NEW BANK NOTES.

The First National BAN notes to be is
sued under he new currency law have
reached this city. They were sent in re-
spouse to Geographic requests from the
banks as soon as it was that
the president had signed the act. These
bills We're issued on the bonds already
deposited with the treasurer. Under the
old law banks were permitted to take out
circulation to only 80 per cent of the
bonds deposited, but under the new law
the limit of the circulation was. raised to
the par.
The total of the increased circulation
o~btainable by the local banks on the
bonds already deposited is 81, 103. 533. AS
the additional bills were ordered printed
some time ago, there was no delay in
shipping them. No meeting of directors
of the banks was necessary. The total
amount of increased circulation permit
ted to banks throughout the country on
bonds already deposited is about $25, OOO.-
COO, and 1t will take some time to attend
to the shipment of such an amount even
IT the notes are already printed.
Mr.. A. Barton Hepburn, ex-comptrol-
Ter OF the currency and vice president Of
the Chase National bank, says that the
average rate at which a bank note can
be printed is 30 days. The fastest rate
at which notes have been printed is 20
days. The process Is a slow one because
the notes are very carefully printed. and

to be put through the press a number Of
times. After each contract with the
photographic stone the notes have to dry
for a few days.
Assistant Secretary Vanderlip's esti-
mate that 1t will take two months to fill
the orders for new bills is certainly not
overweight. 1t is thought that If the
new circulation exceeds 800. 900, 900 the
time will be longer than that
The Hanover National bank was one
OF the first to receive a consignment of
bank notes issued under the new law,
The notes were for the most part SO and
$50 bills. and the total amount received
was $l0O. 600. Each sheet contained four
bills. the three upper tier being of $40
denomination and the lower of $40.
Comptroller Dawes refused a few days
g to permit the printing of sheets to
contain nothing except SO bills. Anoth-
ed form of sheet consists of three SIS bills
and $40 bill. Another consists of
one $50 bill and three 500 bills.
Upon the arrival of these sheets the
law requires the president and cashier of
the bank to sign them before issuing
them. This law used to bear heavily on
these busy bank officers until the habit
grew up of printing a fac-simile of one
officers signature and having the other
signed by hand. Finally a colored por-
ter stole a quantity of blank bills and
forged the signatures, and the bank
which had ordered the notes. but never
received them, refused to honor them
when presented. The resulting confusion
was so great that congress passed a law
making a bank responsible for all the
biiis issued to 1T, whether signed by the |
proper officers or not. This being the
it makes no difference in the mone- |
tsry value OF a bank note whether It be |

Rear Admiral Day Has
Served His Time.
TWO VACANCIES LEFT
New Personnel Law Requires That
There Be Twenty Vacancies by
July l-Dry Tortugas to be Turned
Over to Navy Department.

New York, March ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: President
Mckinley will approve this week the ap-
plication for retirement made by Rear
Admiral Day, president of the retiring
board, and that officer will retire with the
rank of senior rear admiral. Rear Ad-
mira1 Mccormick vas retired Saturday.
The two vacancies thus created have fur
Their limited the number open to officers
DESTROYS of voluntarily retiring in accord
ance with the provisions of the naval per-
sonnet law. Only two officers of the grade
of commander stand n chance of v
ing their applications granted.
Captains who may be retired should no
further vacancies above grade of COM
mander occur, are Capt. Andrade and w.
H. Harris. Capts. j. G. Green and r. +.
Jmpey are candidates but their applica-
tions cannot be approved because of the
retirements of Rear Admirals Mccormick
and Day.
Under the law there must be twenty va
cancies existing above the grade of lieu
tenant commander on Jun 80 next. Nine
teen vacancies TO- exist and the only
officer of the grade of commander who
can retire is VIM. I. Moore, on duty at the
ava station at Port Royal.
Naval officers say 1t was the intention
of the board which framed the personnel
law that officers of the higher grades
should be given an opportunity to retire,
but as the law is being interpreted by
the department they declare the older Of
ticers are compelled to remain in active
service and younger officers are retired.
President Mckinley is expected to ap-
prove the recommendation of Secretary
Root hat the reservation at Dry Tortu-
gas be turned over to the naval service.
This action will mean that the navy will
be provided with a valuable strategic ba-
sis as a coaling station and the marine
hospital service will be required to move
to some adjoining key and there estab-
lish it's quarantine station.
Captain Sigsbee, chief of the naval in
telligence Office, n during the war with
Spain in command of the auxiliary cruis-
err st. Paul, has accepted an invitation
from the city of st. Paul, Mimi, to visit
it early in April.
1t Is understood that the navy depart
ment has selected Commander Taussig to
command the gunboat Yorktown. He will
succeed Commander Sperry, who will
probably be given ordnance duty. 1t is
expected that Commander s. w. Very,
commanding the Castine, and Com
mander George M. Bicknell, commanding
the Monocacy. will soon be relieved. Their
cruise will expire during the coming sum-
mer.

TO ENGLAND.

Greatest of nations, chosen strength Of
God,
Imperial servant of divine commands;
Within the tranquil hOllOws of thy
hands
Repose the sphered seas; the changeful
Are thine. and tracts of empire yet un-
trOd; I'D,
The sword is thine, it's splendor flares
abroad.
Thou. whom thy mighty warrior dead
acclaim,
Wilt thou intrust its unpolluted fame
To smooth-faced pirates whose unspok-
en- aim
Is filthy lucre, gained by fouler fraud?
This people, small in number, great in
love
OF all thou lowest; sternly set apart
In self-concentrated freedom as thou
art;
Puritans pure as thou in home and
heart,
Owning no master but you Lord
above
Ere these appeal to Him our hope is
yet
In thee. for thou. awakening, wilt hear
This clink of gold thy righteous heart
will fear,
Unrighteous ruin slowly drawing near
England, dost thou forget?

ENGLAND IN SOUTH AFRICA
BY Maarten Martens.

I feel that I cannot say anything about
this Boer business which would do any
more good than my verses. How could
I so exaggerate their Importance as to
expect anything from them but a little
abuse in lingo newspapers. All I can do
is to ask my two American friends
Freedom and Justice-to give all posi-
BILE prominence to these verses, which
really contain my entire appreciation of
the questions at issue.
To me personally, if one may venture
to speak for ones self in the face OF such
a great national calamity, the complica-
tions which first found ven in the jane
son raid have continued to be the. source
of such exquisite suffering that I do not
to consider them the worst sor-
row of a life which has not been brighter
than most mems.

We heard of something amusing not
long ago in this neighborhood. A
house keeper broom in hand, had failed
to sweep the several masculines from
the proximity of the stove, and as every
expsdient seemed abortive, had recourse
to but one more alternative: "A clean

is a dangerous fascination in it. and

Mere About Game Laws.

A writer in the Dispatch from Heaths.
vile on the subject Of laws to protect
game, says.
Having read with interest the ysri.
ous suggestions presented to protect the
game in this State. ind from expert.
ence that there is one unavoidable de.
structiou Of the eggs cf the partridge,
and that is our mowers and horse fakes.
Many Of our partridges make their
nests in our hay-felds. and before
hatching-t time comes the mowers cut
the hay from over the nest and leaves
the nest bare, and the crows follow and
eat the eggs. What the crows do not
get the horse.rake destroys in raking up
the hay.
Another enemy is the hawk, which
destroys not only the young birds, but
many OF the full grown birds This
might be prevented il a great measure
if our game associations and our counties
would all offer reward for hawk
scalps. The hawk is not only destruc-
tive to the partridge. but to the farm.
ers' poultry, especially the young
broods in early spring, and l am conf
dent that it would be money we'll In
vested to have a moderate tax to get rid
Of these birds Of prey.
MY experience is that | have found
those farms which are hunted moderate
ly have more birds than those that are
not hunted over, because the sportsmen
in shooting at the birds frighten away
the hawks, while in those fields that
are not hunted the hawks destroy more
birds than the sportsman.
THE deep snow we had last February
destroyed more birds than anything else
that has happened for several years.
Before that snow, in. January, 1899. /
could 60 around my home almost any
morning or afternoon and find from
eight to ten coveys; but after the snow
four or five coveys were all that sur e.
vived. The remainder perished under
the snow. And this past season have
fond only four or five coveys, and
they were very few in number. have

only one bird the past season.
