HON. o. VINCENT COFFIN.

Senator Coffin was born at Mansfield, Duchess county, New York, June 20. 1886, and is lineal descendant, in the seventh generation, of Tristram Coffin, who came from England about 1642 and was afterward governor of Nantucket and Tuckernucket. He was educated in the Cortland academy and the Charlotte vile seminary, New York. The son of farmer, he passed his boyhood in farm work. He taught school when sixteen, and was salesman for a wholesale mer- cantile concern in New York when seven- teen. From nineteen to twenty five he was the New York representative of 8 prominent firm of Connecticut manufac- turers and subsequently, became special partner in successful business enterprises in New York.
 In 1859 he married the daughter of the late Linus Coe of Middletown and went to that city to reside in 1864. Although excluded by the authorities from military service in the war of 1861-5, he chose to render what service he could in furnishing a substitute and in other ways. He was a member of the New York committee of the United States Christian Commission and president of the Brooklyn, N. Y., Young Mems Christian association during considerable portion of the years in which these organizations were most prominent in field hospital work for the army of the union.
 After settling in Middletown, MT. Coffin became the active executive officer of the Farmers and Mechanics savings bank and held that position fourteen years, un- til 1878, when i'll health obliged him to retire from active work. Six years later, his health being restored, he became pres ident of the Middlesex Fire Assurance Company, position he now holds. He was president of the Middlesex County Agricultural society in 1875, has been mayor of Middletown for two years, di- rector and vice. president of the First Ma tional Bank, director, secretary and treas urer of the railroad company, was presi- dent for four years of the Middletown Young Mems Christian association and has held over score of other positions of a more or less public character.

THE RORRIN BOY.

Nearly forty years ago when the name of N. P. Banks was a ''tower of strength to the then young republican party, James Buchanan jokingly said in his presence that "Some very young men had presi- dential aspirations" adding with all self sufficiency of one in possession, "but one must needs wait" Without denying the soft impeachment, Banks, with charac- teristic promptness, replied that ''young men could afford to wait,'' the wit of the rejoinder lying in the intimation that the older politician was fortunate in having al ready secured the coveted prize, as the time in which he 'could afford to waltz was already passed. But it was long,
 weary and disappointing wait if the am- bition was his and remained with him to any where near his life's end. From be- ing the lauded leader he became follow CT, sinking at times into comparative ob- scurity, overshadowed by those whose names were unknown when his was more than national possession. But whatever there may have been of failure and dis appointment to himself and to his friends and admirers, Nathaniel Preston Banks helped make history, and his public rec ord is brighter and purer than many who have received greater honors from the hands of their fellow citizens. A cotton factory bobbin boy nearly three-quarters of century ago, then apprentice and 1ourneyman machinist, student and law yer, a legislator at B, state speaker at 35, president of state constitutional con- vention, and congressman at 37, and year older finds him the central figure of the greatest civil battle fought between slavery and it's opponents, previous to the election of Lincoln, when after two months struggle that shook the country from centre to boundaries he was elected speaker of the national house of repre- sentatives. He was scarce 40 when he. started in his three years service as gov ernor of Massachusetts. To all of these he brought brilliancy, courtesy and hon. orable, sagacious administration. And here endeth the first lesson. When not yet 45 he was made major-general in the United States army, and this was undoubt- edly the turning point in this thus far brilliant career. Had he entered military as he did civil life, nearer the foot of the ladder, he might have still kept in the van among presidential aspirants.- Ipaaa, in Wade's Fibre and F,0b7-Sc.

To the Public: The attention of the people of the state has frequently been called to the work of the Law and Order League. Some have responded with en- couraging words and substantial aid. Our second year is drawing to a close and we wish to ascertain, if possible, the atti- tude of our citizens toward the organiza- tion. We have learned the strength of the forces against us, and we should know our own strength and from whence our support is to come, in order that we may plan safely for the future.
 Our year ends October 1st, and at that time we should have thorough knowl- edge of the situation. Will every law abiding citizen kindly answer the follow ing questions?
 1. Do you approve of the work already accomplished by the league?
 2. Do you believe that we should ex- tend the organization and continue our aggressive warfare?
 3. Will you use your influence to this end during the ensuing year?
 4. Will you contribute one dollar or more to the support of the league?
 We presume the people are familiar with the organization, if not, we shall be pleased to give any information desired. Let us hear from every town in the state.
 Yours respectfully,

THE primaries of the Lexington (Ky.) congressional district were conducted as elections, as the total vote of the eight counties shows. The count returns MT. Breckenridge 7,818 votes, Owens 8,O74, Settle 3,406. Breckenridge protests, and his son-Desha- literally "bully boy''- goes about picking quarrels with "men who opposed father'', in one instance at tempting to stab man in hotel office. There is no doubt of break between the Owen and the Breckenridge men that will insure that the former cannot get the full democratic vote by considerable.

He was alone in his room at the time of the accident, having just left his family at the luncheon table discussing some recent burglaries, remark ing as he went that he would make prep arations to receive any such unlawful vis- tors.

Rev. Dr. Parkhurst, in an address in New York the other evening, said Fl rejoice in the presence of so many wo- men. The women whipped Breckinridge, and the women can whip Tammany ]" And in a sort of apology, he added, I'd rather say women than ladies women means more." So it does. Think of la dies in fight against Breckinridge or Tammany either! The Hebrew wordtrans- lated woman is ''man-ess"- s"-that is, the female man. The woman is the better half of man, but. 'lady'' is fast losing the distinctive meaning it once had. Dr. Park hurst will accomplish something worth while if he can persuade the real women of New York to take hand in the fight for municipal righteousness.
 THE nomination of Senator Hill to be governor of New York is hardly sur prise to the country. Judge Gaynor and William c. Whitney had declined the nomination. Hills, if successful in the coming election, will stand preeminent among probable candidates on the demo- cratic ticket for the presidency in 1896. Failure to him, under the circumstances would mean political death to most men, but Hill is not so easily killed. It,will be. however, one of the most exciting state elections ever held. ....
