TO SAVE GOVERNMENT
A MILLION A YEAR.
Mr.. Sharp of Ohio Would Issue Uni
form National eanknotes.

Representative Sharp of Ohio be-
lieves he has hit upon a plan that will
save the government S1,000,0O0 a year
in issuing banknotes. In furtherance
Of his plan he has introduced a reso-
luton in the house calling on the sec
retary of the treasury to furnish GER
tain information.
"My resolution directs the secretary
of the treasury to submit recommen-
dations for uniform national banknotes
after the style of the gold and silver
certificates" he said recently. 'tOf the
million dollars expense that is incur
red for issuing banknotes the govern
ment contributes about one-half and
the banks one-half. The national
banks pay for the plates on which
the notes are printed. and the govern
ment pays the expenses of keeping
a record of the account with the ma
tonal banks for the redemption of
these notes. The smaller national
banks are put to an especially heavy
expenditure on this account.
There are now over 1000 national
pankS IN the United states, each OF
which requires a different engraving
for its notes, which represent five or
six denominations Of value This
makes it necessary for the government
to manufacture and keep in stock an
unusually large number of plates for
the printing Of banknotes at the bu-
reau Of engraving and printing and
requires it to keep on hand also a
large supply of each bill at the treas
ury department for the redemption of
the worn bills.
II believe a uniform banknote would
not only work an economy of at
least a million dollars a year, but
would also expedite the issue Of these
notes, which is now so slow as to be
source Of constant complaint from
the banks"

Tells of Doings Miles Away.

nothing to her. She could see as well
without it. l was told many things
that she had done and said in these
spells. She told what different people
were doing who lived miles away.
One of these things was verified.
She told that a woman living ten
miles away was out taking care Of her
chickens. She described the dress she
wore, little round circles in it. The
next day this neighbor called and was
asked what she was doing the previous
day at such an hour, what dress she
had on. Everything tailed.
The girl was on the bed upstairs.
She said ian old woman has come into
the house. 1t is naming herr. She
has not had any supper. They are
taking her into the dining room. She
is eating. They are talking about me-"
One went down to see if it were true
and found it all true and told them to
stop talking about Bessie; that she
knew everything they said.
The girl wept aloud. She said, "Mr
