Henry Watterson, of the Louis vile Courier Journal, has written a letter declining to allow the use of his name, as a candidate for the office ef I'nited States Senator. 'He says that lie is a working journalist, happy in his associates, anfl proud uf his calling. He says: "The ex amples of two eminent members of our profession, whose, contentions in the field of practical politics em bittered their lives and dwarfed their u-if fulness, and tarnished their fame, and the tragic fate which each in his death encountered, made an early and deep impression upon my mind. There was an exciting political contest the other day at Lake City, Fla, between the liquor men and the temperance folks, and the former were in a fair way to carry the elec tion, owing largely, to the work of a popular young citizen. Four tem perance girls determined to capture him, and they did itv One of them aked him to step behind the Court: house, that she might tell him a secret, and the others followed with four chairs. In these the conspira tor seated themselves so closely around the young man that he eon Id not get out without using force, and, being too gallant to do this, he was kept a prisoner' until the polls closed, and the temperance people had won the day. The president of the Tennessee State Temperance Alliance has call ed a convention of all the.temper ance organizations of that State, to meet in Nashville on November 10, to map out plans for future teinper auce work. Tle large vote in favor of prohibition at the recent election has encouraged the temperance people very much and they are now planning a more active cam paign than ever before. The Pro hibitionists are confident that they will elect a majority of the members of the next Legislature. , Just now they are working in favor of local option, but they are even yet deter mined to try another State election a prohibition amendment. . - :.- . .

An election was held yesterday in Grant township, Pender county, to see if the citizens would vote a town ship subscription of $10,000 to aid in the construction of the Wihuington, Onslow and East Carolina Railroad. There was a large turnout arid full vote, and that the people are anxi ous for the road is shown by the fact that only one man out of a vote of more than 200 voted against the subscription. Change of Officer. Last night, at a meeting of the J)irectors of the Wilmington Home stead & Loan Association, Mr. W. A. Dick resigned the position of Secretary and Treasurer and Mr. C. C. Brown, Manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company, was elected to the vacancy. Mr. Dick was impelled to this step because of tle increase pressure of his business. Mr. Brown will worthily fill the ofliee so acceptably held by his decessor. pre- The October Cosmopolitan. The October number of the CW mopolitan is the handsomest and most interesting yet issued. It opens with a beautifully-illustrated article entitled "The Passing of the Buf falo." Another timely and profusely illustrated article is that on "The Pigmy Kingdom of a Debauchee.,' The author describes the present condition of the Hawaiian Islands, the causes of the recent revplution and the character of King Kalakaua and his subjects. The third illus trated article is the last of the series by Arnold B urges Johnson on "Charles Sumner." That which will, perhaps, .attract most attention is "The Second Wife of Napoleon I." It is based upon new materials jusjt published in Europe, and shows that she was in every way unworthy of her husband "The Tours of the Presidents" presents much- inter esting information apropos of Presi dent Cleveland's Western trip. "The First Jenny Lind Ticket," "A Buck board Trip Among the Indians,' and "A Remedy for Poverty," can not fail to attract attention. "A Turncoat for Love" is a very witty story. "A Lear of New England" is good. "Mr. and Mrs. Inderwick" is aU amusing post-humous story by John Esten Cooke. The poetry of the number is by Walt Whitman, Danske Dandridge. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, and A. H. Peters. For Charity's Sake. Hon. Simon Wolf, of Washington, D. C, arrived here on the local freight train at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and registered at the Orton House. At 8 o'clock last night he delivered a lecture at Concordia Hall tca large aiid interested audi ence. His subject was "Charity," a theme fertile with ideas, arid one which he discussed in an exhaustive and eloquent manner. . Mr. Wolf is a fine speaker, of commanding presence, and with an expression both pleasing and attractive. He was introduced to the audience by Mr. Sol Bear, in a few, chosen re marks. The object- of the lecture, as stated by Mr. Wolf, was to raise the funds necessary to the erection of a Jeish Orphan Asylum at At lanta, Ga. The asylum is to be j under the control of the Jewish Order, known as B'nai B'rith, but it could not be begun until $50,000 had been subscribed. Other cities had contributed liberally to the bene- j faction and the speaker hoped that Wilmington would respond freely. Contributions being in order, the neat sum of $025 was subscribed by j those present in a very short time.

There was a small docket for the Mayor's consideration this morning, and it .was disposed of in the folio w ing order: ; Mrs. B. Ruby, charged with dis orderly conduct. It appeared from the testimony that the defendant was very angry last night, and when cautioned by the officer on that beat to make loss noise, ; as she was dis turbing the peace, she paid no heed to hisrwarnings- and became so-loud mouthed that she was arrested. The judgment of the eourtv was that she pay a fine of $20 or go below for o0 days. : , Philander Hill, colored, disorderly conduct, was discharged Charles Anderson, colored, charg ed with fast driving, submitted and was fined $5, which he paid. - ; Does It Pay ? Does it pay to buy old moth-eaten and shop worn goods? How ofteii is it the ease that after wearing (so called) new clothing a short time that the purchaser, finds it has not given him the satisfaction as claim ed. All should kno that Mr. -A. Shrier has opened a new clothing store at 114 Market street, and that his stock is composed of entirely new good which he intends selling it lowest possible prices, and we would say to those that are inclined to patronize him that they cannot be deceived in the clothing being old and that they will receive more man tneir money s worm in every instance. A call will convince vou of the fact. t Personal. Mr. Gibson James, of Maple Hill, Pender county, is in the city to-day. W. T. Bannerman, .Esq., of Bur gawf Pender county, accompanied by his wife, was in the city to-day. Mrs. Nettie Smith, representing the Sunny South, of Atlanta, Ga., is in the'xsity to-day working inthe in- terest of that publication. Mr. A. H. Williams, of Pender county, passed through the city to day on his return from a visit to Rutherfordton. Hon.' A. M. Waddell returned last night from Chapel Hill, where he has been to lecture on "America Before Columbus." Mr. Norwood Huske, formerly clerk at the Purcell House in this city, but now located near Ocala, Fla., is here on a brief visit to his former friends, by whom he has been most cordially greeted during the day. Capt. S. W. Noble, hasjust return ed from Clinton where he has been during the session of Sampson Superior Court, canvassing in the interest of his vineyard, in which we are glad to learn he was quite successful . - A Caution. There is yellow fever at Tampa, Fla., and Asiatic cholera at some of the hospitals of New York. Owing to the lateness of the season there is but little danger of the fever here, but the march of cholera is hot re tarded by the weather. The disease was brought to New York by pas sengers from infected ports, several of whom 'died on the passage, and a number of whom were sick when the vessel arrived at quarantine near New York. The sick passengers were taken at once to an island hos pital, where some of them have since died." The steamer lias been f miti gated and allowed to go up to the city, which may be ali right and safe so far as: the public Uealth is con cerned, but e do not think so. We think the health of- the people of that city, and as a matter of course of the whole counjxy, is jeopardized by the act, and we think it o"uld be well for those who have the health of our city in charge to watch carefully that the disease does not reach here. Ilock Crystal Spectacles and Eyeglasses'. Advice to old and younger In se lecting spectacles you should be cau tious not to take more magnifying power than has been lost to the eye. as in the same proportion mat you pass that point of increase, will cause you further injury to the eye. Using glasses of stronger power than is ne cessary is the daily cause of prema ture old age to the sight. You can get the best at Heinsberger's. t See the Othello Range at Jacobi's Hdw. Depot.
