account kept the market weak throughout. The political outlook was not considered favorable so far as the hard money men are concerned and the failure to place the New York city and Brooklyn city gold bonds also had some influence with timid holders of stocks.
 While there was some disposition in certain quarters to credit the small bidding for the bonds to the currency agitation leading bond dealers were in clined to believe that the time selected to sell the bonds was most inoppor- tune. In the first place good many investors who usually buy this kind of security are out of town. Again, the banks have no special use for short time bond, as they can do better by placing their funds in new government fours, which run until 1925 and can serve as basis for circulation.
 Some dealers were of opinion that the matter had been wofully misman- aged and asserted that when the bonds are offered in the fall there will be no question about the success of the issue.

BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING
.NEW PLUMBING ORDNANCE RE PORTED BY COMMISSIONER DIBBLE

Communication From the Court of Conn mon Council Concerning the Establish mont of the Hospital for Contagious Dis eases-The Mechanic Street Nuisance Again-Adjourned Meeting Next Tues day.
 A plumbing ordinance was reported to the board of health yesterday af- ternoon, which is intended to take the place of the present local statute. The new ordinance does not materially differ from the one under which the plumbers are now working, but makes some of it's provisions clearer The or dinance was reported by Commissioner Dibble.
 The board accepted the report of the committee and it will be sent to the board of aldermen next Monday even ing.
 A communication was received from the city clerk notifying the board that the committee on ordinances of the court of common council would hold meeting on Friday evening in Room 10 and il of the City hall, at which time the resolution offered in the court of common council concerning the build ing and maintaining of contagious disease hospital will be considered.
 President Fleischner and Health Off, cer Wright were instructed to appear before the committee in behalf of the board.
 Alderman Forsyth, w. J. Atwater, w. H. Costello, Moritz Spier and Milton J. Stewart were heard by the board in reference to the filling in of vacant lot in the rear of the Forsyth Laundry company's plant at Lawrence and Mechanic streets The owners of the property, the Forsyth Laundry com pany and w. H. Costello, admit the nuisance, but claimed that it was not caused by them but by w. J. Atwater and Milton J. Stewart, owners of the adjacent property. MT. Atwater was called by the chairman of the board.
 MT. Atwater had no nuisance on his land which had been filled up. If the pOc1l V tllou6Ht llldl ue SIiOulu CUlllIlU- ute anything9toward filling in the lots after an examination of the premises, he would gladly do so for his tenants and others who had complained to him of the nuisance. The only way, how ever, in his Judgment to abate the nuisance was to fill in the lots.
 Alderman Forsyth said that the whole trouble was caused by MT. At waters filling in a natural drain and backing up the water. He made the further statement that it would be a long while before the nuisance could be abated in this way. MT. Atwater thought that the alderman's plan inef- fectual, and said that if the bank of ashes in the rear of the Forsyth Laun- dry companys plant had been spread over the lot, there would now be three feet of made land on the lot.
 William H. Costello thought that a culvert should be placed in the cause way made by MT. Stewart
 This plan was objected to as not be- ing feasible by MT. Atwater but he would do most anything to get rid of the nuisance
 The board will take the matter into consideration at an adjourned meet ing next week.

HUNTERS sPoILs..

A We'll Known New Havener's Luck
 Out in the Santa Ynez Mountains. Cliff Glen Springs, Matiliga California,
 July 21. 1896.
 This Is mountain resort about eigh- ty miles from Los Angeles, in a lovely canyon, cut by some convulsion of na- ture in the heart of the Santa Ynez mountains. The canyon follows the Matiliga creek, which lower down is called the Ventura river. At this point it widens out into a broad table land or plateau, which contains considerable arable land and room for orchards, ap- pies, peaches, apricots, pears, lemons and oranges growing here in abund- ance. An abundant hot sulphur spring gives name to the place and its healing waters are said to cure nearly every i'll human flesh is heir to. A little hotel has been built here and is we'll kept, and though primitive to a degree, thoroughly comfortable. Here gather every year at this season many parties of hunters, fishermen and pleasure seekers of the .holder sort, From here SldIlGA d LEW adS5 d5o e diC oluttCAll, son of D.

We who were left behind had little faith In their success, but this morning, just before dinner, a rapid firing Of guns attracted our attention to the trail leading up the canyon, and there were the boys riding proudly home, fine buck hanging across one of the horses, and the hoofs and skins of three more dangling from the sad dles. They had been out four days and shot four deer, killed two rattle snakes, a tarantula an eagle, and in numerable quail and cottontails. How is that of New Haven boy, the first month of his vacation

SAM ALExANDER's INVENTION
A New Telephone Toll Collecting Sys-

A New Telephone Toll Collecting Sys-
 tenn Which Seems Effective.
 New York, July 26.-Samuel Alexan- der of this city has invented coin sig nal device for telephone pay stations. He said to "Post" reporter to-day: q have had much to do-mechanically and otherwise-with perfecting and in troducing to the trade machines for collecting telephone pay station tolls, and recognized the growing demand for a signal box for public stations that would operate without the use of weighty, warping and clogging chan nel boards and other complicated an- noyances. The demand was for sig nal device that would be simple in me chanism, few in parts, and one that could be built and marketed at price that would insure it's popularity and place it beyond competition in the mat ter of expense to the telephone compa- nies. To this end I have been happily successful in producing and perfecting just such device, ernbodying all the desirable features, which I herewith present to your notice, hoping for it a favorable consideration and the same encouragement met with in my for mer efforts in this line.
 Under my patent, I produce signal device, which can be attached handily to any form of telephone cabinet de- sired without disturbing or distorting the general construction of the cabinet or it's connections. There is no leather accordion, or other undesirable attach ment to the transmitter or it's mouth piece, nor any confusing or unreliable signal sounds. such as are found in other devices of this class. In my de- vice the signals are Droduced--single and multiple-by a sharp (edge) con- tact of the falling Golling) coin with the inner wall or sounding board of the signal.

country suffers through insects esti-
mated by hundreds of millions of dollars

OF the most dangerous of these pests of our
orchards and gardens have come from for
eign countries. California has quarantine
officer who Is apparently rendering the
State a genuine service, and if the abound
ing scale insects Of the tropics are to be
prevented from invading our Southern
coasts some similar action must be taken
on our Atlantic seaboard.
We need TO know more OF these insects
and OF their habits, so that we can detect
them before they get a foothold here. We
know that DANGEROUS scale insect from
California has been found in abundance
on the fruit stands of our Eastern States.
Equally destructive pests may effect land
ing in some OF our seaports on the fruits
and vegetables which we receive from the
West Indies and from South America as
well as upon the decorative or other plants
imported.
We have an association of economic ento-
mologists. and this body ought to be able TO

only against injurious insects, but against
the contagious diseases OF plants. There is
also an organization made up OF the officers

sors OF agricultural colleges. whose natural

worth careful study by a body which repre-

reason why national quarantine bill
