Surcharged United States stamps
are in use on the Island of Guam and
are special object of interest to col
lectors. When Captain Leary. Govern
or of the island, took ship he was be-
sieged by stamp-fiends who wanted to
take the whole supply off his hands at
double it's face value. OF course the
Captain did not let go, but by the next
steamer To his island colony he got
cash orders for ten times as many
stamps as he had in stock. To meet
the demand Leary has ordered S11, 900
worth of stamps from Washington,
classified as follows: 1-cent, $4,000; 9
cent. $4,000; Scent, 5000; 4-eent, 5000;

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, Aug. 10.-Today's market
was good deal more active than for
some time past and showed undeniable
evidence Of strength. But the strength
Yves for the most part in spots and the
speculation did not get far outside pro-
tesslonal limits. The favorites were
the industrials, and only few of the
railroads made any conspicuous gains.
The most prominent movement of the
day was in the leather stocks, the COM
mon rising Ia and the preferred IL on
very heavy dealings in the first named.
The iron and steel stocks as a group
showed strength in somewhat VARYING
degrees, but gains in most of them
reached point and in some of them
approached points. Tennessee Coal &
Iron was the leader of the group and
OF the market, with a rise of nearly 8
points on very heavy demand.
The strength in this group is account
ed for by the extraordinary condition in
the trade where production of lower
grades although largely increased,
seems quite unable to keep pace with
consumption in the higher grades of the
Industry Anaconda Mining shows a
handsome gain, and there was a very
large demand for National Lead. Colo
RADIO Fuel and various stocks were more
or less affected by conditions in the iron
trade, which was firm. Sugar Peoples
Cas- Detroit Gas and Linseed Oil pre-
ferred had their periods Of strength
In the railroad list speculation was
inclined to hold off pending the govern
ment crop report. The st. Paul state
ment for the first week of August
prompted some buying of the gran
gers. Gains of q point or over were
shown by Chicago & Great Western,

RAILROAD RUMORS.
This Is the Biggest Com.
bine That Has Been
Proposed.

New Haven, Aug. 1O.-Negotiations
are under way, it was said here this
morning by high but unquotable rail-
road authority, though 1t was impossi-
BILE to confirm the story, for a combina-
ton of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford, the Boston & Maine and the
Canadian Pacific railroads. The rumor
is to the effect that the leading direct
ors of these roads have already begun
negotiations along this line Among
the higher officials of the New Haven
road no information could be gotten to-
day, both President Clark and Vice
President Hall being out of town.
Rumors Of such a consolidation have
been In the air in this city for a week
now, but cannot he traced to any def
mite statement of fact. 1t is also said
here that General Manager G. D. Ste
vens of the Chesapeake & Ohio has
been made tentative offer of the po-
sition of general manager of the New
Havenroad in anticipation of the change
rumored above. General Manager
Chamberlain, 1t is also rumored, will
be advanced to the second vice presi-
dency, vacant since the resignation of
c. S. Mellen to make room for Mr.. Ste
vens 1t is also expected that Presi-
dent Clark will step down as soon as ne
can his health being very poor. The
Pennsylvania road is also said to be in
terested, and will make some arrange
ment for the north New England traf-
flc that will be satisfactory to the New
Haven people.

AT STERLING CAMP.

Sterling Junction, Aug. 10-This af-
ternoon and evening the ladies of the
camp ground, with Miss Edith Cert
rude Kinney as chairman, held sale
in Epworth League hall. On account Of
the rain, which poured the greater part
of the day, the people did not turn out
as we'll as was expected. Most of the
articles were sold out in the afternoon.
There were five tables containing many
beautiful small articles, the price be-
ing less than the average sales of fairs
are.
The lemonade table was in charge of
Miss Esther S. Putnam, chairman, and
Miss Anna e. Joyce During the after
noon common lemonade was on sale
with afternoon teas. In the evening
raspberry lemonade was fully patron
lied. The variety table was prettily
decorated in red and white bunting,
with golden rod. Mrs. w. A. Northrop
was chairman of the committee, which
included Miss Elizabeth Northrop, Mrs.
G. W. Putnam and Miss Edith Putnam.
Mrs A. B. F. Kinney was chairman
of the committee on the vegetable
stall. She had very fine collection of
fruit and vegetables. In the centre Of
the table was the largest watermelon
ever seen on the camp grounds. 1t was
the present Of Mrs. G. A. Richardson.
Summer squashes followed out were
filled with assorted flowers and made
the table a charming spot.
Mrs. f. E. Hartman sold the pies and
cakes.
An elegant assortment of candy made
by the skilful hands of Miss Edith Kin
ney was sold by Miss Mabel Nudge
All the art of confectionery making
was shown on this table.
Mrs. H. E. Hastings had charge of
the entertainment for evening. The
program was nicely rendered. The
persons taking part are to sing for the
first time this season on the grounds.
Mrs. Lynn w. Wilson and Miss Edin
Wilson spent the day with H. E. Tay-
lor at Oakland cottage.
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred w. Blood of
Lancaster and Mrs. George L. Lewis of
Fitchburg are at the Walker cottage
for a week.
