FOUND GOLD AND SILVER.
Gold Coins and silver Bricks Turned
Up on Long Island.

From the Philadelphia Press
New York, May 19-John Peterson found
treasure ten days ago. He was digging
a cistern in the yard of Postmaster Wells
of Batting Hollow, on Long Island, when
he dug up a box of gold. Rudolph Kuoos
his helper saw the gold, but Peterson
would not let him examine it and made
off to hide the box When he came back
he refused tn answer any questions, even
to Postmaster Wells.
Later, Bernard Ford. a farmer living
two miles away, found treasure Post
master Wells went to investigate. The
farmer had picked up a number of coins
and some silver bricks. The bricks were
rudely moulded, six by three and one
half inches in size. The mould was evil
IDENTIFY clay, and the metal is by no means
pure The coins were English and Span
ish, some gold and some silver. The ear
Hest date decipherable was 1903.
This proved that they were not Kids
treasures, but Postmaster Wells still
maintains that the silver bricks are real
ly a part of the old pirates booty. The
bricks were found in the same field as
the coins, but had evidently been buried
subsequently and separately and at
different time. Fresh Pond Meadow is
being spaded over now, and the region
around Money Rock, the gigantic boul-
der as big as a city building, is being
serached. Some folks think that il the
rock could be moved the Kidd treasure
would be found. All the farmers are
blowing and they keep their eyes on the
freshly turned earth Not a man in all
the Hollow stubs his toe without turn
ing back to see if he unearthed any mon
ey. Much searching is being done on the
quiet.
On Wednesday last. for the first time
in the history of Yale University, a noted
athelete .oeared as a lecturer The
speaker was Sandow, who was introduced
by Prof. ". 9. Anderson, instructor In
physical culture at Yale, and who gave a
decidedly interesting and prohtabie dis
course on the scientific Development Of the
human body.

CONTEMPT COURT,

From the Winston Sentinel we take
the following:
The Court of appeals of New York
has decided "that the power of pun
lshment for contempt Of court extends
only TO acts committed in the pres
enCe of the court itself or to disobe-
dience Of the lnjunctions or orders Of
the court beyond its presence
We agree with the Charlotte or
ser1Fr in commencing "this decision
to some of the gentlemen who have
lately been elevated to the bench in
North Carolina" The Observer re-
marks, further:
''ln one case i'll this State iudg-
ment for contempt has been entered
against newspaper for respectful crit
lcIsm oil the court on account of the
removal OF a case from one county to
another, and III another case an editor
has been threatened with contempt
proceedings for committing the very
slightest lnaccurracy in his report of
the disposition of Il case. In neither
case was the legality of the proceeding
or the Integrity of the Judge called into
question. If the preceding in either
case should pass into precedent the
voice OF the press rs to any action of
court would be sienced and there
would be nothing between the people
and judicial tyranny.

GOOD ADVICE.

Commenting on the suggestion
made at meeting of colored men in
Boston that cit might be necessary to
resort to the flaming brand or the
sword" to stop the lynching of assail-
ants of Southern women, the New
York E1cntng Pest makes an observa-
ton OF practical character to further
the end the Boston patriots have in
view. "The most effective way to stop
the lynching of negroes for atrocious
crimes, says our contemporary, "is
tor negroes to stop committing such
crimes" That would be a good begin
ming. The right of assaulting women
is not SO valuable that it should be re-
tanned at all hazards. The persons
whose acts provoke the lynchings are
the men to be first argued with. "The
next step" as the Post we'll says, sis
to arouse the whites of the south to the
dangers to society involved in a grow
ing readiness to relapse to the bar
barous practice ofeNecution by mob. "
There are signs Of increased interest in
this view ofthe matter Sun.

says Harper's Round Table for December

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Although the paper is dated the
10th, we issue it the day before Christ
mas this week in order to give the
Office force an opportunity to enter
into the spirit of the occasion. This
being so the following article from the
Germantown pa Mdrbenaentis both
timely and scasonable, and is so good
that we accord it space:
In this season Of general merry
making and gift giving, when the
home is garlanded in the green, and
laughter and good cheer make 1t hap
ny bedlam, who is cold enough to for
get that he was once a child; and 10
call the little ones to ordcI1 There IS
something about the Christmas icstl-
val that makes those around US nearer
and dearer to US, and swakens within
US charity that is akin to love and
kindness. There are 50 many ways OF
making those around us happy and
tightening burdens that are weighing
down many weary souls. Don't fail
10 remember that on the birthday Of
the Lowly Nazarene there are those
who are wanting even the necessarleS
of life, whose homes may be made
bright and whose children may be
made happy by very small amount
ffha
bright days that come SO seldom to
many that remove the clouds and sor-
rows for little time at least.
Don't think that it is the expensive
gift or the money which we hand over
10 our friends that count the most at
this festal season, but rather the ten
der feelings and kindness that 60 the
furthest and keep fresh and green the
Joyous custom of gift giving at Christ
mas time.
Don't forget that the happy Christ
mas time opens way of approach to
many deserving families, who would
not accept charity though they were in
dire necessity. A barrel of -four, ham
or turkey, the comfortable dress for
the mother, or the much needed outfit
for the baby-these and many others
may be sent under the guise ola Christ
