CROSSED" MONEY ORDERS.
Safeguards Employed In England In
Making Small Remittances.

Americans who are buying books in
small quantities or are RENTING dues
to the treasurers of English societies of
which they happen to he members ooca-
sionally receive a printed or written re-
quest to use "crossed" order when
sending money. At first they are likely
to be mystified by the phrase. Even IL
inquiry is made at the postoffioe in this
country ii is quite possible that no sat-
isfactory explanation will be obtainable.
The remitting party will ascertain,
issue CROSSED" orders.
The term in question refers to two
lines drawn with pen from the top to
the bottom of postal order on its face
near the middle aud an inch or two
apart. That treatment of a money order
will prevent payment Of it to any one
but banker, and it, as is sometimes
done, the name Of some particular bank
is written in the space between the
lines the order will be paid only to that
institution. 1t is not necessary to use
any words in addition to the name of
the bank. No explicit prohibition is re-.
quired. The mere crossing of the order
is we'll understood signal to the Brit.
ish postal authorities, for, while the
custom is comparatively unfamiliar to
people on this side of the Atlantic, it is
common enough in the United King
dom
When an American RENTS money in
this manner, he crosses his order him
self, but in several foreign countries the
postoffioe does not give the order to the
sender, but transmits it directly to the
paying office. The person who RENTS
merely sends notice to the right person
to go to the postoffice and apply for the
money. Where this usage prevails the
postoffice issues crossed order because
the sender cannot cross the order him
self. Such is the practice, for instance,
in Germany, Belgium, Austria and
Italy.-New York Tribune.

the Reason.
Philadelphia, Feb. 2S.-Political circles
were shaken to the center by the unex-
pected postponement Of the Quay trial
yesterday, and there is speculation in
every quarter as to the causes which
brought II about. The district attorney
rose when the parties were all present
and asked a postponement "becase the
state is not ready" He would not give
this unreadiness in detail. but said he
had given IL to the judge, who had ap-
proved 1t. Outsiders, however. insist
that both sides were ready. Quay's
counsel put in vigorous objection to
postponement, but the court granted
the delay and put off the trial to April
10, six weeks hence.

for the Spaniards. The commissioners
said that Aguinaldo and Sanduiko were
both at Malolos and inclined to pacific
overtures. While the Filipinos are not
yet prepared to surrender the Spanish
prisoners they will gladly release two
Americans who have been held for six
weeks, on the payment of $50, the value

Shortly afterwards the rebels sent out

a single incident worth recording from

Gus points.
The enemy was most active along
General Kings and General Ovenshine's

volleys of musketry, supplemented by
shells from the Buffalo, effectually

The Allisonian candidates, including
OF course the ex-mayor himself, cannot
make the people believe for a moment,
that their election does not mean wide
open town for the future, with all the
debasing influences that the phrase
implies. 1t is only necessary to talk
briefly with their leading supporters to
learn that the sole incentive for the un-
remitting work that is being done for
Allison and his candidates is the assur-
ance given his boosters that there will
be hot time all the time il the Citizens
ticket is elected. 1t is folly for them to
have published stereotyped election de-
mails, drawn in equivocal terms which
deny nothing, but are put forth merely
to deceive honest voters The people
know that If Allison was ever urged to
run for mayor, the urging came from
saloon keepers alone, and not from any
other class of citizens. who have the
welfare Of Grand Junction at heart. Mr..
Allison is therefore the saloo1 candidate
and he cannot get away from it. 1t is
true that few well-meaning voters
may be deceived as to his attitude in
this election, but those who run may
read, and reading, will know his status
in the municipal contest Of tomorrow.
The Sentinel does not exaggerate the
actual situation in stating that the con-
servative Democrats. with which party
Mr.. Allison claims alliance, entirely dis
approve OF his candidacy and will stern
ly rebuke it at the polls. Those who
have wearied OF the interminable water
fight will rebuke it: those who want
sewage will rebuke it: those who want a
law abiding and decently governed town
will rebuke it, and those who believe in
Greater Grand Junction will also cast
their votes against the man whose cleo
ton m sans more litigation, endless local
strife, backset for the city and cloud
ed future for the city's business inter-
ests. In all honesty and sincerity the
Sentinel advises the conservative and
home-loving votes of Grand Junction to
cast their ballots tomorrow for the Ella
ticket.
