We understand that some road orders are
sold at 335 per cent. discount. This should
not be and ought to be corrected.-Adrocdte.
We are informed by those who disburse
the public money that orders are promptly
paid when presented and not by them dis
counted. If holders of claims against the
county subject themselves to shave" OF
their paper, it is not improbable it is because
said paper has not yet reached the stage OF
all "order' of the court upon the sheriff, but
is simply an open account transferred. 1t
is not uncommon 10 see the published state
ment of an order TO John Jones for the use
of Samuel Smith. Such an order is so made
because the open account has been trans
ferred by Jones tn Smith aud then presented
TO the court for an order upon the sheriff.
When man knocks off q third of his &C
count he must be in dire need of ready
money. II may be proper just here to re-
mark that Deputy Sheriff Alexander said to
us that if the county court would authorize
the road supervisors of Charles Town dis
trict TO certify to him accounts of road work
ers, he would pay them upon presentation,
thus preventing the delay incident, as now,
to the waiting on term of court.

Very Good Prospects of tho Measure Be-
coming Law.
LONDON, Feb. 23-The peers today
considered the reasons advanced by the
commons for dissgreeing with the
amendments of the councils bills adopt
ed by the lords. The duke OF Devon
shire moved amendments that the &C
curing or hiring of land allotments be
subject to the approval of legal board,
instead OF parliament. Both amend
ments we're adopted. An amendment
raising the limit of parish from 200
to 500 inhabitants was rescinded. Other
amendments which originated in the
lords were either modified or with
drawn.
The lords this evening adopted, by q
vote of SO to rs, Salisbury's new amend
ment enabling parishes OF between 200
and 500 inhabitents to forego the parish
councils. Salisbury moved to restrict
the proportion Of elected trustees to one
third. and the motion was adopted, 72
to 33. the Liberal Unionists supporting
the government minority.
1t is believed these amendments are
the only two points on which there will

m1Dw1N1EK FAIR NOTES.
Thirty Thousand School Children Give
Free Admiration

Thirty Thousand School Children Given
Free Admission.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 23.-The school
children of San Francisco visited the
midwinter fair in body today. The
Examiner distributed 10000 tickets
among the school children OF the city.
These tickets not only admitted the
Examiners guests to the fair grounds
but entitled them to a free street-car
ride to the grounds and back, and sd-
mitted them to any four OF the conces-
sions. Today the schools are closed, by
request, and il has been one which will
long be remem bered by the little people.
Some OF the little ones became so
much engrossed in the things which
pleased them most that they became
separated from their parents. Then
their troubles began. 1t was common
sight to see great burly policeman
Leading sobbing children to corral
which had been specially provided for
the purpose. Once inside they were
made happy with an abundance of fruits
and candies, and some OF the older chill
dren, who were able to look out for
themselves, wished that they could in
some manner become lost and share a
airlilaf fate.
The different counties provided an
abundance of sweetmeats, which we're
gratuitously d distributed among the chill
dren, but in spite OF this fact some Of
them demanded more, The baby county
OF Kings alone handed out six tons of
raisins put up in bali-pound packages,
and Alameda county contributed 5000
bags OF almonds. The southern and
northern counties came to the front
with lruit, OF which they are 30 jrstly
proud, and it kept O large force oil men
busy picking up the orange peels, with
which the grounds were constantly
strewn. Although the grounds cover
an area of l60 acres it was difficult to
move about, 60 great was the mass of
adults and children. The "Keep off the
grass" notices on the lawns OF the grand
court were entirely ignored, and the
favorite school game of "tag" WAS in
dulged in to the children's hearts con-
tent amid the shrubs and trees.
On the recreation grounds in the after
noon was a novel display OF Japanese
day fireworks. There also took place a
grand band concert consisting of l50
pieces and chorus of thousands of
childish voices in all the national airs.
Although all the employees in the main
buildings and concessions seemed to en-
Joy the delights they were helping to
give the little ones, they admitted that
they were not sorry when the gates were
closed, as they were completely tagged.
At O'Clock the turnsties registered
55, 900 admissions, and the crowds were
still coming. With the exception OF
children who were temporarily lost,
there WAS nothing to mar the days
pleasure. No accidents OF any kind
ware reported.

free coinage OF gold and silver in the

New YoRK, Feb. 23.-The Herald's
special from Montevideo Gays: A cor
respondent in Ssntoa sends word that it
is expected the city will be in the pos
session of the insurgents before the end
of the week. The insurgent forces here
have won another victory. The loyal
troops were defeated by the federals
two days ago near Foxims. on the road
from Stanaro to Sac Paulo. Nearly
every man in Peixoto's battalion was
wounded. During the fight the national
police deserted Peixoto and joined the
rebels in a body.
BUENos AYREs, Feb. 23.-Advices
from Bio state: Peixoto has stopped
all telegraphic communication between
this city and Bahia. This action is sup
posed to have been taken on account OF
recent events in Bahia which have
weakened the acting presidents posi-
ton. 1t is reported here that the gov
ernment squadron has mutinied, and
that the insurgent army in the southern
part Of Brazil lie advancing without op-
position. The government troops sent
to meet the army are said to have been
seized with panic and fed. 1t Is feared
the continued depreciation OF paper
money will lead to financial crisia.
Bolivian forces have invaded the west
ern part of Brazil and established mill
tary posts along the upper part OF the
river Purus, in the state OF Amazon.
