WHEN SAALLWE LOOK UPON ITS LIKE AGAIN Closing Scenes of the Gener al Assembly. THE SEN ATE SANG SONGS ANI> THE GALLERIES JOINED IX TIIE REFRAIN. “THE DEMOCRATS WILL WIN IN 1900” Said Lieutenant-Gove: mr Reynolds Yesterday Morning. Ladies Were Invited <o Sea's on the Floor While the Ses sion Was Dying. At noon yesterday, legislative time, tlu* President's gavel fell for the final adjournment, until the second Tuesday of Junes 1000, of ns tim. a Senate* as North Carolina lias had in many a de e-ade—a body of men, the product of a crisis, that had kept, its promises. Intel done most tilings that it should have eloue and few that it should not have 1 j eloue. Serious work had been cut out for it and it had gone about it seriously —so much so that it had often been remarked that the Senate had no humor. Its final session brought out the lighter vein. The hour for meeting hael been set for 5* o'clock yesterday morning, that those who desired might leave on the trains going out after 11 o'clock. The Senators dropped in early and the few bills remaining on the calendar were disposed of. Not it bill died with out consideration. A large number of bills were sent down from the enrolling clerk's office in batches to be ratified as fast as they could be gotten ready. I Lieutenant Governor Reynolds, who seemed to be the happiest of till the mem bers, was the first to unbend and as llte Senators lounged about the Qhnniber in informal fashion, while the hands of the clock crept toward the hour, waiting to do the last turn, the chair hummed a time. Others joined in and soon a song was going. The sound of it sifted over into the House galleries ami the crowd, mostly ladies, who had come to see the curtain fall came over to the Senate wing. ft Senator Glenn, who was nearly qs happy as the President, rose between songs and said that official must lx* turning Democrat, as he had said the night before when replying to the speech of Senator Smith presenting the silver table service that he hoped when the next Legislature met he would have the pleasure of looking in the face of every i Senator present. "The chair must think,” said the Senator from Forsyth, "that the Democrats arc going to carry the State in 1900.” The Lieutenant Governor was not slow to reply. "I did say it,” he an swered, “and I do believe the Democrats will carry the State in 15*00." And then | the applause rang long and loud. It was agreed that the chair was not had at diciphering the hand writing on the wall. Among the last bills to be ratified was the Stevens anti-trust bill. When it was reached it was found that section 5 of the bill which had caused so much discussion and had finally been stricken out by the Senate had been enrolled as a part of the bill. The act was lengthy and as it hail to be copied anew it meant an hour or so more of waiting, but no body seemed to mind. The others were disposed of and the singing began again. By this time the galleries were tilled, and, after the amazement at hearing the staid and dignified Senate sing in open session, each selection was given an enthusiastic encore. When the Senate clock, which keeps time after its own fashion, showed a quarter to noon, the assistant tjoor-keeper climbed on a chair and stuck the jiendulum fast with a tooth-pick while the chair pitched “Su wanec River" for the group that was not slow to second him. The good old State song, magnificent SUf’EEPW ATCH tf\* OF THE NERVES 1 Pe-ru-na makes calm y*; "p * nerves and clean mem ■ 1 brancs; it cures catarrh. Mr. George Wahl, Louisiana. Mo., says: “ From a. pain-racked skeleton 1 was changed by Pe-ru-na into a robust man. ” Mrs. Emma Miller, Loh raersburg, Barry Co.. Mo., says: “ I suffered with * chronic catarrh of the head. / i| nose and throat. I used jrj*ogs I three bottles of Pe-ru-na and was cured. OMr. W. T. Dabney, Carl, Tcnn .says: “I can rccom li|B mend Pe-ru-na as one of the • best medicines for nervous prostration and liver or stomach troubles, ever heard of. lam now well.” Mr. F. Bushwall, Scaly, Texas, says: " 1 have tried J gS Pe-ru-na and Man a-lin and consider them the best’ T medicines for general de- j'r Aft; 1 bility. My wife was also greatly benefited by them.” - ■' a Mrs. Carpenter. Perry, Okla.. says: "1 suffered f. from nervous headaches, I,' \ and my nervous system was JMEkILj cona Pletely broken down. f received great benefit from Pe-ru-na." 11. Goldman, Mansfield.

I ‘“Will not till' Indies join iuJhe song," said the chair to the galleries in < hal- I lenge. The ladies caught the sprit of the occasion and a soprano voice, clear as Tennyson's “first low matin chirp.” took up the Tarheel air and was joined by others until Senate and galleries made the historical old chamber ring ngn>n. "I think, Mr. President.” said Senator Justice eyeing the deserted seats, "that the ladies should he invited to seats on the floor." "'I ln> chair will appoint the Senator from Rutherford a committee of one to invite the ladies to the Hour." repin'd j the President, and the Senator front Rutherford left amid laughter. The ladies occupied the seats aud the choir being better assembled for tuneful purposes, sang the State song and the National Hymn and enjoyed the novelty of the situation until a messenger ar rived from the House to say that the guests of the Senate had been invited to visit the House. Instead of the usual ‘"let the messenger come forward." that individual. Mr. Leatherwood. of Swain, was greeted with erics of "don't let him go hack. ‘ and lie did not go. By and by Mr. Carraway, the portly representative from Letmir, arrived and invited the Senators ami their guests to visit: the House, which did not seem to be "enjoy ing itself." The invitation was accept ed and the Senators and ladies filed into ; Commons Hall to the evident surprise of I the d'ignilied 'presiding officer of that j body who knew nothing of their nim -1 ing. After a half hour the Senate re turned to its own hall. A messenger arrived with the belated bill which was duly signed. i Then the Senate sang, with due | solemnity, that fine parting hymn: “God he with you till we meet again, By his counsels guide uphold you \\ ith bis sheep securely fold you. God lie with you till we meet again." Till we meet. Till we meet. Till we meet at Jesus’ feet, Till we meet. Till we meet. God In' with you till we meet again.” Goil be with you till we meet again, Neath his wing securely hide you, Daily manna still provide you. God he with you till we meet again.” i . I 1 I\ hen the song was finished Lieutenant Governor Reynolds rose and rapped once and silence fell upon the chamber. "I now declare this body adjourned until Tuesday after the second Monday in .Tune, 1900.” The gavel fell again and the sessimi of the General Assembly for the year I*!*!* was at an end. When shall we "look upon its like again?” BILLS PASSED. To appoint A. C. Privet! a justice of the peace. To allow the sheriff of Mlcghany county to collect hack taxes.

Miny (hirifably Pi?pored Ferple in Havana, but TI eir Means are An Appeal so American Women. N w York, March B. Brigadier Gene ral William Ludlow. Governor of Ha vana. lias written a leng.hy letter to the Evening Posr. describing minutely the conditions in tlu- Cuban capital and ap pealing for assistance for Cuban chari ties. General Ludlow refers to the local administration of Havana as a “s cions and laborious task.” Touching especially upon the matter of keeping Havana clean. General Ludlow writes that i'lean ing and sanitation are carried on "tin der every difficulty of a century old accumulation of evils, a deficiency of material, itmd qnate personnel and a paucity and uncertainty as to funds, which for the present are derived from weekly and monthly requisitions on the variable custom house collections, thus multiplying the uncertainties and vexa tions of the task.” Tlu* il istitute, he says, are found in greater numbers in Havana than the other provinces. "In this Department," writes the Gov ernor. "which includes the city of Ha vana and its suburban region west, south and east, between the Rivers Al in .u da res and Corlimar —the destitute drawing rations approximate 2(*.o(X> who must for the present he fed or permit ted to starve. Employment of the able bodied males on street cleaning, collec tion of garbage, repairs to streets and read cleaning disinfection of large build ‘ings and military structures, and the like work, have constituted an immense assistance in this respect by enabling the 2,000 or 3.000 employes to feed them selves and those immediately dependent upon them, but there is still a very large resiilittm. for whom, itt present, occupa tion cannot lie furnished. It is one of the distressing features that a great proportion of the destitute are women and childr n, whose men have died or been killed in the waste of war. 20,000 or 30,000 more are still aggregated as an army, practically idle: and dependent upon the country for their main ton a nee. instead of being at work aiming their living ami supporting tli ir families. It is almost impossible, in till* average case of the women, to find anything for them in do. and this helpless class make spe cial appeal to sympathy." The charitable institutions of Hava na. General Ludlow declares to be quite inud qnate to moot the emergency. IJo cities as itn instance the “Oasa de Las Yiilas” (Home of the Widows), a large structure in the capital occupied by • e widows of Spanish officers. Os this in stitution General Ludlow says: "Upon assuming direction of af fairs here, it was found that the pen sions of these womttn had not been paid for over a year and that they had been left behind when the Spanish forces abandoned the island, absolutely without the means of obtaining food. There are at pres lit, in flic home a total of over 200 of all ages—7o women. s*o girls, and 50 boys—who ure almost, all entirely des titute, and, from a prolonged course of semi-starvation and the absence of medi cal or other supplies, are deplorably re duced and liave much sickness among them. It can be imagined how this ag gregation of a quiet, gentle, suffering, mid almost silent class appeals to the sympathies. Many of them are well horn, accomplished- and educated, totally unable to do anything for themselv.Ls, and with the ignorance of children is to means of support. They profess themselves, aud in many cases doubtless with sincerity, willing to do work, even the roughest; but without any qualifi cations, they would b practically use less to an employer. They could teach, perhaps, but the schools arc not open to them. They arc alien to the com munity in which they aw* compelled to live, with comparatively few friends, and those few unable to deal effectively for their relief." To meet the needs of these women. Gen ral Ludlow suggests that “nti as sociation of women in the United States might take account of the matter and perfect arramrements by which the in stitution should hi* otherwise maintained than as a temporary military exigen cy. There are numerous kindly disposed and charitable people in Havana—many who are busily engaged in charitable work with the sick and the orphans— hut their means are quite inadequate, and assistance would be gladly received from th; charitably disposed in the Uni ted States." The Governor concludes by saying thut Mrs. Ludlow, who has taken a strong interest in the matter, would be very glad to receive any communication on the subject or such contributions of ‘ Mid. clothing or money as might be f-Tivarded. heuiii .m'S qcicbn worse.
