THE OLD HOMESTEAD"

Denman Thompson's grand New Eng
land drama, handsomer than ever, with
the many new touches which have been
made to scenery and costumes, and
brighter and more attractive than be-
fore because of the new songs, new
lines and new bits of business which
have been introduced, is now making
its annual visit to the Boston theatre.
There is little use to say much about
1.-THE Old Homestead" nowadays, it's
many merits are so well known. The
present engagement will be the last in
Boston this year, and also the last in
New England this year, for at the end
Of the Boston run the play goes to
Brooklyn, and then farther and farther
away from "oId New England" Mr..
Thompson's company is, on the whole,
about the same as was seen when the
play was last presented in Boston, al
though there are three newcomers of
prominence in the present cast-Charles
Carter as Cy Prime, Frank Knapp as
Eb Ganzy, and Miss Ethel Ormonde as
Annie Hopkins.
Included in the list of forthcoming
attractions to be seen at the Boston
theatre, following the reign Of Han
Ions "Superba," are The Great Ruby"
Augustin Days magnificent produc-
ton; James O'Neil in THE Musket-
GERS; Madame Modjeska; Chauncy Oh
colt in a new play; and Jacob Lifts

doah."

Guam, was oyerrun with requests for the
distinctive stamp for the Island of Guam,
which, are mtrely. Emitted States stamps Of
the same denomination. with Guam
stamped across the face in black ink He
had offers in some cas- of double the
face value OF the stamps but as he had
but a limited supply, he declined to part
with any Of them while he was in this
country.
The first ship that carried mail TO Guam
after the departure of the governor took
with it many requests from stamp collec-
tors, so many, in fact that Capt. Leary
began to cast about. for some means Of
supplying the demand Wishing to ac
commodate the collectors and at the same
time to secure the additional revenue
within his reach. he decided to bank the
money received and order stamps to fill
the demands. The stamps will not be
used for carrying the mail, and as they
will cost the government only about $40

So Great From Collectors that Capt.
Leary Sends for $4,000.

Following close upon the sale of $1,000
sets of newspaper and periodical stamps,
comes the information from Capt. Leary,
governor of the Island of Guam, that
there is great demand from collectors
for Guam stamps, says the New York
Sun. with It's few inhabitants, long
lapses of time between mails and its COM
parative isolation, 1t was reasonable to
suppose that Guam would require but few
stamps and those of small denominations

WHEN TO RETIRE FROM BUS.
NESS.

HOW long, Mr.. Carnegie, do you
think a man should remain in business
At what age should he cease to accu-
mulate millions?
Very naturally, think / retired
just at the right age At or about 60.
In professions perhaps, they can re-
main longer, but business requires all
the faculties to be alert and at their
highest development. Besides, as a
rule, business is SO exacting an occu-
patton that a business man at so is
probably as old as a man who has fol-
lowed profession is at So
And when your man of millions has
retired from active business. in what
way do you think he can best spend
his time and energy?"
IF he is a wise man, he will imme-
diately try to interest himself in public
duties. This. of course, embraces good
work in his immediate neighborhood
When he places his accumulated exper-
fence and ability at the disposal of his
fellow-man he serves himself at the
same time"
