MEXICAN GOVERNMENT TOUR

MEXICAN GOVERNMENT FOUR
 PER CENT BOND-0FFER
 Additional evidence of the rapidly increasing wealth of the United States, and also the fact that 1t has beeezne a creditor instead of a debtor nation as was the case up to few years ago is shown by the successive absorption here of the first class bonds of foreign governments. The issue offered to in- vestors is that of s4O,oOO0oO of per cent gold bonds of che United States of Mexico. It will be remembered that this issue was taken from the Mexican Government by syndicate managea by Speyer & co. of New York. These bankers now announce that they have sold privately obout S25,00O,oG0 of tht issue and offer the balance for publis subscription at s4 per cent. and ac- crued interest.
 The bonds which are in denomina- tfons of $500. as well as s10O0. are pay able in United States gold coin or in the equivalents in foreign currencies. They run for fifty years, maturing Decem- Der 1st, 1854, and interest is payable semi-annually on June 1st and Dec ember 1st of each year. Both principal and interest are payable in New York, London, Frankfort o-M. Berlin and Paris. A semi-annual sinking fund provides for the gradual retirement of the bonds, during the first five years. They are to be drawn for redemption at par and after that will be purchased l in the market should the price be below par, otherwise they will be drawn at par. They are exempt from all Mexi- can taxes now existing or that may be 1 levied in the future
 The proceeds of the bonds are to be used to pay off $1S,500 900 Az per cent gold treasury notes maturing June | 1905, and June 1, 1906, which have been called for redemption on February I 1905; $15,12S,0O0 6 per cent Mexican i Silver Subvention bonds for the Vera Cruz & Pacific Railway and the Mexi- amounts of special Mexican Silver certificates issued for the construction and exploitation of the Tehuantepec Railway, and the Harbor works at the l Ports of Coatzacoalcos, Salina Cruz Vera Cruz and Manzanillo. By the contract of purchase from the Mexican Government the balance of the proceeds I is to be used for payment far the fore. going public works not yet completed.
 Subscription lists will be open at 1C o'clock at the offices of the bankers or Dec. IS and will be closed at 3 o'clock or earlier on the same day. Payment for bonds allotted must be made in New York funds on or before Dec. 21. Pend ling the delivery of defnitive bonds temporary certificates will be issued by Spreyer & Co. Subscriptions will be opened simultaneously in London bs Messers. Sprey Bros. and in Amster- dam by Messers. Teixeir de Mattos i Bros.

GRATIFYING WORK.

Of the Visiting Nurse Association.
 The Visiting Nurse association, or ganized last May. with Miss Lillian E. Prudden. president, Mrs. Thomas G. Bonnet, vice president, Mrs. c. A. Harmount, secretary, Mrs. Albert s. Holt, treaurer, is meeting with much encouragement from those who recog- nize the conditions existing in some portions of our city.
 Nearly $9000 have been paid into the endowment fund, and several hundred more in annual subscriptions.
 The association has secured Miss Mary Grace Hills, a graduate of Rhode Island hospital, and afterwards super intendent nurse in the general hospital of Central Maine, who enters upon her labors as the Sarah J. Hume mem orial nurse, January 15.
 Miss Hills brings the highest com mendations of physicians and officials, an experience gained by private nurs- ing at Providence, and two years in district nursing in MiddletoWn, Conn; a strong winning personal presence and broad knowledge of the need in poor homes of kindly ministrations and ad- vice in sickness and instruction in all sanitary and preventive measures.
 Few besides physicians and mission visitors realize the utter disregard of the city's health and the unnecessary suffering among our ignorant and care. less poor.
 The association has the cordial sup port of the city physicians, at whose suggestion it was organized, and it earnestly solicits from the public funds for the pressing work.
 Money in large or small amounts for the endowment fund as annual sub scriptions or simply gifts for present needs may be sent to the assistant treasurer, Miss Mary E Scranton, 115e Chapel street.
 Orders for the nurses may be tele' phoned to the rooms of the United Workers, 200 Orange street. and will be promptly attended to.

Superintendent Amrhyn Acts to Protect
 Citys Right of Way
 Acting with orders from the park commission, Superintendent G. X. Am rhyn went out to John M Greist's big 700-acre tract of land in Westvi1le, call- ed Marvelwood, yesterday and forcibly razed the gates at one-of the entrances 2to the estate. The gate as 1t stood barred the road to a piece of city prop erty known as Woodfield park, and the city claims that it's rights are being vi- plated when the right of way which it with. Woodf1eld park is within Mr. Greist's enclosure, and he had erected a wire-mesh fence nine feet high about his land.
 Z. Some action on the part of MT. Greist is now looked for. Lawyer w. H. Ely, who represents Mir Greist in the mat ter, declined to say what would be done.
 It is contended that by throwing. open the gate the city places the .,nr- den of proof on Mr Greist, instead of being put into the position of proving its claim
 The action was only taken after care ful consideration

 Japan Who Was at one Time Stu
 dent in New Haven.
 The following letter from the wife of Count oyama. the chief military officer of Japan at the front. has been receiy- ed by resident of this city who knew her when she was a student in New Haven:
 Dear MT.
 Your letter enclosing a check for III has been duly received. I do not know how to thank you for such an unexpect- ed sympathy so Iiberally expressed. My English, which never was adequate even in the college days, and which has suffered so much deterioration since, is so bad that am afraid l cannot con- yey to you how much appreciate your generosity.
 I need not tell you that my heart is with the sick and wonded who are suf- fering such pain for their country. They are so patient and so brave and when some of them express their wish to get well soon 50 that they could go back to the front again my heart aches for them and for their mothers and wives.
 The women from the. highest to the lowest are doing their best to alleviate their distress, but when there are So many to care for. it is impossible to give all the comforts they need. shall consult the head surgeon of our military hospital in Tokyo as to the best means of spending your dona- tion, and will write to you again to let you know.what has been done with it. I go to the. hospital two or three times a week to make bandages, etc., with other ladies, but as am on the committee for other charities in con- lnection with this war cannot give as much of my time as I should like, but try to be there as much as possible.
 Once more let me thank you for your generous gift, and hoping you and your family are quite well,
 Believe me, sincerely yours,
