Treasury bills, while admirable as specimens
of engaving and printing, are perfectly COM
monplace and stupid in design, and as for
our gold and silver coinage it is simply
disgrace from every artistic point of view
The new issue of small silver appears from
the description and pictures given to be no
advance on what we now possess. When the
Goddess of Liberty and the American eagle
get on silver dollar they seem to lose their
breeding and to become subdued to the
worst uses to which that dollar can be put.

Tho Musicians Head Of Hair.

Why does musicians hair stand on
end? Perhaps to encourage the bald
headed row. Perhaps it is because of some
subtle mesmeric influence of rosin and cat
gut. 1t is affectation, says a friend 1t is
from listening to his own horrible early dis
cord, says another. Whatever the cause it
is. generally speaking a fact that the hair
of the orchestra has decided upward and
bristling tendency. There is no reason why
n snoe-brush head should attract more at
tention in musician than 1n waiter, OBJ
serves a literary gentleman who 1requents
the French cafes. You will see Il in one as
often as in the other. 1t is purely foreign.
/ am not certain, however, that the shoe
brush head is not a tuneful one. I'll investi-
gate thar. I read n right clever southern
story once about the evolution OF the banjo
and you may discover some correlation OF
the shoe-brush head, the horse hair, the
liner feline and polished sheep and brass"

Coming Out on Election Nights.

-"You'll see men out on election nights"
said John Chamberlain, the club and hotel
man, "you never meet any other time unless
you go to their place of business. Perhaps
you fellows who are always prowling around
and see each other constantly don't think
about this, but it is a curious thing. meet
people election nights 1 never see at any
other time That is why come ont on those
nights particularly myself. L have known
men for 80 years whom I've never met at
any other time. They know all about me
and know all about them, but our lines of
life lie apart somehow, touching only on
election nights. Funny isn't it? And yet
your hotel crowd is but very small part of
the world. 1t is the same crowd almost, year
in and year ont, and you'll find somebody
who has life membership in it in any hotel
in the world where you may happen to stop.

many good fellows who seem to worry along
in this homeless fashion with no apprecia-
ton of the domesticity of the man who
turns up in the lobby only on election
nights, and then retires for another year or

that Mr.. Bancroft could hardly survive
much longer the increasing infrmities Incl
dent to his very great age, BUT he
had been in cheerful spirits and ap-
parently better health this year since his
return from Newport, r. l., than for several
seasons past, SO that his death was sudden
and unexpected to all save few intimate
friends who knew of the attack of illness
which carried him off. Death occurred at
8:40 in the afternoon. The end was quiet
and peaceful, and came after a period of I'M
consciousness lasting about twenty-four
hours.
Mr.. Bancroft for some years past had
been in the habit Of spending about five
months in Newport, R. l., and passing the
winter and colder season of the year in Wash
tngton.
His whole illness was less than three days.
He failed rapidly, and became unconscious
in the afternoon, in which state he remained
until the end.
It was decided that interment should take
place in Worcester, Mass, where Mr.. Ban
croft's wife is buried.
