From memoranda of the late
Henry. W. 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.

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.

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 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.
