SENDS $S,000
 HOME TO ITALY Up State Italian Gives a Sur prise to the Local Post
 office Money Order
 Officials. s4 HAD THE CASH WITH HIM Largest Draft Ever Made Out to an Italian in This City--Much Money Is Going Abroad.
HAD THE CASH WITH HIM

The exodus of foreigners, especially of Italians. and the wholesale sending of large money orders to foreign coun- tries, which has filled the New York newspapers of late with stories of a more or less alarming character, has just been given a local expression The Italians and other foreigners who come to America in such large numbers have been fiocking back to the old sod by the thousands of late since the re- cent financial panic so-called, in the United States, Those who have not left have been sending their money home in large amounts.
 The local postofflce has just issued the largest money order on a foreign country that it ever has made out for an Italian. It is for sSO00 and in favor of an Italian from mp the state whose name the postoffice authorities refuse to give out. His money order Is to be sent to Italy and he will follow. Be fore this money orders have been made out by the local postoffices for amounts as large as 5000 or s300O for foreign CTS returning home and an increased number of these have been negotiated | recently
 The Italian in question stepped up to the money order window of the local postoffice a couple of days ago and in the most unconcerned way asked that money order of $S,Oo0 be made out for | him to be sent to Italy. The clerk at the window was a bit taken back at the amount of the draEght at first. but when the staring Italian produced the money from his pockets, asked for the money order. was convinced and made out the order.
 Assistant Postmaster William P Futile said last evening that the check had been sent and that the amount S. .00c, was correct He said he did no, think 1t would comply with the genera postoffice rules for him to give out the name of the Italian for whom the money order was made out Possibly 1t might get him into trouble with the Blackhanders. He did say that he
 heard that the money had been with
 drawn from a local banking institution He would not say to what town ,r
 Italy it was to be sent.
