A Point Conceded.

Southern conservatism in regard to women has conceded one point. The University of North Carolina has con- ferred the degree of IL. D. on Mrs. Cornelia Phillips Spencer, who is the first woman to receive the honor from that source.
 The distinction is the we'll merited re- ward of many years of faithful service on Mrs. Spencer's part. Although the university has just celebrated its cen tennial anniversary, it barely existed during the rebellion, and soon after, like Wordsworth s famous Lucy Snow, it "ceased to be-" but Mrs. Spencer succeeded in arousing enough interest among its alumn8 to reanimate it.
 She has taken prominent part ill all efforts to increase the efficiency of the university, and some time ago an at tempt was made to recognize her serv- ices, but the southern feeling was not ready for such radical action, and it is only lately her friends have seen that the conferring of a degree is suitable manner of expressing to her their grati- tude and esteem.

ACCIDENT lO U-. -.4OGR. Lost to VigiIant Thr"r si, the Breaking of
 Her Steering Gear.
 NEW LONDON. Conn.,, July 31.-Vigi- lant beat Defender in a run of 64 miles from Eaton point on the Long Island shore, four miles from Huntington harbor, to this port, the cup defender giving up the race when not far from this port owing tt her steering gear having become deranged.
 A strong southwest by south breeze, varying in strength from Is to g knots, blew throughout the main portion of the race, which was broad reach on the star board tack from start to finish and with hardly the shift of a sail. When Defender gave up the race it was estimated that she was fully five minutes ahead of Vigilant, and the new yacht was looked upon as a sure winner, barring accidents, but the unexpected accident occurred, and Defend CT met her first defeat
 The Vigilant had little the best of the start and kept well ahead for some time. Finally, however, she got into @ luffing match with Defender, the latter pressing her closely, and Defender walked up ahead and to windward, pulled gradu- ally away, and, it is estimated, was about five minutes ahead when nearing New London. Then she suddenly luffed up, lowered her topsail, signaled for a tug and was eventually lowed to her anchorage in the harbor. The general opinion expressed after the race was that Defender would undoubtedly have won the race had she been able to finish.
 The result of the race demonstrates very little unless it is that in broad reach of over so miles, in a stiff breeze, Defender can beat Vigilant, but not by quite as wide a margin as her admirers would like it to be.
 Constellation, in the schooner class, made remarkable run, covering the course in hours 86 minutes 34 seconds really remarkable performances. Con- stellation, the pride of Boston, was the first yacht to reach this harbor, and her time compares finely with ViRilant's hours 70 minutes 87 a0oeaf1

If It Hadn't Been For Clara, All Might
 Have Been We'll.
 1T never see you with Anna any more, remarked the girl with the white parasol. "Have you quarreled?''
 ''No, you don't see me with Anna nowadays, 9 replied the girl in the yell low lawn, .and we haven't quarreled either. The fact is, I don't dare to allow myself that luxury. She is cat, a mean, despicable, purring cat!''
 "M'm! Something has happened then? thought so. You might tell me about it after you catch your breath. "Well, it was this way: You know Harry Brownsmith is away on his sum- mer vacation, and I got letter from him last week. I knew he wouldn't write to Anna, because she pretends to think it bad form to correspond with | young men,"
 "She hasn't learned to spell since she left school then, has she?'
 Evidently not. Now, never had any patience with boasting, so resolved not to mention the letter to Anna. Twas I determined to let her know of it, how ever, so sent her note begging her to come and lunch with me. Then left this letter, as if by accident, lying on the parlor table where she couldn't help but see it.
 "I know how green she turned when her eye fell on that postmark.
 She did. There wasn't thing in it except commonplaces, but she couldn t see that through the envelope, so I counted on very pleasant morning
 "I'm sure you had it. only wish had been there too. "
 ''I wish you had," groaned the girl in the yellow lawn. "I should certainly have asked you had had the least idea of what was going to happen.''
 "You don't mean that she is one of those awful people who can read letter by merely placing it on the head, do you?' asked the girl with the white parasol ill an awed tone.
 Mercy, no. We were having quite a lovely time when Clara ran in for few minutes. Oh, if she had only staid away As she was leaving I went to the door with her so could just whisper what was going on, and, why, Anna sal with her eyes glued to that letter. Oh we'll, what do you think happened?"
 "Anna heard what you said?" "No; worse than that. The door blew shut and the night latch caught witl me on the outside and nobody in tho room with her. She kept me pounding and calling for fully five minutes before she let me in-pretending she though it was the children ill the next fiat And oh, if you could only have seen tht gratified malice ill her sallow face!' "Oh, we'll, of course she had read th' letter. Still, you needn't mind it sC much, as you say there was nothing say, commonplaces in it. "
 "That is just it, my dear! If ther' had been a lot of sentiment ill it, he jealousy would have punished her fo her cu~ 'nsity. As it is, she has gottel ahead 'ne for once and I'll get ever with hc I have to wrinkle up m. forehe;.A !: studying out way to d. it. t.'-Ch-t Igo Times Herald.

 Opens at Baltimore.

Th0 MaryIanO DemOcrat1C Sbabe VOnFenCAOn
 Opens at Baltimore.
 BALTIMORE, July 31.-The Hobbies of the Carrolton hotel are crowded today with enthusiastic Democrats from all sec tions of the state, who are here to attend the convention which will today nominate state officers. Never in the history of the state has there been waged more spirit ed contest. At first the revolt against the so called German ring assumed such pro- portions that many experienced politi- clans predicted that an aDti-Gorman can didate for governor would be named, but as the fight progressed it became evident that the German forces were again in the saddle, and this morning it is conceded that whoever the senator selects for the nominee will be chosen with but little opposition.
 Among the most pronounced candidates are ex-State Senator Hayes State Treas urer Jones, Colonel Walter Sml 41 and John K. Hurst, all close friends C Cor man, and Judge Fisher, who has a large | independent following.
 Many well informed politicians believe | that Germans forces will finally concen- trate upon John k. Hurst, a rich man of | this city, who up to Monday was barely l considered as possible candidate. Others l predict that the successful candidate will be Spencer Jones.

General Roloff's Expedition Ar

THIS IS A BAD BLOW FOR cAMPos

( Big Consignment of Rifles and Ammuni.
 ton Collected In the United States and
 Delivered to the Insurgents-Six Thou
 sand Patriots Expected to Rise.
 TAMPA, Fla, July 31.-The long de- layed Roloff expedition which left Key West early in June has landed safely in Cuba. Up to the 17th inst. the party was detained on an obscure Florida key owing to improper instructions given a steamer which was to convey them to Cuba. The provisions they had afforded subsistence for few days, after which they obtained food from adjacent keys.
 A secret messenger service was estab- lished with Cuban headquarters at New York via Tampa, and arrangements made for rescuing the expedition. The hardships they endured while on this island, exposed to the elements, were great, and 25 of the goo found it uncomfortable and deserted, making their way to Key West and Tam pa where they were put under the oath of secrecy.
 Henry Brooks was identified with the movement at the beginning, but was pre- vailed upon by his family to leave Cuba. After going to Paris he returned to New York, then came to Tampa disguised as a common sailor. He, with several others,

 Six Thousand Men Will Rise. After returning from the key, instead of sailing direct for the northern shore of Las Valles, they steamed westward, round- ing Cape San Antonio and keeping Cuba far beneath the horizon until off the south coast of Santo Espirito when they made direct for the coast, landing near Las Tu- mas de Zasa on Saturday night. Colonel Figueredc says tha1 not only will the district of santa Clara at large rise in arms, but also the province of Ma | tanzas, 1iext to Havana, because both Ro- | loff and Sanchez have a large following in these provinces. Besides this, the large quantities of arms and ammunition taken were what the people there were waiting for. He calculates that in a few days they | will have (, 900 men with them. The landing of this expedition is con-
 sidered as. serious a blow to Campos as his defeat at Valenzacla: That the expe- dition remained 40 days on this key, es, caping the vigilance of the United States patrol, is due to their excellent organiZa,
 tion. The Cuban leaders were constantly
 afraid the expedition would be detected
 in its perilous position. The steamer bear | ing Campos from Manzanillo to Cienfue gos must have sighted the f1libusterine l steamer.

ONE of the most encouraging signs of the improving times is the appearance of the railroad companies in the list of wage raisers. Two of the railroad companies have thus far advanced the wages of their employees; but when the movement shall have become universal it will add armies of happy employees to the thousands who are now having their taste of the pleasures of prosperity. The Chicago & Eastern Illi- nois railroad company have just announced to it's employees the restoration of the ten per cent which was taken from their wag' g in 1893, which advance will affect in all about one thousand men. This is but a forerunner of the good news that is likely to be received soon by many thousands of railroad employees. for the tremendous ru b of freight traffic indicates that the trans portation interests are feeling the effects of rsviving trade no less forcibly than are the other branches of industry and com merce.

NO BULLETS LEFT.
Why Gauthier DiS Not Kill Himself as Well

 as His Sweetheart.
 MONTREAL, July 31.-Isaie Gauthier, a cigarmaker, g years of age, emptied the five chambers of his revolver into Q beau tiful young girl to whom he was engaged to be married, Calina Consigny, also 9 years of age shooting her through the head, chest and arms and killing her. The tragedy was committed in a house at 19 Bonsccours street, a rendezvous which the girl and her lover were in tho habit oi attending regularly.
 Gauthier as he afterwnrd admitted in the police station, bought the revolver fol the express purpose of killing his sweet heart. He also, he said, intended to take his own life had he not used all the bull lets in the revolver in killing the girl. Gauthier was captured without mucf trouble and locked up. It appears that ht is dying of consumption and is also suf fering from another incurable disease. H. and Miss Consigny were to have been mar ried in a week

THE news of the uprising of the Ban hooks in Wyoming. BOW officially con- frmed, is an unpleasant reminiscence of times which had been supposed to be forever past. It is the old, old story of white aggression and vengeful reprisAl by the Indians. The Bannocks' hunting par ty, some of whom were shot down like dogs, appear to have be n engaged in the chase upon grounds on which they had per- feet right to be in accordance with their treaty with the United States; but, unfor- tunately. there appears to be conflict be- tween the treaty and the game laws of Wyoming. While it may be the duty of the federal authorities to capture the Ban- nook warriors and confine them to their reservation, the state of Wyoming cannot be dissolved rom the charge of remissness in permitting it's rufianly element to take the law into their own hands and incite hostilities which imperil the lives and homes of many innocent and peaceful settlers.

TEST INSURANCE CASE.
Right to Exhume Bodies of Policy Holders to Be Decided.

ALBANY, July 3l.--The right of insur ancc companies t" c&hume the bodies of policy holders is tu hc determined by the court of appeals on the appeal just filed in the case of Charles Wehlc against the United States Accident association to re- cover $l0,000 on a policy on the life of Henry Wehle, who was found drowned at Rockaway on Sept. I, 1893. When the case came to trial, it was dismissed on proof that a demand of the insurance company to make an examination of the body after the burial had been denied by the repre- sentatives of MT. Wehle.
 The court says that the examination of a body cannot be had unless the contract calls for such examination in unequivocal terms. It is pointed out that the contract calls for the exhumation and not the ex- animation of tho body. As Wehle was not turicd until Sept. Q it is held that the company should have applied for the ex- animation before burial instead of after ward
