Specie exports from New York for the week amounted to 5,b0o,104. A difficulty occurred in Greensboro Friday night between Mr. Bill Fife, the drum mer evangelist, and Judge David Schenck, growing out of remarks made by Mr. Fife in reference to a ball at the Guilford Battle Grounds; blows were struck and a pistol was fired; but no one was seriously hurt.

Of course they foot the bill for all this print ing in the interest of the dear peo ple. The tongue of the giraffe is a foot and a half long, but he manages it a good deal better than Russell Har rison does his tongue which is not near so long. But Russell is not a giraffe. Some of the the papers are asking what the Seuate will do if John Sherman should be left out in the next deal. Why, it will just have to buy more ice to keep down the tem perature. As a temperature cooler John was useful. The Emperor of Japan is opposed to the amusement of duelling in his country. He has issued an edict against it, and the penalty he impos es is that those who break the com mand shall spend the balance of their days breaking rock. A California man has recently had a nut removed from his lungs by a process similar to that which killed Dr. Bothwell, of Brooklyn. But Dr. Bothwell was not a California man. We have heard of California men being cut all to pieces, pulling them selves together and coming out in a few days brand new. An Indiana widow has a clock which, although not running for some time, now persists in striking at three o'clock every morning, about the time her liege lord was in the habit of getting home from the lodge. She set it and it got so in the habit of striking at that time that it keeps right on, whether it keeps time or not. Some bright genius in the West Indies has struck on the happy idea of drying bananas for shipment. The suffering pedestrians of this country who took the chances of seeing stars on the peeling of the 12,500,000 bunches which were ship ped into this country last year will read this announcement with solid comfort. An Illinois farmer has an animated barometer in the person of his son about ten or eleven years old. He can' always tell three days ahead when a storm is coming, for the hair on the boy's head begins to curl as the storm approaches and keeps curling until it almost lifts the little fellow out of his skin. After the storm passes it straightens out and waits for the next storm when it goes into business again as usual. 1 Col. bhepard, of the N. Y. Mail and Expresss, is 0e of the truly good men Who believes in keeping the Sabbath, and almost anything else that he can get worth keeping. In Paris some years ago some friends wanted him to go the races on Sun day, but he declined, preferring to go to church. It turned out to be a drizzling day, and one of his friends, a lady, took sick. He didn't take sick. But he might have gone' to the races without taking sick. The braying species to which he belongs can stand a good deal of drizzling weather without taking sick. The Des Moines, Iowa, Register, Rep., says: "Iowa Republicans will favor holding the National Conven tion in a city and State- where the leading papers stand squarely in favor of the principles of Republi canism.

The Alliance Meeting. There was a very large gathering, principally farmers, at the Alliance meeting held at Goldsboro yesterday. Col. L. L. Polk, the head-centre of the organization, delivered that same old speech, and was followed by Hon. Thos. E. Watson, of Georgia. A large num ber of the farmers seemed to take no interest in the meeting, and remained down town, where they smoked their pipes and chatted about crops. Yesterday's "Weatner.

The steamer Wilmington will leave for Carolina Beach to-day at 2.30 o clock. A cart-load of cantaloupes in market yesterday afternoon were sold at 5 to 15 cents apiece. Rev. I. Nixon, colored, will baptise eighteen persons at Brunswick ferry at 12 o'clock noon to-day. Mayor Ricaud spent yesterday at the Hammocks, and Mayor pro tern. Adrian was in charge of the munici pality. One white and seven colored couples donned the harness matrimonial the past week, according to the records in the Register's office. Interments the past week are reported as follows: Pine Forest (col ored; cemetery, five adults and two children: Bellevue, one adult. A Star reporter was told yes terday that the city tax in Charlotte is only 85 cents on the hundred dollars. And Charlotte is a live city, too. Watermelons from farms in the neighborhood of the city were in market yesterday the first of the season and were held at 20 to 50 cents apiece. "The Church, should it have a Creed?

The "runner" was rapidly making his way up a China tree when Tom ' did him up." A special telegram to the Star, on our fourth page, reports tremendous excitement in Greensboro over an as sault on Evangelist Fife by Dr. Schenck, a son of Judge Schenck. The street-sweeper and the street-sprinkler were worked together on b ront street yesterday. A bystander suggested that the whiskers on the street-sweeper needed trimming. The Postmaster requests the Star to state that Monday morning, the 29th inst., at 10 a. m., will be the last chance to get the deposits for keys to boxes in the old postoffice refunded. A horse owned by Mr. B. J. H. Ahrens, while drawing a load of ice yesterday afternoon, was overcome by heat and fell at the corner of Fifth and Chesnut streets. He soon recovered sufficiently to be led to his stable. District Deputy Grand Master J. E. Silva, Jr., will instal the officers of Orion Lodge 67, I. O. O. F., on Wed nesday night, July 1st. This Lodge ini tiated four members, and conferred the third degree on six more on last Friday night. There was a rumor on the streets last night that a white man named Logan Hawkins, a citizen of Brunswick county, had been drowned in the Cape Fear river last evening by the upsetting of his boat, while on his way home from the city. Capitalists generally avoid cities where the taxation seems to be heavy and oppressive. A reduction of the rate here to 1J per cent, will be a good ad vertisement for Wilmington, which now stands high up in the list of heavily- taxed cities. There will be an excursion to Carolina Beach next Tuesday by the young ladies, iormer pupns oi tne Academy ot the Incarnation, under the management of the Young Catholics Friend Society. The Pride of the Cape Fear "will walk the waters," of course. The Star is requested to state that there will be a citizens meeting next Tuesday afternoon at 6 o'clock, in the rooms of the Wilmington Library Association, Market street, between Front and Second. All friends of the Tileston School are invited to be pre sent. At a recent meeting of the Quarterly Conference of Market Street M. E.

The State Fireman's Association of North Carolina will meet in Durham August 25th. The meeting will be of great importance and one in which the firemen of this city are taking a lively interest.

CHILDREN'S DAY. Celebrations by St. Paul's and St. Mat thew's Lutheran Sunday Schools. The Sunday School of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church will cele brate "Children's Day" with appropriate exercises at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, in Luther Memorial Building. Parents and friends of the scholars are invited to be present. This is the nearest Sun day to the anniversary of the presenta tion of the Augsburg Confession to the Lutheran Church. ST. MATTHEW'S MISSION. Children's Day celebration at St. Matthew's Evangelical Lutheran Mis sion, on Fourth street, between Bladen and Harnett, will be held at 9.30 a. m. to-day. Exercises will be interspersed with singing, and an address will be de livered. At 11 a. m. English services will be conducted by Mr. B. H. W. Runge. All are welcome. Seats free. The Tax Question. The action of the County Commission ers in regard to a reduction of taxation meets with universal favor. They pro pose to reduce the county tax levy from 47 cents to 37 cents, and request the Chairman of the Board of Magistrates to call a meeting of the Board at an early day to consider the resolution of the Commissioners. The Magis trates will doubtless ratify the action of the Commissioners who admit that with the largely increased valuation of real estate and the addition of the Wilmington and Weldon Rail road taxes, they would have more money than needed without a reduction of the tax rate. The action ot the County Commis sioners will no doubt be ioiiowea Dy similar action on the part ot the Board of Aldermen and Board of Audit and Finance, the net result, probably, being a reduction ot the city tax to 1 per cent. Excursion to Carolina Beach. St. Matthew's Lutheran Mission Sun day School will give an excursion to Carolina Beach Wednesday next, and promise an enjoyable occasion to all who join them. Refreshments will be served on the boat and at the Beach. The committee of arrangements is Messrs. C. W. Polvogt, W. Heins, Thos. J. Pue, and Jno. F. Rulfs, Jr. NO WILMINGTONIANS ABROAD. THE GREAT WEST AS SEEN BY TAR HEEL EYES- Mr. Or. W. " "Williams and Family Make an Extended Tour of the West and Horth A Country of Hustlers "Bust ed" Booms, and Others That are Still Alive Former "Wilmingtonians in the "West The Old North State Superior to All. Mr. John K. Williams, who recently returned, with his father's family, from an extended trip to the Pacific coast and through the North, consented to tell a Star reporter something of the trip. The party, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Williams, their daughters, Misses Fannie and Martha, and their sons, Messrs. John K. and Albert S. Williams, left Wilmington on the 16th of last April on the Atlantic Coast Line 10:10 p. m. train South. Breakfasting the next morning at Savannah, they continued the journey, and passing through Pensacola, Fla.. and Mobile, Ala., they reached NEW ORLEANS Saturday morning, where they remained until Monday noon, visiting the great French Market and other points of in terest. While there they met Mr. Henry Shaw, a former Wilmingtonian, but who is now in business in the "Crescent City." Continuing their journey Monday, by the Southern Pacific railroad, they were transferred 17 mile's around the great crevasse that had flooded the opposite suburbs, and then passed through a-sec tion ot rice and sugar plantations, that were highly interesting. Passing through Houston, lexas, with an hour s stop for breakfast, and Dallas with a five hour's stop to see the city, they went to Fort Worth, Texas, where they spent several days. Then they passed through the great "Pan Handle" country and on to DENVER COLORADO where several day's were spent in view ing the metropolis of Colorado; a live go-ahead town that was very interesting. They then visited the beautiful town of Colorado Springs, and far-famed Mani- tou, at the foot of great Pike's Peak. They were not able to visit the summit of this world-renowned mountain, ' as the cog-wheel railroad was still buried beneath the winter's snow. They next visited Glenwood Springs, Colorado, noted for its vapor baths and its bub bling springs of water, varying in tem perature from ice cold to boiling hot. Their journey from there led over the snow-capped summits of the Rocky Mountains, through the wonderful "Royal Gorge" and through the fertile valleys of Utah to SALT LAKE CITY, where a day was spent in seeing the chief city of "the latter day saints," and the great Mormon temple; after which they proceeded by the Central Pacific railroad, through the city of Ogden and through rugged mountain scenery and miles of snow sheds; over the western range of the "Rockies," and down the Pacific Slope" through Sacramento, and on to SAN FRANCISCO THE "GOLDEN GATE." Here they tarried ten days and carried away the impression that it was the 'loudest town" on the continent. There they met Mr. Hayes W. Beatty, another old Wilmington boy, who is new in the business in "Frisco" and doing well. They visited that part of the city known as "Chinatown," with its 40,000 Chinese population visited the "Josh Houses," where John bows down to his wooden gods saw a small family of 18 who worked, ate and slept in a spacious apart ment ten feet by eight saw an outdoor lodging in the shape ot a boat raised above the sidewalk and reached by a ladder, in which a few "Celestials" found sleeping room on shelves two and a half feet wide by six feet long visited the Chinese markets, theatres and drug stores; and will not encourage any ex tended migration of "John" to Wil mington. From "Fresco" the party passed through the great grape-growing counties of California, over Mogave Mountain, and the desert of the same name, to the city of LOS ANGELES. There they spent two days enjoying the beautiful drives, looking at the elegant residences, the large number of which, with their miniature orange groves at tracted much attention. The recent "boom" has passed its zenith, but the city is still full of;life, and many elegant private and public buildings are in course of erection. SAN DIEGO was the next object point and on the way there they passed the old Santa Anna mission, with its adobe walls of great thickness, built 400 years ago it is said after old Spanish architectual designs. San Diego once had a boom and the town could not hold the new arrivals. The country was laid out in lots for 15 miles out and electric roads and dummy lines built for quick travel. Hotels were built, and many lots sold to confiding strangers. Vast sums of money changed hands and vaster sums still were represented by paper. Now the boom is dead laid in the "cold, cold grave many of the big hotels and great business blocks are cjosed and ' the TAR WHOLE NO. 7,689 great majority of lots are "still for sale" and are as bare as the top of Bill Nye's head. There is nothing now of inter est at San Diego, and the party went to Colorado Beach, across the bay. Four days were spent at the Hotel del Coro- nade, which covers seven acres and is claimed to be the largest hotel in the world. The Pacific ocean lies at its steps and from its piazzas a grand view is obtained, the Coronado Islands, 15 miles off shore, being' plainly seen. They paid a visit to Sweet Water Dam, on the Mexican border, 15 miles below San Diego said to be -226 feet high and two miles long and acknowledged to be away ahead of any saw mill dam in the "Old North State." THE OSTRICH FARM was visited and two little chicks (about the size of turkeys) were seen to pick their way out of the shell and start on their career in life. The journey was retraced to San Francisco and from there North over the great "Shasta" mountain, and by the renowned Shasta Soda Springs, through the grandest mountain scenery found on the trip, to PORTLAND, OREGON. Three days were spent there, where they rode on a cable street car line that made an ascent of 300 feet in one square. The city was found to be in a thriving and prosperous condition and growing steadily. St. John's, a suburban town of 1,500 nhabitants, is the" only town in the world entirely without water. The resi dents depend on the passing trains for water for cooking and drinking purposes, but for baths they must go away from home or take them on the Italian plan once a year. The great salmon fish eries of the Columbia river, at Cascade Locks, and the canning houses six miles below, were visited and proved objects of much interest. From Portland the party strayed to TACOMA, on Piget Sound, in the new State of Washington. The city lies at the foot "of the mountain of the same name and rises abruptly and grandly from the har bor; each succeeding street being a ter race above the last. The harbor is deep and magnificent; dotted with picturesque islands, on which the fig trees are always green. Tacoma is, and has been grow ing rapidly, steadily and solidly. Real estate is high. One man who invested $1,700 six years ago is now offered $30,000. The city has cable and electric cars and lines oi steam motors. Its growth and prosperity is based upon the great natural resources of the country back of it; vast beds of iron ore and of coal, great bodies of timber, and a fine agricultural country. The next point visited was SEATTLE, a live and growing city that, like Taco ma, is backed by a substantial country. Two-thirds ot the business portion ot the city is built on piles over the sound; and it is possible to row around in boats under the great brick blocks; and under the streets, which are like great contin uous bridges. Electric and cable car lines furnish quick transit. Lake Wash ington and a chain of lakes lie back of the city and from the hotel piazza the view in front of town shows the salt water of the sound, beyond which rise the snow-capped mountains, while on the opposite side is the fresh water of lakes, also backed by snow-covered peaks. Seattle is largely settled with Southerners, and many fortunes have been made. Leaving Seattle by the Northern Pacific railroad the party turned TOWARD HOME, passing through Spokane Falls, and through the great Stampede tunnel two miles and a half in length and lighted by electricity. They visited Yellowstone National Park saw the "devil's kitch- en underneath tne ground saw tne wonderful springs where you can sit and catch trout in one and turn to the next and drop the fish in to cook. From the Park they went to ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, the twin cities on the Mississippi. Saw the monster flouring mills, one of which is owned in part by Mr. Chas. E. French, formerly of Wilmington. The very handsome and substantial residences of St. Paul were a matter of great interest and surprise. From St. Paul they went to. CHICAGO, h a great city by the lake, and the great est and most progressive of America's tl9th century cities. They visited the great hotels, the board of trade, and the Exposition grounds at Jackson Park. From Chicago to Niagara Falls, where they took the regulation rounds under the falls over the bridge to Canada on Goat Island, and down to the whirlpool. Then they went tp Tor onto, and down the St. Lawrence through the "Thousand Isles" to Mon treal; "shooting the rapids" in the St. Lawrence. At MONTREAL they visited the noted church esand ca thedrals, and viewed scenes entirely un American. Frum there they came, to New York for a few days, then to Phila delphia, Atlantic City and HOJIE, where they were glad to arrive after so so long a journey. bates of advertising.

Very little rain fell in the cotton belt yesterday, Charleston and Galveston be ing the only districts reporting and the fall was light in both districts. The most remarkable feature of the morning's chart was the large area of almost nominal pressure, extending over nearly all the Central and Southern country. This allowed the encroach ment of warm air from the South and the isothermal line of 80 reached as far North as St. Louis. A Fighting Prisoner. Joe Small, a colored man from Bruns wick county, was arrested in this city yesterday on a charge of stealing lumber from the Navassa Guano yards. He was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Gainey, of Brunswick county and police officer Smith, of this city, in the store of Messrs. Glameyer & Kuck, on Water street. When police officer Smith came up Small was fighting desperately with Deputy Gainey and two other men, but he was soon taken to the guard house.
