AMERICAN FURNITURE ABROAD.
Receives Endorsement I'm Paris by
Use of Russian Prince.

Paris, Sept 14-American furniture has
received a powerful Endorsement in Paris
by the fact that Prince Nicholas En-
galitcheff has furnished is newly ac-
quired residence in the Rue de Lubeck
with some OF the finest specimens.
American society is notably the gamer
because the prince and princess, former
ly Miss Partridge, of Chicago. have de-
cided to live here permanently.
The prince, who used to represent the
Russian government in Chicago, met
the tariff wall when he tried ito bring
his American furniture into France, but
his connection with the diplomatic CORPS
and the Intervention OF the Russian Ann
bassador TO Paris overcame all difficult
ties.
His house at s6 Rue Lubbock is most
tenanted. Howard Gould
has a suite there, and Immediately over
his are the gorgeous apartments of
Katherine Hutchison. his fiance. On the
next floor, Mrs. Ross Amber Curran,
formerly Ethel Cook, of San Francisco,
resides. Lastly, the princess brother
and sister-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. E. w.
are now visiting here.

been under discussion for several years.
but there was always the objection of
the national banks to be met. Not until
recently did learn definitely that have
authority 10 determine just what shall
be the size and design of the currency
issued by individual national banks. This
matter having been decided am ready
TO issue a new currency as soon as the
mechanical work OF engraving and print
ing is completed.
II hope that We may have one design
which may do for all national bank cur
rency, that the ofiicials of these institu-
tions will Cooperate with US in this pro-
ject. The expense to the banks, which
must OF course bear the cost of making
the plates will be considerable at the
outset, but the ultimate economy will be
worth the expenditure.
Saving Expense to Banks.
TT has been suggested that the ma
tional bank note be made from a series
OF standard plates. one for each denom-
ination- II this is done. and 1t seems
entirely plausible. we can save the banks
a great expense. In case this method is
adopted the name of the bank issuing 4
given series OF notes would be printed
into the design on a different color and
by much the same process as Is now used
in the stamping Of the series and num-
Der.
Another feature of the new currency
will be its artistic improvement We
have been in consultation with the most
noted artists in the country. and their
united opinion is that there is even more
possibility OF artistic excellence In the
bank note than in the new coins. The
new designs will not be as much filled
with detail as at present Is the case.
More open space on the note is desired
Another feature Of the small bill which
will appeal to everyone is its long life.
The new note will go into any ordinary
purse with but one fold. Each time a
bill is folded 1t becomes less durable. 1t
will be possible to lay these notes fat in
any ordinary bill wallet SO that folding
and the wearing of the edges will be no
longer necessary. When you take into
the fact that the life of
a one-dollar bill is but six months, It
will be readily seen that anything that
tends to save the note from wear Is q
distinct saving Of expense"

preached. We believed that his entire
attention was concentrated on the dogs
and that he was paying little or no at
tention to US. But indeed we were mis-
taken. for as quick as a fash the pig

OF the number killed also charged the

AS already mentioned, il was in Mom-
bassa that the bear hounds were trained
to take up the scent OF lions. This
was done by dragging q tame lion over
given course, and then setting the dogs
on the tran. Once familiar with the scent
of the lion Mr.. Rainey declared. his
hounds would heed no cross scent until
that Of the lion was run down.
1t was here that old and tried lion
hunters, for the most part Englishmen
who had spent the best years of their
lives In the jungle, ridiculed the idea Of
stalking lions with dogs.
Better leave your puppies at home"
one of them told Mr.. Rainey: The
best you can expect of them is to fur
nish bait for the lions and even that
won't help swell your bag"
That's a sample OF the badgering
went through when We first landed on

when We returned. and the success of our
expedition was made known, our dogs
commanded very wholesome respect from
the scoffers, and many tempting offers
were made for their purchase. But as

part with any OF them"
Mr.. Rainey is planning a raid on the
Indian jungles, where he will endeavor to
demonstrate that his Mississippi bear
hounds are as effective in rounding up
Bengal tigers as they were the African

A dentist says: "Ninety-five per cent OF

The National Capital has been much OF
progress in the cause of oral hygiene In
the last week, in connection with the
sixteenth annual convention OF the Ma
,ional Dental Association. but in this
declaration, which was made by Dr. w.
g. Ebersole, Of Cleveland. Ohio, some
indication was given of the tremendous
forward strides which the specialists IN
hygiene of the mouth believe must be
taken to obtain the conservation OF the
health OF the masses.
One of the popular features OF the con-
yention of last week was the union
meeting Friday night of the Natlonai

of this last session

II the people can be taught that If they
exercise a proper care in the selection of
the food that is to be put into their

they need have little further concern Of

Scotland Yard Man
To Retire Shortly
Frank Froest, English Detectipe, Is Going to
Visit America Next Spring and Take
a Long Rest
a Long Rest.

The William J. Burns of England Is to
retire. and Scotland Yard. world famed
for Its detectives, is wondering how 1t
win. fill the place OF one of the most IA
nous investigators of crime It has ever
produced. For thirty-four years Frank
Froest has been a detective and nearly
all that time has been connected with the
criminal investigation department of the
metropolitan police force. Nine years ago
his retirement was due, but he could not
be spared. and it is probable he would
not now be leaving his desk were 1t not
for trouble he has been having with his
eyesight recently.
Froest differs as widely from the ira
ditional detective OF fiction as do his
American co-iaborers, the Pinkertons ard
Burnses. He is of Scandinavian extrac-
tion. and one Of his most attractive quail
tiles is his unfailing geniality which no
worry can break through He is a big
man physically. with build that sug-
gests the tenacity OF the bulldog. but,
in addition to being a born fighter, Frank
Froest Is a diplomat as well.
1t was he who brought about one of
the greatest reforms at The Yard by
breaking down the rule of maintaining
silence toward the press. He showed
them this policy was all wrong. and
at the time OF the Crippen case. was am
ply vindicated by the accuracy which
characterized all the newspaper stories.
The first day the story Of the crime was
published he wrote for the press a COM
plete summary OF the details SO far as
known.
Visits to America.
Froest has made several business trips
TO the United States. The visit he remem-
bers with the most satisfaction was in
1892, when he was here five months and
was given the thanks OF the American
government for his work in convicting
William Lord Moore for using the United
States mails for fraudulent purposes.
Moore's method was 10 write to credulous
people in England and on the continent
offering TO help them get their shares Of
unclaimed millions lying in banks. He
was tried in jackson, Tenn. and the jury
disagreed twice, but the third time found
him guilty. and he was sentenced TO nine
years in the penitentiary.
Froest also came to America to unravel
the mystery of the Tow send Burden
Jewel robbery in 1896 The Jewels. worth
100000, were stolen from the wealthy
American by two English servants. who,
IL developed, tried to cloak their crime
by showing the gems were taken by burg
lars. Froest discovered this in time TO be
able to return the jewels before they had
been separated and lost.

New Paper Money Is to
Be Smaller, Palmer
and Each Bill Is to Be
Distinctive in Ap-
pearance.

Those of us who go about with our
pockets bulging with huge rolls Of Uncle
Sans currency will welcome the new
banknotes which Secretary OF the Treas
ruy MacVeagh is about TO cause to be
printed.
Heretofore We have often. as We drew
forth from its seclusion a document sup
posed to be a 800 bin. found upon care
full examination that the Bureau OF
Printing and Engraving had affixed there
on the modest figure one.
All this uncertainty is TO be done away
with, for Secretary MacVeagh Is proyid-
ing for such individuality OF denomi-
nation that even a fuddled midnight rev.
eller may tell at a glance whether his
depleted roll is upholstered with tens and
twenties or Just common and despised
"one Sheets
It am sure that II Ii possible to make
currency which will not be confusing.
said Mr.. MacVeagh to representative
Of The Washington Herald. 1T was sug-
gested that the various denominations be
of different color. Many experiments were
made with this idea in view. but thus far
there has been devised no scale OF colors
that will Withstand the clever manipula-
ton of the chemist. 1t would be a very
easy matter, for instance to raise a dollar
bill which might be green to a SO which
would be purple or blue.
THE only practical method OF making
all denominations individual is in the de-
sign and printing. ! think that a bank
note may be made very artistic in ap-
peaI ance and yet be so peculiar to its own
denomination as to be readily determined
even at a distance. The present currency
is too diverse in design. l believe that
each denomination should be character
lied by but one portrait; that is, that
dollar. for example, should have but
whether It be silver certificate or treasury
note.
Too Much Engraving.
Another undesirable feature of the
present paper currency is the great
amount of Unnecessary engraving which
surrounds the numeral in the corner of
the note. This is not only confusing but
gives the bill an overdone appearance
The new currency should have very plain
figures, so placed within a white space
that they may be read at a glance
The new plate which / will be able
to have completed within a very short
time will be one-fifth less in size than
the present notes. This advantage to-
gether with uniformity OF design will
be a great saving in expense TO the de-
partment i am able to guarantee that
the expense of the new currency will
be over a million dollars a year less
than at present. Aside from the economic
reasons for the change, there are others
equally important. Facility of handling,
both by tellers of banks and officials in
subtreasuries, is another important gain.

Plans for Bank Notes

TT is very difficult to deter

vidual in design that there can
