MICE CAUSE CHOIR STRIKE.
Young Women Refuse to Sing Until
Playful Animals are Killed.

A Homestead, Pa, dispatch says:
Because playful mice last Sunday
evening cavorted around the feet of
fair members Of the choir in the
Fourth Avenue Methodist Episcopal
church, they have served notice that
there will be no more choir singing
until they are furnished affidavits
that every mouse in that corner, of
the church given up to the choir has
been killed. The fair strikers refuse
to even go near the church to prac-
tice. 1t appears that the mice liked
the church music, and a nest of them
near the choir box last Sunday came
out and began to cut capers with the
choir, consisting of four young men
and four young women, when the first
soprano, reaching for a high note
trailed off into shrek which set
most of the congregation to wonder
ing, and the soprano set down with a
thud and was seen to be holding her
feet up and shivering. A moment
later the alto was seen to climb on a
chair. After the service notice Of
the strike came.

COAST is SWEPT BY STORM.
Hundreds of Frightened People Hur'
riei 10 Wilmington.

Wilmington, N. c., July SO A
northeast storm that had been pre-
dicted for several days struck Will
mington and vicinity last night and
did much damage. At Wrightsville
Beach the elements prevailed in a
furious manner, the waters dashing
far up on the shore from both sides
of the beach and the wild wind blow
ing at a terrible rate.
About midnight the trolley and
| other electric wires went down, leav-
ing the beach without car service and
plunging everything into blackness.
This caused great excitement, but
steam trains were run down to the
city and over dangerous looking tres
ties and hundreds of badly alarmed
people brought to Wilmington. s
This morning the storm increased
in fury, and the trains, running over
trestles almost washed away, brought
several hundred more. At $50
o'clock the train made Its last trip,
as the trestle was then deemed un-
safe. ..s.....,.... .-.... ...,. -,.,. .....,..
Several hundred people were left
on the beach, but remained there in
tending to take later train.
Many people were on the beach,
some at cottages and others at the
| hotels, but so far as can be ascer-
tanned all came up to the city early
this morning and ORC cofo tbonob
their baggage is still at the beach.

while howls Of execration went up
from all sides of the hall.
Quiet was long time coming, but
when it finally arrived Chairman
Welsh ruled that inasmuch as Mr..
Sheppard had attempted to nominate
a man who was not a member of the
independence party he was out of
order.
A frantic yell Of approval went up
from the convention. Sheppard in
stantly attempted to leave the plat
form and Sergeant-at-Arms Frank
Brust and Max Annenburg, realizing
what might happen to Sheppard,
stood close to his side as he started
down the aisle.
Sheppard I'm Danger.
Instantly. a crowd Of delegates, all
Of them in an ugly mood, closed in
and for minute or two Sheppard
was in actual danger.
Brust and Armstrong almost car
ried him and fought their way foot
by foot along the passageway. John
Daily, a delegate from New York
City, struck at Sheppard with cane,
and II the blow had not been inter-
cepted might have seriously injured
him. Sheppard was taken to the
door and told to leave the hall. He
lost no time in obeying the injunc-
tion. The Kansas delegation prompt
ly voted for Sheppard's removal from
the national committee, and the in
cident was closed.
The Independence party national
committee selected William Randolph
Hearst as chairman to handle the
campaign between now and Novem-
ber 3; G. f. Walsh, Of Iowa, is secre-
tary, and s. G. f. 8. Neil, of Indiana
and NJ. w. Howard, of Alabama, are

THAT NEGRO NOTARY PUBLIC.
Governor Ansel Appointed Negro No
tary--So Did Other Governors.

1t is said that the political oppo-
nents of Governor Ansel have been
attempting to make capital out OF
the fact that he appointed Green
vile negro notary public. The negro
in question Is j. e. Parkins, and he
was given, the place upon the recon-
mendation of well known citizens of
Greenville. 1t is held by the Cover
nor's friends that this action is not
without precedentN as several other
Governors have appointed negroes to
this office.
Printed below Is an endorsement
OF Parkins's application for the ap-
pointment, and also some correspond
ence between Governor Ansel's sec
retary and the private secretaries Of
other Governors:

To Hon. M. F. Ansel, Governor: -
The petition of j. e. Parkins, of
the county and State aforesaid, re-
spectfully shows you: \
First. That he is a citizen and
qualified elector residing in the coun-
ty and State aforesaid.

pointed notary public in and for

Wherefore, he prays that he, may
be appointed to said position, and

Il prSu fn
lumbia, S. C.--Dear Sir: Your letter
of July 18th, stating that the records
in the Governors office show that
during the administration of Cover
nor Ellerbe, in exceptional cases,
few colored men who were ei good
character and qualified electors under
the constitution and strongly endors-
ed by good white citizens, were ap-
pointed notaries public, has been re-
ceived. In reply wish to state that
this is true. 1t Is the usual custom
and was the policy of the Governor
under whom i served to thoroughly
investigate all such applications, and
where they were found to be all right,
and those who endorsed them urged
their appointment, the appointment
was made. OF course it Is not a gem
eral practice to make such appoint
ments, but they are made under the
circumstances stated above.
With kind regards, am,
Yours very truly,

A. ]. Bethea, Private Secretary, CO.
lumbia, S. C.--Dear Sir: During Gov
ernor Heywards administration 1t
was his fixed rule not to appoint a
colored notary unless he deemed the
circumstances requesting this ap-
pointment most exceptional. A no.
tary was never appointed unless the
application was accompanied by the
endorsement of representative citi-
zens Of the community In which the
applicant lived.
At the personal and urgent request
of leading prominent and represen-
tative citizens Governor Hayward did
in one of two cases, appoint colored
men to the office of notary public.
AS have said above these were most
exceptional cases, and am sure that
an investigation of the record of the
office and Of the attendant circum-
stances will cause no criticism what
ever of Governor Heyward's action In
these few cases.
Yours very truly,
