If President Cleveland; in addition to his other work, reads all the let ters he receives, telling him how to reduce his flesh, there will not be enough of him left to make a veto. Hermann, the magician, is a pretty clever slight-of-handist; but he says he's no match for Wall street boys. He tried his hand with them and they cleaned him oat of $75,000 so quick that it made his head swim. ' The Krag-Jorgenesn rifle, which has been adopted by the Government, has not only a stunning name but is a stunner also. It propels a ball with such force that at a distance of ;250 yards it will pierce twenty-nine one inch planks, and would bore a hole through half a dozen men standing in line. Al len G. Peck, of Company H, First Rhode Island Light Infantry, had a valuable suit of hair, but he didn't discover its value till he lost it. He lost it by typhoid fever, and then Commissioner Raum allowed him a pension of $4 a month and $364 back pension money. No scalp ing business about that. Germany is suffering from the worst drought she has experienced in half a century, resulting in such a scarcity of feed for cattle that it has been necessary to kill great numbers of them. But in addition to this she : is suffering from a young Kaiser who has his hobbies and thinks a great : deal more about them than he does about the -distress of the German people. Some of the Northern papers are scoring the grand jary for not bring-: ing in any indictment against the Decatur, 111., lynchers who some time ago lynched a negro ravisher. The coroner furnished the names of the leaders of the lynchers. - Out of the twenty-three grand jurors only four were in favor of returning bills against the lynchers, but these after listening to the speeches of the others went over to the majority and made it unanimous. Probably some of the jury had a hand in it. " Ex-Senator Edmunds objects to the annexation of Hawaii because if we annex "it would be only a ques tion of time when we should admit them as a State." Of course. And then with popular suffrage in "the Paradise of the Pacific" wouldn't we have 'some daisy Congressmen and Senators ? We have some daisies now, but most of them speak the English language and they all -wear shoes and enough clothes to permit them to go at large. Some men become famous in spite of themselves and sometimes just at a time when they don't want to be famous, which was the case with the Texas man who in 1865 "wrote a poem in honor of Booth the slayer of Abraham ' Lincoln. He had for gotten all about it and so had every body else except one small-souled individual who lugged it out and had it published because the writer had been appointed to a Government po sition. The man who could resort to such means to injure one he did not like would murder his mother-in-law for a punched nickel, f r yol; lii.-no. 8i - It has often been- remarked in this country that when a. public' work is started no one can tell what it is going to cost before it is finished That's the way it seems to run over in Canada, too. A case has been re cently brought to light where a firm which had a contract to build a $175,000 bridge across a canal at Montreal has already drawn $600,- 000, and the work is yet unfinished Although they had a" railroad for transportation they wagoned stone twenty miles, - making stone that would -cost $5a cubic yard cost $59, and put in a bill for $60,000 for lum ber, which f cost' $14,000. Perhaps they took some instructions from American "colonists." Boss McLaughlin, of Brooklyn, is none of your ordinary orators. He was booked for a speech at a dinner lately and he didn't go like C. Depew, Esquire, and other noted post prandial orators and study up a lot of bright impromptu remarks but delivered himself as follows: "Gen tlemen, I am glad to be with you; I am as good as you are, and I . think you are as good as-I am " The fact that he "thought" they were as good as he was shows that the Boss is not proud. - " N BW ADVE RTISEME NTS.

A correspondent ol the Star writing from Wooten. says crops are looking well, especially corn; but there is con siderable complaint about poor stands of cotton. - A heavy hail storm .j visited Kelly, Bladen county, last Monday, and played havoc with crops in that section. The sufferers estimate the loss at 20,000 bushels of corn, while fruit was totally destroyed. The - worst sufferers were Mr. A. McFadyen, Mr. Chas. Pridgen, Mr. Henry Pridgen, Mr. A. H.

Our Raleigh letter failed to reach us last night. The cause was probably with the mails, as it has been on every previous occasion when the letter did not reach us on time. - The -excursion to Carolina Beach yesterday, given under - the auspices of St. Paul's Epicopal Sunday School was largely attended. The schol ars tnj yeil themselves very much. The Italian brig Laboremus cleared yesterday for Bristol, Eng., with 500 -casks spirits turpentine and 2,694 barrels rosin, valued at $10,282.86.

This offer . will embrace twenty-five cent books at ten ten cents each. The oner now in the Star will be continued, with a slight modification. Savannah Sweating. If we may judge by the following from the News o the 2.7th, Savannah must be in somewhat of a -perspiration: "Mercury beat its record ol this year yesterday and equalled that of last year. At 2 o clock yesterday afternoon it touched the .96 degree mark. Weeks ago it went to 95 K degrees. June 24 last year it was 96 degrees. , .. . : I "The heat all of yesterday and during the early part of last night was intense. There was not a breath of air stirring, and the sun's rays beat down like fire. People who were oa the streets kept on the shady side where there was any, but the majority staid indoors or on shady balconies. There was little relief even then. The lack of breeze made the peat suffocating. Last night there was no breeze until after midnight. All over the city people remained out of doors, and balconies, doorsteps and sidewalks were filled with them. The faintest breath of air was caught at. Sleep was difficult and in some instances almost impossible." - In Wilmington the "oldest inhabitant" admits that the Spring and Summer weather here has thus far been delight ful almost beyond precedent. But this exemption from the nineties cannot con tinue indefinitely, and it is about time now to look for a hot wave. The Fourth at Carolina Beach. An elaborate programme is 10 prepara tion for the "Glorious Fourth "at Caro lina Beach. There will be a boat race in the surf between pilot skiffs manned by Cape Fear pilots, a game of base ball be tween Wilmington and Carolina Beach, music and dancing, and other features. A special schedule will be run by the steamers Wilmington and , Clarence which will include trips to "The Rockj Southport and to sea. N. C., THURSDAY, CHOLERA AND YELLOW FEVER. Reported Death f om Yellow Fever Near Brno wick, O eorRia The Chanoei for a Visitation from Cholera. ' Cholera and yellow fever are not pleas ant subjects for discussion, but as it is necessary to be on the alert, it is neces sary to keep thoroughly posted.. The annexed dispatch was sent from . Bruns wick, Ga, on the 26th: r. A special received in Brunswick to day from Lumber Dock, fifty-six miles distant; on the Sat ilia River, announced the death of Alfred J. Biddle, master of the American barkentine Anita Ber wind, from yellow fever. ' "Health Officer John A. Dunwoody to-night gave, the press the following of ficial statement: -' ' ' "The Berwind entered quarantine from Havana June 15. - All were well on board and reported no illness . on the passage She was .fumigated, entered, and then went up the Satilla River fifty six miles. "Master Berwind was taken' sick and was carried eight miles on shore in the country, where he died. " - ' . ''The vessel was loaded and ready to sail, was ordered off and has left for the national quarantine at Sapelo. All the crew and the vessel were thoroughly fu migated before leaving, and those in the country who came in contact with Bid die have been isolated. No more danger is apprehended, every precaution having been taken and the distance from any houss being a number of miles." Concerning cholera, the following from the Philadelphia Times is worth reading and considering : ! "Dr. Wyman, of the Marine Hospital Service, is disposed to take a rose-colored view ot the cholera prospect this year, holding that there is an even chance that no cholera will reach our shores, and a good deal more than ' an even chance that if it should it can be prevented from becoming epidemic. No one will find fault with Dr. Wyman for taking a hopeful view of the matter if his hopefulness does not learCim and his subordinates of the Marine Hospital Service to relax their vigilance. Our immunity from cholera up to this time is chiefly due to the rigid quarantine enforced last Fall,. which was in the na ture of a legal notice to all steamship companies that it would be big money ju their pockets to sift out cholera- infected passengers and baggage on the European side ot the Atlantic But the year is young yet, and there is plenty of time lor the cholera to run the blockade established in European ports. In what Dr. Wyman says of the means at hand to stamp out cholera if it crosses the Atlantic the American pub lic will take some stock and find not a little gratification. Thirty-seven States are provided with Boards of Health clothed with powers more of less effec tive for the prevention of the spread of the disease, while the Federal pro visions, both in legal power and money to enforce sanitary measures, will .very materially supplement the efforts of the State authorities in this direction. It is probably true that we are in much better cond ition to fight a cholera visitation than a year ago, or ever before for that matter. It is best that no case of cholera be allowed to land or develop on our shores if such a calamity can possibly be pre vented. With our extensive system of railway inland transportation and the unusual amount of travel arising from the great Fair at Chicago, the facilities for the spread of the disease, should it once gam a foothold, are exceptional. Dr. Wyman and his Marine Hospital Service, together with all the State and local health authorities on the Atlantic coast, should proceed upon the theory that it is better to keep the. cholera out than to admit "it and try to prevent its spread afterwards. It is good to be hopeful, but better to be watchtul. , I Bioe Crop Proepecta. H y.-.r. .? ;u. ;-T I The outlook for the rice crop, as re-r ported by Dan Tal mage's Sons, is as fol lows: ' , . ' V " I "Acreage and promised outcome in North Carolina and Georgia consider ably below that of last. year.

'Early crop looking handsome and first arrivals ex-i pected in August. The crop should prove quite equal to (he best average of the Carolinas. Reports , from other States are unfavorable, except Texas, which promises an outcome ' equal to North Carolina." Total area planted in the United States; 261,000 .acres; esti mated yield, 10,500,000 bushels." ' !

Meeting- of Creditors Held at the City . ' Hall Iiaat Night A Stormy Debate He- - ' eolations Adopted. , A meeting which was largely attended, was held at the City Court room last night in the interest of creditors of the Bank of New Hanover, Mr. Iredell Meares called it to order and after stating its purpose, nominated Mr. Win. Calder for chairman. Mr. Calder 'was unanimously elected. Mr. Nathaniel Jacobi was made secretary. Mr. Iredell Meares, after a long speech offered the following resolutions : Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting of the creditors of the Bank of New Hanover that the appointment -of two or more receivers for the winding up of the bank's affairs would be im politic, unwise and not to the interests of the creditors-. Resolved. That, having full confidence in the ability and integrity of Mr. Junius Davis, the present receiver, that it is the sense of this meeting that he should be continued in that office. . Resolved, That a committee of five representative business men be .ap pointed by the chairman of this meet ing at his leisure, to confer from time to time with the receiver- in charge of the bank's affair, and counsel, assist and ad vise with him as to the management of its affairs. Mr. S. Bebrends offered the following substitute : "That the chair appoint a committee of five to investigate the management of the bank and , report at a subsequent meeting." .. ' Mr. B. Solomon offered an amend ment to. the original resolution, to ap point seven men to act in harmony with the receiver, Instead of five. The amend ment was accepted. -Mr. John D. Bellamy, Jr., spoke against the resolution and in favor of the substi tute. Mr. Meares followed in favor of the reso lution, which after the discussion, which was very hot at times, personalities and insinuations being freely indulged in, was continued, Messrs. J no. D. Bellamy, Jr., S. Behrends and N. Jacobi speaking in opposition to the resolution . and Messrs. Iredell Meares, Geo. Roan tree, Jas. C Stevenson, Thos. W. Strange, H. McQammy, J. R. Williams, Hugh McRae, Chas. M. Whitlock. Gabriel Holmes in favor of it. The chairman had to call the meeting to order several times on account of gentlemen entering into personalities during the discussion. The substitute was voted on first and defeated. Mr. Meares accepted Mr. Sol omon's amendment. Mr. Louis Belden ask'd who fixed the receiver's salary, as there had been much said about how much he would receive. He was answered that the court fixed It. A viva voce vote was then taken on the resolution and it was carried. .The meeting then adjourned. - Moonlight Cruise of the Naval Beservci . : Quite a large crowd went with the Naval Reserves yesterday afternoon and last night on their first cruise by moon light to Carolina Beach on the steamer Wilmington. The boat made two trips one at five o'clock and one at eight and each took quite a number of pas sengers. Undoubtedly a great many per sons failed to go, owing to the threaten ing appearance of the weather, but those who did venture, were tfmply rewarded for doing so; for as the train rolled up to the Beach, the moon broke forth in all her glory, the rest of the evening shedding her bright and silvery light on the happy party. ' Many couples went down the beach bn: a "turtle egg hunt," and judging from the smiling faces when they re turned they were" evidently successful Music was furnished at the hotel by Haywood's band, and all enjoyed the dancing. An elegant supper of pig fish and other sea delicacies was served at the "Oceanic" hotel by Mrs. Mayo, the proprietoress, and the delightful breeze, beautiful moonlight, and , everything else combined to make , the excursion one of real pleasure. - The Reserves were all in full uniform, and it was indeed a pretty picture to see them walking the decks of the Wilming ton just as thongh they were real ma rines. All things taken together, it was one of the most pleasant and successful moonlight excursions of the season. A FayettevUle Enterprise. , The Gazette makes the following an nouncement: The United States Cigarette Machine and Tobacco Company was organized in Fayetteville, Monday, by the election of Capt. N.

The Teacher's Assembly is now in ses sion with quite a large attendance, but not ts large by a good deal as last year. . A Mr. Plant, of . Chicago, had the management of the Atlantic Hotel at that time and his treatment of the large number of guests was of such a nature very poor accommodations for the value given as had a tendency to keep a great many away; fearing the same treatment this season. But your correspondent' is happy to in form those who are kept away by this belief, that the hotel is under different management and is admirably kept. Mr. Perry, the manager, is an old hotelist and knows how to cater to the comforts of his guests. The crowd is not large, but large enough to make it very pleas ant and delightful. The Newbern House is also admira bly well kept and being a cosy, quiet place, makes it desirable for those who do not enjoy a large crowd. The tram stops in front of the house, which makes it very convenient for getting off and on the cars. - The camp for the State Guard is be ing rapidly cleaned up, preparatory to receiving the soldier boys when they come. The camp is situated about. two and a half miles from town, and imme diately on the railroad and near Bogue Sound. - The place is quite shady, and doubtless will be a good camp ground. Magistrate's Court. Justice McGowan will investigate the case of J. W. Gilmore, charged with stealing a mule from Lewis Davis, (both colored), of Harnett township, this morn ing at 10 o'clock. Jno. Pittman, charged with cutting Frances Fales (white boys, ten or twelve years of age), was tried by Justice McGowan, yesterday.' The case was found to be of small importance, and Pittman was turned over to his mother for punishment. Mary Jackson was charged with steal ing two dresses from Carrie Williams (both colored), but the evidence was not sufficient to make a case of larceny, and the defendant was discharged. THE WEATHER.
