, NEW STAMPS COMING.
The Present Series Has Been in Use
Twelve Years.

| The Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing has received Instructions from the
Postoffice Department to prepare de-
signs for an entire new series of post
age stamps.
| The question of a new series was dis
cussed following the death Of President
Mckinley. and it was thought that
when the new set was ordered the por-
trait of President Mckinley would
surely adorn one of the denominations.
The department, however. concluded to
place the portrait of the late President
upon a new postal card of unique de-
sign, and this removed him from the
| list.
| However. new face will appear that
OF President Harrison. on a new de-
nomination thirteen-cent stamp.
There will be practically no demand for
a stamp of this value for domestic use.
but for foreign use 13 cents represents
the cost of sending a registered letter
weighing not more than one-half ounce
to any country within the postal union.
Only one other change will be made.
Commodore Perry, whose face has
adorned the 90-cent value from 1870
down to 1894 and the 81 from 1894 to the
present date, will be superseded upon
the 81 denomination by another famous
sea fighter. Admiral Farragut. Com
modore Perry disappears permanently.
| The present full set is as follows:
1-cent, green, face of Franklin; 2-cent,
| carmine, face of Washington: Scent,
purple, face of Jackson; Accent, dark
brown, face of Lincoln; scent, choco-
| late faca of Ora MT e
face of Garfield; Scent, mauve. face of
Sherman; Decent. face of Webster: Is
! cent, dark blue, face of Clay: 5O-cent
orange, face of Jefferson; 81. black, face
of Perry; 81, sapphire face Of Madison:
S. dark green, face of Marshall
The present series of postage stamps
has been in continuous use for just u
years. which is much longer than the
life of the ordinary series. 1t is pro-
posed that everything in connection
with the series shall be new. New de-
signs for borders will be drawn, new
shades of color employed, and the new
stamps may be of different size and
shape. Under the portrait will be the
name of the subject with the date of
birth and death. The 10-cent special
delivery stamps will be slightly
changed in design, and the color will be
orange instead of blue
1t is interesting to note that since
1861 but two Presidents have not been
honored by placing their portrait upon
a postage stamp-Johnson and Arthur
Cleveland, still living, not being eligi-
Bile. 1t is not unlikely that when
another new design for postal card
shall be adopted-and these designs
change often-that President Mckinley
will take place upon postage
stamp. possibly superseding Sherman
on the eight or Webster on the 10-cent

AN OLD DOCTORS TIP.
Simple Rule That Helped Him to a
Lucrative Practice.

A physician Of long standing in this city
who has a practice that any Of his col
leagues might envy-and many in all
probability do, recently gave this advice
to a young doctor who was just starting
out in his profession. The older man is
a type of the kind of doctor that is said
to be going out of style-the family ply
stefan. Whether he is destined to disap-
pear or not. this kind of a physician FOL-
lowed a highly profitable kind Of career
while it lasted. Many young men used
to regard this sort Of a practice as that
to which they all aspired.
II have always made it a rule said
this experienced man of medicine ITO
close every visit to a patient with ques-
ton or a comment ON his or her phys.-
cal condition. 1t is all very well to dis
cuss various questions with ones pa
tents, talk about all kinds of subjects
and interest them in any way possible.
But the final remark must be connected
with the patients physical condition.
Tell him not to forget to take certain
medicine regularly. or tell her that you
have never had a case that was just like
hers-but in all cases talk last about the
illness ofNth person you have come to
see. | learned that when / was a young
man from the most popular physician of

Though Easter is but three weeks
off eggs are bringing 80 cents dozen
i'm this city. One dealer said, yesterday
that he didn't believe the price would
drop very soon. Maine eggs are being
shipped out of the State and the hens
are not laying freely. are the reasons
given for the unusually high price
asked for them In the big cities Of
the coast California eggs are being
used. The middle Western hen refuses
to lay. Every hen from the Ohio river
to Lake Superior and from the Alle-
ehanies to the Platte is sulking in her

arguments in the way of patent. quick

We have demands for many so-called

We handle all kinds of remedies that

cause we are druggists, and it is our
business to supply the public with that
which they want.
When our advice is asked, however. as
to tonic and rebuilder, strength creator

recommend Vinol. We do this because
we know ali about Vinol. We know all
that it contains. We have sold enormous
quantities of it, and we have had eyery

suits that have been accomplished by the
use of this wonderful RECONSTRUCTION.
If you have not yet had occasion to use

Vinol contains all the curative princi-

are found in cod liver oil. 1t does not
contain, however, any of the obnox-

to what otherwise would have been a

Vinol. |, therefore, am not in a position

action. but this one bottle has convinced
~ that NinOl is q marvellous tonic
While i'll this winter with grippe, a

NO ONE ACCUSED
By Coroner's Jury in Latimer
Case at New York.
Private Detective Was Hired by lati-
mer to Secure Evidence
Against Mrs. Latimer, TuthiIl Being
the Man Watched.

New York, July 23.-Harry J. Parker,
an insurance adjuster. who worked
also as a private detective. was the
first witness, today, in the coroner's
investigating of the Shooting OF Albert
c. Latimer. Parker testified that on
May l this year, Latimer employed him
to get evidence against his wife for
unfaithfulness with man whose name
was given by Mr.. Latimer as Tuthill.
Mr.. Parker said:
"On May of this year I went with
Mr.. Latimer to Tuthilrs residence on
Vanderbilt avenue. and there l was
told by Mr.. Latimer that it was Tut
hills house and l was to keep n watch
on it, and report Tuthilrs movements
to him. On May 4 l saw Tuthil go
to Latimer's house at about $50 or
6 o'clock. Latimer was accustomed to
reach home as late as $50 o'clock or
Z O'clock
Parker testified that.on one occasion
Tuthill went to see Mrs. Latimer at
her home and remained there until the
middle of the afternoon. Before Par
ker left the stand District Attorney
Clarke made the following statement:
I have had no conversation with
this witness, but / understand that he
can testify that the deceased told him
in case of his death he would know
who killed him, mentioning the names
of two persons. Now this is hearsay
and not admissible under the laws OF
evidence. 1t seems to me that If this
declaration is to be introduced now
it would be illegal, censurable and
cruel-so far as am concerned l don't
purpose asking this man to make that
declaration.
Mary Fitzgerald, a servant employed
in a house near the Latimer home, said
that after the shooting she saw man
she thought was Latimer, go to a Win
dow and call for help. This witness
also testified that about the time the
police arrived she saw man on the
roof of the Latimer house.
The case was then given to the jury,
which brought in a verdict declaring
that Latimer was killed by pistol
shot wound No accusation against
anyone was made by the jury.
