The new order issued by the post-office department relative to the marks indicating length of the service is that stars shall here after be used instead of stripes on their uniforms. A carrier who has served five years gets a black silk star; 10 years, two black silk stars ; 15 years, one red silk star ; 20 years, two red silk stars; 25 years, one silver star; 30 years, two silver stars; 35 years, one gold star; 40 years, two gold stars.

In Ann Arbor, Carriers Blum, O'Kane, Baxter and Donnelly, having seen more than 10 years' service, will wear two black stars. All the rest excepting Carriers Richmond and Farnum, will wear one star. Carrier Ware is nearing the two-star class.

The substitutes will be distinguished from the regular mail carriers by wearing a black cloth bar one fourth of an inch wide and one and a half inches long.
