One Stamp Worth Fortune

Pride of place among the many Ealu- able and unique specimens belongs to a singularly unpretentious and sorry-look- ing stamp issued in the Colony of British Guiana in 1856. for provisional use pend- ing the arrival of fresh consignment of land. It is of the denomination of 1 cent, the design being crudely set up from ordinary printers type at the office of the Official Gazette. with the central device of a sailing ship taken from the heading to the shipping announcements in the paper, says the Strand.
 The single known copy of this rarity was discovered by young collector in the colony among some old family, papers stored away in an attic. Knowing noth- ing of it's scarcity and not being favor ably impressed with it's appearance, he sold it to another collector for a trifiine sum- the purchaser also being ignorant of his great bargain. Ultimately it wound it's way to Europe. and now reposes in the collection of M. Philippe de la Re notiere of Paris. the distinguished owner of the worlds greatest stamp collection who purchased it many years ago for ar amount that has never been disclosed but is believed to have been at that pc riod a record one. It's intrinsic value to- it's ever coming into the market, is cer- tainly in excess of $10,000.
 report on this famous stamp by 8 celebrated expert states that the copy is poor one dark magnenta in color and somewhat rubbed. It is initialed 'E D. w and dated April 1, the year not being distinct enough to be read. Nev- ertheless, it is the rarest stamp in the world

ROOSEVELT WILL
 SUPPORT STRAIGHT
 PROGRESSIVE TICKET

Oyster Bay. N. Y. August 21.-Theo-
 dore Roosevelt tonight. withdrew his
 recent endorsement of former State
 Senator Harvey D. Hinman, republi-
 can. for nomination as governor on the progressive ticket and pledged himself
 to support a straight progressive party ticket in New York state
 Colonel Roosevelt under no circum- stances will be the progressive candi- date for governor himself, he declared earlier today Names mentioned for the nomination are William Hotchkiss, for mer state superintendent of insurance, and Frederick M. Davenport who ran for lieutenant governor in 1912 Apparently Colonel Roosevelts at tempt to bring about a so-called fusion In New York was frustrated by Hin mans declaration at the unofficial re- publican convention at Saratoga that he would not be candidate on any other ticket if defeated for the repub . lican nomination.

From the Angle of the Bug
By REUBEN A. LEWIS

Brown received the credit for having won Thursdays battle, while Roth is accredited with having won from Montgomery yesterday. At the present time Hardgrove is a prominent star among the fingers.
 Roth retired reluctantly from the slab. The big fellow displayed more stuff than he has ever possessed since joining the Barons, but could not control it. Manager Molesworth asserted last night that the big finger wanted to remain on the slab badly. In his opinion, Roth had more speed and curves than he has ever shown with the Barons.
 The damp sling artist had not worked for nine days. However. he will be sent against the Vols in the first bat tie this afternoon and given a chance to show his bafflers. Robertson will twirl the second. Birmingham is hope ful of taking three out of four from the Schwartzmen. Berger will twirl the opener. Roland is not feared.
 
 The triumph of the Gulls over New Orleans was warmly received in the local camp. The Barons lead New Orleans by one and one-half games and possess handicap of two and a half over Mobile. Chattanooga is expected to give New Orleans a strug gle in the approaching series, while Memphis should not prove a sinecure for Mobile.
 The Barons are for Mobile. if they cannot win the pennant Bris Lord is such a finue fellow and has such d lot of good fellows under his com mand that the sympathy of the Bir- mingham team is with the Guls.

REMARKABLE PART

Who made the first needle? Perhaps some clever wife who pierced the shank
 of fine fishbone to carry thread of
 plant fiber or catgut, says the Chicago
 Daily News.
 Today the needle is the symbol of civ ilization, for where you find human be- ings this side of barbarism you find
 clothes, and where clothes are there are needles.
 Man is q tool-using animal. And the
 needle is the commonest and smallest of tools
 The spider spins his web, the worm his cocoon; the man, by nature, naked,
 weaves his outmost cuticle with this sharp, shining shaft of steel.

Wherever go the animals called human, there the little needle dances at tendance.
 The sword is the instrument of glory ; it has been multiplied by inventive gem

 The pen is the instrument of thought. It has become a type and it's printed words r n thick from flp n
 magazines and books.
 The knife and spoon have been elabor-

 The feat appeared more remarkable when it was reminded that the crafty right handler had pitched three innings Thursday. It also recalls Q. little pit of clever pitching.

more ski1lful nursing which is obtained in these days. But the surgeon himself would tell you that it is almost all @ matter of absolute cleanliness, the fact that nothing is left undone to insure absolute freedom from infection of any kind. This fact is emphasized by the extraordinary hand-washing regula- tions which are in force at the various hospitals. Everybody who Is even re- motely connected with an approaching operation is supposed to spend 20 min utes in the all important process of va ashing his hands
 For five minutes the surgeon washes his hands with soap and water, and then cleans his finger nails. When he has done this, he spends another five minutes doing it all over again But this is but a preparation for third and far more drastic ablution, for this time he must wash his hands in alec hoi. Not content with this cleansing process. however. he must now put his hands through process of sterilization by soaking them for at least five min rtes in a wash of corrosive sublimate. By that time he may commence his duties, which mean life or death to some patient, with the satisfactory feeling that he has done his best to approach his task with clean hands
