.<'..>--.-.. Rare Coins. y.

Probably the most valuable collection
Of the aggregation is the coins. Mr..
Hindersman has not only pennies and
other coins Of the United States for
nearly every date since the founding of
the nation, but has has coins Of all countries
when he secured them, he said that he
began as a boy and gathered them in
all places of the world, in the ruins Of
| Egypt, Persia, India, Greece, Rome.
Many Of the coins are still unclassifed
as such work is very difficult; His
as he shows the coins, and his authori-
ties on ancient money are always at
hand. There are coins of the time Of
Alexander the Great, Ptolmey T., Titus,
Nero.
One rare specimen is the Coventry
! Of the Lady Godiva thru the streets Of
Coventry, to relieve the imposition Of
certain taxes upon the people. On one
side of the coin is picture of the lady
upon her horse, above which are the
words, "Pro Bono Publico;' upon the
reverse side is the figure Of an elephant,
bearing heavy burden, e..
coin, 500 B. c.; and the coin Of Sicily,
$50 B. c.; coins Of the time of Hadrian );
Commodus, and: Marcus Antonius; two
specimens of the "widow' 8 mite'' Of
the time Of Christ, of the same kind
which the, widow dropped into the treas
upon one side of which is the profile of
Cesar himself; a very rare speciman of
the eastern empire.
"You see.'' he said, "the coin is not
an exact likeness of the illustration
which was coined in 496, but belongs to
the same family. It is very rare.'
Miscellaneous Features.
In addition to his collection proper,
Mr.. Hindersman has Spanish swords,
pair Of huge walrus tlsks shown in the
cut, cat.with efghtylAgs, and a strange,
grotesque object styled "a tsmerman.
Mr.. Hindersman objected to anything
osity, as it was likely fake. Several
professors, he said, had examined it
and were unable to tell if it were
genuine or not. If genuine, it was
worth several thousand dollars.
IT picked it up on the coast of Cali
foge but SfF the csss is
fabul GUS creature, but then you know
it might have had a basis. - - I.
The object is about eight inches long,
and is slender; has a head somewhat
resembling that of a monkey and fish
like body. It has a woody growth on
head and back.
The Guarnerius Violin.
Mr.. Hindersman has violin bearing
date 1890 and made by Giuseppe Guar
nerius which is valued at $4,000.
Camilla Urso, six months before her
and Mr.. Hindersman took it to st. Paul,
where she played upon it and pro
nounced it worth the price. Her in
strument was made in 174O and was
valued at $4,000. but she admitted the
superiority Of Mr.. Hindersman 8.

1.-THE study of science,' he ex-
claimed, els the finest thing in the
world. Tt keeps one out of mischief and
gives him an opportunity to view God

glass Of beer, then go along about my
business He often works, he says,
till morning. 81 worked this morning
till o'clock.'
Worth Many Thousands.
The value of the collection has been
Variously estimated. Scientists and
professors who have examined it agree
that it is Of great value, but differ as
TO the price to be set upon it. Some
say it is worth 100000, and not long
ago an educated man of good Judgment
estimated it's value at $4,000.
Mr.. Hindersman himself has little
idea of the value in detail Of his speci-
mems, but thinks that the collection is
worth $50, 900, and offers it to the state
at that figure. He further agrees in
case his offer is accepted to travel and

collect for the state, He has never held
money as an object, and refuses to sell
a single specimen. He will not now
sell even duplicates, as he is starting
a second collection. But partly on &C
count Of his health, and partly because
wishes to dispose of the entire collec.
ton. He expects to visit the most in.
accessible places in the world. An ef
fort will be made to induce the com
ing legislature to appropriate the
amount asked. In case the legislature
fails to make the appropriation, Mr.
Hind ersman will sell to outside persons
in view. When showing his specimens
he has authorities at hand to prove his
assertions, and whenever there is the
least doubt in a visitors mind as tt

Artistic Arrangement.
Mr.. Hindersman is not only an ex-
pert from technical point of view,
but shows an artists temperament in
his groupings and arrangements. In

is the representation of bird being

states have a larger proportionate rep

states have larger proportionate rep
resentation under the Burleigh plan
than they would have had under the
restricted plan proposed by Represen-
tative, now Senator, Hopkins of ILL
nois, and other House leaders. The
Burleigh plan will go far towards help
ing President Roosevelt, should events
transpire that make the next presi-
dental contest close one.
The Burleigh plan will have an effect
on the action of the two National con-
ventions, which meet in about six
months from now. The delegates in
both conventions will be sent by Con-
gressional districts, except the four
delegates at large from each state
these congressional districts all being
arranged on the Burleigh apportion-
ment. AS that changes the proportion
of various states, it is by no means
remote that, in the event of close bal
loting for candidates, the new plan will
decide the fate of candidates otherwise
than it would have been under other
basis.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphltes
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

A Bangor correspondent of the New

A Bangor correspondent of the New
York Herald says of the position of
Mayor Beal of that city on prohibition
that he would not repeal the law, but
only the clause providing imprison-
ment for liquor dealers. He favors
heavy fines, with Jail in default of pay
ment. and a State asylum for chronic
drunkards.'' There is certainly method
IN Mayor Beas madness. After Great
ing drunkards it seems the proper
thing to take care of them but the
taxpayers will have to pay the bills.
On other pages will be found The
journals annual review of the year,
and while the record for 1903 is one
that must be gratifying to every we'll
wisher of Belfast we believe that the
year just entered upon will surpass it
in material prosperity and general i'm
provement. Certainly the present out
look is encouraging; but it should not
be forgotten that the future of our city
is largely in our own hands, and that
much may be accomplished by united
and intelligent effort.
