some of the new treasury notes being is

Claude NJ. johnson, chief of the bureau of
engraving and printing, is securing the big
cities of the country for the best portraits
of the President, to be used for the pur-
pose named
The law does not permit the face of a
living man to adOrn a treasury note This
gould not be done without a special act of
Congress. In the remote future, when
President Mckinley has passed to his re-
ward, his vignette will no doubt appear on
securities Of this country. The bureau of
engraving and printing for some time has
been seeking photographs of the President
rms has been done in the cases of all Pres
idents. These portraits are placed away
and when the law permits them to be used
on securities of any kind they will be handy
for the purpose, the best photograph al
ways being taken.
The bureau will soon make a vignette of
the President to place in the collection of
Presidents at the White House.

Reported Monthly

A Record Of Delinquent Clerks to Re
Reported Monthly.
New rules and regulations governing the
Treasury Department have made their ap-
pearance. This is done with each admins
tration, the rules being posted in conspicu-
Gus places.
There is no material change from the
rules of previous years, with the exception
of an indication in several places of the
Secretary's intention to more thoroughly
enforce the civil service rules than they
have ever before been enforced.
The recent order requiring a record to be
kept of deficient and delinquent clerks and
other officials is emphasized in the new
rules by ftalic letters, the section reading:
The report of deficient and delinquent
clerks. required by the 18th section of the
act of August 26, 1872, will be made month";
ly, as required by said act" The Italicized
portion follows in these words: And i'm Ain
cases where clerks having higher salaries
are less efficient than those having less
salaries, that fact shall be reported. that
the salaries may be arranged on the ground
Of merit only"
The rules regarding smoking are not SO
stringent as in previous years. Smoking Is
now prohibited in the files rooms. but NOT
elsewhere. -'''
