The lower House of the Danish na tional legislature is called the Folke thing. The lower house of our national-legislature is getting to be a no-quorum-thing. New Jersey people are said to be contracting the habit of getting drunk on paregoric. This is a more soothing drunk than a Jersey light ning one, and does not leave so much split head after it. The Supreme Court of Michigan has declared the law passed by the Legislature requiring inebriates to take the liquor cure at the State's expense unconstitutional. It is the inherent right of the Michigander not to be cured aga'tpst his will. Dr. Paxton, the New York minis ter who obligingly concealed the fact cf Mr. Breckinridge's secret marriage and failed to record it as required by law, was fined $10, but whether the Colonel paid the fine for him or not is not stated. That is a fine business all around. It is announced that a convention of working men will be held in Wash ington on the 20th and 21st inst., to protest against the passage of the Wilson bill. That's too thin. This is another dodge in which the pro tected manufacturers are working the working men. Mr. William E. Ferguson, of New York, a recognized authority on shipping, says that of 327 vessels en gaged in transporting grain from New York last year only one was an American. That's a nice showing for the policy pursued in "protecting American shipping. Some of the Republican organ are mad with Speaker Crisp for hav ing set "a dog of a Sergeant-at-Arms' on Tom Reed when Tom persisted in holding the floor after he had been gavelled down. 1 he next thing we know they will be accusing Mr Crisp of "hounding" Tom. Augusta, da., nas one or more broom factories and has to import broom corn. The Chronicle says the freight on one cargo just received was $175. And yet more broom corn could be grown around that town than one could shake a stick at; Dut tne tarmers don t seem to catch on to it. foreign correspondents say that the whole Hungarian people vied wun eacn otner in doing honor to the remains of Kossuth when they were brought home for interment Posthumous honors are good enough but if these people had shown a frac tion of this interest in the living Kos suth tnere would have been much more comfort in lite in his closing years. for the old man There is no rose without a thorn. With all the nice things the papers are saying about "Senator" Walsh, some of them are publishing such horrid pictures of him that it must make him more than half sorry he was appointed Senator, and the very worst of the batch was presented by his own paper. It looks as if the kodak men bad caught him just after he had escaped from a cyclone. , THE MOKMNG VOL. LIV.-NO. 12. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. D. L. Gore Pork. Star Office Boy wanted.

DO YOU WANT A NEW BANK Tbe Auspicious Moment Has Arrived It the People of Wilmington Really Want More Banking Capital the Op portunity Now Freaenta Itself. Messrs. John S. Armstrong, of Tempe, Arizona, and L. L. Jenkins, of Gas tonia, are in our city, and, as is generally known, tbetr object is to establish a new National Bank. They are gentlemen of character and means; and it is no secret that they are willing to take a large ma jority ot the stock necessary to start a bank with a capital of $100,000, But they are strangers here, and wish not onfy additional subscriptions, but tbey must have local influence in order to make the enterprise a success. This is an important matter to the peo ple ot Wilmington. Here are two gen tlemen who come here with (75,000 of outside capital in tbeir pockets and say to our business men : "If you will raise $35,000 we will organize a new bank here, thus adding $100,000 to the bank ing capital of your city." This is the whole story, stated plainly and briefly, There is not a reasonable man in this community who would expect entire strangers to come here and start a bank solely with tbeir own capital. They must have a Board of Directors, and they must have local influence through local stockholders. Does Wilmington need more bank ing capita)? If you read tbe article on this subject which appeared in the Sunday Star of March 25th you must reply in tbe affirmative. That article showed that the total banking capital of this city is less than $350,000. The opportunity now presents itself for adding $100,000 more to tbe beggarly quarter million with which we now try to transact our business. Is there not enough energy, enterprise and public spirit here to secure tbe new bank when the small sum of $25,000 is all that Wilmington is asked to subscribe? tne star leeis connaent tnat our people will not fail to meet the proposi tion of Messrs. Armstrong and Jenkins in a substantial manner, it may be very long before such an opportunity again presents itself. Such offers do not come along like April showers. They are literally "few and fer between." Tbe business men of tbe city will be called on during tbe present week and given an opportunity to make tne pro posed new bank a certainty. The Fuller-Parker Murder. A special dispatch to the Star from Raleigh says that in the Supreme Court of North Carolina yesterday argument was beard in the case of E. J. fuller, oi Favetteville, convicted of murder in the Superior Court of Cumberland county. Aitoroev General Osborne and T. B. Womack, Esq., appeared for the State, and Messrs. Geo. M. Rose, R. H. Battle, Chas. M. Cooke and W. W. Fuller for delendant. WILMINGTON, N. C, FRI AUDIT AND FINANCE. Prooeedinita of the Adjourned Meeting Held Yesterday.

The force as constituted wilt then be a Chief at $1,200 per annum; four sergeants at $1.60 per day, $2,336; 28 patrolmen at $1 5& per day, $15,330.

After tbe adjournment of the Board an informal discussion took place be tween some of the members and Mayor Fishblate in regard to the appropriation of $5,000 for a quarantine establishment near Southport, which had been passed over. Mr. I ones said he could see no way in which the money could be raised but by increasing taxation. It was stated that unless something was done, tbe ap propriation of $30,000 by tbe State, con tingent upon the appropriation of $5,000 by the city would be withdrawn. MR. C H. POLLEY, Mayor ot the Town of Monroe, Beaigna to Beturn to Wilmington. The Monroe (N. C) Enquirer reports a meeting ot tne commissioners oi tnat town on tbe oa inst., at wbicb Mayor C. H, Polley tendered his resignation on account ot tbe condition of his wife's health compelling him to seek a change of climate for her, and says: Mr. Polley was elected Mayor in 1890, and has been re-elected by a handsome msiortty at every election since that time. He has made a good Mayor, and it is with sincere regret that we lose him as an officer and as a citizen. Mr. Pol ley has been a citizen ot Monroe for fifteen years, and has become a "part and parcel" of the town. His place of business being next to the Enquirer office we have had an opportunity of knowing Mr. Polley as a man and as a neighbor, and it is with unfeigned regret that we part with him and most sincerely wish for him success wherever he may cast his lot. We can honestly say of him that which cannot be said of many men, he paid strict attention to his own business and left other people to do the same. Mr. and Mrs. Polley left to-day (Wed nesday) for Wilmington, tbeir future home. STODDARD WORK COMPLETE. All the Series, lrom One to Sixteen, Now Beady Bend Ordera Before the Offer la Withdrawn.

Mayor Fishblate stated that tbe Fi nance committee bad a letter from Blair & Co.. of New York, in regard to j tbe loan of $18,810.00 to the city. Alderman Harriss moved to renew the loan at the same rate ot interest. . Alderman Harriss of the Police Com mittee offered a resolution to abolish the office of Captain of Police and reduce the salaries of sergeants, privates and janitors to $1.50 a day instead of $1.60 a day, a reduction of 10 cents a day which was carried. Mayor Fishblate stated that this had to be done owing to stringency in money matters and dull times, and thought it better to reduce salaries than to cut down the force. Alderman Latimer, of the Light Com mittee, said he was forced to reject an application for a light on Eighth and Red Cross streets, on account of the small appropriation. Alderman Yates stated that the light in lront of iapt. Harpers bouse had been out of order for several months. The Mayor stated that he would ap point as Permanent Street committee the regular Streets and Wharves com mittee. Alderman Fowler thought the regular committee was overworked and made a motion that Aldermen Latimer. Moore and Northrop should constitute the com mittee on permanent improvements The motion not meeting with a second was not entertained. The Mayor then made a long explana tion in regard to matters which came up before the grand jury in regard to pav ing Foruth street, north of the bridge and burying night soil within one mile of the city stating that the former would be fixed. (out not on account ol the grand jurys indictment, as there was no law to com pel the city to improve its streets), and in regard to the latter, uo reports had ever been made to any of the city offi cials. The Mayor then read the budget ot appropriations tor tne ensuing year, as follows : Improvement of streets and wharves, $14,440; police committee $1,966, hos pitals, $1,350; lights, $10,664; sanitary, $5,825; public building, $2,571; fire de partment, $12,266; prisoners, $500; salaries, $7,650; improvement to North Fourth street, $1,250, and about $2,000 for extraordinary and incidentals. The Mayor stated that $200 of the latter amount would go toward building a reel bouse for the Phoenix company (colored) of the First Ward and $150 to wards buying a horse. An ordinance prepared by City At torney Manning was passed ordering two firemen behind the scenes at each per formance at the Opera House to man hose and hydrant in case of fire, and a policeman at the doors entering the City Hall with keys.

Tbe following communication from tbe city attorney in regard to tax lists was read and referred to the Finance Committee: I suggest that the board instruct some committee to examine into the form now used for listing property for taxa tion, and aiso as to who may give in property, with a' view to securing proper description of real property listed, and to securing all property to be listed by tbe actual owner. The committee could present the result of their labors to tbe next regular meeting in time for any change tbey might suggest to be made before the time for listing arrives, The lists as now taken, as to the de- cription of real property, are sadly de fective. Mr. H. A. Bagg's application for the loan of the city's roller to work on roads in Harnett township was allowed. A petition from a number of citizens on Front street near the market house. not to allow frame buildings to be erected between the market house and Orange street, upon motion of Alder man Fowler was granted; not to allow any one to build a house in the above named place without its coming within the requirements of the ordinance in regard to fire limits.

Alderman VonGlahn called attention to property on Ninth between Castle and Queen streets listed for taxes in the name of E. J. Pennypacker's heirs. Tbe city attorney was requested to look into the matter. Alderman Moore offered resolutions in regard to the late Mrs. Hemenway, which were adopted, as follows. Whereas, We have heard with pro found regret and extreme sorrow tbe death of Mrs. Mary Hemenway, of Bos ton, Mass., Wilmington's most generous benefactress; therefore, be it Kesotved, that we gratefully recog nize Mrs. Hemenway s most liberal benefactions, and will every cherish her memory. Resolved, That the many worthy citi zens of our community educated through her princely generosity, and who are now filling so many positions worthy of trust and honor, and adorning so many happy homes, will ever be a monument to her memory more enduring than marble. Resolved, That the clerk of the Board be instructed to devote a page of our record book to the memory of Mrs. Mrs. Mary Hemenway and inscribe upon it the following tribute : To the Memory of Mrs. Mary Hemenway, Who died in Boston, Mass., March 6, 1894. A Most Generous Benefactress, Who, at Her Own Expense, Founded The Tileston Normal School In Our City. And for twenty years, at an expense of over $5,000 per annum, educated a large number of our children, at a time when so liberal an education could not have been obtained in any other way. Resolved, 1 hat a copy of these pro ceedings be sent to tbe family of the de ceased, with the assurance of our most profound admiration for, and gratitude to their deceased relative, and our deep est sympathy in their great affliction.

A Large Audienoe Seea Zsra Semon. Zera Semon is still attracting large crowds to see his wonderful entertain ments given at the Opera House every night. Last night the house was crowded, and all present were delighted and highly amused at the peculiar, amusing and startling things they saw. New features were added last night greatly to the delight of many who have been attending the former performances, me luggier was splendid in his many acts of skill and attainments. The walk ing skeleton talking, dancing and separating itself into parts and each limb moving and walking for Itself as though animated was startling indeed, as well as wonderful. The talking and lifelike images were amusing as well as mysterious. Zera Semon gives another perfor mance to-night. Timely Preoautlona. The ordinance passed by the Board of Aldermen last evening upon the recom mendation of Mayor Fishblate as to placing firemen in rear of the stage in the Opera House and also having two policemen with keys to the doors to the City Hall, at every performance, is very timely. This is donejn many cities, and no doubt would stay a panic in case a fire should occur in the Opera House, A hydrant has been placed on the stage with hose and pipe attached, as also axes, etc, in case of necessity.
