HAYWOOD J (HE FIRST SAMPLE RECEIVED BY THE ALAMEDA'S MAIL Description of Design from a London Newspaper Protrait of King By Emily Fuchs The Sculptor. E. I. Spalding, cashier of tho bank of Claus Sprcckcls & Co., showed a Bulletin reporter at tho postomce yes terday afternoon specimens of tho first Urltlsh postage stamps bearing King Edward VII.'b portrait to reach Hono lulu. These wore on a letter from Glasgow Just delivered amongst tho Alameda's mall. In this connection the following de scription of tho now stamps by a writer In the London News, who was given a glimpse of them whllo going through tho press, will be Interesting to collectors: "Tho portrait has been executed from a design by Mr. Emll Fuchs, the sculptor, who, It will be remembered went to Osborne after the death of Queen Victoria to make a enst of her majesty's face. The new stamp shows the profile of the King, which has a dignified, somewhat severe, and stato ly expression. It Is the reigning mon arch, and not the 'first gentleman la Europe-' that Is here depicted. The pic ture Is natural, grows on one, ami Is likely to bo popular. Tho slight bald ness of tho crown rot Ills Majesty's head Is Indicated, ami tho moustache strongly marked. Tho features aro thrown Into strong relief by being In closed In a, deeply shaded oval. Tho fare turns to the left, like that of the late Queen In tho present Btamps. On tho coinage It Is customary to roverso the profile with each socrclgn, but ou a stamp, If tho face turned to the right, It would bo looking off the let ter, stamps being usually placed at tho right hand top corner. King Edward la far too courteous to turn his back on tho addressee In that way. "On the left side of the oval Is a rurv d branch of pay leaves, with ber ries. I was assured that tho branch was bay It might have been privet for an) thing I knew. To the right Is a branch of oak, the"pecullarly Shaped leaes being easily recognized. Above the oal la an Imcprlal crown, sur mounted by cross and ball, and on either side of this forming an arch broken by the crown aro two curved labels, with tho words, "Postage and Revenue," In white letters. A straight tnblct below tho oval shows tho value of the stamp, also in white letters. The designs of the sage green halfpenny stamp, tho red penny one and the blue twopence half-penny are the same, ex cept for tho values named on the label at tho bottom. "The change from tho lavender of the" present penny stamp to the red of the new ono Is to bring this country Into lino with tho other countries of tho Postal Union Tho Postal Conven tion decided some year ago that green, red and blue should be the col ors of tho thrco principal stamps In use. England Is the last country to conform to tho regulation as regards its penny stamp. Tho corresponding French" ten centlmo stamp, and the German ten pfennig, aro red. The Ca nadian two-cent has been changed from purple to red, and tho Indian one anna from plum color to red. Tho United States have also the regulation colors of green for one cent, red for two cents, and bluo for flvo cents. Tho blue of the flvc-cent American stamp Is a rich, deep ultramarine; quite unllko the turquoise of tho French 25 cen time."

I Tho fact that they turned Into tho dark alley deterred him from further pursuit for to follow them Into such a dangerous hole would havo given him no chance against two men.
