MARYLAND Lotteries.

A Baltimore man interested in anti
0uarian research made a collection or
old lottery tickets which gives interest
ing testimony as to the development
Of public morals. Most of the tickets
were given out by Maryland lotteries,
but quite as large collection could
undoubtedly be made In other states
Four of the tickets are in the Wash
ington monument lottery, which was
authorized by the Legislature and was
not given up until 1924. AS early as
1853 lottery was advertised to build
a wharf. The drawing took place April
80, 1854. Ten years later one was uhs
dartaken to build a market house IN
tBaitimore Town" and for buying
two fire engines and a parcel Of leather
buckets" In 1882 a yearly lottery
was authorized to aid the city ex-
penses. Other objects for which
money was raised in this way We're
parsonages, church bells, circulating
libraries and gristmills.

Washington Nickel New Col"

It's learned on good authority that dies
have been prepared by the engravers of
the United States Min, in this city for
a proposed United States five-cent piece
bearing the head of &c orge W ashington
to take the place of the nickels now
in circulation
1t cannot be said yet whether the
Government will adopt this coin or not.
Many hundred dies have been made for
coins never accepted, but if this port ait
coin follows the new Liucoln penny il
will be the fist coin in actual authoriz-
ed circulation to carry the bead of
Washington. Yet several pattern coins
bearing it have been circulated.
Washington himself refused to allow
such a coin to be issued during his life
time. He said it " as "monarchicap
custom, not fitting in republic.
Yet his head has adorned pattern
coins issued in small numbers, never
adopted fiiciaily since 1888, when some
5000 to 10000 by well.known design
er named Wyon were struck off AS
late as 1868 pattern for a tWo-cent
bearing his head was made, and in
1865 series OF pattern fye-cent piece
with his head upon them was designed
but never circulated.
This particular coin has been design
ed either by Engrayer Morgan or Bar
Der, of the mint. Specimens to be
struck soon will be submitted to the
Treasury Department in Washin gton.
The adoption Of the coin rests wth-the
Treasuary Department.
