More of the Good Times.

A New York dispatch says: 1.-THE
withdrawal of god from the subtreas-
ury by the presentation of legal ten
ders was foreseen by the adminstra-
tion and occasions no concern. Over
$4,000, 900 has already been demanded,
and it is calculated by Secretary Car
Isle that at least $40, O00,O 900 and prob
ably $l5, 600, OOO will be taken from the
gold reserve before the first payment
on the bonds is made. The terms Of
the sale provide for five stated pay
ments. The first payment will be due
when the sale is closed, and will net
the government about SO, 100000. BY
the time the second payment is due
Withdrawals of gold will have ceased,
and the treasury will begin to recoup
itself. The other payments will bring
the reserve up to the $l0O, 900, GOO mark.
This statement is made upon the best
of authority and with the assurance
from official sources that before the
bond sale was announced promises had
been received that gold other than
that held in the treasury would be
| paid for the bonds.

During the first two years of the
Mckinley law, wheat dropped from
$l.Oss to SO! cents. This was under a
Republican administration. When
Cleveland came in it kept on going
down and reached nearly it's lowest
point when the Mckinley bill was
still on the statute books, so that
three-fourths Of the decline was I'M
der tt Mckinley law. The tariff un-
der that law was ii cents. Where Is
the difference between $1.0S4 less the
tariff, and IS cents, the present price.

A short time ago hunter found. in
a patch of woods in Connecticut, eleven
large black snakes tied up in hard
knots and stone dead. Two telegraph
wires ran through the woods overhead,
and few days before there had been
a heavy blast set off in a quarry near
by. This broke down the wires, and
started a colony of black snakes from
their slumbers in neighboring ledge.
One of the wires was crossed in a dis
tant city by trolley wire and hence
the broken wires, which lay near the
snakes den, made death trap. When
the snakes came to the wires trailing
on the ground, one after another
crossed over them, touching the ends
of both wires at the same time. They
thus ''short circuited" them, and re-
ceived shock which caused death.
Immediately upon being shocked. each
snake curled up in a hard knot, thus
opening the circuit and setting the
trap again.-Golden Days.

Steps Taken to Prevent the Publication of
Secret Jury Room Proceedings.
CHICAGO, May 22.-The special grand
jury investigating alleged election
frauds has taken steps to prevent the
publication of secret jury room pro-
ceedings. A formal complaint charg-
ing unknown parties with having di-
vulged the secrets was made by one of
the grand jurors yesterday, and on that
complaint the city editors of the Even
ing Post and the Tribune and the re-
porters of these papers, who have been
assigned to report the grand jury, were
summoned as witnesses. This action
will raise, for the first time in this
county, the question whether commu-
nications made to the press are privi-
legged.
