Postmaster-General Gary has decided to
order special issue of stamps commem-
orative of the holding of the Trans Mis-
sissippi exposition at Omaha, Neb., the
coming year. This is done at the request
of persons prominent in the management
of the exposition. They will be of the de-
nominations of one cent, two cents, five
cents, ten cents and one dollar. There
will be no attempt to withdraw from sale
the regular issues with a view to exclusive
use of the new stamps, as was the case
during the Worlds Fair when almost all
postal business was transacted with the
Columbian stamps, but they will be free
ly supplied wherever there is a request for
them from pOstmasters. The new issues
will be different in color from the existing
ones, so that they may be readily distin-
guished.
