The" Columbia Register lose fa
careful and able writer by the resig
nation of Col. Jno. W. Pope who for
a number of years has been its edi
tor. Some of the'people"ofgMr. Blaine's
town accuse him of being on too
intimate terms with the brewers.
They should restrain themselves.
He is only brewing some trouble for
the Harrison fellows.
- That Boston scientist who says it

In peace Russia has been pre-narino-
for war. She has now a num
ber of railroads constructed by which
she can mass troops at certain points
in thirty days where before it would
have taken six months to do it.
The Indians out on the frontier
have discovered a new cure for the
grip. They putthe Indian attacked
bv it into a sweat box and then
souse him into cold water. In most
cases it proves an effective and
speedy cure for the grip, but when it
does it kills, the Indian.
Washington, D. C, has a colored
citizen who believes in keeping the
police busy, and has been arrested
thirty-three times in the past five
months. The judge before whom
he was arraigned last time to save
time and trouble and give the police
a rest sent him up for 364 days.
A report comes from Rome that
Baron Fava is accused of mistrans
lating Italy's demands upon this
Government, and with exaggerating
the tone of Premier Rudini's protest.
This looks as if Rudini was going to
make a scape goat out of Baron
Fava to get out of his awkward
predicament without crawfishing.
The City of Mexico may be a
pleasant place to live in but it is not
a good town to die in, if a fellow ex
pects to come home to take part in
the funeral procession. A Leaven
worth, Kansas, man died there a
short while ago and it cost $1,081 to
get his corpse home. The Govern
ment got $150 export duty and the
sympathetic undertakers raked in
the rest.
Tall houses in cities where real
estate is high-priced are becoming
the order of the day. T. A. Haver
meyer will soon begin the erection
in New York, on Church street, of
a fifteen-story building, 200 feet
front, GO feet deep, to cost $1,000,
000. The building which now stands
on the spot is to be torn down. A
beer saloon man, who had a lease of
the lower floor, for which he paid
$3,000 a year, and had still six years
o run, received a bonus of $50000
to relinquish his lease.
Pennsylvania has a law which im
poses a fine of 63 cents per cuss on
the man who too vehemently and
too publicly indulges in the luxury
of cuss woids. Recently an ex
mayor of a Pennsylvania town who
couldn't find dictionary talk enough
to emphasize his remarks went for
his stock of expletives whereupon a
minion of the law went for him and
a J- P. mulcted him $22 fine and
costs, at the rate of a dollar a word
for the outlawed words used which
they scored up against him. That
ex-mayor will probably henceforth
make his extemporized orations in
his back yard or down in the cellar.

OPERA HOUSE.
The Wilmington Specialty Company.
The Wilmington Specialty Company
gave a performance last night at the
Opera House lor the benefit of the Wil
mington Light Infantry Armory, which
was a success in every particular.
Before the doors opened the Second
Regiment Band played some airs which
for melody and thorough training have
not been surpassed by any band in the
State, and they were applauded time
and again.
The curtain rose with "King Momus
Reception," arranged by Mr. Henry
Newman, and the tout ensemble was all
that could be desired, the orchestra,
under the guidance of Professor Miller,
giving music which for variety and
sweetness could not be surpassed.
"Bones" were represented by H. New
man and D. B. Poisson, the interlocutor
being F. M. Manning, and George Hew
lett and W. R. Morrison being "tam
bos." The first selection was "Classic Gems,"
by the Arion Quartette, which received
much merited applause.
Number 2 was a bass solo b Mr. R.
H. Grant, which brought down the
house, as also did the solo of Mr. Frank
Meier.
The song and dance of Mr. Ed. Moore
was the next attraction which was a gem
in every sense of the word, as was at
tested by the audience in loud and ap
preciative words.
"Comic Ditty" of Mr. George Hew
lett was the next thing on the boards,
and it received most merited applause.
Part first ended with an overture, and
part second commenced with the ap
pearance of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Hew
lette who appeared in a comedy sketch
full of new songs and funny sayings.
"Swinging in the Grape Vine Swing,"
arranged by Mr. Ed. Moore and inter
preted by Messrs. Morrison, Smith,
Burkheimer, Rowan, Grainger and
Moore, also received a full share of ap
plause for their rendition of this piece.
The Wilmington Mandolin Club, con
sisting of Messrs. Miller, Murchison,
Collins, Huggins, Heinsberger and'At
kinson, gave a great musical treat, and
were encored most enthusiastically.
Mr. George Hewlett's impersonation
ol the aged darkey was most natural
and like-like, and "Dixie Trixie" will
always be remembered with pleasure.
Mr. Henry Newman, as usual, won
rounds of applause for himself and his
comical manners and original ways, and
pleased all, who were not slow to show
their appreciation.
One of the events ol the evening was
"Fun on a Clothes Line," by Mr. Robt.
Hewlette, Mrs. Maggie and Baby Hew
lette. Mr. Robt. Hewlette, in this act,
had full opportunity to show to the
public that his reputation as a tight rope
walker had not been at all exaggerated,
for he is undoubtedly an adept in this
line of business, as was fully shown last
night, and some of hisTeats on the slack
wire were truly wonderful.
The principal event of the evening
was "The Sword Drill," arranged by Ed.
Moore, and executed by Messrs. Heins
berger, Grainger, Collins, Atkinson,
Burnett, Oldham, White, Lewis.'.Wood
ward, Myers, Smith, DeRosset and
Moore. The evolutions which were
performed were truly wonderful, and the
precision with which everything was
done showed not only thorough train
ing but a most consummate knowledge
of everything requisite for success.
The performance closed with a farce
entitled "Is marriage a failure," and i
was a most laughable one.
The performance was a great success
and the largest house ever seen in Wil
mington was present to show their ap
preciation of the Wilmington amateurs.
A matinee will be given this afternoon
and a street parade at half past one
o'clock, and those who desire to see a
first-class performance in every particu
lar should not fail to attend.
The receipts last night were over
three hundred dollars, which shows
how anxious all were to help the cause
for which the performance was given.
The matinee this afternoon is given
especially for the children, and the exact
programme of last night will be present
ed in fuil4he admission only being
twenty-five cents to all parts of the
house. "s.

FORT FISHER.
A New Summer Resort Project for a
Railroad to Connect the Place -with
Carolina Beach.
Mr. L. D. Cherry, who has been mak
ing surveys along the coast from this
city to Fort Fisher,- jor the "Fort Fisher
Land and Improvement Company," ex
hibited at the Star office yesterday a
large map of the coast line from Caro
lina Beach to Fort Fisher, over which he
has made surveys for a line of railroad be
tween the two places named a distance
of four and a half miles as straight as an
arrow, and as level as a floor. He says
the company has bought the right of
way for the road between Carolina
Beach and Fort Fisher, and has besides
purchased a great deal of land along the
line of, this contemplated road and at
Fort Fisher. The company propose to
construct the railroad at once, to
build a hotel at Fort Fisher, and to sell
lots for residences for summer visitors.
It is a good scheme, and will no doubt
prove a successful venture to the projec
tors. There is no stretch of coast along
the seaboard equal to that extending
from Carolina Beach to Fort Fisher;
that furnishes such excellent and safe
surf-bathing, a firm hard beach for driv
ing, fine fishing, and is, withal, free from
those fierce gales and devastating tides
that sweep the coast at other points. .
RIVER AND MARINL.
Enforcing Quarantine Regulations
at
Southport.
The Southport Leader reports a case
of considerable importance tried before
Justice Galloway at Southport, it being
a case of violating the quarantine regu
lations at this port. The Leader says :
The schooner Florence, in tow of the
tug E. Heipenhausen, from off Cuba,
bound North, came into this harbor
Thursday p. m., anchoring in the lower
harbor instead of at the quarantine
grounds. As an accommodation the
tug was inspected first Friday morning
in order to get a supply of freh water
and coal so as to be able to proceed
northward with her tow. On the first
landing of the Heipenhausen, Capt. Gold
of the schooner came ashore. Dr. Curtis,
Quarantine Physician of the port, learn
ing of this, notified the captain that he
must remain on board his vessel until
released, to which the captain replied in
an insolent manner, coming ashore the
second time, and was immediately ar
rested on a warrant issued by Dr. Cur
tis for violating quarantine regulations.
At the trial Dr. Curtis stated the regu
lations familiar to all, that any vessel
South of the Cape Fear must submit to
inspection, and that no one was allowed
to come ashore until linspection had
been made. The law had been violated
by Capt. Gold. In defence Capt. Gold
claimed that he was on a vessel in distress
bound from one American port to an
other, having a clean bill of health from
Key West Quarantine Station, also that
he was aboard the tug as much as the
schooner, and wished to gain time by
staying on the tug while in the harbor,
and that he was not informed as to the
regulations. Dr. Curtis then said that
clearing the tug only permitted actual
members of the tug to come on shore,
and as a vessel captain, the law should
have been known to Captain Gold, but
that he would not press the case it
Captain Gold went aboard of his vessel
at once and hoisted the quarantine flag.
Captain Gold agreed to this and was let
off with payment of costs.
