Before the Biological Society In
Washington recently. Mr.. II. ". Olds
presented the results OF his studies OF
bird music. Wonderful as Il seems. he
said, II Is n fact that some OF the birds
use the human musical scale. He
showed by examples how the songs Of
certain birds are unmistakably gov
crned by the intervals that compose
our scale. Sometimes bird musicians,
like their human compcers. wander
from the key. He thought that there
was no escape from the conclusion that
birds nre subject to a musical evolu-
tion whlch parallels our own.

The Republicans in Washington Badly Scared

James Jones, the colored man who was
Jefferson Davis body servant, is in the

home and he comes here every campaign

He will vote for Mr.. Bryan because he
thinks it is to his interest and the interest
Of every other man not connected with a
trust to vote that way. Speaking of the
political situation in Washington, he said
yesterday:
There is no doubt of the fact that the
Republicans are scared They talk to me
freely and l tell you they are badly fright
ened. They see Mckinley day by day los
ing strength and nothing that they've been
able to do can stop the loss. They are
beginning to say they would not be sur
prised to see a landslide against the adj
ministration..
THE democrats. on the other hand are
more enthusiastic than l have ever seen.

FOR A RUINED HOME
A Greenville Man Asks S15,-
900 Dam 9ges.
The Suit is Agains! District Attorney 8erna
and Was Argu,d Yesterday in the
Supr me Court.

In the Supreme court yesterday the case
of Sheppard VS.. Bernard was argued.
This is an action brought by B. S. Shep-
pard, of Pitt county, against c. M. Ber-
nard, United States district attorney, of
this city, damages in the amount of
$4,000 for alternating his wifes affections
and destroying his home.
The action was started nearly year
ago, Immediately after Sheppard tried to
shoot Bernard al Greenville.
The plaintiff in January filed verified
bill and swore to it. in which he recited
the ruin of his home by Bernard.
BY way of answer Bernard filed a dila-
tory plea asking for specified times and
accusations, which of course Sheppard
could not give, and upon this the case
went to the Supreme court.
In the meantime, however, Bernard con-
tinues to hold his office under Mckinley
and there is no investigation of the
charges against him or deterioration of
his influence and standing in the party.
How can such a party expect to gain
strength and influence among decent peo-
pie?
