that these islands should pass into
the hands of the United States.
From a military point of view their
value can hardly be overestimated.

British Coppers Found Behind Wall

British copper coins more than 200
years old have been found in the old
Lobdel mansion in South Wilmington,
which is being razed to make room
for six-story manufacturing plant.
The coins were between the wall
paper and the washboard in what was
the parlor of the house, and were
found by Thomas w. Cunningham, of
South Wilmington, an employee of
the company.
Some of them were so badly worn
that it was impossible to make out
the exact date, but the figures
"170-" are visible. Other coins are
dated 1775. The house was built
40 years ago as the home of one

BUFFALO FEARS BAPTISM.
Animal Escapes From Corral and is
Promptly Lassoed.

An exciting buffalo hunt in Central
park stirred the families of the zoo
and brought thrills to the matutinal
speeders along the bride path. A
baby buffalo, four days old, broke
from cover some time in the morn
ing and Bill Snyder, the head keep
'er of the park, found it's mother cry
ing when he reported for duty.
Today had been set for the baby's
christening. He was to be berib-
boned and presented with flowers and
named Bill Cody, after famous Buff
falo Bill. Maybe the little chap got
wind of the trouble in store for him,
or maybe it was his natural bent for
liberty that impelled him to loosen
an iron spike Of his corral. At any
rate, about 8 o'clock in the morning
the telephone in the arsenal police
station began ringing and frightened
riders declared a strange and fear
some looking animal was amuck on
the bride path.
The baby looks like anything but
a buffalo, with his wobbly legs, fiat
feet and funny shaped big head. He
scared people. Bill Snyder and a
dozen intrepid hunters of Central
park went out and lassoed the buf-
falo and now he will have to be
christened whether he likes it or not.
