New money and new money designs always
interest the public, and il is probable that
every newspaper reader will examine with
curiosity the first account published OF the ne"
one and two-dOllar silver certificates recently
auth rized by congress, the designs for which
have Just been approved by the secretary or
the treasury and Treasurer Jordan. Mr.

lathe work, except in the center, where tn"
legend describing the character of the note Is
very distinctly carried
NEW DOLLAR CERTIFICATE
The new one-dollar certificate. now in the
hands of the engravcr will be q beautiful
thing TO look at. The one-dOilar legal tender
note familiar to everybody, with its fine Wig
nette portrait of Washington, was always
held as one of the best pieces Of work ever
turned out of the bureau. The new note will
/ be in a sense a match for it. The principal
feature is the vignette portrait. This is a
COPY of the Stuart portrait of Martha Wash
ingtou, generally regarded as one of the most
attractive of all the portraits of the first
presidents wife. This portrait has never been
used upon any of the money or securities or
/ the government. IL Is of large size, and oc-
/ cupes place at the left end of the certificate.
