report was in circulation here to-
day that the Governor would call an ex-
ira session of the Legislature to make an
appropriation for coast defense. GOV.
Atkinson, however, denied tonight that
there was any foundation for such re-
port II is the duty of the federal gov
eminent TO provide for the defense and
carry on the war if there Is one, he said,
and the state would only take up the mat
ter when the federal authorities fail to
provide adequate defense.
Gov. Atkinson mailed to the war de-
partment request for a sufficient num-
Der of carbines to equip the four battal-
ions of cavalry in the state militia.
A letter was also directed to the war
department asking the government to
furnish three ten-inch guns for each Of
the batteries in the state militia. The
Governor states that the cannon now used
by the artillery is old and of such a poor
model as to make them practically use
less.

This is undoubtedly the highest price ever
paid for any single specimen and is a fact
that will be hailed with surprise in every
civilized country in the world. Frequently
rare stamps are sold in this country and
Europe for $1,000 and upward. but nevc"
before has the selling price of the scarcest
varieties touched the 5000 mark. The
stamp In question was found in the colony
early last winter; IL is on the original en-
velope and is very lightly Cancelled. and
while a number of others are in existence
this is admitted to be the finest specimen
that has ever been discovered.
The Island of Mauritius. from which
these renowned stamps were issued, is a
small English colony about 1000 miles OF
the east coast of Africa, separated from
the main land by Madagascar. II was
among the first British possessions to cs-
tabish a postal service, which dates back
to 1877, and the Post Office stamps, as

constituted the first consignment sent t.
the colony. They were issued in two de
nominations, 1-penny orange and 2-pence
blue, the total number printed being less
than 1000. In design they are very similar
to the early English issues, showing the
head Of Queen Victoria to the left, while

they paid So 40. and last winter two specl-
mems were sold TO a Paris dealer for
5000. The specimen recently found by
Tar the finest known. was actually sold Cor
the sum or 5000. thus establishing a new
record for the most valuable postage stamp.
The condition Of this specimen was a po-
tent factor in regulating Its price. as il is

UNIV ERStTY NOTES


Glasses in all departments at the univer
sity proper have settled down to the work
of the term; the law and medical depart
ments will open the coming week, and a
large attendance Is anticipated.
Athletics are Frightening up at the var
sity, especially in foot ball circles. Man
ager Watkins announced the engagement
of Mr.. Donovan, an old Brown Varsity
quarter back, for COACH and good results
are expected from the team under his
coaching. The gridiron has been worked
out and is diagonally across the field di-
rectly in front of the grand stand, making
those seats very desirable for witnessing
the games A good squad reports every
evening for practice and some very promis-
ing material is showing up. The Long
brothers, natives of Honolulu, two Stalwart
young fellows, are now trying for the team
and it is probable that the much needed
full back lies in one of them. A change in
the hours of recitation now enables the
teams to be out from 4 to in l.ie evening
A good track team is, as heretofore, a
thing of certainty. The track is being put
into fine condition and it is expected that
upon the arrival of Mr.. Foley next week
a large squad will be out in this line. 1t is
doubtful If the annual track meet will be
held this year at the old track it having
been outlawed from the l.. A. W., and it
is probable that the next meeting will be
held at the university grounds
The manager of the tennis association
has returned and is very much pleased with
the prospects for the coming season. The
courts have all been improved and every
thing is propitious for an excellent show
ing in tennis. 1t is not as yet known
whether the university team will enter the
competition for the District championship
this season.

his indignant thoughts into words there
was a warning cry from the gangway,
