MONEY ORDERS IN CUBA.
Only $500 Worth Will Hereafter Be Is
sued in One Day to One Person.

Washington, Oct 4. Postmaster
General Smith received from Director
Rathbone Of the Cuban Posts today a
letter stating that he had complied
with the wishes of the postmaster
general in regard to money orders is
sued in Cuba and drawn on the United
States, and hereafter no more than
five money orders will be issued in one
day to one drawer or one payee. Com
plant had been made by the banks
that as the rates for money orders
were less in Havana than the rate of
exchange, the merchants in Havana
were purchasing large quantities of
money orders and paying their bills in
this country with them, thus depriv-
ing the banks of great deal of bust
ness. Postmaster-General Smith con-
sidered the complaint a just one and
instructed Director Rathbone to rem
edy the matter.
Under the new arrangement any one
in Cuba wishing to remit money to
the United States will he able to pur-
chase money orders to the amount Of
$500 in orders of $1OO each, payable to
the same person in one day, but no
more. He can purchase other orders
payable to other persons or he can
come back the next day and get $500
worth more, payable to the same per-
son. In the case of very small money
order offices in the United States the
there is seldom any occasion for the
issuing of more than $500 in money
orders to any one person in the same
day, drawn on the same person, at
these small offices the regulation has
caused no hardship.

comes true, that will not be very
long.
1t would not cost much to take the
preliminary steps. Trees could be set
out at comparatively trif1ing cost and
by the time they had developed enough
shade to cover the ground the city
would have developed enough wealth
to prepare walks and lawns.
The council, by the way, is now
considering the further Improvement
of Neahr's plaza, which is really the
only pleasure ground the city has. for
the city hall plaza is too small to
count. The trees in the Neahr plaza
nave reached very good size, but it is
as devoid of a lawn as it WIS when
the old man Neahr Internationally
bequeathed it to the city, and along
with it a lawsuit. There has been a
great deal of trouble in conducting
water to it from the canal. Water can
be gotten into the bitches for the irri-
cation of the trees, but cannot be
raised to the surface. The park will
have to be cut down or else an ar
rangement will have to ibe made with
the Phoenix Water company for water.
The latter is believed to be the cheap
er and better plan for the purposes Of
a lawn. Gardener Dave Turner says
that a good snowy crop of grass can
be grown Within sixty days. if there
is no delay in starting it,.

CITY PARKS
a Suaae sfIon Regarding the Greater
Phoenix.

The subject of city parks has become
a part of the question of Greater
Phoenix and is being discussed along
with the matter of extending the city
limits. The suggestion is being widely
offered that the city now while land is
comparatively cheap. do what it will
have to dc, later when real estate will
be higher-make provision for
public pleasure grounds. This is a
matter that has been overlooked by
almost every municipality until it had
grown so big and land suitable for
parks had reached such a princely
value that it was almost unObtainabie.
The reason that parks were not laid
cut in many of the larger cities was
that they were regarded in America
until within comparatively recent years
as a needless luxury which should not
be paid for out of the public funds.
The recognition of the utility, if not
the almost absolute necessity, of parks
has come rather late in this country,
but it has come at last. 1t has been
suggested that Phoenix acquire a tract
of five or ten acres in one Of the
northern additions 1t need not be
near the center of the city and it need
not be Immediately fitted up, but may
be held until the municipality finds it
self able to make it a pleasure ground.

in this case it plainly had some enc
else in view Some time before the
arrival of Admiral Dewey, the World,
after the manner of the yellow jour
nal, sent out to the governors of all
states and territories a typewriter
expression of sentiment of welcome.
The governors were asked to sign it
and send it back along with their pho
tographs. Many complied with the
request and others objected to the
form of the expression on the ground
that it was not broad enough to cover
tk,. case of a man SO universally ad-
mired and loved as Admiral Dewey.
Others doubted the propriety of max
ing a formal expression in words at
all Words were too powerless to set
forth the views of Americans with re-
gard to Dewey. About one-half
the governors did not sign it and
among them was Governor Murphy.
A late issue of the World. the Dewey
edition, contained a fac smile Of the
expression, together with the sigma
lures in fac simile of the governors
who signed it. The whole was set in
a frame composed CT photographs of
the signers. The first in the list was
Governor Wolcott of Massachusetts.
for whose photograph was substituted
that of Governor Murphy of Arizona.
