NEGROES REFUSE TO BE ELECTED.
A North Carolina Sheriff Vainly Endesyors Il
0ust 5000 Colored People

RALEIGH. N. c.. April 2l.-The Supreme
Court having decided that the land on
which James City. in Craven county. ia
situated belongs to James A. Bryan and
wife. the mandate of the court has been
placed In the hands of the sheriff of Craven
county to dispossess the FIVE thousand
negroes living thereon. Sheriff Lane has
tried twice to execute the order of rhe
court. but the negroes have refused TO be-
ejeote6. Yesterday the sheriff went to
James City with O posse of fifteen men.
On their approach the town bell was rung
and the sheriff found all the doors locked
and the people assembled out of doors.
Not less than two thousand men and wom-
en- were in the streets. They were polite
in a personal way to Sheriff Lane. but they
found himself without support. and he re.
turned to Newberne without executing his
writs of ejectment. The matter has been
laid before Governor Carr and be has an.
swered that he cannot order our the mi.
Etia to aid the sheriff until he has ex-
bausted the powers of Craven county. The
sheriff Is now summonlng a large posse in.
cluding the military company of New berne
and he intends TO make another effort
to enforce the law. Mr. Bryan. has
to allow the settlers everything they
have put on the land, but the
negroes having been put on the land by
the federal army during the war and lust
after the occupation OF Newberne. cannot
understand how it Is that the State of
North Carolina has any jurisdiction or au-
thority over them. The population of
James City 10 5000 and blOodshed is ex-
pected when the sheriff returns to COM
mence the process of eviction. The latest
report Is that an association of negro
preachers he's taken the matter in hand,
and Is trying to formulate some proposition
Of settlements that the negroes will agree to
and that Will be acceptable to Mr.. Bry an
and wife.

GOLD RESERVE BROKEN.

WASHINGTON. April 2i.-At the Cabinet
members of the Cabinet were present, with
the exception of Secretary Herbert Of the
Navy Department. the financial situation.
it is understood, was almost the exclusive
topic of discussion. The meeting lasted
for two hours and half, and was the long
est sesslon of the Cabinet since the new
administr alton came into power. When
the Treasury Department closed its doors
this afternoon the gold reserve of S10O. .00o-
600 had been invaded to the extent of
g. 100000 to s3.0o0.00a. When the day
opened there was in the treasury Sl65, 900
of free gold. This amount was increased
by gold offers from the West sggregating
about 81, 10000 The large Withdrawals of
gold for shipment from New York cut this
down to such an extent that when the
Cabinet met Secretary Carlisle found that
the orders for gold MP to that time
about 1 O'Clock. had wiped out tho free
gold and invaded the gold renervo to tho
extent of S2.557 900. As far es it can be
officially ascertalned this is the amount
taken out of the gold reserve to-day for OK
port to- morrow. although it 10 unoficialIy
stated that $780, 200 in gold, exclusive OF
that taken out at New York. had been
Withdrawn from the subtreasurY at Boston
for export to Canada. If so, this would
make about 5000. 900 in gold taken out of
the country for shipment tomorrow and
leave the gold reserve invaded to the ex-
tent of 6, 1000 C00 or the total gold in the
Treasury of e97.000.000. 1t Is believed that
this invasion is bnt temporary. and that
within O few days the depleted reserve will
be restored 20 it's original fgure-Sl00, ,000.-
600.
While nothing official can be obtained
here as to the decision of the Treasury De-
partment In regard to the payment in gold
of treasury notes issued under the law of
1890, the fact that these notes are being
paid In gold upon presentation proves oon.
clusively that they will. for the present, at
least be redeemed as heretofore. The con-
struction placed upon Secretary Carlisie's
statement given to the press last night was
that when he reached the limit of the gold
reserve he would exercise his discretion
and pay this class of notes. when present ted
for redemption, In silver. To this extent
only are the occurrences of to-day O sur
prise. It can pc stated with positiveness
that there is no disagreaT ertci the tinan-
cial situation between the President aud

The Parasitic World.

The parasitic lives which swarm
around us have given us better clue to
the causes of many diseases which af-
fict humanity, and nearly every year we
are enabled to trace to the parishes in
meat or living animals deaths that were
otherwise unaccountable. The discovery
of the trichina spiralis that eats into
the muscles, and which is taken from
pork that is diseased, has made plain to
us the distinction between this com :
plant and typhoid fever. Formerly
poisoning from this cause was supposed
to be typhoid. tuberculosis that comes
from drinking milk is another disease
that can be traced to the minute para
sites that live in the cows, and are taken
into the human system. When our meat
stands for any length of time in conts ct
with the air small parasites attach them
selves to it, and multiply rapidly until
they make it unfit foIuse. 1t is this para
site life which surrounds US that makes
it essential that cleanliness, hygiene and
sanitation should be observed. The true
meaning of these words is to fight and
guard against coming in contact with
poisonous parasites, and especially
against their introduction into our sys-
tenn either through breathing or eating
tainted food. Yankee Blade.

what passe gowns of the season, at this time
when one hardly wants to buy entirely new
outfits very pretty Nile green silk that
had grown little soiled about the edge of
the skirt and marked about the arms as a
party dress, was frightened into charming
freshness by deep ruff1e of silk organdie
set in festoons at the foot of the skirt. The
top of the ruffle was headed by three rows

being the colors in the organdie. The rib
bons were jeweled with amber, black jet
and emerald beads. The upper part of the
bodice was covered with the organdie, max
ing sort of yoke outlined by band ofthe
pink ribbon that crossed the breast and
passed to the back under the arms. Big ruff
fles of the organdie fell over the shoulders.
And the dress was certainly lovelier one
than ever it had been when first made.

the entire skirt covered with a delicate silk

The Humming Of the Wires.

You have all heard the humming
and singing of telegraph and telephone
wires as you pass the poles along the
streets. No doubt you have con.
cluded that it is caused by the action
of the wind on the wires and given it
no further thought But it is not true
that the singing is caused by the wind,
and if you are at all observing you
will notice that often the humming
sound is to be heard these cold
winter mornings when the smoke
from the chimneys goes straight up
until it is lost in the clouds and when
the frost on the wires is as fuzzy and
thick as a roll of chenille fringe.
The wind had nothing to do With
the sound, and according to an Aus
trian scientist the vibrations are due
to the changes of atmospheric temper
ature, and especially through @h. ac-
lien of cold, as lowering of temper
ature induces shortening of the wires
extending over the whole of the con-
ductor. A considerable amount of
friction is produced on the supporting
bell, thus inducing sounds both in the
wires and the poles. When this hum
ming has been going on birds have
mistaken the sound for insects inside
the poles, and have been seen to peck
with their bills on the outside as thev
do upon apple asd other trees. Tho
story is told Of bear that mistook
the hummingl noise as coming from q
nest of bees, and clawed at the pole,
and tore away the stones at its base in
the hope of finding the much-coveted
honey. Utica Observer.

other States to take like action. The
New Hampshire Legislature has just
passed a law exactly similar in its
terms, and the large Lewiston Mills
in Maine have increased wages to q
point where the cost Of production
will be equal to the short hour pro-
duction in Massachusetts. This re-
suit is encouraging, as it shows that
efforts to improve the condition Of
the workingman in one State are
pretty sure to be seconded elsewhere.

take the privilege of telling a rather
good, true story that heard the other day
about some Harvard boys who went out
duck shooting.
Whether or not too much porting over
musty Greek and intricate Latin had af-
fected their eyesight, do not know. Per
haps they had left their eyeglasses at
home. IioweverH may lie, when floating
on the pond they saw away ahead of them
a flock of wild ducks swimming in the
water and evidently enjoying their bath
after their long flight from the far north
land.
All was excitement on the boat
"Be quiet Don't scare them" wits
pered one OF the sportsmen.
The oarsman was told to row silently
within shooting distance.
The new guns, all loaded hours before,
were anxiously examined, and with beat
ing hearts and eyes and nerves ON the
alert tho students took aim.
"Bangi bang" went the four guns, all
together.
But when the smoke cleared there was
no sign of disturbance in the group of
birds, excepting that II few appeared to
be missing Not one assembled skyward
with the usual distressed cry of frightened
animals. The boys had wasted energy
and shot on II largo collection of wooden
decoys .-Boston Herald.
