The story of the decline and fall OF

the sandwich car first sprang into ex-
istence with its array Of good things

be associated with the lunch car.
From an humble start 1t grew to be
a recognized institution, in some cases
outfits have been built that represent
ed comparatively large investments.
The lunch car was primarily a crea-
ture Of darkness. During the day it
was concealed from sight, but when
the shades of night fell it was care
fully drawn by horses to the spot
where 1t was destined to radiate good
cheer. There, safely anchored, 1t did
a land Office business in pleasant
weather or foul, a haven of refuge to
the hungry and weary nighthawk.
Every class and every grade became

greater OF less degree. The rounder

drew up alongside to take solid re-
freshment. The belated person going
home waiting for a night car at a

COL. RON DOLLAR,
Famous Coin Owned by the Late Mayor
of New York

Famous Coin Owned by the Late Mayor
of New York
One of Col. Strong's possessions Of
which he was e~xtravngantly proud was
an 1904 dollar" He carried it in his
pocket for many years and valued 1t
at $4,000, says a writer in the New
York Press. The market price Is con-
siderably less, though it is said there
are only three such dollars in exist
ence. A few years ago l could trace
seven. One is in the mint cabinet at
Philadelphia, the second belonged
to M. A. Stickney, the third to w. s.
Appleton, the fourth to l.. G. Parme-
lee, the fifth to w. B. Wetmore. the
sixth to Col. w. l.. Strong and the
seventh to Mr.. Scott of Philadelphia.
Col. Strong's was formerly in the cabi-
net of Robert C. Davies, l was inform
ed, and was sold for $1,000. Our grand
old mayor used to ring it upon the
table at Richter's cafe, where he went
daily to eat his portion OF crackers and
milk when the govt did not have a
grip on him.
One of the mysteries is the disap-
pearance of the dollars of 1904 and
their fictitious value today. There
were issued from the mint no less than
1850 of them. Some say that alDiost
the entire mintage vas lost at SET by
the sinking of a vessel that was con-
veying it to China. Others maintain
that the mintage of 1905 included this
mintage, or a part of 1t. The re cords
show that only 321 silver dollars w're
coined in 1905. At any rate the 'lS0i
dollar" is commonly known among
numismatists as the king of rare Am
erican coins. Another mystery is that
this coin has not been counterfeited,
as were valuable ancient coins from
the ffteeth century down.
