The gold production of the world for
1913 fell short of the record. 1t totaled
but $455, 900, 900, whereas the output

fell off to the amount of 81 100000.
Owing to its revolution Mexico was
short of its previous yield by approx
sely S5,OO0,OOO, but Canada ex-
ceeded its output of 1912 by So, 700, 900
and the product of British India
showed an increase of 81 100000.
In the gold producing states of the
United States Nevada led, the COM
mercial value of her ore reaching &c.
1913 ,239, and Montana followed next
with a yield amounting to $3.50, ,166.

EARY QUEEN OF SCOTS, having
M been dethronea by her own sub,
jects, and having fled to England
for refuge, remained confined at the wish
Of Queen Elizabeth for many years. All
during this time, however, it was claimed
that she had entered into rlots and con-
spira cies against Elizabeth, and many
opinions were brought Up as to what
was to be done with ner. soms thought
that no rigorous course should be pursued,
as she was i'll and would not live leng,
While others thought that she should
forthwith be put to death.
II was decided, however, to place her
OH trial; but upon what statute the lords
differed. Some thought she should be
tried under the statute of Edward III,
but others thought that the trial should
be conducted under the new act OF Eliza
beth After a long discussion of the
matter, II was carried tor the latter act,
as being made for that very purpose.
In the Indictment the commissioners
called her siEnply Mary, daughter OF
James V. King of Scots, and in part OF
the document named her as Queen. The
first meeting of these commissioners was
helo on October II, 1886, at Fotheringhay
astie. The following day Sir Walter
Mildmay was dispatched to Mary with a
letter from Queen Elizabeth to which
Mary replied: ut erievcs me much that
the Queen. my most dear sister, is sus-
picious of me; though 1 have given her
full and faithful notice of several dangers
that threatened her, yet has no credit
beer given to me, but l have been still
crdemned and slighted. though l be SO
nearly allied to her in blood"
On October IA the Queen was brought
to trial. In the courtroom after silence
had been proclaimed, the lord chancellor

neglect herself and her people, and out
of nc manner of malice of heart, appoint
&c these commissioners to hear such
things as shall be objected against you,
and how you can clear yourself of them,
and manifest your innocence to the
world"
The Queen thereupon stood up and said:

Control of some of the companies that
formerly made up the Standard Oil trust
has passed TO new owners, according to
report in New Yorks financial district
few days ago. 1t Is understood that eer-
tain members of 26 Broadway's "old
guard" have been sellers of stocks in the
various subsidiaries on the big boom in
prices that has attended the dealings in
these issues on the Broad street market.
1t is stated that among the large holders
who have been sellers of stocks have been
Colonel Payne, Charles NJ. Pratt and Z.
7. Bedford. In the opinion of certain
r1en who have made great fortunes out of
the Rockefeller properties, the enormous
enhancement in the values of the shares
OF the 81 subsidiaries that has taken place
since the dissolution of the oil combina-
tior has discounted a great deal that has
not yet materialized, and probably much
