SPECIAL FAIR TIME STAMPS.
Five Issues IN Sale--George WASH
ington. Taken Off the 2-Center.

The Government has issued a special
set OF postage stamps, in five denomina-
lions, to commemorate the Louisiana pur-
chase OF 1903 and incidentally, in honor of
the exposition at St. Louis, although
there is no reference to the fair on the
stamps.
The new stamps were put on sale April
30th., the day the President pressed the
button that made the wheels go round,
and their sale will stop on Dec. l. The
denominations of the commemorative is
sue and their colors and subjects are:
One-cent stamp, green, has the portrait
OF Robert r. Livingston, the United States
Minister to France, who conducted the
negotiations for the Louisiana purchase.
Two-cent stamp, red, has the portrait of
Thomas Jefferson, who was then Presi-
dent of the United States:
Three-cent stamp, purple, bears the por-
trait Of James Monroe, who, as Special
Ambassador to France was associated with
Livingston in closing the negotiations.
Flve-cent stamp, blue, has the portrait
of President Mckinley, because he APP
proved the acts of Congress officially con-
Meeting the Government with the present
Exposition.
Ten cent stamp, brown, has an engrav-
ing of a United States map showing the
territory purchased.
The new stamps are of the same shape
as the special delivery stamps and are
Il inches long by ! of an inch wide. They
will not be issued in book form, and all
postm asters have been instructed to keep
the corresponding denominations of the
regular current issue in stock, as the COM
memorative stamps are not to be sold
exclusively.
This is the first time that the portrait
of Washington has been removed from
any. two-cent stamp since the rates for let
ter postage were reduced on Oct. l, 1882.
The head of Washington was then trans
ferred from the old unit three-cent stamp
to the two, changing places with Jackson.
The placing of Jefferson's portrait on
two-cent stamps for seven months will
allow the people to see what he looked
like who was the great founder of demo-
crazy in America and who purchased that
vast Louisiana territory in the West, of
which more than doubled the area of the
United States and of which event the ex.
position is in commemoration.
In the regular issue, Jefferson's portrait
is only on the ffty-cent stamps.
