DEMOCRATS 60 BY CENTRAL R0 Connecticut Delegation to Have Two Special Care. The. committee of arrangements of Connecticut's delegation to the Nation- al democratic convention to be held the Tontlnc hotel. New Haven. and pen fecied plans for the tour. District Delegate Louis A. Fisk. of Branford. is the chairman of the committee. It was decided to take the New York Central route to St. Louis and to have two special curs attached to the Con- tral‘s fast train known as “The South Western Limited." They will leave New Haven on Sunday July 3 at 1 p. m. Most. of the delegates will reach New Haven Saturday night. St; hulls will be reached at 6:4ti p. m._ Monday and will stop at the Hotel Jefferson while in St. Louis. How long the delegates shall stay in St. Louis depends entirely on their per- sonal desires and each will come home at such time as he sees “fit. Several of them propose to remain after the close of the national convention to visit the exposition. All but one of the delegates will go out Sunday. June 3. The exception is County Delegate James E. McCabe. of Cheshire and principal of the Walling- ford high school. Mr. McCabe is the only Hearst man in the party but be Is under instructions to vote for Judge Parker. Mr: McCabe goes ahead of the main party. nearly a fortnight for the reason that he is a delegate to another convention which meets prior. to the democratic one. Each of the alternates proposes to go and it is likely that Secretary E S. Thomas of the state central commit- tee will accompany the party. Employment Agent-What was the matter with your last place?

Connecticut has been the Wooden Nutmeg State for genera lions and will continue to be so called till the and of tlmc. Nearly cvery day it is so referred to by the state pms as well as journals all over the Unfit-d States and several paw-rs have alrcdy copied the article in the Bristol Proust. We know this is an iconoclastic age and one by one the familiar stories of our childhood are being ruthlessly at- tackcd. We are told that William Tell and his apple arc myths and that his- tory does not confirm the story of Georgia Washington and the cherry tree. Now the assault is ‘ on the Wooden Nutmeg State llnli We rise up and vigorously protest. if we are furl: cd to giro up that name what becomes of the famous toast: “Here‘s to the Wooden Nutmcb State; where can you find a grlc)atcr?" Spanish War Revenue Stamps Will Not Be Redeemed By Cavern- ment After That- Date. After July 1 the treasury depart- ment will refuse to redeem unused in- ternal revenue stamps that Wore sold for the purpose of enabling the grow ernment. to carry on the war with Spain. Commissioner of internal Re venue Yerkes is Issuing notices to coi~ lecture to advise holders of these stamps to hurry up and file their claims for rcdcmption, as they will be worthless after the lapse of a few more weeks. it is figured that Uncle Sam will save a neat sum of money with the ex- piration of the redemption limit. Hun- dreds and probably thousands, of per J sons all over the country have small quantities of revenue stamps In their possession. Either through careless- nes or because they lack the amount required for redemption they have made no, effort to secure reimburse meat for the worthless stamps. in order not to be swamped with claims the department refused to re- deem loss than two dollars worth of stamps A rather sharp speculator do. cideti totakc advantage of this limi- tation. and set about buying up all the stamps he could find from people who had less than two dollars worth. He obtained a large stock at reduced prices and filed them with the depart- ment with a claim at face value. He received a. shock when informed that he must furnish proof of ownership and trace each stamp or lot of stamps to the government officer who sold them originally. This course was adopted in all cases so as to protect the govern. ment from losses in redemmlng coun- torfcits. About three million dollars worth of revenue stamps have been taken up by the government to date. This does not include claims for about 8500.000 worth of stamps that are now pending. A few months ago Secretary Shaw sent $2.30 worth of war stamps to Mr. Yerkes with a request that they.be re deemed and the proceeds placed to the credit of the government. They were all that was left of a lot of stamps purchased by the departmnt in' 1898 to expedite the sale of war bonds. A great many checks were received in payment of bond subscriptions, inciting the necessary war revenue- stamps. These were applied by the department and, the cost charged to profit and loss There was no way 'by which Mr. Yerkes could redeem the 32:30 worth of stamps submitted by Mr. Shaw. but Deputy Commissioner Wheeler solved the difficulty by buying them himself; to be kept as souvenirs of the Spanish war bond issue.
