New Face on Paper Money.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Several i'm
portant changes in the designs on the
paper money of the country are to
take place soon.
Secretary MacVeagh, Assistant Sec.
rotary Norton, and Director Ralph Of
the bureau of engraving and printing,
have under consideration general
scheme for systematizing the designs
of all issues of paper money in such
manner that the same portraits and
emblems will appear on all notes OF
the same denomination.
1t also Is proposed that each of the
designs shall be so distinctive that no
confusion as to the denomination sig
nified shall occur. A change in the
size of the governments paper cur.
rency also is under contemplation.
Cleveland Picture on $40 Bill.
It can be stated authoritatively that
a portrait of the late Grover Cleveland
soon Is to appear on all ten dollar
bills. This plan has been in contem-
plation before, and practically was or
dered by George B. Cortelyou, former
ly secretary Of the treasury. Score
tary Macveagh, upon entering office
held the order up, not on account OF
political considerations, but in order
to permit the question of general
redesigning of the paper money of the
country to be taken up.
The director of the bureau of en-
craving and printing has completed
tentative new designs to go upon all
the paper money of national issue
such as silver certificates, gold GER
tificates, and treasury notes, and they
are now up for approval by Assistant
Secretary Norton, who has the matter
mainly in charge.
He already has definitely decided tc
recommend Cortelyou's order relating
to the imprint of the portrait of ex
President Cleveland upon all ten dol
lar bills.
May Abolish So Note.
Distinctive designs of one dollar
five dollar, twenty dollar and fifty dol
lar bills, and perhaps those of ever
higher denominations, have been pre-
pared. The two dollar bill may bt
abolished, 1t Is reported. It's fate nov
hangs In the balance, there having
been many complaints directed agains
1t, owing to its tendency to stealthil!
slip in with its one dollar brothers
and cause woe. If the two dollar bill
Is retained, 1t Is certain that its de
sign will be such as to make it f1asl
out from pile of one dollar or hv'
dollar bills with prominence tina
will permit of no mistake in its hand
ling.
The treasury officials are seeking
suggestions from artists of the burea,
of engraving and printing, and from
artists and experts outside the govern
ment service. They even have sent t,
Europe for new ideas by which tn
paper money may be improved In az
pearance.
Some treasury officials are incline,
