A Salome dance was performed on the
witness stand in the supreme court in
Brooklyn one day last week before Jus
tice Clark and a jury. The court room was
crowded with interested spectators. Zherie
Zaselle did the dancing in an effort TO pre-
vent William A. Ellis, proprietor Of the
five shows In Dreamland, Coney Island,
last summer, from being compelled to pay
$3.50 for breach Of contract. Though the
dancer omitted none Of the w~riggling, the
jury awarded the plaintiff $3.50.
The plaintiff who ~triumphed to the ex-
tent of the award was Nellie Weston. She
told the court she made a contract early
last summer with Ellis which called for
her to drill the ballet in the Feast Of
Belshazzar," one of the shows. and per-
form a dance in the Orient" another Of
her employers ventures.
HeF-work in drilling the ballet was ac-
ceptsble, but her dance In the Orient
was the cause of the breaking of the con-
tract, resulting in the action for $3.50. When
she had completed her work with the young
women who were to grace the Feast" she
was called before Ellis to show what she
was going to do in the Orient" The
court did not learn exactly what the dance
she performed before her employer was
like, but she testified that after he saw IT
he gave her s25 and told her TO beat It."
or course, that hurt her pride. but 1t in
jured her prospective bank account more,
and she sought a lawyer to obtain redress.
Then the action for breaking the contract
was brought by the young woman against
Ellis.

Bowman, Kee & Chapel and Ira J. Mix
asserted they cannot pay more with
out making the price to CONSUMERS

ducers in reply said to raise the price
to the consumer.
The big companies said last night
that representatives Of about one third
of their respective producers had signed

BAD MONEY AROUND
Milwaukee Sends Out Warning of
Counterfeit Silver Dollars
Look out for phoney' money!

Look out for "phoney'' money!
Milwaukee is being flooded with bo-
gus silver dollars by as clever gang
of counterfeiters as ever operated in
that city, and the entire detective
force is looking Tor them.
The bogus money is all made up in
silver dollars. They are stamped with
the date 1899, and the only way Of de-
tecting one is its light weight. In the
making of this money the counterfeit-
ers have used glass to give it the
metallic ring.
The silver dollar when dropped on
any hard surface gives a clear, bell like
tone, very clever imitation of the real
thing, but to one accustomed to hand
ling much money, it's lightness in weight
will be quickly detected
A shower of the spurious coin poured
into the tills of many Milwaukee mer-
chants last Saturday night when the
gang first began operations, and in
every instance the bad money was a
very excellent imitation of a silver
dollar
Under the head of the dollar will be
found stamped the letter IN, = and the
small co. under the wreath of the
American eagle on the other Sue is
quite imperfect The coins all have a
silver plated appearance, but despite
their defects are excellent limitations.
Many merchants have instructed
their clerks to be on the watch for the
counterfeit dollars

response Rev. Hustled said the
amount was a greater sum than he
received for his first eight months

a great surprise to both Mr.. and
Mrs. Hustled. Rev. Hustled is well
known in this county. having served
as pastor at Ovid and Durand.
