OUTLINES.
A number of bills were passed by the
Senate yesterday making appropriations
for public buildings; the bill declaring
trusts and combinations unlawful was
debated by Mr. George, who declared it
unconstitutional, and that Congress had
no powerto enact it; in the House the
contested election case from the first
district of West Virginia was further
considered, and a vote being taken At
kinson. Republican, was seated; the
Democrats refrained from voting, so that
the question of the right of the Speaker
to count a quorum may be taken before
the courts. The Liquor Committee

The Morning Star
VOL. XLV.-NO. 144.
Mr. Martin Garrick, of Birming
ham, Alabama, who is an importa
tion from Elmira, New York, is not
happy. In an idle hour he wrote
"not for publication" a most slander
ous letter on the people of that sec
tion, which was published in the El
mira Star, and now the people of
Birmingham have gently intimated
to him that there is danger of his
being contaminated by remaining
among such people and the best
thing he can do will be to seek more
congenial associations elsewhere.
The Philadelphia American, Re
publican, thinks that the white peo
ple of the South are quite as much
in need of Christian influences as the
negroes. Well perhaps some of
them are, and may need them almost
as much as they do up in the pro
tected regions of Pennsylvania where
they keep Pinkerton detectives and
armed men to prevent the good peo
ple from clubbing and shooting each
other to death.
The Philadelphia American, Re
publican, objects to the close grip
that Boss Quay has on the State of
Pennsylvania, and asks if there is no
relief. If the American is really anx
ious to get out of the grip of the
bosses it should labor to make Penn
sylvania a Democratic State.
A good many Kansas farmers, who
are now burning corn for fuel say that
between grasshoppers and protection
they will choose the grasshoppers.
Grasshoppers come only once a year
but protection comes, gets hold with
all its claws and chaws away all the
time.
The grip proved a bonanza to Dr.
Knorr, the German physician who
discovered antipyrene. He made over
$l,00o,0u0, the demand being so great,
the price running up from $l.-40 an
ounce to $o an ounce, on which he
got a royalty of nearly one half.
Some of the papers which are mad
because Chicago got away with the
site for the World's Fair, jeenngly
remark that Columbus did not dis
cover Chicago. The general impres
sion is, however, about this time, that
Chicago discovered Columbus.
Edison made a speech in Indiana
polis the other day while he was in

talked his speech into a phonograph,
and the speech was ground out at a

distinctly all over the house.

OPERA HOUSE.
Opening of ihe Adele Frost Company's
Engagement.
A very large audience of intelligent
theatre goers gave Miss Frost a most
hearty welcome at the Opera House
last night. She played Parthcnia, in
"Ingomar." She invested the play with
a grace and sweetness that was inde
scribable; but it had the quality of
magnetism that always attracts admira
tion. Her principal support, Mr. Edmund
Collier, was a splendid Ingomar. His
transition from the rude barbarian to
the gentle civilized citizen was a mas
ter stroke of theatrical art.
Mr. Clement St. Martin played Poly
dor most effectively.
Every other character was played
more than well by this excellent organi
zation. To-night "Pygmalion and Galatea"
will belplayed, Saturday matinee, "Vir
ginius," and Saturday night, "The Mar
ble Heart."
This engagement bids fair to be cer
tainly a most brilliant and artistic suc
cess in every particular.
A Missing Man.
Mrs. H. S. Spivey, Clinton, N. C,
writes the Star, that her brother, Dun
can M. T. Autry, a man of unsound
mind, not capable of traveling alone,
left his home during the absence of the
family on Sunday, the 9th instant, for
Worth county, Ga., where he has a sis
ter living, and it is feared that he per
ished on the way. He was without
money and had but a few clothes in
a tow sack. His brother-in-law came to
Wilmington in search of him, but could
find no trace of him here. He was
traced to within four miles of the city,
and was heard of at Currie's, where he
was advised to leave the C. F. & Y. V.
railroad track and go through the country-
The unfortunate man's family are
in deep distress and will be thankful for
any information concerning him. He is
described as a short stout man with
light hair and blue eyes, and had bad
teeth.
"Around the "World."
The descriptive part of the stireopti
con lecture to be given next Tuesday at
the Opera House is from the pen of Rev.
C. R. Treat and is concisely and inte
restingly written. The views are each
about eighteen feet square, showing the
cities of London, Paris, Venice, Brussels,
Vienna, Berlin, Copenhagen, St. Peters
burg, Moscow, Rome, Alexandria, Pe
kin, Cawnpore, Yeddo, San Francisco,
New York, St. Louis, and many other
places in various parts of the world.
Good Prices.
The sale of real estate made Wednes
day last by Messrs. Cronly & Morris,
auctioneers, is considered by real estate
dealers as the best made for many days.

feet, fronting on Front and Second
streets, with lot No. 1 upon Queen street,
and the lots sold for an average of $238,
the total amounting to $5,710.

N. C. S. S. CONVENTION.
THIRD DAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
Reports of Committees Officers Elected
for the Ensuing Year Resolu
tions Adopted Addresses
Final Adjournment.
: The Convention was called to order
promptly at 9 a. m, by the President,
, Rev.Dr. Pritchard, and considerable time
was taken up in devotional exercises,
in which Rev. Mr. Ballard, and Messrs.
H. N. Snow, Messrs. Reynolds and B.
G. Worth took part.
The Bible reading exercises were con
ducted by Rev. J. W. Primrose.
Report of the Committee on the Exe
cutive Committee was adopted.
The number of copies of the minutes
to be printed was left to the Executive
Committee in conjunction with the Pub
lication Committee.
Report of the Auditing Committee
was received and accepted.
At this juncture a statement was made
by one of the delegates that a misleading
paragraph in one of the city papers
should be corrected. The paragraph al
luded to stated that one of those an
nounced to speak upon a selected sub
ject was not present, but sent a paper
discussing the question, which was read
by one of the delegates present, while,
in fact, the Convention refused to have
the document read. The gentleman ma
king the statement declined to state in
which newspaper the erroneous matter
was published, hence it devolves upon
the reporter to state that such a report
did not appear in the Morning Star.
Mr. Wm. Reynolds, being invited, took
the stand and answered in a very practi
cal and common-sense way a large num
ber of questions regarding the best and
most successful methods of conducting
Sunday schools, and keeping up the in
terest in the work.
"The Art of Questions" was detailed
briefly but pointedly and practically by
Prof. G. T. Adams.
The Nominating Committee submit
ted their report of nominations of of
ficers for the ensuing year which was
unanimously adopted.
The following are the officers for the
ensuing year:
President Prof. W. A. Blair, of Win
ston. Vice Presidents 1st District, J. S.
Blair; 2nd District, Prof. G. T. Adams,
of New Berne; 3d District. Geo. Chad

boro; 9th District, H. C. Dunn, of Clear
Creek; 10th District, R. N. Hackett, of
Wilkesboro; 11th District, Gen. R. B.
Vance, of Asheville; 12th District, Rev.
W. H. Smith, of Franklin.
Recording Secretary Prof. J. W.
Gore, Chapel Hill.
Statistical Secretary H. N. Snow,
Durham.
Treasurer W. H. Sprunt, Wilming
ton. Executive Committee G. W. Watts,
chairman, Durham; N. B. Broughton.
Raleigh; E. J. Parrish, Durham; J. S.
Carr, Durham; W. H. Reisner, Salisbury;
S. A. Kerr, Greensboro; J. S. Linebeck,
Salem.
Prof. Blair, the newly elected Presi
dent, then came forward and took the
chair, it having been gracefully resigned
by the retiring President, Rev. Dr.
Pritchard.
Mr. G. W. Watts submitted the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions;
Whereas, The North Carolina State
S. S. Association has been so fortunate
as to secure the services, as Statistical
Secretary, of such a man as Horace N.
Snow, and 1
Whereas, His work has been quite
arduous, such as producing the beauti
ful and valuable map now before us; has
done almost the entire work of the
Executive Committee; has carefully
sought and compiled statistics,
whenever and wherever obtainable,
has personally written in the past
year over 500 letters in reference to
county organizations and other pur
poses tending to the welfare of our As
sociation; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the North Caroli
na S. S. Association, in Convention as
sembled, do tender to Mr. Snow, our
warmest praise and thanks for his un
tiring energy in his labor of love.
Resolved, That we appreciate the fact
that he did more than his position de
manded of him, and did it all in the
most satisfactory manner and with a
cheerful Christian spirit.
Resolved, That only as an expression
of our appreciation, and in recognition
of. his valuable services, but not as a
compensation for the same (as our
treasurer would not allow it), we tender
to him the sum of one hundred dollars.
The resolutions were adopted unani
mously by a standing vote, and Rev.
Dr. Pritchard, in a few feeling and ap
propriate remarks, presented Mr. Snow
with a check for $100.
Prof. Beardslee, being called upon,
then came forward and sung a couple of
songs in his own exquisite style, at the
conclusion of which the Convention
took a recess until 8 p. m.
NIGHT SESSION.
' This was perhaps the best session of
the whole Convention. Mr. Reynolds
conducted a promise meeting, calling out
a dozen of the preachers and laymen
who quoted passages of Scripture which
were specially precious and helpful to
them, adding comments that were
striking and edifying.
The first regular address of the even
ing was by Dr. E. A. Yates, on the Bible
authority for Sunday Schools. This ad
dress was read, and as was to be expect
ed was clear, vigorous, compact, sensi
ble and convincing. The style was that
of a close reasoner, and was classic in
its elegance.
But the special interest of the hour at
tached to the address of that remarkable
Sunday Scnool worker Mr. Wm. Re
nolds, which was on going forward. It
was a lay-sermon of great power, and
coming from a successful business man,
addressed to business, was clothed with
a moral force that we have rarely heard
equalled.
He was followed by Mr. Watts of Dur
ham, outlining what the executive com
mittee proposed to do during the next
year, looking to larger work and more
effective organization, after which the
usual resolutions of thanks were passed.
The hour was now late, but the "feast
of reason and flow of soul" was not over,
for brief and spirited addresses were
called out from Rev. Messrs. Peschau,
Creasy, Pritchard, Beaman and others,
which seemed to thrill the large audi
ence and kept it intact to the last.
With a parting hymn and many cor
dial handshakings this interesting and
profitable meeting of Sunday school
workers adjourned, to meet next year in
the good old town of Fayetteville.
