Fear Schooner Is Lost.

Grave fears for the safety of the three
masted Maine schooner Henry J. Smith
are felt in marine circles, as she has
been out from Baltimore more than three
weeks, and since she passed out of the
Chesapeake no tidings have been had Of
her. The Smith sailed from Baltimore
about February Is and is reported tt
nave passed Cape Henry February u.
Several severe gales swept the coast
soon after that date. and it Is thought
that the vessel may have foundered in
one OF them. There is a mere chance
however that she was blown off her
course and lost sails and may be working
back.
TIE Baltimore Maritime Exchange also
reports schooner. the Mary j. Smith. a
having passed Cape Henry a lew days
ago and as the marine register does not
contain the name of such a vessel it is
thought possible that she may be the
missing schooner. The Smith has aboard
1870 tons of soft coal and was bound
to Boston.

REACHES THE CENTURY MARK
WILLIAM COLEMAN ATTAINS
AGE OF 100 YEARS.
Although Blind, Colored Man Con-
tinues Custom of Decade, Daily
Selling Stars.

William Coleman. the blind colored man
who has been selling The Star at the
west entrance of the treasury Building
ft- the last twenty years, will celebrate
his one hundredth birthday anniversary
today. When he appeared at the counter
in the business office of the Star building
Yesterday afternoon to get his supply OF
papers he modestly mentioned his claim
to the distinction of reaching the century
mark in age.
When seen by Star reporter at his
home, Ala Liberty street northwest, last
evening, Coleman said there is not the
slightest doubt as to his age, because the
old family he was raised with in Virginia
had the record of his birth. and lie has
never forgotten the date-March II. 1908.
Except for total blindness. old James,
as he is commonly known, is in appar-
emily good physical condition. and judging
from appearances should live to break Il

"Old James," when asked to whS. he

NEW AUSTRIAN STAMPS.
Interesting Issue Which Marks the
Emperor's Jubilee.

Vienna Corr London Chronicle.
Not the least interesting event in con-
nection with Emperor Francis Joseph
jubilee is the issue of a series of new
stamps. These will not only be valu-
able addition to the collection of every
philatelist but will serve to remind the
world of the long reign of the emperor.
for every letter sent from his country In
future will bear either the portrait Of
the emperor or that of one of his ances-
tors.
Great care has been taken in the pro-
duction of these stamps. the assistance Of
eminent engravers, artists and chemists,
as well as the postal authorities, having
been reQuisitioned. A glance at the
eighteen new stamps which are on ex-
hib1tiOn show a great advance on those to
which the Austrian public has been &C.
customed. They are, indeed, masterpieces
OF the engraver's art. So elaborate is
the detail that a microscope Is necessary
to view it properly.
The stamps represent events in the
later epoch of Austrian history. Those
from to 20 hellers show the immediate
predecessor of the present monarch. The
next series is impressed with the port
partly in profile of the emperor himself
as he looked in 1913. when he assembled
the throne. Other series represent the
VhiPOAOA a. LUZ iSh6lh, SOuiC III d 6Cu-
erals uniform, others with the insignia
of the order of the Golden Fleece.
Two sets of stamps give views of the
entrance 70 the Schoenbrunn palace The
actual jubilee stamp, which is of the
value Of IS. i'd, bears the dates 1S48-19OS.
On this his majesty is represented full
face and at his present age. his por-
trait Is remarkably true to life. 1t may
be mentioned that the emperor never al
lows himself to be photographed or paint
ed full face. The portraits of his mai
estys predecessors are taken from the
family portrait gallery.
