RARE COINS MAY BE FOUND

New York.--Many ands OF rare

sentiment aroused in the meantime
TO preserve the estabh skment which

Long before the revolution there
had been much complaint against Eng
land for not establishing a colonial
mint in America, and one OF the first
acts of the newly organized United
States was to provide for the erection
OF place at which coins of a definite
value bearing the stamp Of this coun.
try could be issued.
The question of the establishment
Of mint had been widely discussed
at least ten years before II was final
ly authorized. Robert Morris on Jan

plan for American coinage. and early

for a time being under consideration

Is, 1890. instructed the president to
establish mint and Secretary of the
Treasury Alexander Hamilton was d.

plan. This Mr.. Hamilton did at the
next session. and on the strength of
his report a United States mint was

Il viii be 30 years in December
since the death OF the woman who is
supposed TO have founded the collar
industry in Troy. N. Y. AS 10000 per
sons are engaged In making collars
and cuffs there. and as the city pro-
duces neatly nine-tenths OF the collars
and cuffs made In this country, It is
evident that the distinction OF start
ing the business Is considerable. II
seems that Orlando Montague. a Troy
shoe manufacturer. was scrupulously
neat. and that his wife found the labor
OF washing his shirts burdensome.
The shirts Of the time had the collars
and cuffs attached. as have many fine
shirts to-day. To avoid washing the
whole shirt when only the collar was
soiled. Mrs. Montague made detacha-
BILE linen bands tied round the neck
with tares. Under this arrangement
her husband could put on clean col
lar every morning and every evening
without compelling her to spend too
much time over the wash-tub Her
neighbors followed her example. and
the demand for such collars was so
great that a Hethouist minister. who
kept 3 notion store in town. soon en-
ployed several women to make thom.
while be peddled them from house to
house. Mr. Montague saw that the
business might be profitable, and
opened collar factory. where his
wife's invention was developed and ex-
plotted. Unlike many inventors. Mrs.

her husband. pronted BY her discov-

coinage, and bore on the diverse the
representation of a female, said to
have been the portrait of Martha
Washington. BY numismatists these

pattern coins. as the first regular de-
posit of silver bullion for coinage,
judging by the records, was not made
until July is, 1874.
The old mint building Is now owned
by Mr. Frank II. Stewart.
Mr. Stewart says that he expects to

a number of interesting coins will
come TO light. He Is particularly In

found to contain fine specimens Of
the early coinage. There is no obtain
