Discovery ef Washed Stamps in New dereey May Explain Request for 1,000,000 Canceled Stamps. For many years the United States postal authorities and others have heard rumors that somebody was willing to pay a fabulous amount for 1,000,000 canceled postage stamps. The somebody has never been defin- itely named, but it has been vaguely stated that the proceeds of the stamps would be devoted to charity and that some wealthy individual would pay the premium. Perhaps an episode in Newark may shed a little light upon the matter. Postal Inspector J. L. Cortelyou, a brother of President Roosevelt's sec- retary, and United States Marshal Jéhn Garside, of Newark, have ar- rested in that city Henry Boisseaue, a Frenchman, 70 years old, who is an inmate of the home of the Little Sisters of the Poor. Boisseaue is a veteran of three wars. lle sent washed stamps in exchange for dr- ticles he desired to get. The old man was arre and his reom in the least $50,000 soaking in a stamps were found washtub, The mother superior of the institu- tion said Roissenue had nothing te do with the collection of these stamps, }but that he and other aged inmates were employed to soak them from the envelopes, dry them and arrange to China, them for shipment where they brought a good price and were highly esteemed for wall decoration The sisters said the stamps had a high value in the eyes of the Chi nese, and that Chr cha 1 them for children, who were adopted and brought up to the Chris- tian faith by the missionaries, INVEST MILLIONS IN ONTARIO. awn workers ON* Chicagoans Plan to Develop Tract of 3,000,000 Acres of Land Rich in Mineral Depostios The Ontario government has an- other big Chicago project before it and is prepared to give the charters sought for, ietehell and Messrs, ‘|ment of the fish. John F. Langan, of Chicago, have of- fered to spend $15,000,000 in pulp mills, mining power, lumbering, coloniza- tion, and railway construction, on a tract of land extending to about three million acres and lying west of the new railway which the Ontario gov- ernment is from the Canadian Pacific line at North Bay to- ward hudson Bay. Agents of the syndicate have satisfied themselves that there are enormously rich min- eral deposits, immense timber limits, great quantities of splendid wheat lands, and unlimited water power, The new Grand Trunk Trans-Contin- ental railway passes through the tract. The concession of two million acres for purely colonization purposes, which Judge Utt, of Chicago, and J. F. Egan, of Rock Island, asked, has been granted, and Mr. Egan signed the agreement here to-d Judge Utt and Mr. Egan unde e to settle 10,000 people on gheir concession yearly for ten years, and every tenant gets the patent of his own farm, WINS WORLD’S FAIR PRIZE, constructing Charles Holloway, of Clinton, Ia.

Theories of the Well-Fed. if we may judge from the class of people who are supporting the prop- osition that one may ‘live on $300 a year, says the Chieago Chronicle, the theory is akin to the historic axiom respecting a boil on the neek—that it is a mighty good thing for some other fellow.
