A NEW COIN. THE aCONANT.v

When the new coins for the Philip
pine circulation were struck the need
of a name for them was felt. II would
not do to call them dollars, because
they were different in value from both
the United States dollar and that of
Mexico. nor was il deemed quite the
right thing to have them popularity
known as pesos for similar reasons.
But the coins were not long nameless.
Almost as soon as the first shipment
reached the islands the Manila news
papers referred to the coins as Co
nants." Then the Hong Kong papers
took up the name, using the quotation
marks. But in a surprisingly short
time the quotation marks were dropped.
and now prices are quoted and even
advertised in conants, the capital in
itial even being dropped.
The name of the new coin, which
seems destined to stick 10 it unless
Congress takes the matter up and de-
crees otherwise, is in honor of Mr..
Charles A. Conant, formerly a Wash
ington newspaper correspondent for a
great commercial journal and at pres
ent secretary of a big trust company
in New York city. Mr.. Conant is a
financial expert. Some two years ago
he was commissioned by the govern
ment to visit the Philippines and make
a study of and report on their financial
needs. 1t was ON Mr.. Conants re-
port and recommendation that Con-
gress based the bill authorizing a
special Philippine coinage and fixing
the legal tender value of the unit coin
at 80 cents, American. He is, there
fore, regarded as the father of Philip
pine coinage, and his name has been
given to the monetary unit. Gov. Taft
has recently issued an order setting
forth the mark that is to designate
the new money. The order states that
the letter P, with two vertical lines
through the upper portion, shall dis
tinguish the conant from the $-mark
of the regular United States currency
and the Pts for Mexican and Spanish
currency.

TIE TILLMAN TRIAL.

The trial at Lexington, S. C., Of
James H. Tillman for the murder of N.
G. Gonzales, which began yesterday,
will be followed with interest by the
country at large, on account of the
prominence of the parties to the trag-
edy and the sensational manner in
which the victim was shot down on the
streets of Columbia. The story of the
homicide is too fresh in the public
mind to be repeated here. The salient
features of it are that Mr.. Tillman, a
nephew of United States Senator TIL
man and at that time Lieutenant Gov
crnor of the state, left the Senate
chamber where he had been presiding,
and walked dam Main street accom-
panied by two close political and per-
sonal friends. On the street, in front
of the Capitol, Mr.. Tillman met Mr.
Gonzales, pulled a pistol out of his
pocket and shot him down. Mr.. Con
zales was not armed Mr.. Tillman's
defense is that he had reason to APP
prehend personal injury at the hands
of Mr.. Gonzales, having been warned,
and that he shot in self-defense. Mr..
Gonzales was one of the best known
men in the state. He was sincerely
admired by large number of friends
and acquaintance for his fearless and
brilliant treatment of public matters In
the columns of his paper, the State, but
at the same time he was cordially dis
liked by another element who had felt
the sting of his pen or feared they
would feel it.
Practically from the day of Mr.. Con-
zalss' death, which occurred three or
four days after the shooting, there has
been felt by the people a deep convic-
ton that Mr.. Tillman would come
clear" And this has been entirely out
side of any consideration of what the
evidence might develop. That such
feeling should find Judgment with the
people is unfortunate. since it preju-
dices the court as we'll as the defend
ant; but that the opinion prevails is
fact that forces itself into notice.
That the trial will be a notable one
is assured by the great array of coun-
sci that has been employed and the
prominence of many of those in attend
ance. Senator Tillman will be present
to look out for his nephew's interests
and not less than seventeen lawyers
will take part in the proceedings. A
mass of direct and collateral evidence
will be introduced and the court viii
be kept busy with rulings on the tech
nicalities that are sure to be advanced
and urged. 1t is expected that the
trial will last at least ten days and
possibly two weeks. The judge who Is
presiding at the trial is known and re-
spected as a fair-minded and upright
man. His position is the more dell
cate for the reason that he has been
politically and personally intimate
with the TinmaIls for some years.

Sir Gilbert would Buy Time.

Ever since Sir Gilbert Parker became
a member of the British Parliament,
says Success he has been forced to
work at a double pace in order to keep
up with the demand for his literary
products. In person Sir Gilbert is of
lower middle hight, with keen light
eyes, and is alert in manner, nOtwith-
standing a certain substratum of Brit
ish reserve, which only serves to cover
a Western spirit of enterprise and uni
versatility. After d recent session of
Parliament, he was hurrying to his
home in Carlton House Terrace Lon
don, to complete some literary work.
He was thinking that what he most
needed was time, more time-longer
days and longer hours. AS he FASTENED
through a. park he noticed the groups
of idle men that filled the benches. APP
preaching several men, he said:
You men seem to have lot
of time that you do not know
what to do with. Now l am a
busy man, and need more
hours in every day and more days in
every week to complete the work
have mapped out. If any of you can
possibly devise a scheme whereby l can
buy for cash some of your idle hours,
just call on me. | often wonder that
so many men are weighted down with
time that they have no use for.
With that Sir Gilbert pulled one of
his cards from his pocket, left it with
the group. and walked away.

Not His DimcuIties.

About a quarter of century ago
the artist Whistler went through the
bankruptcy court-a sequel to the
Whistler Ruskin trial, which brought
him only a farthing damages and a
very long bill of costs. The testers
made merry and Whistler with them.
1t was said that Whistler. the man of
arrangements in color. was beaten
at last-he could not make an arrange
ment with his creditors. There were
comedies enacted in Whistler's home,
as when (by a borrowed idea) the
bailiff's man, put into evening dress,
added to the artists glories by wait

affair was over a friend congratulated
him on having come through his diff

HATS OFF,
Facts About the American Indians
Healthy Hair.

The American Indian accustomed
from time immemorial to go bare
headed in all kinds of weather is never
troubled with falling hair or badness.
The close atmosphere caused by our
civilized" heed-gear is conductive to
the breeding of infnitesimal germs
which dig into the scalp and thrive on
the sap of the hair-root.
This true cause of badness is of re-
cent discovery and explains the non
success of all hair-vigors which treat
ed badness as a functional disorder
Newbro's Herpicide is a direct exter-
minator of the germ. 1T destroys the
cause and permits the hair to grow rs
