Little Johnny Bolts found a garter
snake in the park the other day, and he
brought it home and hid it in the piano.
When his sisters young man opened
the instrument that evening to play
"For Goodness Sake" he thought he

Johnny's innocence somehow, and his

disasters which are becoming 80 COM
mon Of late. This time the scene of
horror is on the other side of the At
lantic. The victims are 1856 Sunday
school children from to "A years of
age, who were crowded, pressed and
trampled to death in panic. Whole
households of little ones were swept
away in almost a moment without
warning. These too frequent terri.
ble catastrophes raise the question:
how those needless sacrifices of life
are to be avoided? They certainly
can be avoided and the attention Of

The Frank James Cases.

KANSAS CITY, June 19.-fhe Jour-
nal, of Gallatin, Mo-, says: The cases
against Frank James for murder, in
connection with the Gallatin bank
robbery, fourteen years ago, and the
Winston train robbery in 1881, were
called to-day, and on application of
the defense were continued until
August Goth. The defense asked the
continuance on the ground that their
witnesses might not be able to arrive
for several days on account of the
delay to travel by the freshets.
The States counsel was present with
Mrs. Sarah Hite and three other wit
nesses from Tennessee, whose pres
ence was evidently surprise to the
defense. Mrs. Hite was prepared to
testify to conversations among the
James boys and others at her house,
duplicating them. Dick Liddle was
also here for the prosecution. The
plea OF the defense for continuance
is generally regarded as simply an
excuse. The prisoner seems in ordi-
nary health, and the usual large
crowd was present eager for near
view of him.

INCREASE IN GOLD.

In speaking of the increase in the
production OF gold an exchange says:
1t is apparent that gold is again COM
ing to the front in volume of produc-
ton. For quite a number of years,
until the past two or three, the pre-
ponderance OF the silver product over
gold, in volume and value, has been
very great, ana it is that, mainly,
which has enabled the gold standard
people to prescribe for silver a depre-
ciated value as compared to gold.
But the recent very extensive dis
cove les of gold now promise at least
TO equal1ze that volume and value.
During the great California gold ex-
element, the .roduct of gold was so
largely in excess of silver it became
the cheaper, proportionately, Of the
two metals. silver bearing a premium
of three per cent. over gold-or rath-
er, gold was three per cent. below
silver; but the subsistence of the gold
product, and the enormous Increase
in the silver product, by reason Of
the Colorado, Montana, Nevada,
New Mexico and Arizona silver dis
cOver:es, turned the scales, and so re-
duced the value of silver, as COM
pared to gold, as to en- ,ble for time
the decentralization of that metal:
But the scales are again turning and
silver is again becoming, in fact, as
it should be, and as it was practically
made by the original coinage law of
the country, the actual standard of
values, in which even the value of
our gold coin is computed.
One of the later discoveries in gold
is that the gold belt in Georgia ex-
tends from Virginia and North Caro-
lima to Florida and Alabama. It's
from 12O to l4O miles wide. Thou
sands of people support themselves
by working in the mines. In one
place alone in Lumpkin county,
twenty-six stamp mills are working,
each Of which employs from five to
fifty men. Some of these gold mines
have been worked for years, and in
places the earth is dug away sixty
feet. Some of it is very rich in ore.
-Four hundred acres were sold some
time ago for $5,0O0,OoO to English
capitalists.
The gold mines of Dakota, Mon
tana Alaska, New Mexico and Ari-
zona, are beginning to show develop
ment that promise important yields,
Old Mexico, too, is coming forward
with important gold discoveries and
developments to add to the renewed
stock of gold. There is little proba-
bility that the appearance of superior
value will much longer afford an ar
gu:nent for the displacement of sill
yer as the actual standard of values,
here or elsewhere.
