$10,000 BILL IN PLATE

Church Official* Believe Mistake Wae Made by Donor. Washington, April 9.—The insertion of an advertisement in a local paper that there had been found in the collection plate of the Roscoe Methodist Episcopal church, near here, a SIO,OOO bill, developed the fact that the church officers think the donor made a mistake. The yearly collections of the church do not average much more than this amount, and the officials, in the advertisement, state that they will return the money to the owner if he wants it back and can prove he Inadvertently dropped it into the plate.
