is willing to pay the possessor the hand
some profit of $499. 80. Mr.. Denny de-
clined to give the history of the coin and
why his client priced it so highly until
he had first an opportunity to consult
him and obtain his consent to make the
facts public. He said, however, that the
OFFER was made in perfectly good faith,
and that the money would immediately
be paid on the delivery of the coin.
1t was evident from Mr.. Denny's man.
ner that he shared his clients eagerness
to recover the coin. AS so large a reward
Would hardly be deemed necessary for a

Citations connected with it Nigh have

the letters and numerals might have some

the coin contained such a record Mr..
Denny declined to say. Nor would he
admit that the marked dime was an i'm

OF evidence in some legal proceedings, as
might be deduced from the fact that the
loser sought legal assistance in it's re-

lead to keep the wind from blowing it up
but was held in place by straps. These
straps were sewed to the lining at about
the knee line and allowed only enough
width for freedom in walking SO thai

VERY MILITARY.
Very military indeed was one costume.
1t consisted of a plaid skirt and astra-
chan jacket. The colors used in the plaid
were dark red. a dull green, and brown
with a fine pin stripe of black. The back
ground, however, was of the red.
The skirt had a short train and there
were neither plaitS nor gathers at the
back. The skirt was gored to fit the fig

this matron fastened her placket with
small oXidiZed safety pins.
The jacket looked very chic with it's
broad belt OF military red ribbon. 1t
was clasped with a buckle formed of
swords and trumpets which were also
of oNldized silver. Across the front Of
the jacket were broad silk cords put on
just as you see them on an army officers
uniform.

of silver fox lined with blue satin. Her
hat was of smooth material with very

frills of narrow ribbon which ran from

The young woman to whom she talked
wore a tailor made suit of mouse color

bright green ~taffeta.
She carried a muff of dark velvet and
wore a collarette Of the same material.
The collarette covered only the shoulders

How fair outside looked to me!

Those ills and cures distressing;

And whoop, hooray!

THE CAKE WALK.
.itor Maryville Times:

Editor Maryville Times:
The noval cake walk which has
become universal craze among a
certain class of people, and which
has now reached Maryville, has
neither the approval nor regard of
the best colored families of this
place. We who are anxious to better
the condition, and train for worthy
and respectable citizenship, spurn
any demoralizing exhibitions which
poison the minds of the youth, and
reflect discredit upon The colored
people.
We desire our white friends, who
have always shown deep intere ST
in us by liberal aid in our various
entertainments, to countenance
and encourage the reputable and in
telligent exhibitions of our culture,
in the art of music, song, and rein.
ed elocutiop, in preference to such
ignorance and monkeyism as, is
displayed in this modern vulgar
and sensational cake walk.-J. ID
Paul.
