The new one dollar bills of 1899 is
sue have made their appearance.
They are printed from entirely new
designs, and are practically free from
the defects of the old issues. The
numerals are very large, and thus the
danger OF being raised is materially
reduced The distinguishing feature
of the note is a spread eagle, with a
United States flag in its talons, and
the United States capitol building in
the distance. Miniature portraits of
Lincoln and Grant, surrounded by
laurel wreaths, are placed on the low
er line of the face of the note. and one
large numeral and the seal are printed
in blue. The back of the note is
printed in green, and on both face
and back there is more uncovered
white paper showing than on any
note hitherto printed. this being in
accordance with the ideas of eXper-
fenced treasury officials.

ADMIRAL DEWEY.

1t may seem sacrilegious to say 90,
but it has developed that Admiral
George Dewey is only a man "for a.
that" We did not expect that the AID,
mira!, drawing a salary Of $13 .OO0 per
year and having Just received other
thousands for sinking the Spanish
ships in Manila Bay, would accept the
house which some notoriety seekers
have collected money to purchase for
him. But he has done 80 and he also
intimates that said house would be even
more acceptable if properly furnished.
Admiral D3wey is q great man, a very
great man, but distance lends enc1Rnt
ment to the view, and D3Wey stood
higher in the estimation Of the Ameri
can people while ne remained at Manila
than he does now that he is in America.

Reception with it's glory and grandeur

D9wey, unlike thu hero whom the r :
