NEW WAY TO DEPOSIT MONEY.

1t Can he Placed with the Postal
Department for Safe Keeping Mt
Little Cost.
Official advices were received at the post
Office yesterday from Washington directing
that hereafter a money order may be
drawn upon the office at which it is is
sued.
1t is the impression that there viii be a
large demand for orders of this purely
local character. The department circular
suggests that the money order department
may now be utilized as a savings bank
when persons desire to temporarily deposit
funds for safe keeping.
Orders may be drawn in their favor,
which will be refunded on demand with
the privilege of indorsing the order in IA
vor of some other party. For the trans
mission of funds to pay local bills. 1t also
recommends this innovation as worthy of
the public's attention.

HANsoN's ALLEGED DESIGNS.
His Efforts In the Eleventh a scheme
to Get Into Hanna's Heart.

Brunswick. Ca, Oct. IA queer political
story reached the Morning News CORE
spondents ears to-day. and If the facts
are correctly stated, the brother in black
will be, after all. the great loser from the
fight now being made in the Eleventh dis
trict b. Candidate wilkinson and Maj
Hanson OF the Republican party. 1t
seems that as the story goes, the doughty
white major of Blob county has never
given up the idea that the Republican
party of Georgia could be made a white
mans party. While 1t is true that Eugene
Belcher the smooth colored politician OF
Glynn has so far doWned the major with
the administration and has convinced
Mark Hanna and others that he is cor
rect to the extent Of getting himself
Sf.600 a year job in the Brunswick custom
house against the majors wishes, the
major is dead game, and, in addition to
that, knows trick or two in politics him
self
The story now goes that the major Is
preparing to floor Beicher by elecung VIII
kinsOn 10 succeed Branuey ana convince
Hanna that If 1t had not been for his
speeches and the white mans vote VIII
kiusOn would never have landed He is
said 20 have carefully figured that If Will
kinsOn should be showed under, a. he will
most assuredly be, it will still he possible
to make such a show that Hanna viii
think he Is yet something in Georgia poll
tics.
Belcher and his friends. however. are
said to have got onto the alleged game of
the major and Is going 90 give Hanson
the greatest fan down of his life It Is
even now whispered that the slip up Han
son, Miluken ana Wilkinson made vester-
day in coming 70 Brunswick and finding
no speaking arranged for them, was lust
a little by play Of Belcher's, who wanted
TO show the boys how easy he could turn
the lily whites down.
Belcher states otherwise. but he has
long head IN politics. and when his con
troll IS taken away from him down in this
district he feels sure Hanna will know
the reason why.

GEN. COPPINGER's OPINION.

Inexperienced Officers From Civil
Life Caused All the Trouble.
Washington. Oct. Mai. Gen. J. ]. Cop
pinger has made report to the war de-
partment, inclosing reports received from
divisions, brigade and regimental COM
mander5 of his corps, as to the quantity
and qualities of supplies furnished the
troops of his command by the several staff
departments since the beginning of the
war with Spain.
The general says, in his judgment, the
quality of subsistence furnished by the
department was good and the quantity
ample.
The volunteers in many cases messed
badly, but this, he says. was owing TO the
ignorance of the inexperienced officers.
who did not know how to procure or care
for the rations. and the ignorance of
cooks, who did not know how to cook
them. The regular troops lived well
Clothing, camp and garrison equipments
were sometimes Of poor quality the report
states, the natural result of an effort TO
equip some DDS, COO men, supplies had been
prepared for a. 900.
He considers that great deal of difficult
~ In this line was caused by the lack of
knowledge on the part of staff officers
fresh from civil life, Ignorant of the meth
DDS and manner of supplying the army
The quality of team mules was very
good. The treatment they received in many
Instances were atrocious. He ascribed this
condition of affairs TO the lack of expert
enced men.
Gen Coppinger considers the United
States clothing on hand at the declaration
of war as good and satisfactory. Some OF
the dark blue trousers and shirts produced
on emergency were of poor qualty, but he
thinks no blame can be attached to the
quartermasters department for this.
In regard to the medical department
the general says ne believes the surgeon
general has accomplished an arduous task
under very trying circumstances.
The report closes with a reference TO
the work of the ordnance department, and
states that no blame attaches to the chief
of ordnance for the failure TO equip in
a frst-class manner 225.00O men in the
short space Of time allowed him. Some
Of the soldiers were armed with muskets
of antique pattern, interesting in a mu-
scum, but out Of place in a battle. Cen
Coppnger thinks the chief of ordnance
was given an impossible task.

JAPANESE PAPERS.
Various Uses to Which They Are Put.
Papers Imported From China.

Various Uses to Which They Are Put.
Papers Imported From China.
From the Boston Journal of Commerce.
Paper intended for certain special uses
has long been imported from China, and
some has likewise been imported from
Japan since that country was opened TO
the commerce of the world. The qualities
of these papers make them especially de-
sirable for the uses to which they are
put, but their cost is more than that of
American or European papers. There are
various Japanese papers that cost from
two to six times as much as similar pa
peTs of American manufacture
Notwithstanding its greatest cost the
importatcns of paper from Japan have
increased greatly in recent years, and thew
are still increasing. A certain japanese
paper is used in some of the reproductive
processes for duplicating writings. Coated
with wax, 1t is placed in a typewriter
whose letters stamp out their forms in
the wax, and make of the sheet in effect
a stencil plate. From the sheet thus nre-
pared may be made with suitable apnli-
ances many copies of the original letter
Another japanese paper is used by den
lists to absorb the moisture from teeth
instead OF absorbent cotton. Some Japan-
ese paper is used In repacking teas and
one paper is used for insulating nurnosas
A japanese paper known as while silk
tissue Is used in printing pictures, which
are mounted upon cardboard. Such ma
per, in leaves, is used also to cover ,,v,.r
the frontispece of books and pictures in
serted. Japanese vellum paper is used
for the printing of fine books and illus
trations and for fine circulars and creeks.
Ihere are japanese papers that are used
for correspondence purposes, chiefly by
private persons, but some business
houses use letter heads and envelopes Of
japanese paper, and some use japanese
paper in envelopes only. Strength and the
quality of enduring are among the charac-
teristics of most japanese papers
There are japanese papers that are used
for letter copy books. OF such papers there
are imported from Japan perhaps 10000
reams annually, which might seem like a
considerable quantity, but single Amer
lean mill, and that not the largest. pro
ducing paper for letter copy books. makes
from twenty to thirty tons daily, and there
are in this country forty to fifty mills
making tissues, among which letter copy
book paper Is included.
A few japanese papers are made from
cotton, some of the very common papers
are made from the ramie grass, but all
the finer grades are made from the bark
of the mulberry. the coarser grades from
the outer parts of the bark and the finest
from the inner parts. The processes of
manufacture are secret The Japanese
have the knack, the material and the wa
ter, and they produce papers of admirable
excellence.
The japanese make what is called Japa-
nese wood paper, which is composed of a
veneer of wood SO thinl that IL Is lined
