MILWAUKEE, Aug. Mrs. Maria L. Mitchell.
widow OF Alexander Mitchell. has begun suit
against her son. Senator John L. Mitchell. and
the Wisconsin Marine and Fire Insurance
Companys Bank. The bank owes her
100000. it is said. and her son. It is alleged.
is behind some $4,000 on the annual allow
ance which he was required to pay her. The
fact that the suit had been commenced be-
came known on account of the signing OF an
order by Judge Mann.
When Alexander Mitchell made his will on
Nov. -. 1876. he gave his wife $500. 900 out
right, and permitted her to take this in stock
in the Wisconsin Marine and Fire Insurance
Company's bank. Besides he gave her an an
nuity OF $4,000 and the magnificent Mitchell
homestead on Grand avenue and Ninth street.
On June Z. 1887. Mrs MitcEell executed a
release OF her dover right She did this in
consideration OF 81 and out OF love and atlec-
tion for her son. now Senator Mitchell. This
release covered all the property which was
owned by the late Alexander Mitchell. pri-
yate agreement was made between Mrs.
Mitchell and her son by which she gave up the
homestead as we'll and accepted yearly al
lowRnce instead.
Since the settlement of tho estate Mrs.
Mitchell has seldom visited Milwaukee. The
mmencement OF the suit was known only to
the lawyers and the owners Of the bank. The
papers have not yet been filed in court
Mrs. Mitchell Is at present In the Thousand

WHERE TO GET CURRENCY.
Tho Treasury Department Prepared to Fur
nIsh All the small Notes Wanted.


WASHINGTON. Aug 4.--Treasury officials say
that the Treasury is prepared to supply all the
small currency wanted. and tho lack OF such
currency in certain sections OF the country is
accounted for by the supposition either that
all money is scarce or that the banks have
failed to procure Of tho Treasury the small
notes needed for home consumption. At no
time In recent years have SO many small notes
been sent to New York. and the lack of them in
that city cannot be accounted for here. except
on the theory that much OF it is being hoard ed
by those who receive 1t. thus withdrawing 1t
from active circulation.
1t Is inserted Mt tho Treasury Departmen
that there is no Likelihood OF the resumption of
the issue OF gold certificates until the FREQ
gold stands from seven to ten millions above
the reserve. Their issue can only be author
ized by tho Secretary Of tho Treasury. who
has not yet given any instructions IN that di-
rection. The FREQ gold is now nearly $9O0. 900.
since Aug. l the Comptroller Of the Currency
has ordered currency printed for issue on the
security of United States bonds for national
bank circulation TO the amount OF SS.632.00O.
OF which 81. .4tiS. 900 was ordered to-day. The
actual amount issued on bonds since the first
Of the month has been 81. 2.1U4, $50. OF which
S71l l.O7O was issued to-day. The bonds de-
posted to secure circulation since Aug. /
amount to S3.O63.5 800. OF which Sl.O20,OOO
