COINED 100000
FROM OLD PLATES.
Persons Who Made the Find Have
Become Wealthy and Are
Not Counterfeiters.

Washington. July 22.-Chief Wilile of the
Secret Service has received a number of
bank notes printed from the original plates
used by the State Bank of New Brunswick.
n. j., over fifty years ago. The bank went
out Of existence some time in the fifties.
and 1t was supposed that the steel plates
from which Its notes were printed We're de-
stroyed.
1t seems. however, that these plates have
fallen into the hands of parties who have
printed from them large quantities OF
notes. which have been put into circula-
ton from New York to San Francisco. A
very large percentage of the notes are twos,
and some fives and tens are being sent in.
Inasmuch as the notes are not counter
feits OF any United States currency or Obli-
cation. the makers and passers cannot be
prosecuted under the United States laws.
but it is said they can be punished for
fraud under the State laws. 1t appears
that the notes readily pass along the Cana
dian frontier. as the takers think they are
the notes of the Canadian Province of New
Brunswick, the words New jersey being
printed in small letters.
The notes are printed on bond paper and
are quite az good in every way as the orig
inals. It is said that possibly 100000 OF
these notes are in circulation.

Board of Public Improvements
Will Receive Proposals for New
Contract for One Year.
CHANGES IN SPECIFICATIONS.
Board Authorized to Discontinue
Service in Any Building, or
Increase the Current
at Pleasure.

The Board of Public Improvements Will
receive proposals at noon to-day for the
lighting Of public buildings for one year, be-
ginning September !. The new Speciflca-
tons are like the old in general tenor, al
though they provide by inference that the
board may exercise its Judgment as to or
dering increase or decrease in the number
of lamps or amount of current TO be used.
The specifications declare that the board
shall have the authority to determine upon
the quantity. quality and distribution OF
light. This clause will. it is thought, en-
power the board to discontinue the service
at any time in any building or buildings II
such a course should seem of public benefit.
Another specification authorizes the board
to direct an increase of current at any time.
The lighting of public buildings last year
cost s9l .304 So, of which SSo6Sl.55 was Tor
electric and S;e2S 30 for gas service. the use
of gas being limited. to large extent. to
the territory south of Keokuk street. in the
House of Refuge. Workhouse. Carondeiet
Market, engine-houses and police stations.
The electric lighting contracts are held by
the Iaclede GasliSht Company and the Mis-
souri, Edison Electric Company, the former
for the district north OF Washington to- , ave.
nue. at the rate of y cents per loo Watt
hours. and the latter south Of Washington
avenue at Is cents per 1000 Watt hours.
City officials believe eXertions for the IN
Stallation of municipal general ting plants in
the public buildings will have a tendency
to reduce the cost considerably for next
year IS lghting. and great decline is eN-
pected. From the new specifications the
section recurring that the contractors must
wire the buildings upon command from the
board is omitted. and consequently the risk
of loss will be much less Naturally con-
tractors, in bidding. would add the cost of
wiring to insure against probability of that
much extra expense.
The Waterworks lighting and power
plant will be in operation by September /.
and as a result the stations north of
Washington avenue will not receive current
| excepting in emergency. from the corpora
| ton having the contract for that district
These estimates are based only on total re-
| suits. The reduction must come. not from
the reduction of current used, but from Il
| reduction IN the price on the part of con-
| tractors. The reduction must assert itself

SIX MEN FROZEN TO DEATH.
Mute Evidence of Privation Found
on Trail to Nome.

Seattle. Wash. July "a tragic story
comes from st. Michael. A party Of men
en- route to Nome recently found the bodies
of six men at point near Cape Romanoff.
1t is presumed they all froze to death dur
ing one of the terrible billiards that pre-
vailed last winter.
The bodies were scattered at intervals
five of them about quarter OF a mile
apart. They were outstretched upon the
tundra and each was found wrapped in
blankets. Each had some camp equipment
near him. but no food.
One of the dead men evidently had been
either wounded or sick, as he lay on a cot
constructed of pair of oars and a canvas
sheet. 1t would seem that a storm must
have overtaken the men carrying him.
Evidently becoming exhausted, they aban-
doned him and wandered or and each for
himself, to perish where found.
1t is thought that they were party OF
prospectors who, in an effort to reach ST:
Michael had run out o. provisions and
persisted from exhaustion and exposure.
