There is quietude in the region Of Four
teenth street and Irving place. The wave
Of talk that for month whizzed through
Luchow's, extended as far east as Webers
and even broke against tho legs Of the
Philosopher Tisch at Fleischmann's, Is
stilled. 'Gussel" Won Seyffertitz has been
reengaged for the company of the Irving
Place Theater and on his own terms.
He is to have the stage management,
will be regisseur and setter in scene OF all
the principal productions, and moreover
will get the credit for it on the programs.

Herr Direktor Conried sailed for Europe
the other day. His steamer left early in the
morning. At noon a messenger fell ex-
hausted on the steps at L1chow's.
Revived with a glass Of Malvern, he was
able to struggle to table. It appeared:
when he had recovered from the effects of
the long run to the restaurant from the
Christopher street pier, that he was on the

to France was compelled to take notice Of
it and he officially declared that the allega-
ions against Mouchon We're groundless.
Then Mouchon, the designer, rushed into
print and with igurative tears streaming
down his checks declared his innocence
and even went so far as TO say that he would
not accept the decoration bestowed upon
him by the Servian Government in con-
sidernton Of the beautiful design he had
produced, until his honor had been vndi-
Gated.
The great weakness of philatelsts is for
suppressed or withdrawn ISSUES of stamps,
and the moment it became rumored that
the S rvian Government was having trouble
with the death mask stamps and was seeking
to repurchase them, the demand for them
assumed the proportions Of stampede.
Collectors. who had up to this time remained
iIdiff trent, we're crazy to have this series
of stamps.
Dealers in this country were swamped
with orders for them and some enterprsinG
collectors even te,egraphed for them. OF
course the price advanced, but this made no
appreoiable differences; any price was
satisfactory: the main thing was to get the
stamps.
OF course, dealers stocks we're exhausted
in no time. but in the end everybc dy appear M

for death masks is not so fierce, Philat :

The fact that dealers who sold out in a
few days were able to send to Europe and

condemned stamps in large quantities
caused some collectors to raise, the query
why the Servian Government did not
absorb the mill ions of stamps held by
spectators which were being sold at only
a slight advance over face value TO dealers.
At any rate, as result of the interesting
campaign carried on vast numbers Of these
