The postofilce department museum

by far Its most interesting feature. ac-

the stamp collection. Few visitors
miss that sight. and many "hobbyists'

Uncle Sam as IL stamp collector is
most signal success. He not only has
a complete set of his own stamps. but

world us we'll His collection Is val
ued by the department at 100000.
but stamp dealers say 1t would de-
mand a figure many times that sum II
placed on the open market for sale.
The fact that Uncle Sans stamp
collection IL absolutely complete is
statement difficult to comprehend. even
to those who have been collectors
themselves. Most OF those who wcrc
collectors In years gone by will re-
member how many empty places there
were In their albums when they glo-
ried In the possession OF 1900 and
1000 specimens. They will recall how
many new varieties above the 1000
mark cost from SIS to $50 each; also
the small fortunes placed on some OF
the specially rare specimens, the kind
which the dealers catalogues related
had been printed only to the number
of 100 or SO and but six or seven were
known to be in existence.
Well. Uncle Sans stamp collection
possesses all of these besides the thou
sands of common kinds. Although 1t
has taken hard work. many years and
a tidy fortune to do It. the collection
today stands absolutely complete. The

less are eagerly devouring press dispai-
ohes relative to the shaking up that is
being given the head officials of tbe
company by federal authorities.
Wireless station equipment has
been shipped into Seattle from Walla
Walla and other points and the stat
ions abandoned. 1t is said millions Of
dollars have been filched from the
public by unscrupulous stockselling
manipulators.
George H. Parker. the western fs-
cal agent Of the company for territory
west of the Mississippi. was arrest
ed Monday in Seattle on q federal war
rant charging the use Of the mails to
defraud. Parker was released under
$4,000 bonds.
The preliminary hearing was set for
August /. The warrant upon which
Parker was arrested was besed On a
letter written to B. B. Shepperd, Of
Des Moines Ia. Apfil8, an which Par
ker, 1t is alleged. misrepresented the
affairs Of the company for the purpose
of selling stock.
The arrest was made by two post
Office inspectors and United States
marshal. Parker was taken complete
ly by surprise, and had difficulty in
finding his attorney. He was taken
before United States Commissioner
Totten, who fixed the bond at 1000.
Parker's attorney protested the the
amount was too high. but United
States District attorney Todd insisted
that it was the proper amount, calling
attention to the fact that this was the
minimum bail allowed in similar ar
rests recently made in New York.
Owing to the lateness Of the hour,
Parker was unable to find any of his
friends down town and after some de-
lay offered to put up certificate Of de-
posit issued by local bank for the am
cunt of the bond. Commissioner Tot
ten agreed to this and Parker and the
marshal went in an automobile to a
safe deposit vault. were Parker got the
certificate. He is reputed to be ia mil
iionaire. and is said to have come into
his fortune within the last few years.

capacity with the United Wireless
company.
The arrest Of Parker has direct
bearing upon the recent arrests In
New York Of President Wilson and
vice president BoGart of the United
Wireless company and of W. W.. Tom
pkins Of the New York selling agency.
The Seattle inspectors and the district
attorney have been in frequent COM
munication with the federal officers

A JUGGLER's TRICK.
Clever Feat of Illusion Performed by

Clever Feat of Illusion Performed by
an East Indian.
A retired naval official who served
long in the east says the feats of the
East Indian jugglers are wonderful.
He cites one.
While he was an officer on board q
P. and o. steamship two natives came
aboard at Madras, he says. They were
juggler and his assistant. After they
had performed a number Of minor
feats and had gathered quite crowd
around them they called for sack
and piece of sailcloth.
These having been provided, the
chief juggler made a small tentlike
structure with the canvas and some
stools. He then placed his assistant
in the sack and allowed a sailor to tie
the knot which bound him q fast pris-
oner. This done, the chief carried the
sack into an open space, warning the
people to stand back some distance.
and then carried on an animated con-
versation with his assistant. whose re-
plies could be distinctly heard coming
from the sack Suddenly the chief
rushed forward, picked up the sack
and dumped 1t overheard, where. to
the horror Of the passengers and crew,
1t sank out of sight.
Immediately the captain rushed for
ward and seized the man under the
full belief that ne had murdered his
companion, but the juggler only smiled
and, pointing to the canvas, asked that
1t be raised. This was done, and the
supposed drowned man was discoy-
cred squatting on the deck. SO real
istic had been the throwing overheard.
however, that 1t was some time before
the surprised passengers could realize
murder had not been committed.

How a Bird Dresses.

As bird fashions do not change. two
suits a year are quite enough for most
birds, but they need to take great care
OF them. Each separate feather must
be cleaned and looked over and the
useless ones pulled out. These feath-
ers are not packed close together. you
know, but lie loose and have places
between filled with air. When bird
wants TO get warmer he lifts his feath-
ers so that these air spaces may be
larger. But IL his feathers are tan
gled or wet and dirty be could not
raise them. and soon he could not

LAUDS OREGON PLAN
Bourne, U. s, Senator, Speaks at An
Illinois Mass Meeting on Oregon
Election Methods.

With general denunciation of cor
ruption methods, alleged to have been
/ practiced in the legis lature of Illinois
IN recent years between three and four
hundred citizens from all parts of the
| state assembled at Peoria Mondey and
formed temporary organization to
repair the breakdown Of representative
| government.
Senator Jonathan Bourne OF Oregon
addressed an assembly of 700 people at
| the Majestic theatre explaining the
Oregon method Of electing United
States Senators. Speaking at the meet
ing in the interest OF good government,
Bourne charged that efforts had been
made, at the time of the senatorial pri-
mary election in Oregon. to ''dishouor
the state and its public service. /"
During the session of the legislature,
said Mr.. Bourne, former government
official, an assistantto the chairman
of the national committee appeared
in Oregon, and. am informed. prom
ised federal appointments to legisla.
tive members il they would disregard
tEeir statement No. pledges to the
electorate.
"The effort was made by the ene-
mics of the law to oreatethe impression
that by this persons relation with the
chairman of the republican national
committee, during the national cam-
paign, he would be able to deliver the
promised appointments iu cese the
number ona subscribers sold their hon.
or and betrayed the trust"
Speaking directly to the people of
Illinois, Mr. Bourne said: whether
you want popular selection of United
States Senators In Illinois is for you
voters to determine, but l warn you
any system or compromise system
which places party above the entire
people will result in issatisfaction and
probably corruption. Ii you wish to
destroy the power of the political ma
chine, abolish the convention sys-
tenn entirely. lfyou wish to esta blish
u popular selection of United States
senators, inaugurate system which
takes away from the legislature the
right to do more than ratify the act of
the people at the general election. /"
Senator Bourne's address in the be-
ginning was an exposition OF the much
discussed Oregon system. which he
declared to be the best systemof popu-
lar government In the world.
"The people are not only intelligent
but fair and honest" said Mr.. Bourne
"When the initiative and referendum
were under discussion it was freely
predicted by enemies of popular gov
ernment that the power would be a
bused and that capitalists would not
invest their money in state where
property would be subject to attacks
of popular passion and temporary
whims. Experience has exploded this
argument.
Plainly stated the aim and purpose
of the Oregon law is to destroy the ir-
responsible political machine and to
put all elective offices Ia the state in
direct touch with the people as the real
source of authority; in short to give
direct and full force to the ballot of
every individual elector in Oregon and
to eliminate dominance of corporate
and corrupt influences in the admins
tration of public affairs. I"
