The gold coins of the United States
will be changed some time during the
coming year. for the first time in fifty
years. The work of preparing the new
designs has been placed, in the hands
Of a celebrated New York artist. Presi-
dent Roosevelt believes that the gold
coins now in use are inartistic, and
after discussing the matter with the
treasury oficials he took it up with the
New Yorker in question. AS a result,
appropriate designs, artistic in effect
and beautiful in workmanship, are
about to be submitted for approval to
the president. Under the law the pres
ident has a good deal of authority in
prescribing just what figures or EN-
blems shall appear on specie money.
Congress has made certain limitations.
however. 1t provides that the de-
signs on coins shall not be changed Oft
M than once in a period Of twenty
five years, that on each coin there shall
appear an emblem Of liberty. the year
Of coinage, and the words "E Pluribus
Unum." Beyond being bound by this
general description the president may
do as he likes.

AUTOMOBILES

II Is now evident to the most casual
observer that the automobile has come
to stay. Its manufacture has come to
be one OF the big industries Of the
country and its use has been extended
to all classes of hauling. A recent bull
letin from the department of com
merce and labor gives interesting sta
%tistics, from which the following is
quoted:
AT the census of 1900 the manufac'
ture OF automobiles in the United
States was an industry SO unimportant
that 1t was not reported separately,
being included under Carriages and
Wagons The total value of automo-
biles and parts turned out in the cen
sus year was only ~s4,74S,011. At the
census of 1905, which covered the cal
endar year 1904, the output reached a
value of $26, 645 ,O64, an increase since
1900 Of 46.1 per cent

BEST OF SEASON
Was the Verdict for 1.-THE Time, the
Place and the Girl"

The Time the Place and the Girl
is a musical comedy with a great deal
more plot in it than such productions
usually have, but it is not a bit hurt
! by that fact. The plot is a good one
and the thread of romance interviewer
in it sustains interest in the play from
first to last.
The show is good. Happy Johnny
Hicks" as played by John E. Young,
the comedian, furnished comedy in
good measure. While it is not one of
the hilariously funny light operas, the
comedy is bright and new and the audi
ence was good natured throughout the
play Jessie Huston, as Margaret Sim
son. 1.-THE Girl was captivating in the
part. Her voice is good and her
dancing clever, as leading lady she is
a success Mrs. Talcott," a dashing
widow, was played by Eulalie john

one of the good features of the show.

johnny Hicks" won the audience as
we'll. The tenor, J. S. Kinslow, who
took the part of Laurie Farnham,'
has a pleasing voice and his songs were
among the best of the evening.
While there is not as much music
in the play as there is usually in mu-
and is we'll sung. The tunes are catchy
and are remembered easily. BLOW the
Smoke Away" by Laurie" and chorus
was perhaps the prettiest song of the
evening, although the Waning Hon
eymoon," which Mrs. Talcott rendered
with the aid of the chorus, is another
nearly as good. Il Don't Like Your
Family" by the girl is catchy
piece of music and made a pretty
chorus. "Thursday's My Jonah Day."
the audience appreciates the comedians

cleverest song hits of the evening and
was carried out in a unique way and
sung in taking manner. The chorus
girls are the best looking bunch which
has struck the town for a long time
and all had good voices. The male
chorus is also deserving Of special
mention.

was a large one and enthusiastic The
