THE GIRL IN GREEN.

We have seen the maid attired
All in red from top to toes;
We have seen her dressed in pink and
white
And rivaung :he rose;
We have seen the blue and purple,
But the latest thing we've seen
In the way of palpitations
Is the maiden dressed in green!
Hat. waist, skirt, shoes. gloves and
belt, all
OF the purest shamrock hue,
With perhaps a dainty touch here
OF little greenish blue,
And she musically brushes
All the dying fashions by,
With a verdant little twinkle
In her little greenish eye!
See her reigning on the boardwalk!
See her sailing up the street,
With a lot of fawning greenies
At her dainty green shod feet!
And exultant nature loudly
Marbles from the spreading tree.
"There she goes-the girl that gushes-
And she's patterned after mel
Hail the newest thing In crazes!
Crown the latest color queen!
Were prepared to pass the laurels
To the giddy girl in green;
Yet in town or in the country
Or the seashore's sheltered hooks.
Paste this tip where you can see 1t:
"She's less verdant than she looks!'

ScIt'rrcd throughout the country are

tam turned up in this city not long
Ait had the imprint of twenty
Cri'ar note on one side and Il ten on
We. o:rcr AS the face showed the
tw.uty, that was its legal value.
the deputy assistant treasurer of
ne United States, who is stationed in
tnr New York subtrcasury, was speak
in:: of these freaks the other day and
SAID he had only seen one of them in
his life, although he had heard of sew
cral. Very rarely they have slipped
through the bureau of engraving ard
printing despite careful scrutiny by
three or four sets of inspectors. In
Most cases they have been national
banknotcs, which, like regular treasury
notes, are printed at the bureau in
Washington. The face value always
is recognized when the freaks come to
be ca>hed in Mt any branch of the
treasury, and the imprint on the back
has no lawful status whatever.
'The notes are printed in sheets at
the bureau" said the official. Usual
ly there will be one twenty and two
tens OH sheet. They are printed one
side at time, so it can be seen that
the printer in turning over the sheet
might get it upside down and thus put
n ten dollar back on the twenty dollar
note, or twenty on the back of one Of
the tens"
In the bureau are women who are
supposed to examine all the bills care
fully, but occasionally they neglect
to look at both sides az scrutiniZingly
as they should, and so the money goes
out into circulation. When errors are
discovered, the misprinted sheet is laid
aside to be destroyed. 1t cannot be
torn up Mt once, for every sheet has to
be accounted for. After a good deal
of red tape, it is ground up into pulp.
Most of the freak bills which have
been issued in the past have found
their way back to the treasury, there
to be destroyed. 1t is thought that less
than dozen are now scattered about,
most of theIh in the hands of curio
hunters. The official said that no eff
fort to collect them had been made by
the government and that the treasury
department did not consider the circu-
latiOn of the few notes Il matter Of
any consequence, inasmuch as there
was no doubt about the values as in
dicated on the face.-New York Times.

1.-THE existence of North side wine
rooms Is due, according to Il high po'

North Side wards. ON the South Side
there are few wine rooms and on the
West Side the fight on them has been
kept up vigorously and unrelentingly.
Information has reached the police

which are now being carried out, it Is

promises made that If certain things
We're done there would be immunity

JUDGE TULEyIRiMS the 0RAFTERY

II Judge T,ley never did anything
else in the course Of his honorable ca.
reer on the bench his decision that
special privileges in the shape Of "per.
inits" by the council are illegal and can
not be maintained or exercised by the
beneficiaries thereof, should entitle
him to the gratitude Of posterity.
These permits are usually granted
through the good offices Of some cheap
alderman who In willing for pittance
to authorize those able to pay him, to
violate the law. As a result our streets
are rendered dangerous and some
time impossible by the oyerhanging
signs, bridges cumming from elevated
roads, bay windows (encroaching on
the sldewalksJ, show cases, and all
manner Of barriers and impedlments,
interfering with traffic and threaten
Ing the lives and limbs Of pedestrians.
The Eagle has had occasion TO refer to
this permit grating" game in the
council before, and to show that it's
references have borne good fruit we
herewith quote from an able morn
Ing contemporary the following COM
ment on Judge Tuley's recent ruling
in the premises:
There IL a much needed tonic for
the aldermen In Judge Tuley's com
mcnt upon their practice Of rushing
through resolutions by which individu-
ais here and there are exempted from
the operations Of the building ordi-
nances. Every such resolution is, as
the judge says, class legislation, and
even If 1t We're not in excess of the
powers OF the council as he maintains,
the practice would be lndefens!blc II
any existing rule appears 10 be i'll
advised the proper thing 10 do Is 10
abrogate or amend 1t, as was done in
the case Of the restriction upon the
height Of buildings,
The class that Is favored Is perhaps
not very well defined, but 1t may be
roughly indicated as the class with in
fOOcncc" This may he acquired by
virtue of wealth and business success
or by a lively participation in politics
or by personal claims upon the alder
men or their chief supporters. But II

origin may be, and its success results
In a rank injustice to scores upon scores
of people who would like to add pro
jections to their houses or to expand
their sheds into barns. but who take
the word of the building department
that the ordinances are prohibitive and
obey the law without further question.
What Judge Tuley has said should
have been said in the council long ago,
and now that the subject IL brought
before the public so forcibly an ener.
getic effort should he made to stoy
the abuses complained Of. There Is IN
excellent opportunity for some alder.
man to distinguish himself as the
watchdog of the building laws.
The adding Of projections to houses
or the expanding of barns are moi
the entire gamut of offence against
the building laws. When one finds
that little bridges span the sidewalks

The New York Court Of Appeals has
recently handed down two decisions
which will be of interest to the whole
business world. The first Is connected
with mans liability for the account
he may give Of himself to a business
agency. A certain New York firm, rep
resented by Clarence Birkett, had told
an agency that Its assets amounted to
more than $l50,00O. In consequence OF
this rating Thomas Tindle had sold
the firm several bills of goods. The
basis of Mr.. Tindles estimate Of the
firm was the information he had re-
celved from the agency. Pretty soon
the firm failed. Mr.. Tindle lost. He
was determined, however, to see that
his deceivers did not get away alto
gether unscathed. He began suit
against them ON charge of fraud.
The defense put up was that the firm
itself had never made misleading rep
reservations to Mr.. Tindle In person.
1t had merely made certain statements
to the agency, and the agency had told
Mr.. Tlndle what II thought 1t knew.
II the blame lay anywhere, then, 1t
lay with the agency. This course OF
reasoning commended itself to the Su-
preme Court and to the Appellate
Court. 1t seemed defective to the
Court Of Appeals. The Judgment Of
the lower courts were reversed. Mr..
