Senator- Plumb, of Kansas, does

When commenting upon thetragic
bomb-throwing incident which oc
curred in Russell Sage's office in
New York, we remarked that we
r
-would not be surprised to hear of
several imitations in a short while.
There have already been three or
four in this country, where the bomb,
however, has not been called into
play. A few days ago a crank walk
ed -into a Hartford, - Conn., bank
with a big satchel and demanded
$2,500,000 in large bills to put into
it. Some of the employes diverted
his attention by pretending to get
the money, while , others slipped
around, pounced upon him, tied him
up and sent him to the calaboose.
A similar case to that in New York
has just occurred in Berlin, where a
man entered a bank, and presented
the banker with a letter demanding
10,000 marks, with a threat to blow
him up if it wasn't at once paid.
The banker yelled for help, which
so unnerved the fellow, who ran,
but was pursued and arrested.
Will-making has become such an
uncertain business in New York that
two half sisters of Mrs. A. T. Stewart
who inherited $5,00Q,000 from her,
besides an annuity of $10,000 each,
having six nephews and nieces to
whom to leave the $5,000,000,
to avoid the mishaps of wills have
sold the $5,000,000 worth of prop
erty to the aforesaid tT&phews and
nieces for the sum of $1, in hand
paid, and have made clear titles to
the same," the old ladies retaining
only the $10,000 on which they think
they can scuffle along. Now if some
other claimant don't pop up and have
them pronounced insane this little
trade may stand and deprive the will
breaking lawyers of a job.

MAILING CHRISTMAS GOODS.
Instructions to Senders Circular
from
the Post Office People.
The postoffice employes are beginning
to feel the movement ot the holiday
business. It is a little early yet for the
rush of gifts, but the mails for the last
three weeks have been loaded with
Christmas correspondence and orders.
The postoffice people and those who
use the mails always have a good deal
of trouble during the holiday season
about letters and packages reaching
their destination, and a good deal of
this trouble is owing to a lack of proper
directions and making up of the pack
ages. The postoffice instructions on
this line are very plain. The Depart
ment has sent out the lollowine cir
cular. .
"The season is approaching when the
mails will be filled with holiday presents,
and a great many are unnecessarily lost,
delayed or damaged each year because
of the indifferent manner in which they
are prepared for mailing.
"Newspapers or other thin paper
should never be used for wrapping, and
packages as ordinarily wrapped where
purchased are not sufficiently secure for
forwarding in the mails.
"Use strong papers, make a solid
package that will not crush easily ; tie
well with good twine ; address legibly
and correctly with ink on the lower right
hand corner, arid very few packages will
fail to reach destination in good condi
tion. .
"It is always advisable to place the
name arid addreis of the sender on the
upper left hand corner of all packages,
etc.. sent in the mails, so they may be
returned in case the addresses cannot be
found. Postal statistics show that more
delays result from incorrect addresses
than from errors in distribution by pos
tal employes.
"In case of loss or delay, report the
same to your postmaster with all the in
formation that can be given.
TYROLESE CONCERT.
The Closing
Entertainment A
Happy
Success.
A repitition of the Tyrolese Concert
and ladies' entertainment was given yes
terday afternoon, and again attracted a
large number of visitors. The pro
gramme as rendered was as follows :
Piano Solo by Miss Eliza Adrian
charmingly rendered and loudly ap
plauded.
Solo, by Miss Annie Stolter"Ecstacy;
a song ot rare beauty, which elicited
much comment.
"Symphony," by the Tyrolese Con
cert Company; one of the grandest fea
tures of the concert.
"Home, Sweet Home," by. Misses
Annie Stolter, Elese Bissinger, Maggie
Peschau and Kate Stolter, composing
the Tvrolese female quartette. It was
beautifully rendered.
After the concert the audience
paired to the different dining parlors
where refreshments in great variety were
served at reduced rates, and until noth
ing was left.
This ended the series of Tyrolese Con
certs given by the ladies of St. Paul's
Evancelical Lutheran Church. A
large sum of money was realized and
at each entertainment all who were
present seemed well pleased and ex
pressed a desire that another enter
a
tainment should be given soon.
OPERA HOUSE.
"The Fay Tram" on the Boards for Tues
day Night. -
The beautiful comedy drama "The
Pay Train," will be produced at the
Opera House on Tuesday, Dec. 22d, and
a rare treat is in store for theatre goers.
The company is a most excellent one,
headed by the charming soubrette Miss
Florence Bindley, who is supported by
a cast of rare excellence. The scenic
effects are marvelous and must be seen
to be appreciated; several of the most
prominent ones are, the interior of a
Coal Mine in full operation; the Realis
tic Boiler Explosion and Wreck of the
Incline Plane Truck, which -dashes to
the stage from the dome filling the stage
with smoke and debris as natural as the
real thing itself; the most phenomenal
of all is the Railroad Effect; a full train
of cars dashes across the stage at full
speed, and is uncoupled in full view of
the audience; the Pay Car is immedi
ately lighted up, showing the action in
the car; the company carries a full Elec
tric Dynamo for this purpose. This
drama is conceded by press and public
to be the most realistic of all mechani
cal dramas.
Rational Bank Notes.
Mr. Alden,- the examiner, will not
complete his labors in.the First National
Bank until some time next week.
A Receiver has, no doubt, been ap
pointed, and may be daily expected.
This is the construction the Star
places updn the Associated Press tele
gram printed yesterday : The condition
of the bank is such that the interests of
creditors reauire that a Receiver take
charge at the earliest possible moment,
The Star does not share in the opin
ion now quite general, that creditors
will suffer any material loss. In fac.
from general information, it seems fair
to conclude that, with prudent manage
ment; they cannot lose more than 25 per
cent., and they have a fair chance of re
ceiving the full amount of their claims.

RAILROAD NOTES.
- A dispatch from Managua, Nicar-
"agua, says that Messrs. Thornton &
Strong, of Chicago, have contracted
with the Government to build a railroad
from Managua to Metagalpa, via the
town of Rio Grande, a distance of about
200 miles. The - Government cedes
2.000,000 acres of land with the privi
lege of using the C-overnment railroad
tracks from Carinto to Momotomboa.
Other valuable concessions are included.
The line will run through a rich coffee
region.
The Departmemt of Transportation
of the World's Fair is offered a valuable
relic of the early days of railroading in
this country and will doubtless secure it
for an exhibit. The old locomotive
"Sampson," built in England in "the
thirties" by the celebrated Timothy
Hackworth and brought td this country
in 1838, is still in existence and in work
ing order. Accompanying it is a quaint
old passenger car built in imitation of a
stage coach, both standing on some of
the old scolloped or fish belly rails. The
engineer who first ran the locomotive is
still alive, and if still living at the time
of the World's Fair, may accompany the
venerable engine.
President Ashley, of the Wabash
Railroad, has the following to say in his
annual report : That railways must be
permitted to earn a fair rate of interest
on the capital invested, or construction
of new lines must cease. This result,
while beneficial to railway property in
the older and densely populated States,
would be fatal to the n w States and
Territories and prejudicial to the inter
ests of the South, where the railway de
velopment is compaiatively in the early
stages of progress. In States where rail
ways are crippled by low rates, whether
as the result of competition or of hostile
legislation, the prosperity ot such btate
must be checked in the ratio ot adverse
conditions imposed upon the agencies of
transportation. It the railways are forced
to economize by unprofitable rates the
burden of the economy must be borne
by the employes, either in the reduction
of wages or in the reduction of the num
ber employed. Inadequate pronts, re
sulting in forced economies on the part
of railway companies, will certainly pre
vent the adoption of improvements
which should be constantly added to the
safety and comfort of passengers and for
the expeditious movement of freight.
COTTON FACTS AND FIGURES.
Futures closed quiet in New York
yesterday at an advance of a few points
on opening figures. December opened
at 7.50 and closed at 7.54 ; January 7.01,
closed at 7.63 ; February 7.78, closed at
7.80 ; March 7.93. closed at 7.96.
Cotton receipts at Wilmington for
the week ended yesterday are 7,507 bales,
against 4,956 for corresponding week
last year. Receipts for the crop year to
Dec. 18th, 125,588, against 139,081 bales.
to same date last season.
Charleston News and Courier :
While the receipts of cotton at this port
continue gratifyingly large, prices con
tinue to be very low, and there is but
little prospect of their increasing again
in the very near future. The principal
cause for the depression in the market
is unquestionably the heavy receipts not
only at this but, at all the ports, and
while the receipts continue large the
farmers can hope for but little improve
ment in the market it seems. The price
for middling has decreased from 7K last
week to 7J. and it is feared by many
that the price will not go up very soon.
Many farmers and other sellers are hold
ing their cotton rather than dispose of
it at the present figure offered them.
How long this condition off affairs can
last is a matter of the purest conjecture,
and no factor can be found who will pre
tend to say that prices have now reach
ed bottom figures, or who will attempt
to predict when they will again begin to
mount upward.
RICE CROP ESTIMATES.
Prom the Circular of Dan TalmaRe'a
Sons Prices Now About One Cent
Eelow The foreign Article.
Dan Talmage's Sons, of New York, in
a circular dated December 10, give a
statement of the rice crop and requir-
ments of the United States, showing the
annual cousumption in barrels and bags
to be 800,000, as follows:
North Carolina 25.000
South Carolina 90.000
Georgia 40.000
Louisiana sou.uuu
505.000
Shortage 295,000
800,000
The circular goes on to say tkat the
history of the rice crop is nearl t the
same every year. It is an "old, old
story, and those of the trade who have
a good memory, large head and long
purse, profit' thereby. As receipts be
come free and enlarge, stocks gradually
accumulate and prices steadily fall
away.
It matters not whether the crop is
abundant or scant, planters with matur
ing liabilities must sell. Low values
are thus brought about and prevail un
til January. The advance once begun
rarely ceases until the opening of the
subsequent crop. December prices of
this year are to 1 cent below the for
eign' article.

The holiday spirit pervades the

The holiday spirit of 1891 takes up
the gauntlet and proposes to hold

it ought to be. Centers have heen
searched for all that is new. The
results are here, the biggest, freshest,
brighest stock of things for utility"
and beanty. We feel gratified in
realizing that this intelligent, keen
public understands us and our work.
