WHEN STAMPS WE'RE NEW.

POstmasters Had Trouble In Getting
People to stick Them on the En-
veIope.
From the Galveston Tribune.
when postage stamps first came in
to use" said a veteran postal clerk,
THE public didn't know how to handle
them. You remember how, when tea
and coffee first appeared among u.s.
the people fried the tea leaves and the
coffee berries, and served them with
salt and pepper? Well, the people
treated their stamps as absurdly in
1854.
Some folks would put the stamps in
side their letters, out of sight. Here
is the official notice that we issued to
stop that practice"
The clerk took from the drawer an
aged bulletin that said:
The stamps upon all letters and
packages must be affixed on the OUT
SIDE thereof and above the address
thereon"
He put back this bulletin and drew
forth another one.
People would pin the stamps on
lAelI iSllSIos lIlSlcdQ VI cumming IHeIli
he said, "and when they did gum
them, they would not do it right.
Hence this second bulletin" and he
read:
" Persons posting letters should af-
fix the requisite number of stamps
previous to depositing them in the let
ter receivers, as when posted in a
damp state the stamps are liable to
rub of and thereby cause the letters
to be treated as unpaid. Do not pin
on the stamps
Still" said the clerk, the public
didn't understand. Think of tit didn't
understand the simple matter of stick
ing postage stamp on a letter. SO
we got out third bulletin"
The third bulletin, in big, impatient
letters, said:
The simplest and most effectual
method of causing stamps to adhere
firmly is, first to moisten well the out
side of the stamps and afterward the
gummed side slightly, taking care not
to remove the gum"
The clerk said that a philatelist
had offered him S12 apiece for these
three queer bulletins.

ACCOUNT OF FIGHTING
ABOUT LAO YANG.
Russians Sometimes Threw stones
nj the Jnpanese.

ut the japanese.
Yentai, Sept. S.-(Delayed by the
censor until Sept. 5.)-A Russian cor
respondent OF the Associated Press,
who has just arrived here from Lao
Yang, gives some details of the final
assaults on that place. He says;
AT the time of the Japanese bonn
bardment of the railroad station the
arr7bulances were in the rear of the
station. from where it was impossible
20 move them. A shrapnel shell, which
burst over the station. wounded two
nurses, one of whom has since died.
The hottest fighting was on Aug.
80 and 81. when the repeated assaults
of the enemy were all repulsed.
The Thirty fourth and Thirty-fifth
Regiments of the ninth division, and
the Twenty-third Regiment of the
eastern division were particularly hard
pressed and were several times rein
forced. Ammunition could not be
brought quickly enough and the men
at times actually stoned their assail-
ants.
Many companies had all their off,
GERS killed or wounded, and the men
fought under non-commissioned Off
GERS.
Many of the Japanese wounded fell
into the Russian trenches and could not
possibly be removed when the retreat
commenced, and had to be abandoned.
Others, more unfortunate, fell between
the lines and we could not bring them
in. The japanese could not remove
them and they lay most of the day and
night exposed in the line of fire. Their
cries and groans, which were heart
rendering, could be distinctly heard.
Our skirmishers fell on many of them,
while pursuing the retreatng Japanese,
and when they could, gave water to
them, but had to leave them to be run
over by the succeeding waves of the
Japanese attacks.
There was a lull in the fighting on
Aug. 81. Gen Morozovsky, who was
on the firing line the whole time, sat
down with a Cossack picket in the
shelter of the trees for a cup of tea
and a biscuit. The Japanese artillery
suddenly swept the woods with their
fire and a shell burst, wounding the
general in the leg and tearing off his
orderly's arm"

From the New York Press.
Washington. Sept. S.-Cardinal Glib
hons, primate of the Roman Catholic
Church in America, is In a fair way to
lose the greater part OF his personal
fortune through the financial difficul-
ties that have overtaken Thomas wag-
gaman. treasurer of the Catholic Uni
versity OF America, since it's founda-
tion, fourteen years ago. Many other
Catholic clergymen and virtually every
Catholic institution in the District o.
Columbia, including many churches,
face the same prospect OF disaster.
Mr. Waggsman's financial difiicui-
ties are OF the most extensive order.
He has long been considered one OF
the wealthiest and responsible men

Baltimore. Md. Sept. Sin a state
ment to-day Cardinal Gibbons said he
did not feel any anxiety over the flu
ture of the Catholic University in
Washington nor does he fear that its
prosperity will be affected by the
bankruptcy Of Thomas E. Waggaman
of that city, who was the depositary
of large funds belonging to the uni
versltv.
Il shall do everything in my power
to assist the university said the car
dinal. MY interest in its success and
prosperity Is we'll known. There need
be no apprehension that the work of
the university will be impaired. There
will be no diminution of its work, stu
dents will be taken as usual. and the
courses will go on during the year pre-
cisely as If there had been no shrink
age In the Waggaman funds. There
is money belonging to the university
which was not in the hands of Mr..
Waggaman."

Little Rock, Sept additional re-
turns from to-day's election show that
Myers, Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, has probably carried La Fay
cite and Little River counties by small
pluralities.
Davis, Democrat, is running behind
in some of the towns and cities, but
is making large gains in the country
precincts.
John H. Page, secretary of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, esti-
mates that Gov. Davis plurality will
be $4,000. Chairman H. L. Remmell,
of the Republican State Central Com
mittee, claims Republican gains in a
number of precincts and if the same
ratio of increase continues, he express
es the belief that Myers, for Governor,
will have a small plurality.
The Legislature will be overwhem-
ingly Democratic.
