pretty boquet of flowers between

Washington, July 14.-One of
the most noteworthy incidents of
the week was the issue of a new
$4,000 gold certificate by the
Bureau of Engraving and printing.
The total issue amounted to $40,
100000 consisting of four thous-
and $4,000 bills. The ordinary
man absolutely no conception of
the magnitude of $40,000O00, and
very few Negroes. with the posi-
BILE exception of some of our edi-
tors and correspondents, ever
saw or handled a 10000 dollar bill.
The most remarkable thing connect
ed with the incident is that the
signature of w. T. Vernon, Regis
ter of the treasury appears on each
of these 10000 dollar beauties
thus legalizing the issue. During
the Spanish American war, a reg
iment of Southern troops refused
to accept their pay from Paymas-
ter John r. Lynch, because of his
color, and a few were foolish
enough to kick on bills bearing
signature of two Negro Registers
of the treasury, B. K Bruce and
j. W. Lyons. Some of these moss
backs will never be able to even
catch a glimpse of the new ten
thousand "butes" being the sig
nature of wv. T. Verncn, Regis

JUSTICE IN 50. CAROLINA

Because he was violently elected
from trolley car for taking his seat
beside white woman, Hudson
johnson, fifty year old Negro of
this city, was awarded in the COM
mon pleas court here yesterday
damages against the Greenville
Traction Company in the sum of
$500 He had asked for So, 900.
No other cases were heard in the
court yesterday. 1t was convened
at 10 O'Clock, with Judge R. o.
Purdy, of the Third Circuit, presid-
ing, for a two weeks term. While
the jury was out several orders
were taken in discontinuance and
reference, and counsel was heard in
argument on a motion to amend.
Hudson johnson, represented by
Messrs. Maudlin & Townes, alleged
that last October he boarded a belt
car and paid his fare, taking "a va
cant seat in an orderly and peace
able manner; that the conductor,
after having directed him to 90 in
side and soon after the plaintiff
had taken his seat, came into the
car, Jerked the plaintiff violently
from his seat, presented a pistol at
him, and kicked and beat him. sub
Jecting him to grievous bodily hurt
and great humiliation, all to his
damage $4,000.
The traction company, in its an
swer, said that the plaintiff, who
was a colored man, did enter one
OF its cars on the day alleged, but
was intoxicated, and instead of tax
ing his seat upon one of the benches
on which no one sat, dropped upon
one occupied by white lady: that
when told to take another, he began
to curse the conductor, who there
upon took him by the arm and led
him to the rear of the car, the Ne
gros still cursing and otherwise mis-
behaving; that the Negro was not
abused by the conductor Griev-
Gus bodily injury is denied, and
it is stated that defendant had no
means of knowing the degree of
mental anguish, humiliation, etc,
suffered by johnson.
Considerable testimony was in
troduced and ingenious pleadings
were made. The attorneys for the
plaintiff implored the jury to neg
lect altogether the fact that the
plaintiff was Negro, or at least to
remember that he was an old dar-
key, of the slavery times type,
not an impudent product of the
modern regime. That this plea had
weight with the jury the verdict
shows.-Greenville News.

The Catholic church in America
has decided to establish a Negro
bureau, simular to the Indian bu-
reau. In this connection the Ma
tional Mirror, a Negro paper pub.
lished in Kansas City says: There
are those among us who believe in
and subscribe to the doctrine of the
Catholic religious denomination
and there is little occasion for sur
prise when it is remembered that
the Catholics have always been in
advance of other denominations in
their relation to the race question.
1t is said that in the dark days of
slavery the Catholic denomination
was about the only one whose
clergy was not numbered among
the slave-owners.'

All companies of both the first and
second regiments of the Journal Cadet
regiments have made good progress the
past week. Their drills show much
snap and life, and the awkwardness is
disappearing gradually. Many recruits
Joined and there will be special drills
for these as well as cadets who are
backward in mastering the foot move
ments
For some inexplicable reason the leg
gings, which were ordered from New
York month ago, have failed to ar
rive, altho word has been received that
they were shipped by express Tuesday.
IF they arrive in time to be distributed,
all the cadets having uniforms will be
asked to turn out with the Journal
Newsboys band Friday at noon to make
parade for the purpose of helping to
boom the entertainment for the benefit
of the California sufferers to- be given
that afternoon at the Metropolitan
operahouse. The parade will give the
boys good practice. and they will
doubtless be glad of the opportunity
of helping to swell the fund that Min

What 3 that? said the Pony who had been looking
out OF the stable door and had heard every word Listen
to me, and don't do anything foolish Kettles won +
