No Stamps Necessary.

Percival H. Boltz, Secretary Of the
American Hose Company, Pottsvllle,
some time ago wrote to the Internal
Revenue Department for information
regarding the placing OF internal rev.
enue stamps on orders issued by that
company. He has just received an
answer, in which it is stated that ''if
said order is simply used by the treas
urer as voucher and is not given to
the payee to present for payment, it
is not subject to the stamp tax" This
is applicable to all societies.

1899 Columbia Calendar.

The Pope Mfg. Co., of Hartford,
Conn.,, has issued the Columbia Desk
pad Calendar for 1899. This handy
reminder has been foryears one of the
most pleasing of special advertising
features. We note that the new cal
endar is very similar In design and
makeup to tine 1898 calendar,
although it has more artistic covers
and is more profusely illustrated.
Any person may obtain a copy by
applying to the nearest Columbia deal

The latest fad of certain class of
fashionable ladies in Paris is to scent
themselves by the means ofhypodermic
injections. This is of course the folly
of women who have money and no oc-
cupation to keep their minds from
eccentric doings. The custom of scent
ing the breath with drugs injected
under the tongue is by no means new,
and the later practice is development
of it. If American women, so many
of whom also have money and nothing
to interest the better part ofthe mind,
insist on following the Paris example,
let them be wise enough to see that
the apparatus is thoroughly cleansed
with carbolic acid and SO made asep-
tic. One can fancy no surer way of
disseminating disease even If the solu-
tions injected are harmless except to
the noses of those who don't like
woman reeking with perfumes.

UNFOUTDiD AND UNJUST
Filipinos Are Not Soliciting Aid
From Europe.
DELEGATES TO M'KINLEY
Acting in the Most Perfect Good Faith
With the American Authorities.
VIII Be Received by the
President.

Washington. Sept. 27.-General Fran
/ general of volunteers for distinguished
services in the invasion of the Philip
pines, accompanied by his personal stan
and the delegates from the Philippine
| insurgents. arrived here this afternoon
from Chicago and went to the Arlington
hotel.
General Greene and staff called at the
adtutant generals office this afternoon
and were escorted TO the white house by
General Corbin. The Philippine dele
gates are desirous of comforting with
the president, and the question of their
reception was under consideration at
the state department this afternoon.
There is no doubt but that the presi-
dent will grant them an audience in
their personal capacity.
The delegates were the center of much
interest at the hotel Mr.. Lopez said
that no instructions had yet been re-
ceived from the Philippine government,
but these were expected very soon, a. a
guide to the future movements of the
delegates.
When Mr.. Lopez was asked as to the
reports that the Philippines were So
liciting help from European govern
ments, he declared that such reports
were utterly unfounded and unjust.
They were acting in the most perfect
good faith with the American author
tiles. As an evidence or this he cited
the fact that the German consular Of
tcer on the island had requested a con-
ference with Aguinaldo. b. that leader
had refused to rant the conference.
Mr.. Lopez also characterized as un-
warranted the stories that Germany
was secretly equipping the Philippine
insurgents i'm order 10 bring about in
ternational dissensions and embarrass
American control.
When General Greene reached General
Corbin's office he found awaiting him a
commission OF major general of volun-
teers, dated so as to place him in that
grade from August last He promptly
took the oath OF office and became a
full fedged major general
General Greene brought from Manila
the official report OF General Merritt
and inclosed with this were the reports
Of the subordinate officers Of the United
States army who participated in the
military operations before Manila.
