BISHOP CHEsH1RE's HAzING.
Story of His Reception of Crowd Of Roughs
in Northern College.

The Baltimore Sun of the 18th relates
this incident of how Bishop Cheshire, of
this city. defied some would-b hazers
when he was student in a Northern col
lege:
Major William NJ. Pegram, of Balti-
more. tells good story illustrating how
the nerve developed in the Civil War en-
abIed a young Southerner to defy hazers
in a Northern college.
THE young soldier was Joseph B. Ches-
hire, now Protestant Episcopal Bishop of
North Carolina. At the close of the war,
in which he served with distinguished
gallantry, he was but seventeen years old
Deciding to enter the ministry, he went
to Trinity College, Hartford, Conn.,, taking
with him his we'll worn gray overcoat
and his army revolver
while alone in his room at the col
lege one evening not long after his ar
rival, Mr. Cheshire received an unusual
number of visitors. One by one students
dropped in till nearly score were in
his room. He OWNED their purpose but
received them courteously. Finally one
remarked: I suppose you know what we
have come for?' At the same time he
locked the door and put the key in his
pocket While this was going on Mr.
Cheshire had backed quietly to his desk,
Raising his revolver he gave the COM
nland with military terseness Unlock
the door file out one by one! The young
men, seeing the stripping student sud-
denly transformed into the trained SOL
der, knew there was nothing to do but
obey the man they had come to humil-
late. AS the last one left Mr.. Cheshire
said politely: L hope you have had a
pleasant evening, gentlemen. Call again.

LAURA M. AVERY, President.
'LUE VIRGINIA TATE, Sec. and Treas
This movement. though started by the
patriotic women of Morganton meets with
a hearty second from those of Raleigh,
and it is a step so eminently just and
proper that it should receive substantial
endorsement from all the people of North
Carolina.
He is worthy of it. His life and his best
efforts were given to the cause of the
Confederacy. Though a mere lad, he left
school and volunteered early in the con-
f1ict and became Sergeant Major of the
47th North Carolina regiment. During
the memorable campaigns in Virginia he
bore himself with conspicuous bravery.
At the battle of Reams Station. he was
desperately wounded, being shot through
the lungs, and all the rest of his life
was constant sufferer from the effects
of the wound.
And when the conflict was over, he came
back to help rebuild the fallen fortunes
of the South and cheer, as best he could,
his sick and wounded comrades in arms.
And this was the work that ever lay
nearest to his heart, and to which, during
the past fifteen years, no inconsiderable
part of his time has been devoted-an
unceasing effort to ameliorate the condi-
ton of the surviving destitute Confederate
soldiers of North Carolina. To this work
he gave his constant labor freely, with
out thought of self or hope of regard
Every destitute Confederate soldier in
the State instinctively turned to him for
relief, and every worthy applicant always
found frind To him, more than to any
other North Carolinian, is due the estab-
lishment and maintenance of the Soldiers
Home at Raleigh, he was the main fac
tor in securing from the State an appro-
priation for it's support; he was also ac-
tive in securing legislation which grant
ed pensions to disabled veterans and the
widows of Confederate soldiers.
To such a man too much honor cannot
be done, too high tribute cannot be paid

over degrees; the temperatures ranged
between rs degrees and 81 degrees.
Light frosts occurred on several dates,
especially Friday morning, the 18th, but
the damage done was comparatively
slight, aside from the check in growth
of young plants and strawberries. The
week, fortunately, was quite dry until
the general rains on Saturday, which
averaged an inch in the central-west
portion, but much less elsewhere. This
rain was quite beneficial, for the high
winds early in the week had rapidly
dried out and hardened the SOIL making
it hard to pillow. The amount of sunshine
was abundant, but the pressing need
now is warmer weather and less wind.
Farm work made considerable progress
in spite of the uncomfortable conditions
under which the work was carried on,
and much planting was accomplished

Large amounts of fertilizers have been
spread, but much of this work remains
to be done.

MOVE FOR A LARGER CANAL.
Albany, N. r, June 2s.- State Engin-
eel Bond is authority for the state
ment that a few days ago he received
a visit from two engineers who
brought him a letter of introduction
from Hay, secretary of state. $. These
gentlemen said their object was to Sc
cure a copy of Bonds recent elaborate
report upon the probable cost Of CON
structing a. barge canal across the
state. They stated that practically
every state in the northwest was in
favor Of the construction of a larger
canal over this state for the sake of
lowering the cost Of transportation of
western products to eastern markets.
The failure of canal men in this state
last winter to come to any agreement
upon plan for canal improvement was
discouraging to western shippers and
therefore they now thought an appeal
should be made to congress to improve
the canal in New York at the expense
of every state in the union.

Washington, June 28.-Justice Brad

the Manila Bay, and Santiago Bay
prize cases. The decision is in favor
of the claimants as to the vessels cap.
tured and as to property taken from
vessels SO captured, but against them
as to property captured ashore. The
decision holds that vessels sunk and
afterward raised were captured and
not destroyed; that property captured
ashore is not subject to prize; that the
property taken from vessels sunk and
not claimed as prize and for which
bounty was given is prize; that the
cascoes or cargo boats and all floating
derricks that were captured at Manila
are not prize. @'.., ,y ~ - g. F.:
The Santiago case hinges on the
Manila decision. According to counsel
the claimants in the Manila case re-
ceive a total Of s2Ss,000, divided
among about 1000 persons; and the
claimants in the Santiago case will
get in the neighborhood of $500,000,
