TO CASH PENSION CHECKS.
Order Issued Giving Resident POST
masters Such Authority.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2-It is estimated
that quarter Of a million dollars will be
saved to the pensioners of the United States
each year by an order issued yesterday by
the Postoffice Department, giving postmas-
tiers authority to cash the checks in which
the pensions are paid. The payments are
made quarterly and the pensioners are now
compelled to pay varying rates of discount
in order to obtain the cash for their checks
This system will, of course, be abolished
by to-day's orders, the postmasters will
cash the checks at their face value
While the pension checks drawn in favor
of pensioners are payable at a limited num-
Der of places, the holders who reside in
cities have no difficulty in negotiating these
checks through banks, but inasmuch as the
greater number of pensioners reside in
places remote from banks. the matter of
providing means whereby these persons
might promptly obtain payment of these
checks without expense to themselves has
been for years past question which has
received attention from the Pension Depart
ment.
Incidental to this many postmasters at
money order offices in small places have re-
quested the Postoffice Department to permit
them to cash these checks and to remit
in lieu of the corresponding amount of cash
The methods by which this interchange
tOuiu DS successfully carried out received
the consideration of Commissioner Evans
and Assistant Postmaster General Heath at
conference yesterday. the result of which
was that the PostOffice Department will
authorize postmasters at all money order
offices in the smaller places to cash these
checks for pensioners known personally to
the postmasters, and to treat them in all
respects, so far as prompt payment is con-
ccrned. in the same way that money orders
are treated. 1t is not expected that
these checks will be presented 10 postnas-
tiers at the larger places where there are
banks, this arrangement being intended
merely to add to the convenience of the old
soldiers. and to enable them to avoid the
expense which now frequently attaches to
the negotiation of their checks
Through this method millions of dollars
will be paid the pensioners through the
money-crder system of the department and
without any expense whatever to them On
the contrary. the checks will be of advant-
age to postmasters at the smaller places for
use for remittance purposes. and the meas
ure will undoubtedly prove popular and con-
Venient.

WE CLOTHE THE WORLD
UNITED STATES RAISES SIS PER CENT.
OF ALL COTTON GROWN.
Product Quadrupled in Twenty-Five
Years, While the Price Has Fall
en- to About One-Fourth.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The phenomenal
ly low price of cotton recently reported,
said to be the lowest point reached in many
years, lends special interest to a series Of
tables just compiled by the Treasury Blu
reau of Statistics, showing the remarkable
increase in cotton production and coinci-
dental fall in price. These tables show that
the United States, the chief cotton producer
of the world, has quadrupled her cotton pro-
duction since 1872, and that the price of cot
ton in the same period has fallen to about
one-fourth that which prevailed in that
year. In 1872 the cotton crop of the United
States is shown to have been 1884, 0S4, 494
pounds, with an average price of 22.l9 cents
a pound: in 1898 the crop is reported at
1861, 81. 051 pounds, with an average price
of 623 cents a. pound. Thus the production
of 1898 is more than four times that of 1872
and the average price but a little over one
fourth that of that year. When it is con-
sidered that the other portions of the world
that grow cotton have not at all reduced
their production meantime, it is apparent
that the increased cotton supply of the
world in the quarter of a century under
consideration has been very great, and far
in advance of the increase in population or
consuming power.
1Wenty-uV0 years ago the united states
produced 20 per cent. of the cotton of the
world; to-day she produces IS per cent. of
the worlds cotton. This increase in the
percentage has been not because of a re-
duction of the cotton produced in other
parts of the world, but simply on account
of the increase in our own. The cotton sup
ply of the other cotton-producing sections
of the world in 1928 was 1867, 900 bales, and
in 1878, 1.665.0O0 bales. The average cotton
production of other countries from 1872 to
1878 was 1.6lS,000 bales per annum, and from
1880 to 1897 was 1.924,0O0 bales per annum,
showing that there has also been a slight
growth in cotton production in other parts
of the world, while our own production has
been increasing enormously.
mol only has the price of cotton fallen at
ABOUT the same rate that the production has
increased, but there has also been corre-
spending fall in the price of cloths manu-
tactured from cotton. The reports of the
Bureau of Statistics show that cotton
printing cloths We're quoted at 1888 cents
show an average rate OF 217 cents a ward.
In the cotton year 1898, for the same grade
of cloths, the fall in the price of the man
ufactured article thus having, in this case
fall in the price of raw cotton and the in
crease in production of that article

Charleston,s Lucky Escape.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct 2.-Much
alarm was occasioned here to-day by the
hoisting of cyclone signals by the Weather
Bureau. 1t was feared at one time that
much damage would be done, but such was
not the case. During the day the wind
reached a velocity of sixty-two miles and
the tide rose two and a half feet above
normal Several streets in the city were
submerged. causing much inconvenience,
but traffic was not interrupted nor was the
city cut off from communication. either by
rail or wire, in any direction. All the ships
in the harbor sought safe anchorage in the
river and the communication with neigh
boring islands was suspended after 8
o'clock. 1t is feared that much damage to
rice and other crops on the sea islands has
been done. A dispatch to the News and
Courier from Georgetown says the storm
in that section was very severe, the low
lands being under water and the destruc-
ton in the rice fields widespread. No casual
ties have been reported here.

Skin Came off With
The Bandages.
Screams Were Heart Breaking.
Four Doctors and Medical

Improvement After the Second
Application Of Cuticura. Now
COMPLETELY Cured.

My little son, boy of five, broke out with an
itching rash. Three doctors prescribed for him,
but he kept getting worse, until we could not
dress him any more. They finally advised me
to try certain medical college, but its treatment
did not do any good. At the time was induced
TO try CUTIcURA REMEDIES, he was SO bad that
had to cut his hair all off, and put the CUTI-
cURA (ointment) on him on bandages, as IL was
impossible to touch him with the bare hand.
There scds not one square inch Of skin on his
whole body that soas not affected He was one
mass of sores, and the stencil from him was
frightful. The bandages used TO stick to his
skin, and in removing them it used TO take the
skin off With them, and the screams from the
poor child were heart breaking. 1 began TO
think that he would never get WELL but after the
second application of CUTIcURA (ointment
began to see signs Of improvement, and with the
third and fourth applications the sores CON-
menced to dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but 1t finally yielded to the treatment
used the CUTIcuRA REsoLvEET for his blood,
and now can say that he is entirely cured, and
a stronger and healthier boy you never saw than
he Is today.
