NEW POSTAGE STAMP.


Washington, July s.-Post office
authorities are considering the advis-
ability Of issuing series Of small
sized stamps, Of the two-cent denom-
nation, to DO used on envelopes con.
tanning calling cards and small-sized
notes. One Of the post Office officials
has suggested that II such a plan Is
to be carried out there should be an
issue of large two-cent stamps for
the large No. 10 envelopes used in
business and official correspondence.
The gentlemen who have requested
the issue Of the small-sized stamps
believe that there would be popular
demand for them on account Of the
large number that would be used in
the prevailing custom Of using small
envelopes for the transmission of
calling cards and cards Of congratula-
ton or coincidence. and in many Of
the little forms of correspondence
demanded by social customs.

company can employ a man to cut
coal unless he has a miners certifi-
cate showing that he has had two

ed by examining boards composed
Of miners appointed by the county

The correspondent of the Associ-
ated press yesterday sought the opin-
ion of strikers officials as to how
long they expected the strike to
last and those Of mining superintend-
ents as to whether the price Of coal
will go up or down during the coming
fall The labor leaders were unani-
nous in the belief that the strike
will still be on September ! il the
operators make no concessions. The
company officials who were seen
were of the opinion that the price Of
coal during the remainder of this
year will not go below present fig
ures and may 60 higher.

DEAL IN PACKING PLANTS.
No Longer Any Doubt That John d. Rookie
Teller, the Standard OIL magnate.
Has Entered New Field.

Kansas City, Mo-, July There is
said to be no longer doubt that the
Standard oil magnate has entered
the packing field and is practically
in control, although there is an at
tempt to keep hidden the identity Of
the new financial hackers Of the COM
bine. The entrance Of the Rockefel-
Ter millions is said to be due partly
to inability on the part Of the active
promoters to swing so gigantic q
financial proposition without power
full support from outside sources,
and partly to the fact that Rockefel-
Ter was already heavily interested
in the Swift packing plants and other
Swift interests.

expectedly and so quietly that only
two or three persons around strike
