M. Bell Advertises for Keep- sake That Disappeared at Jefferson Club Dinner. An 1 842 silver dollar and a lot of Iemocrats got together at the Jefferson Club banquet last Wednesday night at Hotel Jefferson and after the Democrats were through admiring th? dollar it disappeared. The coin belonged t'j Nicholas M. Bell of 4442 West Pine boulevard, who has carried it for 30 years as a keepsake.

It dates the year of his birth and when Bel goes to a dinner and a stranger says. "What? You're not 85 years old? I wouldn't hae said a day oer 60," he likes to produce The dollar as proof. Someone doubter his age at th Jefferson Club dinner so Bell passed the precious dollar down the table for inspection only. Then he told the story of how a friend pave it to him 30 years ago whiles they were riding on a Broadway horse ear, and how in 1868 he made the speech nominating Horatio Seymour for president at the New York Democratic convention Bell was so absorbed in the story that he did not note the disappearance of the dollar. Now he is advertising a reward for its return.

He thinks that some Democrat at the dinner thought it would be a good idea, for one reason or another, to donate the dollar to the national Democratic treasury which is behind. Bell be-lisves some other dollar would do just as well. BRITISH GUNBOAT, FIRED ON, SHELLS CANTONESE FORCE i.r.tlnofrt from Ponf One.
