The "Jim Crow" or seperate car bill was passed by the senate yester day and is now a law. It reads as follows: Section 1. That all railway and steamboat companies, as common car- iiers in the transportation of passen gers for hire in North Carolina, other than street railways, shall provide seperate, but equal, accommodations for the white and colored races on all passenger trains and steamboats car rying passengers. Such accommoda tions may be furnished by railway companies either by seperate passen ger cars, or by compartments in pas senger cars, which shall be provided by the railways under the supervision and direction of the board of railway commissioners or the officers succeed ing to their powers: Provided, that this shall not apply to relief trains in cases of accident, to Pullman or sleep ing cars or through express trains that do not stop at all stations and are not uaed ordinarily for traveling from sta tlon to station; to negro servants in attendance on their employers; to offl cers or guards transporting prisoners, nor to prisoners so transported. Sec. 2. The railway commissioners, or the officers succeeding to their pow ers, are hereby authorized to exempt from the provisions of this act branch lines and narrow guage railways, if in their judgement the enforcement of this act be unnecessary to secure the comfort of passengers, by reason of the light volume of passenger traffic or the small number of negro passengers traveling on such narrow guage or branch lines. Sec. 3. That when any coach, or compartment of a car, for either race shall be completely filled at a station where no extra coach or car can be had and the increased number of passen gers cannot be foreseen the conductor in charge of such train is hereby au thorized to assign and set apart a por tion of a car, or compartment, assign ed for passengers of the race to pas sengers of the other race. Sec. 4 That all railway companies shall furnish first and second class passenger accommodations. Sec. 5. That any railway company failing to comply in good faith with the provisions of this act shall be lia ble to a penalty of 8100 per day, to be recovered in an action brought against such company by the railway commis sioners, or the officers succeeding to their powers, in the county of Wake, and covered into the 6tate treasury. Sec. 6. This act shall be in force from and after its ratification. "FOPULAR" is the name of a line of ladles' oxfords made by the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Co , of St. Louis, one of the largest shoe houses in the world, doing a business of five to six million dollars annually. This line is rightly named the "popular," as it Is beyond doubt one of the best and most popular lines of ladies' low shoes in the country. Scores of ladies here in Greensboro have worn this make for the last three or four years and posi tively won't buy any other kind when they can get the "popular." One rea son why these oxfords are "popular" is because th y fit and "feel good" the first time they are worn. For a neat, dressy shoe that will do for both street and home wear we recommend the new Coin toe, while if you want only solid comfort regardless of appearance we can give you the "popular" in regu lar wide bottom, low heeled common sense style. Th acker & Brockmann. A Close Shave. Tom O'Connor, who drives one of the Steam Laundry's delivery wagons came near being seriously hurt this morning. He was driving through a hanging gate in the rear of the Ben bow House, when, .the gate weights not being sufficiently heavy, the gate fell, catching O'Connor's neck between and the top of his wagon. The fall frightened the horse, which jumped forward. Had the gate been a strong one the driver's head would no doubt have been clipped off In short order, but fortunately the old gate gave way and the O'Connor came out of the wreck little the worse for his experi ence.

Bj Cable to the Telegram. Rome, Mar. 2 The Pope passed a good night. He took a little soup and brandy at midnight and fell asleep. The fever Increased somewhat during the night, but Lapponi says this is usually the case after such an opera tion and sleep will do the most to restore strength.

Paris, Mar. 2 A Rome despatch to Figar says that before yielding him self to the surgeon yesterday the Pope had strength enough to kneel and of fer a short prayer. His holiness suf fered severely during the operation. His cries were distinctly heard in the adjacent room.

By Wire to the Telegram. Washington, Mar. 2 The business in congress from now until Saturday noon will be done almost altogether in conference committees. The fate of the Nicaragua canal is in the hands of six men representing the two branches of congress. Unless the compromise suggested" yesterday is accepted by the senate, conference agreement on the canal proposition is not likely to be reached. In the senate Mr. Hale presented the conference report on the naval per sonnel! bill, agreed to. The conferrees on the river and har bor bill have agreed to allow to stand the forty foot channel in New York harbor The house conferrees are contesting the senate amendments at every step.

First Game of Ball. Oak Ridge, March 2nd. Editor Telegram: The first game of base ball of the season, to be played in Greensboro, will probably be on the 29th Inst., between Cornell Univer sity and Oak Ridge Institute. As Cornell University is one of the lead ing northern colleges in point-of ath letics, a good game may be expected. Oak Ridge Institute defeated Johns- Hopkins at Greensboro last year, and her team Is thought to be stronger this season than last, so no one need doubt that she will put up a strong game. Oak Ridge has games scheduled with the University of N. C, Trinity Col lege, The Agricultural and Mechani cal College, at Raleigh, Roanoke Col lege, (Oak Ridge, April 16th,) Wake Forest College, and Horner's School. It has made efforts to get a gszng with Guilford College, and Bingham, but so far has not succeeded. The team s allowed to six games away from Oak Ridge, and two of these must be on Saturdays. XYZ. The Seminole Play. The Seminole Herbal Remedy Co. played to a good audience of men last night at the Greensboro opera house. The entertainment opened up with a comedy, -entitled, "The Wood Mer chant," and it was very laughable. The Doctor talked a while and then the fun went on. Mr. Dan Nash, as a change artist, is a wonder, and Mr. Besley, as a black-face comedian, is hard to beat. His banjo solos are good. The Doctor expressed his sur prise and sorrow at not seeing any ladles In the audience, and said he hoped to see some there tonight. The show last night was perfectly clean and moral and if it continues that way ladies need not be afraid to attend. It is equally as good as the average popular-price comedy company, and was, last night, a great deal cleaner than some. Hustling South Elm. Lower South Elm street has a de cidedly busy appearance just now. Not that bustle and stir is a new thing in that part of town for "hust'e" is the word down there, but just now things look unusually lively. A. small confectionery store is being put up, Mr.Voltz is erecting a bake oven with bakery In front, and last, but by no means least, Manager Tom McAdoo is having some mammoth telephone poles erected. These are the largest and longest poles ever used in Greens boro and putting one in place is far from an easy task. It requires a doz en muscular men and a good deal of time and the work attracts a large crowd of spectators. They Leave Hong Kong. By Cable to Thb Tklbgram.

River and Harbor Bill Will Become a Law Bill Passed to Pay States for Fitting Out Troops. Special to the Telegram. Washington, Mar. 2 The closing days of congress are characterized by the usual rush. Members in both the house and senate are making much confusion in their efforts to get local bills through before noon Saturday. Most of the time in the house is -occupied during these latter days of the session in acting on the appropriation bills as they are rushed over from the senate side of the capitol, and in acting on conference reports on various bills as they are presented. At intervals when the work lulls or drags, members clamor in front of the speaker's desk, erowding the space in front, in their efforts to secure recognition. The speaker is fair in his recognition of the members, taking his usual care to recognize only those members who have important measures, or measures which are worthy and have some spe-J cial feature to recommend them. He first recognizes gentlemen on one side and then on -the opposite side of the house. The south seems to be faring very well so far as loca1 legislation is con cerned during these closing hours. The bill to reimburse the states for the equipment of troops during the Span ish war, which claims were held up by the treasury department, has gone to the president, and is a measure in which. Virginia, North and South Carolina and othen southern states are particularly interested. The river and harbor bill, in which perhaps the south has more at stake than any other section, will become a law with an item for the construction of the Nicaraguan canal, though the latter amendment will be considerably cut down. The bill known as the omnibus claims bill, which makes provision for the payment of a large number of southern claims has gone to the presi dent, and will become a law before Saturday noon. In addition to these important measures, in which the south is indirectly interested, within the past day or two, a large number of bills for the erection of public build ings in the south have passed both houses and gone to the president for approval. The bill for the reimbursement of the southern states for their claims in connection with the Spanish war, passed both houses yesterday, a full agreement being reached by the con ference committee which had charge of the measure. The bill provides for the payment of the claims of Virginia, North and South Carolina and other southern states. The president, who, it is said, suggested the passage of the bill through congress, will give the measure his prompt approval, and the treasury department, it is understood, will allow the claims at once. Senator Daniel's amendment for the payment of five thousand dollars to pay the legal representatives of the late James Crooks and William Crooks, of the United States and Canada, for the value of the vessel known as the 'Lord Nelson," illegally seized by Lieutenant Woolsey, of the Uniied States navy, on Lake Ontario, June 6, 1812, failed to get on the naval appro priation bill, as the senator from Vir ginia at first intended. He has intro duced the amendment and hopes to get t upon the general deficiency bill. Judge Simonton, it is thought, will soon retire from the bench on account of illness. Senator -McLaurin, of South Carolina, is prominently men tioned for the judgeship, as is also Senator Pritohard, of North Carolina. It is said on good authority that Mc Laurin will be a candidate if Judge Simonton retires. Senator Pritchard says that the war department will issue the orders mus tering out the First North Carolina regiment within one week. The appointment oi Mr. ueeves, oi Illinois, as a member of the river and harbor committee was a surprise, as it was thought Mr. Cooper, of Wiscon sin, who has the right of priority, would go on the committee. It is understood that Mr. uooper was ex cused from serving on the committee at his own request. Postomoe has been established at Uno, Henderson county, North Caro lina. Postmasters have been commissioned in North Carolina: - Joseph H. House, Balsam Grove; Jasper Y. Yelton, Golden; Gideon S. Smoot, Austin; Mollie L. Shores, Grant; Mack G. Bryan, Winterville; C.
