The Stamp Collecting Mania.
From the Ne,c York World.

From the Nelc York World
"Many people think that stamp collecting
is strictly one of tre whims of young peo-
pie, but such is far from being the fac +"
said member of the Scott Stamp and Coin
Company one afternoon.
"rhey have an idea" he continued, that
stamp collecting is only fit for young peo-
ole, and that coin collecting is confined to
old heads. 1t amuses me to hear the re-
marks of those who buy coins regarding
our display of stamps. Why, most Of our
best customers are men who spend great
deal of time ard money over their stamps.
There are men in this city who buy $1,000
worth of stamps Of us and even more every
year, and they keep close track Of all the
new stamps that are issued all over the
world. The stamp bu ,iness is increasing
every year, but we cannot get as high prices
now as we could, because of the COMPETE
ton"
What are your most valuable United
States stampsM
''Well, to make you understand about the
value of our oldest issue stamps, | will have
to explain about them TO you. You ee,
the fl st stamp that was issued by the gov
eminent for general use was issued in 1S47.
For several years previous to this, however,
there were stamps in use in several cities
which were issued by the postmasters, and
were only good for delivery in the city
where they were issued. The cities which
manufactured stamps before the govern
ment were Baltimore, Brattleboro, Vt. 4;
New York, New Haven, Providence, Mill
bury, N. c., and st. Louis. All of these
stamps are very valuable today. Those
which were sold in st. Louis for 20 cents
are worth $500 now. There are only few
OF them in this country, and there's only
one in this city that We know of. 1t is
owned by member Of our firm"

OF small fractions in the early trading. Wheel
ing and Lake Erie showed marked strength and
moved up over a point, while the advances In
the rest of the list were confined to small frac-
tons only. Free realizations became noticeable,
however, and heavy selling of New England
knocked the price of that stock off rapidly and
encouraged further attack by bears, and the
market quickly retired to below opening
figures, Western Union and Lackawanna being
also conspicuously weak. Lake Shore then be-
came the strong feature, and prices in the gen
eral list gravitated back to the level OF opening
figures New England however. continued to
yield, and it was not until toward the close that
any improvement was made in the stock.
Richmond and West Point later dropped ma
terlaly for no apparent cause, but the general
market closed fairly active and steady to firm

When the chance comes and they find

when they find that the change CORES
ponds to the number of tickets before
them they suavely draw the attention
of the treasurer, to h mistake.
Speaking of the treasurer dropping
bills on the floor of the box office, it is
a very common thing indeed for peo-
| pie who are purchas ing tickets Mt the
box Office window to drop bill or two
out of their change before they man
age TO get away, and this is so well
known among certain class Of young
men that they resort TO the Hobbies Of
such theatres as are producing success
full and money-making plays, and
where the lobby is in consequence
crowded just before the performance.
and everybody is in Il great hurry, and
they wait around 10 pick up bills that
are dropped after this fashion. And
hero again the treasurer is very apt to
get beaten if he doesn't look out
When the man goes away from the box
office aud counts his change inside the
theatre and finds it short he comes
back to the treasurer and insists that
he hasn't got change enough. The
precaution that every treasurer takes
who is on his guards is that whenever
he hands out change for bill of large
denomination he spreads out the vari-
Gus bills. one distinct from the other,
so that the man purchasing the tickets
can sec every ono of them. In con-
sequence. when he comes back to the
box office to collect from the treasurer.
he is reminded of the fact and forced
to weaken.
One OF the greatest trials that
treasurer has TO contend with is the
man who comes for two seats and who
declares that he has never been in the
theatre and who wants to 90 inside to
inspect the exact location of the seats
before purchasing. 1t seems almost
increditable, but is nevertheless true,
that day after day men and women
make their way into the dimE lighted
theatres and sit down and wrlgglc
around in the seats that they propose
to occupy at night and gaze around at
the other seats that are usually COW
cred with linen draperies and at the

AFFAIRS IN UTAH.

Gov. West Makes am Interesting
showing I'm His Annual Report
SAYS a Washington dispatch: Caleb W.
West, governor OF Utah, In his annual report
to the secretary OF the interior estimates the
population of the territory at 10000. an in.
crease OF about GO, 00O since 1882 The assess
ell trxable valuation is stated to be 6,379,-
O13, an increase OF about Gil, 900 during the
year.
The manufacturing industries OF the terri
tory are said to be In a satisfactory condition,
and, taken as a whole, the year has been a
progressive and prosperous one for Utah.
Owing TO the unusually light rainfall during
tue growing season farming has not been a
success, but irrigated lanl has produced
abundantly The annual mineral products OF
the territory for the calendar year 1857 is
given as S7,637, 729, OF which 1890, SSi was
silver.
Labor, the report saws, has been in demand
during the year. Carpenters receive $3.50
per day and are In strong demand. Stone
cutters, masons. and bTicklayers from 81 to
4.5O der day, also In demand Miners from
$3.50 to 81 per day. Nearly all the other
trades are well paid and fully employed.
In the course OF bis remarks upon the Nor
mon question the governor says: Nothing
can justify the despotism of the Mormon po-
litical system to people who have known and
appreciate the blessings OF free government
Tie unity OF the church and the state is per.
feet and indissolube. IL Is based upon the
complete aad absolute control Of priesthood
welding n supreme power. exercised aud
yielded, and claimed To smanaie Immediately
from God, in all things secular as we'll as
spiritual. The word of the priesthood is TO
the Mormon people the command of God. not
only in matters Of faith and morals but IN all
civil, political, and commercial affairs. This
prize 'thood not only rules the church but
governs the state"
The governor says that he has no religious
controversy with the Mormon people with po-
lygamy left out Of the question, but he de-
clares that the local civil government under
tbe Mormons is as theocratic as that OF the
ancient Hebrews
Pending the settlement of the question of
admitting Utah into the union the governor
recommends the appointment by congress- OF
committee with full authority to make a
complete and thorough investigation OF their
civil as we'll as religious conditions heretofore
and now prevailing in the territory. Justice
to the whole COUNTRY, the governor says, as
well as TO the Mormon aud non Mormon
people, requires such Investigation TO be
made.
