EXTRA STAMPS, ON MONEY
 LETTERS ATTRACT THIEVES

Frequent complaints have been made at the Norwich postoffce by persons mailing letters there with money in them, directed to out of town points, have never been delivered. In most cases they are letters upon which the senders have put extra postage Especial delivery) with the idea that this would be a better protection than if the letter were sent in the ordi- nary mail.
 Postmaster John P Murphy says that the special delivery stamps in such cases have probably had just the opposite ef- feet, as they have drawn attention to the letter and led somebody at the delivery point to rife the mail The letter with money in it would have been safer with out the special delivery stamp.
 The postnaster's advice is that letters ontaining money and other valuables should be registered. The safest way to transmit funds is by money order.
 In number of the cases of stolen let ters referred to above the senders of the money have been those who could i'll af- ford to lose It is to be deplored that men employed by the government will re- sort to such meanness, knowing that ii detected they will lose their positions as well as serve time in the penitentiary.

Search has gone on unremittingly for almost two weeks now in following up every available trail that might lead the local police or the Pinkerton detectives to the three men who robbed the John X George H. Bliss Co. jewelry store of about SIP ,0G0 worth of unset diamonds ou the afternoon of Wednesday, Nov. "A, but how near the authorities have got to To- eating and capturing the robbers has not been disclosed.
 Two Pinkerton men have spent much time here and Clifford E. Wilson of the Bliss store has spent many hours in the aggregate in conference with them at night at police headquarters. Over a score of men, probably, have been sum moned to police headquarters to be ques- tioned either by the local police or the Pinkerton operators along lines that
 might throw some light on aspects of the case that have cropped up.

In the lesson of the sec ond Sunday the church stresses the vii tue Of hope. as the second step toward this worthy preparation. While teaching that God is just, she also teaches that. when certain conditions are fulfilled, He is merciful; and she would have her chil- dren cultivate that virtue of confidence in the goodness and forgiveness of Goo which St. Paul enjcins. While admonish. ing men to proper fear for the conse quences of sin, the preacher called atten tion to the face that our holy mother the church, encourages even the greates sinner to hope citing as his inspiration the many instances of the miracles of oul Divine Lord III which the Saviour granted the requests and the prayers of thost who sought His mercy through this yer. i fact of their confidence ili His answer tt i their varying petitions-the blind man O l Jericho, the insistent centurian the trust 1 ing women certain that health would b. | hers if she could but touch the hem o the Saviour's garment.
