A POSTAL CURRENCY.

During the last congress a measure
was introduced designed to remove the
terrible Inconvenience which is involved
to the business community in the trans
mission Of small amounts through the
mail. That body, however, passed away
subject, Notwithstanding that business
men in every community united in ex
pressing their anxiety to secure some
scheme which would put an end to the
evil mentioned
A similar measure has been introduced
in both houses during the present session
1t probably represents the former meas
ure with some additions made with a view
to its perfection. Stated in brief. the
measure proposes to dispense with the
present postal order system through tbe
issuance of a form of postal currency.
1t provides that all ST. 81 and S. bills
hereafter issued shall contain blank
spaces on the face of them which NAV
be filed in when it is designed to send
them through the mail by inserting the
name of the proposed payee his city and
state. A 2-cent stamp is thereupon af
1Xed, and the name of the sender writ
ten across the face of the bill. When
the bill is received it may be redeemed
on presentation to any bank, and If is
at once surrendered and another bill Of
the same denomination issued in it's
stead Fractional currency OF the same
character would, under the provisions of
the bill, be also issued for the same
purpose. =
in this way it is proposed to do away
with grievous public Inconvenience in
volved in the necessity of sender and re-
ceiver alike going to the postoff1ce in
order to affect the transmission Of a
small amount of money.
Every publisher has it brought home to
him every day what a business discom-
fort is involved in the absence of some
rational substitute for the present svs-

New York Letter.


NEW YORK, Feb 81. Pierpont Nor
gan has at last acquired all the property
needed for the library and art garden he
has been planning for some time as an
addition to his residence on Thirty-sixth
street
His latest purchase is a lot on East
Thirty sixth street, and gives Mr. Mor-
gan now the entire block on the north
side of Thirty-sixth street between Mad
isOn and Park avenues.
1t is understood that Mr. Morgan's plans
for the proposed library and art gallery
are elaborate, and that work upon them
will begin soon after he returns from his
proposed trip to Europe
The plans include a fairyland garden.
Bold Burglars Steal BELL
The bell of the ParkvilIe Congregational
church, at Eighth avenue and Eastern
parkway, which weighed 1000 pounds and
cost $685. laboriously collected by the pas
tor, Rev. NJ. P. Welcher, has been stolen.
1t had recently arrived from a foundry
in Baltimore and was to have been placed
in the belfry this week. 1t disappeared
during the night Nothing less than a
cart and six burglars could have moved IT.
When last seen 1t rested upon two huge
pianks directly in front Of the door of the
church. Nobody had thought to chain I
to the edifce They would have as soon
thought of claiming the church organ.
but they now regret that a policeman
was not chained in the vicinity.
Tries to Buy st. PauPs site
An offer of 100000 has been made by
a European syndicate for the site of st.
Pauls church, parish house and grave
yard. The parcel occupies the block
bounded by Broadway, Church. Fulton
and Vesey streets, and would be a bargain
at the price named. az 1t would supply
as excellent site for a skyscraper office

MOSQUITO KILLING

Inc war on the mosquito continues and
gathers renewed force as it progresses.
There are millions of the mosquito. and
they are all evidently included in the sp-
preaching era of destruction
The world has great cause 10 rejoice
at the recent discoveries regarding the
mosquito. Few worse pests have beset
the human family. He has been the rest
less and aIl-pervading enemy of human
life and property alike. In his new char
acter as the chief, if not the only agent
for conveying malariaI diseases his fate
has overtaken him.
1t is a pleasant consideration that ON
or the $40 species distributed in twenty
three genera of mosquitoes now infesting-
the earths surface only few species are
capable of conveying disease, and even
these only after they have absorbed the
virus from diseased object. Just what
these species are science tells. The world
will probably never be able to distinguish
among the billions of mosquitoes that in
fest the earth, and 1t never will have anv
adequate reason to do so. There is moth
ing good about the mosquito, not even its
voice. All mosquitoes look alike. and arc
alike in the destruction they effect of hu-
man peace and comfort and of property
values. Thousands of most desirable re-
sorts are ruined by the presence and ac-
uVlty Of the mosquito pest The state or
New Jersey could probably never form
any thing of fair estimate of the untold
millions Of loss which its several localities
have endured alone through the reputa j..
ticn which its mosquitoes have won fol.
themselves as able bodied operators on
the human cuticle.

dsh His intimate destruction is merely

fish, His ultimate destruction is merely
question of time and intelligence.
With the opening of the summer wealth
er the mosquito will again make his ap
pearance. In myriads he will swoop
down on the entire animal creation on this
continent, and he will maintain his activ-
ity until the rivers freeze up. The time
to begin the anti-mosquito crusade is
now. If the residents of any locality want
to rid themselves of this pest they have it
in their power to do SO with a very small
expenditure of either labor or money.
Public officials can lend a hand. The least
expensive, as well as the sloWest, al
though ultimately the most effective Of
waters in regions infested by mosquitoes
with those species of fish, like the gold
fish and the sunfish, and the top-min-
nows, which consume the larvae of the
mosquito. Then the use of the cheaper
grades of oil for use on the more or less
stagnant pools in which these creatures
have their breeding places will be found
quite effective, without involving any
great expenditure. Drainage, of course, is
a measure which will be adopted only
in pursuance of more extended purposes;
but the other two remedies, intelligently
and widely pursued, will in time wipe the
mosquito out of general existence.
Those who desire to learn the most er-
fective modes of procedure can readily 90

subject While the discovery of the death
dealing tendencies of the mosquito is Of
