RICHMOND'S CHARITY BOARD. Richmond's charity board la all right. They may be a little extrava gant in the salary account aud the ex pense account, but that can and will be remedied one day. But the politicians are working the charity board discussion for all that It Is worth. And Incidentally they are working the charity board in the same Interest. The politician circulates It among the needy poor that the rich people are trying to cut down the charity fund. The truth of the matter Is the tax payers are trying to choke off the greedy politician who probably not so much in the charity fund as In other public funds Is getting rich at the ex pense of the people. Let the charity fund go to charity | rnd not to a salary and expense ac count. Baseball Is the only thing a woman will ever admit that she docs not un derstand.

Dr. Arnory Coffin’s Letter. Having aeon fhla letter from the Prince, Dr Amory Coffin, then prnc lielng medicine at Aiken, sent tire fol lowing letter to Prince Bismarck: Aiken, S C., rutted State*. 9th September, I*?s.—Dear Prlnre and Old Friend I hwr* seen in the newspaper* of the l*«t day or two a reprint of your le*fer* to Col Muekle fn Which the name* of yoar old companion# at the university are set kindly mention- J "I was so surprised and gratified to tlnj that after such an eventful life— xdch a brilliant career-tn which you have risen to the foremost place of the age, you should *llll remember those nodes eenaque deorum. and more espe cially that fourth of July of that f could not resist the temptation of writing yon nnd acknowledging the pleasure 1 received from It. ‘ After 43 years, we, oil of us. are still alive, with generation* to succeed us.

But we went to work In our old days with n good deal of pluck and manage to g«t along In the world. “I am sorry to tlud you talking of a support for your declining years.

I It was at the fourth of July supper alluded to that a famous bet was made |t*tw..n Blstnarrfc and Dr. C-'ffin The | Prince stated his la-llef that within 30 year# from that night Germany would ! t.e united. Dr. Coffin did not think 00. I The college boy# staked a wager, each , j supporting hla opinion on German uni ty. Tho stake waa a doaen bottle# of ! ! wine, the loaer to cross the ocean and drink with the winner. That this bet was made is a historical fact, and has been glluded to In German publication* of authenticity. The German statesman lost the wager and I* known to have regretted bis sup posed inability to pay the forfeit. He had lost sight of Dr. Coffin—in fact, had heard that the doctor wa* dead. The Prince said at the time that he recall ed that nt college the doctor was of delicate frame and build, and It was easy to belie we thst his former friend had been gathered to his fathers. Uowever, at the time. Dr. Coffin was alive nnd well and at Aiken, he having lived till ISS4. Insomuch as It authen tically stated that the Prince publicly said that hud he the opportunity to do so he would cross the ocean and render the Ibrfeit, tt Is a matter of com ment that no allusion was made t« the famous bet In the letters of 1575, for the bet was lost in 1852. Copt. Coffin says that his father was of reticent disposition and did not, to any extent, discuss to his family the incidents of his college life in Germany. Amory Coffin was bokn at St. Hele na Island, on the South'Carolina coast. After hie studies in Germany and France, ho returned to his native coun try when he was 20 years of age. As stated he died In 1884. He was slightly older than Prince Bismarck. Allusion to the Bet. I find in one of the Boston papers of this week alusion to the bet told of. Writing of Bismarck's friendship with John Lothrop Motley. It is printed: ‘‘But that all his friends were not fighting roisterers Is made evident by the fact that o.ne of the most intimate !of them was our own John Lothrop I Motley. Moreover nt Goettingen and at ; Berlin, w here they were still mor e in- I tlmate/ being fellow lodgers in that same Fredertckstrasfie where Bismarck [afterwards had his official residence, they had a common admiration of | Goethe, Byron and Shakespeare. ) “At Goettingen.

After the provisional union of the Frankfort diet Bismarck thought of coming to Amer ica to collect the la*:, but he found bis man was dead. ‘He bad Just the sort of name/ explained the chancel lor.
