A canvass by the Bible Society in
five counties in Maine' shows that
there are 10,413 native familes who
never go to church, and 982 families
who don't own a Bible. It is not
surprising that a man like Tom
Reed could go to Congress from a
State like that.
Senator Pettigrew thinks whether
there be any foundation for the re
port that Secretary Noble intends
retiring from the cabinet or not it is
the proper thing for him to do, as
he "is utterly incompetent intellect

It is said that the Japanese police

The Prince of Wales couldn't
swear to a lie in the baccarat suit to
save his friend Cumming, as he did
in the Lady M'ordaunt divorce case
some years ago. That was the case
in which Robert Toombs, of Geor

like a gentleman." His lying in that
case was condoned by club senti
ment because it was done to save the
reputation of a "lady." But Com-
ming is no "lady."

There is said to be great mortaiitv
among the Kansas chinch,bugs, the
result of inoculating bugs with the
virus of disease, an idea which a
Kansas bugologest got into his head
sometime ago and on which he has
been experimenting for somet ime.
ie injects the disease germs into
some bugs and then turns them
loose to communicate the disease to
others. That's the way he proposes
to exterminate them. At the rate
which the chinches are dropping off
now the opinion is that he has hit
the right idea. If he had tried this
on some of the Kansas politicians
some time ago the State might ha ve
escaped the racket it has gone
through lately.
The American Protective Tariff

Inside Water-Way.
The Columbia, S. C, correspondent
of the Charleston News and Courier,
says:
Capt. Daggett, of Horry, is in the
city to-day. He has the contracts for
doing a great deal of the United States
government work between the Wacca-
maw river and the proposed connection
with Cape Fear river, which, when com
plete, will give an inside route from
Cape Cod to the St. John s. lhe route
proposed is through Juniper Creek
twenty miles, Briar Bay nine miles, and
thence through Town Creek to the Cape
Fear river. The- value of this connec
tion needs no comment. Capt. Daggett
also says that phosphates of high grade
are found in the Waccamaw, and he be
lieves that this is an indication that de
posits in large and valuable quantities
will be discovered,"

THE FIRST HALF-HOLIDAY.
"Excursions to all the Seaside Resorts.
The first half-holiday of the season
was inaugurated yesterday by excursions
to the seaside resorts. The boats and
trains had their full complement of
passengers, who had a delightful day
for their outing.
At Carolina Beach there were many
visitors, the 2.30 p. m. boat carrying
down about two hundred ladies and
gentlemen. The German ia Cornet
Band was on board and furnished fine
music. At the Beach many enjoyed the
surf, while others danced to the music
furnished by Prof. Miller's orchestra.
A large number spent the day at the
Hammocks, and but for the threatening
clouds and a shower of rain about sun
down many more would have gone
down on the supper train. The Second
Regiment Band left the city for the
Hammocks on the afternoon train and
gave a delightful concert in the pavilion.
The trombone solo by Mr. Samuel
Compton deserves special mention; his
execution is' fine and his phrasing and
expression are those of an artist. Prof.
Whiteley is to be congratulated in se
curing a musician of his ability for the
band and orchestra.
After a delicious supper by "mine
host" Hunter, the Second Regiment or
chestra furnished music for the young
people who were fond of dancing, until
the departure of the last train for the
city.
The Y. M. C. A. excursion to Jack
sonville, over the W. O. & E. C. rail
road, left the city about half-past two
o'clock in the afternoon. There were
about one hundred and fifty in the
party. They made the run to Jackson
ville in two hours. Here, some of the
party took a trip on New River, by
steamer, enjoying the scenery and had
lots of fun shooting at alligators. The
train left for Wilmington at 7 p. m., and
arrived at nine o'clock.
THE ELECTION CASE.
The Trial Postponed Until Tuesday Next.
Some of the members of the Nww
Hanover Canvassing Board, who were
called to Raleigh to appear before the
United States Court, with witnesses and
others who accompanied them, returned

were defendants having been continued
until Tuesday next. The gentlemen of
the party who returned are Col. Jno.

The Town of Benson Swept bv a Hurri
caneA Chnrch Blown Down and
Other Buildings Damaged.
Special Star Correspondence.
Benson, Johnston Co., June 5.
Tenppte-otthe little town of Benson
and vicinity on the Wilson f ayette-
yille "Short Cut" were badly shocfied
yesterday evening about 4 o'clock by a
terrific hurricane, which passed through
this section. It came from the North
west and moved with great velocity
bringing with it a dense cloud of dust,
which rendered it almost as impossible to
see any distance as if it had been mid
night. It lasted only a few minutes, but
in its fury did - considerable damage.
Scores of trees were blown up by the
roots and twisted off, fences scattered,
and several of the largest business
houses in our town were badly shaken
and some of them careened. The Bap
tist church building here, which was not
completed, is wholly prostrated. It is
almost a total loss, as it is thought but
little of the timbers can be used in re
building a substantial house. But we
bow in humble submission to the hand
of Providence He will direct for our
better.
So far as we can learn there is but
little damage done other than through
this section.
