Grady it has been found that during the year 1889 he made loans to various people in amounts from $50 to, $400, the whole aggre gating: more than $13,000. Most of this is collectable, and niades a sub stantial addition to the editor's es tate. Gov. Wuterinan of California is a Republican, but is not popular with his party. Says a Republican organ. "He fondly imagines that he will be re-elected, but since the days of old Bigler California, has never hatljeo incompetent a Governor as Water man, and he will discover his un popularity when the next conven tion meets." The Prince f "Wales wears a No. 10 boot, while his dress pumps are of the finest German patent leather and "Ko. 9 in size. The Princess Louise wears a No. 5 in a walking boot or a No. 4i in Oxford ties. In her wardrobe there are a couple of pairs of shoes to match every dress, and a lot of colored Russia leather, morocco and black shoes. Mrs. John A. Logan has become distinctly a literary woman, and each day finds her in the editorial chair presiding over . her Home Magazine. The en res of editorial work have certainly not left their traces on Mrs. Logan's face. She retains her perfect health and seems contented in her new work. Her hair is now snow white. om- Zorilla, the uiost'popukir Spanish Republican, is living quietly in Paris. He lives in furnished . lodg ings, and never goes into society. He is fairly well off but not wealthy. He has been fifteen years in exile, but has never for a moment lost faith in the ultimate triumph of his crusade. The worst thing said against him Is that he constantly smokes cigarettes. Dr. Lucien Howe says blindness has increased in the State of New York during the past live years thirteen times as,fast as the popula tion; and the State charities com missioners state that the excess in the increase of the insane in the State over the increase in its popu lation for the last nine jears has been more than 44 per cent. These figures are most startling, especially when it is "considered that the modes of "treating the eyes and brain are supposed to have been so much im proved of late years. An admirable arrangement look ing to the quick and safe emptying of the "house has just been adopted at the Tremont Theatre in Boston. At any time, by simply touching a button in any one of the eight handy places in different parts of the theatre seventeen sets of folding doors, leading to as many exits open simultaneously, actuated by electri cal apparatus. The expense of the improvements is said to have been considerable, -but it is safe to say that the public will appreciate the advantage of being able to take their pleasure without any dread of fire or panic. The Charlotte Chronicle devotes a column and a half. of yesterday's issue to a resume of the outlook in the Congressional contest. It says that Col. Rowland will ask to be re turned for another term and that some of Capt. Alexander's friends are pressing him forward for the nomination, while others think that he had best hold back and wait for Gov. Fowle's old shoes and that from thence to the Senate in Gen. Ransom's place iij 1895 is "as sure as eggs." A very pleasing outlook for the Alexandrians a but one not so patent; to outsiders. In addition the Chronicle mentions the names of Col. H. C. Jones, F. B. McDowell, Frank I. Osborne and Maj. Dowd, of Mecklenburg, Paid H. Means, of Ca barrus,. David Covington, of Mon roe, and J. T. LeGrand, of Rich mond. New Hanover it rules out of the contest, inasmuch as itclaims ! that Col. Rowland is from this end of the district. But, dear brother, the convention hasn't met yet and j many slates will -be covered all over with hieroglyphics and then smash ed all to thunder before the final ! outcome will be known. - - 'Twill save yon lots of money And manv a doctor's bill; f Bronchitis, "cold, or hoarseness, ' WILMINGTON, N.

Stronsr Meu. Women love strong men. A weak man may excite their sympathy and a woman's careful tenderness soothe and soften the anguish. -of a weak man's soul, but the laughing, joy ous, warm, exuberant love of women dear, belongs to the men that are Btrong and noble and kind. Then why will a man continue weak, and mean and peevish? An, old gentleman writes: "B. B. B. gives me new life and strength. If there is anything that will make an old man young, it is J. B. B." Some men say, and women too, they never feel weak and mean ex Icept in the spring. Why then feel weak and mean and nervous and prostrated in the spring time when life and spirit awakens with thrill ing buoyancy even the vegetable world? 'Must you allow sluggish blood, inactive organic functions, rusty joints and general weakness to make your life miserable simply because the long winter has restrain ed your natural activity? It need not be. If only you will use that pleasant and incomparable tonic blood purifier known as B. B. B. or Botanic Blood Balm your health in spring Time win ue iui inai you can wish. Try it this spring. Try it now P. A. Shepherd, Norfolk, Va., Au gust 10, 1888, writes: "I depend on B. B. B. for the preservation of my health. I have had it in my family now nearly two years, and in ail that time have not had to have a doctor." Marriage at St. James'. Mr. Walter L. Holt, of Alamance counts', ws happily married last night, in St. James' Church, to Miss Mary, daughter of Col. W. L; De Rosset, 5f this city. The marriage rite was solemnized by Rev. Robert Strange, the Rector. The church, which was beautifully decorated and prepared for the occasion, 'was full long before the arrival of the hour for the ceremony, which was set for half-past 7 o'clock. There were twelve bridesmaids.and these march ed in twos from the chancel down the main aisle and met the bride as she appeared at the front door and thence conducted her to the altar, as -she leant on her father's arm. The bride was met there by the groom and his brother, who acted as best man, and then the service began. As the nuptial blessing was pronounced the bridesmaid, form ed in two lines, one on each side of the chancel, knelt at the same time as did the newly-wedded pair. Then the bridal party passed from the church. The universal sentiment seemed to be that it was one of the most beautiful weddings ever sol emnized within the walls of the old church. The attendants were as follows: Mr. Ed. Hoi. V of Burlington, N. C; and Miss Ruffiii, of Hillsboro; Mr. J. H. Holt, of Burlington, and Miss Kate DeRosset: Lieutenant James Hughes, V. S. A., atid Miss Oallie Reid French; Mr. F. L. Meare and Miss Bessie Graham, of Charlotte: Mr. Benehan Cameron and Miss Hanna Bolles: Mr. Frank Myers and Miss Mabel Curtis; Mr. Armand Mvers and Miss Louise DeRosset: Mr. L. H. Meares and Mis Mary Lily Kenan; Mr. Win. Williamson, of Graham, and Miss' Annie Blount DeRosset: Mr; Locke Erwin, of Graham, and Miss Lossie Myers; Mr. C. B. Maliett and Mis Gabrielle DeRosset; Mr. Ed. Tennentand Miss Carrie Myers. The ribbon bojTs were Masters Swift Boatwright and Gas ton Myers. The bridal party drove from the church to the residence of Mrs. Kate DeR. Meares, on Fifth street, where a reception to the bride was - given and where the rooms were thronged duriner the evenimr bv those who called to congratulate the happy couple. The fair young bride has been esteemed as one of the most charming and lovely young ladies of the many whom our city is proud to claim and the regret is great that her home is not to be here. At 10 o'elock Mr. Holt and his bride left for Front street depot, where they embarked on the iu:l& train for an extended tour of the South and Southwest. On their return they will go direct to their home at Bur lington. They Pay 8500, or Cure. Formany years the manufactur ers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Itenredy, who are thoroughly responsible, financially, have offered in good faith, through nearly every newspa per in the land, a standing reward of $500 for a case of nasal catarrh, no matter how bad, or of how long standing, which they cannot cure.

' , - -" Marriage at the First Presbyterian ; The was a large congregation in attendance last night at the First Presbyterian Church to witness the marriage of Mr. John Roddick, for merly of this city, but more recently of Fayetteville, to Miss Maggie M. Sprunt, a lovely and accomplished young lady of this city. The sacred edifice was brilliantly illuminated with the electric chandeliers and the scene was a brightly beautiful one. The ceremony was conducted by Rev. Peyton H. Hoge, DrD., pas tor of the church: Miss Anna Sprunt was at the organ and rendered the exquisite wedding march ; from Wagner's Lohengrin las the - bridal party advanced up the main -aisle. The accompanying'attendants Vere Mr. Kirkland Huske and Miss Isa- bel'Bryan and. Misses Maggio Hall and Isabel Black, as llower girls. The ushers were Messrs. W. H. Howell and John D. Williams, the third Mr. and Mrs. Roddick left oi the midnight train for a tour North and will proceed thence to their home at Fayetteville. v . The New President. . At a meeting of the'Board of Di rectors of the Wilmington and Wel don Railroad, held yesterday at Baltimore, Mr. Warren G. Elliott was unanimously elected President of the road. It is expected that Mr. Warren will remove with his family to this city about the first of March and take charge of the duties of his new posit ton -then. Maj, Creeoy, of the Elizabeth City J'lconomist an old friend of Mr. Warren's father., has this to say in lUe last issue of his paper: Somo of our older citizens can re- member a little" fat, chubby boy who some thirty years ago shot mar bles and creeped "like snail unwill ingly to school'' on the streets of Elizabeth City. That boy was War ren Elliott, who removed from this town to Norfolk, Va., about twenty years ago. He has just been elected to the place of President of tho Wil mington and Weldon-R. R. with the snug salary of $10,000 and Betsy -rejoices and sends greeting to her lucky boy. Blood will tell, and tho blood of the Elliotts confirms the adage. Gilbert Elliott, the father of Warren, was a born lawyer and log ician. He wras a self made man and when a boy was taken into his law office, by Charles R. Kinny, the lead ing lawyer on the circuit at that time, who recognized the talent of the young boy and became his pat ron Mr. Kinny was proud , of his student when he came to the bar, ,' and was often put to the top of his mettle to parry his professional blows. Gilbert Elliott fell early in the battle ol life, but he lived long ; enough to rive assurance of the great distinction that awaited him, and when he died he ranked among the great lawyers in North Carolina. He had several brothers, all of whom were gifted men, and their children have been favorite sons of nature. It has been and is a remarkble race -of men, and it has been a charac teristic of the race, that while they are not slow in development, they are sjow of perfect maturity. They progress to the end and their latest fruits are their best. They came originally from the county of Cam den and the father of- Warren was born just over the ferry in Camden county. We extend to him, as bis friend and friend of his father, our sincere congratulations upon, the appointment. We also express our pleasure that he will probably re turn again t6 the 'bosom of his old mother State.
