of special interest relative to the Indian
troubles; several of the chiefs heve had
a pow-wow with Gen. Miles, who told
them to come in and surrender, that he
was not there to listen to their com
plaints, and that they could go to Wash
ington and make them; the chiefs stated
that nearly if not quite all of the Pine
R:dge Indians were desirous of peace
and wanted to come back to the Agency.
A conflagration of a fearful charac
ter occurred in Paris Tuesday night; a
large building was burned, which was
crowded with sleeping inmates, and all
had barely time to rush Into the

m others, with their children clasped in

!"iny instances seriously injured.

It is said that the relations , be

have become as frigid as if John
Sherman were samewhere irr the

The potter industry of Trenton,
J highly protected, p-oposes a

If the negroes were to get to
voting the Democratic ticket, C.

paternal interest in them.
Senator Stanford has presented
the doorkeeper of the Senate with a
gold snuff box. Golden gifts are
generally not to be sneezed at, but
this one may prove an exception.
The Carnegie Iron Works have de

Tennessee does not propose to be
left and proudly presents a festive
youth named Walker, who has been
a walker on the Tennessee section
of this mundane sphere for 119 years
He has voted for every Democratic
President from Jefferson to Cleve
land, and expects to do some more
of the same kind next time, which
we remark is a very good reason why
he should live so long. He is at
present making his living as a copy

A cable dispatch makes thej some
what strange announcement that
the season has opened at Monte
Carlo with splendid weather, plenty
of Americans and lots of stiictdes.
Where the connecting link comes in
as an attraction between plenty of
Americans and lots of suicidesis not
apparent, for when Americans con
clude to voluntarily "shuffle off this
mortal coil," they can find facilities
enough at home without migrating
to Monte Carlo.
It is said that some of the; Alli

in Kansas have resigned, alleging as
a reason that they resent tthe sys

they vote on the Senatorial question.
Perhaps these are some of the fel

and don't like to be watched.
Gov. G'oodell, of New Hampshire,
has been doing a wholesale knifing
of New Hampshire statesmen. He
has presented every member of i the

no occasion for cutting remarks. !

however, before harm resulted.

OPERA HOUSE.
The Next Attraction AJden Benedict's
"Fabio Romani."
The Chicago Times gives an idea of
Fabio Romani" and the excellence of
the actors producing it in the following
extract: "Aiden Benedict's 'Fabio
Romani,' a great romantic, spectacular
drama,' commenced a week at the
Academy Sunday afternoon. The story
is similar to 'Monte Cristo.' A return
from the toml, a murder, a duet and
an earthquake contribute toward ani
mated action, and villiany is operated at
high pressure. Walter Lawrence play
ed the title role in an excellent manner.
The part of Nina, the unfaithful wife.
proved to be an anomaly in melo
drama, in that it was made consistent to
the last. Miss Frances Field assumed
the character and handled it with great
intelligence, making it the most promi
nent part of the cast. The scenery was
quite good. A large audience was
present and greatly enjoyed the per
formance. The business has equalled
the capacity of the house."

ANOTHER ROBBERY.
The Racket Store Plundered by Burglars.
The "Racket store" on south Front
strppt nnnosite the market house, was
entered by burglars' Tuesday night and a
umber ol articles taken from the mis
cellaneous stock of goods in the store. A
milar robbery occurred at the same
place about a month ago, the thieves
effecting entrance to the building
through a window at the rear, by break-
ne one of the panes of glass and remov-
ng the fastenings to the blinds inside.
After this robbery all the windows on
the ground floor of the building were
strengthened with iron gratings which
it
was thought made the place secure.
ut the thieves were not to be thus
foiled. The gratings were fastened to
the window-frames by screws at the top
and bottom, and removing the screws
the bottom at the same window
where they first gained entrance to the
building the thieves pulled the grating
out sufficiently to enable one or more of
their number to crawl through the
window.

EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.
Election of Officers for the Ensuing Tear
An Interesting Meeting Reports of
Officers Resolutions Adopted, Etc.
The meeting at the First Baptist
Church last night was well attended and
was of considerable interest, being the
time for the reports of the various offi
cers of the Alliance and the election of
officers for the ensuing year.
A number of the people present par
ticipated in the discussion of the topic
upon which Rev. Mr. Miller addressed
the congregation.
After the exercises Dr. Hoge, acting
President, in the absence of the Presi
dent, Dr. Primrose, called the meeting
to order and read the report from the
chairman of the Citizens' Committee
and the Committee on Work for the
Seamen, and also the report of the
President, in which was summarized the
work of the preceding vear.
Great interest was awakened by these
reports, which show that our city per
mits the existence of dancehouses and
low groggeries, in which sailors coming
to 1 he port are shamelessly robbed of
their hard-earned wages, and in some
cases rob families across the seas of
their support : and in one case, at least,
of a husband and father who was -murdered
in a saloon in the city.
Thee reports'were followed by reso
lutions (given below) expressing the
sentiments of those present relative to
the granting of licenses.
The resolutions were vigorously dis
cussed by those representing the Alli
ance, as well as by members of the Board
of County Commissioners who were pre
sent, the latter explaining their position
in relation to the granting of licenses.
The following are the resolutions:
The Evangelical Alliance of Wilming
ton, N. C, in annual meeting assembled,
hereby ent ers its emphatic protest against
the granting of any licenses by the city
authorities to the so-called "dance
houses," and t&the granting of liquor
licenses by the County Commissioners
to persons of notoriously bad character;
and respectfully invites the aforesaid of
ficials to the consideration of the fol
lowing: resolutions:
1. That in our opinion and in th'i
opinion of all good citizens the exist
ence of these dance houses is a disgrace
to our community, an offence against
good morals, and a notorious source of
crime; that we believe it is an undeserved
reproach upon our excellent police force
to maintain that such open nuisances
could not be repressed if declared
unlawful ; but that if the ordinary
resources at the disposal of the city
authorities are not sufficient to enforce
any ordinance they may make in the in
terest of good morals, we pledge to them
the moral and financial co-operanon of
this Alliance until such evils are eradi
cated. 2. That while, in our opinion, the
existing; license laws of the State are
fatally defective, it is nevertheless our
conviction that it is the duty of our
County Commissioners to make rigid
inquiry into the character of the ap
plicants for license, and into the charac
ter of the witnesses by whom these ap
plications are endorsed; that we com
mend to their attention the example of
the Commissioners of Robeson county,
whose acts have been sustained by the
courts; and that we pledge to those of
our commissioners who are in sym
pathy with our views, our hearty sup
port in the most rigid application of the
law.
3. That we request our Citizens' Com
mittee to present these matters to their
bodies in such way as they think best,
and to press these principles with all the
resources at their command.
After the passage of these resolution
an election of officers took place which
resulted as follows:
President Rev. W. S. Creasy, D. D.
Vice President Dr. T. F. Wood.
Secretary G. M. Busey.
Treasurer R. W. Price.
All are requested to attend the meet
ing at Grace Church to-night, as an
nounced elsewhere.
"Gospel Hymns" will be used.
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.
Petitions to the General Assembly for
the Establishment of a State Institu
tion. A. petition is in circulation in this
city asking the State Legislature to take
some action for the establishment of an
Industrial School for the White Girls
of the State, and is, of course, receiving
many signatures. The petition reads:
Wilmington, N. C, Jan. , 1891.
To the Honorable the Senate and House
of Representatives of the State of
North Carolina :
The undersigned, citizens of the State,
being fully persuaded that the best in
terests of the State would be subserved
by the education of the girls and young
women ot the State, so as to enable
them to earn a respectable living, and
believing that further delay in this mat
ter would be- greatly detrimental ; and
being well assured that there is no
prospect of establishing the neces
sary institution by private means;
and in view of the fact that the
State has done nothing towards the
education of the girls of the State, save
in public schools, while to a great ex
tent supplying the needs of the young
men towards a higher education:
Respectfully petition your honorable
body to make a sufficient appropria
tion for the establishment of an Indus
trial School for the white girls of North
Carorhia. wherein shall be taught such
skilled handicraft as shall place them
upon the vantage ground in life and
make them a blessing to the State,
That an amount not less than twenty
thousand dollars be appropriated for
this purpose, under such laws, rules and
regulations as may in your wisdom be
adopted.

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
The following incident was told me a
short time ago by the principal actor m
the same, and though it may seem trivial
to some, it yet touched a tender chord
within me, and I have put pen to paper
to narrate it, thinking that there might
be others besides myself who would be
pleased or interested.
Last sum ner, one of our oldest and
most esteemed citizens, who emigrated
from the far distant State of Maine
nearly sixty years ago, and settled in
Wilmington where he has resided ever
since, visited the home of his childhood
arid the house in which he was born. It
was a sad visft, for all the friends of his
youth had passed away, and his early
home was a crumbling ruin.
In answer to numerous inquiries he
made about those he had known in for
mer days, and in regard to one particu
larly, a bright-eyed, winsome thing,
scarce eighteen years old when they
parted, and who was very, very near his
heart, (it was a boy's heart, too. as he
was only nineteen.) he was told that she
was a widow, that her name was Turner
and that she lived at a certain town
about fifteen miles distant. A longing
to see her once again the sweetheart of
his' youth which he could not resist,
came over him and he determined to
visit her. He arrived at her house but
found no one at home, and while stand
ing on the sidewalk he noticed an elderly
lady coming across the street directly
towards him. He waited until she
reached him and then addressing her,
said, "Is this Mrs. Turner?" "Yes. sir,"
was the reply. "Is it Mrs. Joshua
Turner?" "Yes," she replied, "but who
are you, sir? I do not know you."
"Betsy Lothrop,"he said, with faltering
lips, "don't you remember the boy ot
sixty years ago named B. F. Mitchell,
whom you used to call Frank?" "What,
is this Frank Mitchell?" she exclaimed,
grasping his hands with delight, and the
two old people, one seventy-seven and
the other seventy-eight years old, who
had not seen each other for sixty years,
and who had been sweethearts in their
youth, bowed their gray heads together
and sobbed aloud.
After spending an hour or two in her
home, recalling with smiles and tears
the scenes of their early days, they
parted with mutual expressions of de
light at having once more met parted
never to meet again in this world.
This may seem a trifling thing to
some, but I freely admit that to myself,
and it may be to others, it is one of
those simple touches of nature which
excites emotion, and "makes the whole
world kin." SENEX.
