Clevedon Telegraph Form, 1894 and Postcard 1904

The unused Telegraph form below has a Queen Victoria 6d embossed stamp and a "THE TRIANGLE / CLEVEDON" handstamp dated 2nd August 1894.

The QV 6d embossed stamp is similar to the 1854 6d embossed postage stamp but has small circular marks towards the base.  The back of the form details what the 6d charge includes.

The Postcard below was sent from Clevedon to Clifton in 1904 - the postcard was written at 2:30 with the sender indicating that they would be home about 10pm and presumably expected that the postcard would be delivered before then.  With that kind of delivery why would one send a Telegram ?
