NEGRO BOYS DOLLAR.
lie Sold the Coin for 81, and IL Is
Worth $3.50.

One of the best jokes of the season Is
current in the Gale City bank bu lding.
saws the Duluth Tribune. All the law
yers are laughing about it. The victims
are Mr. Frank Walker. Col John b.
Redwine. aud a negro boy whose name
IS Jerry johnson.
a few DAYS ago this boy WAS stand
ing on a trash pile. and was engaged
in running his toes through the debris.
He noticed something br CHIT in the pile.
and when he picked it up found it To DO
very small yellow coin. At first he
thought it was copper, but as he finger
ed it his native sense told him it was
too heavy for "copper" so he at once con-
jectured that ii was made of gold. He
had some business with Mr.. Walker.
and while in his office showed him tho
piece of money. He asked the lawyer
how much he would give him for it.
Woolfok's attorney. after cycling it
closely thought it was a gold dollar,
and rs he was particularly anxious to
get such a coin to wear on his watch
chain, he offered the boy dollar for
it, which he gleefullv accepted.
Mr.. Walker gave the coin a careful
examination and became convinced
that he had paid too much for 1t. He
was in Col Redwne's office, and took
the coin out and exhibited it to the
great iinancier. "What will you give
me for itP" he asked. "Tll give YOU
dollar" was the reply. "And I'll
give You dollar and quarter" in
terrupted man who had come in to re.
new a note. Done" exclaimed Mr..
Walker. Here's your money" was
the quick answer The buyer left the
Office with his coin. and the lawyer
thought he had made good bargain.
Hurrying off to man that buys
coins, the purchaser exhibited the
piece. The dealer scrutn zed it close
ly and said: What Will YOU take for
it?" What will you give?" After
little consideration the dealer said:
"Will you take S2j for it?" The
answer was: "No. but I'll take $50 for
it. 'lt's 90; here's your money!
and the happy man walked out of the
office
The coin which figured in these
transactions IS a confederate dollar A
gentleman was talking yesterday to Il
reporter and he said: THE worst sold
man of the four was he who sold the
coin for $50. If it be true that it is, as
is represented genuine confederate
dollar. it is worth 5000. | am told
that there are only SIX of these coins in
existence. They are worth 500.

The prize was handsome silver medal, while the third was the clubs monogram in gold, the gift of a member, O. Otto Reichert. Frank Thompson was the judge and W. F. Perkins the starter.
 The members of the club are working hard to make the entertainrnent, which they will give in the New Haven Opera House Thanks giving evening, a grand success. Already the indications are that the venture will be something new for this city. The chief at- traction will be the fancy riding by promis nent bicyclists of the State, including MT.

YALE NOTES.

Depew Gives the Colle&ians a Short
 Talk Outside the RyperiOn-Enthu-
 slastic Reeeptf0n-The Y. M. o. A.
 Convention in Bridgeport.
 F. D. Tucker, G. B. Hollister and H. w. Luce have been elected as the deacons of the .freshnan class.
 After the meeting in the Hyperion Theater last night the college men collected outside and waited for the appearance of Mir. Depew, who was greeted with hearty cheers. He said he addressed them not as Republicans or Democrats, protectionists or free traders, but as Yale mon. MT. Depew evidently finished talking politics inside the theater, and his remarks were of kind to appeal to college men and were received with great enthu- siasm. After speaking few moments he re- tired to the hotel. The Republican club had expected to give him formal reception but it was deemed advisable not to do so. The State convention of the Y. M. O. A. which is in session at Bridgeport, will devote this afternoon and evening to the discussion of work in colleges. Many Yale men will be present, among them Stagg, who will address the convention.
 MT. Jones S4, who has been leader of the Glee club for so many years and expected to accompany the club on its trip to the West during the Christmas holidays will be unable to do so. This will be @ severe blow to the club as MT. Jones' experience as leader was almost invaluable to them.

u. s. CHANT POST.

The Visit Here Next Thursday of she
 Brooklyn POss-A Notable Grand
 Army Event-Genu1ne Action of Har-
 mony Division.
 Arrangements were completed last even- ing for receiving and entertaining U. s. Grant post of Brooklyn on the occasion of their visit to this city Thursday, October IS. The difficulty arising from the limited room was overcome by the generous action of Har- mony division No. 5, Sons of Temperance, which voted last evening to give up their hall upon this occasion and hold their busi- neas meeting in the office of Allen & Tyler, on the floor below. This is the second time Harmony division has shown it's friendship to the Grand Army and especially Admiral Foote post in giving up their regular meeting night in an emergency of this kind. The visiting comrades will arrive by train about p. m. and be escorted to the hotel by the post. After dinner the veterans will be taken in carriages to East Rock Park and other points of interest about the city. In the evening a monster camp fire or "bean bake" is to be given at the Atheneum. At 11:30 p. m. the visitors will be escorted to the boat by Admiral Foote post, the line headed by the National Blues, Captain A. H. Embler.
 To- day every member of Admiral Foote post will receive an official notice of the event, and the committee believe that nearly every comrsde who is able will turn out and give our visitors cordial welcome. U. s. Grant post is composed of leading business men of New York and Brooklyn, and was honored with the position of body guard at the funeral of their old comrade.
 The committee of arrangements for the visit are Rev. l. M. Foster L. B. Brown, Cap- tain 4. D. Sanborn.

 President Cleveland's assertion in his mes
 sage that the tariff is tax to the consumer
 was exploded. He explained that MT.
 Cleveland was too polite to declare for free
 trade, but had put it in uniquely in his mess
 sage: -1
 candidate for @ second time,' it was condi-,
 ton and not a theory that confronted him.
 ''Is Cleveland right in his messagei If he
 is, this controversy is oYer.4 If he is, our
 history goes for nothing. But there is noth-
 ing better in illustration of this than to compare free trade England with the United States." ,s -
 After drawing the line in graphic manner between the conditions of ou1 workingmens who are Independent of all men, and those of EnglandS dependent on all nations, he said: | tsProteetion has developed and is seternally developing America" In refuting the. statements made by the Democrats that the tariff was a tax he said that competition had reduced soda ash f-om $4S ton to $28 8 ton and steel rails from | $166 to $2S ton. "Who has been the loser? The foreign manufacturer, who formerly sent ! their goods to this country; America is the gainer. Protection, by competition, has brought the price of things down twenty five per cent, while wages in the last twenty-two years have gone up twenty-five per cent. Suppose a mill shuts down, as most of them must if the Mills bill becomes l law, and those men come to me and say they will work on the railroad am connect ed with for $1 day. The men whose plaees they wanted were getting g and $3. What would be the resulta Wages would come down, and there would be more workmen than the demand called for.
 ''rhe idea the disciples of Calhoun fought for is dead, but the principle is not. Roger Q. Mills comes to Connecticut and tells you how to vote, when he never saw the state of a factory or loom in operation. He gets | his idea from the little village where he breaches law. Qaughter.)
 Mr, Depew turned his attention to the Pro- | hibitionists, and said by their actions they were defeating their own ends by siding with | the rum element. He told story about Horace Greeley. An old man one day went | into Mir. G1eeley's office. "What do you ! want," snappishly asked the editor. seI have 8 subscription paper to help save people from going to hell by the use of liquor," answered ! the man. ''D-n you," said Greeley, ''If you've got enough go there now" Mir. Harrison was eulogized in glowing | terms, and his brave war record spoken of. He closed by saying that with the election of Harrison the Genesis of prosperity inaugur- ated by the policy of protection will be main ! fainad
