Government employes in Wash ington should buy a copy of Bogy's book, "InjOffice," so they may learn what they must not say if they ex pect to stay in office. The Savannah Press, which suc ceeds the Times, is one of the brightest evening papers . in the country. "Success" is blazoned on its shield in forty-line pica. Florida has raised this year the largest crop of oranges on record for her. She will ship 4,000,000 boxes to New York. If McKinley had known this during his campaign he would have claimed it as another of the grand results of his tariff. Minneapolis got away with the other towns which wanted the Re publican National Convention. Min nie is a hustler. She grinds more flour than anv other town in America, and therefore she can- break bread with the Republican braves and salt 'em, too. We don't know much about the Brazilian statesman, Peixotto, who succeeds Fonseca, but as a change from .Fonseca Brazil ought to be sat isfied with almost any one. Fonseca can now seek.a new field of opera tions in which he may be more suc cessful than in playing dicta tor. 1 he Republicans must have a pretty tight grip on the 2d Tennessee Congressional district, where they have just elected their candidate by a majority of 7,500 or 8,000. L. C. Houk, deceased, father of the candi date-elect, who succeeds him, used to carry it by 10,000 or upwards. While a Kentucky minister was performing the marriage ceremony the other night, the decorations caught fire. The minister jumped through the window and the atten dants stampeded, but the bridal couple held their ground. They came there for business and didn't propose to be diverted from it by such little incidents as a prospective conflagration. "President Polk, of the Alliance, says North Carolina will repudiate Mr. Cleveland." If Cleveland and Harrison be the opposing candidates what will President Polk do ? Per haps he will vote for a Third Party candidate; and if a few thousand Democrats do likewise Harrison will carry the State. It will then be in order for North Carolina to "re pudiate" President Polk. Texas is a great State. Whenever she does anything or discovers any thing it is always something worth doing or worth discovering. The last discovery is a quicksilver spnng from which the mercury flows irom a fissure they say this is no fish story in the rocks into a stream near by. How long it has been do ing this is not stated, but that stream stands a chance of being severely investigated. ' ' . After completing the Government building, in Pittsburg, Pa., upon which they have been at work for nearly twenty years, it was discover ed that the builders forgot to make provision for the introduction of electric light wires. This might not ,have been altogether an oversight. The Republicans have had charge of the public buildings so long jthat the less light there is thrown into them the better they like it. VOL.

The Wilmington Fox Club propose giving the " edge to the zest of sport by a mastadonic fox hunt Thanksgiving day. The master spirits and "fellows of infinite jest," who will shape, organize and direct the chase in the capacity of "masters of the hounds" are Capts. A. A. Wiggins, Phil. Thomas and E. Burruss, and this means death and de thronement of Reynard and, paradoxi cally, the decapitation of his "brush." The "meet" will be at "The Ken nel and it is proposed to in stitute a chase that will r& sound down the corridors of time, until the crash of matter and wreck of worlds, as the most mammoth on re cord. Every Caucasian who can sit on horse without being tied on. is invited. Fifty of the est dogs that ever bayed the moon, or sucked an egg, will make the welkin ring. ' ., - Yesterday's "Weatner.

The Wilmington Fox Club cordially invite all lovers of fine sport to join them in their hunt to-morrow. It is stated that the Richmond & Danville R. R. will only sell one-cent a mile tickets for W. W. W. within this State. The cotton region bulletin shows no rain in the cotton region yes terday. Low temperature prevailed everywhere. , Prof. Walter, the peripatetic human mocking bird, of "life raft" fame, is largely on hand to get "in the swim," during Welcome Week. Instead of being read 100 "red" quail in recounting Mr. Berry Gleaves' prowess afield yesterday, it should be read without the "red." Information comes to the Star that many people who have never visited this city will come to see the grand Welcome Week sights. It has been suggested that now is a capital time to remove the debris on Mulberry street, near the Y. M. C. A. building, before the joyful week. It is understood that Col. French, postmaster, is willing for the decoration committee to' dress up the Government building in gala fixings. The British steamship Austerlitz cleared yesterday for Bremen, with 4,359 bales cotton, valued at $163,400. Vessel and cargo by Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son. In the City Court yesterday John Beatty, a tramp from Trampville, was charged by officer C. E. Collins with drunkenness, and was held as a sort of "white elephant." Decorations for the Bazaar will begin at the Y. M. C. A. building to night at 8 o'clock, when a large com mittee having the matter in charge will meet to" complete the arrangements. Live turkeys sold yesterday at 75 cents to $1.00 apiece, wholesale, and the stock was taken up readily at these figures by retailers. Very little dressed poulty has yet arrived, but it meets with ready sale. The Fayetteville Observer of this week, besides a full report of the proceedings in the trial of D. A.. Mc Dougald, lor murder, will print pictures of Hon. J. D. Mclver, Judge presiding, and the prisoner. The German barque Constance cleared yesterday for Garston Dock, Eng., with 5,750 barrels rosin and 424 casks spirits turpentine, valued at $15, 475.89. Vessel and cargo by Messrs. Paterson, Downing & Co. In answer to inquiries, the in formation is hereby given that the A. C. L. will sell one cent a mile tickets for Welcome Week from all points south of Weldon and north of Charles ton and Columbia, S. C. inclusive. It has been suggested that a very clever ana graceiui tnmg lor toe kind ladies of Wilmington to do would be the presentation of a flag to the Association of Commercial Travellers, with a suitable motto, or emblem upon it for the trades parade. Under the caption of "Wel come Week Amusements," yesterday, the second prize in the juvenile bicycle race shoald have been a bicycle bell, in stead of a bicycle, and the second prize in the three-mile bicycle race should have been a watch charm, instead of chain. " The supreme effort of the R. & D., which resulted in a connec tion with the A. C. L. at Goldsboro Sunday afternoon, was too much for it. It has not yet recovered from the shock and is supposed to be laid up for repairs, as it resumed the old non-connection schedule yesterday. A woman, color unknown, made night hideous with unearthly screams Tuesday morning at 2 o'clock in a gentleman's garden on South Front street. The gentleman called to her, when she ran off, leaving a fine hat, a linen handkerchief and a nickel. Who was it? The Carolina Central railroad, m order to let everybody on the line have a chance to see the grand trades parade during the Chairete-pantes, will run a train out of Wilmington at 11 o'clock that night, so visitors can spend that day in Wilmington, see the parade and go home the same night.

Both Sides Confident of the Result. The Mother of the Murdered Man Testifies in Behalf of the Prisoner. - f Special Star Correspondence TUESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. '. Fayetteville, N. C, Nov. 24 The anxious court house Habitues can now see the "beginning of the end" in the McDougald trial, though it is a long lane and the home stretch is not yet reached. But the defence has been in troducing testimony since noon yester day, and the close of to-day will prob- aoiy complete tnat evidence. Both sides are confident of the result (or so express themselves), but the" average juryman is an "onsartain critter," and until the foreman pronounces the fateful words it is necessarily all conjecture.
