Nuisance Committee Laboring Under Misunderstanding Bcgnrding Slaughter House. The nuisance committe of council at the recent regular meeting reported to tihe general council to the effect that of the live alleged nuisances but two were found to be such. Begarding the slaughter house maintained in Cranberry alley, the chairman of th nuisance committed reported having investigated it and found it thoroughly clean. It was not from that point of view a nuisance, and council for that reason did not act on it. Such was likewise the case with the East Knd Dairy. Those who complained of the slaughter house on 'Craniberry alley did not allege that the establishment was dirty—the proprietor is to be commended for keeping such a sanitary place. The complainants did, allege, however, that the bawling of the cattle as they were skilled, the stench arising from burning refuse and rendering, as well as the dense smoke at such times constituted a nuisance. These allegations were evidently not investigated by the nuisance committee.Two surprisingly small crowds witnessed the Johnson-Jeffries tight picture at tho Jefferson Theatre Saturday afternoon and evening. Tho lack of interest in the pictures was probably due to the fact that too ions a time had elapsed since the big bout and because the negro was the victor. Six reels of pictures were thrown on the screen, owing to the notables at the tight, Johnson and Jeffries In training anil the fight itself. \\ hen the pictures were being taken the machine was evidently removed about one hundred feet from the ring and for that reason the in-tighting and the expression on the faces of the lighters could not be seen.

The department might feel warranted In proceeding to change the designs of the notes without awaiting the suggestions of banking institutions, but a somewhat different proposition is presented in the plan to reduce the size of the notes to 8 by 2 1-2 Inches. The department recognizes that public convenience Is more or less involved in a system to which most or the cash drawers and pocketbooks of the country have been adapted, hence it is disposed to welcome critisms and suggestions from bankers and business men- before attempting any radical change. Undier authority of Secretary Mac- Veagh, a special committee of Treasury officials has been at work for months upon the details involved in The class to which the note belongs whether gold or silver certificate or United States note, may be readily determined1 by Varying the color In which the seal on the right side of te note and the denomination numeral on the left are printed. The printing of these will continue to be done by a separate process, hence the distinction suggested involves no additional expense. The name of the class will be repeated many times on the face and back of the note as at present. terfeits, experience having clearly shown that it is impossible for the most expert engraver to reproduce an exact facsimile of a portrait, even it the face has been engraved by himself.-Si*- Urns Mm FcJyrtunes in dKo.
