"Here is the oldest coin ever made
n the world" said a collector. 1T was
made about the year 700 B. c. in
Egina, and you will observe that the
design in high relief represents a tor
toise crawling across the face of the
piece. You VIII not find any date upon
IL, because TO coin was dated prior to
400 years ago. The most beautiful coin
ever made, in my opinion, is this silver
piece of Macedonia, which was current
In Macedon. now Constantinople, 500
years before Christ, or 200 years earlier
than the time of Alexander the Great.
Though its face value is only ilfty-three
cents the coin is worth a price today
that would astonish you.
Here is a specimen of the coin OF
the smallest value ever issued. Ii is the
mite so called, such as the widow of
the Bible story dropped into the slot
for the poor, though it was her last
one. One-tiftieth of a cent it was
worth, and you observe that its
shape is hcxagonaI. Close by you will
notice a piece of money worth S22O. II
is simply u rectangular piece of gold,
stamped with the characters of China,
from which country it comes. Lumps
of gold are used in China FOR curvenc.
of large denominations.
This coin with the head Of the beauti-
full woman upon it, 50 exquisitely de-
signed, was minted in Egypt during the
reign of ptoleiny Philadelphus, 2,2i9
years before Christ. Tie lovely head is
a likeness Of Ptolemy's wife and queen,
Arsonoe. who was grandmother by six

reality several Cleopatras, though most
people imagine that there was but one.
Here is a gold piece that was issued
by Darius the Great before the children
Of Israel rrturnad from the captivity.
This is something comparatively mod

union some time before Columbus dis

coin ever issued-the thirty.second of a
ducat, minted in the year \. ID. 1860,
in the free city of Nuremberg. 1t was
worth seven and a quarter cents. by
the way, the Swiss it WAS who first put
dates on their coins.
Perhaps the funniest coins in the
world are those roundish, irregular
humps Of silver from Siam, running
down rom the bigness of a walnut to
the size of a b~uckshot, according to
value represented. You will notice
from the display of United States coin:
in this other case that during the first
year when We coined money in thi,
country, in 1872, we had nothing hui

yer from Mexico, and two kinds of sill

we have gold coins. consequent upon
the discovery of the precious metal In

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Aug. 24.-There
were sensational developments to-day in
the case of Isaac Smith, the Pike county
murder fiend in the penitentiary, and
one of the four men to be executed next

spondence with woman outside

months IN company with Mrs. Leuth,

Smith, when they would get rid of her
husband and she would install Smith in
the management of her business. 1t is

A DASTARDLY DEED.
Murderous Assault Made Upon Two

Night Shooting-An Awful Mysterys
Frightened Household.

About 1 o'clock yesterday morning a
soul entered the sleeping apartment of
two ladies at the residence of Jake john
son on the South Side and with rock
attempted TO beat out the brains of one.
They both fled followed By couple of
shots from the in,ruder's revolver, but
as neither bullet took effect the ladies
escaped with their lives, and the villain
fed out into the darkness that brooded
over the earth at that dread hour.
Mrs. S. T. Roberts is a sister-in-law of
Mrs. Jake Johnson. She has a beautiful
and charming daughter approaching the
full bloom Of womanhood. These two
ladies are stopping with Mrs. Johnson,
Mr.. johnson being now in New York.
On Saturday night no one was in the
house but the three ladies named, the
female servants and young negro boy.
Shortly after midnight the calculating
murderer entered the house. He got in
through window which he raised
for the purpose. The ladies apartment
was on the ground floor. With steslthy
step and listening ear he crept along the
hallway till he came to the proper
door, which being open he passed
through. The gas was lit. In his right
hand he carried large rock as big as
ones double fist.
Tip-toeing to the bedside he found his
victims wrapped in the folds of, unsus-
specting slumbeT.
All was well.
Then raising a.oft his arm, and gath
ering the fun force of his sinews, with
murder in his thoughts and glancing out
from blood shot eyes, down with q sick
ening crash came the heavy rock upon
the skull of Mrs. Roberts.
She awoke with q scream that rang
through the house and incensed the MUIR

Again and again he brought the stone
down on the head of his unhappy victim
till her hair was one great mass Of clotted
blood.
The daughter sleeping beslde her awoke
at her mothers scream aud both ladies
strove to escape.
Not oontented with his work the villain
drew his revolver aud fired at Mrs.
Roberts as she rose from the bed. Al
though fired but few feet from her
the shot missed its object, and the bullet
penetrated the head OF the bedstead.
Then he turned the gun on the fleeing
girl, and fired. She fell.

City-Denver game had an exciting finish to. day.
Two questionable decisions by Umpire Jeine in

that they swarmed into the field, hootinR and
1eering the umpire. Two young boys got hold
OF q rope. and in fun proposed
to lynch him. This added to the
excitement and it looked for q time as il the
umpire would be mobbed. Jimmy Manning
climbed up to the top of fence and addressed
the mob. He said the umpire had decided
rightly, and advised no violence be attempted.
This quieted the mob to degree. In the mean
time the players of both clubs formed hollow
square around the umpire and conducted him to
the club house, whence he escaped to Q cab and
WAS driven away.
