New Iootal Molit J Drtlf r
The poMoHice department has adopted
a new style of money order winch it is
hoiH d will be moro convenient nnd nt
isfactory than the old pattcrnund which
will be gradually installed The new
orders nre considerably smaller thnn
those formerly used and much resemble
the bank draft in sio and shape Con
cerning tho new money order the Sioux
Uity Tribune says
They will bo accompanied by two
adjuncts tho advico from the olllce
where tho order is issued to the one
where it is to bo paid nnd a receipt to
the remitter The advice will be sim
ply a carbon reproduction of the order
and the receipt will also bo reproduced
in most particulars by tho carbon pro
cess On the baclc of tho order will be n
space for tho statu of banks through
which it may rass Tho paper will be
1 ght blue with lines in geometrical
lathe work pattrrn in a darker shade of
the same color In tho center will beau
escutcheon with tho words Postal Mon
ey Order in capital letters in two shades
of blue It is expected that the lathe
work cross hatching will afford an ef
fectual safeguard against counterfeiting
As an additional precaution however
there will bo a horizontal water mark
consisting of tho initials U S M O in
broad capitals
The use of the carbon process of v
production will not only permit the si
multaneous copying of tho order but
will lessen the chance for mistakes and
facilitate the dispatch of advices In
the past discrepancies between tho or
der and tho advice hnve frequently
caused much delay and unnecessary
correspoudenceBbetween postmasters at
different points It is anticipated that
the issuance of receipts to remitters will
give the latter an added feeling of secur
ity It will also greatly facilitate refer
ence to the records in the event of mis
takes or the loss of orders The size
and shape of tho orders will make it
possible to handle them conveuieutly
with other commercial paper
Brief reference is made in the an
nouncement of the new departure to the
establishment of the money order sys
tem in 1814 At that time there were
only -11 money order ollices in the
country There are now 80000 and dur
ing the past year 80000000 orders were
issued representing an aggregate of
120000000 It is added that a mater
ial reduction will be made in the price
of orders after January 1 1000

Fall River Mass News The pub
lisher of a newspaper has one thiug to
sell and one thing to rent He has the
newspaper to sell and the space iu his
columns to rent Can anyone inform
us why he should bo expected to give
away either the one or tho other He
can if he so chooses and he does as a
matter of fact furnish a great deal of
space rent free Rut it does not follow
that he ought to be expected to do so
It ought to be recognized as a contribu
tion exactly as would bo tho giving
away of sugar or coffee by a grocer
But strange to say it is not looked up
on in that light at all and yet every
body knows that the existence of n
mwspajHr depends upon the rt nt of Its
space and the sale of tho paper as a
merchants success depends on selling
his goods instead of giving them away

discharge a sum more than sulllcieut to
buy a railroad ticket to tho place of his
enlistment together with 25 cents lation

twenty miles traveled twenty miles
being tho army standard for a days
march It makes no dillereneo whether
they como home in a Pullman palace
car walk or stay where they woio
mustered out they receive their money
and can do what they please with it
As their fare is being paid by tho slate
the soldiers will of course have that
muchmoru money at their disposal
