The reason, it appeared afterward. was

nearly due when she said she wanted 20

in the room alone.
The mother and bridesmaid went out
but stayed at the top of the stairs on
guard. They thought she was secure. when
they heard a cry down stairs and rushed
back to the room. The bride was not
there, she pad stepped upon the porch
and swung herself to the ground by the
branch of a tree. Unfortunately for her

VALUES OF CERTAIN COINS.
Some Facts and Figures ELECTED
From tke Numismatists.
From the Philadelphia Record. z


From the Philadelphia Record
Washington, D. c.. Sept. 20.-After elect
ing officers at the fifth annual convention
of the American Numismatists to-day
coins of almost priceless value were dis
played.
AS viewed from a numismatic stand
point it is the condition of a coin which
fixes its value. 1t is not the date or age
except in less than thirty instances. that
is sought for at the big quoted premiums.
Pierced, plugged, badly worn, scratch
ed coins, or those on which the dates are
illegible, have no particular value.
A perfectly uncirculated cent of 1888
would easily bring 800, whereas a good
cent of the same date can be purchased
for $40.
For gold there is but limited numis-
matte demand, and the supply is greatly
in excess of that demand. The double
eagle Of 1919 is worth about $500 All gold
dollars are at a premium, and worth from
81 20 an S1.40 each. Those dated 1863 1854
and 1860 command from $3.50 to 81 each,
and 1915. s..
The bulk of numismatic transactions are
800: half-dollar of 1877 brings $40 and a
quarter of 1921 demands $40 The dime of
1904 IS the most valuable, being worth 80
and the half-dme of 1892 easily holds the
record at S63 A large copper cent of 1888
would bring $25, and a half-cent of 1886
is in demand at $50
The thin silver half-dime of 1902 was
bought by its present holder for $685. and
has sold at SO.

A Rabbi Dies From Fright.
From the Wv York Trlbune.


Jacob NJ Aronson, assistant district
rabbi of the Thatford street Synagogue.
in Brooklyn was arrested recently on
complaint of Solomon Nichen, and assis-
tant officer of the synagogue. for killing
chickens without permit. He spent twen-
ty-four hours in Raymond street jan, and
nearly went frantic through fear that he
was to receive treatment like that given
him in Russia, where he was terribly per-
secuted a few years ago by the cars or
ficers. In his rawlings when taken from
the Jail, he pleaded against being taken
to Siberia. He was taken home, put to
bed and died from heart disease, aB-
gravated by fright, according to DR.. Mil
Ter of East New York.
The dead rabbits friends regarded Mich
en- as his murderer, and there was nearly
a riot in Thatford street yesterday, when
Nichen walked up and down in front OF
the synagogue, which was crowded with
mourners, and cried:
I'm glad he's dead, I'm glad he's dead.
] didn't kill him, but I'm glad he's dead"
Then, in the presence Of the mourners
he took out a black bottle and moclsingly
drank to the repose of Aron-
sons soul, after which he passed
the bottle to half a dozen of his friends,
who did likewise. A crowd of Aronson's
relatives made a rush for Nichen, but six
policemen who had been detailed to keep
order saved Nichen from violence.

A CHINESE vENTRILoQuIsT.
The Wonderful HIusisn Created by
His Art.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times
A man who witnessed the performance
gives the following description of what u
ventriloquist IN China did:
The ventriloquist was seated behind a
screen, where there were only a chair, a
table, a fan and a ruler. With the ruler he
raped on the table to enforce silence. and
when everybody had ceased speaking there
was suddenly heard the barking of dog.
Then we heard the movements of a wo-
man. She had been walked by the dog,
and was shaking her husband.
We were just expecting to hear the man
and wife talking together, when a child
began to cry. To paciIy 1t the mother gave
it food; we could near 1t drinking and cry
ing al the same time. The mother spoke
to it soothingly, and then rose to change
its clothes.
Meanwhile another child had been wax
ened and was beginning to make a noise.
The father scolded it, while the baby con-
tinued crying. By and by the whole family
went back TO bed and fell asleep The
patter of a mouse was heard. 1t climbed
up some vase and upset 1t. We heard the
clatter of the vase as it fell.
The woman coughed in her sleep. Then
cries of Fire! fire!' were heard The
mouse had upset the lamp; bed curtains
were on fire. The husband and wife walk
ed up, shouted and screamed, the children
cried, thousands of people came running
and shouting.
Children cried, dogs barked, the walls
came crashing down, squbs and crackers
exploded. The fire brigade came racing up.
Water was pumped up in torrents. ana
The representation was so true to life
that every one rose to his feet and was
starting away, when second blow OF the
ruler on the table commanded silence. we
rushed behind the screen, but there was
nothing there except the Ventriloquist his
table, his chair and his ruler.

was high one. standing several feet

A single glance at the infurated animal

THE MURDER OF sTAMBULoFF.

From the New York Post
Madame Stambuloff is urging a curious
piece of circumstantial evidence against
M. Natchovitch, whom she accuses of hav-
ing been implicated directly in the murder
of her husband In a recent interview she
said: MY accusation is specially directed
against NJ. Stoiloff, although l cannot
conceive why he should be prejudiced
against my husband, with whom he had
always been formerly on a most friendly
footing. L am not surprised at anything
which NJ. Natchovitch does, as his past
speaks against him. When, four years ago,
NJ. Beltcheff was struck by a bullet IN
tended for NJ. Stambulof, NJ. Natchovitch
came to me and asked for the measure
ments of my husbands shirt, as ne wished
to have bullet-proof shirt made for my
husband in Vienna. gave him the meas
urements, and fortnight later he brought
the shirt, which, as experiments proved,
afforded protection against revolver bull
let's. My husband, however, disliked arti-
Giles of clothing which restricted his free
dom of movement, and he never wore the
shirt only NJ. Natchovitch, my husband,
and ! knew of the existence Of this shirt,
and l alone was aware that NJ Stambu-
