A meeting of the Colonial Council was
held on Monday, at which His Excellency
the Governor was present.
One of the chief items of business was
the introduction of the Draft of Budget
for 189O-9l. His Excellency the Governor
introduced the Draft and explained the
principal differences between the items of
this Draft and of last years Budget. The
total estimated Revenue is Sl56,985, and
the total estimated Expenditure is
1854 ,633.78. The estimate of Revenue is
$l,143 less than last year, and the estimat-
ed Expenditure is $5,682 less than last
year. There was very little discussion,
and the Draft was referred later if the
meeting to a Committee of 5 members,
namely, Chief Justice Andersen, Lawyer
Stakemann and MesSrs. Hewitt, Lunny,
and Raphael.
Another leading item was the 2nd discus
sion on the proposed Bill for altering the
Colonial Law. Two proposals were before
the Council, that of the Committee appoint
ed to consider the Draft, recommending
that the Draft should not be furthered,
and that of the 3rd Member for Christian
Sted (Lemming) recommending, as an
amendment to the Committees proposal,
that certain changes should be made in
the proposed financial arrangements so as
to enable the contemplated Municipal
chest to start with % balanced account Of
rc7enue and expenditure. The Committees
proposal secured 10 votes, the amendment
only 3; consequently this Colonial Council
will report adversely to the measure.
In the same meeting the taxes on Rum
Shops were fixed for 3 years at the same
amounts as have been fixed for the past
3 years.
The remaining business was mostly of a
o rmal character.

THE MONEY ORDER SYSTEM.
Some Facts Worth Knowing in Dealing
With Postoffices.

Some Facts Worth Knowing in Dealing
With Postoffices.
The object and aim of this important
branch of the Postoffice Department is to
promote public convenience, and to secure
greater security in the transmission of
money through the mail.
Few people realize the vast amount of
business daily transacted through this me-
dunn.
Remittances are daily made to different
parts of the world, and the assurance that
funds intrusted to the Department are
proof against loss is rapidly adding to the
volume of business now transacted.
Blank forms of application for money
orders are furnished, and have been so SIM
plified that very little difficulty need be ex-
perienced in the preparation of the same.
All that is required is the name of the
applicant, the name and address of the
party to whom the order is to be paid. as
well as the amount.
Many persons imagine this a difficult
task, but few moments of calm deliber-
alton upon the part of any person of ordi-
nary ability will be all that is necessary.
Too much care can not be exercised in
the preparation of an application, as it is in
reality the foundation of money order.
From il all facts are taken, an error in
which often causes great delay and incon-
venience.
In procuring a money order for a mar
RED woman, she should be described by
her own name, and not by that of her hus-
band.
In case of the loss of money order in
transmission or otherwise, duplicate will
be issued by the Superintendent of the
Money Order System upon application.
The loss should be promptly reported to
the issuing or paying Postmaster. who i'm
mediaiely institutes search for the miss.
ing order; II unsuccessful, application will
then be made for the issuance of dupli-
cafe thereof, without any expense to the
owner of the original order.
A money-order becomes invalid if not
presented for payment within one year
from the date Of issue, for this reason an
order should be presented for payment as
soon as practicable after its receipt.
Upon the purchase of money. order it
should be examined to ascertain whether
ii has been properly filled up and stamped,
as any defect in these respects will cause
delay in payment.
When money-order is presented for
payment at the Postoffice upon which it is
drawn, the clerk is compelled to use all
proper means to assure himself that the
person presenting the same is the person
intended in his letter of advice
To satisfy himself it becomes necessary
for him to PROFOUND a number of oues-
tons, to which a great many people take
exceptions, which is mistake on their
part, as it serves as protection to their in
! terests as well as TO the clerk.
When the fact is known that If q money
order is paid to the wrong person, through
lack Of precaation on the part of the clerk,

ment announces that forty stations will
be established in the metropolis, where
any kind of postal stamps, cards, envelopes
and wrappers may be procured at official
prices. The local press of San Francisco
need return no thanks to this journal for
having secured the reform referred to-
our purpose was to serve the convenience
of the 'transients" who in all the past
during visits to the Bay city have had to
chase for weary hours over the rough
ways of that billy place to secure single
postage stamp, at even double the official
price Some time ago seven stations, in
Guiding the branch Postoffice, were estab-
lished, but they were in remote parts and
wholly inadequate. The establishment of
forty new stations will, however, meet the
need to which the RECORD UNION called
attention.

Albert victor's Lions.

The Duke Of Clarence and Avondale
has just presented to the Geological Gar
dens the two lions which have been sent
to him from the Kallywar district in In
dia. The members OF the Geological So
ciety no doubt are glad enough to receive
the present, but the Princes friends and
attendants are good deal more glad that
the present should be made. The Prince.
it seems, had fancy for keeping the mon
sters himself, a la Bernhardt, and those
who live with him by no means appre-
ciated being called upon to be close neigh
bors TO wild beasts. Fortunately, how
ever, Albert Victor lives in mortal dread
Of ridicule; few well-aimed jests, there
fore, were enough to make him renounce
his project and send his latest pets to the
geological, where no doubt he win visit
them frequently.

He Knew How to Fiddle.

A census agant assigned to the work OF
collecting the statistics of the fish and
fisheries of South Carolina would have
made failure of it had he not known
how to eddie At the town where he ex-
pected to accomplish the largest part Of
his task every one was as dumb as an
oyster. In despair of obtaining any in
formation he went into store to listen to
man who was playing fiddle. When
the man had finished his tune he picked
up the instrument and sounded two OF
three notes with the bow The crowd in
sisted that he should play, and he gave
them two or three lively airs in the style
of a master. From that time he was the
hero of the community and everybody was
only too glad to fill him with figures re.
garding the fish interests of the place.
Porter, to whom this case has been re-
ported, probably regrets that he didn't
employ more fiddlers.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-08-26

he is held responsible for such payment, it
justified in exercising great care, as the
salary allowed the average money order
clerk will not permit of duplicate pay
ments.
1t should be borne in mind that money
order is payable TO no one except the per-
son in whose favor it is drawn-unless in
dorsement is made on the back thereof
Wives often present money orders drawn
in favor of their husbands without the
proper Endorsement having been made, the
result being that the clerk must refuse paw
ment.
A great many people are of the opinion
that money order may be procured pay
able at any postoffice.
This is an erroneous idea, as only such
offices as are specially designated as money
order offices are allowed to issue or pay
money orders.
Office is q money order Office, request the
offices.
An order may be obtained for any
amount from l cent to 500
When larger sum than 500 is required
additional money orders to make it up
must be obtained; three orders for 500
each in favor of the same payee is all that
can be issued during one-day.
The course to be pursued in obtaining a
foreign or international money order IS
similar to the manner of procuring do
nestle or ordinary order. with the excep-
ton that different form of application is
used.
A few words regarding postal notes may
prove instructive as well as Interesting:
For the transmission of small sums,
under IS. through the mails the Postmas-
ter-General has authorized the issuance of
what is termed postal notes."
A written application is not required
from the purchaser of postal note. as it is
from the purchaser of money order, and
any number may be purchased.
money order office which renders them a
amounts.
If lost no duplicate thereof can be OBJ
tanned.
A postal note becomes invalid if not
presented for payment within three months
from the last day of the month of issue.
In order to secure payment of such note
the holder should apply to the Postmaster
for duplicate thereof, which will be is
sued, an additional fee of 3 cents being
charged.
The observance of few suggestions here
presented will be of service both to the
public and clerk:
l. Be prepared to furnish the full name
and address of the person to whom you de-
sire to remit
2. Do not retain the order given you by
the clerk as receipt, but forward it to the
payee. as it will be impossible to secure
payment without it,
g. Refer to the table giving the rates of
commission, which will be found on the
back of the application, and ascertain the
am cunt of fees necessary.
Be prepared to state definitely whether
you desire money order" or a postal
note"
5. Bear in mind the fact that a money order
clerk is thrown in contact with all sorts of
natures and dispositions. and it is not to be
wondered at that his temper sometimes
gets control of him.
