Thousand Dollar Bill Passed
Around as SIOO Note.
Several Business Men of Hyde Park
and Englewood Do Not Know Value
of Money When They See It
—Elusive Bill Trailed.
Chicago.—There are eight business
'wen in Hyde Park and Englewood
who do not know a thousand dollar
bill when they see it. Eight of them
had it in their possession the other
day.
Each one passed it on to the next
man as a SIOO bill. The last to De
ceive it deposited the bill to his ac
count in the Guarantee Trust and Sav
ings bank, 835 West Sixty-third street,
still believing it to represent only
SIOO. The receiving teller discovered
the size of it.
Here’s the story:
A business man walked briskly into
the Woodlawn Trust arql Savings
bank, 1208 East Sixty-third street.
“Give me $100,” he said, tossing a
check to the paying teller. The teller
snapped a bill from a pile, ran it
through his fingers and slipped it un
der the wicket.
The man walked out. He made a
purchase.
“Here’s $100,” he said to the mer
chant with whom the sale was con
ducted. The merchant took the bill,
glanced at it, and tossed it into his
till.
About this time the paying teller of
the Woodlayn Trust made an invoice
of his cash.
Then he ran for the Englewood po
lice station. Detective Edward Dud
ley set forth for the missing 100 bank
note. The cashier had given him the
name of the man who had asked for
SIOO in exchange for a check.
"Thousand dollars? You’re kidding
me," said the man when Dudley found
him. "But anyway, I haven’t got it.
I gave it to Jinks.” Dudley went to
Jinks. Jinks sent him to Dinks. From
Dinks he passed to Binks. Finally he
wound up with August Nelson, 835
West Sixty-third street.
"Thousand? No, you’r* bunked,”
said Nelson. “I deposited it at the
Guarantee Trust. The cashier took
it for a hundred. He ought to know."
Dudley dashed for the bank. "Gim
me that thousand dollar bill quick.”
said he. He got it.
Dudley was asked for the names of
the business men who did not know a
thousand dollar bill when they saw
one.
"I have been requested not to give
out their names,” said the detective.
“They are laughing at the error they
made. It turned out all right, so we will
withhold the names. I guess the whole
bunch is making so much money they
don’t take time to look at hundred
dollar bills.”
VACUUM CLEANER FOR FLEAS
Devotion of Big Maltese Cat to Mod
ern Machine Results in Discovery of
Benefit to Pet Animals.
New York —Through a discovery
made by "Buster,” a large Maltese cat,
the flea population of Murray Hill, L.
1., is fast disappearing. Recently the
animal’s owner added a vacuum clean
er to the household equipment. After
pumping the dust out of her rugs she
applied the nozzle playfully to the
cat’s fur. At first "Buster” showed
alarm, but, finding no damage fol
lowed, he lay still while receiving a
thorough eleansing.
When the vacuum cleaner was
brought into use a few days later
"Buster” promptly ran to the nozzle,
rubbing against it and purring until
his coat received another going over.
When the dust bag was emptied sev
eral fleas were seen struggling amid
BURIED COINS FOUND
Salvage Crew Successful in
Raising Man-of-War.
Vessel Sunk in 1799 Carried Gold
Treasure Estimated at $5,000,000
—Two Quaint Old Cannonsand
Some Balls Recovered.
Tepschelling, Holland. —The search
for $5,000,000 sunken treasure be
lieved to be aboard the old British
man-of-war Lutine, which was wrecked
in 1799 while on a voyage fron^ Yar
mouth to Hamburg, gets closer and
closer to success every day now.
Bit by bit the old wreck has been
uncovered, the National Salvage a-s
--sociaticn’s ship Lyons’ great vacuum
pump having worked wonders in clear
ing away the masses of sand em
bfedding her. Now she is practically
clear on the starboard side.
The port side still remains more or
less covered —the Lutine must have
heeled over to port when she went
down, or else the water gradually
urged her over that way—but the
great pump should make little of the
work of clearance.
When this is done, the exciting and
romantic task of locating and bring
ing up the bullion which has so long
lain on the sea bottom will begin.
Any day now, so the divers engaged
on the wreck say, the sand may be
cleared and the first real haul of
coins brought up.
Already, although no appreciable
amount of the wealth borne on her
EXHIBITS SEEN AT MINING CONGRESS. •
WHEN the American Mining Congress opened in Chicago on October 24
there was on view an interest i”- 'o' of exhibits connected with the
mining industry. Among these were the devices used by the government

photograph shows a member of the co rps equipped with the oxygen helmet.
the debris in the ash can. It was ob
served tbat the cat was less annoyed
by his tiny enemies than formerly,
and it became evident he attributed
his relief to the vacuum cleaner.
News of the new flea catcher
spread among other owners of pet ani
mals, and the nozzle of the weapon
was turned on many dogs and cats.
At the end of the onslaught the con
tents of the dust bags were burned.
Hedges which had begun to show the
effects of too much service as back
scratchers, are beginning to thrive
again and the pet animals in the Mur
ray Hill section of Flushing expect to
pass the dog days very comfortably.
NOW HUNTING WILD CATTLE
Descendants of Stock Taken to Wash
ington by Scotch Colony in IS4O
Now Prey of Hunters.
Seattle, Wash. —Although the state
of Washington has its “No Trespass”
sign tacked on the herds of elk in the
Olympic mountains, and the open sea
son for deer here lasts but three
months each year, guidei*>are returning
from the wild regions with larger game
—wild cattle, unprotected by law.
Grant W. Humes has just brought in
last voyage by the old Lutine has yet
been brought to the surface, single
coins, many silver ones, have been
found. Altogether, roughly, a handtul
of silver has been recovered.
And coins are all that the wreck
has yielded. The Lutine’s anchor, a
big crusted iron thing, eighteen by
eighteen feet, with the ship's name
engraved upon it, is now on the
lighter lying over the wreck,, and two
quaint old cannons and some old
fashioned cannon balls have also been
found.
The anchor, which weighs about
three tons, is in a remarkable state of
preservation, as is another ' anchor
brought up.
One cannon was loaded almost to
the muzzle. The task of taking the
charge out occupied a man practically
a whole morning. Everything about
it is really wonderfully preserved;
even the cord and the flintlock ap
paratus is Intact.
The longer the weather remains
fine the greater the chance of the
gold being found soon. In fine,
smooth weather the divers can work
uninterruptedly, but on stormy days
all are forced to be idle.
Rice Crop Prospects Good.
Tokyo, Japan.—The outlook for the
rice crop this year is gratifying, the
yield being estimated at more than
53,000,000 koku (205,000,000 bushels).
This is 14 per cent, above the figures
ror last year and eight per cent, above
the average for the last ten years of
49,000,000 koku (245.000,000 bushels).
the shaggy hide and long horns of a
wild bull he killed in the plateau re
gion at the headwater of the Dusewal
lips river. Humes, who has lived in
the Olympics for 15 years, says, a herd
of several hundred wild cattle is at
large near the source of the Dusewal
lips. Other herds, Humes says, feed
on thousands of acres of wild hay in
the plateau regions bordering the
Queets and Hoh rivers. Two other
guides confirm the story.
Indian legend says the stock was
brought to this country by a colony of
Scotch settlers who landed from a
sailing vessel in the early forties. The
colony did not thrive, and its mem
bers returned to civilization,
Guidec say the wild cattle and horses
are more timid than deer, and more
difficult to hunt. With a scent as
keen as that of the elk, the wild herds
flee to the almost inaccessible hid
ing places in the hills when alarmed
by the approach of man.
Gotham Death Rate Low.
New York. —The death rate of New
York city for the first week of October
was the lowest ever recorded, reach
ing 12.60 per 1,000. This is seventy
two-hundredths less than in any previ
ous week since the records have been
kept.
NEW SOUP PLATE IS PRAISED
Noiseless Spoon Inventor Lauda Chi
cagoan’s Finger Proof Dish—ln
vents Ladle for Spaghetti.
St. Louis. —Sterling H. Campbell of
this city, inventor of the noiseless
soup spoon, hastened congratulations
when he learned that Isaac Allen of
Chicago had perfected a finger proof
soup plate. They will go well togeth
er, he believes.
Campbell resides at a hotel and he
knows how it is. Observation in pub
lic eating places has sharpened his in
ventive genius.
A ladle which vzill enable any one
not Italian born to make reasonable
progress with a dish of spaghetti is
nearly perfected. He has discovered
that a teaspoonful of olive oil on a
grapefruit will keep the juice from
squirting into one’s eyes.
Fenny Lunches for Pupils.
St. Paul, Minn. —Penny lunches will
be provided for the pupils of some of
the St. Paul schools. The board of
education has voted $3,000 for the pur
pose of making experiments with the
proposition. Malnutrition and lack of
proper food are said by physicians who
have studied the case to be the cause
of a heavy rate of mortality among
the children of the city.
Potatoes Give Fire Alarm.
Spokane, Wash. —A fire at the home
of R. Miller the other day burned a
hole in a sack of potatoes suspended
over the rear stairway, and the noise
of the potatoes rolling down the stair
way awoke Mrs. Miller. The fire was
discovered and the family fled for
safety.
LITTLE RUSE DIDN’T SUCCEED
Youngster’s Scheme Was All Right,
But Economical Father Was a
Match for Him.
The proprietor of the most promi
nent hotel in the town of S , Ky.,
Is a man of a very economical na
ture, in fact he is an extremist in
this feature. He has a six-year-old,
red-headed son, that didn’t inherit his
father’s economical disposition. Re
cently the son was very much in need
of a five-cent piece for soda water
purposes. He went into the dining
room, where he was free from obser
vation, and removed his shoe strings
and placed them in his hip pocket for
future reference. Returning to the
office he approached his father and
said:
"Pa, give me a nickel to get me a
pair of shoe strings.”
His father glanced down at his
son's shoes, then turning around ap
proached the office safe and opened
it in silence. He took out the cash
box and raising the lid extracted a
pair of new shoe strings, which he
handed to his son without a word.
The youngster took the strings with a
crestfallen air and then to the amuse
ment of the onlookers exclaimed:
“Stung again, by granny.”
More English Humor.
The first night Walter Kelly, known
to vaudeville as the “Virginia Judge,”
walked up the Strand he complained
to his English companion that the fa
mous street in London was dark at
nine o’clock. “Why,,” said he, “at
this hour Broadway is as bright as
day. There is one sign alone, ‘The
Chariot Race,’ in which there are 50,-
000 electric lights.” “But I say, old
top," said his English friend,
“wouldn’t that be rather conspicu
ous?”
The Wrong Throat.
A little boy took an apple to school
the other day and was playing with
It. When the teacher saw him he
took it from him and commenced to
eat it.
As the boy saw the last piece dis
appear he commenced coughing, and
when the teacher asked him what he
was coughing for, he replied:
“Please, sir, it’s gone down the
wrong way.”

for his friends burns the golden thread
