CONFEDERATE MONEY BURNED
Hundred-DoIIar Bills Converted to
Mere carbons for
Lamps.

Twenty years ago there was still q
barge supply of the paper money is
sued by the Confederate governemnt
during the Civil war. Today not much
of it is met with. and even the con-
fldence men have to resort to real
counterfeits What has become of it7
Rslks the New York Sun.
There is a man in Atlanta who can
answer that question, for he has dis
posed of millions OF It, Through some
scores OF commercial travellers with
whom he was acquainted, he was for
some years buying up all the Confeder-
ate bills that could be procured, at
IL price that seemed to many too
high for what was, after all, worthless
paper.
In turn he sold it to the Edison
company for a good price. For GER
tain small incandescent lamps which
the Edison people were manufacture
Ing q certain kind of carbon was
needed, which could best be obtained
from paper made out of sea grass
That kind of paper is not made any
more. But the confederate money was
all made out of sea grass paper.
From this the carbons for the lamps
could be manufactured. Now that the
sea grass paper can no longer be
had, bamboo is being used instead, but
It is not quite so good.

made to open the highway to traffic
this summer, but 1t will be an unsat-

Think They Deserve a Chance
to Play at Park.

| Now that Billie Pfau's Amboys have
climbed up in the position of strong
contender for the championship of the
state on the diamond there are num-
ber of teams to camp on his trail and
ask for games at the park. The latest
two who want to play the quondam
! PAGERS, are the ST. franks and the
1 Alerts of Atlantic Highlands. who
have beaten the Acmes and the st.
Anthony teams this year.
The st. Franks, after their victory
on Sunday, from the Acmes want a
clear title to the city championship
and want to meet Pfau in the bargain.
Joe Mullen, the manager of the team,
says that in consideration of the fact
that both the st. Anthonys and the
Franklins hung defeat on the PAGERS
in last years series, the combined
! teams should have a good chance with
them. The team Is the best OF the two
culled out and patted down to one
/ aggregation. They are confident that
they would be able to do something
to the Amboys, which they would not
soon forget, and Pfau is requested to
think the matter over.
In talking over the matter with the
writer, Pfau thought 1t out and finally
practically promised to start negotia-
tions for the series.
! A series between the two would
probably be the biggest drawing card
possible to book for the park. 1t would
be a sure cure for the non attendance
sickness, which teams are prone to
suffer from toward the midships of q

that they have beaten the two strong
