HISTORY ON POSTAGE STAMPS.

Special Issue in Commemoration of
Trans Mississippi Exposition.
The authorities of the postoffice de-
partment have determined upon the
subjects which will be illustrated upon
the new series of postage stamps to be
issued by the department in comment
Grafton of the trans Mississippi and In
ternational Exposition to be opened on
the first of next June at Omaha. They
are illustrative of the conditions,
progress and accomplishment of the
great west from its discovery to our
own day. The series comprises nine
demonstrations of stamps as follows:
One cent-The discovery of the Mis-
sissppi river by Marquette.
Two cent--An Indian chief.
Four cent--A buffalo hunting scene.
Five cent-The path finder, being a
picture of Fremont raising the flag on
the summit of the Rockies
Eight cent--A train of emigrants
crossing the plains.
Ten cents-A mining scene.
Fifty cents-A cowboy and cattle
scene.
One dollar-A harvesting scene or a
great flourishing mill.
Two dollars-The Rock Island bridge
showing part of the city of Omaha.
The director of the mine, who is re-
CURED by special act of congress to
prepare the commemorative or souvenir
medals for this enterprise, has to-day
approved the subjects to be illus
trated and artists are now preparing
the designs. The reverse will be a
group comprising a mounted Indian
spearing a buffalo. Above will appear
the words Trans Mississippi" and be-
low the date 1S45."
The diverse of this medal will show
tn head in profile of the typical young
woman of the trans Mississippi region.
The design is to be prepared by Rock
wood by means of a composite photo
graph and the types are now being Sc
lected by the states and territories of
the entire region. The medals like the
stamps testify the progress of civiliza-
ton from the beginning of things fifty
years ago to the finest and the most re-
fined product of the half century. The
medals are within the protection of all
the laws against counterfeiting the
the coins of the government.

We would say that Mrs. Duggan's ad-
vice as a nurse is endorsed and approx
ed by physicians. DR.. Greene's Nervu-
ra blood and nerve remedy is indeed a
wonderful discovery and of incaloulable
and inestimable value to the sick every
where. 1t is the surest known cure for
rheumatism, neuralgia, headaches, ner-
vous weakness and debility, weak, tired
feelings, and all affections of the blood
and nerves. 1t has been proved over
and over again, in thousands upon thou
sands of cases, that it does cure, that it
makes the sick well.
Physicians know of it's great value,
for they have seen it perform wonders
in restoring health, and they, as well
as nurses, recommend it freely to the
sick because it is the prescription of the
successful physician, DR.. Greene of IS

ATHLETIC MEET PROGRAMME.
Events in Which Danbury Y. M. CA.
GymnastS Will Compete Next Month

Events in Which Danbury Y. M. CA.
Gymnasts Will Compete Next Month.
General Secretary f. d. Stanley, Of
the Danbury Y. M. c. A., has received
the official programme and instructions
for the state gymnastic meet, to be held
in Hartford on Feb, 22d, by the Young
Mems Christian association of connec-
ticut, from Lewis w. Allen chairman of
the committee having the meet in
charge.
1t is expected that it will be quite an
important event in amateur athletic
circles in the state.
1t will be the first meet of it's kind.
and an effert will be made to make it a
very successful one. The Danbury Y.
M. c. A. will send team of gymnasts
from the local gymnasium, who will
expect to win few laurels.
The indoor test contest will be open
to any association in the state, and
three men will represent each associa-
ton The events are marching, free
exercises, home dumb bell drill, parallel
bars and quarter-mile potato race. A
diploma will be awarded by the state
committee to each participant who Sc
cures a percentage of siXty-fve points.
In addition an oak shield will be pre-
scented to the team making the highest
number of points, the shield to be
placed permanently in the building of
the association winning it. There are
in the Danbury gymnasium several
men who can make pretty high scores,
and they will try hard to win this
shield. 81 gas
Besides the above contests there will
be two state championship events for
associations in the athletic league. As
the Danbury association is a member
of this league, and has registered mem
bers. the men will be entitled to enter
in these events, which will be run
ming high jump and twelve pound in
door shot. Two registered men from
each association in the league will be
eligible to contest in these events.
First, second and third prize medals
will be awarded in each of these events
also.
An entrance fee of twenty-five cents
will be charged for each of these two
events, which will be used towards
paying for medals.--Danbury News.

CARE OF THE BLIND,
Annual Report of the Switchboard
Made Public

Annual Report Of the Switchboard
Made Public.
The annual report of the state board
of education of the blind is just made
public. Its financial statement shows
receipts, including cash on hand at the
beginning of the fiscal year, of $40,-
1864. The year ended with cash in
hand Of $S4.46 against $Ss696 on Oc-
tober 1, 1896. The number of state pupils
receiving instruction during the year
was sixty-seven (67), being less by five
than the number receiving instruction
at the expense of the state during the
previous year. OF the CT, nineteen Q9)
were in attendance at the Perkins
institution for blind at South Boston,
forty-eight (4S) at the Connecticut
institution, twenty-one (2I of whom
were adults and twenty-seven (2D were
children at the kindergarten depart
ment.
In addition to the foregoing number
of state pupils the institution has been
able to furnish profitable employment
lOT SlAleeH Wv duulL DllUu people,
seven 60 of whom are employed as
instructors in the several departments.
Of the q blind children cared for dur
ing the year past, Hartford is repre-
scented by six. New Haven by four and
II other towns of the state by one pupil
each. This number includes only the
children in the Hartford school and not
those in Boston.
OF this number, one child's sight was
so much improved by medical and
nurses care, wholesome food, good air
and regular habits that she was
scarcely subject for the institution
longer. Two of the older ones were
discontinued, their progress being in
sufficient to warrant keeping them
longer at the state'e expense, and five
pupils were prepared to enter the Per-
kins institution of Boston.

THAT THIRTEEN CLUB DINNER.
Philadelphians Stirred Up by a Bridge

PhlladelphlanS STIRRED Up by a Bridge
port Writer'S Imagination.
Postmaster Marigold has received
several letters from Philadelphia, in
quiring about a recent banquet of the
Bridgeport Thirteen club. A Philadel-
phia paper published despatch from
Bridgeport graphically describing the
dinner, the fact that candle stood be-
fore each plate, and winding up with
the statement that it was a tradition
of the club that the one whose candle
first burned out would be the first to
die. The article further stated that
Edward Howe's candle was the first to
go out, and soon after he turned black
in the face, was carried to his home in
North avenue, and died early in the
morning.
1t was a sensational story from start
to finish, whose chief element was I'M
truth, but it seems to have made deep
impression upon the sleepy Phila-
delphians. One of the postmaster's
correspondents was a clergyman, who
desired to know if the article was true
and stating that it was very remark
able incident worthy of reference.
The postmaster answered his CORE
spondents in a pleasing manner, inform
ing them that the fact that there was
a dinner was a gospel truth, and that
it was pleasant affair. He then added

A BAR SER M ON.
A Deep Grounded Respect for Cool
Common Sense.

Common Sense.
Weak men study to do exactly what
has been done before. Great men I'M
derstand that each day is a new day.
A weak man takes a drink that he
does not want, because he is asked.
The thoughtful man, whose mind is ca
pable Of governing things and men, as
well as himself, says, THANK you, I
shall be pleased to join you if liquor
be used that will add to our vitality and
ability to do things. If not, know you
will excuse me, for health is paramount
and reason should govern"
Fine sermon that, over a fancy ma
hogany bar, but after all, every man
deeply respects the Individual who is
guided and governed by cool Judgment
and common sense If one finds his
habits Of food or drink are producing
some hints Of disease he should heed
natures plants and properly adjust his
diet to keep his beautiful machinery in
order.
One does not always know where to
commence to correct a diet, but one of
the surest spots is coffee, most skilled
and insiduous enemy that "sings one to
sleep and knifes him.
Its slow but sure effect on heart final
ly produces weak pulse and weak faint
feelings at times, which grow slowly
but steadily more pronounced unless
the cause be removed.
Postum Food Coffee furnishes a de-
licious beverage, high in nutritive
value. for those who are troubled with
coffee.

AN EXECUTIONER FOR CONNECT
JCTIT

ISo ls
There is nothing strange I'm the desire
of Warden Woodbridge that he be
possibly "blood outlines" of executing
murderers. Unfortunately executions
are multiplying and while an officer
may believe in the justice of law that
exacts a 'life for a life'' as in the
Mosaic days, there is naturally
shrinking from becoming personally
responsible for the taking of human
life, even under the authority of
human law. The executioner of France
had to be man unknown, so hideous
was his duty in the public eye. Perhaps
it will have to be so in Connecticut.
No one will accuse the warden of a
lack Of courage. He has great plenti-
fitness Of that desirable quality. Yet
it may well be questioned whether it is
right to place so much responsibility on
his head. Not only has he the charge
of an overcrowded prison but he must
guard murderers so that they do not
cheat the gallows and is supposed to
guarantee their successful execution.
All this he has properly attended to
until Wethersfield has become model
Tyburn. In addition he has been given
charge of an insane ward. To be sure
he has hitherto had charge of insane
prisoners, but when they have been
adjudicated insane, removal from his
Jurisdiction has Immediately followed.
The new lave increases his RESPONSE
bility.
The wish Of the warden seems To lie
that an executioner should be ap-
pointed. Whether this officer-if the
legislature sees fit to provide for one
ought to be allowed to do no other
business or whether his salary should
be merely nominal with "calling-in"
whenever necessary, is mere matter
of detail" Perhaps the warden could
be prevailed upon to remain as ex-
cutioner if his salary were raised from
| 50, 400 annually to $4,000. AS it is now,
$50 are due him for every execution,
but he declines to accept this because
he must make voucher that he takes
it for having executed a criminal
| which Is a receipt for blood money, too
| bald to be borne with equanimity.--
