A DEMAND FOR MONEY.
Special Dispatch 70 Evening Capital.


New York, Dec. IL The Sub Treas
ury is kept busy these days filling the
demand for Christmas currency. The
amount of new money required at this
season amounts in the aggregate to q
very large sum, though naturally the
greater demand is for coins and bills
of the smaller denominations. Ten
days or two weeks before Christmas,
when the holiday trade appr caches
the fioodtide, the New York depart
ment stores take great quantities Of
small coins from the Sub Treasury.
The amount taken in pennies is very
large. as much as $40, 600 in pennies
being taken at a time. The reqests
for new currency are not, however,
restricted to the humber copper cent
or even to one and five dollar bills.
MANY new $50 gold pieces are in de-
mand. There are probably very few
neople who have any need of $40, 900
gold certificates for Christmas presents,
and for the most part those who ask
for such bills need no more than one
of them. The rule. however, is not
ipyariable. Last Christmas as many
as six such bills we're taken by the
same individual to distribute on
Christmas morning to the members of
his family

Grafton Of the Rev. N. d. Aves as
Episcopal Bishop of Mexico took place

brilliant of its kind ever seen in this
city. Christ Church, where the con-
secration took place. was crowded

ginning of the ceremony. Prominent

Right Rev. j. S. Johnston, Bishop of
Western Texas; Right Rev. w. A.
Leonard, Bishop of Ohio. The Right
Rev. Fl. d. Ayes becomes the first

necessity for a bishop of the sou thern

but it was not until the late Episco-
pal General Convention that decisive
action in the matter was taken.

PRICE ONE GENT
HOSPITAL BOARD 70 MEET
REGULAR MONTHLY GATH
ERING TOMORROW
To Organize And Elect Officers
For The Ensuing Year
Other Matters.

The regular monthly meeting of tina
Board of Managers of the Annapolis
Emergency Hospital Association will
be held tomorrow at the residence Of
the President, Mrs. George w. Miller,
College avenue.
This will be- the first meeting after
the annual meeting of the Hosnital
Association, at which the new board
was elected on Monday. December 8.
At this meeting two of the me mbers
OF the old board withdrew from tho
membershin-Mrs. j. q. Cresap, its
first president. and Mrs W. H. Burns,
one of the members last year. In
their places Mrs. Anne Burton Jeffers.
the state Librarian. and Mrs Law
renee Bailliere were elected.
AT tomorrow's meeting the new
board will organize and elect officers.
There are several spoken of for presi.
dent of the Board of Lady Managers
Among those prominently mentioned
is Mrs. Feldmeyer, wife of DR..
George L, Feldmeyer. II is said to be
the wish of the board that the present
incumbent continue to serve, but in
event that she declines, Mrs. Field.
meyer will, in all probability. be
elected.
The secretary, Miss Katherine Wal
ton, will also retire from this posi-
tion. Miss Walton finds the work so
much interferes with her studio work
that she is obliged to give il up She
Will continue member of the board.
Ii is difficult matter to choose "a
secretary. Among those prominently
mentioned are Miss Kate Randall and
Miss Kate Andrews.
Tue faithful and efficient and most
capable treasurer, Mrs. John W. Mar
tin, who has for three years served in
this capacity, will relinquish the
reins of office. although the consen.
sus OF opinion of the board is that
Mrs. Martin continue to serve. Should
she positively decline to serve and lay
down the robes of office, the board
will find 1t most difficult task TO
select treasurer. Mrs. Jeffers. Mrs.
Murray and Mrs. Bailliere have been
mentioned for this position on the
board
Probably the most important duty
TO be performed by the board at its
meeting tomorrow will be the oonsid
ovation Of the resignation Of Miss Ruth
A. 4. Adamson, Superintendent of the
hospital. Although it has been rumor-
| ed that Miss Adamson has resigned,
the board, as body. knows nothing
of it, and will be informed officially
tmorrow at its meeting. Miss Adam
son has rendered her resignation to
the President of the Board of Mana
gers, to take effect January l5 The
board will consider the matter of ap-
pointing successor.
The only reason assigned for the
su uperIntendent' resignation is the
| contracted field. There is little scope
for hospital work and experience here,
and Miss Adamson desires a larger
field and has more ambitious pros
poets. 1t is with regret she tenders
her resignation and sewers her oonnec-
tion with the Board of Lady Managers,
the Medical Staff and Advisory
Board, with all of whom her relations
have been most pleasant and satisfac-
tory. The board will take official ac-
tion on this matter tomorrow.

cradle Trouble.

Ice is accunulating in the Chesa.
peake and mariners scent more trouble
The effect is already pronounced on
the oyster market, and the specula-
tive spirit is abroad among merchants
in that commodity. with the prospect
that prices will continue to stiffen.
The steamer Anthony Groves, from
Philadelphia, reported heavy ice off
Betterton and three inches in the
canal. and the Susquehanna reported
ice troubles in Worton creek. The
Sasasfras is getting worse. but naviga-
tion to Georgetown is still open. The
steamer Emma A. Ford reports q
sturdy battle with ice in the Chester
river and in Queenstown creek. The
steamer Minnie Wheeler reported ice
in Tuckahoe river and the JOppa the
same in the Choptank. Steamers of
the Rock and Stony Greek Company
are plowing through ice in those
creeks.
Captain j. W. Smith, of the oyster
schooner Maggie Corbett, which ar
rived at Baltimore yesterday, reports
that Eastern Bay. between Poplar
Island and Kent Island, was frozen
over witha heavy sheet of ice Satur-
day and Sunday. On Monday the ice
began to break up. owing,to the south
erly wind blowing, releasing a number
of vessels held fast there.
