GREENVILLE. CRITICISED.
TWO Trustees OF Female College
Claim Little Interest in School is
Shown.

Greenville, May 15.-During the
college day celebration here today,
DR.. c. c. Brown. Of Sumter, and Mr..
J. j. Gentry, Of Spartanburg, both
trustees of the Greenville Female
College, took occasion to criticise Sc
verely the apparent lack Of interest
on the part of Greenville people for
the educational institutions here.
Mr.. Gentry declared that there were
other places in South Carolina who
would like to have the Greenville Fe-
male College, and he felt sure they
would take closer interest in the
welfare Of the institution than it
seemed to get in Greenville. He ask
ed where three absent trustees were
and why there were not more visit
ors In the auditorium. The trustees
happened to be Greenville men and
President James explained exactly
why they were not present.
Greenville people are rather indig-
nant at this criticism, for, as they
point out, both Furman University
and the Greenvillle Female College
have always received very liberal
financial support from the people Of
this city, without regard to denomi-
national lines.

subject Of Grover Cleveland, he broke

ly You may set all minds 5. rest
as to my opinion of Cleveland by
saying that it mas not changed one
iota since my first speech in the sem
ate denouncing him. would rather
the Democratic party would now be
defeated than to be victorious with
Cleveland or any man like him at its
mead, and I was quite sure that no
matter what the condition of his
health, should he be nominated he
would be beaten worse than Parker
was. I am at loss to understand
now man usually so acurate as Mr..
Kohn is, should have so misuuoted
me. So far as I now recall never
mentioned Cleveland to him the other
day. I certainly did not say that un-
der any circumstances I would favor
his nomination or the nomination of
any man like him. What I did say
was that Wall street would welcome
one of the old plutocrats as the DEM
ocratic nominee, preferring to sup
port such so-called Democratic
than Taft, who will be the Republi-
can nominee, or Bryan who will be
the Democratic nominee, and that If
the Democratic party could unite up
on one Of these Eastern plutocrats.
which it will Of course not do, then
Taft would be easily defeated.
Il am, OF course, for Bryan as the
nominee Of Denver, and I am satisfied
that South Carolina's delegates will
be for Bryan, but am opposed to in
structing them because our convent
ion Is not going to send men to Dem
yer who can bamboozled or bought
and instructions are necessary.
Now. having been goaded into
this thing. I am going to tell you
what think about this tempest in a
tea pot about instructing delegation.
Gonzales wants to make 1t appear
that he Is the biggest Bryan man in
the State 80 that If Bryan is elected
the editor Of The State can control
the South Carolina patronage. The
trouble with Hemphill is, that he has
never been able to see anything in
Cleveland but demigod and he op-
posed Bryan in 1895. and he is Of the
kind who never changes his mind.
Hemphill was in the wrong then and
to support Bryan now might appear
an admission that he was wrong.
That's the whole cause Of the mighty
over instructions" Zack McGhee.

HIBERNIANS NOT
ALLOWED TO ATTEN D
CATHOLIC RECTOR REFUSES TO
CONDUCT FUNERAL UNLESS
THE ORDER OF HlBERNIANs is
BARRED FROM SERVICES.

Philadelphia, January members of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians were
stirred today by the refusal of the Rev.
D. |. McDermott, rector of st. Mary 5
Roman Catholic church, TO permit funeral
services to be held in his church over
the remains of John DAILY, a parishioner,
because a Hibernian lodge had been IN
vited to attend the obseques. The fu-
neral was to have been held yesterday
but had to be postponed. Father MeDer-
mott said he would permit the funeral to
take place from st. Marys only on con-
diton that the invitation to the Hiber-
mans be revoked. The widow of DAILY
agreed, and in the funeral notice printed
today it was stated that the invitation
to the Ancient Order of Hibernians to
attend the funeral is hereby revoked.
The funeral was held from the church
today without the presence of the Hiber-
mans.
Father McDermott, in explaining his
opposition to the society, said:
MY absolute opposition to the Ancient
Order of IIbernians is based on my
knowledge and the facts in my possess
sion about the Molly Maguires. which
got directly from the condemned Molly
Maguires themselves. No power on earth
