An enterprising American has pot
himself into the clutches of the min
ions of the law in London by kind
ly offering to show a London jeweler
how to melt a British sovereign and
turn out three times as much gold
as there was in the sovereign. With
this secret and this magic crucible
the jeweler's fortune was a dead
sure thing, for all he would have to
do would be to get sovereigns, melt
'em down, turn out three for one,
and become a Croesus. But instead
of appreciating the American's kind
offer, and tumbling to it, he made an
appointment with the man of the'
magic crucible at his shop, and then
stowed some brutal policemen where
they could peep through a crack in
the wall and see the whole business.
And just about the time the crucible
man got his crucible in full blast
these brutal policemen rushed in,
seized the sovereign multiplier,
marched him off to the calaboose,
and confiscated his crucible.

RNI
MISSIONARY SERMON.
Dr. Lambuth. at Grace M. E. Church Last
Night A Very Interesting Discourse.
A crowded and most attentive audi
ence assembled at Grace M. E. Church
last night to hear the address of Dr.
Lambuth, a missionary of the M. E.
Church South from Japan. Never in
the history of Wilmington have our
people had the opportunity of hearing
such a masterly man handle the subject
of Missions in such a wonderful manner.
Dr. Lambuth impressed the congrega
tion at his entrance upon the platform
as a man of extraordinary ability, and for
over one hour and a half he held them
with a power that one feels only a few
times during a lifetime. It seemed im
possible to cover so much ground in
snch a connected and graphic style in
the time taken by the speaker. He
linked a geography and history lesson
of that most highly interesting people
in a manner that profoundly impressed
every intelligent hearer. The popula
tion of japan is estimated at
about 40,000,000 equal to that of
Corea, Brazil, 'Egypt and Siam.
Its area is about one-fourth larger than
that of the British Isles, with only one
Christian member, to every 22,000 in
habitants. Aborigines of the Island
are fast becoming extinct living now
among the mountains of the northern
portion and in a state similar to that of
our American Indians.
The speaker took the audience in a
voyage from Wilmington to San Fran
cisco, across the Pacific; landed at Yoka
homa, and then through the isthmus,
and across the Yellow Sea to China, in
such a delightful manner, one forgot to
be sea-sick and quite lost the true idea
of the size of our sphere.
The speaker, so conscious of the
providence of God in national as well as
in individual life, traced'a Divine hand
in the absorption of the Roman Empire
at the time of;its holding sway over the
world, as the great highway through
which roads were opened for the pro
gress of the missionary and the estab
lishment of Christ's Kingdom.
The speaker dwelt at length upon the
capacity of the Japanese as compared
with the Chinese, showing that no
nation upon the globe is more acute,
precocious and patriotic. They, as a
nation, have realized the fallacy of
Buddhism and Confucianism, and are
just in the condition either to decay in
corruption or be vitalized with Chris
tianity. The Japanese realize that the
Anglo-Saxon is the ruler of the
world, and are ready to adopt all
our modern civilization and improve
upon it for the rebuilding of their
kingdom. Dr. Lambuth here made a most
earnest appeal to the Church ot Christ
to arise at once out of its lethargy and
send the Gospel to this people, above
all others ready to receive it.
The masterly lecture was interspersed
with incidents highly amusing to Am
ericans; steak houses on many high
ways inviting the passers-by
to come in, and for a small
amount partake of the beef that
makes the Caucasian the ruler of the
world. Another a most threatening
picture of an old lady living in a vol
canic district called upon by a mis
sionary for some dinner. He found the
hostess quietly cooking her meal over an
active fire, blazing and gurgling in the
earth beneath. The Japanese hold
about the same relation to China that
the British Empire does to Europe, and
upon the Japanese Islands mainly de
pends the evangelization of the Chinese.
Japan is rich in coal beds, has intri
cate water routes thus furnishing its
own resources for becoming one of the
greatest manufacturing centres of the
world. The speaker spoke with interest
about Japanese life the houses with
their scarcity of furniture; table manners,
with chopsticks, and alluded to the cus
tom of leaving their shoes at the door,
sitting on their heels, meeting the host
on all-fours, who meets him in the same
graceful manner.
The subject of education was touch
ed upon. The schools are of the finest
grades; kindergarten has been adopted
and medical colleges, comparing favor
ably with European institutions. The
postal system is far more complete than
m America. It is almost impossible for
mail to be lost "upon the island. Dr.
Lambuth himself reeeived a letter once
bearing thirteen tags, thus having gone
through the hands of thirteen post
master, and thirteen chiefs of police.
The speaker dwelt at length upon the
patriotism of the Japanese, delighting in
their wonderful Empire; but realizing in
the midst of their intellectual expansion
the error of their prevailing religion
Shintuism. Buddhism is being revived.
As the Empire now stands the present
generation of young Japanese do not
attend worship. They realize keenly that
heathenism will not keep pace in this
century with strong intellectual growth
and they are crying out for the True
God. The rulers realize that without
the young people worship the Empire
will have no constituency they are dis
cussing the principle of Sunday schools,
bishops and archbishops; are willing
to accept at least the strong morality of
the Scriptures.
At this juncture the speaker made a
lasting appeal to Christians to come at
the crisis and give them the bread and
water of life.

Fire Yesterday Morning.
Fire broke out yesterday morning
about five o'clock in Mr. Jas. F. Post's
office in the frame building on Princess
street opposite the court house. The
fire spread -through the ceiling to the
shed roof at the back of the building,
and when the firemen arrived the place
was all ablaze inside. They had
to force their way through the
weather-boarding to get at the
fire and subdue tit, .which was
speedily accomplished. Mr. Post's
books and papers were destroyed, or
ruined. Mr. Marsden Bellamy's law
office adjoining, was damaged, but most

for $600, and Mr. Bellamy had insur
ance on his books and office furniture
for $500.

BOARD OF MISSIONS
Of the M. E. Church South Yesterday's
Proceedings.
The Board of Missions of the M. E.
Church South met in Grace Church at
9 a. m. yesterday. All the Bishops were
present and, with but few exceptions, all
the members of the Board.
The President, E. W. Cole, of Nash
ville, having been detained, the Vice
President, P. A. Peterson, took the
chair. Bishop Hagood led in prayer.
The secretary presented the annual
report of the Secretary and Treasurer
and the report of the Committee on
Estimates.
The report was taken up by fields and
the aggregate amount of $260,000 was
appropriated to the several fields under
the charge of the Board. They will con
tinue their regular business to-day and
perhaps finish their annual work.
A resolution was adopted that the
calls for new missionaries shall be
limited to the number for which the
Board at an annual meeting shall make
either absolute orjspecial appropriations.
THE WEATHER.
What it Was Yesterday The Forecasts
for To-day.
The weather records of the Signal
Office give the following report of the
range of temperature, etc., yesterday:
At 8 a. m., 60u; 8 p. m 62"; maximum
temperature, 71; minimum,48; average
59; prevailing wind, southeast Total
rainfall, 00.
The area of high pressure, which has
been mentioned during the past few
days, was very much modified yesterday,
the highest pressure being 30.38 at
Knoxville, Tenn. This "high" will
probably move off the coast to-day. It
has become much warmer in the north
west and slightly warmer along the
South Atlantic coast. At 8 a. m, light
to fresh south to west winds prevailed
along the coast north of Hatteras," south
of which place the winds were light to
fresh, from the north and east. -
The following are the weather fore
casts for to-day:
For Virginia, North Carolina and
Tennessee, fair Saturday and Sunday,
slightly warmer, south winds.
Government Inspectors.
Capt. W. H. Gannon, United States
inspector of hulls, and Mr. E.E. Groom,
the newly appointed inspector of boilers
for this inspection district, arrived here
yesterday on an official visit. Mr.
Groom succeeds Mr. Thos. C. O'Keefe,
whom all our steamboat men regretted
to see displaced, and we see by the
Charleston papers that this is to be
Capt. Gannon's last official visit. Mr
Peter Toglio is to succeed Capt. Gan
non, the appointment to take effect
June 1st. Both Capt. Gannon and Mr.
O'Keefe were appointees of the Cleve
land administration, and their displace
ment is on strictly political grounds.
Capt. Gannon came here a few years
ago on his first official visit and since
that time has made for himself so
many friends he was almost claimed as
a citizen of Wilmington. In his retire
ment from official life he bears with him
the respect and esteem of all who had
business relations with him. His per
sonal friends only regret that it will
possibly, cause him to visit Wilmington
