Chicago, June l.-Herman Schaeff

signment in the county court thi3
morning. No statement of the af
fairs of the bank have been filed
with the application for the re
ceiver. It is stated that the credi
tors of the bank shall loose nothing.
Attorney Levy Mayer, representing
the assignee stated this morning
that even in the event of forced
liquidation, there will be enough
money to meet all liabilities. The
firm was considered one of the
most solid private banks in the
country. It did a small deposit

greatest business was commercial

State at present has no funds
wherewith to meet the exingency,
therefore the Governor is obliged

Literary Notes.
The Review of Reviews for the month
of J une is a number which nobody who
intends to go to the World's Fair at any
time can well afford to be without. The
Revew of Reviews sent as its special
representative to Chicago, in May, Mr.
rrnesx jnaunc, a well known art
teacher of Xew York, who is also a
writer upon art subjects and who is
known throughout the country as the
very successful and sympathetic direc
tor of the art studies at Chataunua
from summer to summer. The articles
contributed by Mr. Knaufft serves as
an excellent general guide to the art
department and as auxiliary to the more
formal catalogue which gives the nam.s
and number of the pictures
Another important feature of the
June number of the Review of Reviews
is a well written forecast of all the
principal conven ions and gatherings to
be held through the summer and autumn
of 1893, particular attention being
given to the forthcoming World's Con
gresses and other gatherings which will
be aJhliated with such congresses at
Chicago. An especially timely feature
of the number is an article on transit
By Southern Associated Press'.
Chicago, Ills., June 3. The
World's Fair will be open at least
one more Sunday, despite the pro
ceedings that have occupied the at
tention of the United States Court
during the present week. Judge
Woods announeed this morning that
there were several law points in
volved in the arguments that re
quired careful attention and consid
eration, ana mat in consequence
tne uourc naa aeciaea to take no
immediate action. All parties to
the case were instructed to appear
in Court at 10 o'clock Thursday
morning when a decision will be
rendered. The Court added that
pending the rendering of the nnal
decision, it would take no action on
any of he side motions submitted
to it. This puts a quietus on the
motion of attorney C'eland, who
was representing the Illinois Sab
... .
oata Association ior a temporary
injunction restraining the Directors
from opening tomorrow, and which
it had been intended to Dross on
j new grounds had the decision been
rendered today against the Govern
ment, as soon as the uourt s an
nouncement had been made, it a
once adjournedfor the day and the
audience filed cut. The Sunday
closing advocates who were presen
in large numbers evidenced by their
manner of remarks that they were
exceedingly disappointed over the
result, while the other side were
correspondingly jubilant. Arrange
ments have been made by the fair
authorities for handling an immense
crowd tomorrow, and if the weather
is favorable it is thought that the
attendance will be double that of
last Sunday.

The leading articles in this number of
the Review have a wide range of inter
est, and the editorial department, the
Progress of the World, will attract at
tention from its lucid discuesion of the

United States and o'her countries. This
number of the Review is illustrated
with perhaps even mere pictures than

each month in securing the verdict "in

Notes From Pamlico.
Bayboro, N. C, May 30th, 1893.
The Superior Court for Pamlico
county was in session here last
week, his Honor John Gray Bynum
Judge, presiding. We hear him
complimented on all sides as being
a fair and impartial Judge. Even
some of the evil doers who feel the
halter of the law draw on them Bay
he seems to be a just and upright
Judge. This is all that could be
said and is the grandest compliment
that could be paid. Judge Bynum
has left Pamlico, leaving behind
him the reputation of being a just
and upright Judge. The Court
was somewhat longer than the
Spring Courts generally are, owing
to a large criminal docket. A good
many fights growing out of politics
here last fall, owing to the third
party movement, which put brother
against brother, and father against
son; and just here let me add that
the Third partyites are at work just
as hard as they were last Fall, hold
mg togetner tneir organization.
j Some few have deserted them, while
some disappointed office-seekers
have gone over to them; but Pamli
co will be in the Democratic line
when the general roll is called in
1894, if those who have been elected
and put iu charge of affairs will do
their duty, and not handicap our
Democratic leaders and workers.
The members of the bar attend
ing thjs court were Hons. F. M.
Simmons, L. J. Moore, W. W. Clark,
O. H. Guion, Jas. W. Waters, W. D.
Mclver and W. D. W. Stevenson of
the New Bsrne bar. Solicitor
Blount was on nand looking better
than for many years. We would
be glad to see Mr. Blount continue
S3 Solicitor, but we are afraid he
will have to yied to some one else
this year. He has been Solicitor
for twelve years, or will when he
serves this term, which is his third
term; he has made a good Solicitor.
I forgot to say that our countryman
Hon. W. T. Caho, was present at
court. We could not have a court
without Mr Caho, for he is on one
side or the other of over two-thirds
of all the cases on the docket, he is
indispensible in both the courts,
and politics of Pamlico county.
Our people are fairly under way
giving digging and shipping their
Irish potatoes. The acreage yield
being about forty barrels per acre,
the prices are about from $1.50 to
$2.00 per barrel now. It our people
can get those prices it will help a
great deal towards relieving the
financial troubles. A very large
crop of potatoes was planted here,
and the yield is fairly good; all
crops are looking well except the
cotton; it has been too cold for cot
ton up to now.
Our people (I mean we Demo
crats) are anxious to see the rascals
out; the longer they are allowed to
remain in office the harder work it
puts on our shoulders to carry the
State in the next election. We want
every office filled with a good Dem
ocrat, and the sooner the better for
Democracy in this section. We have
lots of little posteffices that should
be filled, and at once. We believe
if Mr. Cleveland could see the situ
ation just as we see it, he would not
be long in making the changes.

dose of medicine of any kind in that
tiie. Up to that time for several years
I poured down every abomination that
doctors, druggists and old women sug
geted in the vain hope of recovering
my lost health. I went down hill all the
time and was fast sinking into the
grave
On purchasing the Electropoise 1 quit
all medicine "square off," and as care
fully as I could followed directions for
Electropoise treatment. Diabetes had
depleted my system, ar,d an impover
ished state of the blood caused numer
ous carbuncles of tha most serious and
long standing nature. I suffered in this
condition for two years. I fought the
battle faithfully with the Electropoise,
and today I am a healthful, vigorous
man, probably as fully restored as it is
possible for one of my years (61) and
constitutionally ruined by drugs, to be.
For over thirty years I suiiered inex
pressibly with torpid liver and indiges
tion; that disappeared entirely as soon
as I began the Electropoise treatment.
I was so stiff and rheumatic that life
was largely despaired of, and so it goes.
I have not had on the Poise now for two
months, but "it is loaded" and ready for
business. A number of notable cases of
improved health could be given among
my personal men s and acquaintances.
I have just sent my Electropoise to a
young man of twenty-one who has been
a bed-ridden suilerer with rheumatism
for three or four years. I hope to have
a good report fron him.

Young Gentlemen :- The June
number of The Forum, which has
just reached us, contains a remark
able article from the pen of Presi
dent Thwing, cf Ohio. In order to
estimate the comparative chances of
eminent sueces.. in life of the men
who have graduated at collece,
and of those who have not, he has
taken the trouble to examine in de
tail the six volumnes of Appieton's
Cyclopedia of American Biography.
The results of his investigation
seem to me to be very remarkable.
One of the more than 15.000 men
who have been deemed worthy
of mention in this collection, thirty
five per cent have been college
men. His estimate attaining to
eminent distinction, are in propor
tion of ono to ten-thousaad. The
chance3 of the college man are one
in forty, or two hundred and fifty
times as great.
I have ventured to call your at
tention to these result", not to nat
ter you with hopes which may be
delusive, not to stimulate any am
bition which may be unworthj, and
least of all, to foster a pride which
would surely be foolish and unholy,
but with the hope that, as you pon
der them, you may see how wide is
the pathway which opens before you
a pathway of eminent usefulness
to your fellow men. This ia not
empty sentiment, or the rhetoric of
Commencement oratory. It is a safe
deduction from an exhaustive study
of the facts, a cold and careful cal
culation, that the chances of the
men who have really availed them
selves of the opportunities which a
college offers are out of all propor
tion to the chances of fha men who
have not enjoyed these privileges.
Your aimer mater will have the
right to expect that you will be
leaders in the world of useful
thought and useful action.
The results of the investigations
to which I have just alluded at first
amazed me. That in this compara
tively new country, the very para
dise of the so-called, self-made man,
and wkich, for the first century of
its history, afforded few facilities
for college training, that there
should bo such a large ratio of college-bred
men to others among
theso who have obtained the recog
nition of mention in this great cy
clopedia, suggests at first thought
that some mist&Le must have been
rnado eithf r in the collection of the
facts or in the inference from them.
And yet, when I remember what
liberal culture is, what it aims to do
and often accomplishes, surprise
and incredulity begin to vanish.
What has the college sought to do
for you ? What has been tho hich
end for which during these bygone
student have
labored together harmoniously,
happily, successfully in lecture
room and laboratory ? The best ac
count that I have ever seen of it is
given by Prof. Huxley, in one of bis
"Lay Sermons." He says:
"TVio man T I U 1

liberal education who has been so
trained in youth that his body is the
ready servant or his will and does
with ease and pleasure all the work
that, as a mechanism, it is capable
of; whose intellect is a clear, cold
logic engine, with all its parts of
equal strength, and in smooth work
ing order; ready like a steam en
gine to be turned to any kind of
work, and spin the gossamer as well
as forge the anchors of the mind;
whose mind is stored with a knowl
edge of the great and fundamental
truths of nature, and of the laws of
her operations; oce who, no stunted
ascetic, is full of life and fire, but
whose passions are trained to come
to heel by a vigorous will, the ser
vant of a tender conscience; who has
learned to love all beauty, whether
of nature or cf art, to hate all viie
ness, to respect others as himself."
This is a high ideal. Alas, that
the actual eo often falls far short o!
long a resting spell, when once
their diplomas are in their hands.
Let this not be the case with you.
You are now graduates. You have
won your first degree. Now for the
next You can win that also, but I
warn you that the prico rf :ucces
is going to be labor, pains-taking,
self-sacrifice. The curricula of actiie
life will be more difficult; iU exami
nations, which will come daily and
hourly, will be more exacting thn
any that I have left behind you.
From my heart I congratulate'you
that you stand among those whom
President Thwing proves to occupy
a vantage ground of so much hope
and promise. Yet in all honesty
and earnestness would I re

vantage ground. You hold the
strategic position, but the battle is
