who took their places have personally
promised the speaker they would vote
in committee against reporting favor

D. C. to Stay "Wet."
The speaker aad Representative Dali
zeIl, the two powers in the house, had
a conference following the malup Of
the committees. and after going over
the lists and seeing that everything
had been we'll arranged, expressed the
opinion that the session would adjourn
probably two months in advance of the
republican national convention.
incidentally. 1t should be said that
the speaker, In his work OF "loadlng,"
has not overlooked the District of Co
lumbia. which has been threatened
with a determined effort to secure pro-
hibition legislation at this session. A

an important duty to perform as
speaker in seeing that the present SEES
sion Is one during which nothing new
Is taken up and with the discharge Of
that duty, as shown In the personnel
tent.

Moving of the Job Division
Work of Herculean Proportions

The Job division is now doing business
on the second floor, the last remnant OF
type material having been cleared up
the latter part of the week.
For the present the seven linotype ma
chimes are TO remain on the seventh floor
or until the projected consolidation with
the entire type machine plant, which is
TO occupy the quarters vacated by the
press and job divisions. The transition
from the seventh TO the second floor was
characterized by scenes Of great activity
and not a few comicaI situations devel-
oped-
No man was too proud to push truck.
and it is related of Hennessy Smith that
in his intense eagerness to be up and
doing something to help the good cause
along he loaded the Office dictionary on
n waiting truck big enough to carry a
small house and manfully trudged away
with his burden. George a. Dooley, on
whom was placed the responsible task Of
bringing order out Of chaos, came in for
a good share Of the congratulations
passed around.

HALF A BILLION
IN MONEY ORDERS
Sixty-five Million Will Have
Been Issued by
June 3d.

It is estimated, based on available
data and the increase of previous years,
that for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1907, there will have been issued 6, 100000
money orders.
Money orders issued during the last
fiscal year amounted to more than $780,
900. 600. and as a money order must be
audited against both the issuing and
paying office, the audit represented more
than $1,OO0,0O0.OOO This vast amount Of
work is done by the force of clerks
working under Auditor Ernest G.. Tim
me, some 800 in number. and ccnstitut-
ing, it is claimed. the largest auditing
force In the world.
The method OF handling the vast guam
titles of moray orders is regarded by
experts who have examined the matter,
as practically perfect as well as most
economical. Visitors connected with
postal affairs in foreign countries have
expressed the opinion generally that the
American Government is far in the lean
in this line of work
The Inspecting division, composed for
the most part OF expert accountants. au-
dit the money order vouchers against the
credit side of the postmasters' accounts.
They are next transmitted 10 the asSort-
ing division. where they are assorted in
States. office, and also numerically. for
audit against the issued or debit side OF
the pOstmasters' money order account,
which is performed by the checking d.
vision
Money order files are retained seven
years before destroying, and will ap-
proXimate 100 tons each. II has been
recommended that money order files be
destroyed after five years. but Congress
has never taken action

a cold country is a false one, says a
writer in the Travel Magazine. In Reyk-
