RELIEF FOR PH|LATELY.
A Concerted Move to Kill Off
the Flood of Speculative
Issues.
Stamp Collectors Have Been Sys-
tematically Mulcted of Millions
of Dollars.

What at one time was hailed with un-
qualified delight by all collectors of stamps
is now viewed too often with well-merited
suspicion. Every one eagerly sought for
new issues as soon as they were known to
De out in former years. Now all new
corners require time and investigation to
get into philatelic favor. This change is
due to the practice of many countries
some rich and powerful-either producing
or lending themselves to the production of
what are termed speculative or "made-
for-collectors" stamps.
1t was found that in this way consider
able revenue could be raised at little or no
cost, as the hundreds of thousands inter
ested in stamp-collecting throughout the
world could always be depended upon to
absorb anywhere from few thousand dol
lars OF stamps to $1,000, 600 worth of each
new issue.
Some countries took to printing new
issues whenever their Golfers ran low,
others created surcharges, or overprlnted
existing issues, thus creating new varieties
at little expense, and many have resorted
TO the jubilee or commemorative dodge,
1nclted thereto by the extraordinary popu-
larlty OF the Column bian Issue OF the United
otates, of which it is estimated some
million and half dollars worth were
bought by collectors.
flnaily an agitation against the practice
was, was begun in the philatelic press. Col
!ectors were cautioned against certain
issues, and societies were organized having
Ior their special object the boycotting of
the Objectionable stamps. But little head
way was made toward their suppression,
as the dealers continued to handle them,

A Word in the Colonel's Ear.

The following story is told of the Forty.
eighth Georgia Regiment:
As the regiment was on the march to
Gettysburg some of the soldiers stepped
out of the ranks and confiscated couple
OF geese, and one of the drummers IN
headed his drum and put the captured
birds in it.
Shortly afterward the colonel came
along, and, noticing that the drummer
failed TO give his usual drum whacks, rode
up and said:
why don't you beat that drumq"

The colonel drew close to him and said

The drummer whispered:

and then rode on.

New Capital for Brazil.

1t appears that the Brazilians are not
satisfied with their present capital, Rio de
Janeiro, which is not central, not very
healthy and perhaps not roomy enough.
They. are about to build themselves a
brand-new capital, embodying, as the pro-
iectors would say, every modern improve
ment. This news was given, says our
Paris correspondent, yesterday afternoon
to the French Academy of Sciences by one
one of its members, M. Faye. This noted
astronomer has just received a commune
cation anent the new capital from Senior
Cruis, who appends to his name the SUBJ
stantial title of President of the Brazilian
Committee of Preliminary Investigation
tor the Removal of the capital OF Brazil to
the Center of the States of the Confedera-
ton. Senior Cruis states that the new
Federal capital will be built on the central
plateau Of Brazil, in a rectangle of about
twenty-five miles long and seven broad
quite city of magnificent distances equal
to anything in the United States. What
Is more important, the site will be
healthy one, and, Notwithstanding the
nearness OF the new capital to the equator,
the climate will be comparatively mild by
reason of the altitude.-London News.

JAPANESE DISSATISFIED,
They Feel That China Has
Been Treated With Too
Much Leniency.
Plans for Grand Triumphal Parade
Are Dropped to Await Defi-
mite News.

For some time past committee of forty
of the Japanese residents of this City has
been preparing fitting celebration of the
recent victory of the mother country. Now
everything is temporarily off, and the time
for rejoicing has been indefinitely post
poned. The cause of it all is dissatisfaction
with some of the terms of the treaty.
Mr.. Ishikawa, a student, who was a
prime mover in the matter, explained that
they intended to celebrate on May %.
I'VE were going to have procession"
said he. "Then we would have had meet
ing to which we would have invited the city
notables. The programme would have in
Guided speeches and music. Our arrange
ments were nearly completed when we re-
ceived the news of the treaty.
''This was disappointment to many.
We were especially exercised, because it
was intimated that Japan would not
always keep the peninsula of Liao-Tong,
at the extremity of which is Port Arthur,
but would treat it more as a security to
insure the payment of the indemnity
money.
"Such an arrangement was unsatisfac-
tory to many. Others, in fact most of the
residents, were anxious to celebrate any,
how, but they wanted first to know what
they were going to celebrate. OF course
we are all proud of the victories of our
army and navy, but we want to know just
how much territory we have really &C
quired before we begin to talk about our
gains"
Saburo Koya the Japanese Consul, said
that he had been much interested in the
proposed celebration. though his official
position would not allow him to take an
active part in its preparation. Still he had
written Chief Crowley asking that neces-
sary protection be accorded the parade that
was planned. He was much surprised to

Resignation Of W. A. Thrall.

The officials of the Northwestern
railway company Friday morning sent
out a circular giving notice that W. b..
Knislern had been appointed general
passenger and ticket agent to succeed
". a. Thrall, who has resigned from
that position. The circular referred to
the high esteem in which Mr.. Thrall is
cid and said that the resignation and
appointment were to take effect Jan. /.
Mr.. Kniskern has been the assistant
general passenger and ticket agent of
the railway for eight years and was for
merly connected with the Illinois Cen
trail and Louisville & Nashville rail
ways. For the last two or three years
he has had almost entire control Of the
office. He says that no changes will
follow in either the general plan Of the
work or III employees. Mr.. Thrall has
been employed by the Northwestern
railroad, with the exception of fourteen
years, since 1915, most Of the time in
the position from which he just resign
ed. His experience and ability have
placed him in the front rank of railway
men. The present system of contract
tickets was devised by Mr.. Thrall. His
retirement is voluntary. He says that
no better man for the office could have
been found that Mr.. Kniskern.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Fact or Fiction About Two Great Fair
Awards.

A newspaper paragraph denounces as
" false " the claim of a baking powder
company to an award at the Worlds
Fair. Whom can it mean?
Certainly not DR.. Prices. Why? Be-
cause, as the records show, DR.. Prices
exhibited, competed and received the
highest award, both at Chicago and the
California Midwinter Fair. The award
in California included Gold Medal. The
official examiners pronounced it the
strongest, the purest, the most whole
some and efficient of all the baking
powders. It's title to confidence is I'M
questioned.
Can it be the manufacturers of a New
York powder, fictitiously labelled alb
solutely pure" who are making 8 false
claims? That would be strange in
deed, inasmuch as they we're not even
considered in the awards.
Was it Ammonia in the New York
powder that prevented its makers from
competing? If not what?

and it was not until he came to Wis
consin, when, during a period of gener-
al religious interest, lie united with the
| Congregational church in 1910, then
lately organized.
He had expressed q wish to go to
Washington, if he could obtain situa-
ton in a government Office. By the
aid of Gen. Paine, Member of Congress
from the First Wisconsin District, he
secured an appointment in the Treas
ury department. He was we'll pleased
with his position, and might have con-
tinued to stay in Washington had not
the condition of his health required
change. But, for the reason stated, he
deemed it prudent to resign, after hold
ing his position about twelve and q
half years.
The career of Col. Frank in public
life, so far as holding office in Wiscon
SIM ended when he left the state to ac-
cept of a government situation in
Washington.
Col. Frank has been the recipient of
complimentary favors, which could not
fail to be gratifying, as evincing the
respect of friends and citizens. One of
these was a finely executed portrait of
himself, in India ink, life-siZe, hand
somely framed. This was sent to the
Historical society at Madison, to be
placed with the collection of old set
tiers pictures in the room of the soci
ETY.. The friends of schools at Madison
placed the portrait in good position
in the proper room of the Historical so
ciety, and put under it the inscription,
: Col. M. Frank, Father of Free
Schools"
During the past five years Col
Franks advanced age has prohibited
his engaging in active service, although
he has occasionally contributed articles
to the Telegraph Courier, but for two
years he has been almost entirely be-
reft of eyesight, and has been obliged
to be content with information which
fell from the lips of others.

THE FISHERMEN.
Want the Laws Enforced by the Fish
Commission.


Commission.
At the state fshermen's association
meeting at Green Bay, 100 members
were present. Fred Hurlburt, of Green
Bay, was reelected president. A res
olution was adopted that the enforce
ment of the fish laws be placed in the
hands of the existing fish commission
instead of leaving it with the state fish
and game warden and deputies. 4
committee was appointed to look after
fishing interests and legislation before
the legislature. State Fish Commits
sioner Nevins was present and said the
contemplated removal Of the state
hatchery from Milwaukee to Green
Bay was feasible. Noaction was taken,
however. The claim is made that the
spawn is all procured within few
miles of that city, transferred to Mil
waukee and the fry sent back to Green
Bay. The transportation could be
saved by having the hatchery in Green
Bay. Several hundred dollars rent is
also an item OF Importance.
President Hurlbnrt said: Much i'm
portance is attached to the experiment
made two years ago Of stocking the
waters in Green Bay with Columbia
river salmon. Some were planted there
by the state and a number were
caught last fall by Suamico fishermen.
They we're large, fine fish and we will
again attempt to introduce them.
These salmon could easily take the
place of the whitefish which are now
practically extinct. Fox river and
Green bay waters are very suitable for
these fish.
The proposed change in the Lake
Winnebago law will not cut much of a
figure with Green Bay. There are
different fish caught there and they
want different laws from those govern
ing the waters of Green Bay. Cana
dian fish are proving dangerous COM
petitors to Wisconsin's interests, they
being admitted duty free when fresh
Large quantities are being shipped to
Chicago and offered at 2 cents a pound.
Canadian fish in barrels have to pay
duty and an attempt is to be made to
have a tariff placed on frozen fish"

giving them an opportunity to lay
IN a store of something else almost
as palatable, is unfair, especially
when the Government have had
the opportunity of doing so.
Politics cut no figure in what
is before US today. We should
one and all strive to put an end to
the sure death that is knocking at

other hand, should deal with the

ABOUT FISH AND POI. !
Mr. Colburn Believes It a Mistak
to Tabu Them. |

Mr.. EDITOR Upon passing the
fish market this afternoon I was
surprised to find that orders had
been issued to one and all at the
fish market to close their stalls,
throw away their meat and fish
and go home and the officers of the
law in full possession.
Hundreds of laborers and me-
chanics on their way home were
unable to get their daily rations,
of either meat or fish and no one to
explain to them, other than those
who are undoubtedly angry with
the Government and were there, to
say that the Government was bad.
/ came home and upon reading the
Star / find that the Board of
Health had a meeting today and
adopted regulations that poi and
fish are hereafter for an indefinite
period tabued, and 1 wonder what
the Hawaiian people are going to
do. Is the Government in earnest
in placing such regulation =? If
so, what does it mean, do they pro-
pose to starve the Hawaiian race
after allowing this dreaded dis
ease 10 enter our shores Why
tabu poi and fish and more than
that beef ? Is it because it
is sold by Chinese and the
last two articles at the fish
market, and that the latter place
it is in a deplorable condition. l
don't know, and 1 ask the Govern
ment, through your columns, be-
cause am interested In the matter.
They should answer and explain
to the people. They are response
bic for this plague, and the Hawai-
ian people ought to know why it is
proposed not only to kill them off
by cholera, but also by starvation.
1t is true l have been an opposer
of this Government since the over
throw of the queens government on

straightforward way; but, never

others who have stood out against
this Government are only too will

with the Government of today to
the extent of our ability to stamp
out this dread disease, and our SER

converse ton with DR.. J. Brodie this
afternoon, he informed me that
shutting off of the articles named
above is proposterous. He contends
everyone should continue on In their |
usual diet, watch events carefully, !
and all will be well. Poi is the main

off without explanation or without

ORIENTALLU HOME

The wonders of the Orient lay re-
vealed before the eyes of all who care
to see them, and that, too. without it
being necessary to journey to lands
across the seas.
The Oriental never does any more
work tnan is necessary, and when not
working, his engros-ing care Is to
make himself comfortable. In many
respects the art of living appears bet
ter understood in the East than in
our bustling Western world.
There is now hardly a fashionable
home that has not its Oriental room
or rooms, or at least its coy corner;
sometimes the latter is Japanesque in
effect, sometimes Turkish; but what
ever it is, be sure it is the result of an
inner craving for the beautiful things
of life.
