The political situation in Europe is j-e.-rrded as serious; the concentration 0i Russian forces and the activity among Irsncli troops garrisoning fortified places is gravely discussed. The cruiser San Francisco sails for Chili to day. The revolutionists in Chili are gaining strength and the Balmaceda government is weakening.

There is nothing in the California law. however, against stealing a whole railroad. An Ohio farmer who was hypno tized by some lightning rod men into signing a promissory note for three hundred dollars now spends most of his time with a double-barrel shot gun hunting for lightning rod men. The Pacific coast has 175,000 more men than women Massachusetts has Tu.000 more women than men. It these surplus producers adopted a policy of reciprocity they might help each other and bring things nearer an equilibrium. Vhz Repubbliqan papers frrfprm us th?.t Maj. McKinley, of tariff noto r civ. is in demand as a Republican orat . r. No doubt of it. The Re puilican party has need of all the ab'e-bodied tariff prevaricators it can find, and more. The St. Louis Republican's rain edi tor has been figuring and finds that an inch of rain over an acre of ground ivouiJ weigh a hundred tons. When the whole Mississippi valley turns i:eii loose on the Mississippi river the levees at the lower end have something to brace against. That prominent Italian citizen of New York, who expressed the belief that in the event of hostilities be tween this country and Italy the naturalized Italians in this country would "be true to their mother country," has a somewhat beclouded dea of what citizenship means. We admired somewhat when we read of the oratorical performances of Mrs. Lease, of Kansas, but we understand it now, when the Law rence Record informs us that Mrs. Lease has a mouth at least "one hundred and fifty miles wide." That is mouth enough for many orators. The State Treasurer of Pennsyl vania gently reminds the Legislature that they are proceeding in a fair way to bankrupt the Treasury. If '-here is anything that a Republican legislature is apt to make rapid progress at it is in bankrupting treasuries. That's their forte. They all try to keep up with Republican Congresses. Asa Montague, who is a denizen of the blue grass sovereignty, has been toting that name for fifty years. He has recently discovered that it isn't his, and petitions to be allowed to take the name of Asa Ktmbrough which is his name. As a name Montague seems to have filled the bill pretty well, and it is better than Kimbrough any way, even for a Kentucky man. Rev. Dr. John Hall, of New York thanks the Lord when he stands be fore one of those attractive show windows on Broadway that there are so many things that he can get along without, but it is doubtless at the same time a source of comfort to him to feel that with his salary of $10,000 a year there so many things in those show windows that he can get if he hankers after them. 1 HE VOL. XLVIII.---NO. 14. The bequest of the late George Peabody of $2,500,000 to build dwellings and lodging-houses for the poor of London has increased from rents and interest to $5,117,230, while the land and buildings ac quired and built with the fund are valued at $6,169'225 more, but to the end of last year 5,071 houses had been built and furnished for the poor, which are rented to them at such rental as they can afford to pay. The cabbage acreage of Florida is said to be immense this spring. With cabbages and other garden sass, oranges, lemons, alligators, fish-bone mines and meerschaum clay, Florida may look confidently to the future. With such diversified industries some of them ought to strike. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Opera House The Corsair. Star Office Wrapping paper. Munson & Co. Spring clothing. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS Pertinent Paragraphs Pertaining Princi pally to People and Pointedly Printed. Mr. Nelson Jenkins received a telegram last night from Newark, New Jerseystating that his mother and sis ter were both critically sick, with little hopes of recovery. He left for Newark on the 12.05 train this morning. The editorial cat corps of the Star has been reinforced. I now num bers four. Their teeth and claws have been sharpened, and we now compla cently await the arrival of the belated Spring poets. This may not be personal, but it is strictly pus-onal. A Star reporter, standing at the corner of Front and Princess streets yesterday, saw, at the same moment, Mr. John S. James and the Bradley brothers, Richard, James and Charles. They are among the oldest citizens of Wilmington, their average ages being about 78. The many friends of Mr. F. W Clark will regret to hear that he is laid up with a severe attack of "La Grippe," at his home in Norfolk, Va. If he can take a run down to Wilmington and spend a week or two with his old friends he would soon forget that he had ever been sick. Walter Newton, South port, Joel Hines, Whiteville; C. W. McClam my, Scott's Hill; C. Shaw, Magnolia; R. P. Tail. J. D. Furgerson, Bladen boro; W. G. DeBerry, Rockingham; G. W. MacMillan, Whiteville; R. F. Powell, Tarboro; H. G. McMillan. Sloop Point; E. B. Borden, Goldsboro, were registered at the hotels yesterday. The Norfolk Landmark of yes terday says: Colonel J. J. Hedrick, a popular and prominent merchant of Wilmington, N. C, ou his return from the North, where he had been to pur chase his stock, spent Sunday night with Judge George D. Parker, whose wife is the Colonel's niece, and returned to his home yesterday morning. Mr. R. F. Hamme, who will be remembered as the "right-hand man" of the late B. P. Harrison in the old firm of Harrison & Allen, has returned to Wilmington and will open a hat store, on Market street, in a few days. It has been nine years since he left here for Norfolk, Va., where he was in business several years, removing from there to his farm in Granville county, where he remained about three years. His old friends welcome him back. To Newspaper Thieves. The newspaper thieves who have been stealing copies of the Star recently from the premises of subscribers are again warned that the first one, and all subsequent ones, caught in the act will be prosecuted to the full limit of the law. Throwing turf will be abandoned, and stones substituted, with a profes sional base-ball pitcher to do the throw ing. Women's Auxiliary to "2". M.ZC. A. At the meeting of the Auxiliary held yesterday morning, it was decided to hold a special meeting next Monday in order to complete arrangements for at tending the laying of the corner-stone on the 15th instant. It was also decided to give an excursion to the Sound on the 16th instant, complimentary to the Grand Master and the visiting Masons. Weather Forecasts. The following are the weather fore casts for to-day: For North Carolina and South Caro linaRain Wednesday, easterly winds, slightly cooler, except in Eastern North Carolina, stationary temperature.

Many barrels of clams are ship ped daily from Southport, via Wilming ton, to the Northern markets. Samuel Boston, colored, was fined five dollars in the Mayor's Court yesterday, for disorderly conduct. The Marion Free Lance says the Star "is one of the newsiest, bright est and best papers in the State." A change of schedule has been made on the Carolina Central, but it af fects only the night trains 23 and 24. Special services for children will be held at the First Baptist Church to-day at 4.00 p. m. by Rev. Dr. Pntch ard. Some of the retail dealers have dropped prices on sugar two cents per pound, while others hold at the old rates. The first annual meeting of the stockholders of the North Carolina Home Building Association will be held at the City Court room to-night. As promoters of "Tired na ture's sweet restorer;" the shrieks of the steam-whistles in the "early morn," are unanimously voted a dead failure. The police force has been in creased by the addition of four men. There are now 23 privates, two janitors, four sergeants and one captain, under command of Chief Hall. Latest reports from the crops in this immediate neighborhood are more favorable. There seems to have been more damage done by the frosts on the Sounds than elsewhere. Nearly a column of our tele graphic news, in type and ready for the "lorm," was overlooked and left out of the Star yesterday. And it does not appear to-day, as it has lost its fresh ness. The schooner Max cleared yes terday for Port-au-Prince, Hayti, with a cargo of lumber measuring 153,340 feet part creosoted and valued at $3,221. Cargo by S. & W. H. Northrop and ves sel by Geo.

A Raise in the Bate Over the All-Rail Route. With the commencement of the ship ment of truck to the Northern markets it will be of interest to the truck farmers to know exactly how the increase in freight rates will affect them. The ef forts of the Southern roads to induce the Pennsylvania road to maintain the same rates as last year were without the desired result. The rates over the Atlan tic Coast Line Despatch, the name given the all-rail route, will be considerably higher this year in consequence. The Atlantic Coast Line, which is the name given the part water and part rail route, will be improved as much as pos sible and will most likely be used very much more than the Atlantic Coast Despatch. For the present, while truck, is com manding fancy prices, the farmers can afford to ship their goods via the At lantic Coast Despatch. The Charleston News and Courier says that a meeting was to be held in that city yesterday by the Pennsylvania Railroad authorities, at which the sub ject of rates on truck would be thoroughly discussed. Representatives of connecting lines were to be present at the meeting; the Atlantic Coast Line represented by General Manager Walters and General Freight and Pas senger Agent Emerson. INSPECTOR OF BOILERS- Mr. Groom, of Beaufort, to Succeed Mr. Thomas O. O'Keefe. Charleston World of Tuesday A meeting of the special board, con sisting of Judge Simonton, Inspector Oast and collector Johnston, was held at the Custom House yesterday. Altera session of about half an hour Mr. E. E. Groom was appointed inspector of boil ers for the Fourth district, to fill the vacancy caused by the removal of Mr. O'Keefe. Mr. Groom is from Beaufort, and is stated to be a competent officer. He has been over thirteen years in the employ ment of the Coosaw company. South Carelina Rice. The reports from around Georgetown are that rice planting will be delayed for fully two weeks this year. The high tides have topped all the banks, break ing them in many instances, thereby causing loss and inconvenience to the planter and stoppage of labor among the hands, which is a great drawback to them in getting the necessary supplies for daily sustenance. . . - i - N. C, WEDNESDAY, OF PRACTICAL VALUE. Row to Advance Real Estate and to Keep a Town Moving. The Greenville, S. C, News gives ex pression to some sound and practical views which may be read with interest and profit by the people of Wilmington, where, it must be admitted, there is a woful lack of unity and concert of ac tion. Read and reflect : "It is well to remember that increase in real estate values does not build' towns. As soon as there is more popu lation than the business of a town will support, real estate values begin to de cline because the demand for lots, dwel lings and stores ceases. "The one way to keep real estate values advancing and the town moving is for the people to move, and to move together. Nothing can be done if peo ple are divided into factions and throw cold water on each other's un dertakings. We may hate each other as we like, but it is well for us to remember, that our general interests are the same and we can best help ourselves by helping earnestly and promptly in everything proposed likely to advance the community, be it big or little. "Live men who will think and work and give for the upbuilding of their commu- nities always develop fast enough when it is found that the people are ready to back them. Holding back and splitting into factions and cliques will kill any town, no matter how fair its prospects are or how great its growth may have been. y "There is no such thing as standing still. We must keep moving forward or go backward." OPERA HOUSE. Th8 Corsair To-Night-A Complimentary Notice from a Well Known Wil mingtonian. Every indication points to a large attendance at the theatre this evening to witness the production of "The Cor sair." Mr. Geo. R. Dyer, recently con nected with dramatic and newspaperial affairs hereabouts, writes that "they had three rousing houses in Savannah. The very best people of the city attended, and appreciated the excellent perform ances. I make no hesitancy in recom mending this company. They are supe rior to any company of the kind that has ever visited Wilmington." The company will arrive here from Charleston this morning, and reserved seats may be had at Yates'. PENDER COUNTY. Tax Listers and Assessors Appointed. The Board ot Commissioners of Pen der County, at their regular meeting Monday appointed tax listers and asses sors for the various townships as fol lows: Long Creek W. W. Larkins, J. D. Bell, A. H.

Armstrong, Stewart Black, J. K. Cowan. Holly W. J. Player, J. R. Banner man, Gibson James. Peculiar Effect of "Grip." A retired physician of this city, whose "sands of life," have not "nearly run out," and who is a man of keen per ceptive powers, explained to a Star representative yesterday, one of the various results of an attack of "grip." He named several well known citizens who had been victims of the disease, all of whom had been almost inveterate smokers, and all of whom had lost all desire to smoke, both during the attack and since recovery. This is a question of interest, and is worthy the attention of the medical pro fession. And, no doubt, dealers in cigars and smoking tobacco will appoint a committee of investigation with orders to report promptly; for they would suf fer seriously should they lose their "grip" on the old smokers. Stocks of Naval Stores at the Ports. Stocks of naval stores at the ports at the close of last week are reported as fol lows: Spirits turpentine Wilmington, 2,- 188 casks; New York, 1,39$; Charleston, 147; Savannah, 5,013.

Total. 12.012 barrels, Assault and Battery Case. A warrant was issued yesterday even ing by Justice Bunting for the arrest of Ed. Everett, colored, charged with as sault and battery on Rev. William Smith, a colored preacher. The trouble took place on Red Cross between Seventh and Eighth streets, Smith com ing out much battered and with one of his hands badly mangled. APRIL 8, 1891.

Building. - Arrangements have been completed for the laying of the corner-stone of the Y. M. C. A. building. The Second Regiment Band, accom panying the Wilmington Light Infantry, will escort the Masons from their Lodge to the building. There the programme will be carried out by Mr. H. A. Gudger. Grand Master. Music will be furnished by the North State Band, and a large chorus under the direction of Mr. H. M. Bowden. The programme will be printed in a neat form and will be distributed at the building. Mortuary Report for March. Dr. Potter's mortuary report for March shows the number of deaths in the city during the month to be 35, in cluding five still-births. Taking thirty as the actual number of deaths. Dr. Pot ter estimates the death rate at 10.80 per thousand for the white population, and 20.80 per 1.000 for the colored. The re port recommends that a "furnace" be built in a convenient and central part "f the city for destroying garbage, spoiled meats, etc. It suggests, also as a sani tary measure, that the floor in Front street market house be torn up and re placed with cement. ' Library Lecture. The lecture on Dickens and "The Old Curiosity Shop" at the Library rooms last night seemed to be much appre ciated by its audience and brought out warm applause at its end. Though an hour long, it seemed very short to the majority of the listeners, because of its interest and familiarity. This lecture was more like a dramatic reading than any yet given, each character being given an individual tone of voice and manner of speech separate from the others, adding greatly to the general effect. ' A Safe Deposit Institution. The Wilmington Savings and Trust Company are making preparations 'to receive at their office on Princess street a large fire and burglar-proof safe, for the storage of yaluable papers, etc. The safe will contain sixty-two private boxes which will be leased to customers by the year -or longer. The Savings is a prosperous institu tution, and its business is growing so that its present quarters are already too small and will necessitate the erection of a building especially for the business of the bank. Sworn In. The newly appointed members of the police force were sworn in yesterday Mayor Ricaud gave them a talk, en joining a faithful performance of duty, and explaining the laws and ordinances. He told them if any were found asleep on post or intoxicated they would be discharged and would not be reinstated. TAR, WHOLE NO. 7,649 Civilization's March . What changes are made by the march of civilization and improvement! The building for the Young Men's Christian Association is now being erected on the very ground on which once stood some of the lowest dens of infamy that ever disgraced a city. Ere long "Paddy's Hollow" and its unsavory record will be a thing of the past wiped out to make room for the steady march of a city's expanding business.
