XLIX.-NO. 29. WILMINGTON, N. SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1891. WHOLE NO. 7,740 Robert Bonner, of the New York Ledger, has a weakness for x fast horses, although he never races them for money. When a horse comes to the front that beats all the other horses Mr. Bonner buys it, if it can be bought, regardless of price. He owns about forty now, some of them the fastest horses in the world. Two years ago he paid Senator Stanford of California $41,000 for Sunol, when she was three years old. At this rate if he didn't have lots of money it would soon air be gone. A lot of politicians have organized a company, and are said to have given out a contract for the building of a tin-plate factory at Elwood, Indiana. This makes about forty five tin-plate factories that the poli ticians and the tin organs have built (on paper)" within the past six months. If this Elwood announcement had been deferred a week or so it wouldn't have helped McKinley a bit. LOCAL DOTS. Items of Interest Gathered Here and There snd Briefly Noted. GALA WEEK. Let Even old Jerusalem is on a sort of a boom. The population has about doiibled in the past ten years. The Liberal Party of Hungary is preparing to celebrate the 90th birth day of Louis Kossuth in grand style. If the old man is going through the rough-and-tumble as he is reported to be the best way they could cele brate his birthday would be to chip in enough to make his last days com fortable. A contemporary remarks that if Gov Campbell be defeated, no one can iaKe nib uciwi ucati. McKinley will. A physician in India announces that he has discovered the microbe of leprosy. They have been discover ing any amount of microbes, but - what is wanted is to discover some thing that can get away with the microbes. Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, who has been taking in the lights and shadows of Boston, expresses the opinion that it is the wickedest city in the Union. We never did have any confidence in beans as a rirtue inspiring diet. At last the tin-plate liars have de cided to build a tin-plate factory on the Pacific coast. This is to wo-k up the tin from the Temescal mine. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Hajime Latest styles. ' C. W. Yates Fine etchings. Geo. A. Peck Hot-bed sash. Sam'l Bear. Sr. Mules for sale. J. A.

SOUND OYSTERS. TAXES IN NEW HANOVER. It be Inaugurated and Pushed to Success If Not Why NotP "It is the very thing for Wilmington," said a large merchant to a Star report er yesterday. "Why, you see, sir," said be, "we have nothing especially attractive to draw our country friends here in winter, and it is the very time we want to sell tbem goods for the holidays; say the last week in November or the first week in December, it would be just at the time they would want to make their orders for the holiday goods and it would pay tbe business men of the city in good big round dollars and cents. The reporter then conversed with other merchants, and all regarded the proposition most favorably. The pre paration need not be very extensive, nor the expense extravagant. Of course there should be pyrotechnics scattered along through the week. Every important industry should be repre sented by a flat in the procession show ing its peculiar business. While this display might be made very creditable it would serve the purpose of adver tising the goods and preparations in the most admirable and remunerative way. But the first thing to do would be to prevail on all the railroads leading into the city to bring visitors for one cent a mile. The railroads have always met citizeps more than half way in intelli gent, well-directed liberality in such matters and no obstruction is expected on that score and from that source. " Baltimore has its Orioles with bound ing success. Charleston its gala weeks, and Norfolk its big merchants excur sions. Why can't Wilmington gather the great benefits of a festive occasion of similar purport? And, then, there can be no gala week without music, and Wilmington is blessed with several first rate bands, At stated intervals during the day and evening, these bands should render selections from some central thorough fare, say lower Market street. Now, with the fluttering of bunting from public buildings, conspicuous stores and promi nent private residences, you have all th requisite paraphernalia that would round out to perfection the attractions for a cala week. And if the weather is fine what's the matter with a free excursion down the river and out to sea, or over the Seacoast railroad to Ocean View? Doubtless, the boat and railroad com panies would come down handsomely to help along the show. Now listen real attentively and in wardly digest. The bTAR has been numerously requested to call a meeting of the citizens, especially the business men, at City Hall, Tuesday evening, Oct. 27th, for the purpose ct discussing this matter and taking such action as its importance demands. Wilmington cannot afford to be left. SUNDAY SERVIES. Why the Supply Is Short and Not Equal to the Demand. Oyster gatherers principally colored women on the Sounds near Wilming ton, who make a livelihood during the winter months by gathering and mar keting oysters, are very much disturbed. During the past week they say they have been notified by a man claiming to be an officer that they must pay for the privilege of gathering and selling oysters. Also, that they must have their boats marked so as to show that the fee for license has been paid. And further, thaj additional license must be paid for each person besides the owner taken into the boat. The effect of the notification to the oyster-gatherers has been to cause many of them to abandon the business, and in conse quence the supply of Sound oysters in the Wilmington market has been con siderably decreased. The law in relation to the taking of oysters passed, by the last General As sembly,, provides (section 3) that any resident of the State desiring to use any boat in the catching or taking of oysters from the public grounds of the State, shall first obtain license for said boat from the clerk of the Superior Court of the county and such license shall have effect for the period of twelve months next suc ceeding the first day of October, and no license will be granted for less than twelve months. The license fee for a boat twenty feet or less is $1.50, over twenty leet and not more than twenty five, $2.00. An individual license is re quired for any servant or employe of the owner of the boat. Onslow is the only county exempted from the provisions ot the law. Figures Taken From the Abstract for the Tear 1891.

Pennington has reason to be proud of his splendid steamer Croatan, of the Clyde Line, from New York, that reached her dock yesterday at 12 m. She takes the place of the Fanita, of the same line, which is laid up for repairs. The Croatan was built at Paisley, Scotland, in 1881, and is constructed entirely of steel from boiler to masts and her decks are of the same metal, as are her cabins. She has twin screws, with two sets of engines and separate apparatus, of 800 horse-power, and has a steam pressure of eighty pounds to the square inch, and carries 827 tons. She is a freight boat, but has elegant accommodations for fifteen cabin pas sengers, and also for four in the steer- age. ine quarters ior- tne crew, ui whom there are nineteen, are all abaft the engines and the cabins are for ward, a very nice arrangement. She has six fine state-rooms and six teen berths. Her hurricane deck, covered with awning, is a delightful resort. Capt. Pennington says the Clydes have re cently purchased her from Mexican owners, put her in shape at a heavy out lay and this is het first trip under the new ownership. During her trip to this port she encountered a very ugly gale, but plowed right through it with scarce ly a jar. Indeed, marks of salt water can now be seen near the top of her smokestack, but the storm never moved or phased her. The first mate is Chas. Hale, the second Thos. Brown; the chief engineer J. Nishwitz, and his assistant, Chas. Linguist. The Croatan is decidedly one of the largest and prettiest boats that come to this port, and Wilmington may congratulate herself on the prospective tegular trips of this splendid visitor. Mrs. General Tom Thumb and the Lilli putians. " The New York World says of this wonderful Company : The inimitable little artists presented "The Rivals" with new scenery and sev eral novel innovations, and, as usual, they completely won the esteem of the auditors. There is no troupe of singing actors big or little actors that surpass these diminutive players in skill, versa tility and savoir faire. They need ask no concessions on the score of stature, but taking that into consideration they are both wonderful and unique. Their hold on the affections of New York play-goers is remarkable. ( They will appear at the Opera House on Fridav and Saturday next, Oct. 30th and 31st, also at a grand family and school matinee at 3 o'clock. Besides the Lilliputian contingent there is a coterie of European and American re fined specialty entertainers and the Imperial Japanese. The News and Courier, Charleston, S. C, Feb. 14th, 1891, says of the matinee : There never was such a Friday mati nee as that which was to be seen at the Grand Opera House yesterday after noon. The crowd, composed mostly of ladies and children, was so great and the importunities of those who could not attend, principally the school chil dren, were so pressing that Manager O'Neill, at some considerable trouble and expense, engaged Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb and her company to prolong their engagement and remain in Charles ton over to-day. Clothing Needed. Mrs. A. H. Holmes-, member for this district of the Board of Lady Managers of the Soldier's Home, attended a re cent meeting of the Board at Goldsboro.

The announcement made in the Star's Press dispatches this morning that Capt. W. H. Bixby, U. S. engineer in charge of government work on rivers and harbors in this district, had been ordered to another post of duty, will be heard with profound regret by many of our people. Setting aside the great work he has engineered and accomplish ed in deepening the water in the river and on the bar until this is now considered one of the most accessible ports on the coast, as a citizen he has closely identi fied himself with the welfare of the community and has given unstintedly of his time and means for many benefi cent purposes. As president of the Wilmington Library Association he has been most persistent and indefatigable in his efforts to bring it to and maintain it upon a high plane of success, and his commendable efforts m this direction will be gratefully remembered and ap preciated. Capt. Bixby, it is announced, will be succeeded by Mai. Wm. S. Stanton, now on duty at Boston, Mass. Weather Forecasts.
