The Belgrade boys stood by ex Queen Natalie manfully, and the rulers found that banishing Natalie from Belgrade is rather up grade work. Professor Totten, of Yale, says the millennium will be here before April, 1S92, and that he is "on it with both heels." That's a nice reception to give the millennium Northern ladies are now using broad-heel shoes, which shows that the Northern ladies are getting a better understanding of some things than they have heretofore had. President Harrison's tour was en gineered by the Pennsylvania Rail road Company, which managed everything so nicely that there wasn't a miss anywhere throughout the entire tour. A small quantity of tea from China arrived at London recently cost $15 a pound, and was pro nounced, by experts, worth the money. We are not using much of that kind just now. The Chicago Tribune, Rep., is of the opinion that if the pension rolls were weeded as they should be "at least one-fourth of the names on them would come off." And that is putting it very mildly. Mr. Harrison made a hundred and thirty-nine speeches in his swing 'round, and never said force bill nor -silver coinage once. His speeches are not so remarkable for what he did as for what he did not say. Herr Bleichroder, a great Berlin banker, says Russia won't think of war for at least three years. She is equipping her army with a new rifle, and it will take her three years to do the work and get her army in good fighting trim. Shoreham, Vermont, must be a sweet burg. It has seven hundred colonies of bees which are expected to turn out this year seventy thou sand pounds of honey. With honey and maple sugar, with a bounty on it, Vermonters may wear store clothes yet. The Florida Legislature don't take to the proposition to elect U. S. Sen ators by popular vote. If this were done the members of the Legislature could never more have the fun the Call and anti-Call fellows are now having in the Senatorial racket. Congressman Bynum, of Indiana, thinks Senator Gorman stands about as good a chance for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency as any one whose name has been mentioned. If Gorman was nominated and ran his own campaign it would be a daisy one. Queen Victoria is going to give Prince Albert a lift by paying about $1,500,000 of his debts for him, but she don't propose to let him do the paying. It will be pretty hard on the old lady to pay so much out of her savings from sales of butter, milk, fat pigs, &c, but Albert was on the ragged edge and somebody had to come to the rescue. r VOL. XLVI11.-NO. 50. There were two very - much sur prised people in a Chicago street car the other day, a man and a boy. The boy was rude to some ladies and the man to punish him reached out, spread him across his knees and had just become interested in the spank ing when the strange yell of the boy reminded him that it was some other man's boy he was spanking and not his own as he supposed. He was a near-sighted Chicago man. The latest indications are that the Russian Czarowitz was out paint ing things red in Japan when he ran up against that "religious fanatic" who swiped him over the head with a sword. He and his party got into some place of amusement and wanted to run the whole shebang to which the man with the sword objected so vigorously that the young man from Russia was immediately laid up for repairs. New York is going to try "mo ra suasion" to keep the streets clean, and pledges are being sent around to house-keepers binding them not to dump garbage, etc., on the streets. This won't be half as effective as the plan struck by these Cincinnati women who organized that broom. hoe and rake brigade, and made the City Fathers ashamed of themselves. Ingalls is going to lecture. Pay $500 a night. Lecturing is not a "protected" industry, but there is more money in it than in raising po tatoes. The Secretary of the Interior has di rected that the Catholic sisters Angela O Callahan and Vmcentia Coughhn, teachers, who were dismissed from the Government school on the Menominee reservation, Wisconsin, by Agent Kel sey, be restored to their positions.

In the Criminal Court yesterday, the grand jury returned a true bill in the case of Isham Thompson, colored, charged with the murder of Alexander Green, colored, on the 4th day of April last.

The Court appointed next Monday as the day of trial and ordered a special venire of seventy men to be summoned, from which to select a jury. Mr. Marsden Bellamy is council for the prisoner.

UN l NO N. C, WEDNESDAY, WILMINGTON LIGHT INFANTRY. Indispensable to "Wilmington "Will Her People Now Lend a Helping Hand to the Armory Fund P Recent events have again shown con clusively that the Wilmington Light In fantry is indispensable to the preserva tion of the peace in this city in great emergencies. The consensus of opinion is that the police on duty near the jail Sunday morning rould most probably have been resisted if an effort had been made to make wholesale arrests. They were ready and willing to obey any orders that might be given them, but the force was not large, and while they might have proved their ability to overcome the dis orderly crowd, which was rapidly as suming the character of a mob, it is a fair conclusion that this could not have been done without bloodshed. The presence of the military so near the scene had a moral effect that unques tionably removed all necessity for re sorting to violent measures. The promptness, the coolness, the fidelity, the courage of the members of this fine military organization have re ceived unstinted praise, all of which they richly deserved. But it is time now for the peaceable and law-abiding peo ple to reflect more seriously on the real value of this company to Wilmington, and to take steps for its more substantial support. The city au thorities are becoming more and more impressed with the conviction that it is necessary to keep up the organization; and are becoming more liberal in its ap propriations looking to that end. The county, too, though not so deeply inter ested as the city, should make a reason able annual appropriation. But the citizens, as individuals, should enter heartily into any movement whose object is to strengthen the Light In fantry in numbers and to add to its esprit de corps. Just now, the ques tion in which the boys are most deeply interested is the building of an armory suited to their wants, and which should be made an ornament to Wilmington. The city has already donated a valuable lot, eligibly located, for this purpose, and the Com pany have the nucleus of a building fund, consisting of six thousand dol lars, now in their treasury. But they ought to have an armory with three floors, and to cost not less than $20,000. Will the good people of Wilmington aid them in this work, and will they do it now The Star some time ago suggested a plan, which it still considers entirely practicable, by which the armory fund might be largely increased. The plan, in brief, is this: Appoint a committee, to be composed of three members of the Company and three influential citizens, who will make a thorough canvass of the city and solicit subscriptions to the armory fund. Fix the amounts at $24.00, $48.00, $96.00, or more, sums that will divide evenly on twelve and twenty-four, and make the subscriptions payable in monthly instalments of one dollar or two dollars each, as may be thought best, until the whole amount is paid. Some subscribers, doubtless, would pay their entire subscriptions at once; but there are scores of friends of the Wilmington Light Infantry, not able to pay $24.00 or more at one time, who would gladly contribute that sum, or even a larger sum, if they could make the payments in small amounts every month. We shall be glad to hear that this plan meets with favorable considera tion not because it is suggested by the Star, but because we believe that, if pushed with promptness and energy, it will add thousands of dollars to the armory fund of the Wilmington Light Infantry. "SCHEDULE B" TAX. Meeting of Merchants who Propose to Test the Constitutionality of the Law. A number of merchants of this city, subscribers to the fund for contesting in the courts the constitutionality of the "Schedule B" tax, held a meeting yes terday at noon at the Produce Ex change. Mr. D. L. Gore presided, with Mr. R. M. Katz secretary. Mr. R. M. Mclntire, from the com mittee appointed at a previous meeting, reported $804 subscribed to the fund. A committee of three was, on motion, appointed by the Chair Messrs. J. C. Stevenson, J. C. Whitlock and R. M. Katz to correspond with merchants at other places and endeavor to ' secure their co-operation in the movement. On motion, the former committe, ap pointed to secure contributions to the fund and to engage counsel, was con tinued, but were instructed not to en gage counsel until hearing from mer chants of other towns in the Mate. Weather Forecasts. The following are the weather fore casts lor to-day: For Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, light showers, stationary temperature, winds becoming southeast. For Eastern and Western Florida, generally fair, stationary temperature, southeast winds. MAY 20, 1891. THE LUTHERAN CHAPEL. Sunday ' Services Formal Opening Su perior Singing, Etc. The beautiful quiet Sunday morning found no happier people in our city than the Lutherans, who met at 10.30 a. m., to take formal possession of the elegant Mission Chapel, described in our Sunday morning's issue, and to hold the first session of the Mission Sunday School therein. The exercises and ser vices of the occasion were of necessity varied and out of the usual line, but both highly appropriate and interesting. During the Sunday School exercises, Mr. C. W. Polvogt, the efficient Super intendent, made a short address, ex pressing his delight at being able to meet with the dear children in the new and so elegant edifice. He was followed by W. H. Strauss, Esq., who spoke at greater length on the duties of the hour, and on the impetus the work so far done by the blessing of God should give the noble cause, and emphasized the fact that the one sole object of the Mission was to do good. He congratulated all on the possession of such a handsome building and hoped God might ever bless what would be done here. Rev. F. W. E. Peschau presented the Sunday School, on behalf and in the name of different friends, a number of necessary gifts, as a clock, bell, table, mattina:, carpets, etc. These gifts were received with unmistakable evidences of joy and appreciation by the School and the workers therm. These gifts add very materially to the equipments of the Mission in its work. At the close of the Sunday School ex ercises Prof. J. C. Miller, Jr., and Prof. J. H. Rehder played some charming cornet duets. The first services were begun about 11 o'clock. An excellent choir of eight rendered in most superior manner some appropriate anthems. Rev. Mr. Peschau delivered a sermon appropriate to the occasion on Matt. 13:52, using as his theme the use of the old and new. He set forth the mingled views that greet us everywhere, in the leafy forests, in the gardens of flowers, etc' He hoped the old story of the Cross would ever be presented in this new ed ifice and that truth might be presented in new form, new illustration and with ever constant new vigor. He spoke of how, to some, the Luth eran Church seemed to be a new church which was not the case, but that it was the first and oldest Protestant Church, and that some of its adherents had been among the first to help to settle this country, and that they took a prom inent part in shaping this nation a cen tury ago. He read the following extract from a letter of George Washington to the Lutherans of Philadelphia: "I rejoice in having so suitable an occasion to testify the reciprocity of my esteem for the numerous People you represent. From the excellent character for dili gence, sobriety and virtue, which the Germans in general, who are settled in America, have ever maintained, I cannot forbear felicitating myself on receiving from so respectable a number of them such strong assurances of their affection for my person, confidence in my integ rity, and zeal to support me in my en deavors for promoting the welfare of our common country." He spoke of how fast the Lutheran Church was becoming English in this country, and that she was growing faster than any other in the United States; that one body with over 1,000 ministers, over 1,400 congregations and over 150, 000 members was English, and they were carrying on mission work in a way that was surprising. In York, Pa., a city about the size of Wilmington, re cently the 9th Lutheran Church had been started; that there are 26 in Minne apolis, 33 in Baltimore, 45 in Philadel phia and 63 in Chicago, and that some of them numbered 2,000 members. He deemed it necessary that more should be known of this old Church that she might ever make new friends and that in her work for God and man, she might be encouraged and helped, until the glorious blessings of the new life in Heaven should be given us through our faith in the blessed old Book of God on earth. A fine sum was raised to help on the good work, and the congregation dis persed at the close of the first service in the Lutheran Mission Chapel in Brook lyn. Colored Excursionists . A big excursion of colored people arrived here yesterday from Florence and other points on the W. C, & A. jtailroad. They numbered about 450, including thirty members of the colored fire company "Pet No. 3," of Florence. Market and Front streets were crowded with the visitors, who seemed to enjoy themselves prodigiously. A brass band was a feature of the occasion, and made it a howling success. The soda water fountains, "hobby horses" and peanut stands took in stacks of nickels, and said: "Come again." All the leading dry goods stores' will close at one o'clock to-morrow so that their clerks may go on the W. L. I. excursion. TAR WHOLE NO. 7,655 THE TAX LEVY.
