LOAD OF PENNIES PUT IN
Pans As JOKE ON STOuCH
Members of Tabernacle Chorus Donate
zoos of the Total 9,526 Coppers
Received in Last Nights Collection
At Instigation of Spooner

There has been an average of about
5000 pennies in the collections lifted
at the Slough tabernacle each night,
since the opening of the campaign.
Last night was the record night. There
was total of 1926 pennies in the
collection, which in straight column
would measure just 80 feet.
The reason is not that more persons
are giving pennies, but that persons
are giving more pennies, and it was
sort of put up job, too. The audience
gave only 2,51S of the pennies, which
is a normal amount at present. The
choir gave the other zoos "Indians. -
The guilty ones blame Musical Direc-
tor Spooser, who, it is alleged, put
them up to it as little joke on DR..
Slough.
The pans 90 around in the choir be-
fore the collection is lifted in the audi
ence. When the offering was taken in
the choir loft last night there was con-
siderable giggling and whispering.
Prof. Spooner knew what it was all
about, but he didn t let on. Some of
the young men and young women in
the chorus put into the pans rolls of
twenty -HNe pehHlee IreSh from the
bank, while Others donated coppers
which they had taken particular pains
to gather together, by having nickels
and dimes changed for chewing gum
and candy before entering the taber-
naele.
The total collection last night was
$250.47, very nearly hundred dollars
of which was represented by the small
est coins of the realm. In the vaults
of the East End bank, Treasurer Hef-
feltinger has in keeping total of
1900 coppers, collected at the taber-
naele since the opening of the cam
paign. These coins, if they were in
an upright column, would tower way
above the tallest building in Harris
burg.

LAW OF POI YEARS AGO Used
Ancient Ruling Is Applied to Case in
Which Damage Award Is 6 Cents

An old English law enacted in 1713.
exactly 201 years ago, played an i'm
portant part in a slander suit disposed
of finally in the common pleas court
session, which closed this afternoon. 1t
was the suit brought by Mary Pajrich
against Paul Lovranitch, in which a
scent verdict was awarded to the plain
tiff
The rule laid down more than zoo
years ago provides that in slander suits,
only when the amount of the verdict
exceeds 40 shillings, shall the costs be
paid by the defendant.
Since the verdict in the Pairich suit
was but 6 cents, or less than 40 shil-
lings, the plaintiff will pay the costs,
which, it is said, will run close to 500.
