ANEW POSTAGE STAMP.
A Commemorative of the Holding of the
Trans Mississippi Exposition.
For the third time in the history of
the nation, in recognition of the import
ance of a brilliant enterprise Postmaster
General Gary has decided to order a
6eries ot special postage s'amps, com
memorative of the holding of the Trans
Mississippi and International Exposi
tion at Omaha in 1898. The stamps
will bs issued in denominations of 1
cent, 2-cent, 5-cent, 10 -cent and $100,
making it possible for the public to use
these stamps on all outgoing foreign bb
well as domestic mail matter and packets
of mercbantdise. In the United States
there are 70,000 post offices, so that the
widespread circulation of these stamps,
suggestive to the Tr&ns Mississippi and
International Exposition, will be readily
attenied. The issue lends the Exposi
tion the prestige of government recogni
tion and support.
As it is the aim of the Postmaster
General to give the Exposition a series
of stamps tnat will not only be artistic
in character, but which will appeal to all
classes of people and be especially typi
cal of the Greater West, it is suggested
that possibly one of the denominations
might have on the face a reproduction
of a celebrated painting, "Fremont
Hoisting the Flag on the Rocky Moun
tains." The cemplex picture which Langs in
the south corrodor of the capitol, known
as "We-tard-ho," emblematical of tho
hardships attendant upon the pioneer,
and suggested by Bishop Berkley's quo
tation, "Westward the course of the em
pire takes its way," is also proposed.
A representation of the picture, 'Do
Soto's Discovery of the Mississippi
River," in ths rotunda of the capitol at
Washington, is suggested for usa on one
of the stamps.
The stamps will bo different in co'or
from the regular series. In shape they
will resemble the Columbian stamp is
sued in commemoration of the World's
Fair. The new ones will be twice the
size of the present postage stamp. The
Trans-Mississippi stamps will be sought
after by collectors, and as there are near
ly a million of these people in the worl J,
the government, instead of being philan
rhropic, expects to realize handsomely
upon the issue. Columbian stimps to
day are selling at prices many times
higher than was onc9 paid for them and
they are growing more valuable each
year. It is the same way with the Cen
tennial stamp, and it will also be true of
the Trans Mississippi stamp.
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Merritt, invites suggestions of scenes for
use of the stamps, it being the desire of
the post ofllce authorities to give the
Trans-Mis3i6sippi ann International Ex
position the handsomest set of stampB
ever issued to commemorate an exposition.
