DESTROYS A PRETTY STORY.

When the Titanic struck an iceberg
with such fearful results in loss of
life and in the destruction Of that
magnificent ship last spring. there was
story told Of the playing of the
band after the disaster. which received
wide currency and acceptance. The
story was that the band played as the
ship went down, " Nearer, Ny God, to
Thee. At the same time there was
story that this was mere invcn-
ton, that the band played, as long as
it did play. popular music from the
London music halls. The public was
glad. however, TO forget the latter
version of the st0ry and to believe
the first, the most popular and clearly
the most appropriate version of what
the band did in fact play.
But now comes Colonel Archibald
Oracle, one of the survivors of the
Titanic disaster, and after all these
months supports the music hall story.
He says that the band had stopped
playing before the. liner crashed into
the iceberg; and that the instruments
and musicians were scattered about
the deck Of the vessel; and further
that the band. or orchestra had been
playing rag'timc just before the col
lision. -. Doubtless, Colonel Oracle &

10 MONEY WASHERS
TO Be PURCHASED
Secretary MacVeagh Orders Ma.

Paper Bank Notes.

A large number OF employees OF Uncle

laundering business. Anybody having on
hand any filthy lucre of the paper de-
nomination may send 1t to the United
States Treasury and have it washed free.
Somebody some time ago carried a Pc
culiar looking machine into the office of
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh and
told him that the government could save
money by washing badly soiled paper
notes instead of having them destroyed
and replaced by new ones The Secre-
tary gave the machine a trial, and 1t
worked so well that he called upon Con-
gress for an appropriation to install the
apparatus A number of doubling
Thomases in the. CAPITOL dropped around
to the Treasury recently and were con-
WINGED of the value OF the machines by
having their money washed while they
waited. They went back to the Capitol
and appropriated $4,000 for ten machines.
Orders for the machines were issued
by Secretary MacVeagh yesterday. Four
will be installed in New York City to
wash dirty money coming into the sub
through which 1t may become tainted.
One will be Installed in each Boston.
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, New
Orleans and St. Louis. After all the
money between Boston and the Missis-
sippl is cleaned up. Secretary MacVeagh
will ask for another appropriation for
machines to make fresh. clean. and crisp
all the filthy lucre west of the Missis-
sippi. The reason the ten machines are
being installed east OF the Mississippi
is that paper is the standard currency

partment has not yet found n machine
for laundering silver and gold. and will
not attempt 10. Owners OF metallic cur
rency will be expected to keep 1t bright
and polished themselves.
