RARE CoNrEDERATE MONEY.


some bills, Once Dcspised, Now
Worth More Than Par.
COME crate money is not 20 be bought
by the barrel nowadays, said q collector
OF money whose collection emhrsees
nearly every kind of paper currency ever
issued in this country. On the contrary,
this sort OF money is becoming very
scarce, particularly in the southern states.
During the last years of the war, when
the housewife who went - market was
forced to carry with her basket full of
this money in order to purchase enough
provisions 10 all the basket, few dreamed
that this despised money would ever bring
a premium. Yet to-day there are several
recorded instances in which bills have
brought ion per cent. above their face
value.
One story is told OF disgusted posses
sof OF quantity OF Confederate money
who, in order 10 find out whether the
stuff still had any value whatever, pinned
one night during the last year OF the war
bill OF 500 denomination on a hitching
post in front OF a store. The next morn
ing he went down 10 see II Il was still
there, and lol another bill OF equal de-
nomination had been pinned on top OF it.
Those same two bills would now be worth
$40 or more.
of recent years many collectors have at
last appreciated the beauty and variety of
this extensive issue, with the result that
the sslost cause" money is not only getting
less plentiful, but prices are growing
making il necessary now to pay substan-
tial sums for varieties which few years
ago could have been obtained for little.
The revival of interest in the collection
of this money has had the effect of bring
| ing to light many varieties Of which all
record had been lost, until to-day there
have been definitely listed more than 2 500
varieties. A few years sgo only a little
more than 1900 were known.
| The rarest OF all the issues sre those OF
/ Montgomery, where Confederate money
was first printed. This issue was not very
/ large, and every one OF these bills now
commands a premium. Only notes oil
large denomination were produced at the
Confederacy's first capital, these being OF
q 900, 500, 800 and $50.
The rarest of all the bills is that OF $500
which bore interest at the rate of five
cents day. In fine condition 1t readily
brings from s25 to s35.
The next in point of rarity is tine 81 ,oct
/ Montgomery bill. When well preserved
this bill is worth so. Then comes the
600 bill This is worth IS. The fourth Of
the Montgomery series, the $50 bill, is
quoted at 81.
The rarest of the bills printed at Rich
mond is the one OF the denomination ot
S.. This shows ON the left hand side
negroes loading cotton. To the right is al
Indian princess. Ii is great curiosity in
| its way, for here we have Confederate
note that has come to be worth double il,
value, as the premium offered for 1t is so
Bills OF the first issue at Richmond hav,
written dates. The highest denomination
was 800, and the chief design was traiI
of cars in the centre. On the left is
figure Of justice, with Minerva on thu

When a physician tells a woman, suf-
fering from female trouble, that an
operation Is necessary il, of course,
frightens her.
The very Thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. As one woman expressed
1t, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operations!
1t is quite true that those troubles
may reach stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than Is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used TO secure instant
relief. this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who. By taking Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan. Treasurer Of St.
Andrews Society, Indianapolis, Ind.
writes of her cure as follows:

FIX RATES FOR
PUBLIC UTILITIES
COUNCIL TAKES UP LIGHT AND
PHONES PROBLEM
New Schedule Goes Into Effect on
July City Attorney Asks
for Report From city's
Inspector

Next Monday afternoon at 3 O'Clock
the city council will take UP the ques-
tion Of fixing the rates for gas, electric
lights and telephone service, according
to the rights given 1t in the utility or
dinance
These rates will be based on the re-
ports Of the various companies sent the
council the last day Of January. When
these rates are fixed they will go into
effect July /.
This action was taken on the recom-
mendatlon of the city attorney. who
yesterday sent q message to the council
to the following effect:
The Provisions
"In the matter of the statements of
the public service companies filed
under the provisions of ordinance No.
10S36 new series), entitled: An ordi
nance regulating the sale of gas and
electric light and the inspection of gas
and electric light meters and the
charges for telephones and telephone
service and connections and referred
by you to this office, l beg to report
that section 1 of that ordinance pro-
vides:
"'That the rates to be charged and
collected by any person, firm or cor
poration for gas or electric light, or
for telephones, telephone service or
connections furnished to the city of
Los Angeles or the inhabitants thereof
shall be fixed at q regular or special
meeting of the city council held during
the month of February of each year,
and shall take effect the first day of
July thereafter, and shall continue in
full force and effect for the term of
one year and no longer
II would, therefore, recommend that
the council appoint a time, at some
general or special meeting, but not
earlier than one week hence, for fixing
the rates to be charged by companies
subject to the ordinance, and that the
clerk be instructed to give notice
thereof to each Of the companies con-
cerned.
Wants Report
"In view of the fact that some Of
the statements filed are quite intricate.
and that the council, in fixing the
rates, should take into consideration
value of the property necessarily used
in rendering the service, and the value
Of the service which the public re-
ceives, I would also recommend that
the council instruct the city gas and
gas meter inspector and the city cleo
trician to prepare a report based upon
said statements, and any other avail
able information, showing the value
Of the property and of the service in
each case, and to submit the same to
the council at such hearing"
