THE GOLD STANDARD.

England. In 1916. Was the First of
thu Nations to Adopt II.
The first nation to adopt the gold
standard was Englan!. She adopted
the gold standard nominally in 1916,
but practically not until three years
later, for in 1916 England was ON the
paper basis. Germany. which adopted
the single silver standard in 1857, took
steps toward the establishment of the
gold standard in 1871, but it was not
until July, 1873, that she demonetiZed
silver, undertook to melt down her sill
YER coin, sell it for gold and establish
the single gold standard. The Scandi-
navian nations adopted the single gold
standard mt the same time. In Septem-
ber, 1873, France restricted the free
coinage of silver and three years later
entirely suspended such coinage, but
has never undertaken to discard the
silver coin she has in use or TO treat it
otherwise than as on an equality with
gold. The action of France in restrict
ing and then suspendng the coinage
of silver on private account was fol-
lowed by the other nations of the Latin
union-Belgilm Switzerland, Italy and
Greece-and Spain suspended the coin
age of silver in 1878. Holland. which
had established the single silver stand
ara in place of the bimetallic standard
in 1S47, suspended the coinage of silver
in 1872 and opened her mints to the
coinage of gold on private account in

BLACK FRIDAY.
The Mad Scene In the Gold Room -
That Fateful Occasion.


In the middle of the gold room was
small fountain. Around this the days
proceedings began, writes L. Hendrick
in the American Magazine. Jay Gould's
own brokers, pale, haggard, half dis
trustful and half ashamed of their
work, started the bids. Gold had closed
the day previously at IA. Now a
Gould broker offered 145 for 100000
gold
His only response were the curses
and fist shakings of bedraggled, per-
spring crowd.
zone hundred aud forty-six for $780,
600 gold"
Still there was no response.
"One hundred and forty-seven."
Each advancing point meant millions
in profits to Gould and likewise mil
lions in losses to the community. At
every advance the crowds, losing all
restraint, alternately roared and wept.
"One hundred and forty eight"
"One hundred and forty-nine."
Above the pandcmonium the monot-
onous voices of the Gould brokers could
be heard, quietly, remorselessly putting
up the price.
"One hundred and fifty"
"One hundred and fifty-one."
At this point the buying began. Hith-
erto the crowd had been held magical
ly spellbound. The audacity of the
Gould brokers had paralyZed all Board
brokers were particularly da2ed. In
face of the cique's demonstrated pow
er no one seemed able to bid, even to
| make the fecblest attempt to check the
| terrible rise.
A few uptown merchants now, how
ever, started to purchase. Soon the
bidding degeneratcd into panic. Ev-
| cry one scrambled to get his gold
now while the price, julged by what
had already happened and the unques-
| toned power of the gang. seemed low.
All purchases, however, meant enor-
| nous losses.
Fortunes accumulated through years
| of self sacrificing toll We're swept away
| in a moment In their craze men ran
| aimlessly about the room, moaning,
screaming, vainly appealing for help.
outside, where the crowds breathlessly
waited announcements, the same scenes
were repeated. Ruined men, unable to
| get into the building itself, pushed,
cursed and fought. At each rise In the
| price the rage against Gould increased.
When the bid reached $50 there were
| cries of Lynch! Lynch"
And meanwhile what was the plotter
of all this mischief doing? He was
| selling gold To whom was he selling?
To Fisk and all his own associates. He
was the only man who really under
stood the situution-who knew, that Is,
upon what tiimsy basis his corner"
rested. He sent Fisk, Belden and
| Spcyer into the gold room to advance
the price ostensibly for the benefit Of
the clique and when it had reached a
certain point unloaded on his own ac-
| count. He had sold largely, unknown
to his confederates, the day before.

The sea otter is nearly twice the size
of the common river otter, and the fur,
without finishing or preparation of any
kind, is more beautiful as 1t is stripped
from the animal than the richest seal
skin, which has to be scraped, plucked
of the long upper hairs and then dyed
before 1t could be recognized as the
beautiful object which the finished fur
undoubtedly is. In the sea otter's fur
the soft undercoat, the true fur, is as
thick as that of the seal ana nearly
twice as long, while the long outer
hairs are as soft as a sable's tail and
often pale gray. which gives to the
whole coat an appearance as Of dark
fur slightly frosted over

The Romans had no flower shows.
There were bread and circuses," but
not bread and flowers. The luxurious
Roman used roses in enormous quanti-
ties at his banquets. 1t was fine joke
to have roses fall from above ON guests
reclining at their tables and the flow
ers in such quantities as to smother
them. A writer recalls picture of Al
ma-Tadema's "The Rose Feast of
Elagabalus," which shows the super
abundance of roses. To spend on a
banquet in roses 100000 sesterces,
equivalent to about $160,000, is record
ed by Suetonius, but possibly SuetOnius
exaggerates.

Those curious twists and turns super
stitions take are to be found in the in
PRODUCTION of horses skulls in or about
the church buildings in England and
Scotland, the reason alleged being to
help the sound I'm church. This habit is
unquestionably relic Of heathcnism
where an animal was sacrificed. Some
years ago, when an old meeting house
in Edinburgh was pulled down, the
sounding board space above the pulpit
vas found to be filed with horses
skulls. In some parts of England there
still exists the idea that If horses
head is buried in field there will be
an echo.

Mr.. Bells aviary presented pretty
evidence of mutual confidence among
birds. A pair of Java sparrows lived
in a compartment with bleeding
heart pigeon. The latter fell in love
with them and at night always cuddled
a sparrow under each wing. When
seen by the light Of lantern the
pigeon seemed to be cuddling two ba-
bies, one under each wing, from which
the cheerful countenances Of the little
sparrows looked with blinking eyes

The secret CT success in society is a
certain heartiness and sympathy. A
man who is not happy in company can
not find any word in his memory that
will fit the occasion. All his informal
tion is little impertinent. A man
who is happy there finds in every turn
of the conversation occasions for the
introduction OF what he has to say.
The favorites of society are able men
and of more spirit than wit, who have
no uncomfortable egotism, but who ex-
actly fill the hour and company, con-
tented and contenting-Emerson

Hereditary Names.

According to the invariable.c customso of
the Duke Of Rlchmond's family, 1t is
prescribed that the eldest son and the
eldest son of the eldest son shall be
named after King Charles H., to whom
they owe so much. The same principle
is preserved in Lord Salisbury's family,
where the eldest sons are named James,
after James l., who bestowed the earl
dom of Salisbury and viscounty Of
Cranborne ON the original founder of
the house.-London Graphic.

A JOLLY LOT
OF FISHERMEN

\ Jolly lot Of fishermen went ont
to the mouth Of Coburn's creek last
night and spent several hours along
the banks Of the West Fork and
waded 10 their hearts content. They
had a rare TING, one Of much enjoy
ment, for they did: NOT expect to
catch any fisrsGhy way, as they did
not 60 especially for that purpose.
The idea was TO spend tic evening
''out," and they did with per-
feet satisfaction to themselves at
least. They did manage TO hook
or gig three little ones of the fnny
tribe and they claim they caught
one frog. They appear not to have
had the right sort ofbait to bring a
string home. The members Of the
party we're DR.. C. W. Halterman.
L. c. Grille, DR.. John S. Stone and
DR.. George c. Stone. Dale Dean

JUDGE MASON
FOR GOVERNOR

Morgantown, W. Va, May "a
There is strong sentiment among
Monongalia county Republicans in
favor Of Judge John W. Mason. Of
Fairmont, for the Republican guber-
material nomination. 1t is said
that Judge Mason can be persuaded
to allow his name to be used in this
connection if sufficient influence is
brought tot bear on him.
A prominent attorney, speaking
of the movement, said:
81 am for Judge Mason out and
out, but his election would be robb-
ing the circuit court bench of its
best judge and that is saving a good
deal when you go over the roll of
names Of the able men on the bench.
But it will be hard to find anywhere
in the political woods better stick
of timber out of which ia make a
great governor and it will take a
good one to step into the shoes Of
the executive We have now and fill
them with credit"
The 0Iorgantown Post comes out
strongly in an editorial and says;
'It seems a little hard to rob the
bench but the Republican party is
bound to have a stick Of its vey
tallcst and straightest timber for use
in the next campaign and it will be
hard to find a man anywhere in
West Virginia who would fill out the
folds Of the gubernatorial garment
in more ample fashion than Judge
John W. Mason. Of Marion county" +"
Judge Mason was born in Monon-
gala county and it is appropriate
that a boom for his nomination
should start from his native county.
