correcting a mistaken impression that
seems to have been spread regarding

does not call in any kind OF government

provides for an exchange as the older
notes reach the treasury. As fast as
the old denominations come they will
be cancelled and exchanged for the new
notes. The principal recommendation
possessed by the new notes is their
convenient size. They are of small de-
nominations, and that is what the
country is demanding just now. This
has been brought about by two cause
the widespread prosperity of the coun.
try and the objection OF the people tC

PEOPLES SINGING MOVEMENT.
Efforts Being Made TO Establish q
Branch in This City.

There is movement on foot in this
city to establish an elementary sight sing
ing class under the auspices of the Peo-
pies Choral Union of New York, Mr..
Frank Damrosch, director.
The main object of this movement is
to promote the love and culture of music
among working men and women. Should
the scheme prove successful the actual
work of tuition will be gin next October.
The whole movement has as it's basis
brotherly love- The instructors, some of
the finest in New York, receive no sal
ary; neither does Mr. Damrosch. The
dues are ten cents per lesson attended,
and pays for rent of hall, music, etc.
There are no other charges. Music is
furnished free. No previous knowledge
of music is required nor is a fine voice
necessary to enter the elementary class.
The purpose is to teach to read music,
rather .han to give vocal culture. Every
body, whether music lover. or an in
tending musician, can and should learn
to read notes.
Mr. H N Eichmann, of No. 442 York
street, .Ias received over 1seventy-fiye ap-
plications for membership at the pres
ent time and several prominent citizens
have given the movement their hearty
