REFUSE TO ADMIT
VETERANS WHO
CARRIED ARMS

WASHINGTON, June s. One
hundred armed Confederate veterans
from Tennessee, carrying the stars
and bars. were today denied admis-
sion to the United States capitol un-
til after they had lowered their flag
and disarmed. The old soldiers
came to Washington from the Rich
mond reunion, and after visiting the
White House marched down Pennsyl-
vania avenue to the capitol The cap
itol police informed them that they
would be allowed admission to the
capitol only as private citizens and
not as an organized body. Chairman
John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee,
who accompanied the veterans, en-
tered protest.
The police insisted, however, that
the veterans must break rank and
disarm before entering the building.
Finally this was done, and the old
soldiers were shown through the
building The delegation was COM
posed of Company A of Memphis and
Company B and Cavalry Troop B of
Nashville

RESIGNATION OF
TWO PROMINENT
GERMAN OFFICERS

BERLIN, June 5.=Prince Philip
Gutenberg, the great favorite of EN-
peror William and formerly German
ambassador at Vienna and Governor
General Won Hohelnu have resigned,
according to an announcement made
yesterday afternoon. Prince Eulen-
berg has been known for his brilliant
social and literary gifts and had been
carried on the foreign office list since
he left the embassy at the Austrian
capital in 1902, with the salary of an
ambassador, waiting for an appoint
ment. This, it was always under
stood, was by his own choice, as he
preferred to enjoy position at court
rather than take new post.
Both retirements, the newspapers
aver, are connected with the aecusa-
tions against court officials recently
published in the Sukenet, weekly
publication edited by Macmillan
Harden. The paper alleges that a
''round table" at court was endeavor-
ing to influence the emperor's politi-
cal actions, and it was further
claimed that the members of this
.'round table" were associated in dis
creditable acts and believed in spirit
ualism.

STAMPS OF GREAT WORTH.
Among Rarest Are Those of the
Southern ConfedePacy.

Among the rarest of postage
stamps are the homely Confederate
issues used on letters transported
through the South in the early days
of the Civil war; says the Washington
Post. Nearly every one of them is
unpleasing to the eye, yet they are
treasured specimens in the collec-
lions of those fortunate enough to
possess them.
At the beginning of the war no
regular Confederate stamps were on
hand, and the postmasters were au-
lhorized to receive money in pay
Inent for the postage on letters to be
forwarded. Small change was
scarce, and in order to facilitate mat
tiers postmasters issued local stamps
of their own design and sold them to
patrons, a number at a time.
These stamps could thereafter be
presented to the postmaster in pay
ment of postage
Confederate provisional stamps
and envelopes include 14A different
varieties, and the majority are held
at very high premium. OF many
varieties, not more than one speci-
men is known, although it is not at
all improbable that other specimens
of some of these rarities are now
resting ON old wartime letters slowed
away and forgotten.
So scarce are stamps and SO rarely
do they come up for sale that the
standard catalogues do not mention
the prices at which they are held.
When a specimen does come to light,
it usually changes hands at private
sale, and thus not even expert col
lectors are always aware of the APP
proximate value of rare issues.

HOPE AND WORK FOR THE OLD.

But why, you ask me, shall this tale
be told
To men grown old, or who are grow
ing old?
1t is too late! All! nothing is too
late
Till the tired heart shall cease to pal
pitate.
Cato learned Greek at eighty; SophO-
cleS
Wrote his grand 'Oedipus,' and Sim
OXIDES
Bore off the prize of verse from his
compeers
When each had numbered more than
fourscore years;
And Theophrates at fourscore and
Had just begun his Characters OF
Men;
Chaucer, at Woodstock with his
nightingales,
At sixty wrote the Canterbury Tales;
Goethe at Weimat. toiling to the last,
Completed Faust when eighty years
were past.
These are, indeed, exceptions, but
show
How far the gulf stream of our you'll
may flow
| Into the Arctic regions of our lives
| When little else than life itself sur
wives.
Shall we, then idly sit us down ant
say
The night hath come; it is nc
longer day?
The night hath not yet come, we are
not quite
Cut off from labor by the failing
light.
Something remains for us to do OIL
dare;
Even the oldest tree some fruit may
bear;
For age is opportunity no less
Than youth, though in another dress;
And as the evening twilight fades
away
The sky is filled with stars invisible
by day."

UNCLE JOE ON HIMSELF.
Two Autobiographical Sketches For
Which He Is Responsible.

Speaker Cannon's autobiography in
the Congressional Directory takes up
only eight lines. There are not few
members who fill nearly an entire
page with the sketches. OF course
they are not the speaker, and are not
likely to be. So, according to the
Village, they have to tell who they
are.
All the sketches of the members
are written by themselves, and they
generally reflect the character of the
author. ''Uncle Joe's'' surely does.
All he has to say of himself is this:
Joseph G. Cannon, republican, of
Danville, was born at Guilford, N. c.,
May Z, 1886; is a lawyer; was state s
attorney in Illinois, March, 1861, to
December, 1868, was elected to the
Forty-third, Forty-fourth, Forty-fifth,
f'orty-sixth, Forty-seventh, Forty
eighth, Forty-ninth, Fiftieth, Fifty
first, Fifty-third, Fifty-fourth, Fifty
sixth, Fifty-seventh and Fifty-eighth
congresses, and reelected to the
Fifty-ninth congress, receiving 3d.
92O votes to 15,167 for'-(then fol-
lows a list of the other candi6dtes) 4,
was elected speaker in the Fifty
eighth and Fifty-ninth congresses. Fl"
On another occasion Speaker Can
non was asked for an authentic auto
biography of himself, and this is
what he said:
"Mr. Cannon was born of God
fearing and man-loving parents. He
made himself, and he did darn poor
job of it,
