back to Canada by Commissioner Pound. They

his assistants had a circus in obtaining the pic

Lee Lick thought he was about to be exc
cuted and howled like a heather when the lens
was shot on him. 1t took four officers to hold
him. His companions heard his yells and
thought they were about to be tortured.
An interpreter was sent for and explained
the matter Then the Cinnamon made grim
faces and twisted their countenances into all
sorts Of contortions.

WHO OWNS THE MONEY!
A Strange Case which WIN he settled by
the Chancery Court


the Chancery Court
A case which has been pending over Ave
years is at last to be decided by the New Jersey
court Of chancery. On the afternoon Of August
2s 1856. five boys-Charles Fox. Thomas Fox.
Robert Devine, William eastman and William
Crawford, the latter New Yorker-were stroll
ing home along the Pennsylvania railroad at
Elizabeth. after being swimming in the Eliza
beth river. when they came upon a bali Of rags
as large as a child's head, which was lying
alongside the track.
Young Crawford picked il up. but a moment
later threw 1t away. Then eastman ran after
It. brought il back and the boys began pclting
each other with il. Growing tired of tins sport
one OF them suggested that il he opened TO see
what was inside eastman cut the cords bind
ing the ball together. anu to has astouishment
and tnat OF his companions the interior was
FOUND TO be composed of bank notes, mostly
one aud two-dollar bills. The lads ran home
with their prize, and Mrs. Fox took the treasure
70 Chief HERON, accompanied by all the bows.
The money was given to him for safe keeping
until an owner could be found. Mr. Kerou
counted the money and found SIS. and he de-
posted II under seal in the First National Bank
at Elizabeth. and adver tised extensively in all
the New York and New Jersey papers for the
owner.
Numerous applicants appeared. but none of
them could describe correctly the contents OF
the ball. Then, when all hope of finding the
rlghtfnl owner was abandoned, arose the ques-
ton who was entitled to the find. Crawford's
father insisted that il all belonged to his son.
because the latter first discovered tile ball
Crawford was on a short visit TO his cousins the
Foxes. and that was how he happened to he
present The other boys all stouty disputed
the Crawford claim, they insisting that as lie
threw the bail away he had forfeited his right
| TO the whole OF the money. The parents Of
| eastman claimed that his title to the money
was the best, he having cut the ball and picked
| 1t up after Crawford threw away his luck. They
were willing, however, TO have an equal division
| between the five lads. but Crawford's father
would not consent he demanding all or none,
and he engaged Lawyer Helheld of Plainfeld
| to push his claim.
The Elizabeth boys secured Senator Marsh
| ana Mr.. HERON engaged Judge Mccormick as
counsel The matter was taken to the court of
chancery. and on Monday Chancellor McGill
| ordered Mr.. Keron to turn the disputed treasure
over to the court Of chanoery. This was done
Yesterday, Senator Marsh taking the money to
Trenton.
The whole matter has been turned over by
the chancellor to Vice Chancellor Van vliet at
| Newark. who will take testimony as TO the
particulars Of the finding Of the money and
make final dispose. Of it. The probabilities
are that after the court of chancery and the
lawyers engaged in the care get their fees there
Will be precious little left fer whomsoever shall
be adjudged to be entitled 10 the money.

THE STARS circulation in
the City of Washington is more

that of any other newspaper, and
the number of its readers more
than five times as many. As

Our Charities.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Our District charities for some time past
have attracted a great deal Of attention, and
widely different views have been expressed
concerning their proper management Dis
appointments have occurred undoubtedly in
the distribution Of the aid received from the
government, where only impartiality and fair
ness were intended, and the superintendent OF
charities has no sinecure-far fromit
take it that it is generally believed in view OF
the peculiar relations that the District sustans
to the government, that the latter should fur
nish ITS proportion of expense for carrying on
aud tOf course just method by which each
should he given an amount proportional to the
sum raised by the charity, il acted upon, wonld

new life into it, relieving long anxiety and

the dispatch sent by him to Senior Pedro Montt
and the other ministers in Europe. relative to
President Harrison's message and published in
the official journal yesterday, is to be regarded

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
While it is not best to rush into print on
every occasion. it is high time now for some
one to speak. Your correspondent Of last night
does not speak for ''the majority Of colored
people" unless he so considers himself "The
majority Of colored people" like to feel free to
go wherever they choose, without having the
fact continually thrust before them that they
are black and therefore belong in the Jim
Crow department This 10 not social equal
ity, il we understand what is meant by the
word social" AL the colored people want is
that unjust determinations be removed and
they be let alone to pursue their own course.
Then. when they exceed their privileges handle
them as the white offenders Of the law. Colored
people have no time to crowd the bathing
beach and there 10 no fear Of the white people
not finding room as usual. We have enough of
Jim Crow cars on the railroads Please don't
give US Jim Grow bathing beach.

Concerning Mr.. Bakers Remarks About
Georgetown.


To the Editor Of The Evening Star
Apropos Of Mr. Bakers remarks In Tuesdays
issue, would like to say that the people Of
Georgetown are delighted that Mr.. John A.
Baker can afford to make such a noble sacrifice
for our benefit. His same kind regard for our
interests made him secure the charter to build
the River. Barge and Dock Companys road to
the detriment OF the gentlemen who intended
to build to Washington and Western" with
the assistance they anticipated. When it was
found that the noble spirit who is bent on bene-
faction was in their way an effort was made to
join interests. But his wish to collect toll over
his short line made this impossible. The WASH
ington and Maryland charter was sold at cost
to secure the Baltimore and Ohios ability to
build their road and compensate Mr.. Baker for
his valuable time and immense efforts in way
OF explaining his interests in Georgetown.
When the road is completed the citizens will
vote Mr.. Baker their most sincere and I'M
adulterated thanks for his disinterestedness.
am not aware - his ever being invited to take
the interest in our affairs that he has so kindly
shown. A CITIZEN OF GEORGETOWN.

Prof. Garner Takes Simian Small Talk With
a Big Photograph
Prof. Robert l.. Garner, the enthusiastic ad-
mirer Of the monkey tribe and the man who is
making investigations into the monkey Ian
guage with the use Of big photograph, re-
turned to New York yesterday morning from
Bridgeport and made another trial with his
machine at the monkey house in Central Park.
Mr.. Garner has been interviewing Barnum L
Bailey's exhibits and he says he has made some
extra good reasterings. Yesterday morning he
spent nearly three hours with Jake Cook and his
pets. The monkeys were remarkably laxative,
and Mr.. Gamers photograph took some good
Impressions.
He returned to Washington last night aud
he will make other experiments. From here
he goes to the Cincinnati zoo and several
others in the west. He leaves for Africa via
London. Marseilles and the Canary Islands
the middle Of this month to pursue still further
his Investigations. His idea is to make COM
parsons. with the aid of his phonograph. be-
tween the vocabulary Of the Americanized
monkey and the monkey in its wild and un-
tanned state.

Thanks Mr.. Stevens for His Csndor.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Last week asked o certain question Of Mr..
Stevens in reference to the discrimination
made at the bathing beach. In last evening 9
issue the reply came from said gentleman.
Two Of the main reasons for my asking the
question are: First, find no discrimination
made in New York and other places in refer
ence to the free bath houses. The second arises
from the fact that 1 read in foreign paper an
account Of the supposed negotiations now going
on to annex my native home to this country az
coaling station for American ships. These
and other reasons make me anxious TO know all
can in reference to this great nation, Of which
1 hope soon to see my people become part,
especially that they may share in the push and
vigor OF the American people. Many thanks to
