WHO KNOWS THIS WOMAN ?

Mayor Hoos this morning received the
following letter from Fall River, Mass,
dated May 80. 1877
Dear Sir-I ask you through kindness
if 1t is a possible thing that you can help
me in finding the whereabouts of my
mother. l do not ever remember seeing
her. Father and mother parted when /
was only II months old. I was then put
in the Orphans Home until I was II
years old, and then I was put on a farm
and now I am able to give mother a
home, and would pay any price to find
out where she is
Your Honor, why I wrote to you a
gentleman by the name of Henry L.
Gregg that lived in Hudson some ten
years and directed me to write to you.
would be the best one to know
She went by the name of Mrs. John
King and she was married in the old
country and came to Fall River. Her
first marriage was with John Fay, and
afterwards she met this man named
King after father and she had parted.
Now If you will help me to find her I will
be much pleased to hear.
Will close trusting to your Honor,
Yours truly and in haste,
THOMAS FAY
1047 Pleasant street
Fall River, Mass.

STATE HEALTH BOARD IGNORANCE

The State Board of Health telephoned
to the Bayonne health authorities today
to look out for a case of smallpox on one
of the steamships of the Hamburg-Am
lean line. The person who sent the mes
sage evidently thought that the Hamburg
docks were in Bayonne. The Board Of
Health at Bayonne forwarded the mes
sage to Inspector Graneli at Hoboken.
No investigation was made OF the report
up to this afternoon. Health Inspector
Granelli was too busy attending to other
cases. 3
At the steamship docks II was said this
morning that no case Of smallpox had
been reported. ~

DR. GRAY RETURNs HOME.
T'wasn't Necessary 10 Take Pasteur
Treatment-Dog is Well Again.

DR.. F. D. Gray of Grand and Van Worst
streets, returned home on Saturday from
Paris, where he went to consult the
physicians of the Pasteur Institute about
the severe bites he received from a ST.
Bernard dog few weeks ago. After the
dog attacked the doctor, iacerating the
left hand, there was a suspicion that the
animal was suffering from rabies. Dr..
Gray thought not, but at any rate
thought It advisable to go to Paris and
seek advice: When he arrived in that
city he received cablegram from Veter-
mary Surgeon Arrowsmith, in whose care
the dog was, that the brute had entirely

it was not necessary to take their treat

unpleasant, and accordingly the doctor
returned houa.

anu the rather widespread
notion thai there is a desire among men
OF this class for the withdrawal OF
greenbacks and treasury notes. One OF
the heSt known f%inanciers OF the coun.
try, Eho recently submitted his views to
The commission on request, said to the
Associated Press representative in dis
cussing the work Of the commission:
Il think the evenu and finance de.
partments OF the government should be
completely separated. Revenue is one
question. and the problem Of currency
and banking is another, and in their
details they have no proper connection.
l should like to see u variegated pa.
per currency unified into two sections,
coin certificates and silver certificates,
the coin certificates to be confined to
denominations Of SO and ever, and the
silver certificates to IS. e, and 81 bills,
gradually Withdrawing all silver cert.
ficates OF denomination higher than IS.
The treasury should hold a gold reserve
equal to rs per cent Of the coin certif,
cafes, n the secretary Of the treasury
should be authorized to cancel all coin
certificates when paid in gold. He
should have authority to maintain the
gold reserve at all times by purchasing
gold with surplus cash in the treasury,
and short-time obligations Of the gov
eminent Tariff laws should be 90 ad.
josted as to insure a small surplus reve.
nue., and when they do not. the secre,
tary Of the treasury should be authoriz,
ed to borrow enough upon short-time
obligations to cover any deficiency in
the revenue.
The national banks should be per-
mitted to issue notes to the par value
OF the government bonds held by them.
Canada has 4 fairly good system for the
regulation Of bank circulation, and it
might be studied with profit. 1 do not
believe the American people are pre-
pared for the Withdrawal Of the green
backs or trasury notes. will they be
until a banking act establishes an abso-
lutte safe bank note circulation and the
people come to recognize It as such.
Such a bank currency must be national
in character. It would be idle to talk
Of a state bank issue. This country has
had bitter experience In that direction
and the people understand its evils"

amply secure even that issue. 1t might
be proper to here state, as evidence OF
value OF this security. that already offers
have been made for the hotel property
amounting to a sum equal to not only
the first mortgage bonds. but also the
entire issue Of the second mortgage
bonds.
As to the character OF the investments
Of the Endowment Rank. the board OF
control say without hesitancy that they
are all OF the very best, amply and prop
erly secured. During the past nine
years since the surplus funds OF the
rank were first invested, no loss what
eve has been sustained. and there is
absolutely no reason to believe tina,
there ever will be. On the whole. the
investments representing the surplus
funds Of the Endowment Rank are
deemed f1rst-class in every respect, and
unsurpassed in quality and character by
those held by any kindred organization
or insurance company. Fraternally,
