PLANS SMALL BANKN0TES
MacVeagh to Save 81, 100000
Yearly by Change.

Washington. July 31--The size or ali
United States currency and national
bank notes probably will be reduced BY
one-third and their designs revolution
lied by Secretary MacVeagh for the sake
OF economies TO the government, CON
venience 10 the public and safety against
counterfeiting. This decision practically
has been reached by the Secretary.
II is proposed to make the dimensions
by 2ia inches The paper money now
I'm circulations measures 1.28 by G.04
inches. The designs Of all paper money
United States notes and certificates
and national bank notes-would be sys-
tematized and made uniform for every
denomination.
This move IS expected TO save the gov
eminent about 100000 annually. and
tho national banks, which pay for the
plates for their notes and part OF the
cost Of redemption, about 100000.
There are now nineteen different de-
signs Of currency. The change would
reduce these TO nine. Each denomina-
ton would be characterized by a dis
tinctiyely American historical portrait
engraved in the centre of the note. In
time the portrait would be distin-
gushing feature Of each denomination
and would be a safeguard against coun-
terfeiting. especially the prevalent prac-
tice of raising a note TO a higher de-
nomination.
The department is considering using
portraits as follows: on 81 note, Wash
ington; 81, jefferson; IS, Lincoln; so,
Cleveland; 500. Jackson; $50. Grant; 500,
franklin; $500, Chase, and $1,000, Ham

THE only question about tho accept

tract IL the road was not closed, II we

that point, and informed Oussani orally

what we purchased for $500"
The Oussani estate contains ilfty-two

TRICK SAVES B0NDSMAN
Operator, Induced to Return to
Town. Lands in Ludlow Street.

Andrew B. Diller. a real estate operator,
was arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
Gilmore on an execution against the per-
son in a civil suit, and was placed In the
Ludlow street Jail, where he may remain
six months. The action in which Diller
was arrested was brought by George
Woersching to recover s2,2oO which he
said Diller converted 10 his own use.
This is the second time Diller has been
arrested in the suit OF Woersching. The
first time was last November. when the
action was started, and the plaintiff got
an order of arrest. At that time bali was
fixed at 500, and two men qualified as
bondsmen for that amount. The securi-
ties were Eugene 5. SHEA. who owns
hotel and restaurant, and Eugene Drts-
coll.
Soon after that Diller went 10 Memphis,
and he was not In New York when judy
ment was taken against him. Shea ana
Driscoll stood to lose 500 each on their
bond. But a little strategy saved them
from the loss and got Diller back TO New
York. \ letter was sent to him saying
that the case was TO be reopened.
Then DlIler wrote 10 one OF MS suletles
asking for the fare from Memphis 20 New
York which the b0ndsman sent gladly
enough Diller came back, and then was
arrested Diller can get out Of jail by fur
nishing a bond for 5000. Otherwise he
must remain locked up for six months
Woersching alleged that he gave Diller
$500 with which 10 buy forty lots in
Long Island City. but he failed 10 DO so.
The defendant also failed to pay back the
money. with the exception Of $3.50. Oilers

T. R. HAS BEAUTY PARL0R
Putfs and Powder on Hand for
Lady Politicians.

Wei. the National Progressive party
provides face powder for the suffra-
gettes who attend its conventions, any
how. The twenty-five members Of tho
woman suffrage party who sat on the
platform a. Carnegie Lyceum last
night found that out the minute they
arrived. Mrs. Martha Wentworth Suf-
fren, vice-chairman of the party, and
Mrs. A. G. Ffske. its chairman for the
Borough OF The Bronx. were the first 10
take advantage of 7. RS beauty parlor
in side room off the main hall.
They explained between hasty dabs Of
suffra getting all day, without chance
to lock in n mirror, and they knew they
must look like anything. An admiring
suffragist assured Mrs. Suffren-who
really is one of the pretty Ones-that
she looked all right. but that ardent
votes for-women leader replied severely:
NO one but you yourself can tell
when you look all right.

she told them to their faces that the

Certainly the women couldn't complain
that they weren't overwhelmed with at
tentions. The convention was scarcely
under way when a short young man
Jumped UP and yelled. Three cheers for
the suffragettcs" And the men gave
them.
Miss Bertha Rcmbaugh, lawyer ana
suffragist and delegate to the convention

There Was a Fish Market
in the Roman Forum

tore Boni, the present official in charge
OF the Forum
judging by the pictures shown by Mr..
Kellogg IL must have been palatial es-
Establishment, In the atrium were two
large pools, and these were surrounded
by statues, some OF which have been re-
covered in well preserved form. One, Of
a mother superior Of the order, shows
a wonderfully strong face that. with .
different couture, might easily be mistak-
ell for a great woman thinker OF modern
times.
statue OF a man was also found in the
virgins garden. but Mr.. Kellogg explained
this by saying that It was to commeno-
crate one who had made large donatiou
TO the order.
The recent pictures OF the ruins of t>ae

ed that ruins need not necessarily be mel
ancholy. 1T Is Signor Bonis idea" said
the lecturer, ito make the ruins alive
and beautiful and to that end he has
planted roses around the pools In the
atrium OF the vestal virgins house, and
has run fresh water into a famous marble
fountain that was uncovered and stocked
it with gold fish,
Mr.. kellogg stated that IL was impoe
sible to keep to any chronological order
In explaining the buildings OF the Forum
because the ruins Of the early Forum
existed side by side with buildings Of tina
time Of Constantine. He showed an In
teresting development in the building art
from the earlier times when the basilicas
were built with heavy timber ceilings 20
the time Of Constantine when the MAX
ing of concrete had reached such perfec-
ton that great supporting arches were
made OF f. The concrete arches of one
building were so high that any of the
smaller European cathedrals might At

Our modern Christian churches" said
Mr.. Kellogg, ARE. in architecture. a de-
velopment from the old Roman law
courts, which were wonderful buildings
supported on columned arches, with tho
clerestory system of lighting When the
early Christians were casting around for
a model after which they could build
their churches. they had TO discard the
Greek and Roman temples, because these
were too small inside and made no pro-
vision for congregation. Some bright
man seized upon the law court archi-
lecture, and our Romanesque and Gothic
churches are It's direct descendants.
Even the system Of lighting is the same"
Mr.. Kellogg's lecture was particularly
Illuminating because II was illustrated
with slides which showed. first, the pres
ent condition OF the Forum and its vari-
Gus parts. and other slides which showed
the reliable reservations made by Heulsen
of the same parts.
