In two weeks operation OF the plan
only four cents had been lost, presuw-

saves time for the clerks and for the

STEAL DOLLARS FROM FLOOR.
new Workers In Hard Luck, Ex4sAc
silver Decorations from .
Noted saloon.

Reform In "de Ate" district OF New
York city reached the saloon of the late
"S4yer Dollar" Smith, In Essex street,
the other day, when, by order of she
statesman's widow and his son,
"Half-Dollar" Smith. the s11er dol
lars in the marble floor were removed
by stone-cutter with a hammer and
chisel.
Several days ago two prominent
Engelites, without overcoats, but car
rying canes. went into the saloon and
sat at table. They drummed on the
floor with the canes for awhile and
then went out without patronizing
the bar. Soon after their departure,
Simons, the bartender, discovered
that three of the silver dollars were
missing from the floor close to where
the Engelites had been sitting. On
the same day a member of the Essex
Market Bar association went broke
several times in a poker game not
far from the saloon, but on each occa-
sion got into the game again with a
bright silver dollar. On that day he
carried an umbrella with sharp
ferule. AS he was a member OF Flor
RE Sullivan's vice committee, no sus-
picion was attached to the umbrella
when more dollars were missed
On Sunday afternoon an ex-office
holder fell downward on the floor. 1t
was discovered soon afterwa-d that
just where he fell another dollar had
been pried out of the marble
Several members of the ostracized
set have been falling all ov& the
place for several days, and each time
they got on their feet they breathed
audible curses against reform and the
police, but cheered for free silver. 1t
is conjectured that sometimes these
falls were caused by the want of sill
yer.
Within a week more than so of
the dollars were stolen, and "Half-Dol-
lar Smith became suspicious of his
political friends, especially as nearly
all of them carried canes in clear
weather and umbrellas when ii was
cloudy, and the order to dig up the
remaining dollars was issued.
