PAUL JONES' WAGER.
To Start on a Tour Of the
World Without a Cent.
WHAT A YANKEE CAN DO.
Will Return at the End of a Year With
$4,000 Honestly Earned.

Boston, Feb. 5.-Some few weeks ago
It was announced through the local press
that a well-known clubman had, in q
rash moment. made n wager that any
man with fair supply of brains and not
too much pride TO prevent him taking
such jobs as were offered him, could start
from Boston or any other city without
cent, make tour of the world and re-
turn with $1,000, and the trip could be
made within one year from the day OF
starting.
The result was that words led to finan-
cial questions and resulted in wager be-
ing made that the gentleman who made
the assertion could not accomplish such a
feat. He Is "A man of excellent reputa-
ton, with an indomitabie will power and
thinks 80 much of his word that he imme-
diately. much To the surprise of his
many friends, accepted the wager.
The only proviso was that his name
should not be heralded throughout the
world, but that he would make the start
under the name of Paul Jones and would
cling to that name until his return. He
will make his start from the Boston Press
club within two weeks. The time will be
definitely settled at meeting of the
house committee of the club tomorrow.
The Preliminaries.
Paul Jones money will be pla ced in .
safety deposit vault in this city, and the
keys given into the custody of the treas
urer OF the company, with the implicit in
structions not to allow any person access
70 the vault until the return of the
traveller or one year from the day of his
start.
Paul Jones is a man slightly above me
dunn height, good looking, a bachelor,
and has particularly intellectual face.
He has held very responsible positions, is
reported to have good competency, Is a
clever writer, and speaks several lam
guages.
He will be stripped In one of the rooms
at the Boston Press club, his clothing
appraised by three of the most prominent
citizens OF Boston, and then he will begin
his trip in earnest, first earning enough TO
repurchase his clothing by busting the
clothes vf III gmbers of the club washing
windows or In fact doing any odd jobs for
such money as the recipients of his labor
are willing TO give him.
He will earn in an honest manner every
cent of the 5000 he expects TO return with
one year hence. In order TO secure the
necessary amount he will do any kind of
labor he is able TO, write stories, exhibit
himself in museums, wait in restaurants,
etc. He is confident he can win the wager,
and those who have met him are of the
opinion that he will succeed.
In every city he reaches where there is
press club he intends To visit the club
II only for moment, to let the members
of the profession know that he is all
right, and that his scheme is a feasible

tion, Division 1, A. o. H., had withdrawn,

ton. He rendered his resignation which

The records were read and several socI-
eties were announced as having with.
drawn.
Secretary Casey said that the 8. fl. T. A.
& B. delegates had Withdrawn, Dut as the
society has not had meeting since the
last meeting OF the convention II was

The report OF the committee on obser-
vance Of St Patrick's Day was TO the
effect that Mr.. Quinn had been elected
chairman and MIR. Casey secretary. They
had decided TO have a concert and lecture
Sunday evening, March 18th, and had
secured the refusal OF Lothrop's Grand
Opera House for the evening
MIR. O'Brien made the report and said
Gen. John NJ. Brennan would deliver the
lecture.
He did not think the expenses would be-
over s100 and thought the net proceeds
would be considerable, which could be
devoted in manner TO tina credit OF all.
Terrence Bradley wanted tho matter
laid over, but Mr.. O'Brien said II was
necessary for the convention to decide
at once aud that they could celebrate
by concert and lecture as we'll as by a
parade.
The only stipulation Gen. Brennan
made was that he be given reasonable
length OF time to prepare something
worthy OF the anniversary OF lreland's
patron saint.
Mr.. McCrory made ringing speech in
favor of the affair and the report OF the
committee was accepted. Michael j.
Nolan moved that the committee be given
discretionary power, but Mr.. McCrory
objected, as there was no money guaran-
teed for expenses. He wanted each soci-~y
TO contribute go for expenses.
Mr.. Bradley again opposed the idea and
said parade was what they were to con-
slider.
Mr.. O'Brien said 1t vas mistaken i'm
preston about delegates being sent only
to arrange for parade.
They were there to decide how TO cele-
brate the day and the idea outlined was
one of the best possible. he believed in
making the concert and lecture one to be
proud OF and all should make an earnest
endeavor to have II a success.
M. j. Nolan said he wanted TO sec what
ever kind nj celebration they had O
grand success,
The committee was then given discre.
tionary power.
On motion OF Mr.. McCrory It was voted
that each society present 80 at the next
meeting To guarantee expenses.
The convention thon adjourned to the
call OF the chair leaving all matters I'm the
hands OF the executive committee
