When the rain began TO fall and the
play at 81. Louis yesterday was
brought TO a close, before the teams

the opposition for one big run right
IN the first inning on singles by Craw
ford and Rossman and Cobb's double,
and one OF the most remarkable
games OF the season had been won
right there, though this phase CT the
situation didn't develop until the rain

AFTER CHINA's $50, 100000.
Foreign Firms Expect to Secure Big
Contracts for Naval Equipment.

PEKIN, March 9.-Financial repre-
sentatives of no less than ten of the
most important shipbuilding and ar
NOR manufacturing concerns of Great
Britain, Germany and France are here
looking for contracts. This activity
is induced by the belief that China
is about to expend $50,000,000 in ma
val equipment Whether this is so
or not is not yet definitely known,
but in any event it is probable that
the Government will let contracts for
the building of training ships and riv-
err boats and the construction of va
rious docks and wharves.
Since the beginning of the year
China has been successful in placing
several railroad loans. The total OF
the amount thus secured is 1872, 100000
OF this sum, $17,50O,OO0 has been ap
portioned for the redemption of con
cessions, and the foreign holders OIL
the largest concessions in China are
hoping to sell their privileges back
to the Government.

Got Change in a Wheelbarrow

One of the many surprises for eastern
visitors at the recent democratic con-
vention in Denver was the general use
OF iron dollars'-that is, silver-to the
exclusion of paper money. 1t is related
that well heeled' Tammany man
passed $1,000 bill over the bar of a
leading hotel and waited for his change.
Tom said the bar tender, turning to
the colored porter, take Is cents out Of
that and hand the gentleman his
change. The negro never turned hair.
He took the bill, walked around to the
stockroom and in 40 seconds came
trundling wheelbarrow UP to the front
OF the bar. He stopped in front of the
New York man, pulled a tarpaulin off
the wheelbarrow load, touched his hat
and said "Yo' change, sah.' There was
the change-999 silver dollars and a %

First London Penny Post

The promised extension of penny pos
tage to America gives topical interest
to the publication of an authoritative
history of the first London penny post
in the Stamp Lover, a new monthly
magazine for stamp collectors. The
penny post of 1850 was devised by one
Robert Murray. an upholsterer, and was
carried on by William Dockwra, of the
customs service. the latter being the
seventeenth century prototype of Row
land HILL 1t is curious to note that
this penny post gave the London dis
trict in 1880 a more frequent service
than it has had in modern times, de-
liveries and collections being made
every hour of the day. The difficulties
of delivery will be in a measure un-
derstood when 1t is noted that the
names of the streets were not posted
up and the houses were not numbered,
it being left for an act of parliament
in 1867 to provide for these Improves
