Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars of
New Design to Be Made
After July 1.
Washington, May 30. Dimes, quar
ters and half dollars of new design
will bo granted after July first, Sec
retary MeAdoo announced today. For
the first time since 181)1, a change
will be effected in these pieces.
The announcement discloses that
the half dollar has fallen practically
into disuse. The new design was se
lected with the hope of restoring it
to more general circulation, it was
Indicated.
Under the new-coinage, each piece
will be of different design. The face
of the new half dollar hears a full
length figure of Liberty with a back
ground of the 'American Hag (lying to
the breeze. The goddess is striding
towards the dawn of a new day, car
rying laurel and oak branches sym
bolical of military glory. The re
verse side shows an eaglo perched
high upon a mountain crag, wings un
folded. Crowing from a rift in the
rock is a sapling of mountain pine,
symbolic of America.
The design of the twenty-five cent
piece is Intended to typify the awak
ening of the country to its own pro
tection, Secretary McAdoo's state
ment said. -
Liberty, a full length figure, is
shown stepping towards the country's
gateway, bearing upraised a shield
from which the fevering is being
drawn. The right hand bears the
olive branch of peace. Above the
head is the word "Liber! y" and be
low the feet, "IMC." The reverse
bears the figure of an old eagle in
full flight, wings extended and the
inscription, "United States of 'Amer
ica" and "K Pluribns Unum."
Hoth the half dollar and the quarter
bear the frieze, "In Cod We Trust."
The design of the (lime is simply
Liberty with a winged tap as shown
on the fore sido and on the reverse
is a design of a bundle of rods and
a battle axe, symbolical of Unity.

Washington, May 30. Col. John. S.
Moshy, tho most famous Confederate
raider of the Civil War, died here to
day after a long illness. He was a
native of Virginia and was 82 years
old.
Colonel Mosby was otic of tho most
picturesque figures in the capital
where ho had lived for many years
after the war. In spite of his ad
vanced age, until a lew weeks ago,
it was his custom to take many walks
through parts of the downtown dis
tricts of tho city. Ago had not bent
ins figure nor dimmed the keenness
of his eye that commanded the band
that made vivid history in the war
and it was seldom when ho passed
through a crowded street that ho was
not rocogni.ed. For many, years tho
I'onfyricrate leader was employed
at the department or justice, but ho
left the service several years ago.
A few weeks ago he was taken ill
and was taken to Garlield hospital
where he died today. Tho funeral
services will be held at Warrenton,
Virginia, at a time, to be announced
later.
Colonel Mosby's death, ills physi
cians state, was due solely to old age,
and he was conscious and interested
in what was going on about him until
an hour before he passed away, lie
will he buried at Warrenton, Vir
ginia, probably Thursday, and some
survivors of Ills noted command will
be his pall-bearers. His death on Me
morial Day was affecting to many.
It was said of Colonel Mosby that
he never tooli part in veterans' re
unions because twenty-two years ago,
when lie attended one ol his com
mand at Alexandria, Va., he was so
overcome with emotion tliat ho was
unable to speak. ,
Some sisters, a son and a daughter
survive him.
