HIGH LIFE ON STATE FARM.

Mr. Edward Grimes, gentleman of
color, was at one time a citizen of Pitt
county, more or less intelligent and re-
spected, but owing to a confusion Of
ideas respecting the rights of property
and a consequent interview with court
and jury, he was perforce, subjected
to a term of treatment at the State pen
itentiary. Life there becoming burden
some he was transferred TO the purer
and open air of the State farm, in Hall
fax. The wife of his bosom has lately
received "a letter from him wherein he
states that, barring her presence, life is
very agreeable there and everything is
done to make things comfortable and
pleasant. Among other nice recEeatiOns
he says he has recently been ON deer
hunt and had the satisfaction of killing
a buck weighing $50 pounds. Altogether
he is having Il fine time. Mr.. Grimes

JUSTICE McKENNA TAKES HIS SEAT.
InductinS Him Into Office Took Less
Than Four Minutes.


Than Four Minutes.
Mr.. Joseph McKenna took his seat ON the
bench of the Supreme Court of the United
States today as an associate justice. The
official ceremony of inducting him into this
i'm portant office consumed less than four
minutes, and was simple in the extreme.
Mr. McKenna had already taken the gen.
eral oath of office before the chief JUS
tice, when at one minute past IL o'clock he
walked into the court room, bringing up
the rear of the procession of justices. He,
like all the other members of the court,
" ore a long, flowing black robe. The court
room was crowded in anticipation of the
event. When he entered the chamber the
new justice stopped at Clerk Mckenneys
desk. where he remained, while the other
Justices took their respective seats upon
the bench.
Chief Justice Fuller announced the pres
Ell ce of the new justice, saying: 1T gives
of the bar that Mr.. Joseph McKenna of
California has been appointed an associate
justice of this court"
He then stated that Mr.. McKenna was
present end prepared to take the oath.
The clerk read Mr. McKenna's commission
aloud, and afterward handed him a copy
OF the judicial oath, the court and all pres
ent rising as this was dCne Mr. McKenna
read the oath in distinct voice.
MI Mckenna was escorted to his seat on
the extreme left of the chief Justice by
Marshal Wright. the court remaining
shake Of the hand from Justice white. his
nearest neighbor. and by bows from the
cther members OF the court, whereupon all
ook their seats
With this the ceremony concluded. and
the court proceeded with the business be-
fore 1t, the first cases being those dealing
with the Texas antitrust law.

SILVER REPUBLICANS PLEASED.
Recent Occurrences From Which
They Take Comfort.


The displacement of Mr.. Preston from
the dictatorship of the mint, and the dec
laration of Secretary Gage that the Pres
idents advisors heartily support his efforts
10 secure International bimetallism-a dec
laration made by Mr.. Gage in his Phiiadel-
phia speech last night-cause great salts
faction among those republicans in Con-
gress who have been declaring that the
President was not in favor of the gold
standard. Those men whose sentiments
were reflected by Mr.. Wolcotts recent
speech in the Senate, in which Secretary
Gage and Mr.. Preston were criticised, feel
that M. Preston's displacement is vindi-
cation of their contention that the Pres
icent was not in sympathy with the prop
osition to commit the country more thor
cughly TO the gold Standard and that the
declaration OF Secretary Gage last night
with reference to International bimetalism
is compliance with the wishes of the
President.
These two things are interpreted oy those
who want something done for silver" as
clearly indicating that the President is de-
termined upon a policy of conciiiaIion to-
ward themselves. This assumption may
not be warranted, but the men with silver
fancies who still adhere to the republican
those of the opposition say with glee that
the administration Is showing signs of
weakening before their attacks.
Gold men in Congress deny that any such
significance can properly be given TO the
events, but the opposition persist in getting
comfort, espt cially out Of the displacement
OF Preston.
