Nearly $7,OOO,OOO Profits to Uncle

N. Y. Sun.
What has become Of all the fractional
currency? In 1868 something over $780,,
000, 900 was issued, and the amount out
standing was increased about So, 900, 600
a year, until in 1874 the highest aggre-
gate was reached and the books of the
treasury showed nearly $40, 900, 900 in
circulation. The redemption was then
begun, and has continued until the pres
ent time; but since 1879 the amount out
standing has remained almost stationary
with a balance of S7,010,000 in favor Of
the government at the end Of the last ifs
cal year, June 30 1888. During the nine
months of the present fiscal year only
$16, 600 has been offered for redemption,
leaving outstanding $6,984 900, the
greater quantity of which is either lost
or destroyed or in the hands of curiosity
collectors. Some of it is hanging in
frames in the offices of bankers, and coin
and postage stamp dealers furnish it to
customers at a premium of about 200 per
cent
The government will probably be the
gamer by this scheme of Secretary Chase
to the amount of $4,000, 900, as the treas
ury officials do not believe that much
more will be sent in for redemption.
Clean pieces are never received nova

A HOME INSURANCE COMPANY
Have our people ever stopped to cog
itate with themselves on the impor-
lance of organizing home Insurance
Company, whether it be for the insur-
ing of life or against fire ? If not, we
would invite their attention to such
an important matter one that is
worthy of prompt and due considera-
ton. Take for instance the number
of houses in Annapolis that are insur-
ed in some one or more fire compan-
les, located in this State and elsewhere;
and then take into consideration the
amount OF. cash premiums that
are annually paid for the poll.
cies thereon, and we venture to
say that the sum total of cash capital
that is thus forced, as it were, into
foreign markets and from our city
would surprise even our wisest home
fnanciers ! Now, it has always been
an acknowledged fact, and a truism adj
mitted by all political economists,
that, in order to foster and build up
any kind of home industry, the peo-
pie of the particular locality must
turn their attention to the all imp0r-
tant essential of first learning how to
keep their money in circulation with
in their respective limits, and thus
prevent an exodus OF it from seeking
foreign hands. This is true the world
over, indeed it has become automatic
in every well governed and enter
prising municipality. Why then
cannot our people start their own in
surance company This could be
done by organizing joint stock com.
pany through the efforts of some Of
our enterprising and monied men. If
it pays other and foreign insurance
companies to insure your property
why win it not pay equally as well .
home insurance organization Not
being able TO give any reasonable
negative answer, we are strongly in
clined to the opinion and firm convic.
ton that such . company, organized
here in Annapolis would prove !
great benefit and IN undoubted sue

....NIrs. G.. L. Coleman, of Atlanta,
is Lulu IIurst's latest rival The At
lanta Constitution says: The lady is
well known and highly respected in At
lanta. She Is Mrs. c. +. Coleman, wife
of Z. I. Coleman, Superintendent of the
Atlanta Cotton Factory. Mrs. Cole
man had seen the wonderful Lulu when
she was in Atlanta, and her husband
had felt her peculiar and inexplicable
power. About ten days or two weeks
ago Mrs. Coleman accidentally ascer-
tanned that a chair would yield to her
touch and twist in any direction at her
will without the use OF muscular power.
at first she was lost at the power she
had, but after many trials of various
kinds assigned to herself the same pow
er Lulu Hurst manifested, and which so
nystitied all who saw her. She impart-
ed the knowledge to her husband and
repeated trials were made. These trials
only strengthened Mrs. Coleman's pow
er and convinced her husband that she
could repeat Lulu IIurst's freaks. Mr..
Coleman made the discovery known to
his friends. and last night quite a num-
Der of invited guests assembled in the
Young Mems Christian Association
rooms to witness her first public mani
festation of the strange power. Among
those present were eX-Gov. Bullock,
Hon. III. l.. kimball. Rev. Mr.. Thomas
j. c. Kimball, w. NJ. Scott and Memo
White. and about twenty ladies. Mrs.
Coleman was at first somewhat embar-
raised, but as she proceeded with her
task she became calm and succeeded in
everything she undertook. A stick held
by Mr.. Scott and Mr.. kimball was
made to pass around freely de-
spite their strenuous efforts to hold it
still. One of the gentlemen was COM
PEELED, very much against his will, to give
up a pleasant chair 10 which he was east
ly sitting while a table was raised almost
entirely from the floor simply by Mrs.
Coleman holding her hands upon it. The
masterpiece was performed when Mrs.
Coleman took a walking cane in her
hand. She held TO one end. and by sim
ply touching the other end to the edge of
the table, made the table stand on two
legs only. During the entire entertain
ment the gentlemen present watched
closely but could detect nothing resemb-
ling trick,ry. They all declared that the
lady's power was something wonderful,
and while all said that she was equal to
Lula Hurst some declared she excelled
her. Mrs. Coleman is at the same loss
