The North Carolina Agricultural

organization of cooperative creamy

issued by the Station says "too
little attention has been given to

interest will be taken in the near
future and that the men who look
iato this industry will take hold of it
as they do of corn or tobacco grow
ing and make it a success. Whoever
wishes to investigate co operative
dairying can have the active help of
this Station. 1t is well within
bounds to assure any body of
creamery promoters in North Caro-
lima that they can start a creamery
on scale large enough to handle all
the m TX which can be brought TO the
factory, for from 81 900 to 81 800. /"

THE NEGRO.

The other day the New York
Tribune harped upon the treatment
of the negro in the South, whereupon
the Washington Post, a friend of the
Southern people, goes for it's con-
temporary in the following style:
1.-The South, the SOUTH Always
the South. But does the North set
the South an example OF the helpful
ness and brotherly love and neigh
borly solicitude of which it breaches
so effusively? What does the North
do for the negro that the South does
not? Occasionally some law, like
that idiotic statute enacted by the
New York Legislature at it's last
session, makes false pretense of
wholesale recognition; but where in
any Northern community does the
individual negro find that personal
sympathy and kindness which is his
without the asking everywhere be
yond the Potomac. Wehave known
of instances where a New Jersey sea-
shore hotel was depopulated in a
single day at the very height of the
season, because the negro servants
dared, during the interval of rest, to
promenade on the same sands and
plank walks, and breathe the same
air of heaven as the white guests.
Even the broad Atlantic beach was
not spacious enough for these fas-
tidious Northern philanthropists
(who no doubt are anxious to see the
negro have justice in the South and
the objects of their theoretical
solicitude. Only a few days ago
welI-dressed white man rose from his
seat in Brooklyn car and gave it
to poor old colored woman,
heavily laden and weary, and the act
so astonished the passengers that he
was followed and identified as a
Southern gentleman. Some one had
to write to the newspapers as the
only means of relieving his amaze
ment.
s.The true test of q community's
sentiments and inclinations is it's
acts, and to that test this contro-
versy may be safely referred by the
South. The South gives the negro
institutions of learning, opportuni-
ties of prosperity, kindness, sympa-
thy, and genuine good will. Does
the North do as much for him? We
think not--certainlY not in such
abundant measure and in such
spirit of friendly regard"

N,cHEERs FOR AMERICA.

Aid to Newfoundland.

England Denounced for Not Extending
Aid to Newfoundland.
4 ST.. JoHN's, N. F., March 15.-At
meeting of the Wes.s End relief commit
tee last night John Boyd, governor for
the poor asylum and an ex-member of
the colonial legislature, denounced the
British government for allowing the peo-
pie of Newfoundland to starve on the
streets, and the British flag to be starved
off the flagpole in Newfoundland, while
England gives thousands of pounds to
the Armenians and protects African
trading companies, leaving our people
to go begging to America for relief to
keep body and soul together. Seven
hundred families in the east end of St.
Johns were provided to-day with three
days provisions from the Boston relief
contributions. When the Halifax
steamer, Grand Lake, left this port this
morning she had among her passengers
Mr.. Faye, who came here in charge of
the American relief contributions. At
the hour OF the steamers departure
1900 people we're on the wharf to see
Mr.. Faye off. When the steamer was
swung out from her pier the American
flag was hoisted at her foremasthead.
The banner was greeted with many
hearty cheers. Cheers for Mr.. Faye and
Boston were given. The highest praise
is given Mr.. Faye for the manner in
which he has managed with the contri-
buttons he had in charge, and the way
in which he acquainted himself with
the wants and distress of the people.

MONTANA'S SILVER STATUE.

Bold Attempt to Steal 1t From Kan
sas City Dry Goods Store.
KANSAS CRY, March 15.-What was
doubtless an attempt to steal the $780,
600 gold base of the famous Montana
silver statue exhibited at the worlds
fair was frustrated here tonight. The
statue is on exhibition in the dry goods
store of local firm. 1t rests in plain
sight OF the street and is easy of access.
Late tonight two men, who, it was
later developed, had hidden themselves
in the store when it was closed this
evening, got 80 far as to wrench an iron
beam off the door where the statue
stood, and were opening both doors
when discovered. The men fled and
were chased for several blocks, and al
though fred at half a dozen times, es-
capped. They left the tools which would
have been necessary to remove the
statue, showing their intentions. Tracks
in the alley near by, where rear door
had been opened, indicated they had
confederates. The statue was that for
which Ada Rehan posed as a model.

MANY WE'RE STARVING.
The Supplies Sent to Newfoundland
Were Badly Needed.


Were Badly Needed.
ST. JOINS, N. F., March 13.-The
goods for the relief OF the suffering poor
of St. Johns, which were brought here
by the steamer Grand Lake from Boston
a few days ago, have all been landed
and stored free of cost, and were being
distributed to-day. The opinion of the
committee in charge of the distribution
is that the quality of the goods was
never excelled in st. Johns. The
amounts for distribution in other places
are being carried to their destination by
the railroad company free of cost. The
number of destitute families in St.
Johns is increasing daily, and the re-
ports from outposts are to the effect that
the people in many localities are in
utter restitution. A dispatch from o
small settlement on the southwest coast
signed by the parish priest was received
here to-day, stating that forty families
were starving there and there was moth
ing to give them. The dispatch also
asked that assistance be sent them i'm
mediately. This same condition exists
in nearly all the eastern districts. About
$500 families in st. Johns and its sub
urbs are in distress and are being as
sisted by the relief committee as much
as possible. At meeting of the clerical
relief committee held to-day resolutions
of thanks to the good people of Boston
and of New England were unanimously
adopted for their haste in replying to
the appeal for assistance from this place
with such a magnificent donation Of
food which was so badly needed.

SEATTLE, March 15.-The first case of
an accusing conscience, influenced by
religion. that ever came to the notice of
the federal authorities in this city was
brought to light last Monday afternoon,
when Thomas German, big ironmoul-
der by trade, walked into Commissioner
Emery's office and asked United States
District Attorney Brinker to have a war
rant issued for his arrest for counterfeit
ing and passing counterfeit coin. Cor
man said that he had confessed to the
officers of the Salvation Army and made
up his mind to do the same to the au-
thorities. He said that he had passed
$3.50 in this city and also in Tacoma
during the past two months, and that
he made the coin himself, using an
electric platter to plate the lead money.
He said that he did not know the PEN
atty for his offense, and did not care as
long as his conscience, which was both
ering him, was clear and he had atoned
for his crime. He was sent to Jail In
default of bond to await trial in June.

PERILS OF THE SEA.


Particulars OF the Loss of the Bark
Sarah s. Ridgeway.
VICTORIA, B. c., March IA. - The
steamer Miowera brings the following
story: Survivors of the wreck of the
American bark Sarah s. Ridgeway, 1856
tons, belonging to Philadelphia, bound
from Newcastle to Singapore with coal,
reached Bundabeerg February 10. They
comprise Captain N. Spjorgren, his wife,
officers and crew, numbering eleven.
The vessel made a splendid run until
January 25, when she encountered
terrible cyclone, lasting four days with
out cessation. Three of the crew were
washed away and drowned. The wind
defed all the efforts of the men on deck.
Men dashed to the wheel worked splen-
didly until forced by falling masts to
abandon their post. On the 10Th the
wind abated, when the bark went ashore
on Belona shoals, in 81 $50 south, 435
miles northeast of Burnett heads. The
master stood by until February 5, when
finding that the erection of jury masts
or effecting repairs would be impossible,
he and the crew took to the boats with
provisions and water. In this way they
arrived at Bundabeerg in an utterly
destitute condition. Albert Restols,
seaman, is suffering from a broken leg,
the mast having fallen on him. He was
conveyed to hospital, and is now in
precarious state. The bark was unin-
sured, and was only abandoned when
aid had become valueless. The names
OF those drowned are Albert Scruter and
Harry Bailer, seamen, and Charles o.
stem, carpenter.

The Tyler-Last chance Controversy.

WASHINGTON, March Is. = Secretary
Smith has rendered decision in the
case of the Last Chance Mining Com
pany vs.. the Tyler Mining Company,
being claim made by the former for
the Tyler lode in the Occur d'Alenes,
Idaho. A portion of the Tyler claim
overlapped the Last Chance, but the
patent waived the right to the overlap
ping portion. The Last Chance, how.
ever, asked that no patent be issued
while there was pending in the supreme
court case affecting the title of the
property. Secretary Smith holds as the
overlapping tract had been waived by
the Tyler Company patent shall issue
for its claim.

An Untimely Loss.

New YORK, March 15.-The large fac
tory building at SO and 80 South Fifth
avenue burned to-day with a loss Of
100000. The top floor was used as a
laboratory and workshop by Nicola
Tesla, the electrician, whose loss is $10,-
600. The destruction of Tesla's work
shop comes just when it was whispered
in the scientific world that the inventor
was on the eve of the greatest of dis
coveries connected with the problem oil
improving the electric light. 1t is feared
the disaster may result in the physical
collapse of the great inventor. He has
long been in state bordering on ex-
haustion through overwork. Mr.. Tesla
is the controlling electrical engineer Of
the Nicaragua Power Company and oil
many other important concerns.

Prosecution Called Upon to Produce
Them in Court.
SAN Francisco, March 15.-In the
strikers case in the United States dis
trict court to-day Harry Knox, the
leader of the Sacramento lodge of the
A. R. u, testified that at least six OF
the signatures alleged to be his on tele-
grams introduced by the prosecution
were forgeries. Attorney Monteith for
the defense had served notice on Dis
trict Attorney Foote to compel the pro-
duction of kilograms alleged to have
been sent by Superintendent Wright, OF
Sacramento, to Auburn and Willows, to
wreck the two trains taken from Duns-
muir and Truckee by strikers. 1t is
said that the kilograms have been de-
stroyed but the defense has copies OF
them taken off the wire by operators on
the other side of the receiving stations.
Had the trains been wrecked, as is al
legged they were ordered to be, any Of
the A. r. U. men who went to Sacra-
mento to aid the strikers there might
have been killed.

substance, that the interference of a

have taken the law into their own hands
that they must desist. 1t also expressed
willingness to meet the men amicably,
if they will return to peaceful methods
and accept work, but declared that they
must otherwise stand aside.

INDEMNITY LANDS.
Secretary Smith Decides I'm Favor of the
Northern Pacific.

Secretary Smith Decides in Favor of the
Northern Pacific.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-Secretary
Smith has rendered an important opin
ion in decision affecting the right OF
railroad companies to select indemnity
lands. The Northern Pacific Railroad
Company made application to select
81, 102 acres of land in the Yakima land
district, as indemnity for losses in the
Occur d'Alene reservation, Idaho. This
application was denied; first, because
the selection was not arranged tract for
tract; second, because the right of the
company to make good in one state the
losses in another is questioned, and the
question is also raised as to the right of
the company to select indemnity lands
occupied as Indian reservations. The
company asked for review and the
secretary goes into the matter at con-
siderable length. He holds that the
grant to the Northern Pacific was not
confined to the state limits, and that
selections for indemnity can be made in
any state for losses in another, but with
the reservation that indemnity must be
selected as near the losses as possible.
The commissioner is directed to ascer-
tain whether lands are to be obtained
nearer Occur d'Alene than Yakima. He
also holds that the losses for an Indian
reservation are subject to indemnity. In
the matter of selection, tract for tract,
the company claims the reservation
lands lost had not been surveyed, so
such selections could be made in the
same way; but the secretary thinks suf-
ficient surveys have been made on the
reservation to enable such a selection.
The secretary quotes opinions by Attor-
ney-General Garland and Secretary
Villas in support of his findings.

The Oregon's Side Armor Tested.


WASHINGTON, March 13.-The navy
department has accepted 315 tons Of
Harveyized nickel steel armor, nearly
half of the side armor for the battleship
Oregon, made by the Carnegie Steel
Company, as the result of a trial OF an
l8-inch plate at Indian head to-day.
The plate received two shots from IL
inch gun. The first was sent at a veloc..
ity OF ,046 feet per second and smashed
to pieces on the face of the plate, which
was scaled little at the point of con,
tact but was not cracked. The second
shot had velocity of 1926 feet. Thu
penetrated nine inches and then broke
up, but it cracked the plate from top 70
bottom. The plate, however, was pro
nounced to be of good quality.
