UNCLAIMED MONEY
ORDERS.
Uncle Sam Secures a Neat
Sum Annually Through
This Peculiar Agency.

Washington, Nov. 10
There are millions upon mil
lions of dollars in the Treasury
paid in from different sources
which belong to citizens of the
United States. To this wealth
the Post Office Department,
through the money order office,
contributes largely. A few
years back the Postmaster Gen
eral deposited with the Trea-
surer nearly 100000 the
money from uncashed orders
which had accumulated since
the office was started in 1863.
AT first no effort was made
to restore this unclaimed mon.
ey to its rightful owners, but
the letters of advice, turned in
as unpaid by the Postmasters
from all over the country, were
kept, IN case a demand should
be made. for their payment.
This money remained to the
credit of the money order Of
flee, showing a large profit for
the service. This policy was
subsequently changed, now the
office endeavors to refund the
money to the RENTERS by a
draft drawn on the Treasury.
This rule obtains in case of
money orders less than 1oI
years old. Letters of advice
older than this are DESTROYED.
Every year about I per cent
Of the money orders issued are
not cashed, leaving from $780,
300 to 100000 unclaimed.
which is deposited in the Trea-
'ury. There are many reasons
o account for this large num-
Der OF money orders not being
,ashed. In some instances or.
iers are filed away with other
papers and forgotten. More
reqdentiy the letter containing
he order is lost or stolen, and
he order never reaches the
addresses. This is true Of the
riders made out to the large
hops which do not receive the
rider or the accompanying let /
er containing orders tor goods
0 be shipped, owing generally
0 the dishonesty Of employees. |
here are cases, too, where
len have used the money or
er office as a bank and have
lade out orders to themselves
'hich, owing tAsudden death
r other cause, have never E
cen claimed.

last he remembers was leaving
his wife to 60 to work in New

he awoke and found
that he had registered as A.

he got there and was seeking
for information. On this the

press his willingness to go
