IT'S A KEUKA BANK BILL.

A MEMORY OF WILD CAT DAYS.
A Rhode Island Man who Went West
and Fell Among-Well. He Got Some
State Bank Money and He Has 1t
Yet.

"And not many days after the younger
son gathered all together and took his
journey into far country"
1t is matter Of history that the elder
as well as the younger ones of New Eng
land have very frequently initiated in
this respect the ancient freedom-lo loving
Prodigal Son; have gathered their effects
together and departed for n far Western
co untry; not, howeyer,to spend their lives
in riotous living and return home after an
interval broken down In health and
pu rse, but rather TO become industrious
ana enterprsing citizens OF that grow
ing region; many of them becoming emf
nent in affairs of business and tate.
We are a nation of travellers. To take
a journey to the great West or the sunny
South was once as inconvenient, in a
financial way, as To cross the Atlantic.
This was when the state banks were in
being. lt was the common custom To
convert paper currency into gold TO carry
on the journey, 10 guard against the great
variety OF paper money that would be
met with in passing through dozen or
more States. One so providing himself
would demand coin for coin in dealing
with the railroads, hotels, stores, etc. At
present n person may start at moments
notice, and any money he may have in his
pocket, good at his home, will serve him
in any part of this broad land, and we
have the authority Of ex-senator Is. L.
Edmunds for saying that "a greenback
is just as good in the heart of Europe as a
piece OF English coin. Everybody is will
ing TO accept IL without discount"
In 1885 the writer had little expert
ence with State paper money. Bound for
the State OF Iowa he got as far as Chicago
all right, because he had a through ticket
10 that point, but he had planned severa
stops in Illinois. He had with him the
State bank bills of Massachusetts, which,
by the way, passed readily, Western
people being glad TO receive them at face
value After leaving Chicago he became
subject To the dangers of Western cur
reucy, and OF course was all at sea. Ii in
change he was handed "a state bank bill
of OHIO, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois or
Iowa, unless he was an expert in such
matters, how could he refuse to take il?
Ac ually he had no kno owledge In relation
to it.
The writer placed implicit confidencs
in the railroads, believing that their Off
cials would give good paper in change Tor
the same quality, buC he found himself
mistaken. HIS experience proved that
there was nothing in the line of wild
cat so bad that an Illinois ticket seller
would not give, but he was somewhat
discriminating as to what he received.
He carried away from local station i'm
Illinois bank bill that he has In his pos
session 10 this day, souvenir OF that

WATERBURY, Conn, Nov. THE en-
gfffeer on the 5 a. m. north bound freight
train on the Naugatuck road, yesterday
saw a mans head across the rails at the
crossing near the race track at Derby, but
he could not stop his engine before it
struck the body. The man was thrown
some distance and was killed. The medi-
cal examiner found wounds that indica-
ted that the man had been beaten into in
probably by toughs who at
tended prize fight at Ansonia Saturday
night. The murdered man was William
Brown, aged 80 years, a Naugatuck track
walker, whose route was between High

In view of all this IL is exceedingly sur
