Bank Note Alarm*
Brazfliansl
Klo de Janeiro, Sept. 15.?The ex?
hibition of g ten-dollar United States
rbank-note with the words "First Na?
tional BAnk of Brazil" showing prom?
inently on it has just led to a discus?
sion In the Chamber of Deputies here
ms to the wisdom of having Bra ziel an
national currency printed in the. Unit?
ed States, as is now dope?
The note was issued by a national
bank of Brazil, Indiana,, but some' of
the deputies evidently were not aware
that such a city/ existed.
"It appears that we are a colony,'
observed one deputy.
??No, that is not possible." explain?
ed Deputy F^erras. "We have some
of our treasury note? printed by an
American concern and probably there
has been an exchange of plates."
Another deputy described the case
as- low: of "unnamable gravity."
Deputy Frontln remarked that as
the word Brasil on the note wan
spelled with a "Z" it was one more
reason why tho Qrastllan people
should write their name of their own
country correctly by spelling It with
an "S** to avoid confusion.
Scene time ago the minister of
ftnanue issued an order that all nat?
ional currency printed In this country
should have the name spelled '"Bra?
sil" which he declared was correct.

ity of the vote vast, was declared the
nominee for sheriff, and M. A. Wilder,
