GLADSTONE KISSED.
A Hostile Demonstration Against the

A Hostile Demonstration Against the
Premier at the Imperial Institute.
LONDON, May 17.-The reception
Of the Prince OF Wales at the In
perial Institute today was il every
way successful. The Duke Of York
END the Princess May were cheere:
repeatedly u the thousands Of
guests. Mr. Gladstone was pres
ent, looking tired and irritated, A
hostile demonstration was made by
some Of tbs ultra tories wnen he
appeared.
The demonstration was compare
lively mild at first, bat increased
rapidly il volume and insolence
Despite the fact that the prime min
lister was the guest Of the Prince of
Wales, he was received with storm
of hooting and Kissing Whenever
and wherever be was recognized.
! The Times regards the demon
| stration as ''lamerta5le fact" The
| event vas "regcetable," says the
Times, "because, after all, Mr.. Glad
stone was the guest of the Prince of
| Wales. The demonstration was not
organized, however, but was spon
taneous and irrepressable breach OF
the conventions OF society"
| The opinion almost universally
expressed tonight in London is
that the demonstration was not only
q disgraceful exhibition ofpartizan-
ship, but also direct insult to the
Prince Of Wales, with whom ths
Prime Minister had just dined a
! the institute il company with visi
tors from India It Is said that Mr
| Gladstone absented himself from
! the exercises at the opening of th'
institute in accordance with the ad
vice Of friends, who believed that j
he appeared he would be hooted.

Ehe Colony of sir Walter Raleigh.

Greensboro Record.
Edward Graham Dawes, Francis
White, William Shepherd Bryan, A.
Marshall Elliot, Bartlett S. Johnston
and Thomas J, Boykin have issued
circular to the people of North
Carolina who may be interested IL
reclaiming the spot where the col
ony of Sir Walter Raleigh landed
on Roanoke Island in 1854.
These gentlemen have procured
an option on about $50 acres of
land, including the most interest
ing historic remains Of this colony,
AID they wish to raise $1,000 in
shares Of $25 each to buy the
| grounds. Perhaps there is no place
in North Carolina which is more in
teresting than this spot, it being the
place where the first English col
ony ever put its foot upon American
soil. The sad fate of this colony
which was either exterminated O,
absorbed by the Indians in that vi
cinity is known to every reader O.
history This is the colony known
as "Sir Walter Rsleigh's Colony,
and in it the first white child wa
born on American soil Her nam,
WAS Virginia Dare, and for her tn
county is called, the county seat be
ing Manteo, named for the faithful
Indian chief, who was baptized il
the English church and given tn
the title Of "Lord Of Roanoke" tn
first title of nobility ever con
ferred upon an American.
It is to be hoped that our easter
friends will follow the good exam
pie Of the central portion Of tn
State, which has reclaimed the bal
tie field of Guilford Court Hous,
and they will be as liberal and a
patriotic as their fellow citizens i
other parts of the State. There ar

Anything About His Deed.


Who struck Billy Patterson? About
fifty years ago this was question
asked very frequently to illustrate
the unexpected defeat OF Il candidate

But who struck the blow was never
found out. An exchange processes

is the story:

the well-known conundrum. Mrs
Jennie G. Conely Of Athol, n. V,
says that her father, George w. Til
lerton, who lived at Franklin, Ga,
at that time, and who has long since
died, struck that historic blow. AS
related In "Notes for the Curious
last week, Patterson was a Baltimore
merchant, who had retired TO his es-
tate near GAINESVILLE, Ga, where he
became entanglci IN the famous broil
and received the blow which caused
him to repeat the question, "Who
struck Billy Patterson Being a
powerful man, with fist like a
sledge- hammer, Patterson searched
long and patiently for the man with
audaclty enough TO strike him, but
his search availod nothing. Tillerton
kept the secret from his own family
until the old man became SO persist
cnt In his efforts to discover the per-
petrator of the deed, even going so
far as to leave the country when he
feared the 81 900 reward would cause
some one TO reveal his identity TO
the enragCd Rilly. After the death
Of Patterson, Tillcrton refused 81
mention the affair, which was the
best course to pursue, as his friends
would doubtless have twitted him
with playing the ''livc sheep racket

General Conditions of Both.


General Conditions of Both.

producing states. The week was unusually
cold in the States OF the Upper Mississippi
and Missouri valleys, where the daily tenn
peraure ranged from 80 to l5o below the
normal and closed with freezing weather,
but the indications are for more favorable
conditions during the coming week in the
Northwest. 1t has been slightly cooler
,han usual on the Pacific coast.
The temperature was slightly below the
average from the lake region eastward,
while IL was warmer than usual generally
throughout the southern states east of the
Mississippi. Excessive rains occurred dur
ing the week over the central valleys, in
cluding the entire winttr-wheat region, tho
northern portion of the gulf states and in
the southern portion of the spring wheat
region. The rainfall was unus lal!y heavy
IN central Mississippi aud Ohio valleys, in
ierfering materially with farm work in the
principal agricultural states. Considerable
injury has resulted from floods and severe
local 81 orms throughout the west There
was also excessive moisture in the nor.hern
portion Of the cotton region, where the land
is too wet To work and fears are expressed
Of an overflow in lower Mississippi
Considerable acreage of oats and wheat Is
reported under wafer in Illinois. and the in
dications are that considerable injury TO
farming interests from high water win re-
suit in the lower Mississippi aud lower Ohio
valleys and in the lowlands near the river.
In Pennsylvania grain and grass have
coed colors, but have made little growth.
Large acreage OF potatoes and some corn
have been planted, but there are fears OF
both rotting.
In West Virginia wet weather has re-.
tarded powing and planting. Wheat, oats
progressing favorably and stock is in fair
condition.
In Ohio continued rains, have overlooked
streams and damaged crops badly on low
lands. Wheat, clover, barley, rye and to-
bacco plants have improved. but oats an0
potatoes are rotting in some localities.
