Rare Stamp Brings $4,000.

NEW YORK, December 24.-An unusual
United States postage stamp has just
found it's way into the collection of George
II. Worthington of Cleveland at a price
which, while the exact figures have not
been made public, is acknowledged to be
about $4,000. The stamp is a postmaster's
PROVISIONAL issued in Alexandria, Va, in
1877 and is printed on blue paper. Three
or four copies of the same stamp printed
on buff paper were previously known, but
this specimen Is the only one on blue
which has been discovered. The stamp
was on an old letter in the possession o.
Mrs. NJ. Fawcett, an old resident Of Alex
andria, and has been handed down
through the family and been preserved on
account of family associations. Recently
Mrs. Fawcett showed the stamp to local
collector. who recognized that it was o.
value. and told her So. Mrs. Fawcett
wrote a Boston stamp dealer who offered
her $500 for It, 1t finally found it's way
into the hands Of a stamp dealer in Phila-
deiphia who sold it to Mr.. Worthington.
Collectors here say there is no doubt that
while the price paid was fair one.
stamps bringing much less in this country
than they do in Europe, the specimen
would probably have sold for at least
So, 600 across the water.
