THE GOLD QUESTION.

There are over $780, 10000 in gold
in America. France alone has as largo
stock of gold. Since the resumption
OF specie payments in 1875 Italy and
Russia have gone on gold basis, and
Austria is now endeavoring to do SO.
Naturally the drain of gold will be
from that nation which can mo 1t readily
spare it, and that nation is America.
With the balance OF trade heavily
sgainst America, the silver scare having
its worst effect and the over-liberal
attitude Of the treasury, gold will flow
out for another month according to the
views OF the best fnanciers.
The action Of the Treasury depart
ment is highly honorable, but it is too
easy for the seekers after gold to get
it. In tho first place the gov rnment
should only redeem its notes at Wash
ington. The Bank of England throws
several distractions in the way OF peo-
pie who wish to cash its notes. The
TIMEs is informed that the holder OF a
Bank of England note mus. be identi-
ed before it will be redeemed at the
Threadneedle stree insttu ton.
Gold is shipped abroad when it pays to
ship it. and il it were more convenient
10 get it from some New York bank
than from the sub-treasury in New
York the bank would have to give it
up. The New York banks hold over
s7o,00o,0 coo OF gold, yet they allow the
Treasury reserve to be cut down rather
than yield up their hoard. Surprising
concerted movement was made on
them to redeem their outstanding notes
they might better appreciate the posi-
ton of the Treasury.
Next the issue OF silver certificates
and coin certificates in large denomina-
tions is proving mistake as it enables
the New York gold brokers to more
readily shove them into the subtreasury
for gold. It is further mistake not
only for the United States but for all
nations to coin gold in low denomina-
tons. Gold would more readily keep
in bank and treasury reserves If none
were coined OF less value than twenty
dollars. Gold would best serve its pur.
pose il its use could DO confined strictly
TO the settlement of international bal
ances.
But the United States ought to be
able to lose hundred millions of gold
and still be in no serious danger OF fall
ing to a silver basis.

A Patriotic Example.

From the Baltimors sun.
The bankers OF Roanoke, Va yester.
day gave an example of patriotism
worthy Of commentator and imita-
ton. They photographed Secretary OF tho
Treasury Carlisle, commencing his ef-
forts to sustain the credit OF the country,
and offering all the gold in theic vaults,
aggregating about 100000 in exchange
for United States Treasury notes. Mr..
Carlisle's answer indicates his &C.
ceptance Of the patriotic offer. Ten
years ago Roanoke was struggling
village. Now it is busting, manu-.
featuring and business city, with q pop
ulation OF $4,000 people, with admir-.
ably conducted banking institutions.

Roanoke Dogs.

Jos. d. Smith in the Sunny South.
Roanoke has some very wonderful
dogs, that is, in the estimation OF their
owners. The Vigilant Fire Company is
the possessor of very fine Shepherd
dog which is credited with counting the
number OF every fire alarm, and bark
ing it over after the bell has ceased
investigation somewhat reduces his
talents, which consists of barking
whenever the gong sounds, or if call
is made over the telephone, and the
firemen are upstairs, in barking until it
is answered, or some attention paid TO
the call.
MACK" is pretty little Water
Spaniel, and very sagacious dog. He
is the property Of Mr.. r. A Buckner,
agent Of the Southern Expire SIS COMPANY
in this city. The other day he was
carrying newspaper home for his
master, and while crossing tho street
had misunderstanding with another of
his four footed friends. Walking back
onto the lot be laid down his paper and

his owner, who was watching him, eX-
pec.ed to see him walk eff and forget
the paper, but he did not, and, walking

for him, he would be the eighth wonder
OF the world. Lately he has been
credited with writing some of their very

far as to be burnt, have the hose

A Woman Entombed Before Life Was
Extinct.
HAzLEToN pa, July 2.-One year ago
Charles Bower of Morrison was married.
Nine months later he was widower. He
became crazed with grief eventually, and
his at1liction produced dementia. which
was pronounced incurable. He raved
continually about his wife, and enter
tanned the idea that she had been foullv
dealt with
So strongly did he belive in this that
his friends decided to disinter her body.
They did so, and the body was found
face downward, and all evidence which
goes to show that the woman had been
buried alive was plainly evident. The
glass in the lid of the coffin was broken
to atoms. The shroud enveloping the
form was torn to shreds, the limbs were
twisted and distorted, the hair matted.
and in her hand she clenched a bunch OF
it.
Those who were engaged in disinter-
ring the body fell back entirely over
come. The most composed man in the
party was the Gemented husband. He
assumed an air of complacency and as
sisted in the work of rearranging the
body.
He has shown no signs of mentel aber-
ration since, and from all appearances
his mental powers have been restored.

Dedicated ut Gettysburg by Veterans
of the Late War.
GETTYSBURG (Pa.), July 2. - Seven
thousand New York veterans, the Gov
ernors of New York and Pennsylvania,
and thousands of visitors from other
States were present to-day at the dedica-
ton of the New York State monument to
persons who fell in this field thirty years
ago.
Mr.. Severson of the One Hundred and
Thirty-seventh New York, opened pro-
ceedings with prayer.
Addresses We're made by Maior-G
eral Slocum, General Greene and General
Sickles.
At the afternoon ceremonies Rev. W.
3. Derrick, veteran colored preacher,
offered prayer. General Sickles delivered
the Introductory address, and Bishop
Potter delivered the dedication address.
Governors Pattison and Flower also
spoke.
General Sickles, in his address, said the
time had come when this battlefield
should belong to the Government. It
should be made a national park, and
placed in charge Of the War Department.
Its Typographical features, which had not
yet been destroyed by vandals, who are
even now detacing it, must hereafter re-
main unimpaired. The General said he
should advocate an Act of Congress for
these purposes, and to establish a military
post at Gettysburg, to be garrisoned by
one company Of artillery, to the end that
a morning and evening gun may forever
salute the flag and Union of the United
States, which was so heroically defended
on this historic ground.

Crop Enormous.
New YORK, July 2.-The World will
publish tomorrow detailed report of
the condition of July crops in Western
and Northwestern States, the Pacific
Coast, Canada and Manitoba. The sum-
mary indicates that the wheat crop will
be much below the average. The corn
crop is enormous, and if the weather con-
ditions continue good, will probably be
the largest ever raised. The acreage Of
oats, barley, rye and similar grains has
been increased, and the crop will be large.
The hay crop is above the average. The
fruit crop is generally poor, and in many
cases total failure.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2-Sickness and
family troubles were the causes that led
to the suicide yesterday afternoon, at
20l6 Geary street, of Mrs. Marie Conradt,
wife of DR.. julius H. Conradt, who for
thirty years has occupied offices at S2l
kearney street. Mrs. Conradt had been
suffering from an atliiction Of the brain
for the past two months and her illness
caused her to be very Respondent. Yes
terday morning her fitteen-year-old
daughter went to the bedroom for her
mother and found the room filled with
gas. The gas had evidently been turned
on but short time as Mrs. Conradt was
fully conscious and when asked tor an
explanation gave some trivial excuse and
laughed the matter off. No importance
was attached to the circumstance and
affairs went on in the usual manner.
About $50 o'clock in the afternoon the
daughter, Emma, again missed her
mother, and going to the bedroom at
tempted to open the door. The girl could
only push the door open far enough to
see that her mother was lying on the floor
inside. Becoming alarmed, she ran
across the street to the house of Mrs.
White, and told that lady that her mother
was dead. Investigation showed that
Mrs. Conradt had tied a towel around her
neck, and then fastening it to the door
knob, had thrown her weight on the loop
and strangled herself. A doctor was
summoned, but he could do nothing, as
death had probably occurred half an hour
before the body was discovered.

Governor Altgeld Rather Severely
Scored.
CHICAGO, July 2.-Governor Altgeld
was rather severely scored at the patri-
otto Sunday exercises at the Worlds Fair
grounds this afternoon for his recent
action in pardoning the anarchists. The
services were conducted in festival hall
under the auspices of the regular Army
and Navy Union. About thousand peo-
pie were in attendance. Commander J.
NJ. Campbell, in his address, said sit is
eminently fitting that the union should
observe the patriotic Sunday to-day, be-
cause the Chief Executive OF this State
has recently shown that he would be
willing to supplant the flag of freedom
with the red flag of anarchy"
At this point the audience burst into a
long round of applause. The Com
mander made no other reference to the
Governor or pardon, and at the conclu-
sion of his address the choir sang
Nearer, My God, to Thee" Then a
huge American flag which hung behind
| the speakers stand was drawn aside. and
there upon the wall hung the union Jack
draped in Grape, in memory Of the un-
fortunate English ship Victoria. A sailor,
in the uniform of the United States navy,
stepped forward and hung laurel wreath
above the flag, while the bugles sounded
taps.
The weather to-day was all that could
| be desired, with the exception of slight
shower in the afternoon. There was a
total attendance of 4,639, of which A., ,754
| were paid.
