lieve this money becomes forfeited to the
government after a certain number of
years, four, I think. The British govern
ment evidently proceeds upon the theory
that If holder of a money order or the
sender does not seek to cash the order
within reasonab Bile time the government
can put it TO good advantage by applying
the amount to its own use Such a prac-
tice undoubtedly facilitates the business

In nearly all money transactions there is
limitation upon the validity of any
voucher which represents cash as to its
presentation. Even a note payable with
out date is barred by the statute of limi-
tations in the various states.
, There is to-day an accumulation Of
over $2,500,0O0 in the treasury of these
unclaimed money orders which has been
gradually piiing up year after year during
the thirty-fve years the government has
been conducting a money order business.
With each individual order the govern
ment has made a special effort to effect
payment to the payee or restore tho
amount to the remitter, and failing, can
do nought but keep the amount. The fact
that $1,000 duplicate orders annually
issued would appear to indicate that the
American people are extremely careless
in the handing of these money vouchers.
Where the originals go or how they are
disposed of would fill volume.
THE government has issued $1,000 Co.,
900 in money orders. and has paid every
cent of this great sum except the 81, 500
900 / nave mentioned. A single order
may be issued up to 500 in amount, and
the average is about $3.50, the smaller
offices issuing the great bulk of orders
and the larger offices cashing IS per cent.

Travelling men, actors, circus men,
railroad employees and others. whose bust
ness requires. them to move from place
to place, are very fond of buying orders
payable to themselves. They cannot
spend an order as bill and as no one
but themselves or the indorsees may Sc
cure the amount of the orders they are
just that much ahead when they get into
the next town, making themselves their
own bankers with the government as
depository. Sometimes an actor or a cir
Gus man will present a dozen orders at
the close of the season which he has
bought from time to time, and their
amount represents savings which other
wise would have been spent"

FOUND DEAD IN THE MARSH.
Strange End of Young John Owens
of ~. Simons.


Brunswick. Ga. May 2O.-John Owens.
a well-known white man of st. Simons
Island. was found dead near that place
yesterday afternoon.
The story is a very sad one. II seems
that Mr.. owens left his residence at st.
simons to take hunting trip. He did not
return and his folks became uneasy and
went to search for him. A few miles
from his home, in the marsh, he was
found dead with his gun lying beside
him. His clothes were a few feet away.
MIR. Owens was subject to epileptic fits.
and his relatives think while he was out
in the marsh hunting one came on him,
and being unable TO remove himself, the
high tide that night came over him and
he was drowned. When found he was
not in the water but his clothes were
wet. and his gun was covered with the
mud.
Some seem to think that Il was sui
eide, as Mr.. owens attempted 10 take his
life few months ago. and severely cut
himself about the neck with a razor, and
II was at first thought that the wounds
would prove fatal but he succeeded m
recovering. Ills people. however, are sure
that he was struck with one Of his fits.
which they say were very frequent. and
was drowned, as no marks Of violence
We're found about his body. The fact that
his clothes were all pulled OF and lying
nearby, h a mystery. as he could have
hardly been able 20 do this had he been
suddenly stricken down.
Mr. owens was young man, % years
Of age, and unmarried. He had lived al
S. simons for a number Of years. and the
AFFAIR has caused general sorrow In the
community.

LIEUT.. GIBBS TRIAL.
Honesty of Purpose, but Decided Ig-
norance of Military Law shown.


Jacksonville Fla, May 2O.-The trial of
Lieut.. G.. T. Gibbs of the Governor
Guard for alleged mutinous conduct. in
taking an armed guard to the city jail
for the purpose of securing the release of
two members of his company was con-
tnued to-day. The evidence given
both by the witnesses for the prosecution
and the defense bore out the story pub
lished in to-day's Morning News, which
created decided sensation here.
Lieut.. Gibbs testified in his own be-
half. but while he impressed the court
with his frankness, and apparent truth
fulness, he also astounded the court by
his gross ignorance of military rules and
discipline.
two of his men were under arrest and
confined in the city jail, and with
the thought only of rescuing
them he took out squad of men under
his command consisting of five privates
and a sergeant. He admitted that the
men had their guns and side arms with
them, and that he had his sword and
pistol with him. He claimed that the
men were not under arms. because they
did not have their bayonets fixed and
had no ammunition with them.
When asked by the court if he acted on
his own authority without consulting his
captain. he said that he did Asked again
by the court if the men had ammunition
with them he said that they had not.
In reply to a question as to what be-
came of the ammunition that soldiers on
duty were compelled by military rules
to carry with them he stated that he had
removed it.
What did you do with it?" was asked.
Il carried it with me-" was the start
| ling reply.
The result of the findings of the court
will not be made known until it is sub
mitted to the Governor for his approval.

COTTON DEAL AT CHARLOTTE.

New Commercial Company Organized
to Finance Manufactures.
New York. May 2o.-The Times to-mor-
row win say
Contracts were signed yesterday in
Charlotte N. c., by which the Manufac-
turers' Commercial Company. a recently
created organization with a capital of
$4,000. will finance the local affairs of
the Cotton Manufacturers Commission
Company. Contracts were also signed by
the Commercial Company with represen-
tatives of the Woolgrowers' Association,
in which Boston people are largely inter-
ested.
The signing of the cotton contracts
means that the sales of the cotton will be
put in the hands of an organization form
ed of the cotton men themselves, thus
doing away with the commission mer-
chants. The Commercial Company will
cash the sales thus made. This movement
on the part of the cotton men arose out of
a difficulty of the Southern spinners with
the Yarn Merchants Association of this
city last year
The spinners propose to form an asso-
citation of their own which shall hire its
own statesmen. They will at the start re-
duce the commission from per cent. to
per cent. The Yarn Merchants Associa-
tion has declared that no one shall reduce
the percentage below per cent.
The wool men will have their own
agents and sell stock themselves without
the commission merchants. After they
have sold their wool on time the company
will cash their sales or where it is nee
essary carry their wool for them.

that they have forwarded orders for

They disappear in various ways" was
the reply. Some are burned or torn up
instead Of the receipts and this is partic-
ularly true of international money orders
where the receipts are of the same size

find their way back to the remitters or

son, died at his home in that place to-
