THE WOMAN STAMP.
First to Hear Feature OF a Fs1r
One VIII Ee I.sred Dec. 4.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. m-tSpe-
ciaI. The United States government has
never issued postage stamp decorated
with the head of a woman. But TINS
cannot be said after Dec. 1. On that day
the post-ofice department will begin
sending out to postmGsters new Scent
stamp on which will be the head OF
Martha Washington. The design is con-
sidered one Of the most beautiful ever
gotten up by the post-office department.
The head is encircled with a wreath. AT
the bottom on the left is 1872. the year
in which Martha Washington was born:
on the right. 1907 the year in which she
died.
1t will be interesting to state how the
post-oaice department first got the idea
of decorating q stamp with woman's
head. Some lady of note wrote short
article. which appeared In the Ladies'
Home Journal early this year. in which
she complained that the ladies were being
Disseminated against by the stamp de-
signers of the post-ofice department., for
apparently they had never seen fit TO have
q representative OF their fair sex placed
on the face of postage stamp. The De-
troit Journal took the matter up EDITORIAL
~, and MI. Madden. the third assistant
postmastsr-gensral.sb being Detroit man
noticed the article and began thinking
about the matter. The result is the first
postage stamp to indicate that the of.
Gals OF the post-oftice department mean
to put the ladies' on the same footing as
Enefi.

bed while the revolver was on the rug
at the bedside.
THE RUSSIANS STORY.
De Rydsenskis version of the affair is
that while converslng with his visitor he
had occasion to pick up an article from
the table. and he inadvertently knocked
off the revolver, the fall Of which to the
floor caused Ii to discharge. The bullet
struck Miss Gore. and she fell backward
on the bed. in an unconscious condition.
The commissary Of police. who had charge
of the case says that the story seems i'm
probable. but that it Is impossible as yet
to say whether the case is one OF of muir
der or accident
According to a servant in the house,
Miss Gore paid frequent visits to the Rus
sian. who. il is now reported first said
that she had committed suicide. but at
forwards told the police that while holding
the revolver in his hands it slipped from
his grasp and went off as it fell.
