We don't see anything left for Mr. Rudini to do but to send along his iron ships, unless he concludes to pull in his horns and quit making :tr:nands." The prospects are with the rumors of and preparations for war on the other side of the big pond, the emi gration ships will do a pretty big business this summer. Advices from across the water in dicate that Russia, France, Germany and Austria are getting themselves in trim for the scrimmage which may be inaugurated at any time. Ex-Czar T. B. Reed, of Maine, has arrived in Italy. When Mr. Ru dini learns this fact, which he has doubtless if he reads the hotel arri vals learned by this time, he will sing low and go slow. When the President will have com pleted his Southern and Western tour he will have travelled 9,228 miles. This is a pretty long run, but he will make it easier than the run he contemplates in the fall of 1802 Kaiser William likes to surprise people. His latest performance was bringing up the torpedo boat Pots dam and manoeuvring her in person in the Spree. He goes on sprees oc casionally, but this Potsdam spree rather capped the climax.

Boyce, the Nebraska school mistress who achieved fame in the March of 1888 by heroically saving the lives of three of her pupils in the great blizzard by which she lost both feet, has met with her reward at last. She has just mar ried a Michigan newspaper man. A foreign subject resident in this country is entitled to just as much protection as a citizen of this coun try, and no more. That's what the Star has held all along, since this New Orleans tangle began, and that's what Mr. Blaine says now. The Star is always right, and Mr. Blaine is this time. The Minnessota Senate has killed a bill which was introduced requir ing the signatures of the writers to all articles editorial or contributed, which annMrfd in the. newsnaoers of rr i r that State.

One tried that the other day and her husband had her arrested and taken before a police magistrate, who cautioned her and let her go home. Seeking infor mation in a cab don't seem to be an approved method in New York. JLHE VOL. XLVIH.--NO. 22. A New York doctor, now a resi dent of London, has got people to living on a mixed fruit and nut diet, without meat or vegetables, as the thing for health. The monkey and the squiirel live on a fruit and nut diet exclusively, and there is nothing in the world that can climb a tree with the perfect ease and agility with which they can. As a rule, too, the monkey and the squirrel have but little use for medicine, enjoying as a general thing pretty good health. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Republican, says the Republicans can't carry St. Louis, because their leaders are "boodlers. The G -D. is too fresh. The Republican party couldn'tjcarry anything if its leaders were not boodlers. It may take a good deal of boodle to go around in St. Louis, but one trouble is the leaders there are given to the habit of pocketing most of the boodle them selves. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Munson & Co.

C, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1891, FUNERAL OF. COL. J. A. GRAY. At Greensboro Yesterday An Immense Crowd Present. The funeral of Colonel Julius A.

A large crowd of ladies and gentle men got on the train at Fayetteville, and also a delegation from Bennetts ville; so that when the train reached Greensboro at 1 o'clock there were six J passenger coaches crowded. A large crowd assembled at the resi dence of the deceased at half-past two o'clock, and thence the body was con veyed to the Methodist church, the Presbyterian church having been re cently torn down to give place to a more commodious building.

The Season Fairly Open Special All- Hail Accommodation and Low Bates Over the A. C. L. The trucking season has commenced and farmers in the Wilmington section report their crops generally good in condition. From the outlook now the crops of early vegetables will be larger than they were last season.

NGt RIVER AND MARINb. Commander C. H. Rockwell. U. S. N-,commanding the U. S. ship Yantz'c.re ports in regard to wrecks on the North Carolina coast which he was commis sioned to destroy: That the sunken wreck of the schooner Dudley Farlin, about 24 miles N. E. ot Bodie Island, is not to be found. He cruised in search of it for three days, while furnished with the latest information regarding its location. This, together with the fact that quantities of floating wreckage were passed by him in that vicinity, leads to the conclusion that the wreck has broken up during the heavy weather lately prevailing. The same conclusion may be arrived at as regards the two wrecks off Cape Lookout. On March 30th careful search during very favora ble weather failed to reveal so much as a break or swirl of the water by which the whereabouts of the Aberlady Bay or Glenrath might be known. The wreck of the schooner Mollie . Saunders was located and marked by a buoy, March 31st, as stated, but the weather was too rough to blow her up at that time. The steamer Boringuen, ashore about nine miles north of Ocracoke Inlet, had about ten feet of water in the hold April 6th, but was expected to come off. We ran across a strange wreck off the South Carolina coast and made a prac tical danger buoy of it. It is 16 feet above water. The location of the sig nal is latitude 37. 32, longitude 75.02.

A large number of counterfeit silver dollars are said to be in circulation throughout the South and West. The dollar is a perfect one, being only off a trifle in weight, and ring. The counter feiters are experts, as their work is of the most delicate kind. The bogus coins are nothing but shells of the genuine. They are filled with some other metal to give the coin the desired weight. The silver is drawn out in a powdered form through a minute hole in the milled edge. The work is very laborious, but it is claimed that 30 cents worth of silver can be re moved. A metal of some kind is pour ed into the small hole, which is almost too small for detection. Arrested for iLarceny. A white man who gave his name as J. T. Carson, alias "Kit Carson," was ar rested last night by police officers charged with stealing two watches from H. C. Smith and G, T. Murdock, at the Victor House, on North Front street, a day or two ago. Carson was stopping at the house and afterwards took his departure, removing to a house on North Water street.
