UNIFORM MONEY DESIGNS
More System and Fewer Portraits
to Be Used.

Washington, April 6.-Assistant
Secretary OF the Treasury Coolidge
has approved plan for systematizing
designs for United States notes and
coin certificates, thus carrying into
effect a scheme of uniformity in por-
trait and general design for notes of
the same denomination of each class.
The 81 silver certificate will carry
the portrait of Washington: the So
silver certificate the portrait Of JEFF
erson. The S. note, whether silver,
coin certificates or greenback, will
carry the portrait of Lincoln; the $40
gold and silver certificates and Unit
ed States notes that of Cleveland; the
$40 that of Jackson; the $50 that of
Grant; the 500 that of Franklin; the
$500 that of Salmon P. Chase; the
$4,000 that of Alexander Hamilton.
The portraits of Hillegas, Monroe, Sill
as Wright, Lewis, Clark, Mansfield
and others will be eliminated.
The eagle, the Buffalo and the In
dian head, which have proved to be
easily counterfieited, also will disap-
pear. The classes OF notes will be
differentiated by color and by other
distinguishing marks.

The Heart Can't Stand
Rheumatic Acid
Poisoning
The Uric-O Treatment ExpeIs the
Poison From the Blood,

Those sharp. shooting pains through
the chest around the region of the
heart mean that poisonous uric and
rheumatic acid are there ready to
spring and grip tightly the muscles
controlling the hearts action. You
must neutralize and drive these dan
gerous poisons from the system, or
sooner or later they will overcome
you.
The only way to cure Rheumatism
is to get at it from the inside with
Uric-O. 1t acts with marvellous swift
ness upon the muscles, kidneys and
blood. Cleans out the sand-like de.
posits in the muscles, forces the kid
neys to perform those duties for
which they were designed and neutral
ICES the acid within the blood.
Uric-O is a liquid taken internally,
three times daily, and does not contain
any morphine, opium or other socalled
pain deadners." Sciatica, Muscular,
Infammatory and Articular Rheuma-
tism all yield readily to Uric-O.

April of her experience as a physician
among the court ladies of China re-
lates this interesting incident.
How many sisters are there in
your family-eight are there Nnot?"
Mrs Headland once asked an older
daughter of the household.
Yes You know of course that

of six to the son of LII Hung Chang.
"No. | was not aware of the fact;

young man died before they were old
enough to wed. When word OF his
death was brought to her, child that
she was, she went to our mother and
told her she must never engage her
to any one else, as she meant to live
and die the widow of this boy"
And did she go to Ii Hung Changs
home?"
NO the old Viceroy wanted to take
her to his home, build a suite of
rooms for her, and treat her as his
daughter-in-law, but our parents OBJ

his eyes often filled with tears as he
spoke of her and the son who had
passed away When the Viceroy died
she wanted to go and kow-tow at his
funeral, and all his family except the
eldest son were anxious to have her
do so, and thus be recognized as one
of the family. But this son objected,

ELRoY KENT TRIAL
Superintendent Don D. CIRCUITS Name
Figures in Evidence.

Rutland. April 5.-The state used
its star witness Saturday in the trial
of Elroy Kent on the charge OF muir
dering Miss Della b. Congdon- The
testimony given by Elgin NJ. Taggart
who was in charge of w. G. Stones
cheese factory at East Wallingford
at the time of the murder was the
most. important of the trial, aside
from that given by Deputy Sheriff AL
len A. Leonard Mr.. Taggart swore
that 10 days before the murder a
stranger called at the factory who
said that he was born in the neigh
borhood and that his name was Kent.
The stranger also displayed a scar on
his forehead, according to the wit
ness and explained how he got it.
Miss Congdon crossed the road in
front of her house while the witness
and the stranger stood talking in
front of the factory and the supposed
Kent Is alleged to have made a re-
mark about her which caused Mr.. Tag
CART to say that the stranger would
get his body full of lead if he tried
anything like that. Mr.. Taggart fur
thor said that while the stranger sat
in the factory door he was busy with
his jack knife and that after he had
gone the letter 'E" was found cut in
the door casing.
In the cross examination of Mr..
Taggart the name of Dr. Don d. Grout
superintendent of the state hospital
for the insane at Waterbury was
brought into the case rather unexpec-
tedly. 1t has been generally known
that ever since he gave up looking for
Kent after the latter's escape from
the asylum July 10th last, on the
ground that he was a harmless charac-
ter, DR.. Grout has always expressed
the belief that Kent had nothing to do
with the Congdon murder; but Mr..
Taggart went so far in his testimony
as to practically accuse the doctor of
trying to prevent him from identifying
Kent at the asylum 1t also came out
that States Attorney ]. c. Jones told
Mr. Taggart not to tell DR.. Grout IL
he recognized Kent. f. II. O'Brien,
of Kent's counsel, demanded the pres
ence of DR. Grout in court with all his
records pertaining to the Kent case.
so the superintendent will probably
be witness during the week.
Court took a recess Saturday noon
until o'clock Monday afternoon. The
state has not put in all its testimony
yet, and 1t looks as though the trial
would last at least all of this week.
w. G. Stone, selectman of the town
of Wallingford, and proprietor OF the
cheese factory near the Congdon
home was the stand for cross eX-
animation in the morning. He was
pressed for a closer description OF
the clothes he saw in the club house
but he said ne only glanced at them.
He said he knew there were some
coats, some trousers and a few hats.
In redirect examination Mr., Stone said
that Miss Congdon could not hear
sound but that she could speak well
enough TO be understood by people
who knew her well He said that
when she tried to raise her voice TO
call anybody at a distance she made
a fainter sound than she did in ordin-
airy conversation. She could tell what
most people We're saying by watching
the motion of their lips.

CHEAP COPPER IN ALASKA
6ratnober Asserts It Can Be Produced
For Six Cents a Pound.

Tacoma, Wash, April 6.-Henry
Bratnober, a copper expert, formerly
with the Rothschild's Exploration
Company says that Alaska copper will
be produced at cents per pound
within two years by the J. P. Morgan
and Guggenheim syndicate, who are
now building a railroad up the Copper
River Valley at cost of $4,000, 900.
Montana, Arizona and Lake Superior
copper is now produced at from to
10 cents per pound
The Morgan and Guggenheim syndi-
cate, Mr.. Bratnober says will ship ore
from its mines TO the Tacoma smelter
by its own boats connecting with its
railroad at Cordova. Free copper are
from Bratnober's mine at the head
waters of the Nabesna and White
Rivers will be reduced at smelters to
be built at Cordova. A copper rein
cry and copper wire works will be
added to the Tacoma smelling plant
Mr.. Bratnober discovered in Alaska
in the simmer of 1905 what he de-
clares to be the worlds greatest cop

runs 10 to 80 per cent in pure copper.

STANDARD OILS DEFENSE
Secret Heretofore Well Guarded to be
Disclosed at St. Louis Trial.

OlSClOSeu DIT 81. LOUIS lTidi.
New York, April 6.--The legal de-
Tense by which the Standard Oil COM
pany lawyers hope to defeat the gov
ernment's suit to dissolve the Stan
dard of New Jersey on the ground
that 1t is operating in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law, has been a
carefully guarded secret for three
years, ever since, in fact, the suit to
dissolve the $100,O0O,000 holding COM
pany began. This secret will come
out one day lnis week, when Moritz
Rosenthal, John G. Milburn and others
of the Standard legal staff will begin
their argument before the four judges
OF the Eighth District of the United
States Circuit Court in st. Louis.
To all questions which were ad-
dressed to the Standard Oil company
lawyers as to their line of defense the
answers have been the same: "Wait
until the argument is made in St
| Louis. Then you will know. 1t
would be unwise to let the govern
ment lawyers see our ammunition be-
fore we are ready to fire"
This answer was made to newspa-
per men many times during the clos
ing stages of the suit. just after John
D. Rockefeller and John D. Archbold
were on the witness stand in this
city.
1t is probable that the immunity
plea will be offered for Mr. Rockefel-
Ter and Mr. Archbold both OF whom
are named as individual defendants in
the suit. Although these high Stan
dard officials were called as witnesses
by the defense. both were led along
a line of testimony which was not
covered by their direct testimony,
wnen they had been turned over to
Frank b. Kellogg, the Governments
leading counsel, for cross-examination
The Government lawyers were warn
ed at the time that If Mr. Rockefeller
and Mr.. Archbold were questioned on
points which had not been touched on
during direct examination they would
be Government witnesses. Although
nothing was said in court as to pos
sible immunity for these officials, II
was generally understood at the time
that the groundwork for an immunity
plea was being built.
John ]. Johnson of Philadelphia
and David T. Watson of Pittsburg,
two of the best-known corporation
lawyers in the country, will assist Mr..
Rosenthal and Mr.. Milburn in the ar
gument at St. Louis.

The world will receive the news of
Leopo1d's death with the first sensa-
