Norris, where she was visiting and it was thought that he was leaving the saloon to go there at thle time he was attacked.

Gold Coins Coma Out.

plan now is to issue nc more gold coir

will be made up into bars of standard
fineness on which certificates will DC
issued. This plan has been in vogue
to Il certain extent for some time. The
reasons are two-fold. The use of gold
coin Involves much loss from abrasion
when it does circulate. while it is now
shipped to Europe in Sever-increasine
snaEtties to settle balances with the
result that there is sometimes loss
because in some instances the limit OF
tolerance in the loss of weight has
been passed The gold bars will be
better, since weight is the determining
factor in this case.
Doubtless this will be shock to a

medium Of exchange. There are some
parts of this country where gold is still
passed from hand to hand. but here IN
the East, it is comparatively rare for
Il man to handle such coin. unless he
calls for it at his bank. If the certifi-
cate OF deposit with the government is
available, that serves every possible
Durpose. When we think that the minis
