announced to the public, but it was de-
cided on some considerable time since,
and has no connection with the death OF
her majesty. All the green adhesive
stamps will be abolished and carmine
colored stamps substituted for them.
The postoffice has been obliged to make
this change on account, it is understood,
of hediscOvery that the green colorinS
matter used in the printing of these
stamps is of a poisonous character. The
other colors are absolutely free from any
such suspicion.
The cost of the change may be esti-
mated when it is stated that not only
has a die to be cut for each separate
stamp but, stamps being pritned in
sheets, each individual stamp in the
sheet must have a die. Eighteen post
age stamps, ranging in value from ane
halfpenny to G5, will be affected by the
change. These stamps are, of course.
also available for inland revenue ana
Geographic purposes. There are also
two series of embossed envelopes, one
bearing a halfpenny and the other
penny stamp, which require separate
dies, as well as newspaper wrappers and
postcards. The preparation of these
dies will occupy at least a twelvemonth,
and when they are ready the printing OF
the new stamps will be begun at once.

ABOUT PHOEBE BELL,

Mrs. Harris of 421 East Third street,
the mother of Phoebe Bell, who was ky
mapped by a Mexican by the name Of J.
Il. Rogers, whose arrest was announced
from La Junta, Colo, a few days ago,
has received no word from her child
since the latter was rescued by the ladies'
of the Colorado Humane society, but a
member of the family said today that
word was expected by every mail.
1t seems, from letters in the posses
sion of the mother, that she has known
of the whereabouts of her daughter
since last September, but nothing WIS
done until recently to take the girl away
from the Mexican, and that was done

MRS. RUDD DIES.

The death of Mrs. l.. D. Rudd, which
occurred at st. AIMS hospital at 74O
o'clock last evening, came as a shock
to her large circle of friends in this city.
She was stricken with appendicitis last
week and submitted to an operation
which seemed to be the only hope left
to save her life. Other complications set
in and her strength was so impaired
that she gradually sank into the sleep
that knows no waking.
Mrs. Rudd formerly resided in Ogden
and Salt Lake, and came to Anaconda
less than two years ago, since which
time she has been engaged in conducting
a boarding house.
The remains were shipped to Ogden
Utah. for burial, this afternoon, accom-
panied by two sisters. Mrs. r. d. Empey
and Mrs. A. A. Bright. -

CHANGING THE ENGLISH STAMPS

London Chronicle: Among the many
changes which the death of the queen
will necessitate one of the most impor-
tant, and certainly not the least expen-
sive, is in the stamp issue of the Unite /
Kingdom. 1t is yet too early to state
the precise nature of the alterations that
will be made, inasmuch as the treasury.
the inland revenue department and .he
postoftice, the three government Offices
concerned in the matter have not VT
made up their minds on the subject.
Correspondence has passed among tn.
three departments. and a decision Will
be made on an early date.
One obvious and necessary change Is.
of course, that the head of King Edwa I'd
VII will replace that of Queen Victoria
on all stamps; but the question that /.
agitating the minds of the officials is tire
position of the kings head. 1t will, us
in the present issue, be placed within a
circle, but a suggestion has been made
from an influential quarter that the head
should be reversed. Against this h IS
been urged that the reversal of the head
would make his majesty look away from
the address. This may appear a frivo>
lOus objection, but it is, nevertheless, one
to which the authorities are giving ser
Gus consideration. Their ideas on the
subject of the new issue will be embodied
in report which will be placed before
the king, who will give the final d.
cision. The question of the position of
the monarch's head is practically TIE
only one that has to be settled, as We
understand it is not intended, as a con-
sequence of the queens death, to make
any changes in the colors of the stamps
/ One change in color will however. bs

RAILROAD MACHINISTS.

There is no change in the strike situa-
ton today, except that a new schedule of
wages for the machinists in the employ
of the Ii. A. & p. is to be demanded upon
the return of General Manager Dean, who
is now in the east.
"A copy of the blank agreement to BE-
submitted to the railroad authorities was
obtained this morning at the headquar-
ters of the machinists which in substance
is as follows:
The minimum rate of wages is to be
$40 after May 20 for day Of nine hours.
One apprentice is to be allowed to each
shop and in addition not more than one
apprentice to every five machnists In

ACTIVITY IN BUILDING,


Notwithstanding that some unfavor-
able conditions exist, there is quite a
little building going on along East Park
avenue. UnuouDteuly there would have
been more in progress but for the un-
certain condition of the labor situation
at the foundry. While the difficulty no
doubt will be settled satisfactory to all
Concerned, it has had the effect of
casuing some who had contemplated
making improvements this spring, to
wait until they see the outcome of the
pending troubles. But other property
owners have paid no heed to these
troubles and have not allowed their con-
fidence to lax one bit. They are going
tight ahead with the work they had
planned to do, regardless of everything
elee.
Just back of the bank building, the
new Weiss building is under construc-
ticn. The excavation is almost COM
pieted and by another week the masonry
work on the foundations ought to be
well under way. Just adjoining the
Weiss property, Walsh the harness
maker, has also begun work for new
building. The ground was broken sew
eral days ago and the excavation is now
pretty well along.
The Elks of Anaconda, it is said will
have their club rooms on the second
floor of the Weiss building and it is
their intention to fit up about the incest
quarters to be found anywhere in the
west
Other business buildings are being
constructed farther down the street that
will either replace old dilapidated shacks
or fill up vacant space.

JASPER's FUNERAL TODAY.
Thousands OF Negroes View the
Aged Preachers Body.

RICHMOND, Va. April 3.-The Rev
John Jaspers funeral tomorrow promises
to be one OF the biggest in the history
Of Richmond. Elaborate preparations have
been made for it, and his congregation is
leaving no stone unturned 10 make his
obsequles most impressive.
The aged Colored preacher died Friday.
and since that time his body has laid in
state. This morning it was taken to his
church. the Sixth Mount Zion, and all
day thousands of negroes filed past the
elvet-coyered coffin to view the body.
SO great was the interest and curiosity
aroused that thousands Of negroes stayed
from their work ali day in order to visit
the church.
Jasper's peculiar Views made him many
enemies among his race, and especially
those with some education. He was fire.
quently ridiculed from the pulpit of other
cOlOred churches, and in turn denounced
his critics as being without God and the
Bible. His sermons on the movements of
the planets were always prcfaccd with an
attack on those critics.
The church itself is In mourning and
over the entrance is the sombre black
telling Of the Nreavement OF the con-
greSaton. The pulpit and the chair Jas

IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE.
The Western Maryland Directors
Authorize Many Needed Changes.

BALTIMORE, April 3.-The Western
Maryland Railroad directors today au-
thorized the construction of a second
track between Williamsport and Hagers-
town and from Hagerstown to Wingerton.
a second track will also be built from
Zumbro to the western limits of Cham
bersburg.
Additional sidings viii be placed be-
tween Cherry Run and Shippensburg and
at other points on the opposite side of
the Potomac. Heavyweight truss bridges
are to replace the light truss bridges.
When these improvements have been
completed the interchange between the
Western Maryland and Philadelphia and
Reading will be made at Lurgan June
tion instead of Shippensburg. The cost of
the improvements is estimated at s335. 900.
The work will be pushed to completion
as early as possible. The Western Mary
land is now suffering loss because of the
inadequate accommodation for business,
it being the connecting link between the
Philadelphia and Reading and Norfolk
and Western.
The cost is to be met BY an issue Of .
