ALAMEDA, CAL, Feb. ALI of the

have moved into the new City Hall and
taken possession. 1t was intended to have
public reception, dedicatory exercises
and banquet coincident with the formal
occupancy, but the work of paving the
vestibule had not been completed, and as
that is of considerable moment, so far as

had to be postponed. The front door will

OF this opportunity to inspect the hall.
The dedicatory exercises will take place on

they would be Cancelled.
So, also, any notes received by you from

notes which have not been returned.
One of the curiosities of this department
is f25 note which was paid in after be-

is also here with albums containing old
bank notes of very large amounts, with
the names of noblemen for whom they
were issued. There is also the 81 900 600

was WORTH $5, ,000,000 and was issued for
convenience in closing an undertaking OF

The records of this department are of
invaluable assistance in checking forgery.
and the cancelled notes, which are kept for
period OF about five years before being
burned, are constantly under examination
by Scotland Yard detective in search of
stolen money, or other people whose notes

Americas Opportunity on the Seas.

When war was renewed in 1903 between
England and France the rule of 1756 was
again asserted by Great Britain as binding,
while indirect trade between neutral ports
and the ports of an enemy was again al
lowed, but under the new proviso that the
neutral ship did not on her outward, ,voy-
age furnish the enemy with goods contra
band of war.
This privilege OF indirect trade was in
valuable to American shlp-owners, and for
two years the ocean commerce of all Eu-
rope was in their hands. The fortunes
they thus accumulated were enormous,
while Great Britain saw her own manu-
facrures displaced by those of Continental
nations and the colonies of her enemies
prospering as never before.-ssLife of Ma
poleon," by Professor Sloane, in the Cen
