HANGED AT FLORENCE.

julius Gibbes, the negro who was
tried rnd convicted before Judge Pur-
dy at Florence on March 31st for the
crime of rape, was executed Friday.
Everything was quiet and orderly.
Several hundred people, white and
colored, congregated about the jail for
curiosity, but only a few witnessed
the execution.
Gibbes slept little the night before,
and ate hardly anything for breakfast
When summoned for the execution he
was kneeling in prayer as i,e had been
most of the morning. He appeared
weak from nervousness, and DR.. Gregg
who felt his pulse said it was los.
Besides saying, Good-bye. Good
bye'' the only other words that he is
reported to have spoken at the execu-
tion was, 'Tell all my people to meet
me in heaven
There was not one of Gibbes's rela-
tives present to witness the execu-
tion, or to claim the body, so it was
buried in Potters' field.

who resented the Withdrawal of the
child from the White House grounds,
where she was annoyed by slghtseers

How s;.rs. Andrew simonds Gut
witied Her Rivals.

With a woman's wit, Mrs. Andrew
Simonds has dealt fearful blow TO
the St. Cecilia society She used
President Roosevelt as a cudgci, but
ne knew It not until the stroke was
delivered
Mrs. Simonds' husband is the presi-
dent Of the First National Bank and
one of tie wealthiest men IL Charles
ton. Size traces her lineage well into
the medieval ages, but not far
enough for all that, and the St.
Cecilians look askance upon her arls-
President Roosevelt did not know
that. It was one of the things his
instructors as to South Carolina had
overlooked. When he stopped yester-
day at Summerville, the bankers wife
was one of the first On board to greet
the visitor.
eve are certainly glad to see you, :"
she cried. You must come right up
to luncheon with me. -
Many St. Cecilians had climbed
aboard the Algonquin, the revenue
cutter. All stood back aghast. Some
raised their hands in dread at such
audacity. A woman not Of the St.
Cecilians- who dared inviteathe presi-
dent to luncheon before the select So
ciety had feted him!
It seemed preposterous, but never
theless it was true. Mrs. Simonds
stood smiling happily, and then-oh,
horror of horrors. The president &C
cepted her invitation. Like q queen
leading visiting prince among her
peasants, Mrs. Simonds conducted Col
onel Roosevelt through the gaping st.
Cecilians to her carriage, and few
miutes later he was sitting at one Of
the daintiest repasts he had ever
known.
This wonderful woman had ordered
it before she went to the train to meet
him.
The war between the St. Cecilians
and Mrs. Simonds is Of old standing,
but heretofore tie organization has
had great advantage in point of num-
bers and prestige. The society is sup
posed to be the most select in Amer
lea, and certain members seemed to
take perfect delight in snubbing, or
rather trying to snub, the bankers
wife.
The most recent engagement between
the lone fighter and the st Cecilans
was a few days before ball was given
by the Colonial Danes to visiting
D.. A. r. IS. Mrs. Simonds was in
yited as a matter Of course, but the St.
went to the chairman Of the
ball committee and told her that the
invitation would have to be revoked.
The chairman did not dare disobey,
and Mrs. Simonds went to Florida,
vowing she would be avenged. She
feels satisfied now.-Cbarleston dis

FRANCES HOARD OF GOLD.

Next to the United States Treasury
the largest accumulation Of gold in
the world is held by the Bank Of
France. As reported last Thursday, it
held 9l02, $50, 451, or roughly speak
ing, in our money S5l3, 297, 235. This
is practically three times as much as
held by the Bank of England, besides
which the bank contained 9444, 23S,
9OS in silver, about S22l, l94,
$40. This constituted very large
specie reserve against its note issue.
On the first week Of April the note
issue amounted in round numbers to
1885, 600, 600, SO that the gold reserve
was 81 per cent, with the addition
of the silver there was specie reserve
of about 81 per cent. against all the
outstanding notes.
