playing for some time, and that his
conduct became such that he was or

Mack is alleged TO have left the
theater and gone to a saloon on East
Second South street, where It is said
that, after imbibing a few more
drinks, some OF his friends located
him and called for the police.
The friends, however. are said to
have had the opinion that the patrol

matinee idol and asked that an officer
walk to the saloon and take charge
of the actor.

Rear Admiral RobIey D. Evans, u. s.

his opinion, is more harmful to sailors
than if they could purchase liquor open-
Iy at respectable places. In speaking of
this matter at Bar Harbor; Me-, recently,
Rear Admiral Evans is quoted by Her

more trouble with my sailors getting

Put Your Money In Bank

Almost every day We read Of some mur
der mystery which bad as its foundation
the fact thatsome robber was after money
kept in the house of his victim, or else 9
house has burned down and large sum
of money has been destroyed, Several
instances have been reported lately where
robbers have secured a large haul from
farmers who kept their money at home.
The keeping of ones money in his
house or place Of business is the most
foolish habit that could be practiced. It
is unsafe and in most cases is an incen.
tive for crime and often results in the
loss of the life of the owner, In these
enlightened days of banks and there are
plenty of them in all sections of the
country, it is almost crime for man to
keep money lying around his home. He
may think that no one suspects that be
has money, but in that be is mistaken.
Someone is always on the watch and
knows who handles money in commun-
ity and the thief and robber is generally
an alert fellow who keeps posted on con.
ditions and menin the locality.
The keeping of money in the house
will attract robbers and thieves and when
be goes to get the money be is prepared
for any emergency which arises. He is
generally armed and if it takes killing
or two it makes no difference to the rob-
Der SO long as be gets the coin. By keep
ing money in the house man lays his
family as well as himself, liable to vio.
lence from thieves and robbers.

To Reduce Size of Currency

Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh
last week authorized an interview setting
forth his view of the necessity for chang.
ing the design and size of American paper
currency. He believes it will save the
government over $500, 600 annually. Se-
cretary MacVeagh thus outlines the ad.
Vantages to be expected from uniformity
in design and reduction in size OF the
national bank notes: Uniformity with
United States notes and certificates, max.
ing all paper issues in circulation Of the
same size, with the same portrait for
identical denominations; reduction in the
office force of the Comptroller Of the Cur
rency in receiving currency from the
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing and in
its shipments to the banks; reduction in
vault space required by the comptroller;
making ii unnecessary for the comptroller
TO carry reserve supply for each bank,
as his stock would be common to all
banks; saving large number OF sheets
which are held ready for issue, but can
celed because the banks for which they
are prepared 60 into liquidation. This
estimate was 654, 900 sheets in the last fs-
cal year. At present the treasury has to
keep reserve stock of notes always on
hand for each of the 1000 active national
banks. This would result in saving $4O,.
600 a year.s
