Mr.. Booths Condition.
, Southern Associated Press.

BY Southern Associated TESS.
New York, June 5.-Doctor st.
Clair Smith, Edwin Booths physi-
clan, issued the following bulletin
at $50 o'clock this morning:
II have seen no improvement du-
ring the night. (Signed),
ST. CLAIR SMITH, NJ. D.
Pressed for more definite informa-
ton, regarding the great actors
condition, DR.. Smith said: "Well 1
cannot add anything to the bulletin
issued at S o'clock last evening say
ing that my patient was growing
weaker, and that now there is no
hope of even a partial recovery. His
condition is very critical this morn
ing. I cannot state it any stronger
than that I am obliged to leave him
now for while but return as soon
as possible as I deem my presence
necessary now constantly at the
sick mans bedside. Booth rallied
from the relapse of week ago Sat
urday until last Saturday, when he
| grew worse again suddenly. BE
was attacked with an exhausting I'll
of vomiting during which it was
thought he would suffocate. DR.
Smith was hastily summoned, but
despite his best effort Booth grew
weaker e I'd weaker. Fault has beer
found, it is said, with DR.. Smith be
fore for giving news of his patient
relapses to newspaper men by Mr.
and Mrs. Crcssman, so this time h.
gave no hint Of the actors danger
Gus condition to any one, not ever
the employees of the club, until b
felt last night that the end was a
hand and so issued the alarrain,
bulletin.
After posting the notice he lef
the club for time, but returned a
IL p. n. and made arrangements 70
spending the night there. Super
intendent McGunigle, Booths broth
erin law, sat up at the dying actor
bedside with a trained nurse an
physician Booth seemed to sufe
greatly from the want Of air. II
breathed in gasps and the three win
dows in his room were opened at to
and bottom and the curtains draw
aside to admit as much oxygen a
possible. About 2 q. N. he fell int
a troubled slumber. DR.. Smith the
retired until s q. NJ. when he wer
directly to Booths room and RI
NAMED with him more than 8
hour. Then he posted the bulleti
and left the club.

In the revival Of interest in such
matters, which is now going on al
over the country, North Caroline
should take part. Whatever there
is that will tend to an awakning o.

The Borden Trial Begun.
BY Southern Associated Press.

NEwBEDFoRD, Nass, June 6-The
long anticipated Borden murder
trial has begun. At an early hour
this morning every available shady
spot on County street near the
court house was pre-empted and
patiently the sitters and ISLANDERS
waited until the bell on the court
house tolled, siguifying the openin 6
of court. At precisely 1858 Miss
Lizzie 4. Borden, the prisoner, came
slowly into the court room end was
shown to her seat ii the dock. She
was at'ired in very becoming COS
tune Of black brocaded stuff and
wore pretty shade bat, relieved By
touch here of blue. Every seat
in the room was occupied by tales
men and newspaper men, no out
siaers being admitted up to that
time, and within the box enclosure
were few Of the prominent men Of
the county who had been accorded
seats by courtesy.

THE President has returned from
his fishing expedition, during the

had leisure to do como quiet think

A Failure in Chicago.
By Southern Associated Press.


CHICAGO, June 1.-THE property
of G. A. Weisebach, clothing and
shoe merchant, at 18th Halstead
street and 228 and 230 Milwaukee
avenue, was seized by the sheriff
this morning upon a judgment OF
confessed liabilities of $4,000,
nearly all for borrowed money; as
sets $4,000. The failure is said to
have been precipitated by the as
signment Of banker Herman Schaff-
| ner, who is mysteriously missing.
There was a remarkable scramble
by creditors to see who would gee
in first on the assets. Judge McCon-
nell was awakened at midnight to
receive the entry Of TIE Judgment,
but an alert lawyer who did this
found himself after a wild ride in a
cab forestalled by q competitor who
had obtained quicker possession OF
one Of the Weisenbach's stores On
the bill of sale.
E. A. Armstrong & Co., dealers in
uniforms, made a voluntary sign
ment this morning. The assets are
stated to be $275,000; liabilities
| $105,OO0. The firm for twenty
years has been a manufacturer sno
dealer in uniforms, regalia, society
and church goods in this city eri
in Detroit. The assignment wa:
precipitated by an attachment sui
fled in the Superior Court by 3
Sawyer for $4,000 for a merchan
disc claim. In the absence of th'
members Of the firm Saturda.
evening, the sheriff took possession
Of the store end held it till thi
morning, when an attachment sui
was satisfied, and q stipulation t.
that effect filed in the Supsrio
Court. News Of the fling Of til
suit had gone abroad and attach
ments were threatened from al
their creditors. To avoid that coz
tingency and to save themselves an
! all their creditors they made vol
untary assignment, which they ez
pect will be temporary only.

some three miles south of Creed

saw nothing when the fast train
went over the road yesterday eve

some the man was murdered and
put on the track to cover up the
crime. Nothing definite can be
learned however.
Judge Shuford's court adjourned
Saturday night after dischaging the
jury in the Rowland case which
failed to agree because Jim Wat

THE UNIVERSITY COMMENCE-
MENE.

Opened on Sunday With Eaccalaureate
Sermon by DIR. r. d. Swindell.
CHAPEL HILL, June s. Special
The Commencement exercises began
yesterday with the Baccalaureate
sermon by Rev. F. D. SwindelI,
Presiding Elder Of the New Berne
District, who preached at II a. NJ !,
in Gerard Hall . large audience
of students, visitors and country
people. His text was Romans End
chapter, 6 and 7 verses: "Who will
render to every man according to
his Decd" "To these who by patient
continuance in well doing seek for
glory and honor and Immortality,
eternal life"
He spoke without manuscript,
easily, clearly, forcibly and eloquent
ly. The ministers of the village
churches sat on the rostrum. Rev.
DR.. Thos. Hume, Of the University,
conducted the services. The Senior
class, "a in number, gat in front.
Immediately before the preacher,
who spoke mainly for and to them,
and with fine effect. The whole
sermon was a discussion Of the
PHILOSOPHY of life Every life
must have controlling motive, and
the controlling motive Of every sue
cesaful life must accord with the
will Of the Creator.
Why do we live? Is it to pursue
pleasure ? To the masses this seems
the chief aim of life. Man is highly
endowed to enjoy pleasure. The
pleasures of the eye and the ear, OF
sense generally were admitted and
forcibly described by the preacher
Nature in all phases; earth, sky
ocean. mountain. fores.; lake, appeal
/ most Beautifully to the eyes2d ever
animals pursue pleasure and ENJOY
nature. Man is capable of higher
things. Do we live to make money
The power and utility of money
were nnely portrayed. Money makes
art, commerce, trade aud civiliza
ton. Money builds universitie'
and churches and spreads the gos
pei.
Is fame the true object of life
All noble minds are urged forward
by ambitious impulses. Caesar ant
Napoleon were cited as instances o
fame secured without profit or peac
to it's possessors or to the world.
Shall we seek knowledge? Th
good book esteems it before al
other earthly riches, but knowledg
is not character.
: We are here to glorify God an,
enjoy Him forever. "Let your mis-
sion be well-doing. Let it guild
you in all things, in profession, i
: companions, in church"
!, The sermon made a very fine in
: preston. A great many visitors al
. already here. Large crowds al
. expected today and tomorrow
! Kessnich's band from Richmon
= comes today. About three hundre
young ladies, constituting tt
! beauty and Grace of the leadin
- cities Of the State, have engage
rooms at the various hotels.

The financial situation grows in
interest each day, and the papers
are discussing it's phases from their
various stsndpoints.
There are several propositions
that strike US SIS odd.
First, the banks in New York, for
the want OF currency, have con-
tracted their loans about $75,O00,-
600, and are lending their funds ex-
clusively On call There is evi-
IDENTIFY scarcity Of currency, yet
people insist that the only process
by which new currency is supplied
to the country shall stop. That
seems odd to Us.
Second. Gold is rapidly leaving
this country. Men in that linz Of
business in New York are send
ing it away, and thsTy-s1.
lege that they~are afraid
becagssof r1s silver purchasing
Process gold will go to premium.
Being alarmed lest gold will 60 to
a premium on their hands, they are
fastening to get rid of it and are
sending it out of the country. That
we say looks odd.
Third, the treasury sold bonds in
order to amass fund in gold to re
deem United States notes and re-
sumo specie payments. That fund
is ample for the purpose. But it is
being used for another distinct and
different purpose. It is used not
to redeem notes, but as sort OF
available banking supply of gold
on which Europe can draw at pleas
ure. This again we deem odd.
Verify, the practical handling o1
finances is full of mystery.
We think the circumstances O
the day demonstrate that what il
needed is more currency, and tina
the new blood, the coin notes ISSUED
in purchasing silver, has been tn
very life of business. Subtract tn
volume of those notes from tn
present currency, and where woul'
we be-? 1t also seems to US that
the Treasury were to decline to fur
nish gold for export at the beck an
call of the exporters, and declar
it's purpose to hold its present gol
fund simply for the use it was il
tended, that is, to redeem Unite
States notes with and keep thel
on q par with gold, check would b
given to this whole export movemen
But some may say, what will tt
Rothschilds in Europe do if the
can't get our gold? II we we're
take the public into our confden'
on that subject, we would say th
we don't care what they do. TT
Treasury ought to hold on to i
gold, save for the legitimate pu
poses intended to be served by &C
lecting it.
Apprehensions may exist tn
gold will go to q premium, and as
result some persons may be hoar
ing it, but such apprehensions W
not tend to cause its sxportatio
The economic principle that is oft
relied on to sustain such an arg
ment is true enough and finds
illustration in the fact that VIII
the gold dollar is freely export
our silver dollar never is. But I'll
principle has no application VIII
ever in connection with the &C
dollar at q premium.
