CINCINNATI. Ohio February 2-Refer-

Erlanger and Stair & Havlin had agreed
not to conflict with each other in theatrical

cent occurrence in that city. John
Edwards, a switchman, startled the
occupants Of the real estate Office of
j. NJ. Chamberlain, Jr., in East st.
Louis, by attempting to pay for
1900 house and lot with single
silver dollar. Edwards had told
Chamberlain that he would pay cash
for the property, Chamberlain was
anxious to make the deal, and the
bargain was closed few days ago,
and when the. switchman profered
the dollar coin Cham berlain was as
.tonlshed. Edwards asked the real
estate agent to accompany him to
st. Louis, where a numlsmatist paid
him $3.50 for the silver piece. -
But after all if these dollars we're
numerous would not conditions be
similar to the present time? Some
one would have them all so that the
ratio of possession would be compar-
atlvely the same as it IS now.
