HENRY GEORGES ACCEPTANCE.
He VIII Make Up His Mind Today
Regarding His Nomination..

New York, Oct. 2-Henry George. who
was nominated for governor by the sill
yer Democrats on Friday night, said to-
day that he would make up his mind to-
morrow whether he would accept the
nomination Willis j. Abbott. who nomi-
mated George at the silver convention,
said, in most positive terms, that the re-
port that George would withdraw from
the ticket ia favor of Van Wyck was
untrue Even if George declines TO run,
he said, Justice Van Wyck will not be
substituted.
1t was Elliott Danforth who was re-
sponsibie for the statement that Justice
Van Wyck would be substituted on the
silver ticket for Henry George. Mr.. Dan
forth stated this in the course of a con-
versation about his own nomination for
lieutenant governor on the silver ticket.
He has not yet made up his mind what
to do about this nomination but inti-
mated that he would stick If Van Wyck
was nominated, and withdraw If Henry
George remains at the head of the ticket

DEWEY READY FOR CAMARA.
He Would Have WaIIoped Him as
He Did MOntoiO.


A story illustrating Admiral Dewey's
prompt way of preparing for any emer-
gency is brought from Manila by Capt.
Sebree, of the steamer China.
When the cablegram reached Dewey an
nouncing that Camara's fleet had actually
entered the Suez Canal and might be ex-
pected soon at Manila, Dewey paid a visit
to Capt. Sebree, on the China, and care
fully inspected the big liner.
He seemed particularly impressed with
her sharp steel bow, which comes to
knife-like point. He turned to the cap
tain and said: This is fine ship you
have and l want to use her as a ram
We can put on some good rapid-fre
guns and then you can sail into the auxil-
iary cruisers of Camar;ss fleet and ram
them out of sight before they know what
you are doing. 1 will see that you are
made acting commodore and that you are
well rewarded Will you do it?
Sebree replied that he would like no
better fun, as the China is twice as fast
as most of the vessels Of Camara's fleet
and he believed she could whip even the
cruisers in fair fight.
When Camara turned back Dewey was
much disgusted, as he had ali his plans
laid TO give the last remnants of Spain S
fleet as lively a reception as he gave
Montojo's ships.

ABOUT STAMPS.
One Collection Said to Be Worth
Half n Million Dollars.
lFrom the London ChfonicIe.)

(From the London ChTonicle.)
Mr. BuhI, the well-known dealer, has
been good enough to give me a few lead
ing facts with reference to stamps and
their collection. Most of us have been
collectors at one time or another-gener-
ally in our school days-but it is surpris-
ing TO learn that there are about 300e009
of serious collectors in existence, and at
least 1000 dealers, with agents every
where The trade in fact is a very large
one, and as stamps, as hobby, are GER
tainly a luxury, the chancellor of the eX-
chequer might do worse than give the
question of small tax, say per cent on
the sales. his earnest attention.
The most valuable stamp in existence is
the first issue of Post Office Mauritius
the Id. and I'd. were recently sold for
G1.920, and single specimen on an old
envelope was sold last month for Ell 600
The error here Is Post Office" instead of
Post Paid They were of local manu-
facture and only used a few days in 1S43
There are only nineteen of these stamps
known to be in existence. nine penny and
ten two penny ones. two of the latter hay-
ing recently been discovered in India. Other
rare stamps are Hawaii Sandwich ISL
ands) cent blue, first issue worth 600
to &S00. and British Guiana first issue 2
cents, which fetches about the same
price. These, as may be imagined. do not
often come into the market. The number
of varieties in existence is about 1900 or
double that number if you take used and
unused stamps, AS the higher grade of
collectors do add fancy varieties of per-
forations and watermarks, which often
make a very great difference from the
philatelic point of view, and a perfect
collection would number so co.,
Probably the best collection now in ex-
istence is that of NJ. Philip Luvenotiere,
who has spent more than e100, ,090 upon it,
In this country Mr.. W. B. Avery, a mer-
chant prince who began collecting only
eight or nine years ago, holds the palm.
his albums containing at least ESQ, ,O0l
wort, of stamps, and this l am told
without being a "bloater," which is a
slang term in the philatelic world for one
who overloads his collection with valu-
able duplicates
The first stamp issued was the Id black
Great Britain, the event taking place on
MAY /. 1870 This was followed by Brazil
(of all places in the world) in 1S41: and
two years later by Zurich, and by Maui
ritius in 1871, The latest stamp is the
Cape of Good Hope I'D. green, with the
figure of Britannia upon it, which was
issued on the first of the month. Cata-
logues are now published in every Euro
pean language, and there are over 20t
magazines, the leading one being The

A full attendance is expected at the
session of the Alger relief commission at
its meeting today. Some of the members
who were absent part of last week re-
turned to Washington last night, and the
others are expected today The commits
sioners do not anticipate an interesting
meeting 1t is not unlikely, however, that
the taking of testimony will begin today.
Maj. Gen. Wheeler came over to Wash
ington from New York yesterday at the
request of the commission. He will be
asked to tell of the condition of affairs at
Santiago and Camp Wikoff and particu-
larly at the latter place, where he was
the commanding officer for time.
Gen. Wheeler does not believe in vast
ing time, and he will possibly ask the
commission to let him appear on the wit
ness stand today! He intends to assume
fun responsibility for everything that
came within his jurisdiction as general
officer of the volunteer service.
He believes that much of the hue and
cry about abuses at Camp Wikoff was
due to well-meaning people who visited
the camp, and being Shocked by the ap-
pearance of the men in the hospitals, as
sumed that the condition was due to lack
of proper treatmeEt there.
Gen Wheeler called on President Nc
Kinley at the White House last night,
The reports that the President wants
to get Secretary 4Alger out of the cabinet

seat in the Senate are said TO have no
foundation in fact. The President has
told the members of the Alger Relief
Commission that he had no Intention of
getting Secretary Alger to leave the Cab
met, and there is belief in political
circles that the President Is confident
that the freest and fullest investigation
OF the War Department by Congress and
the Commission will exonerate Secretary
Alger of the charges made against him.
Secretary Alger told a reporter on Fri
day night that he intended 10 stay in
the Cabinet until the end of his term If

To CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh. to Sleep Well, TO
Know What Appetite and, Good
Digestion Mean. Make Test
of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indi-
annapolis Gentleman.


No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having ii think that their nerves
are to blame, are surprised that they are
not cured by nerve medicines and Spring
remedies; the real seat of mischief is lost
sight of; the stomach is the origin to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregu-
lar: in others, the kidneys are affected;
in others the bowels are constipated, with
headaches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite, with the accu-
mutation of gas, sour risings and heart
burn.
Mr. A W. Sharper, of No. 81 Prospect
Street, indianapolis. Ind, writes as fol-
lows: "A motive of pure gratitude
prompt me to write these few lines re-
garding the new and valuable medicine,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 have been
a sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the
last four years; have used various patent
medicines and other remedies without
any favorable result. They sometimes
gave temporary relief until the effects of
the medicine wore off. / attributed this
TO my sedentary habits, being a book
keeper with little physical exercise, but
/ am glad TO state that the tablets have
overcome all these obstacles. for / have
gained in flesh. sleep better, and am bet
ter in every way. The above is written
not for notoriety, but is based on actual
facts.
Respectfully yours.

1t is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any stomach weakness
or disea.u except ca acer of the stomach.
They cure sour stomach. gas, loss of
flesh and appetite. sleeplessness, palpita-
tion. heartburn, constipation and head
