$500 FOR A MUTILATED DIME.
A New York Law Firm Will Pay a
Rich Reward For a 1O-cent Piece.
Nh N1,rI- IIor-nld


Any person returning to undersigned
a lost silver dime, dated 1887, and bear
ing the letters t. and &C." a certain
series of numerals and a triangular
outline, will receive $500 reward. This
coin was accidentally put into circula-
ton in New York Jan. "a, 1899. 1t is of
no especial value except to the adyer-
tiser. Any one having seen it will be
paid for information leading to its re-
coVery Denny & Donovan, attorneys
at law, 120 Broadway.
There is a certified check for $500 in
the hands of the law firm of Denny &
Donovan, which will be paid over to the
pOssessor of the dime described in the
advertisement reprinted above. The
check was deposited by client of the
firm who, in order to get it back again
is willing to pay the pOssessor the
handsome profit of $499.90. Mr.. Denny
declined to give the history of the coin
and why his client priced it so highly
until he had first had an opportunity
to consult him and obtain his consent
to make the facts public. He said, how
ever, that the offer was made in per-
fectly good faith and that the money
would Immediately be paid on q de-
livery of the coin.
1t was evident from Mr.. Denny's
manner that he shared his clients
eagerness to recover the coin. AS so
large a reward would hardly be deem
ed necessary for a mere keepsake, no
matter what the associations connected
with it might have been, the inference
was suggested that the letters and
numerals might have some present val
ue to persons holding the key TO their
meaning. 1t has been the custom from
time to time immemorial of those who
conceal treasure to leave a record of its
hiding place couched in such terms as
to be unintelligible to ali except per-
sons who hold the clue to the mystery
and by putting this and that together
are able to translate the riddle into
plain English. Whether the markings
in the coin contained such a record Mr..
Denny declined to say Nor would he
admit that the marked dime was an
important link needed to complete the
chain of evidence in some legal pro-
ceedings. as might be Geduced from the
fact that the loser sought legal as
sistance in its recovery, instead of adj
vertising for it on his own account.
Should the coin promptly find its way
back to its owner in answer to his offer
the mystery may never be elucidated,
but in any event there will be a gen
eral raking over of dimes the next few
DAYS in search of the truant piece.

When The Herald commented on the
Texas legislatures discouraging the use
of coarse epithets and bar-room bill

our morning contemporary. But it took
the matter up like a personal affront
and proceeded to justify it's abuse of
the editor of an evening contemporary.

ATTORNEY DISAPPROvEs.
Gives Adverse Opinion on House Bill
No, 1889,

In the opinion of the attorney for the
District, the enactment of House bill 1889,
for the relief of certain citizens of Brook
land, would be the establishment of bad
precedent. He, therefore, recommends ad-
verse action on the measure.
The bill provides that Isaac s. Hollege
and other citizens Of Brookland, whose
property is alleged to have been damaged
by reason of the grading Of certain streets
in that suburb, shall be permitted to pre-
sent their claims before the Supreme court
of the District, the court being given juris-
diction and authority to entertain and de-
termne such claims against the District.
The Districts legal &Iviser believes that
the establishment generally of the principle
involved in the bill would be to require the
Commissioners, before entering upon the
improvement of public highways, to take
into consideration the damages which might
be claimed by abutting property owners
If Congress is .-ispesed to give such reiief.
the attorney is of the opinion that 1t would
be better to impose the duty or fixing the
damages the board of assistant asses
sors. rather than leave it to the uncertain
verdicts of jures who. he fears, might be
influenced by popular prejudice against the
municipal corporation.
