ASSISTANT POSTMASTER GENERAL HAZEN TELLS THE STORY OF THE STAMPS—THE CHANGE IN = COLOR—THE REASONS FOR MAKING NEW DE- SIQNS—CURIOUS FACTS Faow ws TORY. The new postage stamps are in the market and the man who for the past five years has Browled incessantly because had to decorate his envelopes with greeu stamps may now, for & financial consideration, rejoice in the posses- sion of philatelistical beauties that are car- mine tinted and just as cheap as the old emerald arrangements, If there is a man in the United States who knows all about native postage stamps that individual is Third Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral Hazen, under whose supervision the new issue of stamps was designed, and of hima Stam | Feporter this morning requested information 4&8 to the old stamps, when were they first used? “Our first postage stamps,” said the general, “appeared in 1547, the denominations being 5 and 10 cents. These lasted until 1851, when letter postage was reduced to 3 cents, A new Series Of stamps was then introduced, the first issue consisting of 1 and 3-cent stamps only, | Afterward the series was enlarged by the addi- tional denominations of 5, 10, 12, 24, 30 and 90 centa, The next series came in 1861 and for acurious. reason. When the war of the rebellion broke out there was avast quantity of stamps out- standing in the hands of postmasters in the southern states. These stamps were scatttered broadcast, the postmasters doubtless supposing they would never be called upon to account for them. For the protection of his department and to avoid rendering ap equivalent in service for stamps that had never been paid for Post- master General Blair prompt!y deciared that upon a given date all stamps previously issued would no longer be valid for postage. Only a short time was allowed and holders were given notice that during the interval the stamps would be redeemed if presented for the pur- 7 ‘This was immediately followed by arew of stamps, known as the series of 1361.” THE sTaMPs oF "69. “How low did that serics last?” “It was replaced in March, 1869, by a new issue, popularly known as the ‘horseback, steam boat and railroad stamps.’ The sup- Posed ‘fitness of things’ did not strike the } = in that light, and, owing to the unpopu- ity of the stamps, they were superseded in | May, 1870, by a new issue. In this series return was made to the custom which had prevailed from 1847 to 1869 of adorning the stamps with the portraits of deud American celebrities. The people were glad to see Washingtor et al. back again, and the new stamps were pronounced a success. The series of 1870 was discontinued on the 22d of February, 1890, but in the ixter- veniug twenty years 60 many changes had been made in the designs and colors that the origiual series is hardly recognizable in the stamps just passing into postal history. The late series therefore lasted twenty years.” THEIR AVERAGE LIFE. “What was the average life of the previous issues?” asked the reporter. “There were four different issues from 1347 to 1869. and their average duration was there- fore five anda half years. ‘The changes I re- ferred to were in colors aud took place mainly in the latter part of 1837. Ido not recall the exact date, as I was notin the department at the time.’ There were previously, however, some modifications in the designs and colors, occasioned principally by changes in the rates of postage. The design of the I-cent stamp was changed in 1887. The head of Franklin was allowed to remain, but it was re-euzraved and a new border was substituted. It con- tinued to be printed in ultramarme blue. The 2-cent stamp, originally printed in brown, was changed to vermilion in 1875, for the reason that the 10-cent stamp being printed ina slightly different shade of the same color the two denominatious were frequently confounded with each other. “On the Ist of October, 1883, letter postage was reduced from 3 cents to 2 cents; and, since Washington had always filled the leading place in the various issues, a new 2-cent stamp bear- ing his portrait was gotten out, replacing the head of Jackson on the old one. It was printed in metallic red, but this color was changed in 1887 to a hght green, “The 3-cent stamp, not representing any single rate of D gone was discontinued; but some demand having arisen its issue was shortly resumed. As before, it was printed in dark green, but in 1887 this color was sup- planted by vermilion. The 4-ceut stamp was adopted in 1383 to meet the new double rate of letter postage. The head of Jackson, aben- doned on the 2-cent denomination, was placed on the uew stamp. It was printed in dark green, and this was changed to carmine in 1887. The 5-cent stamp was introduced in 1875 to meet the uniform foreign letter rete estab- lished by the international postal convention of 1874 It bore the head of Zachary ‘Taylor and was printedin deep blue. In 189i the old design was replaced with a new one, bearing ead of Gartied and printed in chocolate. This color gave way to a steel blue in 1887. “The 6-ceut stamp, bearing the bust of Lin- coln, introduced in 1370, remained unchanged in design and color (cochineal red) up to the present time. The seme was the case with the 10-cent stamp, containing the head of Jeffer- son and printed in light brown, and also with the 15-cent stamp with the protile of Webster, in orange. “The 20-cent containing the bust of Hamilton and printed m biack. went unchanged in design and color until 1887, when it appeared in brown, without any alteration of the design. “The 9-cent stamp, containing the handsome features and symmetrical head of Perry, with beautiful and appropriate surroundings, was also left untouched im design, but in 1887, the gallant commodore was stripped of his dress of carmine and robed in royal purple. “The series originally embraced a 12-cent mp, with the bust of Henry C! printed in & neutral tint of Farle, and a 12-cent stamp, — the head of Wintield Scott, im pure pur- ple. “A T-cont stamp, bearing the profile of'Stan- ton, was added shortly after the introduction of the series in 1870; but this denomination, as well as the 12 and 2i-cent stamps, was discon- tinued ow the Ist July, 1875.” WHY CHANGES WERE MADE. “Was there any necessity for a change in the Styles at the present time ?” “Changes were not strictly necessary,” said e general; ‘but there were some good reasons for them. There are no works of art subjected to such general inspection and such severe crit- icism as postage stamps. They are used by | everybody, and the stamp collecting fraternity, whose number is legion, scrutinize the work | down to its minutest details, The stamps go abroad in large numbers, and by many people the tastes of a country are judged by its post- age stamps. There is a friendiy rivalry among the different nations to excel in the styles of their stamps. The stamps of this coantry occupy high place, if not the very highest, in opinion of impartial critics; and they have Often been commended by the postal adminis- trations of other countries. So many changes, | asl have shown, were made that some con- fusion existed amo the publie and postmasters as to different stamps Which were stili current. Each stamp repre- sented the taste of its maker, and the changes had thrown the series out of harmony in ar- Fangement. “It was like a house built in sec- | tions or wings at different times and by differ- ent architects; each part was weil enough by itself, but as a whole the appearance was un- sightly. For instance, im the styles first issued in 1870 the top of the stamp bore the legend ‘U.S. Postage’ in rather conspicuous charac- ters, detracting sumewhbat from the effect of the portraits, In the lat tions this legend ‘was changed to the words ‘United States Post- age’ in small round letters, so.as to make it appear asa partof the ornamentation of the THE EVENIN EXIT THE GREEN, “Were the complaints,” asked the reporter, “about the sickly green stamp deserved?” “Nil de mortuis nisi bonum,” replied Gen.

Judge Alvey Decides the Sulit Brought at Hagerstown: HE GAYS HE WILL APPOINT PRACTICAL MEN AND LIMIT THEIR POWER TO CREATE FURTHER IN- DEBTEDNES#—A REVIEW OF THE CANAL'S CON- DITION AXD OF THE RECENT LITIGATION, Judge Alvey of the circuit court of Washing- from mere | ten county, Md. has prepared a long decision in the Chesapeake canal case, refusing to order an immediate sale of the property and deciding to appoint receivers. The opinion will be an- nounced today. Judge Alvey im reviewing the Hazen. ‘+I was not in the department when it | © #8y8: was adopted, and I had no fault to find with it, There have been two bills filed against the as it went just as far on my letters as the red- | @hesapeake and Ohio canal company and dish brown stamp had done, There were good reasons for the popularity of the reddish brown stamp.

The design was got- ten up and engraved with unusual care, an: is a nodel of simplicity and symmetry. Wash- ington stands out in bold relief, with just sufticient accessories to give character to the work as a postage stamp, and these were subor- dinated in such a way as to leave the best ef- fects with the portrait, The color was selected in advance of the final adoption of the design, and the engraving was fitted to the color in such way us to display the best effects of light and shade. Notasingle detail of the stam: was overlooked, and the original models passed many times between the department and the artists in New York for criticism and altera- tion. For botii the reasons given it is no won- der that the people parted with the reddish brown stamp as with an old friend. I haven't said that the green stamp was generally un- popular, IsaidI had uo criticisms to make when the color was changed.” THE ESTHETICS OF IT. “But was not the stamp as pretty in green as in the reddish brown?” suggested the reporter. “That is a very different question. The mat- ter of colors is one of individual tastes. Green isone of the best of the standard colors for printing and most excellent effects are produced from it. The shade selected was rather light and, besides, the engraving was not adapted to | the color. When the change of colors was de- cided upon the first step should have been to require a re-cngraving of the dies and plates, with a modification of the light and shading of the design. ‘The J-cent stamp of 1870 was origi- nally priuted in green, and so was the 4-cent stamp introduced in 1883, Both stamps looked well and no fault was found with either of them. To illustrate what I have said about the adaptability of color to engraving com- pare the green S-cent stamp with the 2cent stamp of the same color, In the former you will notice that the back- ground of the oval is heavily shaded, leaving the head, with its lighter lines, to stand out in strong relief. In the two-cent stamp the! background appears much lighter, without a corresponding weakening of the lines of the | face and head. ‘The lack of strong contrast gives the stamp an appearance of tameness which docs not appear in either the green three-cent stamp or the reddish brown two- cent stamp. The want of harmony between engraving and color would constitute a reason for revising the other denominations in which the colors had been changed without an alter- ation of design. Hence the new issues of 1890, “The new stamps ought to be popular. Aj great deal of time and thought have been spent on them. The work, when finished, looks easy; but there is more in it than you :magine." BILLIONS OF STAMPS. “How many stamps are used annually?” queried Tue Star man. “The total number of the late series issued during the last fiscal year was 1,963,536,490, valued at $37,996,! and of these 1,408,440,900 | were 2 cents, Valued at 28,163,818."

Washington Correspondence New York Times, Wasninxotox, Feb. 20.—Itis a long time since any committee of either house of Congress has had to deal with such puerile “charges,” pre? sented with so little reason and backed up with such a lack of proof, as those which the civil service committee of the House took up last night at the instigation of Mr. Frank Hatton and Representative Ewart, who would find it more profitable to attend to his dilapi- dated fences in North Carolina than to display his ignorance of the doings of the civil ser- vice commission, The committee had been} in session only a very short time when it be- came evident to everybody in the room that | Hatton and Ewart had no case against the | civil service commissioners and only a very hazy notion of what they were talking about, If it had not been for the earnest desire of the | commissioners to meet any insinuation their accusers could make, the committeemen would have turned the ex-Postmaster General and | the Congressman out of the place and promptly closed the hearing. for they were disgusted with the performances of Hatton and Ewart and did not h Je to say so. When Commissioner Lyman, who was the first witness called, was put upon the stand Mr, Ewart examined him at great length upon | the old charge that his relative. A. GC. Catnp- bell, an employe of the commission. had given & copy of obsolete examination papers to a lady who wanted to be examined for promo- tion in one of the departments, The North Carolina Congressman paid no attention to the regular established forms of examination and the wide latitude and irregularity of his questions provoked repeated “pro- tests irom members of the committee, Mr. Lyman, however, was ready to answer any question, and all'the commissioners de- sired the prosecution to lave every opportun— ity to make up a case if it could, So Mr Ewart was permitted to goon us be pleased. After his attempts to show that the Campbell case | very bad had led the committee to the op- posite conclusion Mr. Ewart undertuok to show that Commissioner Lyman had been guilty of favoritism toward his daughter. The committee in disgust objected to going iuto this subject, but Mr. Lyman asked leave to answer Mr. Ewart’s questions, He showed that his daughter, who was eighteen years old, bad applied to be examined | under the civil service rules. Before she was cxamined the rules were ehanged so as to require applicants to be twenty years of age. ‘Che comtatssion had al- ways held that the question of eligibility should be determined under the conditions applicable when an application was made, and Miss Ly- man and others in the same category were duly examined After Mr. Ewart had asked all sorts | of questions about this subject aud had wasted aboutan hourof the committee's time some- body asked when Miss Lyman was appointed, ‘The answer was that although she had passed the examination she had uever received an ap- pointment. The committee's patience nenrly gave out at this evidence of the way their time was be- ing frittered away for nothing. but Ewart was | allowed to go back to the Campbell case und | ask alotof additional questious on that al-| ready exhausted topic. Then Ewart and | Hatton still further disgusted the committee by | askiug for a postponement of the hearing. | Commissioners evelt and Thompson were auxious to go upon the stand, but Hation de- clared that he didn’t care to cxamine them, ‘The committee did want to hear them, how- ever, and Mr. Roosevelt made o statement and answered some of Ewart’s absurd ques- tions, Finally Mr, Koosevelt made an emphatic demand to know whether avy charges. were made against the present commission, and if so what the charges were. Mr. Ewart promptly capped the climax of his perform nce by re plying that there were no charges whatever | sguinst the present commission. Mr. Hatton, however, asserted that the commission had framework.

In both of these bills it is charged that the canal is in a broken and waste condition, and thatthe company is and has been for a long time past in default in paying overdue interest and mecting its obligations; that it is hopelessly insolvent, and that it is no longer able to maintain and operate its work, and that it has, to all intents and purposes, abandoned the canal, with no prospect what- ever of being able to resume operation. The relief prayed for by the first bill is that there be a receiver appointed to take charge of the property and works of the company and to mepee and operate the canal for the purpose of raising revenue with which to pay off the debts of the company and for general relief. And by the second bil the relief prayed is that the mortgage of 1878 be fore- closed, and all the property embraced in the mortgage, including the canal itself and the franchises of the company, be sold under a de- cree of the court, and, until such sale can be made, that a receiver be appointed to take charge of the property and to repair und oper- ate the work. he first bill is filed against the canal company and the trustees named in the mortgage of 1878, and the second bill is against the canal company and the trustecs acting under the mortgage made to secure the bonds issued under the act of 1844. The defendants have all answered except the trustees for the’ bond holders under the act of 1844. QUESTIONS CONSIDERED. The following questions are considered in the decision: canal company in pursuance of the of the act of the general assembly of First. Has the canal company, as the debtor ofthe complainants, any right or standing in court to resist the appointment of reccivers or to insist upon the immediate sale of all its property aud franchises for the reasons stated inits answer? Second. Hus the state of Mary- land, as a deferred or subordinate lien holder, in view of the provisions of the acts of assembly referred to, any right to resist the appoint- ment of receivers and to insist upon an im- mediate sale of the work? Third, Have the intervening bond holders, either those under the act of 1844 or those under the act of 1878, any right, under the circumstances of the case, to resist the appointment of receivers and in- sist upon,the sale of the canal, notwithstanding the trustees representing the bond holders ask for receivers and not for an immediate sale? A complete and comprehensive review is made of the history of the canal from its or- ganization by act of the Virginia legislature. During the early periods of the embarrassment of the company that this state (Maryland), by large subscriptions to the siock and ihe loan of ite credit, became creditor to the extent of sev- eral million of dollars, As security for these loans and the guaranty given on the subscip- tions to stock the state exacted liens and mort- gages upon the entire works and property of the company and of the tolls and revenues that might be received. This aid, however. proved quite insufficient, and after the caual had been constructed to dam No. 6 all further work ceased for the wantof money, It was in this state of affairs that, in 1844, another appeal was made to the state for aid. This appeal was yielded to, not by the loan of money but by the waiver of all priority of liens in ‘favor of bonds that might be issued by the compuny to the extent of £1,700,000—that being the amount supposed to be necessary to complete the canal to Cumberland. ‘This waiver on the part of the fate, and authority to th> canal company to issue preferred bonds, was effected by the act of 1844, chapter 281, passed onthe 10th of March, 1845. THE PRESENT CONDITION OF THE CANAL. The decision further reviews the various business complications, stating the conditions in the issue of other bonds and showing the status of the state of Marylaud as regards the canal. Coming to the present condition of the canal the decision states that there is no controversy as to its broker condition and as to the utter insolvency of the company, and that interest has not been paid on the 1844 bonds since 1854 and that the priucipal is overdue and unpaid; that, in fact, the canal is going to utter waste andruin. There can be no doubt, the judge says, therefore, that these facts are amply sufli- cient, both upon principle and authority, and expecially in view of the express stipulations for possession in the event of defaults by the company, to entitle the complainants to the ap- poiutment of receivers, veral cases are cited to show the decision of the courts under similar circumstances that the Lends should be preferred over all other debts. RECEIVERS TO BE APPOINTED, In conclusion Judge Alvey says: Upon the whole I cannot doubt as to the right of the complainants to have receivers placed in charge of the canal andall the property and effects of the company within the limits of this state. I shall, therefore, appoint receiv- ers, But itis not tobe understvod that be- cause receivers are appointed it is tu follow as matter of course that power is to be conferred on them to issue certificates to constitute addi- tional liens or charges on the property. That will depend upon what may be shown to be the actual condition of the work, the amouut re- quired to put it in good repair, the fuasibility of restoring to the operation of the canal a sufficient number of boats and boatmen, with @ reasonably certain prospect of such un amount of tonnage as will pay not only ordi- nary expenses but yield a revenue applicable to the payment of the interest on the preterred debt, Without this it would be simply an ex- perimeut of doubtful success and which might prove disastrous to the bond holders having the preferred liens, Assuming the power of sale to be available, the boud hoiders under the act of 1878 would be entirely secure in the sal- able value of the canal, provided there be no superior liens created. But the situation of those standing behind them is very different and the rights of the deferred lien hoiders must not be secrificed or impaired by experi- ments of doubtful propriety. PRACTICAL MEN TO BE CHOSEN, In the selection of receivers I shall aim to get men of practical knowledgs and experience in the operation of the canal, and of reliable judgment as to the future prospects of the work, They must, of course, be impartial as between all the parties concerned and the con- tlicting interests involved, umd as they will be the olncers and represenatives of the court I shail require that they be residents of the state pat subject at all times to the immediate control and jurisdiction of the court, And if, after being furnished with such information as the receivers may be able to furnish as to the condition of the canai und the probable cost of repuirs and the feasibility of operating the work, it shall be determined that it is not prac- tucal or wise consistently with the rights and interests of those concerned that any attempt should be made to restore and operate the work by the creation of additional preferred liens, then it will become necessary to consider and determine the question of sale, Until then that question will not be decided.
