WON BY QUAY OF PENNSYLVANIA
AND WARREN OF WYO-
MING.

Bit Of History Concerning the Two
Weli-known Statesmen-Senator
Warren Wounded In Forlorn Hope
at Port Hudson.

Washington, D. c., April 29.-(Spe,
cial to The Republican.)-In its Capt,
tai Chat" column. the Washington Post

Two senators, Quay Of Pennsylvania
and Warren Of Wyoming. wear the rib
bon of the medal of honor. Quay won
his medal by brave conduct at Fred,
e~ricksburg. He was 4 lieutenant col,
Onel and had been discharged on ac,

CHECK SYSTEM
ITS ADOPTION BEING URGED BY
CERTAIN PosToFFIcE Of
EIClALS.
Originator Has Given His Idea to the
Government-Scheme Has Already
Gained Many Acknowledgment
ents Urge That It viii Make Every
Greenback a Money Order.

| Washington, d. c., April 29.-(Spe
cial to The Republican.)-Mr. Perry S
Heath, former assistant postmaster
general, has devoted quite a little time
and space" to the post check
A committee of the treasury and
postoffice officials met last Thursday
to consider the plan of establishing q
mail currency such as that devised
by Mr.. C. w. Post. Mr.. Post has given
his ideas to the government, and his
generosity is particularly praisworthy
ia view of the fact that the scheme has
already gained many adherents.
1t proposes the establishment OF a
paper currency which may be used as
a money order. On the ordinary geen.
back will be printed four blank lines,
three IN the face and one on the back.
To use the bill as a money order, the
sender writes his OWL name on the line
on the back, the name of the payee on
the first of the three lines on the face
OF the bill. the payee's address on the
second, and the third line is filled in
by the payee who writes his W sigma.
ture on it.
The advocates OF the proposition
claim that it greatly decreases the cost
OF sending money through the mails,
as well as the danger of loss in transit,
and is especially convenient for rural
delivery routes.
The opponents of the postal check
urge that its adoption will make every
greenback a money order. whether it
is wanted for that purpose or not, and
this in itself will mean a considerable
loss to the government, aside from the
cost Of an entire reissue of our paper
currency, which amounts TO about
1870, 100000. ,
Once a bill has been used as a check
and presented by the payee to the
proper postal authorities. it is redeem.
ell with a fresh bill, n withdrawn
from further circulation. Should the
new system be adopted. it would doubt
less result in the issue Of fractional pa
per currency with a reduction in the
size Of the greenback relative to it's
value in coin.

boat. There was not a sounder fishing
schooner on the coast than the Amy
Knight. which was sunk a few weeks
ago. Fishermen expected these boats
to last for years. How did it happen
that disaster befell them all?
Not long after the publication OF

ing ~schooners began to diminish
alarmingly. Boats that should have
endured for a lifetime were stricken
down in the bloom OF youth. Finally
only three of the boats were left; Their
two. At last the Prince Leboo was the
only survivor. And now the Prince
Leboo is gone, too.
The Amy Knight figured in Kipling's
book as the Carrie Pitman. She was
the comedian of the fleet. and was de-
scribed as always going adrift on the
Banks. The Carrie Pitman hailed
from West Chatham. she don't do
