Souvenir Gold Dollars.

Washington, August l3.-Mr.
Shaw, secretary of the treasury,
held conference today with Mr.. ].
L. Morgan, engraver at the United
States mint at Philadelphia, with
reference to the coinage of the gold
dollars for the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition. Mr.. Morgan, who is
an expert in the matter of engrav-
ing, stated that he believed it would
be possible to include the busts of
both President Jefe and Pres
-ident Mckinley on the face Of the
coin, Notwithstanding it's neces-
sarily small size. This was the
original wish of the exposition
officials, but was abandoned because
it was not thought possible to pro-
perly engrave the two heads on the
face of coin. 1t was then suggest
ed by Mr.. Frances, president of the
exposition company, that half of
the coins bear the bust of President
Jefferson and the l25, 900 the bust
of President Mckinley. This sug-
gestion was approved by Mr.. Shaw,
and may yet be adopted. The sug-
gestion made by Mr.. Morgan will be
submitted to the exposition officials
for their consideration.
After the conference with Secre-
tary Shaw today it was decided to
make the coin more of an exposition
souvenir than was at first proposed.
In the original plan there was no
reference to the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition in the lettering on the
coins. 1t is proposed now to adopt
an entirely new design for the re-
verse side of the coin. Instead of
the usual wreath and the United
States stamp, it is proposed to have
the coin bear the words in the circle
"Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
In the center of the coin will be the
words "one dollar" with. the date,
1901, above the value designation,
and 1904 below it.
Mr.. Armstrong, private secretary
to Mr.. Shaw, and Mr.. Morgan, Will
complete the design for the souvenir
dollar and submit it TO the ex-
position official. 1t is expected that
the coins will be issued from the
mint very early next year, probably
in February.
Gold dollars are now very scarce,
commanding considerable premium
and it is expected that the issue for
the exposition will excite unusual
interest. The coins will be very
small, about the size of the space
within the wreath Of an ordinary l.
cent coin, and will be as thin as a
wafer.
1t will require the greatest skill
of the engraver to propuce the
vignettes of the Presidents that are
to be upon the coins.

Deaths of American Soldiers in Phil
ippines Will Hereafter be Cabled.

W
Especial from Oyster Bay, y. Y, to Globe -Dem-
Ocrat of August 15th.l
An order proceeded from the
presidential luncheon today which
it is hoped will bring comfort and
relief to the hearts of many mothers
of American soldier sons in the
Philippines.
Among the guests at the luncheon
were Adjt. Gen. Corbin, Brig. Gen.
s. M. B. Young.
Generals Corbin and Young had
not expected to have any official
talk with the President. They had
come out to make a friendly visit
on their way from Washington to
Germany, where they are to be the
guests of the emperor during the
German army maneuvers. But one
of their guests told the President of
a number of instances where a great
deal of distress and hardship has
been worked upon the mothers and
families of private soldiers in the
Philippines because the list of deaths
of enlisted men and noncommis-
stoned officers were sent to this
country by mail, and were not ca
bled, as are deaths of officers. In
one case the Presidents guest told
of a mother who heard first of her
sons death four months after it
occurred.
"What excuse is there for it?"
the President asked.
Gen. Corbin explained that every
commissioned officer of the army had
a code number. 1t has been posi-
BILE to report the death of an officer
by the use of single code word
and at cost of about S1.3O. But
the sending of the name of private
or noncommissionedo officer involved
the use Of his full name, his regi-
ment and company and his rank.
The cost of sending all these par
ticulars, Gen. Corbin said, would
make the reporting of the death of
others than officers something like
$50 each. So, when the volunteers
were all home, the war department
stopped cabling home lists of dead
soldiers and sent them by mail in
stead.
81 think they had better be
said the President.
Gen. Corbin suggested that it
would disturb the routine of things
a good deal and cost a good deal
more to send dispatch every time
4 soldier died. The President at |
once said that he though the sending !
Of cable dispatch once in two
weeks containing the names Of those
who had died during that time
would avoid the worst feature of the
present system. He told Gen. Cor
Din that he hoped the matter could

A bashful Young man of Grant

A bashful young man of Grants
vile was invited out to dine last
Monday evening. He was very
much agitated. He sat opposite a
mirror and discovered that he had
forgotten to comb his hair. Then
he dropped his fork on the floor,
and as he stopped to pick it up he
upset the coffee. Matters went
from bad to worse, until finally in
despair the young man quit eating
and put his hands under the table.
The loose end OF the table cloth was
lying in his lap. Whel he touched
it he turned pale. He thought it
was his shirt, and in nervous excite
ment while dressing he had forgot
ten to put the garment inside of his
trousers. That accounted for the
smiles and his embarrassment. He
hurriedly stuffed the supposed shirt
inside his trousers. Afterward,
when the family arose from the
table, there was crash. The dishes
lay in a broken mass on the floor.
The young man pulled three feet of
table cloth out of his pants and fed
to the woods.-Grantsville Signal.
