men of to-day. Mr. Hewitt sat down
to a big dinner which his dyspeptic
'stomach wouldn't let him eat, and he
had to vent his spleen in some way.
Hewitt is all right but his stomach
is all wrong and gets away with his
brains, j udgment and tongue some
times. At a recent dinner given by the
Gridiron Club, of Washington, where
beefsteak was broiled and served on a
slice of bread, without knife, fork or
any other tools, Tom Reed won the
honors for getting outside of the
beefsteak and bread with neatness
and dispatch. There were quite a
number of Congressmen, Senators,
&c, there, but Tom showed the most
dexterity of jaw and capacity of
girth. Tom isn't an easy man to get
away with under any circumstances.

MYSTERIOUS RABBIT FOOT.
The Xieft Hind Foot Comes to tbe
Front
in' s Trial at Greensboro.
In the Greensboro Record appears an
account of an organ dealer seizing an
organ, in which a rabbit s loot played a
prominent part. Here is the report of
the case :
One of these instruments (an organ
not a rabbit's foot) bad been sold on the
instalment plan to a colored woman. In
default of payment tbe agent of tbe
company made two attempts to get his
property but failed. Than be invoked
the aid of the law.
fjln this be was successful, but instead
of taking it by due process, viz: having
an officer with him, he, perhaps not
knowing any better, went himself and re
moved tbe organ.
Thereupon tbe woman bad him in
dicted for trespass. The case was beard
some time last fall by Justice Wolfe, and
the defendant, tbe organ agent,
bonnd over to Court.
Tbe case was beard yesterday in tbe
Superior Court. The aggrieved party
the colored woman testified that the
defendant displayed a rabbits foot
supposed to be tbe left hind foot of a
crave yard rabbit and that it intiroi
dated her.
Asked if she was afraid, she replied
she was afraid of tbe man and the graye
yard relic as well, as the defendant
pulled it out. rubbed it over the organ
and across her daughter's arm, saying it
had never yet gone back on him, thereby,
as it were, unnerving her in the perform
ance ot ner vested rights,
1 he jury evidently didnt believe in
allowing such a display of "conjuring,'
for they returned a verdict of guilty and
Tbe delendant was convicted.

N. C, THURSDAY, MARCH 1 1894.
COTTON YIELD AND PRICES.
Comment on Present and 'Future Prloes
and Sizs of the Crop -Some Practical
Suggestions aa to the Coming Crop.
The New Orleans Picayune has the
following interesting article on cotton:
For some time past the price of cotton
has been g'adually declining, until now
middling is worth but a slight fraction
more than 7 cents per pound. The
cause of this low price cannot be ascribed
to any excess ot production this year, as
it now seems reasonably certain that the
crop will prove to be somewhere be
tween seven and a quarter and seven and
a half million bales, a supply which,
under ordinary trade conditions, wonld
not prove either excessive or unusually
ample.
It is true that, added to the crop of
this year, there is the surplus carried
over from tbe two heavy crops prior
to that of last seison, which even the
small crop of 1892-93 failed to ma
terially diminish; but even with that
added, the available supply this year
would not have been burdensome had
trade been all that it should have been.
It is true that Europe enjoyed a fairly
prosperous business in cotton eoods
this year until recently, but this pros
perity has been, in a very great meas
ure, offset by the depression which has
prevailed in the cotton goods trade of
the United States. American spinners
have taken 250.000 bales less cotton
this year than last, and this decrease
is expected to widen weekly for the rest
of the season.
The recent decline in silver has put a
serious check upon the hitherto satis
factory European trade. Tbe uncer
tainty created by tbe silver situation has
induced foreign spinners to limit their
taking to the smallest proportions, hence
the cotton-growing interests are now
confronted with bad trade both at home
and abroad.
With these conditions apparent, it is
not surprising that the price of cotton
has declined ol late; but tbe decline has
been so rapid and continuous that there
is reason to hope that the effects of bad
trade have now been discounted, and
that from this on a steadier range ot
prices will prevail, even should there not
be a gradual Improvement.
The lesson of tbe existing depression
of cotton for producers is that a large
crop is not wanted next season. As soon
as it is apparent that producers have
profited by recent experience and have
planted less cotton, there will probably
be an advancement in price. Tbis would.
therefore, appear to be a good season for
cotton farmers to put to a practical test
the system of diversified farming. Let
tbem plant more grain and give greater
attention to live stock, hogs and miscel
laneous farm products, and less to cot
ton, and it is generally believed that the
season's results would prove decidedly
more satisfactory, while tbe cotton mar
kets would be given an opportunity of
working off the immense accumulated
svrplus of raw cotton.
GRAND OPENING
At Messrs.
Ken and Folvofft'a Dry Goods
House.
Hundreds ot people ladies and gen
tlemen of the city ot Wilmington at
tended the grand opening last night by
Messrs. Katz & Polvogt, dry goods
dealers. No. 116 Market street. The
building was brilliantly illuminated
and handsomely decorated throughout.
The firm, with its characteristic
enterprise, secured the services of Mr.
C. H. Westbreok, an artistic decorator
and window-dresser, formerly with a
prominent firm in Richmond, Va. He
has accepted a permanent position with
Messrs. Katz & Polvogt, and will assume
charge of their linen department.
The floral work was by Mr. Wil
Rheder, and handsomely enhanced the
magnificent display ot fabrics.
The people commenced flocking to see
the display about 8 o'clock, and by 10
p. m. it was estimated that over eight
hundred people bad gone through tbe
establishment.
Ihe novelty of having an evening
opening was thoroughly original and the
effects cannot be appreciated until seen.
The opening continues Thursday and
Friday nights, from 8 to 10 o'clock.
Within three years the firm will have
completed its fiftieth year, it having been
organized in 1847 by Mr. Morris M. Katz
A Polioe Pointer
Superintendent Byrnes, of tbe New
York police force, says that a distinctive
feature of a criminal, especially of a
thief, is his foot, and that he can recog
nize it as far as be can see it. He says
that no matter what sort of a boot or
shoe a thief may put on, it will take on
a rounded look and turn up at the toe.
Generally the arch of the foot is low, but
whether it be or not, turning up of the
toes is always there, and comes from the
thief's characteristic method of walking.
The superintendent said that he had
spent many hours studying: the feet of
criminals, and that in nine cases out of

AT THE CITY HALL.
Beoond of the Series of Entertainments by
the ladies of Grace M. E. Church The
Circulating; Library.
A snuch larger crowd was present
last night at the entertainment ot the
Ladies Social Society of Grace M. E.
Church than the night before. The
Hall was crowded and a good time
generally was bad.
The entertainment began with a solo
by Miss Carrie White, whose rich, full
and sweet soprano voice was commented
upon on every side. After loud and con
tinued applause she sang for an encore,
"O Leave Me Not, Dear Heait." which
was also applauded. She was accompa
nied with an obligato on tbe piano by
Miss Cannie Chasten, and on the cornet
by Mr. Sim A. Schloss.
This was followed by a repetition of
the sheperdess drill, which was executed
in tbe same good taste and gracefulness
as on the previous evening, and was
applauded.
Then came the "Circulating Library,"
which was a grand treat. The following
were the characters represented:
"Librarian," Mr. H. J. Clark; "Green-
leaf's Arithmetic," Miss Bessie Maun
der; "The Woman in White," Miss
Annie Bowden; "One Summer," Miss
Corrinne King; "Pickwick Papers," Miss
Camille Pennington; "The Lady
of the Lake," Miss Lura Wheeler;
Meb Lady," Miss Mamie Hankins;
"The Rose In Bloom," Miss Lucy Bow
den; "Red Gauntlet," Miss Effie Scott;
Looking Backward," Miss Isabel Yopp;
"An Original Belle." Miss Olivia Dar
den; "Don Quixotte," Mr. Geo. King;
"Little Doritt," Mis3 Norah Scott;
"Robinson Crusoe," Clayton Grant;
Mother Goose," Miss Louise King;
Red Ridinghood," Miss Darling Willis;
"Two Little Confederates," Joe Hill and
Alvas Bowden; ' The Old Fashioned
Girl," Miss Kerth Covington; "The New
Fashioned Girl," Miss Lilly Horn:
Ivanhoe." Mr. Horace Bagg; " The
Wide.Wide World," Miss Georgie Orrell;
"Not Like Other Girls." Miss Daisy
McEachern; "In Darkest Africa,"
Miss Hennie Walker; "Lamb's Essays,'
Miss Lilly Ward; "The Baby's Grand
mother," Miss Lilly McLaurin; "Little
Women," Misses Hazel Love, Mary
Rone, Neppie Borden; "Little Men,
Parker Lewis, Willie Corbett; "Young's
Night Thoughts," Miss Alice Craft; "Six
Little Girls," Misses Maud Bulluck,
Helen Fillyaw, Theresa Penny, Lucy
McEachern, Gertrude Bryant, Ida Han
kins; "Tom Sawyer," David Clark; "The
Young Voyagers," Archie Bulluck, Ed
die Schulken, Arthur Schulken, Edwin
Moore; "The Daisy Chain," Miss Alice
Borden.
The part of "Samantha at the World's
Fair" was particularly funny and left
every one wondering who it was.
The singing of Misses Lily Belle Mc
Laurin, Alice Craft and Alice Borden
was charmingly rendered and every one
was pleased with their young voices.
After the entertainment refreshments
were served by tne iaay waiters, ana
about 11 o'clock everybody left, highly
pleased.
In yesterday's account it should have
been Mrs. Archibald C. Craft who had
worked so faithfully in training the
children, instead of Mrs. E. C. Cralt. It
was a typographical error.
Little Miss Jennie Stanland (not
Stanton) was one of tbe juveniles who
took part in "Tom Thumb" Tuesday
