VALUABLE STAMP.

Philadelphia Times: In the year 1881 a
tW~elve-penny black Canadian postage
stamp was printed by the government at
Ottawa. The public did not regard this
somber issue with favor, so few were is
sued.
One of these stamps was sent to the
Hamilton postofice. where it was sold to
an old gentleman, who said it was a shame
to PRINT the queens picture on a stamp
that might be handled by profane hands.
Tenderly the gentleman put it on a parcel.

that what he had paid S. for was worth

Accidentally t''~ stamp was slipped
INTO a twenty-five cent packet, and sent
to a dealer residing in Hamilton. When
the latter opened the packet he was as

U%NREQUlTED LOVE.
TWO ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE ON AC.
COUNT OF FAITHLESS LOVERS.

Two would-be suicides came under the
observation of the police last night. Both
were Mercury street women. The timely
application Of a stomach pump saved one
and with the other the drug failed to do
it's work. The latter case is that of
Bla nche Stone, whose resort is at No. A
East Mercury. Like most Of the women
of her class Blanche has a lover. He has
been dong a sort of a messenger boy
BUSINESS for other women of the row, un-
til a short time ago when Blanche secur-
ed for him a position as a bartender. Be-
fore he went to work Blanche furnished
him with a new suit of fashionable CLOTH
ing with ~haberdashery to match, and the
rev clothes and the job proved too much
for the lover, and he refused to have any
thing more to do with his mistress. In a
fit of dependency resultant from this
treatment Blanche emptied the contents
of a bottle of chloroform on her pill
low and laid down to seek the sleep tina
knows no wakenLng. The chloroform put
her to sleep, but Blanche's vitality proved
too much for the drug and after a long,
deep slumher she awoke with a resolve
that she would not die, but would live to
get even with her faithless lover.
Laura Hood IS the name Of the other
girl who wanted to die. Her lover left her
a few nights ago, taking with hin 5000 of
her money, nearly all she possessed. She
swallowed a dose of poison of some kind
last night, and told some one what she
had lone before the drug had time TO
take effect. A doctor was summoned and
vigorous work with a stomach pump saw
ed her.

Secretary Henry Sturmey of the In
ternational Cyclists Association. has
issued a circular letter to all the riders
in Europe announcing the Worlds meet
at Montreal, the l.. a. w. National
Meet at Boston. and the l.. a. w. Ma
tional Circuit before and after the great
meet.
Several wheelmen, members of the
l.. A. W.. have been making tests of
the saving in hotel bills they have re-
ccived through their l.. \. w. MEM
berships. The sums vary from 1915 to
S29l0. AS the cost of l.. \. w. mem.
bership is only 81 year, it is evident
that they are "ahead of the game"
The Maine division of the l.. y. w. is
going after township authorities who
do not comply with the State law which
requires them to place sign boards at
all crossroads. Every local consul in
the State has been requested to send
in list of the roads not so marked
and the division will prosecute the Of
tenders.
Several wealthy and influential cit
liens of Philadelphia have established
guarantee fund for conducting races
at Tfoga track. under the auspices of
the League of American Wheelmcn.
This Is due to the action of Woodside
Park in conducting unsanctioned
events. AS one of the contributors to
this fund puts it. I'VE are a peaceable
people over here, but we don't like to
have fight thrust upon us"
Last week the League of American
Wheelmen made a net gain of l.49i in
its membership. AS has been said be-
fore the spring months are those in
which the greatest number of MEM
berships expire. and there is always =
decrease in membership at that time
in consequence. But the members are
allowed sixty days in which to renew.
and for time there is apparently a
large loss To the org1ni2a ton. They
return in large numbers however, dur
ing the time allowed. and last week
was the first in which the turning tide
OF membership was felt. The renewals
OF memberships and the new applica-
tons, If only equal to those of las;
year, will soon bring the League many
thousands more members than the
rolls now show.
The Transportation Committee of the
l.. ~ W. is in receipt of scores of let
ters from wheelmen contemplating GO
ing to the National Meet at Boston re-
garding railroad rates. They do not
seem to realize that there is a fiat one
iare rate for the round trip from all
parts of the United States, and that
