LINCOLN ON
 STAMP ISSUES

The following interesting information has been submitted by R. B. Field of Stratford:
 To the Editor of the Farmer. Sir:- Abraham Lincoln was a man thirty eight years of age when the first United States postage stamps were is- sued.
 Little did he think in those early days. or indeed when President-so modest was he-that the United States government would one day-to-morrow tissue 100 900 900 stamps to commem- orate the one hundredth anniversary of his birth. The stamp two cent. red. will be issued to all presidential post offices.
 Lincoln's portrait first appeared on the I5c issue of August 18th. 18ss At that time a new value. The neyt stamp to bear Lincoln's head was the 1889 an altogether new series and one of the finest ever put out bv the departmnnt Again on the 6c of 1870. and on the Sc values in the stamp issued by the War. Navy, State i&c.. departments.
 Tn 1920 his head appears on the 4c, and in 1892 on the sc.

Of the scene at the second inaugural Of Lincoln. It had been raining and the ceremonies had been begun in the senate chamber. But there was an lnter1nission of the storm and the as- semblage moved to the East porch of the Capitol, where a great concourse had gathered. MT. Lincoln's speech 1t came as a relief to the entire coun- try. filled as 1t was with frmness tinc- .tured with a broad spirit of love and charity. Just as the concluding words were uttered the clouds broke away, and beam of brilliant light shot doWn and rested upon the President. as II it were a prophecy of peace and good will.
 Here was Lincoln in the greatest hour of his earthly glory. Much diff ferent was the next scene when MT. laid low by the bullet of the actor, Booth. His body had been borne in solemn triumph, from city to city, to De greeted as no mortal remains ever beIore had been greeted, for the coun- try was not the thinly populated terri tory that it had been in the day of Washington.
 In due course the funeral car reach ed New York and the remains were laid in state in City Hall. There MT. smith took his last view of Lincoln.
 He said, yesterday, 'It seemed to me that his face bore an expression of contentment and perfect peace, as of one who had been released from a weary work to comfortable rest. There was to be perceived no trace of the sufferings he had endured"
 MT. Smith was postmaster under Lincoln's administration.

SPEAKERS BEFORE
 BOARD OF TRADE

At the meeting of the Bridgeport
 Board of Trade last night communi- cation was received from the Boston
 Merchants Association urging the To- cal board to take action towards the
 preservation of the forests and high
 water sheds of the White Mounta ns and also urging the members of the
 board to send letters to their repre- sentative in Congress to see to it that a bill to that effect shall go before the
 House.

 President Enos explained to the board that Gen. Henry A. Bishop would be unable to be present during the evening. He then introduced Charles W. Beck. vice-president and manager of the Acetylene Lamp Go. of this city. MT. Beck's subject was on Carbide Feed Generators For Auto- mobile Headlights The speaker ex- plained that his. company had made over 30.000 house lights but they found that the sales were not coming in fast enough. so they turned their attention to auto lights. He explained how the old style was feeding the water to the carbide but that in their new lights the carbide was fed to the water. MT. Beck had one of the new generators with him and explained to his hearers how the apparatus was operated. Mir. Beck proved to be very instructive speaker.
 w. A. Archer spoke on an improved form of transmission for automobiles. He told how rev transmitter which he was about to patent would do away with clutches. gears and differentials. The speakers object was to get busi- na ass men interested in his new fnven- tions. which in all probability will form a basis for a new industry. MT. Archer had prints with him showing the new and at what cheaper prices the machine could be manufac- tured. His idea was to get out a car at a popular price. thus ensuing ready salees at 8 substantial profit. Pres dent Enos told the members of the board that Manager Griswold of the Stratfield Hotel had also disappointed them,

senator Manwaring of this city in- iroduced the public utilities measure into the Senate yesterday after he had ssc4rf ained that-th bill had not prev iously been offered. It was stated yes- terday in this newspaper that Senator Tenn introduced the bill. This in- for nation was based upon what Sena- tor sF,enn himself said. Subsequently,, however. it appears that Senator F'enn gave the bill to . member of the House for the purpose of having the bill go Into that body. Having ascertained that the bill was not to be offered in the Senate, Senator Manwaring got busy and securing a copy of the meas ure advocated by the special commis- sion raised by the legislature of two years ago introduced 1t himself.
