City water has been stolen at the

private company in Brooklyn has for
ten years had mains connected with

sold the water thus appropriated back
TO the city again. The principal ques-
Jion now is as to the amount Of water
drawn OIL and hundreds of men are at

officials had never had any previous
knowledge. How big this network is
cannot yet be told, but the daily loss
of water is already shown TO be nearly
900, 600 gallons and it is thought that
the final figures may double this guam

New York has money enough, but it
is tremendously short of small bills,
especially ones and twos. The bills.
of these denominations in circulation
are so dirty and ill-smelling as to be
a positive menace TO health; and yet
even as it is, there are far from being
enough of them. An official of the
Trust Company of America, which
does a business Of nearly $40, 600, 600 a
year, say that his corporation has
always made q point of serving its
customers with new and clean bills,
but has lately found itself quite
unable to procure ones and twos in
anything like a proper condition. The
trouble is that only $780, 600, 600 out
of a total circulation of g., 5S4, 600, 900
is in bills of these small denomina-
tions, and the general government has
as yet done nothing to supply the de-
ficiency. Meanwhile the phrase
