THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ON
PENNY's Toss-The death of Colonel w.
c. Coup the veteran Snowman, was noted on
Monday.
While in his bed at the Carleton hotel,
Jacksonville, Fla, last week. the old show
man told a correspondent how he happened
to lose so heavily in che Aquarium venture in
New York city in 1879.
He and Henry Reiche, the foreign animal
dealer, were partners in the concern, and each
had more than 100000 in cash tied up in
it, For the frst few monts the Aquarium as
big success. Then the subject of opening
on Sunday led to bitter fight against it by
the clergy Of New York.
Reiche wanted to keep it open and Coup
opposed it. They could not agree, 50 Coup
suggested that they dissolv partnership. But
this was no easy m tier, and finally Coup said
Lets flip penny, the winner gets the
whole layout; the loser gets ouf."
1t was so agreed. All Coup's money was in
outside Oft The throw of the penny meant
poverty to one and a big load to carry for the
oties.
Coup took a penny from his pocket aud
told Reiche to call it while in the air. Then
Coup tossed It.
Reiche called "heads."
The copper fell to the floor and spun
around for i few moments, while both men
stopped eagerly over it. They were the only
witnesses.
Finally the penny began settling with the
stalls side underneath, ard Coup saw that he
bad lost.

ITHAs been demonstrated by the o.
S. Supreme Court that the government
patent office is permeated with fraud
and corruption. When almost all the
other federal Offices exhibit evidences
of corruption it would be strange if the
patent office were exempt. Under
other governments corrupt officials are
punished severely, but under this one
they go scot free, as Captain Howgate
has done recently. No wonder tie

corruption.

THE secretary and the treasurer OF
the American Missionary Society hay
ing robbed that society of its funds, it
has issued an appeal for increased con-
tributious. The Bible says the man
who doesn't provide for his own house
hold first, before looking after that Of
spmebody else, is worse than heather,
and in saying this it accords with
natural feeling and common sense.
What applies to one man applies to
many men, or to a community. There
is more need for true and effective
missionary work in every community
of this country than in Asia, Africa
or the islands of the sea, including
Hawaii and those able to contribute
to missionary funds should see to it
that their money is expended among
the heather near their own homes.

THE STATES FINANCEs.-The con-
dition of the finances of the Common
wealth of Virginia, judging by the re-
port of he auditor of public accounts,
is anything but encouraging. 1t is not
generally believed that the assessments
of real estate this year will show q
large increase over the assessments
made in 1890; in fact, it is feared by
some that there may be a decrease. In a
great many counties land will be placed
at much lower figures than FIVE years
ago. Therefore, it is almost apparent
that the legislature next winter will
have to take steps looking to an in
crease of taxation or reduction of ex-
penses, or both.
