VALUE FOR $50

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. IA. - Hun
dreds OF stamp enthusiasts, ranking In
their hobby everywhere from ordinary
collectors to expert philatelists, are
besieging Edward B. Hemingway
Since knowledge became current con-
corning his golden find" of rare
postage stamps valued at 100000, his
office in Elbow lane has become the
stamp collectors Mecca of personal
pilgrimages or target for excited tele-
grams, letters and phone calls. Hem
ingway's' windfall was the result of
blind luck. -
In q $50 purchase of waste paper,
which, as representative of the Hem
ingway,a Paper Stock Company, he
bought six months ago from an up
state business house. he found 1902
postage stamps of curious design. He
exhibited them. to A. F. Henkels, pres
ident of the Philadelphia Stamp Club.
and was inforined.'that his discovery
was worth in cash about $100 900. and
that it would go down as memorable
event in the annals5of philately.
1902 Old Stamps. a .'.,-.-.r
The rare bits of steel engraving
number 102 in all, and are conserva-
lively estimated to be worth $50
times their weight In gold as the
stamp affixed to their envelopes. The
most valuable of the stamps are those
known as the ST. Louis bear issue,
struck in 1S47 This variety was de-
signed for use in st! Louis, and is dis
tinguished by the seal of Missouri with
the two bears rampant. The and l.
cent specimens of this issue have a
catalogue value of $3.50 each, and a
commercial rating of perhaps 500
more
Hemingway has several of this de-
nomination, but they pale in COMPARE
son with his specimens of the 20-cent
bear issues. These stamps are so
rare that for many years the anthem
ITCHY of the few that did exist was
doubted. During the last decade, how
ever, several have been unearthed,
and their value has been established
at $4,000,
Hemingway has no knowledge in
the valuation of stamps, and very lit
tie sympathy for the hobby. There
fore, he has decided to dispose of al
most all of the collection to syndi-
rate rather than trouble himself with
selling them piecemeal.
Ready for the 100000.
Il know nothing about the value of
my stamps" said Hemingway, except
as | have been advised by Mr. Henk-
els l think that anybody who is will
ing to pay money for little scraps of
paper. which have no intrinsic value
whatever. are possessed with a harm
less sort of mania. However, the first
mai or company that comes along
ant offers me 100000 for the lot is
welcome to them"
Buried away with the stamps for
sixty-five years were also many doc
uments that have been preserved from
the revolutionary period. Among
them are account books of Chalmoner
& White, provisioners to the Cont
mental army; many autograph letters
OF Robert Morris, the financier of the
war, who lived in this city; letters by
Benedict Arnold and by Anthony
Wayne. Hemingway believes that his
treasure trove will also reveal some
autograph letters of Washington. al
though he has found none up to the
present.

Well, take four Billigen grins,

giles and wide, wide smiles to suit

of the way Tacoma merchants are
feeling this glad Yuletide.
For the Christmas business was
great!
Retail stores last night had a
fine supply of empty shelves and
salespeople were floundering
midst mountains of discarded
boxes when the glad alarrum

Some local statistician, who has
plenty of time to reckon up per.

that 100000 was spent for

was-the soul of the Christmas
spirit itself.
When Florence made the
rounds of the tables and planted
a kiss upon the lips of those
present, the ladies excepted, the
evening began to assume it's first
touch of hugeness.
Why not?
Florence is one of the pretty
members of "The Kiss Waltz

last night for today's engagement.
And those kisses! Not the
snippy little howdy-do sort of
kisses that wifey gives you or
your arrival home, but real,
warm, luscious, lingering ones.
Who else was there? Oh,
everybody!
And the evening hurried on
while the corks flew. and songs
and merriment and laughter and
happiness and good cheer filled
the atmosphere.

eve Tacoma ever saw, maybe.
But at last the music ceased and

KILLED
IN BOX
CAR
CHRISTMAS DAWN DISCOV-
ERS BRUTAL KILLING IN
TACOMA-ITALIAN is VIC
TIM.

Christmas dawned in Tacoma
in years.
The body of Frank LaZarro, an
Italian section hand in the em-
plOy of the Northern Pacific rail-
road, aged about As years, was
found this morning by fellow
workman, John Louis, who was
sent to Lazarro's boXcar home at
18th and ID streets, to call him
when he did not appear for work
with the rest OF the crew
Skull Badly Beaten.
Lazarro's skull had been beat
EN- into a jelly. The body lay on
the floor of the car, a bloody pick
handle by its side.
Detective Fackler and Coroner
Shaver both believe Lazarro was
killed by members of a black
hand society, who murdered for
money which they thought Lazar-
ro had drawn from a bank.
LaZarro, son of the murdered
man, aged 20 years, left Tacoma
last night with a pass over the
Northern Pacific to Centralia.
The authorities have wired that
city to hold the boy for inVestiga-
tion.
The result of the inspection OF
the box car in which Lazarro and
his son lived has brought forth
the following facts.
Lazarro himself probably OPEN
ed the door for his murderers.
. The crime was committed dur
ing the early hours of the night.
The murderers, which the au-
thorities believe We're two, tried
to enter the box car by breaking
the lock on one door with q
shovel.
Lazarro had money, a bank
book having been discovered in
his inside coat pocket.
There is no clue as to who kill
ed Lazarro, except a description
of two men in the possession of
the police department. These
men, according to another section
hand, were seen hanging about
the vicinity of the Lazarro car
last evening.
Lazarro had been working in
the crew of John Garvey for more
than year and was a man of
steady habits. He leaves a Wild
ow In Italy. The remains were
sent to Hoska Buckley Kings
morgue.
