OUTLINES.
President Harrison and party reached
St Louis yesterday morning amid the
'-.miiv of cannon and the cheers of an
;,1imcnse multitude. The Supreme
rnrrt-of Michigan has decided that the
colored brother is a citizen under the
constitution, and cannot be discrirai"
nated against; a restaurant keeper had
(ienied him equal privileges with white
customers, and a suit was brought to
recover damages. -Two masked
men robbed an express car in Kansas
Friday niht, but the stealing didn't
amount to much. A man died in
Illinois Friday morning, who weighed
four hundred pounds; he ordered his
colli " hi advance, and died within
twenty minutes of the time which he
had predicted. - The Japanse go
vernment has acceded to a scheme for
planting a colony of Japs in Mexico;
two thousand laborers will leave in a
month Japanese pirates have
murdered in cold bjood the crew of a
trading vessel, numbering thirty-nine
men: eleven of the pirates have been
captured and beheaded. The
magistrate's court at Tipperary has de
cided to continue with the triads, not
withstanding Dillon and O'Brien have
left the country. The scattered
remains of the men who were blown
into fragments by the explosion at the
Dupont powder works have been
withered up. to the extent of six buckets
full, and w ill be buried in four coffins.
y. H. Schrieber. who robbed an
Indiana bank of 300.000, has been sen
tence i to twelve years' imprisonment
and a tine of $S00. France is
freuK agitated over the new United
States tariff law. The ministerial

Voting isn't simply a privib ,c of
the citi.rn; it is a duty, a dut that
ii --nv(-to himself, to his fanfiiy and
his State. There is no dodging that.
North Carolina expects every
white !Uiu. to do h:s duty in the com
ing election, and the man who don't
do it. won't feel very white if the
Radicals slip in through his indiffer
ence or negle :t of duty.
The main object in President Har
rison's junket is to liven up the Re
publican party in the West and help
to bring out the vote in the coming
elections. The political managers
are working up the enthuse.
Paddock, Plumb and Pettigrew
were the Republican Senatorial trin
ity of P's who voted against the Mc
Kinley tariff. This is somewhat P
culiar. They stood square up with
the three big V's, Vance, Vest and
Voorhees.
California furnishes nine-tenths of
the raisins consumed in this country
now. When they want to convert
them into Spanish raisins to please
the taste of those who prefer the
imported article, a Spanish brand is
slapped on and the thing is done.
if the State of Wyoming were
picked up and dropped down in some
other State, she wouldn't have
population enough to entitle her to
one member of Congress, but,
coming in as a State ward of the Re
publican party, she has two Sena
tors and a member of the House.
"c census of the new State of
Wyoming shows a population of CO,
a population not three times as
large as the population of Wilming
ton, and yet the Republicans by
taking her in scooped two U. S. Sen
ators and a member of the House

Herr Most says the ideal common

The Panama canal scheme does

The Colombian Government has
given the Company an extension of
ten years on the time, the condition
being that the Company paythe
Government $2,600,000 and contri
bute $10,000 a year toward defray

The' Cleveland, Ohio, Leader, Re

MUls ought to cover into the Treas
ury his salary for the time he was
out West making speeches. How
about the sixty-odd Republican
Congressmen who were sloshing

count a quorum?
A German beer scientist says the
only right thing to drink beer out of
is a gold-lined silver mug. People
who drink it from the ordinary glass

Beer saloon men should immediately

gold-lined silver mugs.

Fine Church Music To-Day.
It is quite generally conceded that no
church in our city has finer music in its
services than St. Paul's Lutheran
Church. To-day, in its services, supe
rior and suitable church music will be
furnished by strangers; who will assist
the organist and choir.
Prof. Koeben, who is not only a
master on the. Zither, but also a fine
pianist, is also a superior pipe organ
player. He has played on some of the
largest and finest organs in the cities of
Cologne, Worms, etc., in .Germany, and
in quite a number of places in this
country. He will assist the finely skill

Mrs. Koeben will sing a grand selection
from Abt's Church Music.

that city his headquarters, engaging in
mission work as well as in parish work
He will therefore remain in the diocese
of East Carolina. His charge of St
Paul's, in this city, will terminate No
vember 1st, very much to the regret of
his parishoners and other friends in the
community.

From Sire to Son.
At the close of the first act it was ap
parent that Milton Nobles' latest offer
ing to the muses was an undeniable suc
cess. 1 he plot is particularly interest
ing to us, as the basis of the play is of
California origin, and many of the inci
dents occur on this coast. We can judge
of the versimilitude to nature as experts,
nor can we find one incident or touch to
cavil at. ?'From "Sire to Son" is abso
lutely true to the represented period in
our State's history, and the coloring and
character drawing are worthy of Bret
Harte. It is one of the best, if not the
best, California play, which has been
written. IVezv Orfcans Times.

HELLO I
ID YOU EVER THINK, IF YOU HAVE A
Telephone, how pleasant -it would be if, when the
party called for comes to his Telephone to respond, he
wound simply announce his number, nd thus, relieve
any uncertainty in your mind as to whether the opera
tor had correctly understood and executed your order?
If a mistake had been made how much more quickly
it could be corrected, and if you had the right party
with how much more" ease and promptness would you
Droceed with vour talk, than if vou first hear "hello."
and then ask "is this No. 75 " and finally get to busi
ness. Suppose you try it yourself after tfiis, giving your
number when you are called and make it easier for the
other fellow. This is one of the regular rules on the
card, too. Probably you havn't read it. There are
cymw ntkar mlae -Vi o rsv nArlAlr an4 if VAll
served them you would find your Telep"hone service
improved.
Speaking of mistakes of the operators, they do make
them sometimes, don't they? Do you wonder ? Have
vou any idea how many orders each one of them hears
in a day and executes correctly ? They come very
fast at certain times of the day, and the mistakes are
a microscopic fraction of the entire number. Do you
think you would do any better or make any fewer mis
takes? As a fact now, d o you make any fewer mis
takes in your business than the Telephone operator
does in hers? "tood bye. oct is it
Button Shoes!
TX7HAT ABOUT BUTTON SHOES ? IT IS
just this : We have several broken lots of
' GENTS' BUTTON BOOTS
that we will sell at a SACRIFICE. They are Hand
Stitched and as good as any made in this COUNTRY,
Former price $6.00, selling now at $4.00. If all those
who wear Button Shoes will call and do not see $2.00
in their favor we will not ask you to buy them.
Also one lot of LADIES' KID BUTTON BOOTS
that we will sell for $2.50, worth $4.00.
You may think this sounds unreasonable, or that
they are old stock, but come and see is all we ask.

A Rare Opportunity.
IN CONSEQUENCE OF ILL. HEALTH, AND
having more business than, I can attend to, I offer
for sale, Tease or rent, my large splendid two-story
Store, with out-houses, commodious Cart House, two
acres of rich garden land and a small Cottage, all
nicely enclosed with a good board fence. Everything
is bright and new, and located just three miles from
Wilmington on the Georgetown Road, which is the
key to the city from Brunswick County. It is one of
the best trading points in the State, as quantities of
every variety of produce are constantly passing the
door; besides a heavy local trade. Large sums of
money are being paid to hundreds of laborers every
week in the vicinity. Address F. M. MOORE,
Phoenix P. O. Brunswick Co., N. C, for terms,
