even though the stamps are unobtain.
able at present.
The letter was from Collector James
A. Wood of Portsmouth, N. H., who Is
the man to whom the druggists and
lawyers were to apply to get wha,
stamps they needed. The stamps used
at the banks come direct from the
government.
The letter is as follows:
Portsmouth, N. H., June 80, 1898
l received the following information
from the commissioner of internal rev.
enue, this morning. When you shall
have received the stamps for use, send
me the amount in cash or draft on Bos
ton, with sworn statement that You
have RENTED to the collector the full
amount you owe the government for

JAMES a. WOOD, Collestor
Taxpayers are importuning this Of
fee to know what they shall do on the
morning of the 1st of July, if they
have not been able to procure the a1-
hesive stamps necessary for the trans
action of business.
In reply attention is called to the last
three lines on page s, and the first
three lines on page 3, or the war rev.
enue law Of 1898. which reads as fol-
lows:
And provided further, That in all
cases whore the party has not affixed
the stamp required Fly law upon any
such instrument issued. registered, sold
or transferred a time when and at
place where no collection district was
established, it shall be lawful for him
or them. or any party having an in
terest therein, to afiiX the proper stamp
thereto.
The language Where no collection
district was established" is construed
and held to be the same as if read.
Where no stamp deputyshlp or agen-
cy was established" and where for that
reason il was impossible to procure
Stamps, ana where the failure to afix
them was not due to any willful de-
sign to dafraud the United States, Or
to evade or delay payment thereof. the
taxpayer may in such cases be reliev-
cl by the collector from payment of the
penalty.
1t is held that the law does not ro-
quire impossible things to be done. ana
when for the reason above gwen it was
not possible to procure the stamps,
it is not insisted that business shall
stop and vendors shall by reason there
CT withhold goods from the market.
but that legitimate business may be
transacted and the stamps required on
goods disposed Of under such circum-
stances may be affixed by the owners
| thereof or parties Interested therein,
and in cases of consumption the retail
vender shall make sworn return of tn
facts to the collector of internal reve-
nue, VINO shall assesses the amount of
tax due ana collect the same under the
rules and regulations provided under

| Tax payers are admonishcd that this
urgency regulation does not in any
way excuse them from the duties i'm

Letter from Collector Regarding the Absence
Of Revenue Stamps.

A letter received by the banks and
druggists, Friday morning, greatly re-
lieved the minds of many in regard to
the matter of the revenue law that
went into effect, and no stamps could
be procured, to carry out the idea of
the government. Some had begun to
worry for the penalty of breaking the
law is heavy, and though there seemed
no way to do but to suspend business
or break the law, the letter settled the
doubts, and all continued business,
even though the stamps are unobtain-
able at present.
The letter was from Collector James
A. Wood of Portsmouth, N H., who Is
the man to whom the druggists and
lawyers were to apply to get what
stamps they needed. The stamps used
at the banks come direct from the
government.

Maud Hoffman Engaged,

Phe following is from the San Frau
cisco Bulletin, of the 4th inst.
"While pretty, dashing, black.eyed
Madeline Bouton, the erstwhile leading
lady of the Frawley company, has been
'languishing on a bed of pain out at
the hospital. Manager Frawley and
Messrs. Friedlauder and Gottlob & Co.
have been sending cablegrams and tele-
grams to the various parts of the world
seeking to secure the service OF q success
sor to the lovely Madeline. Several days
were spent in fruitless efforta, but fnal :
ly according to Mr.. Friedlander, their
efforts have at least approached success.
We have not yet definitely closed with
any one to succeed Miss Bouton,' he
said recently, but / think, in all probab.
llity Miss Maud Hoffman will be secur-
ed. She has cablsd an acceptance OF
our terms and apparently there is moth
ing to crevent her from coming out here.
Miss Hoffman has played many import
ant roles both in England and THE
country. She never before has been in
