FIFTY YEARS AGO
IN THE STAR

The postal money order system of the
United States Is now fifty years old.
In The Star of
New Money Order october 4. 1854. is
System Starting. nar,re.nn .as NOV, rs1a. =
tive to the commencement of OPERA
tions under recent legislation:
1T Is expected that operations under
the new postal money order act will
be commenced in the course of two
weeks. most likely Monday. the 18th
instant. 1t was intended that the sys-
tenn should come into operation on the
ISL ana endeavors were made to COM
plete the arrangements for that pur-
pose. but some delay has arisen in con-
nectlon with the printing of the blanks
and other arrangements which have
necessitated the postponement. DR.. c.
r. Macdonald of the postal money order
bureau at Washington will be the con-
trolling officer of the department and
his office the head Office in the coun-
try. At present, and until some little
experience of the working of the sys-
tenn has been obtained, only TAT post
omces. in various parts of the coun-
try, will be authorized to transact
money order business. But this num-
Der will be rapidly increased when the
system has been tested by experience.
AS to the real benefits of the measure
there can be no doubt, the system hav-
ing for long time been in successful
operation in both Great Britain and
the Canadas. where it has been an i'm
mense convenience to the remitters and
receivers OF small sums, as well as the
source of handsome profit to the gov
ernment. and we have no doubt it will
prove the same here"
The other day it was stated that the
war in Europe is costing Germany at the
rate of about $5,00o,-
Daily Cost Of 900 day. and subse-
civil w.r auently it was an
0'A WAL nounced from Paris
that the daily war expenses of the
French government were about $7,000,-
600. while 1t was estimated in London
that the cost to the British government
Is about $4.750.0o0 daily. In The Star
of October 6, 1854, Is a paragraph
which indicates that the civil war cost
to the United States was about a mil
lion and a half dollars daily:
IAN elaborate series of investiga-
tions into the increase of public debt
during the war has just been compiled
by DR.. Elder Of the Treasury Depart
ment. Results show that the main in
crease of the public debt during thirty
nine months. since July. 1861, is, as
near as may be, a million and a half
dollars per diem. During the first two
months of this period the mean in
crease was $1.300.000. Subsequent to
that it stands a mean of $1.90O.000, ex-
ceptional days showing a maximum of
100000 and a minimum Of $1,000, 600,
but the mean for the time has been as
above stated, $1,500,O00 per day. This
statement entirely disposes of the howl
constantly made by copperheads upon
the vast increase of the public debt
Their documents, journals and banners
ring constant changes on that subject,
stating the increase of the public debt
to have averaged at least 100000 per
day since the commencement Of the re-
bellion.''

PITTSBURG MOOSE RALLY.
Roosevelt VIII be the Chief Attraction
at Pittsburg Gathering Tonight.

PITTSBURG, June 30.-Col. Roose-
welt was scheduled as the chief speak
er at today's big progressive rally
here. Local and state progressive
leaders planned a great reception for
the colonel who had promised to be
here to lead the rally unless after
effects of his South American jungle
trip did not keep him away. Roose-
welt has openly espoused the cause of
Clifford Pinchot for United States SEN
ator and that of William Draper Lewis
for governor on the Washington lpro-
gressive) ticket, and he was expected
today to urge their election as a rebuke
to republicans and democrats as well
as to carry out progressive principles.

CraddOck Took the Tip.

Even Rear Admiral Sir Craddock,
who had charge of the two English
ships in the habor, and who outranks
Badger, Fletcher, Mayo and Winslow,
has had his troubles, though he took
them gamely and with smile. He
walked in "cits" clothes to an Ameri-
can marine outpost on the beach the
other day and was stopped by SEN
try, who said:
whats your name?
"Craddock," answered the stranger.
"Well, this is the deadline," said the
sentry, not knowing he was speaking
to British admiral, you can't go any
further.
81 don't want to go any further,
then" said the admiral, and he turn
ed, smiling, and strobe away.

form OF request, not an order" Then
he signed his name and put all his
titles after it.
The postoffice took the matter up
with the admiral himself. THE navy
is one branch Of the government, +"
they pointed out, "and the postoffice is
another branch. We've got out orders
in the postoffice department not to
use titles and lot of courteous words,
but to make all our letters and tel
egrams as short and concise as posi-
BILE. That's what we did to Stickney."
You're right" ruled the admiral.
And now the messages that Captain
Stickney gets from the postoffice de-
partment are shorter than ever with
lot of business in them, but not
much balm for wounded dignity.
On the Stub Train.
And there's a lieutenant who had
charge of the stub train which used
to run out, twice a day, to the gap
in the railroad to pick up American
refugees from Mexico City. These
refugees were always footsore and
tired and sick at heart, having left
nearly all their possessions behind
them in Mexico, and their first glimpse
of the American flag, on the train at
the gap,s always thrilled them.
Some of them were inclined, in the
joy of their spirits, to give three
cheers for the flag and slap every
soldier and officer on the back and
call them Good boys" 1t was only
natural, but the lieutenant couldn't
understand it that way. Pretty soon
reports began to reach General Fun
ston, from refugees, that after pass
ing through the hands of scores of
Mexican officials on the way from
Mexico City, the first, the first dictor-
ial and unpleasant officer they met,
was the lieutenant in charge of the
stub train. The lieutenant kept his
dignity, all right, but, by orders of
General Funston, who acts like lightn- |
ing in such cases, he lost his job on |
the train. There's a soldier chap on |
the train now who helps the arriving |
refugees to cheer for the Red, White |
and Blue, if they want to, and who |
only smiles, happily, if an enthusiastic |
American slaps him between the |
shoulders and says you fellows are |
all right"
