tion for leavingthe motto, "ln God
We Trust" of of tas new coinage. !.
The people are more emphatic
in their condemnation OF the gen.
eral aspect Of the new gold coins as
compared with the old coinage in
the matter Of beauty. The dis
tinctively artistic people claim
that st. Gauden's essay in die cut
ting is emphatically excellent from
the point of view occupied by the
artistic eye. The average person
unburdened with too much art
techDicality fails to see beauty in
the pieces. The democrats threat
en to make the coinage an issue
and put it in their platform next
year.
The United States gold coins
which have been in circulation for
about half centQry ara the hand
soonest ever known upon earth
The beauty of these coins, from q
half eagle to a double eagle, has
been admired by artists and those
not technically OF this class ever
since they first appeared. The
nearest approach to them is pro-
badly the French gold coinage,
but the American coins are con-
ceded to be more beautiful than
the French.
The new gold coin looks more like
an English sovereign than any
other coin we are acquainted with
Now the English sovereign is con,
fessedly hideous in its utter lacl
of anything that can come under
the classification of the beautiful
As to these new coins the reverse
side bears an American eagle which
, covers nearly the whole piece. In
stead of the great American uD-
tanned bird grasping helightnings
OF a cloud and with outspread
wings looking like a thing of life,
, the eagle on the new coins, With
the feathers reaching to his toes,
has been appropriately likened to
. a buzzard dressed in pajamas.
8 AS to the Celtic beauty who lent
, her fsce to the new ooins, either
she Is not from the beauty stand
point all she has been cracked M
to be, or else the artist has done
her a vile injustice. The face is
thin; the chin pointed like the
shoes men wore some time ago,
she is rigged out in head dress
of feathers which gives her at first
view a decided likeness to an Ap-
ache female in war costume;
while the rim of the coin is press
! ed in so closely on both sides that
I it intrenehes upon both the head.

St. Gcorqe and the Drsdon,

Other nations besides England have fought under the banner of St George, and other knightly orders as we'll as that of the Garter have been instituted in his honor He was the guardian saint of Sicily, Aragon, Valencia, Genoa, Nal to and Barcelona; Venetian order of St. George was created in 1900. a Spanish in 1917, an Austrian in 1410. q Genoese in 1472 and Roman in 1492. More modern orders bearing his name are those of Bavaria Q720, Russia Q76O and Hanover QS39. The device of St. George staying the dragon forms part of the arms of the czar and ar- pears on several Russian coins. The conjecture that this was owing to the presentation of the Garter by Eliza beth to Ivan Nassilievitch has no foun- dation in fact, for Chanceler, the first outspoken Englishman to visit Russia, speaks of dispatch sent in 1554 from Ivan Vassilievitch to Queen Mary, the seal of which twas much like the broad seal of England, having on the one side the image of a man on horse back in complete harness fighting with a dragon."-London Chronicle.

Queer Positions Of Hearts.

There is one curious fact which not everybody notices about the common. fnger-long, green caterpillars of our larger moths. Their hearts, instead of being in front, are at the back of the body and extend along the entire length of the animal. One can see the heart distinctly through the thin skin and can watch it's slow beat, which starts at the tail and moves forward to the head. Hearts of this sort reaching from head to tail are not at all uncom- mon in the simpler creatures. Tho earthworm has one, and so have most worms, caterpillars and other crawling things. Hearts in the middle of the back also are quite as frequent as those in what seems to us to be the natural place. Many animals, the lob- ster for example, and the crayfish and the crab, wAich have short hearts like those of the beasts and birds, never!
 theless have them placed just under the shell in what. in ourselves, would be the small of the back.-St. Nicholas.

One Source of News.

For many years a certain New York paper received society and club gossip from a man whose identity was con cealed by clever ruse. Even his checks were made out to his wife in her maiden name. He furnished in formation about the doings and wral. gles in various clubs-little stories in volying people whose names arc known by reputation to practically all readers of newspaper columns. He is said thus to have averaged an inco..2@ of about $10 a weck-not much, but enough to buy hats, gloves and canes He was a most immaculate and ap. parently prosperous person. It is needless to say that he has never been suspected of this small traffic. A wealthy relative died and left him in- dependent. When some such man furnishes the clew to delectable scandal he has done a stroke of busi- ness that will keep him in small lux. uries for months to come.-Whitman Bennett in Bohemian

 Every resi|cnt of d community owes certain obligations to il which he can. not slight without annayance to those

 others C@'ails follow, and wholQ

 what mates the town attractive and

 on beautifyins yards in the Home
 Magazine Eben E. Rexford says:
 Every yard ought to have its shrubs They give to 1t charm which nothing
 else can supply. On very small grounds they take the place of trees very satis
 factorily. Indeed. they are preferable
 there because they are not likely to
 outgrow the limits assigned them, as
 trees will in time, and they do no,
 make shade enough to bring about the
 insanitary conditions which are almost
 always found to exist in small places where the trees have made strong de. velopment.
 Shade is q pleasing feature in sum mer, but there is such thing as hay ing too much of 1t. We frequently see places in which the dwelling is almost hidden by thicket of trees, and eX animation will show that the house Is always damp and that the occupants of 1t are unhealthy. Look at the roof, and you will be likely to find the shingles covered with green moss. The only remedy for such a condition of things Is the thinning out or removal of some light Shrubs can never be chargel'

NEGRO'S BODY IS
 FOUND IN MARSH
CORONER BELIEVES IT IS THAT OF ROBERT L. DIX BUT OTHER OFFICERS ARE INCLINED TO DOUBT IT.

The body of negro has been found in the woods about a. mile from I4ittleton. with bullet hole through his head, and from all appearances had been dead more than five days.
 Considerable mystery surrounds the case as the negro was not known in the com munity. nor had he been seen there. The body was found in & marsh, partly sub merged in water, where no one hardly ever passes. and where it had been more than likely carried after the murder.
 Coroner Paris left for the scene early yesterday morning and returned with the remains last night. From papers found in the clothing the negro was John T. Coop CT of Lebanon, Ky, although the coroner has strong suspicious that he is the Rob ert l.. Dix who escaped from the county jail last July, The opinions of others who have seen the corpse differ, yet there is a slight possibility of the Identification working out.
 In favor of the supposltion It is claimed that the negro has gold teeth similar to those of Dix, and an expression similar to that of Dix. This Is refuted by the statement that Dix was a smaller man. had straight hair, and was lighter in color. He would probably have had the gold teeth removed.
 Cooper. if that be his name, was hand somely dressed. and had the appearance of a negro well off. In his pocket was a letter from his father at Lebanon, in which he deplores the fact that his son has gotten into trouble of some kind and will get out of 1t safely. Another is from a woman in Bowling Green, Ky, which speaks of this same trouble, and in connection with 1t mentions the fact that a negro. Charlie Ewing. has been sen- tenced to jail for life. This may connect Cooper with some murder in Kentucky.
 The question has aroused considerable discussion of where Dix really is Some policemen believe that he is out of the country. or in the Philippines. stating that man with as much money as he had would not be prowling around Birming- ham. It is stated that Dix's father is liv- ing in Chattanooga, while his sister lives in Annlston. All of his old characteristics were conjured up, and the consensus of opinion was that the noted Dix is far away from Birmingham. and not lying dead at an undertaking shop.

BOLD THIEVES ARE
 LODGED IN JAIL
Two Negroes Have Been Working Smooth Game In City for
 Several Weeks.

Two thieves who have been doing Bir- mlngham for the past few weeks, making a speciality of oyercoats, were captured yesterday by Detective Hamilton and Of ficers Newman and Benson. The detec- tive is sure of their guilt and has evil dence to prove them two of the worst burglars in the city.
 Bailey Roberson and Abner Jelner are the negroes, who are waiting trial on the charge of grand larceny.
 Their plan was very simple. Roberson would take and Jelner would pawn. They worked in the business section and used expert selection, never wanting anything but the best. When an overcoat Is spotted the owner is watched until he lays 1t down. and then Roberson steps up and walks off with 1t.
 When arrested JeIner had his pockets full of pawn tickets, as he was the busi- ness manager of the firm. The last coat stolen was from Steve Smith. who left it lying for a moment on a chair. An attorney in the same building also was robbed.
 One of the boldest burglaries, perhaps, was when, Ave days ago, Roberson en- tered the special car of an exhibitor of groceries, and while his back was turned lifted two overcoats, one of them a dress coat. All of these goods and much more were pawned under the name of Win Jones and recovered by Detective Ham, ilton. Their business is suddenly bank

GUT BIG HOLE IN
 BLACK MARIA'S SIDE
BOYS USED THIS MEANS OF GET TING RID OF DICE WHICH THEY THOUGHT WOULD BE USED AS EVIDENCE

In a vain effort to cover their sins, Harry Lyerla and Ramona Franklyn are alleged to have cut hole in the side of the patrol wagon in which they were taking a delightful ride and dropped out tho dice with which they had been play ing. Although they succeeded in getting rid of part of them. when the "Black Maria" drew up at the city jail one extra large bone had refused to pass through the hole. and all the pains were taken in vain.
 Besides this the boys, who are only about r years old, will have to answer to charges of both vagrancy and grand lar ceny. They were arrested by Officers Will Hanson and Hamilton, and are said to have robbed the room of Greek on Third avenue. For youngsters they seem to have advanced quite far on their careers, and are beginning to "cut out" quito early. To attempt cutting out of a patrol wagon is a new thing In the department Dggings out of jail are more frequent.

STATEMENT MADE
 BY FATHER COYLE
Announces From Altar His Regret that Attempt Is Made to CommnqIe
 Religion and Politics.

At high mass at St. Paul's church yes terday. the Rev. Father Kitrick was the celebrant. and the Rev. Father Duffy was the preacher. The pastor the Rev. Father Coyle read from the altar the following:
 'fhere is at present, as you are all aware, an important political contest be- ing waged in this city. Somehow or other religion has been dragged into 1t. The opponents of one of the candidates are making capital of an occurrence that they magnify and misrepresent. They attribute to him actions and motives of which no gentleman (and I know from experi- ence that the candidate in question Is a perfect gentleman) would be guilty.
 Why in the world cannot this contest be waged without dragging in our faith and our holy church? I am not making this announcement at the suggestion of the gentleman in question, nor at the sug- gestion of anyone. for in the matter of politics I am, have been, and ever will be absolutely neutral, and will not assist or vote for either of the two now seeking office. A mans religion has nothing what ever to do with a mans politics, and this notice is protest against any CO., mingling of the two.
 These remarks are made with regret and reluctance. I hope it is the last time as it is the first, that will be forced to men ton politics in a church where God and His commandments should alone be men tioned. verbum sapienu sufficit-a word to the wise is sufficient"

CITY COUNCIL WEDNESDAY.
Meeting Promises to Be Short Because
 of Prevalence of Political Fever.

Because of the fact that the municipal campaign has rendered the present city officials well nigh incapable to discharge their numerous and sundry duties, the regular meeting of the City Council to be held Wednesday night, promises to be short and consist solely of routine business.
 Indeed. so busy have been the candi- dates who are again seeking office with their campaigns, and so distracted have been those who are running without op- position, that the approach of the meet ing has come with jar and a surprise. There will be the regular committee meet ings Wednesday, preparatory to the coun- ell meeting Wednesday night, but 1t Is learned that few matters of importance will be considered.
