WILMINGTON, N C, THURSDAY. MARCH 21,
j The Furlm Ball.
The tenth annual Pqrim Ball, nn
jder the auspices of North State
;JLotljre No. 222, L O. O. B., took
place last night as- Concordia Hall,
i It was largely attended and was
1 riinrniicrlil v fninvahlf The nroceeds
c j J i
of the entertainment were for the
benefit of the District Orphan Asy-
1 lum and a handsome sum was
S realized. The managers were Messrs.
I. Macks. B. Solomon. Sol. C.
Weill" and Samuel Bear, Jr.. and
they are to be congratulated on the
success which crowned their efforts.
Tiie Republican lat. r
The Republican primaries were
held last night aftd resulted in the
choice of A. J. Walker or W. H.
Howe and (xeo. W. Price or Elijah
Lane in the First Ward and Thos.
Lawson and Cxeorge Bell in the Fifth
Ward. The word "or" which we
lave used means that both of the
parties naiued claim the distin
guished honor of the nomination.
They can fight it out among them
selves; we are indifferent as to the
result. In the Second, Third and
Fourth Wards no nominations were
made.
Hail Storm 50 Years Ago.
Within the memory of the old
est inhabitants the hail storm of
Tuesday night was the most unpre
cedentedly severe, with one excep
tion, that has ever been known in
this section. Some 50 years ago, or
t hereabouts, there was a very severe
one- so severe that cattle in the
fields Were seriously injured and hu
man lifes were lost. Three young
men were in an open boat in the
Sound somewhere between Middle
Sound and Topsail and were caught
in the storm. Two of them were
killed by the stones and the third es
caped only with serious injuries.
Snow at Burgaw Yesterday.
Our clever friend, Mr. J. T. Col
lins, of Burgaw, was in the city to
day and paid us a very welcome
visit. From him we learn that the
hail of Tuesday night did not touch
Burgaw but that it was heard from
further on. There was plenty of
rain too much, in fact at Burgaw,
however, on the night in question
and yesterday there was snow there
not much of it, it is true, bat still
a distinct and well defined snow.
Mr. Collins says that the truckers
are retarded by the cold, wet weath
er. He hopes to ship the first rad
ishes next week.
Two Distinguished Visitors.
(Ten. Thos. L. Casey, Chief Engi
neer of the U. S. Army, was in the
city on Tuesday last, in company
with Col. W." P. Craighill, Engineer
in charge of this district. Gen. Casey
is on a tour of inspection of the en
tire South Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
Accompanied by Capt. Bixby and
Mr. Bacon the two distinguised
visitors went down the river on
Tuesday on the steam tug Wood
burg, returning on the Eaton. They
made a close examination of all of
the government works in the river
and on the bar and we understand
that Gen. Casey and Col. Craighill
both expressed themselves as well
satisfied with the result, commend
ing the work of the. office here in
high terms. Both gentlemen left
here on Tuesday night, Gen. Casey
for Charleston and Col. Craighill on
his return to his headquarters in
Baltimore.
Last Nignt in Memorial Hall.
The entertainment given last
night in the Luther Memorial Build
ing, for the benefit of the Organ
Fund of St. Paul's Church, was in
every way a delightful success. It
was a pretty, pleasant musical me
lange. The quintette rendered by
Miss Minna Schwarz and Messrs B.
French, W. P. Toomer, A. S. Hol
den and John T. Grant was most
beautifully rendered and was un
stintedly applauded. Mr. Ot ten's
rendition, as foreshadowed by us,
was a surprise to his friends, not so
much in its production, for all knew
that he would do well whatever he
undertook, but in the title, which
was "Matrimony." Mrs. H. L. Vol-
lers, Miss Lizzie Ulrich, Miss Kate
rti , . , t,. . . I
Stolter and Miss Ehse Bissinger ah
sang and all contributed greatly to
the success of the entertainment.

The Humble Peanut.
Some of these days we will all find
out that the humble peanut, grown
at our very doors, is a great reme
dial agent. We know of an instance
in this city where it cured a little
gift of whooping cough and now
Bishop Lyman claims that it will
crK insomnia and dyspepsia. The
Bishop's testimony is very valuable.
He writes as follows to the Raleigh
News and Observer:
I think I have made a very valua
ble discovery, and I am anxious that
others should also enjoy the benefit
of it- , For nearly two years I have
4lee suffering greatly from sleep
lessness at night, and frequently
have not been able to sleep more
than one or two hours during the
nigut. I have tried a great number
of proposed remedies, some of which
have helped me a little, but not for
any length of time. A little more
than a fortnight ago, while staying
at the house of a -friend, in the
country, my good hostess brought
into the parlor, quite late in
the evening, a bountiful supply
of freshly roasted peanuts. As
I am very fond of them, when
they are not too much cooked, I ate
quite freely of them, and soon after
retired to bed. I found the next
morning that I had enjoyed the best
sleep I had experienced for over a
month. I attributed this at once to
the peanuts and determined to try
them again the following evening. I
did so, and also drank a glass of
fresh, sweet milk after I had finished
the peanuts. That night I slept
still better, and now, for a fortnight,
I have partaken of the peanuts and
the milk every night, and have not
only slept remarkably well, but have
also fully recovered from a slight
attack of indigestion j, which had
troubled me before. I now find that
peanuts, carefully roasted aud not
over done, so as to be at all burnt,
are surely a remedy for sleepless
ness, and also for that form of in
digestion which is one of the pro
ducing causes of sleeplessness.
There is a popular impression that
peanuts are indigestible, but I have
never found them so, unless they
were too much roasted, or had been
roasted many days before. When
too much cooked, or when stale,
they certainly are indigestible, but
when carefully roasted and fresh,
they promote digestion. They should
be eaten shortly before going to
bed, an.l not more than a half
puft should be taken. They should
be roasted before they are shelled,
and shelled only as they are eaten.
A half pint of shelled nuts would
be too many.
B' Nai IV Kith.
A special meeting ofDistrictGlrand
Lodge No. 5, Independent Order of
B' Nai B'Rith, wilf be held on the
26th and 27th of this month in Sa
vannah. After transacting the reg
ular business, the convention will
adjourn to Atlanta, where it will be
reconvened on the 28th inst., for the
purpose of receiving the orphan
asylum recently erected by the or
der in that city. Usually the meet
ings of the order are biennial, and
properly there shouldbe no meet
ing until next year. Owing, how
ever, to the opening of the asy
lum a Special meeting will be held
this month.
North State Lodge, No. 222, will
be represented at this meeting by
Messrs. J. I. Macks, L. Brunhild and
Isaac Bear.
The B' Nai B'Rith is the largest
Jewish benevolent and charitable
order in the world. The organization
extends over the United States and
Europe.. District No. 5 is composed
of the District of Columbia and the
States of Maryland, Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Geor
gia. The convention will be com
posed of about ninety delegates from
all parts of the district. As already
stated, the special feature of the
convention will be its acceptance of
the orphan asylum. The building
of this asylum was decided upon a
number of years .ago, the number
of orphans entrusted to the care of
the district having increased so
rapidly that it was found to be ne
cessary. After competition between
the various cities in the district,
Atlanta was selected as the playe
for tne asylum, tne citizens 01 inai
city having subscribed the largest
amount in proportion to the Jewish
population. The asyUin will cost
about $50,000, the ground having
been purchased and the building
erected and furnished by voluntary
subscriptions thoroughout the dis-
trict. The niemher-s of the order
. . . . . , .
have by a per capita tax and in va-
rioas other ways raised about $50, -
000, the interest on which is to be
, ,
used as a permanent endowment
fund.
