An exchange informs us that it is barbaric to boil a beet, which ought to be baked.

The Syracuse Coroner's jury found that Donovan, the slugger, who was killed by Dunfee, the slugger, in a glove contest, died from the "dis eased condition of his lungs," but it was, Dunfee's tap that knocked the wind out of him afl the same. Gum-chewer's lockjaw is the lat est jaw information reported. Gener ally speaking the spread of human ailments is not a subject for congrat ulation, but if the gum-chewer's lockjaw become somewhat prevalent it might not prove an unmixed evil. A woman hater, who always kept four or five blocks away from a wo man if he could, unexpectedly got close to his sister-in-law, in Bedding ton, Penn., the other day, and dropped dead as a door nail when she invited him to drive a nail in the fence. In Honolulu they call Commission er Blount Minister Reticent, and Stevens Minister Resident. Charles Nordboff, the New York JHerald cor respondent, says Mr. Blount can say less and get other people to say more than any other man he ever saw. It is said that Gen. Porter" forgot to invite President Cleveland to the ball to be given in New York in honor of the foreign sailor men who have brought the big ships over to take part in the Columbian naval par ade. Perhaps he thought Gro ver was having fun enough bouncing Republicans. The Arabs who were brought over from Cairo to figure in the Egyptian part of the big show at Chicago, are giving their manager a great deal of trouble. They were all right until they cultivated an acquaintance with Chicago beer and benzine, and ever since then they think their business in life is to paint the town red. A company is being formed to put aline of fine steamers on the lakes between Buffalo and Duluth, a distance of 1000 miles, which they propose to run in 50 hours. The idea is to open up a new line of trans-continental travel, for people who would prefer to. travel part of the way by water and thus break the monotony of a long trip. - VOL. LIT. NO. 26 Mexico doesn't want any railroad commission nor Inter-State , Com merce law. She gets the railroad business down fine and. by a law which has just gone into effect, re quires all railroads in that country to submit their rates for passengers and freight and have them approved, the Government having the right, under this law, to fix the rates. There are to be no rebates, no pooling, no scalping of tickets nor anything of that sort. People who don't like the way rail roads are run in this country might try Mexico. A Pittsburg physician who is con vinced that tobacco smoke is fatal to many disease-germs, thinks it would not be a bad idea if people look to. smoking m. case cholera makes its appearance. We once heard a gen tleman who had a good deal ot expe perience in the treatment of diph theria say that he never knew ot a person who chewed tobacco being attacked by that disease. ' . '. There is nothing novel in novel writing to Jules Verne, who is about to publish his 74th. It is said that Jules' real name is not Verne, but Olchewitz." There is something novel and also awful in that. But he. wisely dropped that horrid combi nation of letters and spared the public. The new Sponsel one-pound rapid firing gun has a range of three miles, with effective penetration at 2,500 yards. Late tests show that it wilt shoot 25 shots per minute. There isn't any fun in tackling things like that. NSW. ADVERTISEMENTS. C-E. 'Gordon Bargain days. Wit. Gas Light Co. Annual meet'g. Cronly & Morris Bank stock at auction. HEW BTSnTESS LOCALS. D.

The Edgar Allan Poe Stories.

But these master-pieces seem almost unknown to the present generation, and to provide a treat for readers of to-day, and to enable many older persons to re new a treasured acquaintance, the Star is now publishing these brilliant short stories in instalments', in both the Daily and Weekly editions, and would advise its readers to lay aside all the issues until the series is completed, A small extra edition of the Daily will.be printed each day. .

The Star is requested to make the following correction of the statement of the case of W. E. Springr & Co. vs. Holmes & Watters, which appeared Wednesday ; The suit was not on a bond for rent, but was on a bond given by Holmes & Watters to W. E. Springer & Co., conditioned that the lessees, Messrs. E. L. & J. H. Hinton, would not during their tenancy of the Purcell House "abandon the lease and quit the said premises." The suit was for five hundred dollars damages for breach of that condition. The defence was that there had been no abandonment or damages suffered. J ostioe Bunting's Court. Squire Bunting had several parties before him yesterday all colored--, charged with larceny, but all were dis missed and the prosecutors were re quired to pay the costs. Sam Brown was found guilty of assault and battery, but jndgemnt' was sus pended on payment of costs. John Jones, arrested on a peace war rant, gave bond to keep the peace for three months. . ' ' THE COTTON ACREAGE. THE INCREASE NOT TOO GREAT FOR THE EXPECTED DEMAND. The Status of the Crop as Indicated by ' - Beports Received from the Cotton Be- - eIods by Savannah Merchants The Crop Cxpected to ba a Medium Be tween Those of '91 and '92 Facts Which are Liable to Increase the De mand. The impression is very general, and correctly so the Star thinks, that the cotton production will be decidedly overdone this year, and its columns have frequently given warning to planters that a heavy crop would result in ruinously low prices; but the follow ing from the Savannah News is on a some what different line, and whether the readers of the Star agree with the views expressed or not they will read the article with interest : The reports from the cotton region received by cotton men here contain some very interesting information, which, while it cannot be definite at this early date, gives rather a general idea of the status of the crop and furnishes a basis on which to figure out a prospect, with some degree, at least, of exactness. The general impression which is being conveyed on all hands that there is a largely increased acreage is probably the outcome of an attempt to bear the mar ket, but there are . counter-balancing circumstances which may in the end de feat the efforts of the bears. According to the report of the State Agricultural Department there is an in crease of about 10 per cent, in Georgia's acreage, and there is likely to be a very little more planted. Georgia may well be taken as an average for the Southern States, with the possible exception ot Texas, as her farmers are, as a rule, con servative, and consult their interests be fore acting hastily. In Texas it is said that the crop is liableio be considerably larger than was the crop of last year in that State, so, all arouud, it is safe to count on an increase of about 12 per cent, throughout the entire cotton growing section. ' ABOUT SEA ISLAND COTTON. The reports in regard to the acreage vary. Some sections report an increase, some a decrease, while some say the crop is about the same. A general sum mary of the reports indicates that there has been little if any increase in the long staple product of South Carolina, an in crease of 8 to 10 per cent, in Georgia and an increase ot about 5 per tent, in Florida. THE UPLAND PLANT. The upland cotton is in many places above the ground, but is not far enough advanced to base any crop prospects upon it. One set-back, of which part of the crop is in danger, arises from the fact that the price of cotton seed was so high this year that almost all the farm ers sold all of (heir seed, buying fer tilizers and new seed for sowing this spring. The consequence is that if a cold snap should injure part of the crop, or if the stands should not turn out good, the farmers would, in manv instances, be minus the seed with Which to replace them. The fact of a somewhat increased acreage, and further, that the recent rains in Texas and the adjacent cotton territory have made it probable that the Texas crop will pan out, have probably been responsible, say the cotton -men, for the recent decline in the price, which, as is well known, has been -nearly a cent per pound during the last week or ten days. S . : THE CROP NOT TOO LARGE. It will be readily seen, however, that the increase is not enough to seriously affect the market during the. coming season. It is pretty well known among cotton men and generally admitted that while the crop this year will be larger than that of 1802, it will not run ' up as high as did that of 1891. Now last year the supply fell short, and the year before the market was overstocked. So it is. probable after all that this year will bring forth a mean between the crops of the last two seasons, and as the demand from various causes is liable to be Increased, a fair and prosperous sea son all around is anticipated. Among other things that are liable to increase the demand this year, it may be noted that the uses to which the staple is being put are increasing every year, as well as the fact that all substitues for cotton are playing out. Then, too, it may be noted that the cotton at Liver pool has almost all been bought up, and there is very little there to be disposed of, which, it will be remembered, was not the case at the opening of the sea son of 1892. All these facts, and others which might be enumerated, go to indi cate that a larger crop will be needed to supply the demand. - . - Everybody is. expecting an early crop this year, and the exporters are leaving early that they may . return when the crop first begins to be marketed. Fire Yesterday Morning. A small frame dwelling in Murphy's alley, between Bladen and Harnett streets, was destroyed by fire about four o'clock yesterday morning. The house was owned and occupied by Lucy Tay lor, colored. The flames spread so rap idly that very little of the furniture could be saved. The house was insured for $150 and the furniture for $50, with Mr. J. H. Boatwright's agency. COTTON FACT8 AND FIGURES. , -r- Receipts of cotton here yesterday 17 bales; same day last year 72 bales.

Its slow pas sage across the 'country was noted by the Weather Bureau' in the weather synopsis prepared daily af our local office. Day : before yesterday Mr. Chaffee, observer here, ordered the southwest storm signals for stations in this section, which action was justified by a velocity of 36 miles per hour from the southwest. Yesterday forenoon the storm centre had advanced eastward to Missouri, developing cyclonic character istics, and causing severe wind storms along the lakes, the wind being re ported as blowing 52 miles per hour at Detroit, Mich., yesterday forenoon. The lines of barometric pressure then varied from ; 80 miles along the coast to 29.12 inches at the storm's centre, forming as it were a veritable funnel towards which there was a gen eral and very rapid atmospheric move ment. Mr. Chaffee ordered the storm signals continued, which continuation was fully justified by-a velocity of 88 miles per hour from the southwest here, while at Southport "it attained a velocity of 48 miles per hour, and was generally high along the coast.. The wind was still blowing quite high at a late hour last night, but the Weather Bureau then promised it would veer to westerly and moderate this morning, with clearing, cooler weather. AT WRIGHTS VILLE. The wind blew with fearful velocity at Wrightsville, and about noon the annex to the Island Beach hotel on the Ham mocks succumbed .to' the fury of the storm, and was blown to the ground. The annex was a - two story structure about 300 feet in length with a broad veranda fac ing the sound, and containing about one hundred rooms for guests of the hotel. It was built about two years ago and cost, probably, ten or twelve thou sand dollars. No damage was done to the hotel. A cottage, in" course of construction at Ocean View, belonging to Rev. Robert Strange, was also wrecked by the furious windsY - SOUTHPORT. The gale was severe at Southport, but no damage is reported. It is feared, however, that the small steam yacht Ella, which arrived a few days ago from Florida, and put to. sea at 4 p. m. yesterday in the teeth of gale, was swamped by the high sea running. The Clyde steamer Pawnee came in over the bar about 7 o'clock last evening. She made two or three Unsuccessful at tempts to. enter the river before she suc ceeded, and in one of these her steering gear was damaged. Finally, with a lib eral use of oil to smooth the waves, she managed to make the harbor. ' The cap tain reported high seas and rough weather all the way from Georgetown. - SIGNALS CONTINUED. " A special bulletin from the Weather Bureau at 11 o'clock last night, directed that the southwest storm signals be continued for Wilmington. Also, - at other stations along the coast as far north as Norfolk. HIGHWAY, ROBBERY. A Bold Attack on a Colored Man by Two - ETegroes. A bold attempt at highway robbery was made last night about half-past ten o'clock. Hamilton Hargrove, colored, was on his way home when he was stopped on the corner of Second and Walnut streets by two negro men. One of them pointed a pistol at Hargrove and the other man demanded his pocketbook and attempted to search his person. Hargrove made outcry and rah, and the man with the pistol fired three times at him, but did not hit him. The firing attracted- the attention of people in the vicinity, and Mr. Jas. W. Monroe and . Mr. Jas. D. Smith, who were the first persons, to reach the- spot, gave chase to the would-be robbers but failed to overtake thenT. Hargrove said that the men who at tacked him came out of a house on the corner ot Second and Walnut streets. On inquiry being made at the house, a colored woman 'found there admitted that two men had been there during the evening, but she said she did not know them. - . Preparing for War. Those who are fond of "wetting a hook" are preparing elaborate cam paigns for war on the unsuspecting fish of both the rivers and creeks and the "briny deep," and dealers in fishermen's "tools" are driving a big trade. Mean--time the piscatorial prevaricator js re vamping his ancient "anecdotes" aad is practicing daily on his imaginary foot rule." ' - : , Back Taxes Collected. It Was mentioned a few days ago in the Star that $300 of delinquent taxes for 1892 had been collected by the new 9ty government. .Since then, $300 more has. been received . on this account, by the city clerk and treasurer.. ; Star. WHOLE NO. 8,110 . OPERA HOUSE- . - m -". Miss Adelaide Westcott'a Be citation, of " SwiteerlandV V . The entertainment at the Opera House last, night was poorly attended, which is very much to be regretted, not only on account of its being for the benefit of a very worthy charity, the Shelter of the Silver Cross, but because it was a first class, high toned entertainment in every respect. No doubt the inclemency of the weather prevented a great many from attending who would otherwise have done so. ' Miss Westcott very pleasantly and en tertainingly ; portrayed the varied and grand sights of Switzerland to the audi ence in such a way as to make them feel as Xl they were viewing the scenes them selves. Miss Westcott is a charming young lady of undoubted talent; her stage presence is superb,' and her elocu tion of the highest order. Her imper sonation of a young girl was true to life, and especially in this character did she captivate the audience, which showed its appreciation and enthusiasm by repeated and vociferous applause. Miss Westcott's recitation was divided into four parts, and during the intervals a number of ladies and gentlemen repre senting some of Wilmington's musical talent, delighted the audience with a musical programme. . This was a credit able feature of the entertainment and added to the enjoyment of the occasion. The first selection was rendered by a quartette composed of Mrs. J. W. Thor burn, Mrs. Frank A. Muse, Mr. A. S. Holden and. Prof. Jas. A. Baker. Mr, Frank Welsh sang two solos. He was heartily encored, and sustained his well earned reputation as one of. Wilming ton's best bass soloists.- Mr. Herbert K. Holden also favored- the audience with two solos. The accompanyists were Miss Alma Williams, Mrs. Frank Welsh and Mr. E. Munson. Enforcing the Hog and Cattle Ordinance. Mayor Fishblate is enforcing " the or dinance prohibiting cows and hogs run ning at large in aVay that is likely to break up the nuisance. He said yester day in commenting upon, several cases brought,before him thathe intended to do all in his power to protect the public plazas and private gardens from depre dations of cattle and other stock. One party a white man who had three cows in the pound, was fined $15.00 and costs five dollars for each cow; and two colored men, owners of hogs found running at large, were each fined $2.50 and costs. Mr. 8prunt's Literary Venture. The Raleigh . News and Observer, whose editor was born and reared in the Cape Fear section, thus refers to Mr. James Sprunt's effort to revive interest in our colonial history: In the last issueof the Southport Leader is a very interesting article, which is the beginning of a series, by Mr. James Sprunt, giving some account of Orton. one of the most famous plan tations in North Carolina. Settled by Col. Maurice Moore soon after the lodg ment on the Cape Fear, it has had many distinguished owners, and is to-day one of . the finest plantations in the State. Around it and its vicinity are clustered many traditions of interest, and Mr. Sprunt deserves thanks for his effort at perpetuating them. ' . Crossed Wires Cause Commotion. . ' A rotten telephone pole on Red Cross street between Front and Second, fell during the high wind yesterday about noon, and in its fall brought down a fire alarm wire. The two fell across the trolley-wire of the street railway, and for a time caused' considerable commotion. The fire-alarm bell rang; a telephone box in Mr. T. H. Rehder's store was set on fire and a telephone instrument in the Atlantic Coast Line office was burned. No other damage resulted. Lightning Strikes Charleston. At last Charleston has been rudely awakened from its , condition of com mercial coma and is to have electric cars. A Western syndicate has bought the two-horse (or "one-horse") lines and the necessary, transfer papers will ' be ready in a day or two. But the West erners did not get both the old lines .for nothing. They pay $125 a share for the City Railway stock, par value $50, and $14 a share for. Enterprise stock, par value $25.
