of hostage stamps as money making specula-

'Too Much Johnson" never did.
Perhaps, after ALL Mr.. Gillette was thinking
only of Boston. which the last American
city in which he played. 1t is. indeed. true that

convincing conversation on the simple British
reporter and the trusting British public.

The Newfoundland stamps are said to be
permanent ISSUE but there will be no little
speculation in these also. They are interesting.
and some of them have considerable artistic
merit One bears portrait Of Cabot who dis
covered Newfoundland; another a view of Cape
Bonavista, where he landed, and a third por-
Talt or Henry VII, who granted Cabot his
charter Then there is a series showing the
various industries Of Newfoundland, including
logging hunting. sealing and mining scenes.
sui another stamp bears a Jubilee portrait Of
the Queen.
VAIN EFFORTS AT SUPPRESSION.
There has been in existence for the last three
or four years a Society for the Suppression of
Speculative Stamps" This is composed of
number OF prominent collectors, chiefly profess
sionals who resent the entrance of the various
governments into the stamp collectors trade
The only way in which they discourage
speculative issues by the nations is to agree to
boycott the stamps and cause them to fall HAT
on the market. 1t thought at first that the
society would be able to accomplish a good deal
in this direction but J. w. Scott of this city,
one of its most prominent members, said last
week that it was It much of a success. you
cannot stop thousands of amateur collectors and
small professional dealers from buying the
special stamps" he said, 'and thus the efforts
of few large concerns become practically
futile. This matter will very likely be discussed
at the convention but don't think anything
new will be done with regard to it,
probably the most important subject which
will come up before the convention is the con-
troversy going on between the Postofiice
Department of the United States and collectors
over the various newspaper and periodical
stamps issued by the Government in the last
thirty years. For tho last few years the Post
office Department has not wished collectors to
get hold of these stamps. and it has now taken
the step Of ordering them to be cOniiscated,
without money compensation, wherever found.
Now. you readily see that people who have
paid their money for these stamps and have
owned them for years naturally object to this
proceeding SO Il large number of collectors
have banded together To fight the Governments
action. Subscriptions are coming in all the time,
and shall. employ the best counsel We can
get Tho case involves the possessions of
about ffty-thousand stamp collectors scattered
throughout the country.
