Debs has been invited to take the stump for the Populists and has ac cepted. Probably if Debs had his choice he would take to the woods to avoid the prosecutions against him pending in the U. S. courts. Indiana was so hard up that she couldn't raise the money to pay her militia called out during the strike riots, but the Governor came to the rescue by borrowing the amount necessary, $45,000, on his own note. This incident is worthy of note. A more thoroughly capable and honest man than Grover Cleveland never occupied the Presidential chair; and it will be no surprise to the Star if, before the end of his present term, he is the most popular Democrat in the United States. The Board of Health, of Norfolk, advise the boiling of cistern water, used for drinking, until the cisterns are examined and the water tested. It is the safest to boil the water any way, and take no chances. If there were more boiled water there would be fewer graves in the cemeteries. Bacteria experts have discovered that a good many of the cheeses found on the market in New York contain the bacilli of diphtheria, and enough of them to destroy life. They didn't report any fatality among the "skippers," which were as lively as usual and apparently as healthy. - The New York Herald prints the Japanese-Chinese war news in Japa nese and Chinese for its Chinese and Japanese readers. It looks like a combination of the fire-cracker label and tea box literature. It shows, however, that American newspaper enterprise gets there even if it has to tackle heiroglyphics. Another illustration of the saying that "there is nothing new under the sun, is tound in the assertion that the Coreans used an iron-clad ship in their war with Japan in 1619. This turtle back ran into and punched holes in the Japanese wooden ships and sank them. She is still in existence at Yong Yong. ; The gang of men who tarred and feathered Adjutant-General Tarsney in Colorado some time ago, are not in such high feather now, for they have all been arrested and Tarsnev proposes to stick it to em. Contrary to expectation they turn out to be sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, etc., who had a spite against him for an al- V leged remark that he hoped that the "sheriff's posse would come back in coffins." Chief W. P. Hazen, of the United States Secret Service, got trail of a gang of counterfeiters and captured the whole plant the other day on a farm in Connecticut. He confis cated the plates, which were well ex ecuted, about $12,000 of bills ready to shove, and a stack of silk fibre paper, which was a good imitation of the note paper made for the Gov ernment. The engraver of the plates peached, and broke up this financial enterprise. A report comes from Alabama that a man who had taken refuge under a tree on the roadside during a thunder storm was struck by lightning and was apparently dead for five hours, when he suddenly revived and recov ered entirely, with the exception of the burns on the body. That his body was burned shows that the bolt came close enough to do more than merely shock. This recovery recalls the fact that a French elec trician ot reputation contends that electricity does not kill but simply suspends vitality, and that with proper efforts any person, however strong the charge of electricity may be, can be resuscitated. He contends that persons electrocuted are not killed by electricity bat - by the sur geon's knife. Standard novels are cheap at fnsrr to fre rents arh RmH liM of I books in another column.

The highest rate of speed ever attained is 200 words a minute. This is supposed to be tbe re sult of the most rapid movement the human hands are capable of. The per son making this record maintained this speed for only four consecutive minutes, and has never been able to exceed that limit. ' .;: Assuming the words averaged six let ters apiece, 1,200 letters a minute were written, it is estimated that to make each letter the fingers are raised to a height ol two inches from the keyboard. Two inches added (for the descending movement) make the fingers travel four inches before each letter is struck, So this expert's hand in writing these 200 words traveled 4,800 inches, or 400 feet, during the minute in which she wrote the 200 words. But this is un usual, of course. Very rapid writing is a speed ot seventy-five words a minute, and this rate is too fast for comfort, Practical work is ten pages of legal paper an hour. Each page contains 300 words. Six hours' steady writing can be regarded as an entire day's work. This is a speed ofrifty words a minute, and the practiced worker writes during the day sixty pages 18,000 words, or 108, 000 letters. If her finger travels four inches to make each letter, during the day it travels 432,000 inches. This pro vides for the perpendicular movement only, and it is fair to increase this dis tance by one-third .to estimate the dis tance the hands travel over the key board in a horizontal direction. The to tal sum in inches is 575,000. This is equivalent to 48,000 feet, or a little over nine miles a day. In a week the hands can cover fifty-four miles and in a year's steady application to business over 2,800 miles. ...... THE BICYCLE A VEHICLE Which Should be Allowed tbe Privileges of Other Vehicles. Dr. Frank R. Steel, President of the Richmond 'Cycle Club, and ex-Chief Consul Virginia Division, L. A.W.,when seen yesterday, says the Times, in regard to the resolution submitted to the Coun cil Committee on Grounds and Build ings to prevent bicycle riding in the public parks of the city, said: "I am surprised at such a resolution at this late date, when the bicycle is rec ognized everywhere as a vehicle of prac tical Dusiness utility, as well as pleasure. it is pertectiy proper to prombit riding in the Capitol Square and Monroe Park. They are not drive-ways. But in toe other parks bicycles should be accorded the same privileges as other vehicles; Many a man who cannot afford a horse and buggy finds health and recrea tion on his bicycle. Is it just to prohibit the use of the public parks to him and accord them to his wealthier neighbor ? The large majority of wheelmen are very considerate of the rights oi others, and they should not be made to suffer for. the thoughtlessness or carelessness ot a few." In ten years' riding I have never hurt a single pedestrian. . : I Regulations as to speed on streets or the carrying of lamps by night and bells in the day would meet with no objec tion from the 'cyclists, but to prohibit them the use ot the parks would certain ly be an injustice in my opinion. The League of American Wheelmen, composed of some thirty thousand mem bers throughout the Union, has tested this very matter of wheelmen's rights to the highways in numberless cases, and the highest courts all over the United States have repeatedly decided that the bicycle is a vehicle, and as such is en titled to all the privileges of other ve hicles. N. C. NAVAL RESERVES. The Wilmington Division Will Start To- Day on Their Cruise on tbe Nantucket and WUl be Joined Monday by tbe Newborn and Charlotte Divisions. All necessary arrangements for. the cruise of the Naval Reserves have been periected. i ne hammocks tor tbe men arrived by express last night, and the enthusiastic young fellows comprising the Wilmington division were ready on the instant to "set sari" on their cruise They will board the monitor Nantucket this morning, bright and early, and at 10 o clock will cast oft the ship s moorings from her berth at the Government wharf, foot of Princess street, and steam away for Southport, under convoy of the Wilmington. This steamer, by the way, is expected to take down a party of excursionists lrom Fayetteville. The Charlotte division of the Re serves, numbering 35 men, and the Newbern division, 45 men, were tele graphed last night, and are expected to join tbe Wilmington division, 55 strong, at bouthport Commander F. Winslow, of Newbern, arrived hist night, and will accompany the Wilmington division on the Nan tucket. A Bummer Necessity. Justice Crutchfieid yesterday morning decided the much mooted Sunday ice question, says the Richmond Times,. and has won the gratitude of hosts- of hot babies, sick people, and sweltering humanity of Richmond generally. The Justice had looked carefully and thoroughly into tbe legal side of the matter during the past several days. So when the cases of Edward Powell, An drew Brayfc,and Trice & Co., all of Whom were reported for having sold ice last Sunday, were brought before him yes terday morning. His Honor discharged the dealers, saying that in his opinion ice was a necessity in the summer time, and he would therefore discharge any and all persons brought to the Police Court for selling it.

We are of the opinion that some of yon are a' little slow to "catch on to a good thing" when its offered you not that you are indifferent, constitutionally tired, or anything of that sort ! Oh, no; sooner would we attribute it to climatic effects. Be that as it may, we are going to do something to-morrow that will arouse Wilmington from this state of "I nocuous Desuetude," and cause them to get a two-forty move in the direction of Davis & Zoeller's Dry Goods Empo rium. Mammoth Bargains for To-morrow. HOUSEHOLD RECIPES. Three Recipes That Are Bald to Be Ex cellent. SERVING TOMATOES. Now that tomatoes are becoming large and finer, browned tomatoes will be found:very appetizing. Take large round tomatoes and halve them; place them, the skin down, in a frying pan, to which a very small quantity ol butter and lard have been previously melted; sprinkle them with salt and pepper and dredge well with flour. Place the pan on the hot part ot the fire and let them brown thoroughly; then stir and brown again, and so on until they are quite done. They lose their acidity and their flavor is superior to stewed tomatoes. A de licious tomato salad is made by dipping rather small, even-sized tomatoes in scalding water, removing the outer skin immediately and placing them whole on ice. Then make a mayonnaise, and when the tomatoes are perfectly cold, place each one in a little bed of crisp let tuce leaves and serve. SCOLLOPED CALF'S HEAD. Put a layer of stals bread crumbs ui the bottom of a baking dish, then a layer of pieces of calf's head, then a sprinkling of parsley and dusting of salt and pep per. Now another layer oi bread crumbs. and so continue until the dish is full. Put a tablespoon ful of butter and a table spoonful of flour in a saucepan, and when melted add a half pint of stock left over from the soup. Stir until boiling, then add half a teaspoonful of salt, dash of pepper, and pour this over the scallop. Sprinkle with crumbs. Bake in a mod erate oven about twenty minutes and it is ready to serve. BAKED EGG PLANT. Peel and boil until soft, then drain thoroughly in a colander; put the egg plant into a- pan. Take one slice of bread for a small egg plant, grate and mash the crumbs with the egg plant. Add salt, a dish ot cayenne, a little all spice and cloves, butter and some chopped parsley. Chop one onion fine and fry-it slightly in a large tables poon- tul of butter, then put in the egg-plant mixture and let it cook for fifteen min utes. Just before taking it from the fire add the yolk of an egg and stir quickly. rut the mixture in a dish, spread it out, cover with bread crumbs, pour over the top a spoonful of melted butter and bake half an hour. HOW THE CLUBS STAND. N earing the Home Stretch With Boston, Baltimore and New York in the Lead. The following is tbe standing of the National Base Ball League (including games played' Friday), the first figures representing number of games won and the second figures the number of games lost in each case J I Boston, 50 and 31; Baltimore, 56 and 32; New York, 55 and 85: Cleveland, 50 and 37; Pittsburg, 49 and 42; Phila delphia, 44 and 41; Brooklyn, 46 and 44; Cincinnati, 41 and 48; Chicago, 41 and 48; St. Louis, 38 and 54; Louisville, 31 and 60; Washington, 27 and 64. . The percentages are as follows: Bos ton, 656; Baltimore, 636; New York. 611; Cleveland, 575; Pittsburg. 539; Philadel phia 518; Brooklyn, 511; Cincinnati, 461; Chicago, 455; St. Louis 413; Louisville, 866; Washington, 297 Tbe proper additions and deductions consequent upon the games played yes terday should be made in the foregoing figures. It will be seen, by comparison, that since last Sunday Boston has gained 13 points, and Baltimore 6 points, whiie New York has lost 3 points. This does not include games played yesterday, result of which will be found in the Telegraphic department of the Star. Eggs by the Pound. It has always been the custom to sell eggs by the dozen, but only custom can be given as a reason for the practice, mere is no justice in paying as mucn for 12 small eggs as tor 12 large ones, and the injustice would seem very clear if we had not become habituated to it Common sense is at last coming to the rescue, and a movement is making head way which proposes to substitute the pound for the dozen as the unit of meas urement. The new system will be fairer all round. Eight Plymouth Rock eggs will weigh a pound, while 10 or 12 Brown or White Leghorns are required to turn the scales, SCOTLAND NECK MOUNTED RIFLEMEN Scotland-Neck, N.

Canoe Race at Wrightsvllle. The canoe race at Wrightsvllle Friday was not altogether a success, a heavy rain interrupting the sport and prevent ing the fall programme being carried out. Five canoes started in the race, with the "Mardita" in the lead for about halt the length of the course, and "Buz r - vy and Bops" second. The latter, bow ever, ran on a snag, sustained some dam age and was forced to drop out. The canoes finished in the following order "Mic-mac," "Surprise," "Mardita,' "Wink." Y. M. C. A.

Mr -1 CAPE FEAR BAR. The Depth or Water Buffioiem for the U. B. Cruiser Raleigh , Notwithstand ing the Telegraphed Statement from Washington. The statement in the press dispatch from Washington, D. C, (published in the Star) that the U. S. cruiser Mont gomery had been ordered to Southport instead of the Raleigh, because the draft of the latter was greater than the depth of water on the bar at the mouth of the Cape Fear river, occasioned no little comment yesterday from persons who are well informed as to the condition of the river and harbor, and the depth of water on the bar. Capt. Jos. Price, harbor master, in a note to the Star, says: To correct the impression of the Naval authorities at Washington that tbe depth of water on our bar is not suffi ciet for an eighteen-feet ship, I will state that the Norwegian barque Anna went to sea on the 21st of May last drawing nineteen tect tour inches. 1 here was considerable sea on the bar at the time. T. Price, Harbor Master. To the above, the Star would add this : The soundings of the pilots show 21 feet 5 inches on the bar at high tide, and the channel is known o be the straightest on the Atlantic coast. If then, the cruiser Raleigh draws but 18 feet (as is understood), she could cross Cape Fear bar at high tide with three feet of water to spare. But is it a fact thet the order of the naval authorities to send the Raleigh to Southport was countermanded because "it was .found that her draft was greater than the depth of water over the bar?' That is what is stated in the Associted Press dispatch from Washington printed yesterday; but, on the 6th, it was tele graphed that the order sending the Ral eigh was countermanded, "owing to the necessity of completing the vessel;" and, again, on the 7th, it was telegraphed that the cruiser Montgomery would pro bably be sent "instead of using the Ra leigh, which is not yet completed." So, it is clear that the failure of the Raleigh to come is not because she can not cross our bar, but because the is "not completed," and the Government wishes to have her in commission for foreign service at the earliest possible moment. THE CLEVER S. A. L.: It Invites tbe "SHorneta" and "Q. C. O's' to Go to Wilmington. Charlotte Observer August . The Seaboard Air Line always does the clever thing. Its latest act along this line is tbe ex tending of an invitation to the Hornets' Nest Riflemen and Queen Citv Guards, of this city, to be its guests on a trip to and lrom Wilmington next week, in or der to be present at the grand naval re view expected to take place about Thurs day. The invitation came through Capt. K, S. Finch, local agent. A meeting of the ".Hornets " was held last night, and the invitation of the Sea board enthusiastically accepted. The Second Regiment band was included in the invitation, and will also be the Sea board's guests. "If one car is not suffi cient." read the General Manager's let ter, "as many as needed will be sup plied. The Queen City Guards have but re cently returned from the encampment and were not able to decide at once as to their acceptance of the invitation, but one thing sure, if there is any possible way for the men to get off, they will be right with the "Hornets" on the trip. The courtesy and general cleverness of the Seaboard was the theme in mili tary and civic circles last night, and the "Hornets" and Reserves, both in armory assembled, did not disband until three cheershad been given for "Sal" and her representative, Capt. "Kenny." First Excursion or Zab. Vanoe Division So. 1 TJ. B. K. of P. The Zeb. Vance Division of Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias will give its first excursion on Wednesday next, Au gust 15th, to Southport.

From the start the division has met with unexpected success, and their pur pose is to attend the encampment at Washington City, and in order to go in good shape part of the proceeds will be applied to tbis purpose. The committee of arrangements anticipate a splendid success, and their most sanguine expec tations they say will be realized if the Knights of Pythias of this city will do their duty, r The Kitchen Market. The city markets yesterday were sup plied abundantly with vegetables from truck farms near town and with fish from the Sounds.
