last evening. The thousands of spectators went
away, disappointed with Erne's showing, altho
he was giving away several pounds In weight

bad points, and failed to give Briggs the credit
that was due him. Jimmy kept boring into
Erne, but the latter escaped many Of his leads
and going to a clinch would smilingly take
couple Of right-hand punches on his ribs. While
Briggs was unable to do much when he led, he

curious feature of these stamps is that
a prayer in Latin, offering, thanks to,
God for blessings, is printed on the
back of each stamp.
One of the most beautiful stamps to
be found in the album of any :collec-
tor is the fve-drachma Of the Island OF
Crete, picturing vividly the fight be-
tween st. George and the dragon. Va
rious types of crosses are common
on stamps of Europe and South Amer
lea. Portugal issued a stamp for the
Red Cross society," It was black
stamp with a red cross on a white
shield. All the early stamps of Switz-
erland carried white cross on red
shield as the central figure. On the
Venezuelan stamp, concentrating the
discovery of the mainland of South
America, the cross has a prominent
place, and it also appears on the stamp
issued to commemorate the discovery
of Brazil. The cross is found, too
on the stamps of British Africa, with
the inscription: "Light in darkness. -
This serves to interpret the central
design, which consists Of black shield
representing darkness, into which a
wedge of gold standing for ''light, .
| is driving. Above both is a cross, in
| silver, Indicating the source Of the
light. The maltese cross, the badge
of the knights Of Malta, is found or

YALE HOPES FOR
ANOTHER GOOD TEAM
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
New Haven Conn. Jan. 2-The outlook for
another championship baseball team at Yale next
spring is very encouraging. There is wealth
of new material and most all of the old players
are still in college. Walter Camp will be gen.
eral adviser Of the team, but the field coaching
will be done by Billy Lush, the former Cleve-
land player. who coached last years nine.
Harvard's action In declaring Coburn eligible
has been watched with interest by two Yale
stars who have been regarded ineligible. They
are Barnes, center fielder, and Don Mackay
pitcher of two seasons ago. Barnes has been
regarded ineligible because he played one game
four years ago against the Bridgeport team OF
the Connecticut league.

IA ton, it is notable that since
the foundation of our postal system
there has not appeared upon any of our
regular postage stamps single SYM
Dol Of religious character, except the
figure of Father Marquette, as teach
or of the Indians, which was depicted
on the one-cent stamp of the Omaha
fair series of 1898. On the other hand
the stamps of Abyssinia all portray
the cross.
Many of the most beautiful stamps of
the world have as their central figure
some religious scene or symbol. The
little island Of Malta, now a British
possession, upon which the Apostle Paul
was shipwrecked-the island then being
known as Molita-recently issued an
lartistically executed series of stamps
portraying the experiences Of the apos-
tie. The stamp of the ten shilings de-
nomination-as large in size as two of
our current stamps-pictures the attack
of the asp upon st. Paul. In the dis
lance may be seen the wrecked ship;
fire by the seashore is so clearly
brought out that the sticks forming the
bonfire may be distinctly seen; the
snake is raising it's head; the apostle
stands with his arms outstretched to-
ward heaven; all these features are ex-
pressed by the engraver with great
clearnesS.
Perhaps the most deliberately worked
out conception of a religious nature
upon postage stamps was developed
by Portugal. A special series was
issued to commemorate the Tooth an
niversary Of the birth of st. Anthony
Of Padua. That of the lowest demon
nation, Of value of about one-third
Of a cent, represents st. Anthony's Wis
ion, the child Jesus appearing in the
clouds and the saint kneeling with out
stretched arms The second design
which is used for five values of stamps,
represents the miracle Of the fishes. The
story runs that the saint was once III
the town of Arimini, where there were
many heretics. Desiring to convert
them st. Anthony exhorted them to
turn to God, but they stopped their
ears and turned away. In disgust the
apostle went to the seashore, where he
called upon the fish to come and heal
him. Immediately thousands of deni
zenS OF the deep, IN all sizes, IRON
whales to minnows appeared, listening
while he preached the sermon prepared
for the conversion Of the unbelievers
According to the legend, few heretic'
who had witnessed the miracle, carried
the news to town and all it's people
were converted. The stamp depicts St
Anthony, in ministerial garb, on tn
shore facing the sea, and innumerabl
fish with their heads protruding from
the water.
A third design shows the saint as
cending into heaven, accompanied by al
angel on each side. The fourth desigl
