MANY RELICS in
POSTAL MESEUM
UNCLE SAM HAS STAMP
COLLECTION WORTH
100000.
Has all Varieties from Civilized
Countries Resides Other
Specimens.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Manv
men in the course of the differ
ent hobby periods of their youth
were struck with the stamp
craze" Nearly all will recall the
days that were spent in securing
the neigrhborhood for new varie-
ties, the hours at FASTING and
counting, as well as the many
other tasks they somehow mag
ined themselves duty bound to
perform.
This fact-that nearly all men
at some time in their life were
stamp collectors, said to account
for the popularity of the official
stamp collection of the United
States Postofice Department
maintained in connection with
the postal museum in this city.
Postofftce Department officials
say 100000 men cab every year
to see the museum stamp collec-
ton.
The Postoffice Department mu-
scum is not by any means a new
institution, but many notable adj
ditiOnS have been made TO 1t in
the last year. Consequently, it is
now quite full of int. esting OBJ
ieCtc It contains almost a,,a-x, d.
thing from lock of Charles Gui-
teauS haid to models If the big
battle shops OF the navy, but by
far its most interesting feature,
according to the officials in charge
is the stamp collection. Few Wis
tors miss that sight and many
Lobbyists spend hours pouring
over II.

far its most interesting feature,
according to the officials in charge
is the stamp collection. Few Wis
tors miss that sight and many
Lobbyists" spend hours pouring
over it.
Uncle Sam Big Collector.
Uncle Sam as a stamp collector
is most signal success. He not
only has complete set OF his own
stamps, but complete collection
from every other stamp-isSuing
country in the civilized world. as
well. His collection is valued by
the department. at 100000 but
stamp dealers say it would de-
mand figure many times that
sum if placed on the open market
for sale.
The fact that Uncle Sans
stamp collection is absolutely
complete is a s'ateme.lt difficult
to comprehend, even to those who
have been collectors themselves.
Most OF these who were collec-
tors in years gone by will remem-
Der how many empty places there
were in their albums when they
gloried in the possession of l, 800
and 1000 specimens. They will
recall how new varieties above
the 1000 mark cost from So to $50
each, also the small fortunes plac-
ed on some of the especially rare
specimens-the kind which the
dealers catalogues related had
only been printed to the number
OF 100 or so and but six or seven
were known to be in existence.
Well, Uncle Sans stamp col
lection possesses all of these be-
sides the thousands OF common
kinds. Although, it has taken hard
work, many years and tidy for
tune to do it, the collection TODAY
stands absolutely complete. The
only varieties yet to be added are
those yet to be issued.
Dead Letter Exhibit Rare.
In connection with this exhibit
is shown the collection of articles
from the Dead Letter Office. Re-
Gently mrttoscope picture ma
chimes have been added to the ex-
hibit These show through mo-
ton pictures the various opera
tons OF the postal service from
the time a letter is mailed to the
hour OF its final delivery.
The dead letter exhibit has
been taken to the Worlds Fairs
ami expositions held in several
American cities. On each instance
it has proven strong drawing
card, and the department receives
many requests to loan the dis
play ont to smaller eNpositions.
The postal museum includes
many articles of historical char
acter. Included in the collection
of models Of the battleships and
naval vessels, are the original
models of the Maine, Monitor
and Merrimac, and other famous
ships. A model of the first steam
vessel to carry the man across the
Atlantic ocean is also shown. The
name of this ship was the "South
erner' and before its maiden voy-
age but one steamer, the "Savan-
nah had made the trip. The
"SOutherner' is of further inter
est horically, as it was the first
ship to cross the ocean on steam
motive power alone. The "Savan-
NAH was equipped with both
paddle wheels and sails, and on
its early trips travelled with the
winds more than it went ahead
under steam. The "Southerner"
however, sailed entirely on steam
power
Stage Coach Feature.
Another interesting historical
feature of the museum is the old
Montana stage coach. This was
captured by Indians in 1877, but
recaptured by Gen. Howard after
