Green Goods Circulars.

I L_Th e postoffice authorities at ■Washington have adopted a new fc!an to protect gullible people

from being victimized by the alleged dealers in “green goods,” who persist in plying their nefarious business in spite of the efforts of the government to prevent them from using the United States mails for that purpose. Suspected letters are marked with the following stamp by the postmaster at whose office they are mailed: “The person receiving this letter is warned against swindlers, who falsely pretend to deal in counterfeit money. If this letter relates to that subject, hand it to the postmaster, who will forward it to the postoffice department, division of correspondence at Washington.”
