FORTUNE IN RARE COINS
Fat Picking for Watchful Cashiers In
Stores, 5artenders and Street
Car Conductors.

Cashiers In stores and restaurants,
ticket agents at theaters and railroad
stations, bartenders and conductors
on cars are in 9 fair position to be-
come collectors of rare coins, as they
handle every kind Of money piece
from foreign coins to old-time money
Of the United States. A saloonkeeper
in Harlem declares he has made a
small fortune during the last few
years by saving the rare coins that
are taken over the bar.
Il have tin box filed with rare
United States pieces" he related,
"and l could have a collection Of for
eign coins if l so desired. You would
be surprised to see how anxious some
men are to get drink at the expense
OF spending rare old coin for It's
face value. Silver and paper currency
that pay good premium are given to
my bartenders for face value. I have
often noticed reluctance on the part
Of the holder before parting with the
coin. He will give a last look at the
money and then place it on the bar
for the refreshing beverage. One man
told me that a coin had been in the
the family for nearly century. He
wanted only one drink and was afraid
I would not take the coin because of
its age. I gave him the drink and
change for the piece at its face value,
and he was overjoyed."

TALKED IN MUSICAL TERMS
Policeman Shows Result Of Long Duty
at Door Of Concert
Hall.

All amateurs are familiar with the
musical term "syncopatioD, but for
the benefit of the non-musical 1t may
be said that 1t is a word relating to
time or rhythm, the precise meaning
Of which will be sufficiently indicated
by the story
A celebrated conductor was conduct
ing long series Of concerts, and he
had observed that it was always the
same policeman who was stationed at
the nearest door to the orchestra. Re-
marking upon this, he was informed
that the officer in question was be-
coming quite an expert In musical
terms, etc, 80 long had he been on
duty inside the hall. However, one
evening he was passing, and meeting
him accidentally in the corridor next
night, the great conductor accosted
him thus:
Officer" he said, where were you
last night?'
Last night, director?~ replied the
cop. "oh, I was in syncopation.'
in what?'' gasped the conductor.
In syncopation-off the beat, sir"
replied the policeman.

bring about this result ten years or
more ago. There was talk that the
owners were inclined to resist the or
ders Of the council, but were informed
that If the building was not taken
down at the instance of the owners
by the date specified, that the work
would be done under the direction of
the proper city officials and at the ex-
pense of the owners, with all the addi-
tional costs. Il was explained that
the building must go within the time
specified, and the owners, realizing thai
the court Of common council meant
business, will comply with the orders
Of the council and without question.
The site is one Of the most desirable
in the city, and there is no doubt but
that within q reasonable time that a
building in keeping with the general
surroundings viii be erected. This
building site is owned in the main by
the heirs Of the late Leander VIII
Inns, of which there are quite a num-
Der. waich in part accounts for the
general glect Of the property and
which allowed the building to go into
gradual decay and uselessness. No
agreement could be reached for ex-
pending money on the property, the
aim seeming to be to get some return
from the property as It existed, and
without any expenditure on their part
It is said that the heirs will be pre-
vailed upon to accept a. reasonable
price for the property, divide the coin
and permit some progressive citizen OF
wealth to acquire the property and
erect a building that will be a credit
to the city and monument of pro-
gressiveness for the builder.

authority of Captain Haven in the
Detective Ben Beebe episode evidently
resulted in a find that there was moth
ing to investigate and that it was
simply case Of where the detective
imagined that he was independent of
the police captain although a part of
the regular police force, and acted
accordingly. The detective supposed
he was acting within his province,
based upon the understanding he had
with the police committee that acted
as the directing power Of the notice
department in all the minor details
and without taking the captain, the
responsible head, into consideration.
The present committee acted Just as
did their predecessors for the past
quarter Of a century and did not real
ize that such action tended to lessen
the real efficiency Of the force.
This committee, which is composed
81 sensible and weau- meaning citizens,
when called upon to investigate the
matter in point, realized that it was
their own work that should be in
vestigated. They therefore decided
| that while in charge Of the business
management of the department that in
the future they would give their direc-
tons direct to the captain, not to the

grievances they must first file them
with the captain and that if he con-
sidered the matter outside of his jUris-
diction that 1t would then be ample
time for the committeeman to give the
matter consideration. This is as 1t
should be. and the captain will be
expected to execute in addition to his
routine duties, all proper orders is
sued to him by the committeeman, and
| Of course by the mayor, who, by rea-
son Of his office. is chief of police of
the city and also ex-off1cio chairman
OF the police committee Now every
member Of the police force under
stands clearly that not one among
them is a. bigger" man than the cap
tain. It Is well that it is so, and the
pity Is that conditions have ever been
otherwise.

Mr.. Ia. Dukes pIounhlnn

In spite Of the distractions OF the
Tobacco company's reorganization, Mr..
James B. Duke bestows much atten-
ton upon the work Of developing and
identifying his three thousand acre es-
tate, Dukes Park, near Somerville, n.
J. Not infrequently on his tours OF
inspection he personally directs the
laborers. One day he took the plough
from the hands of a slow, awkward
foreigner, saying:
Here, let me show you how to
plough a furrow. I've not forgotten
how 1 did that when 1 was boy in
South Carolina"
Another day he took the place OF
the boss Of a gang of workmen and
before he got through he dismissed

Alexander ]. Campbell, who is to
leave New London to take a much
higher position in the gas and electric
light business in Waterbury. is easily
one Of the most popular citizens and
his proposed departure is generally re-
GREETED. He was rendered a banquet
at the Thames club, Saturday night,
and while this was going on like hon
ors were being paid to Mrs. Campbell
by her lady friends at the Mohic,
hotel, which shows that Mrs. Camp
bell shares popularity with her hus-
band. Mr.. Campbell is easily among
the foremost of the body of boosters
that has boosted the city into promi-
nence and it was he who paved the
way that led to success. He first be-
came interested in the local industrial
organizations, and served as president
Of the New London board Of trade and
the New London business mems asso-
citation. He started the booming bus
mess by advertising the city in the
local newspapers, urging the people to
united effort and incidentally to use
more of the product OF the concern he
Represented and the company paid the
bill. This was the initial move to-
wards the organization of the boom
ers and he was always ready to as
sist in all that was undertaken for
the benefit OF the city.
There was a time when Alexander J.
Campbell was being seriously conSid-
cred as the republican candidate for
mayor and were he politically inclined
could have readily secured the nomi-
nation, and his nomination would car
~ with it sure election. For q COM
| parative newcomer he forged to the
| front rank of citizens bv his action
for the general advancement of the
| city. In the many matters of i'm
| portance that were before the last
| legislature in the interests of New
| London, Mr.. Campbell was among the
most active workers and when 1t came
to the raising Of the s125, 900 for the
Connecticut College for Women he s.
was in keeping with his efforts for the
public good since he became resi-
dent. His going is the cause Of much
regret and he carries with him the
/ best wishes Of all the people. Mr..
Campbell will continue to be interest
ed in business way with New London
and, it Is said, will make his summer
home here but viii have legal resi-
dence in Waterbury. His worth will
soon be recognized in that progressive
city where there is broader field for
| his general usefulness.

Public Improvement cannot be had
without more or less inconvenience and
expense, and as a matter of course the
people must pay the bills. This Is ap-
phcable to New London as well as to
any other city. There has been consid
cradle public improvement work done
in the city of late and more is 10 fol-
low, all Of which means EXPENSE When
the citizens voted appropriation it was
done with full realization that the
money to meet the expense must be
raised by taxation. Therefore the re-
assessment Of the property in the city
to nearer actual valuation, and the
consequent result of paying more mon
ey In taxes and without increase of
rate Is but the natural result. True,
there was comparatively small attend
enoe at the city meetings when ap-
propositions were made, but the meet
Ing Is the only place where such bust
ness can bo transacted, and the peo-
pie must comply with what is done at
these legally warned meetings. Oppor-
tuntty Is there given to those opposed
to appropriations for public improve
ment, and II they do not file protest
then they should ever after hold their
peace and take their tax medicine.
Although the tax list has not at this
writing been given to the public, 1t Is
officially stated that practically every
| piece Of property in the city has been
| advanced in NRltie and taxed accord
| tngly. OF course, the calamity howl
ers viii be heard, hut they will step up
| to the captains ONCE and settle or
take the natural and legal c0nse-
allenceR.
