The New P0stal Noe.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-A pr"oi-
nent official of the government is an'h-
ority for the statement that the new pos,
tai notes are inadesc simple that their
counterfeiting will be very easy. At the
time the proposals were being considered
theBureau ofEngraving andPrintingsub
mitted with its bid sample far superior
to the note adopted by the Post ONCE
Department and one that counterfeiters
could not initiate. The paper upon which
1t was to be printed could not be obtain
ell except from the government mills, a.
though the cost of manufacturing the
notes might have been somewhat greater
than the con ract rates. 1t would have
been cheaper in the end, however, ior
the work TO have been performed by the
government. Numerous complaints have
been received, especially from banking
institutions, relative to the tiimsy char
acter of the new notes, and pretty fair
imitation of one of them for small a.
mount has been sent to the Secret Ser
vice Bureau for investigation. A better
note should be required OF the contrac'
tors in future, the official thinks, in order
to prevent arepetition ofthe otfense' ana
if the contractors cannot comply with
this requirement other proposals should
be invited, when there would undoubt'
edly be more competition.

Mrs. Clark, at Rockland. There were
eleven couple who met at Mrs. Calkin's,
Seventh and Kirkwood streets, shortly
before eight o'clock, where they took

an hour and half the party reached
their destination, and although the rain
had commenced to fall in torrents, and
everything was dark and dreary out
side, the party were all in excellent
spirits, and entered the house with the
intention of enjoying themselves to
their hearts content. After a short
time spent in social intercourse, games
were started, but before many had been
played the party were invited to parlakt
of refreshments, which were served in
abundance. The hours fed rapidly,
and almost before the merrymakers
thought an hour had passed, the clock
struck two, and they with lingering
good byes hurried 10 the hack and
started for home, which they reached
about $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning, 8
tired, but happy party.

No CAUSE FOR ALARM.
The Public school In McDOwe II
Vile Not 1M sOch Imminent
Peril Of Falling.

Many of the residents in the vicinity
of No II school. located in Mcdowell
vile, have become alarmed at what
they suppose the dangerous condition
of the building and threaten to take
their children from the school, while re-
ports damaging to the visiting commit
tee and building inspector have been
circulated whic h caused terror among
the parents VIII ose children are now in
the building.
In Justice to the chairman of the
visiting committee and for the intorma-
ton of those concerned, the true facts
of the case are herewith given, without
exaggeration and perfectly unbiased.
The committee visited the school last
Wednesday but heard nothing about
its supposed dangerous condition
until Friday, when he WAS informed OF
the facts. He proceeded immediately y
to investigate and got we'll known
builder to look at the structure and
pass Judgment on 1t, and afterwards
consulted Mr.. Chandler, the building
inspector, in reference to what ought to
be done.
The former said that, while the bnild.
ing should be repaired at an early day,
there was no immediate danger there
was no cause for any excitement
whatever and the school could be con
tinued on without any fear. Mr.. Chand'
Ter, after making thorough examina'
ton of the cracked walls stated that
there was no danger and that the com
mittee would be justitiable in waiting
until the next meeting of the board be-
fore having anything done, at which
time the Board could decide what was
the best plan to pursue. Mr.. Chandler
further stated that the building could
be made AS strong as new structure
| by putting several iron braces through
the same from one end OF the cracked
wall to the other, and that it was al
nonsense for the people to become Sc
/ excited over the matter when no rea
danger existed.
Thus the subject is presented in it'
true light, aud the scholars and teach
ers can rest assured that their lives art
not in imminent peril by remaining il
the school, while the parents have tn
word Of the building inspector that III
danger exists and that it would he fol
ly to close the school or for them to re
move their children. AT the next meet
ing of the Board the subject will b
brought up, and repairs ordered.

1OARD OF HEALTH.
The sewers and the New ordinance
Regulating Them.

The regular weekly meeting of the
Board of Health was held last evening
with President Bush In the CHAIR. A
letter was read from President Hinck-
lev. Of the p, w. & b. Railroad Com
Dany. In reference to the pond OF stag.
nsut water complained Of IT the foot OF
Lord street. which stated that tho mat
ter had been referred TO General Mans
ger Pugh, with instructions to have 1t
sbated il It was found that the property
belonged to the Railroad Company. d,
The executive officers and c0mmittees
reDorted that number Of nutsances
that had been referred to them for IN
yestigation had been abated, and some
continued. A letter which DR.. Bush
had received from Charles E. Fritz was
read, in which he expresses his opinion
that the ordinance regulating the water
courses and sewers of this city, that 10
now pending before Council, will, II
passed, prove detrimental to the health
OF the city. Mr.. Fritz contends that
cess pools should be allowed to empty
into the sewers, ss III his opinion the
refuse from the wells acts as purifier
on the OJu6T Hi0sVOA "h'Sh P
through the sewers.
The letter caused q lengthy discussion
on the sewerage question which was
participated in by almost oil the mem
bers present. Dr.. Bush thought that
the special system proposed BY Colonel
Waring was excellent, and well adapt
ed to the wants of this city, but alst
thought the expense too great for 1t te
be undertaken at present.
Mr.. Gawthrop said that he thought
q sewerage committee should be one Of
the standing committee Of Council, one o.
whose duties should be to see that sew
ers are gradually extended throughout
this city on some practical and uniform
plan. DR.. Bush agreed with MIR. Cav
|throp, but thought the trouble would
be to have some uniform system
adopted, and said that II G. W. TalleJ
had remained in Council, and at tn
head Of the special COMMITTEES on sewer
age, some decisive action would hav'
been taken In refeernce to the matter
He considered that this city had tn
best and most complete registry depart
lment of births. marriages and deaths
to be found any where, aud he could no
see why it should not have che best
system of sewerage. An order wa
drawn in favor of James Stuart for S3
