the currency is being printed it is sent
to various sections of the country.
Emergency Bank Notes.
In the new notes several changes are
made over the issues of 1S82, the re-
verse on the bills under the Vreeland
bill being of a completely new design.
The broad square has been stripped of
its scroll work, and in the white space
appear the large figures "1SS2-190S."
In the ovals at the sides are pictures
of George Washington and the Un-ited
States capitol. The faces of the bills
vill remain the same, witti the ex
ception that the words "deposited with
the United States treasurer at Wash
ington" will be eliminated and the
phrase "or other securities" substi
tuted to follow the statement that
"this note is secured by bonds of the
Tnlted States."
New Municipal Building.
After four yeare of construction
work the handsome white marble
home of the District government at
Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania
nrenue, to be known as the municipal
building, is completed and is ready for
occupancy.
The big structure will house the
various branches of the local govern
ment, and the duties performed for
many years in the present official home
of the District authorities in Louisiana
avenue will henceforth be fulfilled in
the new building.
Cost Two and a Half Millions.
; Tossibly no edifice has been co:i
, Btructed in the District during the
present generation that has inspired
more real interest and is the cause for
more pride on the part of the citizens
of the nation's capital than the new
municipal building. It is considered
ns handsome as any public structure
In Washington and compares most fa
vorably with any other municipal
building in the United States.
'. The building is of imposing appear
ance. It is treated from an architec
tural standpoint In columnar style
throughout, the rear elevation being
practically the same in design as the
front. The columns extend on either
side as well as on the front and rear.
Jt is believed that in the future the
rear of the building will be almost
equally as prominent as the front
1 A Fine Recreation Ground.
, Few if any of the latter day resb
dents of the District of Columbia have
failed to enjoy one or more of the fea
tures of the park along the Potomac,
its smooth wide drives, its new ath
letic field, its shady walks, its wall
butting right on deep water for the
fishermen and its cinder paths for
equestrians. Then, too, all lovers of
out of door life in the capital find
pleasure in anticipation of the greater
improvements to come, when the park
is extended below its present bound
ary at Fourteenth street southwest all
the way to the junction of the Wash
ington and Georgetown channels, so
that the entire southeastern front of
the city will be a solid stretch of
greensward, shaded by trees and main
tained as a recreation ground for the
public.
Flats Transformed.
And further comes the promise,
forecasted in recently proposed legisla
tion, contemplating the "open valley
treatment" of the shores of Rock
creek, that the whole system of Rock
Creek park and Totomac park will be
converted Into one great playground,
affording some of the finest and long
est drives of any park in any city in
the world.
Scores, possibly hundreds, of the citi
zens of the District of Columbia re
member the time when the present Po
tomac park was nothing but a waste
of fiats and swamp lands, its noisome
expanse not only a blot to the south
ern approach to the capital of the na
tion, but a positive and ever present
menace to the health of the commu
nity. A Capital Goose.
r One of the queer and frequent eights
of Washington which in their mediae
val bizarrerie recall Don Quizote or Ae
rop's fables or Rabelais is that of a
tall and stately goose calmly ambling
down the avenue, close on the heels
of its doting master, who is a waiter
at Harvey's, the time honored restau
rant of the capital. The ungainly
fowl, unmindful of the traffic in the
busiest part of the town, pursues his
friend, often capped and aproned, with
the fidelity of a secret service guard.
The goose and the man are the great
pst chums. The spectacle Is grotesque
ud freakish In the extreme.
Plan New Courthouse.
Id a few days construction work
will begin on one of the finest court
buildings in the country for the Dis
trict court of appeals. An appropria
tion of $200,000 made by congress for
this purpose became available July 1.
For many years there has been a
need of a separate building in keeping
with the dignity of the court. In their
present cramped quarters, in a email
wing of the courthouse, the appellate
court Judges virtually have been
"camping out"
The new structure will occupy a site
In Judiciary square, between the Unit--d
States courthouse and the pension
office building and facing E street
northwest Within a year It will be
teadr for occupancy. In point of archi
tectural design the building will be a
modeL It will be of marble construc
tion. CABL SCHOFIELD.

SHE WAS CARELESS.
And So the Careful Husband Decided
to Teach His Wife a Lesson.
"My wife has a disagreeable habit of
leaving her pocketbook in exposed
places," said the man who was telling
the story. "I bad cautioned her more
than once that she would lose it if she
wasn't more careful.
'"I came downtown with her the other
morning, and the first thing she did
nfter boarding the car was to deposit
her purse upon the car seat, while she
relieved herself of the terrible sus
picion that her hat wasn't on straight
A movement of her arms knocked the
purse on the floor, where it remained
until I picked it up.
"I rescued that purse no less than
a dozea times before we reached the
bargain counter that was the goal of
my wife's ambition.
"Events around a bargain counter
occur with kaleidoscopic swiftness, and
I soon found myself the sole guardian
of my wife's purse, which lay before
me on the counter where it had beep
deserted by her In a mad rush for the
other end of the counter.
"To teach her a lesson I emptied the
contents of the purse in my pocket and
retreated to the edge of the crowd to
await developments.
"It wasn't long before my wife
crowded her way out, triumphantly
holding aloft a twenty-five cent cream
Jug that Bhe had succeeded in buying
for 49 cents.
" 'I didn't know that they charged
things here.V I began feebly.
" 'They don't,' she answered. I have
money left for three ice cream sodas
and a strip of car tickets.' And she
exhibited the contents of her purse to
prove her assertion.
"I nearly fainted when it dawned
upon me that I had taken the contents
from a purse belonging to some other
woman.
"I have no desire to retain possession,
and if the woman who lost 79 cents, a
postage stamp, three hairpins and a
recipe for making angel food will call
at my office she may have her prop
erty." Detroit Free Press.
Finished Him.
"Yes," prattled the artless damsel, "I
have eight brothers and four sisters.
There were sixteen in mother's family
and fourteen in her mother's. It's fun
ny about our family. Now, my oldest
Bister"
"Maude," gasred the young man,
"you mustn't take what I've been say
ing to you seriously. I hope you er
understand that It was only a flirtation
and that when I asked you to become
my wife I er well, you understand,
don't you?"
Through Foreign Eyes.
Two foreigners were watching their
first game of baseball.
"Dot ras a dangerous game, yah?"
said the German.
