Yellow Fever in Havana.

After a very serious visitation of the ing Instead of nearly one hundred new cases day there are now about fifty, and the deaths account of it are few in number. A cool, rather than a cold, wave swept over the island about November 16 and it materially lessened the ravages of the fever.
 The want of complete drainage and sanitation is of course felt, but even this want would not be very damaging if the tide of non-immunes could be stayed dur ing the fever season. A good part of the non-immune population consists of pea sants from Spain, who are coming over as freely as they did before Cuba was made free. The fever has this year freely at- tackled these impecunious immigrants, who come without regard to seasons or to the dangers of acquiring the fever of the eli mate. These peasants are considered de- sirable in the development of the island, and no one desires to prevent their coming altogether
 As rule tourists and prudent visiting Americans do not take the fever. Care is, however, very needful, and will be need- full until the germs are destroyed by disin- lection, sanitation and improved sewerage Santiago has been rendered proof against the fever, and there is no reason why Ha- vana cannot be, although in the latter case the expense of drainage and other sanita- ton will be much greater.

ESTIMATING THE COTTON CROP.

From the New Orleans Picayune
 This Is the period of the year when the crop of cotton-crop estimates is almost as plentiful that of the staple itself. All sorts of people make estimates, or at least guesses, and those in the cotton trade dignify their guesses by recording them. Within the past few days the cotton men of Memphis, of New York of Liverpool and of New Orlenas have recorded their estimates, and, while the Liverpool guesses natur- ally reflect the interests of those making them, who. buyers, are not desirous of . short crop, the American estimates

St. Vincent's Hospital.

The opening of the splendid new hos pital by the Sisters of Charity, at the head of South Twenty-seventh street indeed marks an era in the history of Birming ham.
 At a cost of nearly a quarter of a million dollars, small part of which was contributed by the people of the Birmingham district, these noble women have builded a home for suffering humani- ty which will ever stand as a monument to the gentle spirit of benevolenee and blessedness which they have spread throughout the world.
 HeHe in the heart of the industrial South, within sound of the throbbing en- zines of industry, they have erected home for the sick and mamed, a haven where the ministrations of their own gen. tie spirits can nurse back to health and vigor the unfortunates who are stricken down and who can but rise up to call them blessed.
 In the conduct of this splendid hospital the Sisters only ask the cooperation of the people of the district which should be given to them unreservedly.
 Complete in it's every detail, magni- fcent in its appointments, this splendid institution is truly a monument to which Birmingham can point with pride.

The delegates to the State con-

select some person to canvass ev-
cry township and organize an
association therein. This commits

expenses incurred in advertising
said meetings, and to call the next
county convention when a sufficient
number of townships are organ

THE BANK OF WAYNE.

These four words are household
words in Goldsboro, Wayne and
surrounding counties. We speak
the plain, simple truth when we
say that no banking institution
anywhere, it makes no difference
how big its capital or how great
its surplus, ever enjoyed more
confidence of the whole people than
does the Bank of Wayne.
For years and years, in quiet
way, the Bank of Wayne has gone
along making money for it's stock
holders, but at the same time
granting every possible accommo-
dation to its patrons, consistent
with good business principles, and
has thrown its protecting arm
around the farmers and merchants
of the community, and has fos-
tered and encouraged the various
manufacturing establishments,
which are the pride of all our
people, and which to a very large
degree have made Goldsboro the
prosperous city that it is to-day.
The Bank Of Wayne is a rublic
benefactor.
In another column we publish
the banks statement. It is graft
flying indeed TO read of its ever
increasing business and it's splen-
did condition. This fine statement
not only speaks volumes for the
Bank of Wayne and its manage
ment, but in no uncertain terms
it tells of Gol1sboro's progress
and prosperity.

out because a negro named

FINE FUSION SCHEME.
POpulists May Nominate Allen
for President and Take Him
Down Later On.

Lincoln, Feb. 5.-As possible
solution of the problem that now
confronts the Populist party, it
has been suggested that Senator
Allen be named as the Populist
nominee for President, with the
understanding that he is to be
withdrawn afterwards in favor Of
Bryan. Nebraska Populists who
favor fusion are anticipating
trouble in the selection of nomi>
nees for the Presidential ticket,
and this plan may be resorted to
as means of defeating the middle
of-the-road element j. II. Ed
minston, of this city, has been
assured that at least $50 members
of the Populist National Com
mittee will attend the meeting to
be held here February 10, and
while it is generally believed that
the Western delegates will favor
holding the national convention at
the same time and place with
Democrats, there is no doubt that
the combined strength of the MIDI
dle-of-the-roaders will amount to
a great deal when it comes to de-
Gliding upon the place.
1t is not at all certain that the
fusionists, who favor nominating
Bryan and demanding in exchange
the Vice-Pre5idency, will be in he
majority. If they are the conven~
ton will probably be closely COM
b1ned with that of the Democrats,
but if the middle-of~ ~the-roaders
predominant the convention will
be held a week or two earlier. The
scheme proposed for defeating the
opponents of fusion is to have
Allen nominated, with the Nation
al Committee holding power to fill
any vacancy that might occur on
the ticket, so that upon the with
drawal of Allen the name If
Bryan might be substituted. 1t is
also asserted that by pursuing this
plan there would be a possibility
of having Allen nominated for
Vice-President by the Democrats.
