FIND A NEW FIELD.
Collectors Are Busy With the New
Forms of Currency.

New York, Nov. 23@Numismatists
have found a new field of development
for collection purposes in the great
variety of improvised money now in
circulation in the interior, south, west
and northwest. They find that the
supply of clearing house checks and
individual bank issues are SO numer-
Gus that it is a costly piece of work to
make a fair display of the specimens.
The lowest value of the new money
checks seen in New York is one dol
lar Subscriptions were received at
the subtreasury yesterday for an en-
tire set of the treasury notes of in
debtedness, which will have the ap-
pearance of bank note
The lowest denomination Of this
class of currency is $50, and the buy
er of this set of bills will be forced to
spend a good sized sum in order to OBJ
tain the complete outfit. 1t has this
advantage, however, that as long as
the United States government lasts the
notes will be worth their par value.

The World of Art.

New York is waking up to the re-
markable landscape work being done
by a hitherto practically unknown
painter, the storm scenes of Van
bearing Perrine - impressionistic
work of the most spiritual quality
and fine vigorous technique ivan
Perrine," as he is affectionately call
ed by his friends, is emphatically an
American painter of American
scenes. He lives on the highest edge
OF the Palisades and paints them in
cloud and shadow. John Spargo has
written the interview which appears
in the August Craftsman and there
are fine reproductions of some storm
scenes and an excellent likeness of
the artist from a photograph by Ger
rude Kasebier. An article of ex-
treme significance to practical re-
formers and political economists, in
the August Craftsman, is British

Jack Nusbaum While Bathing at

Jack Nusbaum was drowned at

day Mr.. Nusbaum decided to have a
swim, and at the same time his new
ly made bride doffed her stockings
and went in wading, Nusbaum got

wife, he went under and lost his life.

of age and was a travelling salesman

Part of the Swimming Exhibition
That Was not Advertised.

That was not AuVertiscd.
An exhibition occurred at Coffin's
swimming tank Sunday afternoon
that wasn't on the bills, says the va
kima Republic. Word went around
In the neighborhood that an expert
swimmer was about to give an ex-
hibtion In the tank.
A crowd, composed mostly OF
ladies, gathered 10 witness II. The
gentleman who was to do the stunt
retired at the proper time TO put on
his bathing suit. and presently re-
appeared through the side OF the tent
minus any costume at all. This
premature appearance was not his
fault. When about 10 put on the bath
ing suit he leaned against the can
vas wall. thinking 1t was backed up
by a wooden support. The canvas
wasn't strong, and his weight split

The crowd scattered in great
haste, but the best record made for
swiftness made by anyone was that
of the swimmer in getting back into

that he came out Of.

GETTING MILK.
How Will Forty to One Hundred
Tons Day Come TO Albany.

The problem OF bringing $4,000 20
10000 pounds of milk a day to the
condensed milk factory in Albany, Is
Il problem that is already being taken
up. That in the country will be
brought here on wagons and the cars,
and there is even talk of a milk train
IN the valley as there are In many
places I'm the east. One means thar
is being worked up is by river navi-
cation. ]. b. Marvin and Frank Kill
er were in the city this morning,
making arrangements TO put n gaso-
line launch on the river between Cor
wallis and Albany, tapping the Cor
wallis country and along the way,
and will do so II after a canvas for
customers enough are secured to
justify It. They want about ten tons
of milk, and II obtained will secure
a boat OF that capacity drawing about
ten inches, which would run In all
seasons OF the year. Already one
gasoline launch has been built on the
Long Tom for the business and an
other one will be. II is probable
some will come up the river. These
things suggest the propriety OF the
factory being on the river bank
