CAPTAIN KIDD'S GOLD.
It Is Again Being Sought For on
Long Island Shore.

New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch:
The ordinary, peaceful quiet of the
Long Island shore between Astoria
and North Beach. generally undis-
turbed save by the breakers of the At
lantic. is subject TO intermittent at
tacks of treasure hunting fever Ever
since the notorious Captain Kidd, dear
to the heart of every school boy, paid
the extreme penalty of his piracies in
1901, tales have been told of a vast
treasure hidden away somewhere on
the beach above mentioned. The stories
are revived from time to time, and al
the inhabitants go daft on treasure
trove for a while, to the profit of the
dealers in spades. and no one else. The
accidental discovery of some old coins
in excavating for a bathing place has
lust brought on another attack, and
digging is now more popular there as
an exercise than bicycling ever was
elsewhere. Inasmuch, however, as the
coins found, so far as they are deciph-
cradle, range in date from 1920 TO the
18th century. and are mostly of small
intrinsic value, it is not quite clear
what connection they can have with
Captain Kidd. unless he is supposed to
have intended to start a numismatic
collection with the proceeds of his rob-
berries. But in that case he would
hardly have been far-sighted enough TO
bury what could have little value with
out the unearned decrement of CEN
turtles.
