denomination after an original design.
No limited tine is given him, but he is
to do it as soon as he can. The design
takes the longest time.
With a piece of drawing paper before
him, two feet by one foot. or as large
as a good sized writing pad, the man
who makes the money for the Treasury
goes to work upon the bill. He thinks
of allegorical figures, recalls historical
sketches and finally repudiates all and
invents a picture from his own head
an original conception.
In the new one dollar bill that is now
being made in the Engraving Depart
ment of the Treasury the design is a
figure design. The title is History
Instructing Youth A female figure
points to Youth who stands beside her,
the growth of the country. In the dis
lance is the Washington Monument
and the Capitol and upon slab at her
feet is the Constitution OF the United
States.
The drawing for a bill takes three
months, if the artist works upon it IN
dustriously. Mr.. Low once, when
rushed with outside work, did design
in two months. but he did not enjoy the
work. Three or even four months IS
none too much time.
The bill is complete when it leaves
his hands. 1t is like a mammoth note
and would deceive a color blind per-
son at a distance. The color is lack
ing. That is all. It is done in black
and white. and when the engraving is
made it is printed upon greenback Gov
eminent paper. and the seal is done in
deep red. Many of the completed de-
signs are in oil colors, done by the
artist. and are exquisite works OF art.

draw can be noted by studying a green
back. Every mark upon it must be
made by his hand, and made carefully.
If there is a careless stroke the Treas
ury Department, which is a very able
and critical one, will reject it; and the
man VINO makes money will have TO
make it over again.
NOT VERY GOOD MONEY"
The recompense for the designing of
Government bills is very small. 1t is
a great deal less than an able artist
could earn at doing other kinds of
work. In three months he could fresco
a large wall or paint a picture for the
Academy that would bring in its thou
sands But the designing of bank notes
is a matter OF pride with every Ameri-
can artist and he would rather do it
at a paltry sum than paint pictures for
a fortune. Unless necessity cOmpels
an artist to paint for living, he will
do bank notes whenever the govern
ment shall commission him The pay
is sure and good. but it is no such for
tune as great artists get for their pic
lures. Uncle Sam is not niggardly, but

In a quiet spot in New York City,
little suggesting money, there lives an
individual to whom the bond issue
and the bringing out of silver certiti-
Gates and new bills is of more import
ance than to any collection of people
or Wall street syndicate.
This is viii Fl. Low, the star Of the
Government artists and the designer Of
the new money that will appear upon
the street in April.
The making of a dollar bill is to him
the work of months, without consid-
ering the final engraving Of the bill
in the Treasury All the year around
he is busy making money. and, though
he makes it in a different sense from
the money-makers in general, it is no
less a business with him.
The getting out % bond issue is a
different matter from the designing Of
a bill. but it all requires the hand OF
an artist before the bond is ready for
presentation to the public.
MAKING MONEY TO ORDER.
Mr.. Low requires, when there is a
bill to be designed, the commission
from the Art Department Of the Treas
ury. He is engaged by the job, and he
is to get up bill of such and such
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1896-02-23

and United States bonds. Formerly a
good stock portrait would be made OF
a statesman, and this picture, embel-
lished with new lettering and orna-
mented with small designs. would pass
for the new design after which the
bank bills were printed.
The result of this cheap way Of get
ting money made was that the money
o. the United States was a laughing
stock for foreign bank officials. Per-
sons spending money do not notice the
design but the effect upon foreign gov.
erments is better when a really good
piece of art work is placed upon our
bills. Travellers consider the money of
Spain the prettiest money they ever
handle, but in a few years they will
find United States money worthy a
place alongside Spain
GETTING UP BONDS.
When there is a bond issue. as in the
present case, and bonds are issued in
what may be called an emergency
manner. without ceremony beyond the
receiving Of bids. the United States
does not commonly order a special de-
sign for its bonds The Treasury
makes a selection from an old engrav-
ing. perhaps a picture of a statesman
and sets it in new drawing. which.
being properly lettered and ornament
ed, answers the purpose Of an elabor-
ate new design.
When the United States chooses to
do this. il is perfectly correct to do so.
Few persons see the Government bonds.
and the engraving department. which
is very economical in its inside work
ings. considers the bond plenty good
enough for its limited circulation. In
the matter OF a bill It is different. A

THE POET STODDARD.

Continuing my walk a bit farther I
encountered on the promenade Richard
Henry Stoddard, the oldest civil service
habitue of the city, and who, like Lamb,
Anthony TrollOpe and Edmund Yates,
alternated official life with literary pur-
suits. He grows more distinguished
in looks as years accumulate laurels
on his poetic head. One of his latest
verses was in my mind as he passed
verses recounting memories:

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
MaceO and His STAFF Ambuscaded and
Shot to Death.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 12.-The Commercial
Tribunes special from Jacksonville, Fla,
says: j. A. Huau, agent of the Cuban Jun
to in this city, received a long letter this
noon from his confidential correspondent
in Havana, giving full details of the assas-
sination, too foul for civilized nations of
the earth to tolerate. Yes said Huau,
''Maceo is dead, but Cuba will live long
The death of no one man can crush the
brave spirit of the patriots of Cuba, who
are fighting gallantly for liberty"
The letter to Mr.. Huau gives virtually
the same account Of the ambuscade and
death of Maceo as already given by the
Associated Press tonight. Mr.. Huau said
tonight: THE Spaniards say that they do
not know where Maceo's body is. They
know full well. They have buried Ii to
cover their treachery to a degree. and will
exhume it soon and say, 'Ah, here is the
body Of Maceo' From to-day Cuba will
fight harder than ever before. This will be
a sad day for Spain. / do not know who
will succeed Maceo, but think it will be
Col. Rios Rivera, a brave and intelligent
soldier
The letter goes on to say that as Maceo
crossed the trocha, going to the place ap-
pointed for the meeting. he passed the
Spanish sentinels under Spanish protection,
and that they presented arms in his honor
Going forward some four miles from the
trocha, Maceo and his staff, numbering
thirty-five men and officers, came to a hill
side thickly studded with small pines and
underbrush. Here q Spanish outpost was
observed. Maceo sent forward his flag
and in few moments he was signaled TO
advance AS the party did so hundreds of
brush. completely surrounding the party.
Major Cirujeda galloped up and demanded
Maceo's surrender.
Never shouted the intrepid Cuban
leader, drawing his sword as he saw that
he was entrapped.
ardsi' said Cirujeda.
At this the Spanish soldiers poured fire
of leaden bullets. Maceo fell at the first
fire and young Gomez next The fire was
continued until every man was killed ex-
cept Dr. Zcrtucha, whom the Cubans say
is a traitor. The bodies OF Maceo and
young Gomez were then tied to the tails OF
the soldiers horses and dragged over the
field so as to dlshgure them. the Span
iards did not wish TO have them discovered
and identified at first. 1t is stated that this
murder leaked out through a drunken
Spanish soldier while in Havana day or
two after the assassination.
The Cubans here are in state OF great
excitement, and swear that Cuba shall be
free. over s. 600 was subscribed to-day for
the Junta TO keep up the war with.

Success can only be assured by going back

Many Doctors can see theeffects only, such
as are visible to the eye, aud treat the SYM

many failures. The skilled Specialist devotes
