You Ask for Them.
Three million Of the new green ono-cent postage
stamps have reached the Post Office in this city,
but as there are a lot OF the o~ld-style blue stamps
still on hand the new ones are not sold except 10
those who specially ask for them. The change
in color was made because of the rules of tho
International Postal Union. which prescribes
certain colors for the most commonly used
stamps. In accordance with these rules the five
cent stamp is now printed in blue. instead of
bro n. but as yet no tive-cent stamps of the new
color have reached here. The rules provide for
carLnine for the twocent stamp. The color in
which that stamp has been printed for some
years 10 believed to approach near enough to
carmine. The green OF tho new one'cent stamp
Is of a decided olive tint.

The plant of the Central Massachusetts Electric Go. at Blanchardville, Palmer, was burned last week Thursday morning. The loss Is estimated at about &30, 900. Super intendent E. H. Rollins and one of hIs men, W. K. Shea, were badly burned, but both will probably recover. Three towns, Palmer, Monson and Warren, were in dark ness for number of nights as a result of the fire. Arrangements have been made for temporary service in Palmer, Monson and Warren, which will be continued until the plant can be perma- nently replaced. The fire started about 9 o'clock in the morning. It began In 6 small ''L" over the water wheels. The wheels are regulated by governor, which In turn is operated by oil cylinders. The governor has not worked satisfactorily for some time, and MT. Rollins and Mir. Shea had gone into the room to try to fix it. While they were at work the govern or exploded from some unknown cause. The oil with which the cylinders were alled burst Into the little room, which Is only . few feet square, in a sheet of smoke and flame. The belt which turns the main shafting in the plant was near the governor, and instantly. carried the fire Into the main room. There was a great blaze at once. The fire pump was In the corner near the wheel house and could not be reached.
 The wheel house contained door and a window. MT. Shea made his escape. through the window as soon as possible, followed by Mir. Rollins. The clothing of both was on fire, and MT. Shea re- moved hIs outer clothing as soon as pos gIble. Mir. Rollins was unable to do so, and jumped Into the canal to prevent more serious burns. Both men were ter. ribly burned about the face and hands., It IS thought both escaped internal injury, and MT. Bhea's speedy recovery is looked for. Mir. RoIiins' condition ia more seri- 0na, he having suffered seriously from the shook attendant upon his jumping Into Inc cold water after being in such intense boat.

While the state has been concerned with these matters the attention of the country at large has been directed to the position of influence and power occupied by Senator Hawley at the federal council chamber. It has been Q hard blow at the senatorial schemes of those who are planning and plotting to be rid of him at the end of his term of office because he has outlIved his usefulness. The fact Is that his experience as a soldier and as chairman of the committee on military affairs has given him an influence second to none in congress. It Is to the credit of Connecticut that in the present crisis the man whose counsel Is sought and whose judgment is listened to Is one it's own senators, fact that will not be lost sight of when his successor is to be chosen. There may be other reasons quoted later when his candidacy comes under discus sion why he should retire from public life, but uselessness will not be one of them. His services will be needed more during the next four years than ever before-the period of adequate coast defense prepara. tions.-Ne1O Fork Herald.

In these troublous times people are not paying much attention to what promises to be one of the most impC rtant inyen- tions of modern naval warfare. After long years of persistent labor, it looks as if John Holland had achieved success in the construction of a submarine boat.
