A literary thief has just turned up in the Philadelphia postofnee. About Ir.'uo volumes which he had stolen from the mails were found stored in arret. The steamer Teutonic is now the champion ocean racer having broken the record by making the trip from the other side in 5 days 19 hours and minutes. With a short crop of grain in this country and a short crop in Europe the American farmer need not lose s i much sleep looking for that "home market." One county in California will lose s.),(n 10,000 this year for wan't of ships to carry its wheat to England. The -home market" don't seem to have taken root out on the Pacific. The population of Vermont has fallen off about 200 in the past ten years. The effort to fill up the waste places by the importation of Scan dinavian colonies has proved a fail ure.

What's the use then in squabbling "ver the sub-treasury bill? f, ' i T VOL. XLVI.-NO. 126. Mrs. Cora Belle Fellows Shaska, who achieved her first fame by marry a dirty, erreasv. worthies Tnriian ing buck, has won some more distinction bu by routing a party, of "braves" who tried to pounce down on her supply ot government soap. We don't doubt her pluck, but there is a suspicious look in the statement that Draves had a hankering for soan. There must have been some strange revolutions out in that countrv when the noble red man manifests an interest in soap. A report from Buenos Ayres says that during the administra tion of Celman, the deposed Pre sident of the Argentine Repub- ic, $500,000,000 Dassed through his hands from which the Republic derived no benefit. With this record he could come over here and achieve still more eminence by becoming a Republican statesman for which he seems to have a decided talent. Senator Quay is opposed to the force bill because "the Democrats would obstruct its passage until it will be too late to enforce it at the coming election," andCameronis op posed to it for the better and more creditable reason that "there is no need for it, and its only effect would be to promote strife between the sections." The Chief of Police of San Fran- cisco says the Chinese in that town commit more crimes in proportion to their number than any other race. There are lots of Ah Sins among 'em. The Melican man's crimes ain't al ways crimes' in the eyes of John Chinaman. A Lieutenant on the war ship Bal timore mistook Lige Halford for a newspaper reporter. Mr. Halford is not a newspaper reporter. He is a great whistler and he helps Mr. Har rison to run this government as it was never run before. The Birmingham, Conn., man who announced that he would marry the young woman who would make a balloon ascension with him, is in a quandary, for three have presented themselves, and he can't marry them all. A prominent Alliance man predicts that the Farmers' Alliance will have a Presidential ticket in the field in 1892, with Gov. Palmer, of Illinois, for President and Gov. Hill, of New York, for Vice President. The "next Governor of Texas will be a Hogg. With Hogg and hominy and the champion liars of the con tinent there is no good reason why Texas should not be joyful. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Star Office Babbit metal. Isaac Bates House for rent.

Officer Joe Roddick was sleeping quietly yesterday, after watching all night, when messengers ran to his house, No. 908 Wooster street, and informed him there was a robber under a house on Wright street. Joe, with visions of a large reward, jumped into his clothes and seizing his club went off to catch the robber (?) He found the women at the house badly scared, and went under the house and pulled out his robber, who wanted to know what he had done, and why a man who was tired could not get a little sleep if he wanted it? Joe found it was a man who was working on the premises, resting from his labors, and went home sadly disappointed at losing both sleep and reward. Arrested in New Orleans. Postmaster G. Z. French received a telegram yesterday notifying him that John Kennedy, charged with robbing registered money packages in the Wil mington postoffice a short time ago, had been arrested by police officers in the city of New Orleans and delivered into the custody of United States officers at that place.

Pennypacker's many friends will be glad to learn that he is much better, and will probably be at his post in the Custom House in a few days. Interments in the city cemeteries the past week were: Seven adults and one child in Pine Forest (colored), one child in Oakdale and one child in Belle vue. Two white men engaged in a fight yesterday afternoon at Second and Princess streets, but were hauled off from each other before either of them was hurt. In the Mayor's Court yesterday there were five or six cases of disorderly conduct. Mary Jane Swann, colored, was fined $20 and costs, and Frank Jones and Richard Plummer $5 each. The lower part of the city has been dotted with piles of trash this week, and Health Officer Hayes has been kept busy having it hauled out. The city is getting a pretty thorough cleansing. Item from the Charleston JVcais and Conrieroi Saturday:. "Mr. A. Boyles- ton, of Wilmington, N.

Annual Meeting of Farmers' Alliance at Ashevllle. Several delegates from the Farmers' Alliance meeting at Asheville returned last night and express themselves as well pleased with their visit. All of the old officers were re-elected, with one or two exceptions. Many changes were made in the organic law of the order, so that the State constitu tion would conform with the national. Mr. H. E. King, of Onslow, an officer of the State Alliance, made a strong ap peal for Wilmington as the next annual meeting place, and this nomination was seconded by Capt. S. W. Noble in a short but pointed speech, and had the question been agitated a little earlier Wilmington would have undoubtedly been chosen. As it was the vote stood: Morehead 43, Wilmington 37, Greens boro 21. The lecturer and steward of each su bordinate Alliance in the State have been appointed deputy organizers to complete the organization in the State. Every courtesy was extended to the Alliance men by the citizens of Ashe ville and returning delegates speak in glowing terms of the kind treatment they received. The Arm-Clutch. The Richmond (Va.)

The Carolina Inter-State Building and Loan Association Capital Stock Five Millions Officers Elected, Etc. The organization of the Carolina In ter-State Building and Loan Association of this , city has just been completed, under the auspices and direction of some of the most reputable and promi nent gentlemen of the community. The association proposes to place agents in every one of the Southern States as soon as possible, and to establish local branches throughout the country. It is to do an inter-state business and the success of this one under the conservative and able management of the gentlemen who com pose its directors and officials may be said to be assured. At a meeting held by the stockholders here the following directors were cho sen, viz: John W. Atkinson, H. M. Bow den, W. H. Green, J. R. Kenly, Berry Gleaves, Isaac Bates, Iredell Meares, E. S. Tennent, Chas. E. Borden. After this the directors met and elect ed the officers, which are: J. W. Atkin son, President; H. M. Bowden, Vice President; E. S. Tennent, Secretary, Charles E. Borden, Treasurer; Iredell Meares, General Attorney; John S. Wat- ters, Superintendent of Agencies. Mr. John S. Watters will in a few days call upon citizens to solicit subscriptione and explain the workings of the Asso ciation. The capital stock, to be accu mulated, will be five million dollars, and this no doubt will direct the eves of many to Wilmington, for the whole management will be in our city, and it will tend to give to this place great com mercial importance. IMPROVEMENT IN TELEGRAPHY. An Important Invention by Mr. R. J. Mcllhenny, of Wilmington, N. C. The Star some time since gave a description of an important invention in telegraphic instruments made by Mr. Richard J. Mcllhenny, of this city, and yesterday the attention of a reporter for the paper was called to new instruments embodying this invention placed in the office of the Western Union Telegraph Company. In telegraphic nomenclature these instruments are known as "re pealers," and the purpose they serve is to increase the current, acting as an extra motive power or force for the transmission of messages over long dis tances. Mr. John Bragg, the Associated Press operator, has had these instruments working every night for several months on the Wilmington and Jacksonville Press Circuit from which all cities copy at one time and he finds them, as he says, the most superb instruments ever used, and at the same time the most simple; so that the most ordinary oper ator could soon comprehend them. Mr. Bragg, a few nights since got some of the principal operators in Washing ton interested in the workings of the new repeaters, repeating back to them some of the Associated Press reports. They were much pleased, remarking that every dot and dash was perfect, and expressed a lively anxiety for the suc cess of Mr. Mcllhenny's invention. Mr. C. C. Brown, an experienced tele grapher, and Manager of the Western Union office here, is much pleased with the new instruments, and says that in his opinion Mr. Mcllhenny's repeaters are superior to any now in use. It is claimed for them that they work smoother and firmer, are not as compli cated, require less attention, and will effect a saving in cost of cells of local battery and labor of keeping in order, amounting to twelve dollars a year with every set used. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. The Amplified Third Degree to be Con ferred Wednesday Night. Stonewall Lodge No. 1 and Clarendon Lodge No. 2 of Wilmington, will jointly confer the Amplified Thircf Degree on candidates from Clarendon Lodge next Wednesday evening. The exercises will be of unusual interest and there will be a large attendance of members of the Order from Fayetteville, Maxton and Bennettsville, S. C, as" well as Wilming ton. The music on the occasion will be given with organ and cornet accom paniment. The three lodges in this city will unite with the visiting lodges in their excursion to Carolina Beach on Wed nesday. Cape Fear Hiver Improvements. The River and Harbor bill passed the Senate yesterday with amendments. among which was an increase of the ap propriation for Cape Fear river from $100,000 to $200,000. Senators Ransom Dolph and Frye were appointed confer ees on the part of the Senate to meet conferees from the House. RANGE OF THE THERMOMETER.
