from his scaffolding and hung in per-
llous position above the marble floor

this experience was responsible for his
death, which occurred on Feb. 4, 1880.

til May, 1884 when the painting was

room for two scenes Of his own de-
signing. Congress would not accept
the Costaggan designs, and members
have been unable to agree on any 9th

Printed a Six Dollar Bill
A unique series of combination ma
1onal bank bills was printed few
days ago at the bureau Of engraving
and printing, which is being called joe
ularly ''the new six dollar bills" among
the employees of the bureau.
A plate maker by mistake issued to
a printer plate for one side Of a one
dollar bill and a plate for one side Of a
five dollar bill instead of the two plates
of a five dollar bill. The work went on
all right for about an hour, when the
girl who assisted the printer in wash
ing the plate after each impression dis
covered that the bills as printed called
for 81 ON one side and So on the other,
and she gave shrek that stopped ev-
cry press In the room.
One hundred sheets Of bills had been
printed, and these were duly burned
and the fact fully established by afi-
davtts that are now snugly ON file in
the archives of the treasury depart

Am Echo on the Civil War.
An interesting incident of the civil
war has been recalled by the intro
duction in the house of a bill to REIN
burse the town of Frederick, Md,
known to fame through Barbara
Frettchte. THIS bill proposes to pay
100000 to the town of Frederick in
return for 100000 which was levied
upon it by General Jubal A. Early. It
appears when Early was raiding in the
Shenandoah valley country in 1864,
prior to the time of his defeat at Win
chester by Sheridan, he took posses
sion of the town of Frederick and
threatened TO burn and pillage the
place unless he was given 100000.
The sum was paid, and the town has
been in debt ever since. Now 1t asks
to be relieved Of its burden. The posi-.
ton taken by the Frederick citizens is
that as Maryland did not secede and
the town Of Frederick was loyal to the
Union In the civil war it was entitled
to be protected by the Federal govern
ment against hostile acts Of the Con
federates

been introduced into the house by Mr.
Patterson Of Pennsylvania to provide
medals for these men. Six Massachu-
sets troops and five companies Of
Pennsylvania militia, whose services it
is proposed to recognize, hurried to
Washington within few days after
