There are no flies on West Earl,
Pal, but there Is something worse. A
little critter of an insect has put in
an appearance, which gets on things
and people and makes life miserable.
Friends are afraid to meet and store
keepers are in trouble7 because the
little pest destroys everything it
comes in contact with. Where it
came from and how It got there is a
mystery,, but it is there and seems to
have settled down to business with
a . perfect indifference to popular
clamor. " '
As an illustration of how the pen
sion business works sometimes, it
has been discovered that Mrs. Nellie
Reynolds, of Binghamton, N, Y.,
has been drawing a pension as the
widow of two dead soldiers, whom
she married while another husband,
a soldier, was living. He still lives,
but whether Nellie divies the pen
sion money with him is not stated.
She drew the double pension for
twenty years before the discovery of
her triple marriage was accidentally
made.
These are days not only of fleet
ocean steamers but big ones When the
Great Eastern was built, which, how
ever, proved a failure because they
didn't have the engines in those days
to drive her, she was looked upon as
a marvel of naval architecture. Now
the White Star line is about to build
one in England which will be 800 feet
long, 200 feet longer than the Great
Eastern. She will be a hummer for
speed, too. ,
t The Philadelphia ' waiters want
whiskers, more wages, better food,
shorter hours, a day off each week,
and extra pay for rigging up for

reason they didn't demand " the hos

gas from Canadian gas wells, and the
question has been .submitted to the

"How I Got dat Gal 'Nervy" is the
title of a Southern dialect story which
appeared in a recent issue of the Louis
ville Courier-Journal. It, is from the
pen of Mr. Norwood V. Gause, - of this
city, and is his first effort in the dialect
line. But it is well done, nevertheless.
In truth, no better proof of this is
needed than the fact that it was ac
cepted by a paper with the literary
standing of the Courier-Journal.

'The second race, one mile, for the
Hilton ' Park Championship .medal was
thrown out, and the following "protest"
was made by Mr. A. Lord, judge, and Mr.
J. R.' Hanby, referee:
"Having understood that the race for
the Hilton Park Championship medal
had been thrown but, we desire to state
that we have not been consulted on the
subject, and cannot see any cause for its.
being done. Messrs. Sawyer and Scat
tergood were , the only entries and be-
cause Mr. Scattergood should drop out
we fail to see why Mr. Sawyer should
not have the medal. Mr. Cooper was
not in the race, and publicly stated so
before it started." . ..

PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS
Little "Star" Twinkles for Those In
terested in the Military Bazaar.
. "Third and last call " to-night at
the bazaar. ;
Step, boys," step, step with care,
step right down to the military fair.
" "Tickets to the concert, ladies and
gentlemen. Only fifteen cents or three
nickels."
It will be awful funny to-night to see
the army and the navy pulling against
each other.
"In the swim:" that match floating
in the bowl oi water in Prof. Nutt's
Freak Show.
"All's well that ends welL" Let
the bazaar end well to-night that is,
the "business end." .
- Daniel will not be in the lion's den
thisfVening; but he may be in Cupid's
toils, which is worse. r
"Eyes right." Yes; bless their souls,
their eyes and their hearts, too, are all
right. So, don't get left to-night, boys.
Every nice young man, or at least
all those who can, will go right down to
the fair and spend every dime he can
spare.
The aggregation of bazaar beau
ties to-night will be more dazzling than
the brilliancy of ten thousand arc elec
tric lights.
There was " music in the heir" at
the fair last night ; but he was so small
he couldn't cry with the voice of the
older Infantry. .
The "Farewell Chorus" to-night
will remind those who attend the bazaar
that the last opportunity of swelling the
receipts is offered.
The eyes of Wilmington are on
you. This applies to the young man
who is squandering his patrimony in
cent-a-minute talks in the Living Li
brary. . "Take all the chances" to-night. As
a result you - may draw a clock, and if
you don't you tan "draw" any number
of sighs about the size of a silver dol
lar, for example.
A young man said yesterday he
couldn't afford to go to the bazaar. . but
he did go, and he came away smiling
and feeling rich. She had promised to
"ask papa about it." .
, There may be some "splicing" to
night at the military fair, but it will be
only among those who"know the ropes."
The ordinary kind will come later, on
the general principle of cause and effect.
Miss
is tire-most beau
tiful young lady who has thus far at
tended the bazaar. The "Paragraphic
Pointer" of the Star would not fill that
blank for "four book coupons and ten
cents.
Classical literary topic for discussion
at the Living Library to-night The
Weather, with variations on the Ther
mometer. Prize for the best conversa
tionalist, zero; for the worst, anything
below zero.
The Naval Reserves, with their
new arms and accoutrements, will make
a fine display to-night,' and they will
"present arms" (to the ladies) with a
frequency that may result, in some
cases, in an nnconditional surrender.
What a mess of busted hopeSi and
broken hearts, and fragmentary .china.
and crushed beavers, and juiceless
therell be among the "leavings" of the
bazaar after the "grand finale" to-night.
There are "golden possibilities" for
the young man who goes to the military
bazaar to-night that is. if he has the
yellow stuff;" but even if his purse con
tain only the "dollars of our daddies"
therell be a "silver lining to the cloud"
that may, perchance, darken his matri
monial pathway.

THE FLORENCE BANK FAILURE
The Branch at Lumberton Closes Its
Doors A . Lucky - Subscriber ' of. the
Morning Star Oeta His Money $5,000
Dne Depositors and Only $400 on
. ; Hand. . . v
Special Star Correspondence
Lumberton, N. C, May 18.
Editor Morning Star : '.- ' ' -
Dear Sir: Yesterday, when the mail
from Wilmington arrived here, one of
the subscribers of the Star upon look
ing over the paper, saw your notice of
the failure of the - bank at Florence, S.
C. Our bank hefe being in the same
system, he immediately went to the
bank and checked out what . money
he had in the bank. He was followed
in a few moments by another de
positor who attempted to draw , out his
money, bat the bank not having enough
on hand to pay the full amount of his
deposit, paid him one-half. ' Then a
rush was made by depositors, when C B.
Skipper, cashier, informed them that he
had paid out all the money on band and
could .do nothing for them. So the
matter stands. We are completely in
the dark here as to the matter, and have
gained more information from the Star
than from all other sources., .
The condition of the bank on yester
dayas I learn showed deposits to the
amount of about five thousand dollars,
and only about four hundred and fifty
dollars on hand in cash. I learn that
under the system of our bank the presi
dent had full control of deposits, and
could remove them from this bank at
his pleasure, and to any place he might
see proper. We learn that there is about
four hundred dollars to tnis bank's
credit in some New York bank. This is
the only fund now in reach to pay de
positors. Our people are taking it easy and hop
ing for the best. - Some think they will
be paid the full amount of deposits;
others have given up all hope. . '
Another feature of this suspension is
the liability of stockholders, which is just
now creating some uneasiness. Not hav
ing seen the charter of the bank, I am
unable to speak of this matter. -

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS-
Closing Exercises . at Hemen-way Many-
Visitors in Attendance An Entertain-
. "ment That .Was Very Much Enjoyed.
The spacious hall of the Hemenway
School building was scarcely able to ac
commodate the immense audience as
sembled there yesterday morning to wit
ness the closing exercises of .that school.
. Prof. Noble had kindly reserved seats
for "the School Committee, the County
Superintendent of Public Instruction, the
Ministers and reporters. -v
; . A very interesting programme had
been arranged and was faithfully carried
OUL . -: .J . . ' :
First on the list was a song, "Merrily
Sing by the schooL
The second, a song, "Bees and Frogs,"
was sweetly sung by twenty young girls.
: Next came one of the most attractive
numbers, a piano and violin duet by
Miss Bessie Bum and Miss Norma
Foster. The latter handled the "King
of instruments' with remarkable sweet
ness and delicacy of touch, and the for
mer accompanied her with a fine con
ception , of what an accompaniment
should be.
The seventeen boys in their midship
men's uniforms, sang the "Midshipmite"
with a hearty good will. Their march
ing was a very enjoyable feature, and we
feel sure that in a few years the Naval
Reserves will have well trained rein
forcements. The fifth number was a charming
operetta called Old Mother Hubbard;
with the following cast : ,
. Mother Hubbard, Lillian Home;
Grandchild, Nettie Van; Fairy Queen,
Mattie Kean; Mother. Hubbard's dog,
Walter Mclntire; King-Faithful, George
Manning.
It was a new version of the old story
set ' to rhyme' and music The Fairy
Queen was attended by twelve - little
fairies who did her -bidding with ease
and grace. The King had a retinue of
little princes gorgeous in court costumes.
All the cast performed their parts re
markably well and little Willie Mclntire
the dog transformed by the Fairy
Queen into a. Prince broughtdown the
house. The clear annunciation of all
the children was noticeable, especially
that of Mattie Kean. '
The exercises closed with a song,
"Merry Spring Time," by the school.
. The entire programme gave evidence
of very careful and painstaking training.
Mrs. McLeod and Miss Yarborough
were the accompanists.
Mr. Noble then stated that there had
been enrolled in that school durfng the
year four hundred and fifty pupils. He
said he wanted to correct the impression
in the minds of some that there was a
difference between Hemenway and
Union schools in instruction and grade.
It is a mistake. The same course of study
is used in both schools; both are
under the same management, and the
only difference in the schools is that
there are, in the course at Union, two
grades higher than at Hemenway, simply
because at the time the higher grades
became necessary there was a greater
need of it at the Union under reversed
conditions they woald have been added
to Hemenway. When the pupils in the
last named school have - finished the
course there they go to Union, and have
the advantage of the 'higher grades, and
therefore all receive the same instruc
tion,;; "" ' '
He thought fifteen years ought to
qualify him to judge, and it is his
opinion that no town in the State has a
corps of teachers superior" to that of
Hemenway. ; - ;
He returned thanks to the teachers on
behalf ot the school committee; to the
audience for their kind attention and to
Miss Yarboro for her assistance with the
music, and the closing exercises of Hem
enway were finished.. -f
The audience was delighted, and the
managers and teachers deserve much
praise for the record the school has
made. - 1 "
To-day at eleven o'clock Mr. Noble,
stated, the closing exercises of the Union

and the attendance last night reached
the high water mark, v -
The attendants at every booth seemed
to be rushed to wait on, the customers
and the receipts must have exceeded
-those of any preceding evening.
: The captain of the Marion-Tjiurence
reported fine sailing she thinks they
will reach port ahead of all with, flying
colors. .
At the Ice Cream Booth several W.
L. I. boys made themselves useful as
waiters, and proved themselves wonder- -ful
adepts in the art. It is generally
known that they know how to wait on
the ladies, but in this instance they were
quite as successful in serving the sterner
sex. - ' " .
The Concert was the feature of the
evening, and was very largely attended.
The first number was "The Old North
State," sung by the Glee Club in a most
patriotic manner. .
Then a duet by Mrs. J. H. Watters
and Mrs. Warren Elliott "The Lover's
Meeting" which was charmingly ren
dered. . . ; -The
Glee Club followed with a chorus
"To the Fairest" which was much
enjoyed. J "
Mrs. Elliott's rendition of that exqui
site song, 'Promise Me," was very
effective. 'She received an Encore and
responded with a catching little ballad.
The appearance of Mrs. Harriss nee
Annie DeRosset) was the signal for a
burst of applause. She sang, in a most
naive and charming manner, "I Love
Thee," and when encored, responded with
the popular song, "In Old Madrid."
The next number was a duet
"L'Adio" by Mrs. Watters and Mr.
Horace Emerson, which was very fine.

trio "Summer Fancies" by Mrs. Har
ris, Mrs. Watters and Mrs. ElliottrThese
names are a sufficient guarantee of the
excellent style in which it was given. It
is a waltz song, full of melody and
rhythm, and was one of the most enjoy
able features of the concert.
The music was interspersed with some
ot the tableaux oi the Living Statuary
given the night previous, which elicited
vigorous applause.
Mrs. Watters and Mrs. Elliott deserve
much praise for the entertainment
afforded by their efforts.
Mrs. M. P." Taylor and Mr. Ed. Mun-
son added much to the concert by .their
fine accompaniments. -
: NOTES BY THE WAY.
A handsome roller tray trunk is being

If someyoung lady could win the
ticket to Chicago and the trunk also she
would be sorry it isn't Leap Year.
The Orange tree has again borne
fruit. It is a remarkably prolific tree and
brings forth fully ripened fruit in one
day. ...
Some articles of interest have been ad
ded to the Confederate Museum. Among
them a very elaborate box, trimmed with
ivory, containing a stereoscope and large
large number of views sent tp Mrs. Whi
ting by a gentleman in Liverpool
through the blocade. Also, a handsome
silk lace shawl which came through the
same dangerous channel:
Prof. Nutt wishes it known that Mr,
Henry Angel will appear to-night in ne
gro character delineations on the stage
which was used for the concert. One
ticket will admit to both that feature
and the Freak Show. Mr. Angel's abil
ity in this particular line is well known
and should insure him a large audience.
Mr. Roy Thomas and Mr. Henry Angel
have been indispensable aids to Prof.
Nutt in his "Great Aggregation of Won
ders" They have, proven themselves
especially adapted to the business of
drumming up a crowd. -
To-night will be positively the last
opportunity to see' the. freaks. They
will all be shipped to the World's Fair
(so the Professor says) at once.
