IS BEING MADE FROM
 MEXICAN SCRIP
Vera Cruz Issue of $5O,0OO, ,OOO Will Be Made into
 Boxes

Mexico City,, Aug. 25.-The de- struction of the so-called Vera Cruz issue of Mexican currency and the is- suance of the new paper money known as 'infalsificab1es'' have made the government printing office one of the busiest spots in Mexico. The Vera Cruz bills, over $5O,OOO,OOO worth of which have been destroyed, are cut into strips in hydraulic press, transformed into pulp and made into cardboard and pasteboard of which there is great scarcity scare ity. This product finds a ready sale and it is possible that the government may also destroy old documents to produce materials for a government box factory in the near future.
 The department now is working at high pressure to turn out the new "infalsificable' S2 bills, sorely need ed because of the scarcity of small change. Not only the modern presses but even the old hand presses are be- ing utilized to expedite the work.
 The tremendous quantity of stamps and post cards printed under the Hu- erta regime are being revaldated by the impress of special die changing the denomination.
 has been begun and it is announced this is to be followed shortly by the coinage of both gold and silver.

WHEEL MEET FRIDAY.

The meet of the Bridgeport Wheel club at Pleasure Beach, next Friday promises to bring out some fast rac- ing men and to offer some good sport. An attempt will be made to give the track a record, and all that is wanted for that is the weather conditions. Fifty entries have been received so far among them some very fast men. The list of entries will probably reach 75.
 Among the local men entered are several new ones, and it is hoped that they will hold up the honor of the town as the local men have in former events. They are: William Pat node, J. B. Garfield, Fred J. Lischke, J. D. Cooper, J. T. Scoda, Joseph Scleicher. William G. Wheeler, and our Tommie Aston. Aston rides for the first time this season.
 Among the professionals entered are the Morgan and Wright team, composed of Gardiner. Ziegler, Ste vens, Clark, Kimball, Hause, Connor, and Boweler; also c. R. Newtown of the Thread City Cycler, will make his first appearance as professional. There are also Maddox, Harvey, Tom Cooper, Reynolds, Thatcher, R. l.. Wehrle, J. Todd Burns, and A. R. Ives of the Meriden Wheel Club who has just been transferred to the pro- fessional class. Also Teddy Good man of New York and Monte Scott of Providence.

ON NAVIGATE PRISON.

The. Controllers report, State of Connecticut in account with Newgate Prison shows strange situation. There is no check whatever on the conduct of the overseers of this pris- on Thsy may become. and in fact de become, its contractors and general agents. They may make to them selves ono thousand or ten thousand dollars, and the whole transaction be buried in profound secrecy, for their accounts as presented are settled as matter of course at the controllers 8 Of1ce.
 Whatever stock they may buy, or work or sell, is of no consequence; for whatever of either article they choose to put in their accounts is al- lowed. Thus they have given us a clue to that strange, mysterious fact of the above account which states that the bare rods to have cost more than A1l fhe nails sold. If you doubt examine for yourselves and you will find the facts SO. IS tons, cwt-, or. s nail rods and transportation thereof $2,S72.91; whole amount of sales from nails, s2,273.49, making a 1oB by manufacturing, exclusive of i3abor and coals of $599.42.

LEAVES POLISH FLOCK
 SHEPHERDLESS
Climate Bad for His Health Says Rev. w. BlasOWSki
 on Retiring.

The congregation of St. Joseph's Polish National Catholic church at 43 California street is without a pastor. The church and parsonage is vacant today, Rev. w. Blasowski, who has oc- cupied the pulpit, having given one weeks notice and departed on Mon- day morning.
 A committee which has been hard put to locate another pastor within the short space of time left by the de- cision of the priest, who had been in stalled here for three months, expect to have the pulpit supplied temporar- lily on Sunday but it probably will be several weeks before a permanent pastor is obtained.
 The first intimation of the decision of Rev. Blasowski to resign came on Sunday when he announced that his health was poor and the atmosphere at Bridgeport was not conducive to improvement.
 s. Lukaszywiski, president of the church society, said to-day that there had been no dissention among the parishioners or friction between pas- tor and flock. Individual members of the congregation were surprised to find that their priest had left for parts as yet unknown, early Monday morn ing. A committee has been author ized to ascertain what debts were con- tracted in the name of the church and to distinguish between those and per- sonal obligations assumed by the pas- tor
 St. Joseph's Polish National Catho- lie church is not connected in govern ment with Roman Catholic Polish churches of this city. It has an in- dependent organization.

 BUILDING AEROPLANES

London, Aug. 25.-"Somewhere in England" there is a government fac tory where aeroplanes, often called the eyes of the army are built almost exclusively by women.
 In one large shed alone women are engaged in making tents to house the machines, the wings of which other women in an adjoining shed cover and paint.
 In one machine shop women are engaged in welding parts of the ma chines-an extremely difficult and delicate work, which requires much patience, concentration and skill. In other shops women are engaged upon presstool work, rough filing, repeti- ton milling, capstan latch work, string sewing and small wood work. The women are also employed upon the inspection of stores and varnish- ing all woodwork.

IS TOURING IRELAND.

It will be a surprise to the friends of Peter Walsh to know that he is now touring Ireland and will, before his return also visit Scotland and oth- CT European points of interest. When MT. Walsh left here a few days ago, his friends thought that he had gone up the Berkshire valley for a brief re- spite. and did not suspect that he was crossing the ocean in one of the big greyhounds of the Atlantic. He kept his intentions to himself, and with the exception of one other person his trip abroad was not known. He arrived fin Queenstown several days ago and immediately left for Dublin where he will be the guest of Hon. Patrick D. Sullivan, the Irish linguist and pro- lessor.
