XMAS MONEY ORDERS.
Money Going Out Of the Country in
Small Sums.

The usual holiday rush of callers at the
postoffice has uot yet fairly set in. Be
yond small influx of merry, anticipat-
ing school girls and boys depositing let
lers and small packages Mt noon there
was no perceptble increase in the num-
bers of callers this morning
Assistant Clerk Bumstead said the rush
would probably begin this afternoon or
tomorrow. The Iclerks in the Money
Order and Registered Letter Department
have been quite busy, and the carriers
had ell left the office with bulging mail
bags to distribute the contents along
their respective routes.
The main rush so far was noted Tues
day and Wednesday of last week just
before the various European steamships
started with the last mails to reach
Europe before Christmas.
Assistant Postmaster Ely said this
morning that the business done through
Departments was far ahead of that of
any other year during the few
weeks preceding the Christmas.
Foreigners, many OF whom have not yet
been long enough in the country to speak
English, came with rush in the early
money to their friends in the Old World.
Four hundred and sixty foreign
money orders approximating $4,000.
ranging in amounts of from IS to 500,
and 237 domestic orders, approx m ating
$4,000, had been issued from the Jersey
City office. The money orders re-
ceived on this side the ocean is
not worth mentioning. Seven hum
dred and sixty domestic orders, aggre--
eating s6.5o0, and six hundred and
ninety postal notes, aggregatina S6c0, had
been met and paid. The foreign mails
are bringing in lots of letters and pack
ages of all shapes and sizes. The
bulk of presents going in and out mot
counting money orders and registered
letters) appear to be Christmas cards
One hundred and forty money orders
were drawn on the Office this morning,
Commenting upon the habits OF the
foreign element sending money to Europe,
Mr.. Ely said the faith of foreigners In the
postal department of this country was
striking. Nearly all of them simply slap
down the money on the glass shelf and
ask no more questions, and If they were
not bailed in time would rush off with
out even receipt.

W0MAN'S MISTAKES.
Pastor Halleron Points Some Of
Them Out to Her.

The Rev. David Halleron preached an
interesting sermon to large congrega-
tton al st. Paul's Methodist Church.
Third street. last evening. The subject
was "Woman's Mistakes" and the
preacher gave some excellent advice TO
the fair sex.
"Tne woman of today" said he, thinks
too much of dress, she seems to think
that when she dresses fashionably her
mission in life is performed. Or course
find no fault with woman who dresses
neatly and modestly, but do find fault
with her when she neglects her church
duties in order to show her friends her
new dress at reception. Unfortuna tely
there are many young ladies who would
in many cases prefer TO strut around ike
peacock at q reception than attend the
church prayer meeting. They, like
the peacock, like to show
their fnery. Many women, am sorry
simply because their dress is not of the
latest style. To such l would say that
the sooner they are washed in the blood
of the Lamb the better. The woman who
would allow such Il small matter AS dress
to stand between her and Christ is no
Christian.
Another fault that see in the woman
of today is her neglected education,
NEGLECTED EDUCATION.
"There L. no reason why her brother
should receive better education than
she does. Her education should in no
way be neglected. She should be
able to support herself in
case she was thrown on the world. The
world owes her living, and | believe in
teaching young ladies the practical things
of today so that they can earn living.
Many people argue that a young lady's
place is in the household. and say that
she should only receive such an education
as would fit her to properly take care OF
it. This is nonsense, and the sooner they
get rid of the idea the better.
1.-THE young ladies today also like TO
shine in society This is all well and good.
but they should not forget that Christ
died to save them, and if they must shine
in society let it be the church society. 1t
is there that woman's true character Is
shown, and it is my consent prayer that
the time may soon come when the young
ladies will consider it the highest honor
totake prominent part in Church work. !"
