FREAK COINS HAVE GONE.
Few of Those lss. cd for Special Pur-
 poses Remain

Recent mention of the disappear ance of the s2.5o gold piece from cir culation and the premium this coin commands as a curio have set many 10 rummaging in old pocketbooks and the bottoms of cash boxes and draw CTS in search of odd or out-of date coins. Some have found $2 piece, but not many. The 8 piece. one quite common, but always a sort of curiosity, is oftener found, and many have specimens of the little gold coins representing 25 and 50 cents, which were not minted by the gener- al government and probably have not so mach gold in them as they repre- sent. They used to pass as coin, but never were in general circulation, be- sing so easily lost that they soon be- came scarce.
 One of the handsomest coin relics seen is s10 gold piece, bearing the mint stamp of 1799. It is larger than the present S10 gold piece. The own CT has it hung on band. wearing it as charm on his watch c6ain. The own CT says he he refused an offer of s150 for this relic. The old octagon $50 pieces were quite common in Califor- mia in the early days. when gold dust was largely used as the circulating medium. They were made of pure gold, and while they had not the ele- gant finish of the gold coins minted by the government in those days, many still remember them as the handsom- est coin they ever saw any people now would consider them handsome on account of the $50 in them-Port land Oregonian.

SAYS JACK IS EASY.
Jeffries Thinks Sharkey Is to Have a
 Cinch With Munroe.

New York. Jan 19.-"Unless Jack Munroe has improved a great deal since he met me in Butte, think he will prove an easy victim for Tom Sharkey when they come together" says Jim Jefries. q am familiar with Sharkey's methods, having fought him 25 rounds. and I think I know Nun roe's weak points as well as his strong ones. Munroe's battleswith Peter Maher and Limerick, both of which he won, I do not take seriously. In fact, one can not express an opinion as a result of his showing in these bouts, as the men were of little class. Maher is unquestionably all out, and as for Limerick, he showed that he was little more than a novice.
 Notwithstanding the reports Of Munroe and his improvement, it will take him long time to dispose of a man like Sharkey, and if the sailor fights him in a proper manner, he will surely win. don't mean to say Sharkey is such 6 great fighter or d clever boxer. He is Eeither, but he is nevertheless a brett ytough propo- sition. He can stand a terrible punch ing, and he always has a wallop at his command which is sure to do damage whenever it reaches its mark. Al right to the jaw will be easy to land on unroe, and it win surely put him out.
 Let Sharkey send a couple of his wallops to Munroe's stomach. and Il guess that will take the steam out of him. Munroe is not developed to any great extent around the body, and al blow there will have great effect. It will weaken him to such an extent that the right swing on the jaw will put him to sleep.
 "Sharkey can land either of these blows. Munroe has little or no de- fense. He is by no means a finished fighter, and when he is trying to land a blow, be invariably forgets to cover himself up. Actually there is noth- ing for sharkey to do but to take ad- vantage of the opening.
 "Munroe has never had any hard battles to fit him for such hard gameI as Sharkey, while Sharkey has hadl as much experience as any of theI heavyweights. As say, Sharkey isl not clever, in fact, he is awkward, and this fact makes it all the more dificul: for an opponent to land onl him. and at the same time it makes him a dangerous antagonist, onl who is swinging dangerous rights and lefts which are to cause damage if they score.
 "Munroe would be an easy victim for straight jab, but this is one blow that Sharkey very seldom uses This is because the sailor does not believe there is enough force in the straight delivery. He prefers a swing or joltl which is backed up by the force of his | body and shoulders, which come for ward with the swing"

HooT MON; AWA' WI kILTS.
kiIties Band, in Gay Attire, Despoii ed By Customs Officers.

ed By Customs Officers.
 Ishpeming, Mich, Jan. 19-Gay in their kilts and the bright-hued plaids of half-score clans, the "Kilties," a crack Canadian military band, march ed into town yesterday to appear in concert. Today they marched sadly cut, their barek nees hid in prosaic trousers, and cheap coats taking the place of the scarlet jackets Of their uniforms. United States customs of fcials had worked the transformation, having seized the uniforms on the plea that they had been smuggled across the border.
 The "Kilties' ordered their kits from Glasgow. When the band was in Detroit the clothes were sent to Windsor, Ont, On the advice of an American consul there the members were to change clothing and parade across the line. The band donned the kits, each suit costing s47 in duties. It now develops that $150 in export entry would have been enough, and that the law has been violated.
 Customs officials pursued the can ny Scots and overlook them The kits are now in Washington, to which an appeal will be made.

made fifteen bales of cotton to the
