 NEW YORK NOTES.
 New Ycrk, Jarilary 23.-One of the most notable grand juries ever drawn in the United States district court for the district of New Jersey is that which will be sworn in Tuesday at the opening of the January term of court. The panel will include several mill on aires, among them Gearge J. Gould, a former Unlled States senator, four mayors and several othsr persons of prominence.
 The elevation of the stage goes merrily on Word was received on the Rialto today thar the Camden wo- man recently acquitted of murdering her husband is coming to town to take singing and dancing lessons prepara tory to her debut behind the foot lights. When Mrs Mack hears this she may induce the authorities at Auburn prison to permit hen to learn a few steps during off hours in order to enable her to be in trim for a turn when the time comes.
 It is astonishing, but none the less true, that there are people here who know less about their own town than the average Stran 1 took a, man who had lived in Harlem for five years down town the other day, and he ac- tually confessed that he had only been as far as the Battery once and didn't really know where Wall street was. His delight at seeing the big buildings w,3s childlike, and yet he was 25 years old, six years of which he had spent in this city.
 The first steps for the erection of another bridge ovsr Eas. river wee taken at meeting of the city's board of public Improvements. the most i'm ports nt of all the bodies cr5ated by ,, the charter If the improvement is i sanctioned an all-railroad structure will link the two big boroughs and bring the race tracks and beaches l closer to Manhatuauite The plans and specifications for the steel towers of the new East river bridge were ac- cepted today, the bids will be invited at once Bidders will know their fate in about three weeks. The job will cost nearly $1,OOO,OC0.
 The Italian theater in the Powery i isn't afraid to tackle anything in the play line. "Othello" was produced d there last night, and tomorrow night | Hamlet" will hold down the boards much to the delight of a picturesque audience, which is always charitable The face of the Moor of Venice was blached in strealy fashion, and he wore tight black gloves and t3wdy shoes, but his presence survived there difficulties. After the curtain went down on the smOIthering of Des1e- mona the actor who played the duke in the first act came out and sang a song. The audience then refused to disperse without a sentime ntal ditty from Cassius. For versatility the swarthy players of the Teatno I aliano excel their brethren on Broadway.
 Mrs. Mack, the, lucky murleress proposes to make money out of the morbidity of the masses She has arranged with an auctioneer to dis pose of the contents of her flat, where both her victims used to call Many persons are making ready to gst to the auction and buy some reminders of one of the most semsaItio al of modern crimes One of the relics which the morbidly curious may feast their eyes upon, but which museum managers will probably bid up beyond the limit, will be the dress which Mrs. Mack wore in the Woodside cottage the day Guldensuppe was murdered and cut up. This cruel woman has certainly hoodwinked justice as well as the missionaries
 Postmaster Van Cott says hat. in consequence of the order of the post office department to reduce the ex- i penses of the lettr carrier service in this city by $40,OO0, he will have to discharge siXty-siX letter carriers on February 1. This will involve a re- duction in the number Of mail deliver 1es in the territory north of Forty second street The local postoffice authorities regret this, but there is no help for it. t'The needs of the New York service,'' said Postmaster Van Cott today, ''have been prese ed to the department in Washington. but the department cannot do anythine except through the action Of congress. We have already taken the order from Washington up for considera- 1on and will rearrange the service in the district affected by the reduc- toin of the force so as 10 cripple it to the least degree possible Plans will be: made to protect the business men within the district, but as to de tails it will take several days and care1ul ngurlng to come to any con- clusion. The problem is particula rTy difficult"
 Rev. Dr. Charles s. Robinson. pas tor of the Church of the Puritans, in Harlem, is the possessor of a mummy head. He firmly believes it to be that of Menephta, the Pharaoh of the Exodus. Dr. Robinson was asked to tell what proof he had that his mum my head was that of the, Egyptian ruler. Well" said the doctor, "we know that the Arab from whom the head was purchased had been down into the sarcophagus of Menephta for he was seen by several people both to descend and climb out of it. It was after Professor Wilson came into DOE session of this head that the famous discovery of royal mummies were made at Dier-el-Bahari, when the sarcophagus of Menephta, the Phar- aoh of the Exodus, was found Ito con- tain only the headless trunk.
