another, much less being engaged.

WHAT WILL THE NEGROES Do2
A Circular Issued by Some Durham
Darkies.

Dark1eS.
A circular is being issued from the
office of the negro newspaper pub
lished at Durham. 1t says:
"On every hand it can be plainly
seeD that the time has come for the
negro to act for himself in all matters
pertaining to his social, moral: finan-
cial and political rights, and not to be
ais.
"We must act and nerve ourselves
for the great battles that will soon
confront US. The negro as a race has
long been dormant and has done moth
ing to assert his independence and
can never hope to rise in the scale of
progress as long as this is the case"
The circular goes on to state that a
meeting has been held at Raleigh and
plans formulated with the purpose in
view of the advancement and "uniOn"
of the negro along all lines so as to
put them in position to demand rec
ignition every where. The persons to
when the circulars are addressed are
urged to organize clubs and report the
names of officers and members to Dr.
James e. Shepherd, Of that place.
1t further says that big State
meeting will be called to meet in Raj
eigh late in September which dele
gates from every county in the State
will attend.
1t closes with the folio wing words /:

Mr.. Cunningham said concerning the
disappearance of John Bruce:

ate dinner together in restaurant on
Eleventh street, near Mission. Bruce was
eating when / finished and 1 did not wait
for him, but went to the Cooperative Shoe

not seen him since.
"His relatives in Canada have requested
me to institute search for him, as there
are some important private matters to be
attended to there. | do not know what
these matters are, but believe Bruce was
possessed of abundant means.
HE roomed at my home for about ten
years, and so far as | know did no work
during that time. Money was sent to him
by his relatives in Canada.
ga very peculiar part of the affair is that
the proprietor of the restaurant where
Bruce was last seen by me told me Bruce
stayed at his place till the next day, and
then left with the remark that he was
going to my home. He did not, however,
cali at my house that day, and from ap-
pearances I have concluded that he has

uncertain and caused much doubt as to the
future plans in every factory and shop in the
land.
Those who have silver mines, and who can
by their wealth control political parties and
legislatures, who make the very seat of our
National Government their prided offices, and
actually turn the National Senate into bureau
for bulling the price of their product-to these
men we say beware.
Free coinage was born in the private Offices

and at the time of her former visit she had
obtained little or no recognition. Now in
her old age she has been received on all
hands with every show OF esteem and con-
sideration, and it was evident from her
letter that she felt quite overcome by this
warmth and enthusiasm. The letter con-
cluded in the following terms:

ASSOCIATE JUSTICE FIELD,
Soon He Will Celebrate an An
niverSary of Great
Interest.
1t Is the Jurist's Ambition to Serve
the Longest Term on the
Supreme Bench.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 17.--Justice
Field will next Monday celebrate the grand
| anniversary of his entering upon the duties
as a member of the United States Supreme
Court. He was appointed to the office on
March 10, 1868, by President Lincoln, but
did not assume the duties of the position
until the 10th of May following.
He was at the time of his appointment
Chief Justice OF the Supreme Court OF the
State of California, and he desired to finish
the business which had been begun before
transferring his labors to new field. The
eighty second anniversary of his father
birthday also fell on the Goth of May,
which was another reason for his selecting
that date for beginning his services in the
National Supreme Court.
Counting from the date of his appoint
ment only three Justices have been longer
on the Supreme bench than Mr. Field.
These were Justice Marshall Justice Storey
and Justice Wayne. Chief Justice Mar
shalls term covered thirty -four years, five
months and five days; Justice Storey's
thirty-three years and nine months and
Justice Wayne's thirty-three years and
five months.
When Justice Field went on the bench
Judge Taney was Chief Justice. 1t is said
to be Mr.. Fields ambition to extend his
term so as to make it the longest on record,
and he bids fair to be able to accomplish
that result, Notwithstanding he is now
almost 70 years old.
He admits, when the stories of his in
tended resignation are carried to him, that
he hopes to remain on the bench at least
one year longer. Justice Field has already
made known his intention of going
to the Pacific Coast, where his
circuit is located. during the
coming vacation of the Supreme Court, as
has been his annual practice, with COM
paratively few exceptions, ever since his
appointment, notwithstanding the law re-
quires visits to the circuit only once every
two wears

Gliding the case of appeal of John Drysdale
from the rejection of homestead entry
on the Fort Crittenden abandoned mill
tary reservation in Utah, Secretary Smith
holds that although the entries on this
reservation prior to the passage of the act
of August %, 1894, are invalid, the bona
fide settlers within the limit of this reser-
vation and of all other abandoned military
reservations of more than 5000 acres are
now entitled to make entry on lands occu-
pied by them, providing no adverse claims
have arisen since the termination of the
six months that have elapsed after the
passage of the act.

untenable. As he showed on the previous
hearing, counsel for C. A. Spreckels Jr. had
confused "leading questions" with s'cross-
examination. The court upheld Mr.. Delmas'
construction as an elementary rule of law and
stated that his inclination would be to support

OMAHA, NEBR., May 17.-At to-day's
session of the Supreme Council of the
Catholic Knights of America the conven-
ton again resolved itself into committee
of the whole to complete consideration of
the report of the committee on laws. The
most important feature in this respect was
the debate on the question of creating the
supplemental office of supreme organizer,
a position suggested to increase the men,
bership of the order.
During this discussion Archbishop Gross
of Oregon took the floor for the first time
during the convention proceedings and
warmly urged the necessity of doing some
thing to infuse new life into the order and
insure and increase its membership. The

Minister Lorin Thurston being in favor of

although given as emanating from "private
information received at San Francisco" is
not new in Washington, as similar story

the natives that Thurston was for the
restoration of the ex-Queen. The Adver-

When it came to the attention of officials
