MONEY ORDERS.
rhe Post once Department FavOra Estab.
fishing Many Onices.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 0.-The post office
department. has adopted policy OF
general extension of the money order
system. First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath believes that any post
office wanting money order facilities
should be given them. Complaints
have been constantly fled by business
houses that their correspondents at
villages are unable to send money or
iers because their post offices have no
such facilities. During tho past fiscal
year almost 27,OO0,OOO money orders
we're issued, amounting to little less
than 5000, 100000. The international
money orders issued during the year,
purchased principally by workmen
sending money to friends or relatives
in foreign countries, amounted to Sl5,-
700, 900, while the amounts drawn on
The United States by foreign countries
lid not exceed $5,OOO,OOO, The total
number of money order offices now in
operation is about 80, OOO and the num-
Der probably will be increased to So
700 before the next fiscal year.

Priests OF Pallas Parade Rt Kansas city the
Finest Ever Held There,


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 0.--Pal-
las Athene rode through the streets
of Kansas City last night at the
head Of what was universally con-
ceded to have been the finest parade
ever presented by the Priestso of Pallas.
There was no installing the fact that
the progress of the magnificent spec
tacle through the streets was greeted
with unusual expressions of apprecia-
ton. 1t was seen by more people
than ever before, the number being at
least 100000 and in every respect 1t
was the most successful parade yet
given.
The subject chosen, "Hans Christian
Andersen's Fairy Tales" was not only
susceptible OF artistic treatment in the
highest degree, but 1t was a subject
which appealed to the popular fancy.
There was no deep NEUROLOGICAL mean
ing to any of the floats, and the import
of every scene could be readily grasped.
There is no doubt but that this fact
had much to do with the enthusiastic
reception accorded every tableau in
the parade. The abundant and excel
lent music also added materially TO the
effect of the spectacle, while the spe-
cial Examinations were the browning
factor in making the event the finest
of its character ever given In Kansas
City or the west. The floats, of which
there were 20, were all of magnificent
proportions, the coloring admirable
and the light effects magnificent.

margin of one bird in the pigeon shoot

BILE 100 to Mr.. Elliott's "a. The contest
was for purse of $500 and the Kansas
City Star cup. The loser immediate
ly challenged the winner to another
match, which will probably take place
on Iowa soil. From the start to tho
finish there was never a time when
there was more than one bird between
the two contestants, and during a
large part of the time they were tied,
so that the interest of the crowd was
kept filed to fine point all the time.
