NON-sTlCKABLE STAMPS.
The Post Office Department. Calling in
Large Amounts.

Washington, November 15.-It is said at
the Post Office department that complaint
as to the new issues of postage stamps are
gradually becoming fewer in number. About
every large post office in the country has
sent in protest that the smue ilage on the
stamps was insufficient and that business
men refused to handle them.
The last complaint was received from
Postmaster Day ton at New York. and he
was directed to return all undesirable
stamps.
The policy of Third Assistant Postmaster
General Craige has been TO recall all the
issues that were unsuitable TO the public
use. AS the returned stamps are always de-
stroyed, it can be seen that the number dis
posed of in this way has been enormous. 1t
isstated, however, that the governments
loss will be trivial.
Gen. Craige says new cumming machines
We're pure ha sed for this work, but the per-
sons engaged ON il at the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing did not at first quite
understand the process. All revenue sta-ps
turned out by the bureau are ''gammned'
by hand. The machine process has been
used by the American Bank Note Company
for more than twenty years and Gen.
Graige says the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing is at the present time making as
good stamps as were ever used by the gov
eminent.

ONE NEW JERSEY SWAMP.

An Indian Tradition That Explains Its
Yearly Month of Roses.
In the southern part of Hamilton town
ship, Mercer county, N. j., is tract of
country covering nearly 100 acres that is
absolutely worthless. 1t is low, swampy
and covered with a stunted growth of
brush. Settlers in the neighborhood of
the swamp say that it is the retreat of
raccoons in the fall that are constant
menace to their cornfelds. In the sum-
mer it is full Of snakes. 1t is an insight
~ hole IL months in the year, but the
twelfth month 1t possesses wonderful
charm, for it is covered with wild rose
blossoms. The, vines grow thiok{y in the
swamp, Irvine around the bushes, and
when the season for poisoning comes
they cover the whole tract. The air is
laden with the fragrance, and the pres
ence OF the blossoms can be detected sew
eral miles distant.
This floral sight increases in beauty
every year. No attempt has ever been
made to clean up the swamp, and the
vines have been growing, for years until
1t would now be impossible to find a spot
from Aug. 20 to Sept 10 big enough to
rest ones hat on that isn't covered with a
wild rose blossom. This show of color and
beauty usually lasts about three weeks.
when the petals begin to fall, the Septem-
per storms shake the blossoms asunder,
ana the swamp, becomes as unlnvltlng IN
appearance as before.
Ihere is a bit of tradition connected
with the swamp that explains how the
roses got foothold there The story goes
that two centuries ago the land in the
vicinity OF the swamp was occupied by In
dians, among whom was beautltul
maiden named Bright Face. The girls
iather was determined that she should be-
come the wife of man of his choice, and
1ne Time came for the marriage ceremony.
Inc maiden was not a willing party TO
tne contract but she submitted to her IA
eher wishes, and the ceremony was heid.
Whlle the festivities were on the glrl
suddenly lost her reason and fed In the d.
loo.iolf OF the swamp, into which she WehG
ana was never seen again. She wore bout
nsr mead a wreath of wild rose blossoms.
me Inc following year, it is claimed, Wild
roses made their appearance in the swamp
anu .ney nave increased in NUMBER every
year since The story must be taken with
gram OF salt, but it has been preserved
as one OF the traditions OF the locality

INEW YORK FOR REED.l
Neither Harrison or Mckinley Could
Garry the Empire State.

Washington, Novem Der IA A Repub-
lican politician who has been for several
weeks in New York, and who has good
opportunities for consultation with the
Repu plican leaders there, has arrived in
Washington. He has seen Tom PIatt,
since the election, and had con ference
with him upon the subject OF the pres
identiaI nominating outlook within the
Republican party. This gentleman said:
Mr.. Platt looks to the Republican flu
ture with great confidence aud hopefull-
ness. He was much more frank in his
expression of opinion as to the men and
candidates than / supposed that he would
be. He said that while New York would
look with favor upon the candidacy of
Congressman Reed of Maine or Senator
Allison of Iowa, it could not support
either Mckinley of Ohio or Harrison of
Indiana. This statement was unequivo-
cal, and showed clearly that Mr.. Platt
meant what he sald. He is evidently
not committed as to candidate, but he
has positive views as to the candidates
whom he will oppose.

him. This was not an easy matter, for the
mud was soft and treacherous. number
OF planks were secured, and by forthcoming
the fats tie two men finally reached the
man in the mud.
After much exertiol the man was pulled
from his damp position. The shore was
reached none too soon, for the tide had
long before commenced to come in over the
Hats.
The man was Immediately taken to the
Cambridge hospital in a thoroughly ex-
hausted condition.
