FIFTY THOUSAND WOMEN
WILL FIGHT HOME RULE

BELFAST, Ireland, January 49,
Fifty thousand women members Of the
Ulster Unionists Associations today is
sued a fiery manifesto to their sisters
in Great Britain to aid them in defeat
ing the home rule bill.
The Duchess of Abercorn preside /
at the meeting of the council of the
Ulster Unionists Associations which
made the appeal. In her speech she
said;
I'VE will not accept home rule and
if we are thrown out of our hermitage
We shall stand by our men folk, resist
ing to the uttermost the domination OF
a rebel Parliament in Dublin"
The manifesto declares the Union
lists determination to hold Ulster for
the empire and asserts that home rule
will reduce the whole country to the
rags and poverty which are found in
Ireland only in those districts where
rule of the Nationalist League is SUI
preme."

STEVENSONS
Continued from page nine.)

nine years afterward he renewed the
scenes in THE Wrecker" by bringing
his hero across on the same route.
Shortly after arriving in this city he
went on to Monterey, and Mrs. o.
bourne gives a list of the various
works he wrote there, together with
some entertaining descriptions of the
men and women with whom he was
associated. What a fine picture is
that of dear old Jules Simoneau and
his wife! When Stevenson fell sick
it was the restaurant keeper who was
also the philanthTopist and philoso-
pher, who played the part of nurse
and banker. Years afterward, when
Stevenson was dead and Simoneau
grown old, and the wineroom and res
taurant were closed, he and Madame
became very poor but they never
consented to sell their autographed
Stevenson first editions, sent them by
Stevenson from the different places
he was afterward living in in Europe;
nor Stevenson's letters, though they
were offered more than once an
amount that would have raised them
above penury."
A few days before Christmas, 1879,
Stevenson moved to San Francisco,
and a little later took a room with the
Carsons at COS Bush street. This
house and one at Z Montgomery ave

son stayed on his return eight years
later to ship from this port for the
South seas, were the only houses Ste
venson ever lived in in San Francisco
"A certain house in San francisco
called Stevenson's was not his; in
fact, was not built until many years
after his being there, and even some
time after his death" The writer
adds: More than that, he never even
visited the site on which that house
stands" This unnecessary emphasis
suggests a purpose beyond that of bi

Perhaps the commonest of all err
rors are, those of surcharge; at pres
.ent stamps with an inverted or de-
fective surcharge are all the rage
among collectors. Among the stamps
issued by the German colony of Kia-
utschou is one which is surcharged
"5 Pr" On a few of the stamps,
owing to misprint, the surcharge ap.
pears "5fP." The original or postal
value of this stamp is only half
penny. A ship captain addressed
from Kautschou to his son in Europe
an envelope to which one of these
rarities was affixed. His son was a
collector and did not throw the envel-
ope into the waste basket, as doubt
less many others did, in ignorance
of the value of the treasure. Only
about ten specimens of this error are
known, and they are valued at $40
each.

cARUso AND DEsTlNN


NEW YORK, January 22.-Little did
Giacomo Puccini know what was com-
ing to him when he conceived the bril-
liant idea of putting a waltz into the
first act of THE Girl of the Golden
West" He may have known that
Caruso wuold surely impersonate
Johnson. but did he realize that the
famous tenor was far more iconoclas-
tic than himself in matters of time
and fashion? If he had been present
at the performance of the opera this
evening he would have seen the great
singer introduce a startling innovation
among the fashions of the forty-nin-
ers.
At the end of the certain episode IN
the first act Johnson and Minnie waltz
from the stage into the dance hall
while the miners sing. Caruso never
was a graceful waltzer. But tonight
the audience sat up and stared. What
was this? bumped shoulders, bowed
back, sliding away, magic embrace
was the turkey troll" From Cali
fornia it came. To California it was
returned. Caruso and Destinn were
the trotters. For the first time or
any stage in a genuine grand opera
appeared the turkey trot."
There was no grizzly bear or bunny
hug about it. 1t was just the old
original trot and when Emmy DestinI
discovered what Caruso was up to she
joined in with both feet and made the
thing a perfect success If the tro
does not give new life to The Girl"
good many people will miss thei
guess.

Mr.. Lang wrote to Albert H. Howe
for seventeen years secretary to the
senator, stating the Roosevelt denial

RARE POSTAGE STAMPS ARE
WORTH FORTUNES INDIVIDUALLY

instructions were given about color
or design, and Cornell took the i'll
advised course of embellishing the
.five-cent stamp with his own portrait.
The stamps were to have been issued
for sale on May I, 1906 but on the
government receiving notice at the
last moment that one of the stamps
bore the portrait of the Postmaster
General, that official was instructed to
delay the issue, and afterward lie
wa ordered to withdraw the stamps
which bore his efIigy and to replace
them by a different design with the
portrait of the Queen. Connell con-
sidered himself aggrieved by this res
olution, and sent in his resignation,
which was accepted. Although an or
der was given for the destruction of
all the Cornell stamps, some of them
escaped, and these are much priced
by collectors AS they are known in
the used state, it is presumed that
some were actually used for postage;
used specimens are still more valu-
able than the unsued, being worth as
much as G75.
1t has already been mentioned lin
the case of the fourpenny blue of
Western Australia) that an error of
impression may greatly increase the
value of a stamp; the value in such
a case depends mainly on the scar
city of such misprint or error. The
error may be produced in many ways.
Some of the earliest stamps were
printed in black on colOred paper,
different colors being used to repre-
sent the various values. This is the
case with the first stamps used by
the Grand Duchy of Baden. The six
kreutzer value is printed in black on
green paper, and the nine-kreutzer in
black on rose BY a printers error,
probably caused by the resemblance
of the inverted nine to six, some
OF the nine-kreutzer stamps were
printed on green paper. When the
first specimen of a nine-kretuzer-
black on-green stamp was shown to a
prominent dealer he pronounced it to
be fake. But two specimens of the
same stamp were afterward produced
on the original envelopes in the state
in which they had passed through the
post, which left no doubt of the gen.
uineness of the error. Since then no
other specimens of this error have
been found and the three referred to
are believed to be the only ones IN
existence. One of the specimens with
the stamp affixed was sold for 91O0
to a well-known collector.
