ordinary type and some fancy border.
The stamp today is worth $1,000, or 1885,
F! 900 times it's face value before it was
used.
Each one of a set of our stamps issued
| for use in Moldavia, a province of Rou-
mania, in 1858, is rated of considerable
worth. These stamps were all prin ted
| by hand on colored paper. The cata-
! logue value of these stamps today is
! as follows:
! q paras. printed in black on rose
! paper, $500.
81 paras. printed in blue on green
! paper, S100.
1OS paras, printed in blue on rose
| paper 5000.
But the 81 paras printed in blue on
blue paper, is greater rarity than any
J of its companions. Catalogues do not
| generally give its value, but an unused
copy has sold for $3.50.
Rare United States Stamps
Among the rare stamps issued in this
country the provisional issue of the
postmaster at Millbury, Mass, stands
| near the top of the list. 1t Is of the
denomination of cents, was printed
in 1S47 and bears the portrait of
Washington. 1t was printed in black
on blush paper and is worth today
$500.
| Errors have contributed in no small
part to the value of some stamps, q
notable instance being the case of the
| Cape of Good Hope issues of 1861. In
making up a plate for printing the
penny stamps a careless employe in
serted a single 4-penny stereotype, and
1-penny cut therefore &C. in the A.
penny plate In consequence each
sheet of the 1 penny contained a 4
penny printed in red, while each sheet
Of the 4 penny contained 1 penny
, printed in blue. Very few of these
errors are known, however. The 1
penny blue, which is the rarer is worth
about $3.50. No unused copy is be-
lieved to exist.
The 8 lire. 1860, Tuscany stamp is
among the high priced varieties, an
unused copy being worth $500.
During the first British occupancy
of the Transvaal a 1 penny stamp was
printed with the word Transvaal spell
led Transvral. The error occurred once
in each sheet Of eight stamps, and this
error makes the particular stamp
worth about $3.50.
Few stamps Of any pretensions to
artistic designs are yet rated among
| the rarities, but among this few are
the 1859 issues Of Ceylon, notably the
and penny imperferate. These
stamps are regarded as works of art.
The penny has brought at sale as
high as $3.50.
There are great many other stamps
of high value. Specimens worth $10O
are common among large collections.
Enhanced value is often given copies
forming complete set of a particu-
lar issue, in some instances used
stamps are rated as of greater value
than unused of the same issue. This
Is true in marked extent in the case
Of the old Confederate stamps, the
worth of many of which is increased
IN the event genuine cancellation in
dicates it has passed through the nos
tai department of the Confederate gov
ernment.

PLAN CHAN GEs
IN OLD PATIO
PAR0CHIAL RESIDENCE TO BE
REMOVED
Modern Improvements Are to Take
the Place of Ancient Relics
at the Plaza Church
Grounds

Plans for the change of the parochial
residence of the old Plaza church are
being completed ready for the approval
Of Bishop Conaty, who will return from
the northern portion of the diocese
Tuesday. Walsh, Maginnis & Sullivan,
the diocesan architects, are preparing
the architectural plans.
AS now planned, the Improvements
will greatly assist in the parish work
and will not curtail the historical in
terest of the little adobe church.
The business block on Main street
will be erected north of the PALM bor-
dered walk, which will be left intact.
A mission arch will be erected at the
front of the church, extending north
and at the end OF the walk Cdjoining
the sacristy. Another mission arch will
give entrance to the reception rooms.
Back of these will be the parlors, Of
fees, dining room and kitchen and
houselkeeper's quarters. These will ex-
tend back toward New High street and
win form new patio. Arched clois-
ters. after the manner at San Juan
Capistranos will be erected around the
three sides of the court, and in the cen-
ter of this patio the old palm tree in
the present patio will have the place
of honor it has SO long occupied. A

picture here replied Renotiere, and
he produced from the depths of a
pocket card case tiny piece of paper
which he carefully held up for the in-
spection of his friend. This" he con-
tinued, "is far more costly than your
beautiful painting"
And pray what is it's value?" ex-
claimed his incredulous auditor.
''I prize 1t so highly" answered
Renotiere, that if you were at this
instant to offer me $4,000 for it 1 would
not take it,.
And the piece of paper that the
speaker delicately poised on his fingers
was merely postage stamp; not one
of the elaborately engraved and beau
tifully colored contrivances with which
the patrons of the mails are familiar,
but crude affair whose Typographical
appearance would not be indorsed by
the humblest printer in all Christen-
dom.
Most Precious Known
The stamp that Renotiere valued so
highly is the most precious of all the
gems in the realm of philately. 1t is
a British Guiana 1-cent issue of 1856,
and only one genuine specimen Of this
stamp is known to exist. While it's
owner estimates its worth at more
than $4,000, experts do not agree that
it would bring that figure if offered for
sale, but say they would have no diff
Guilty in diSposing of it for $4,000 to
$4,000.
This very valuable stamp was a pro-
duct of the infancy of stamps, for so
years ago this method of postage pay
ing was only in its experimental
stage, In 1856 British Guiana was
awaiting a supply of stamps from Eng
land and pending its arrival two pro-.
visional stamps were issued These
were crude affairs and were print d
from type set up in the office of the
| Official Gazette. AS it was desired to
give an artistic tone to the stamp the
printers stuck in the center an old
wood cut representing a brig in full
sail at sea. This picture was taken
from the columns of the paper in
which it was used to head the ship
ping advertisements. The stamps
printed from this design were of /
and Accent denominations, and it is the
former that is so rare. The Accent
stamp is priced in catalogues today at
$125 The single specimen of the 1
cent in existence is described as being
dark magenta in color and slightly
rubbed. 1t is initiated "E. d. W."
and dated April l, the year not being
distinct enough to be read.
Another Rare One
There is another stamp of British.
| Guiana that is great rarity. 1t was
| printed in 1852, and is of the 2-cent
variety. It's use was limited and but
II copies of this queer circular stamp
are known. 1t is worth $4,000 a copy.
although the 12-cent stamp of the same
design may be had according to cata-
logue, for $780,
The Post Office" Mauritius is one
of the most valuable stamps. 1t de-
rives it's title from the fact that the in
scription "Post Office was substi.
tuted for Post PAID by the watch
maker who engraved it. Five hundred
copies of the / penny and an equal

and social gatherings, will be erected
at the rear of the church and the
sleeping apartments will be in the sec
ond story.
A business block will also be erected
on New High street with four stores
the same number to be on the Main
street side This plan will utilize a
large amount of street space, and a
plock In depth, and will add greatly
to the revenue of the parish. which is
one of the poorest in the city.
The portion adjoining the church will
remain for coming generations, as it
mas SO many years, and the great black
cross will be removed nearer the
church, while its recent companion. the
El Canine Real bell, will be hung from
one of the mission arches.
1t is reported that the plans will be
approved by Bishop Conaty and that
work will soon be commenced on the
destruction of the brick rectory and
work commenced on the new stores.

SLAIN WITH BLUDGEON
IS C0R0NER'S THEORY

Portland, Ore, Oct 4.-Acting Gov
ernor Bagley Of Hillsboro is Convinced
that Harry Snyder. son Of R. M. sny-
der, the Kansas City millionaire, was
murdered. The coroner has ordered the
sheriff of Washington county to recon

the body. Of the bankers son was
found. ssSsE So ~
An examination of sSnyder's skull re-
vealed an INJURY at the base that must
have been made by a bludgeon and
which would have caused death.
The belief is spreading that Snyder
was murdered and his body secreted
because he knew too much about the
robbery of the Forest Grove bank last
year, tho it is not limited that he par
ticipated in that crime, which is al
legged to have been committed by George

The great problem Of the hour, the
