New Bahamas Stamp.

t)f interest to philatolists will be the announcement that a new postage stamp has been issued. It is specially designed for the mail service on the Bahama Islands and has been manufac-

tured for the British government by Whitfield, King & Co. of Ipswich, England. The issue is of the 1 penny series, and jvhile not remarkably ornate, is still. In a sense, artistic. The view in the center of the stamp is of a place locally known as the'"Queen’s Staircase.” The picture shows the new stamp considerably enlarged.
