High Mark in Auction Of
dupont Collection

Because Uncle Sam, back in civil
war times, decided that 24-cent stamps
looked nohbier with square corners
than with round corners. a tiny bit
of engraving brought S77 last night
at an auction of rare postage stamps
IN the salesrooms of Samuel T. Free
man. Philadelphia.
The stamp, which was retired, after
Il had been issued for the month OF
August, 1861. because of its unsightly
round corners, is very rare, and Ia
listed by the experts who compile
stamp catalogs. at $3.50. However. Eu-
gene Klein, the auctioneer, was pleas
ed with the price II set the high
mark In the collection OF Victor du-
Pont. late of Wilmington, which he
had been delegated to sell.
About 5000 stamps In all we're
disposed of for an aggregate sum OF
nearly $4,000.
One stamp in the lot attracted con
siderable attention because Of the
very low price It brought. II was an
uncancelled copy Of the six pence,
1907 issue. for the island Of Domi-
MICA, and was knocked down at S210
Klein declared this stamp was so
rare that II had never been appraised
In catalogs and had been sold in Eu-
rope for prices ranging between 500
and $500. This stamp, together with
the rare United States stamp, we're
bought by an unknown bidder trad
ing under the name OF "Mr G." Anoth-
er pair OF very rare stamps which
are said 70 have often brought more
than 800 went TO Francis Engel. oil
Elizabeth, n j., for s43O The pair
we're uncancelled and unsevered and
belonged to the 1870 issue for the Is.
land Of ST. Christopher. The face
value OF each was about one cent
Among the other high-priced
stamps was a 24-cent uncanceled
United States Of 1880. which brought
S40.75. A real stamp OF Spain. of the
1852 issue, was sold for S1775.
The sale as a whole brought high
prices. Many agents of big collectors
who came with instructions to bid nc
higher than a fixed sum, left the auc-
ton without buying.

LETTER.

Last week the republicans of the
House adopted a resolution provid.
ing open conference and caucuses
of the House members and in do
ing so advanced another step in
line with the demand of progressiv We
republicans for the past several
years .
The members of the republica
party in congress appear to be fully
impressed with the significance of
republican defeat in the last cleo
ton and are bending their energies
toward a policy of progressive legis-
lation that will commend itself to
the country.
They believe that this course is es
sential to the life of the republican
party and they believe that the
rank and file of the republican par
ty will sustain their actions.
Among these who are earnestly
working for the com hitting Of the
Poie W ucliuile pIO-
gressive policies among the mem
bers Of preceding congresses are
Senators Cummins. Borah and La
Toilette, and Representatives Len
root, French, Davis and others who
are as well known as progressive
republicans. The republicans of
both house and senate are great
ly impressed with thee dispatches
that have told of the outcome of
elections this spring.
In Michigan for instance, where
last fall the progressive party led,
a couple Of weeks ago in the off
year election of several state officers
the republican ticket was successful.
while the progressive ticket had fall
back to a poor third.
In st. Louis, where the progress
i've ticket received $4,000 votes
last fall, the progressive municipal
ticket received recently 1861 votes
as against more than $4,000 votes
for the republican ticket and $4,000
for the democrats. The socialist
ticket received 10000.
In Chicago in the November cleo
ton, Roosevelt carried the city by
$4,000 votes over Taft, while in
the municipal election last month,
the republican received three times
as ma ny votes as the candidate on
the progressive ticket.
Republicans, still smarting under
rebuke given by the rank and
file last November are confident
thos who administered the
are still republicans. as in
by the vote in Chicago, Mich
lgan and ST. Louis, and that they
10 not propose to align themselves
definitely with a third party. At
same time, candid democratic
leaders see in the heavy swing to
he republican party, the possibil-
ty of a republican congress two
ears from now with a republican
PRESIDENT four years hence and of
such type as Hadley, Cummins or
3orah.
1t is generally admitted, that
ave geography alone, Senator Borah
would be a strong candidate in
916.
