lard Hotel In that capacity he made many
friends. He was an accomplished musician
and as a performer on the saxophone was
said to be without rival in this country.
He was of a genial disposition and COM
panionable to remarkable degree.
While at the Willard Maj. Coffin intro
duced an innovation in the keeping of the
hotel register by introducing a line of pop
arrivals. the title to which was suggestive
of appropriate theme. The coming OF
an organization to the house. the historical
significance of the day, the weather OF
some happening was in this way made the
subject of his fertile mind
There was probably no piece of popular
music that he was not familiar with. and II
was his wide acquaintance with popular
songs that made it possible for him to con-
tinue his score with appropriate theme
daily for several years on the pages of the
hotel register. His memory permitted him
to write in these musical numbers without
referring to the score. although his library
contained hundreds of sheets of music

President Mckinley, having served In
Company G. 23d Ohio Infantry. with which

kinley and renewed his old acquaintance.
He had entered the Union Army pri-
vate and had done valiant service. his gen
ial disposition making him then. as after

When the war with Spain was declared
the President appointed Coffin a paymas-
ter in the volunteer army with the rank
of major and shortly before his assassna-
ton gave him commission In the regular
army. crediting his appointment to the
District Of Columbia.
Upon his appointment in the volunteer
service he was detailed to the Philippines
and after several years there was stationed
at Boston for three years. He was about
fifty-nine years Of age and in three years
could have been placed on the retired list
of the army. when.- it was understood
among his friends, he proposed to teach
music. which was always a favorite SUBJ

$40 a Day For congressman

Among the many wonderful changes
that have taken place in the United
States in the last half century, the
salary of Congressman is n of the
most noticeable. For instance, 90 years
ago it was common for an opposition
organ to twit a Congressman on his
opulent pay of s. a day aud mileage.
The new Congress that meets in Decem-
Der finds its salary raised 90 per cent.
A salary of $500 a year is provided.
which is $50 a day. Each member is
allowed a clerk at $500 a year. and
makes his own arrangement in this
particular. Mileage is literally on
strued.
New buildings for the special conven
fence of the Senate and House, near the

tenance are paid by the Government,
including that of a subway line to carry
members between the Capitol and their
new Office buildings.

NGVada'S Population
Probably 100000

Nevada boasts of a population
of $4,000" says the Chicago Rec
ord Herald. Yes, and then some,
says the Tonopah Sun. If Gold
field has 10000, Tonopah 5000,
Reno 10000, Carson 5000, Vir-
ginia City 5000 and Manhattan
1000, that would amount to 49,
900, without mentioning any OF
the smaller towns or counting any
ranchers whatever, nor the larger
towns of Eureka, Ely, Winnie
mucca and Elko. Seventy-fve
thousand would be a very low
estimate for Nevada's population,
and more likely it has between
10000 and 100, 200.

Advises Holding Philippines

Admiral Dewey strongly re-
sents the proposition that has
been discussed in a more or less
academic way to surrender the
Philippines which, of all men, he
was a leading factor in bringing
under the American flag. In a
recent interview the Admiral sets
out the reasons which impel him
to insist upon the retention OF
the islands. The strong point OF
his argument is not based upon
the military or naval Importance
of the Island, but upon the great
value, present and prospective,
of the Philippines to America in
the extension of our trade with
the Orient.
