SALE OF NEW STAMPS ENDS.

Washington, d. O., Dec. 1.-The
Postoffice Department hassordered that
the sale of the special issue of Louis
lana Purchase Exposition stamps shall
be discontinued throughout the coun-
try today, in accordance with the orig
inal plan. Beginning with the Chi
eago worlds fair in 1898 the govern
ment has issued four sets of these
commemorative stamps in compliance
with the requests of the managers Of
the expositions held at Omaha, Buffalo
and st. Louis. 1t is probable, how
ever, that the custom has now come
TO an end. The elaborate designs of
the special issues snecessitates stamp
Of twice the ordinary size and this
has given rise to general complaint
from business men throughout the
country who find that the large stamps
entail considerable extra trouble in
their use. Postmasters also complain
of the stamps because of the large size
Of the sheets they are obliged to ham
die. For these reasons it is likely that
the expositions of the future will meet
with a rebuff when they ask for special
issues of stamps to advertise their
shows.

Grand Offices of The K. of P. Are
Entertained.

One of the most pleasant events in
the history of the local commandery
of the knights of Pythias was the re-
ception last evening which was ten
dered the visiting grand officers of
the order. Being the annual vista
tion of the officers, the affair was par
ticularly well arranged and carried
out.
At the conclusion of the regular ses-
sion of the oommandery the visiting
members and the local members pro-
ceeded to Boucher's for the ratifica-
tion of treaty which had followed a
protocol touching on good times. That
the ratification was a huge success
goes without saying. The oyster bake
which was given in honor of the visit
ing officers, was prepared with con,
summate skill and reflected great
credit on those who had the affair in
charge.
The visiting officers are Messrs. s.
W. Tattersall, J. e. Richardson, Lewis

Improve Coast Defense

Two improvements in the national
coast defense scheme are Immediately
necessary, says Chief of Artillery
General J. z. Story, in his annual re-
port. These are the completion of the
torpedo defences of the harbors, with
"A trained personnel to operate them,
and the installation at all the coast
batteries of approved range and posi-.
tion finding equipment. thereby Civ
ing the guns an accurate range of six
miles, instead of two miles, as at
present. General Story calls attention
to the lessons learned at Port Arthur
and Valdivostok. where harbors ade-
quately mined and with torpedoes pro-
tected by guns so that they could not
be countermined proved impregnable
against the japanese.

OF INCENDIARY ORIGIN.
This Mornings Fire Thought Not
To Be Due To Accident

In an early fire which attracted a
large proportion of the residents of the
city at ?. 10 O'Clock this morning dis.
ooveries were made which lead to the
belief that the blaze was Of ineendiary
origin. Circumstantial evidence which
has 20 do with the store wherein the
lire was discovered point plainly TO
this solution of its origin.
The nre was In the grocery store of
Joseph Russell at the corner of Col.
lege avenue and Hanover street and it
was through its prompt discovery and
the speedy arrival Of the firemen that
great damage was not done.
When the firemen reached the fire
it was found necessary to break in the
front doors and pour a heavy stream
OF water into the seat of the fire.
which was in the very center of the
small store. The flames had eaten a
large portion of the shelving aud
burst through the ceiling inIo the
apartments overhead occupied by the
family of Simon Kimball.
The flames were speedily subdued
after which it was found the building
and contents had been damaged to the
extent of about 5000. The theory was
advanced that the fire might have
been started by rats either knawing
or upsetting box of matches. Fur.
ther Investigation. however, has
created the suspicion that thieves had
forced their way into the store by way
of the cellar and an outside door and
dropped match in some paper.
Twice within the last four days the
store has been broken into. On the
first occasion the till was tapped and
- secured. The next day the store
was again entered by means of the
cellar and large amount of groceries
taken. 1t has been foand who the
culprits are and warrants have been
issued for their arrest.

RUDOLPH KAISER RESIGNS.
Relinquishes Position of Caretaker
AT Mansion.

After twenty-five years service in

messed the coming and going Of many
governors Mr.. Rudolph Kaiser has re-
signed the position of caretaker of the
Governors Mansion. Yesterday mark
ed the last day Of service in that posi-.
tion and today the Governor will re-
ceive his resignation.
; The resignation of Mr.. Kaiser is en-.
tirely voluntary and the step was
taken only after mature elaboration
on his part. One of the principal rea-
sons which prompted him to take the
step was the fact that his private
florist business had grown TO such
proportions that it became a ques.
tion of yielding up either the business
or his position.
de decided TO resign and has notified
Governor Warfield of his intention.
His successor has not, as yet, been
chosen. One well--known man has
been rendered the position. but no did
not care Go accept. As the position is
very important one and is of very
responsible nature, it is expected that
an appointment will be made shortly.
Mr.. Kaiser was appointed by Gov.
ernor Hamilton and started TO work
on his duties December 2. 1882. Dur
ing that time he has not once been
disturbed by any administration and
has been frequently complimented by
several of the governors for the pains
taking effort he has displayed in car
ing for the state property.
In the curtailment of expenses as
advocated by this administration there
has been considerable of a cutting
down of the force with which Mr.
Kaiser was enabled to perform his
duties and this placed upon him many
burdens which increased his work
greatly.

tainty that there will be no race for

rules and regulations governing the
races require that the challenging
club shall give ten months notice in
writing and as it is the general un-
derstanding that the races should be
sailed in August or September it is
now too late for a challenge to be re
ceived for a contest in 1905. Nothing
authoritative has been heard from
Sir Thomas Upton, but those we'll
acquainted with the character and

belief that he has merely postponed
but not abandoned his attempt to Sc
cure the coveted trophy.
