JEWS UNDER A BAN.

Every Hebrew in Troy, Ala., Ordered to Leave Town by White Caps. Birmingham, Ala., March 20. A white cap outrage at Troy, a city of i, 000 inhabitants, has caused great excitement. Saturday morning every Jew in the place, on opening his mail, found a notice from white caps ordering him to wind up his business at once and get out of the city by May 15. In the afternoon a mass meeting of citizens of all creeds was held and great indignation was expressed. It was agreed that the Jews should be protected and any lawlessness would not be tolerated. The authorities propose to do all in their power for the safety of the Hebrews.
