GOVERNMENT IS oUTB|DDEN
American Bank Note Company Makes
a Bargain Price on the Printing
of Postage Stamps.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The Unit
ed States government will probably
lose its own contract to furnish post
age stamps which it has held for IL
years.
Bids from the American Bank Note
Co, New York were much lower for
all kinds of stamps.
If awarded to the New oYrk concern
1t means the loss of employment to
hundreds in the government service.
It is said the private concern can get
labor much cheaper than the scale
paid by the government

CUTS OFF THE NEWSPAPERS
Chairman Knapp Rules That Railroad
Advertising Cannot be Exchanged
for Transportation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Advertis-

portation any more than potatoes or
calico.
This opinion is expressed by Chair
man Knapp of the commerce commits
sion, in a letter to the secretary of
the Massachusetts Press association,
who inquired as to the application of
the new rate bill to advertising con-
tracts.
Knapp writes that all tariffs filed
in compliance with the law names the
rates in dollars and cents. In no case
does it provide that transportation
can be paid for with property.

WILL TAKE ISSUE INTO COURT.
City Treasurer Refuses TO Loan Lewis
ton Money.

Lewiston, March 29.-Stating that
he was guided by the advice of his
attorney, City Treasurer Thompson in
formed the council last night that he
could not comply with the order of
the latter relative to placing on de-
post in the First National bank the
sum of $4,000. This step means that
the validity of the depository ordi-
nance providing for the deposit of the
city monies in banks on an interest
bearing basis will be tested in the
courts.
4 short time ago, complying with
the terms of the ordinance, the First
National bank filed bond of $4,000
which entitled the institution to a de-
post of $4,000, bearing per cent in
terest. The council then made the or
der directing that the treasurer make
the deposit of $4,000. Mr.. Thompson
asked until last night to consider the
matter and he appeared and stated
that he had been informed he was thu
legal custodian of the funds and that
he could not place the money out OF
his hands; that he wanted to do wha,
was right and that he was acting In
good faith. The mayor stated that
City Attorney Cox had investigated
the validity Of the ordinance.

ARMY PROMOTIONS BLOCKED.
Due to Charges Preferred Against {
Lieutenant. a...t,

Washington, March 29.-Nany sec.
ond lieutenants of the army are great
ly disturbed over the fact that they
cannot be promoted. No officer Of
that grade of the infantry arm has
been advanced since last September.
This is on account of charges pend
ing against Lieutenant V. w. Boiler,
of the Goth infantry. These charges
reached the war department, and al
though Boiler had been nominated for
promotion, the senate military COM
mittee has asked for further inform
alton concerning him, with the result
that the court of inquiry has been de-
tailed, and it will be several weeks
IL not months, before the situation is
relieved for the subalterns of infantry.
In the mean time Lieutenant Boiler
insists that he shall have the presence
of a long list of officers whose tes-
timony he regards as necessary in es-
tablishing his fitness for promotion
The summoning of these officers be.
fore the court of inquiry would mean
loss OF much time in travel. to say
nothing of the expense of mileage and
the annoyance due to absenteeism
The war department Is inclined tc
think that Lieutenant Boiler should
depend on depOsitions to acquire the
information, all of which is far from
cheerful news for juniors he has
blocked in advancement.

A Simple Sign

1t was at the EAST END GROCERY
That she saw a simple sign,
And she stopped and slowly read 1t
While her blue eyes seemed to shine.
Then with scornful lips she mur-
INJURED,
AS she tossed her pretty hat,
How 1 wish that men were labeled
With a good, plain sign, like that"
So when she passed, I ventured
Near the EAST END GROCER'S shop
And espied this simple legend:
"This CORN warranted to Pop"
And then the EAST END GROCER,
Smiling sweetly did appear,
And he kindly bade me enter.
Saying: "See what we have here"
And as my eyes gazed eagerly,
I soon saw the CRESCENT" sign,
And found what 1 was looking for.
The Famous "99."
A finer line of groceries,
never before had seen;
All the CRESCENT BRAND was rep
resented,
From Coffees down to Mapleine.
There allowed my eyes to feast,
With wonder and delight,
And I bought a goodly order,
Before going home that night.

Our Majestic Pension Roll.

The annual pension appropriation
bill, which has passed the house, was
presented by Mr.. Gardner of Michi-
gan, in a speech full of suggestive in
formation. The bill appropriate $780,
100000, which makes 1t the second
of the great appropriation bills, the
postoffice bill being first.
The civil war was estimated to have
cost about six billion dollars, and Mr..
Gardner predicts that before the ac-
counts are closed we shall have paid
an amount equal to the first cost in
pensions.
Already we have spent $3,222,414,
SIS on that account. There are now
more Spanish war veterans on the
pension roll than the entire number
of Skaters army in Cuba. In that
whole war there were 69S deaths
from, wounds, 6510 from all causes
including disease, and 1878 casualties
of every description.
There have already been filed So
6S7 applications for pensions on ac-
count of that wa-more than two
thirds as many as were filed in the
same length of time after the civil
war, in which over seven times as
many men fought Is times as long
with the loss of over so times as many
lives-and it is estimated that in 26
years from now the number of Span
ish war pensioners will exceed $4,000
| or about four times the number oi
men that ever heard Spanish bullet
At that time we may expect to have
all told about half million pension
ers, even if we have no more wars IL
the interval. Foreign critics who ac'
cuse us of bellicose designs do no
realize how heavily we are bonded tC
Keep the peace.-Collier's.
