Jonn Hardy, colored, 99 years old

counts for his premature taking off.
The province 6f Quebec, Canada,
has found a way to encourage the
infant industries without a high pro
tective tariff. It gives 100 acres ot
land to every father of a family of
twelve living children.
There are some people who will
never let us be happy. Right on

tariff question here comes Professor
Spencer, who expresses the opinion
that the American Continent is
sinking.
Ex-Vice President Morton, whom
the Republicans are talking of run

The plant which generates the

018,505 are of foreign birth.
A thousand European workmen
recently took passage on one vessel
from New York for Europe, because
they thought they, could do better in
their old homes than in this country.

itself.
OPERA HOUSE.
Barlow, Dolaon and Powors' Minstrels
Tuesday Night
This will be the real minstrel event of
the season. Milt. G. Barlow, of the old
minstrel firm of Barlow, Wilson, Prim
rose & West, is the acknowledged
world's leader oi minstrels Barlow
Dolson & Powers have devoted their
lives to this style of entertainment,
their art is their creed, its furtherance is
their ambition, its proud destiny the
realized Mecca of their hopes and aspi
rations. This year is the epitome of
their career, their entertainment is new
from overture to the final fall of the cur
tain. This season being the first for the
new combination, many new features
have been added to this style of enter
tainment. It seems that novelty was ex
hausted, but they have apparently dis
covered a bottomless sea of minstrelsy
delights, from which they draw forth
new wonders for their patrons' delecta
tion; they have called forth beautiful
scenic effects to the aid of wit and
music; and one of the most sterling fea
tures of their performances is the charm
ing picture disclosed at the beginning,
when the curtain goes up on a perfect
bower of beauty, showing the company
almost imbedded in a lavish display of
satin.

HOUSEHOLD RECIPES.
FRIED SQUASH,
Cut a crook-neck squash in slices and
soak them in cold salted water one hour.
Wipe them dry, dip them In batter and
fry brown in a little butter, or dip them
in egg, roll in fine bread crumbs and fry
in boiling hot fat.
PICKLED CAULIFLOWER.
Very small and imperfect heads can
be used for this purpose. Take six
small ones and cut them up. Take also
one pint of small white onions and two
small red peppers. Dissolve a cup of
salt in one quart of hot water and pour
over the cauliflower, draining off the
next morning. Boil two quarts ot vine
gar with three tablespoon! uls of mustard
seed; add the vegetables and boil half an
hour.
SHRIMPS ON TOAST.
Put one pint of picked shrimps on
paper and dust them well with flour. Fry
them in a basket in a bath of boiling fat;
they will take two to three minutes.
Turn them out on a sieye before the fire,
sprinkle with Nepaul pepper, the grated
peel of a lemon, a grate of nutmeg, and,
lastly, a sprinkling of lemon juice. Lay
them rather thickly on nicely cut pieces
of fried bread, sprinkle over the top
some lobster coral and surround with a
border of chopped-green parsley. Serve
on a dish neatly papered.
PINEAPPLE PIE.
Prepare the pineapple, chopped fine
or grated, and otherwise made ready for
a compote. Have a shell of nice pastry
spread with a little apple sauce just
enough to glaze the crust. Fill the pie
plate with pineapple and orange, strips
of pastry across. Bake the pie about 45
minutes, in an oven quite' hot for the
first fifteen minutes and a very little
more moderate for the last half hour.
When the pie is removed from the oven
dredge it with powdered sugar and set
it back in the oven just long enough to
allow the sugar to melt. Serve ice cold.
GOOD FOR WILMINGTON.
The Hive: and Harbor Bill Safe Likewise
the Quarantine Appropriation.
The announcement that the River and
Harbor bill practically became a law
yesterday, is good news for Wilmington.
The annexed paragraph, which appeared
in the telegraphic department of the
Star yesterday, explains the matter:
"The River and Harbor bill is practi
cally a law, inasmuch as it cannot now
be returned to the House, in which it
originated, with a veto within the requi
site ten days, which expires to-morrow,
as the House of Representatives has
adjourned until Monday."
It will be recalled that an impression
has prcvailed'to some extent that the
President might veto the bill (though
Senator Ransom does not seem to have
thought so); but it seems that the bill is
now a law, whatever the President
may do
The Star rejoices that this is the
case, as it secures for the Cape Fear
river improvements a very large sum.
It is especially gratifying, too, that in
the conference report on the Sundry
Civil bill the item of $25,000 for a quar
antine station at Southport was retained.
It will be remembered that the House
objected to this, among other items, in
the Senate bill, and a conference was
ordered with the result mentioned
above.
This is a matter of vital importance to
Wilmington.

The season for watermelons is waning,

HAVING A BIO TIME.
The Naval Beeerves Keep Up a Lively
Hacket Afloat and Ashore Fat and
Baucy and Enjoying Hard Work
Scrubbing Decks and Working the
Gum.
Special Star Correspondence.
On Board Nantucket, Aug. 18.
Yesterday afternoon the boys who
voluntarily offered their services to hoist
ashes and wheel them to the dock
worked manfully and when through the
long and tiresome job were black as
negroes and tired out.
Last night Southport was alive again
and never before have we seen so many
ladies on the garrison since the cruise
began. Several ladies and gentlemen
visited the ship, as it is now easier to
board, and were shown around through
every department. Music, both vocal
and instrumental, was had on shore and
every Southport girl and Naval Reserve
seemed to have had a big time.
A gale came up about 12 o'clock and
rain poured down furiously, soaking a
number of sleeping beauties. The
officers called all hands to place side
awnings, which was heroically responded
to by two-thirds of each Division who
worked about two hours in a hard pour
ing rain. The boys, after drying their
clothes, spent a sleepful and quiet night
with the exception of a little life and
fun by the tin-pan brigade.
The night whistlers put in some pretty
good work until Hodges was yanked out
of bis hammock by Lieut. Morton. It
was found out for the first time since
the cruise began that the Brigadier
General was not the man who captained
all the rascality, therefore he stands vin
dicated. The seventh day of the North Caro
lina Naval Reserves' cruise opened un
der glowing auspices. The boys were
fresh, and ready to do number one ser
vice at the guns on board the Mont
gomery. They are fat, saucy, -and enjoy
hard work. The morning began by the
boys scrubbing the decks, as usual, and
the decks are now scoured and are clean,
presenting the appearance of a parlor.
It is the pride of every Naval Reserve
on board, and brings praise from the
officers to do their full duty. After an
elegant breakfast, the mess divisions re
ported on deck and were given a couple
of hours of liberty. At ten o'clock
all hands were called to fall in, and
embarked in their small boats for the
warship Montgomery, where the boys in
their usual merry way worked hard all
day manning the heavy guns and re
ceiving instructions from the officers of
the ship, which were entertaining and in
structive. It was enjoyed and listened
to attentively by all the divisions. Lieut.
Commander Morton is receiving praise
from the boys on eyery side for the kind
and clever way in which he gives his
commands to the seamen. He also
allows the boys as much liberty privi
leges and shore leaves as be can con
sistently. Lieut. Barnard is military-like in
every respect and shows the Naval
Academy training of several years ago.
The crews which manned the guns on
the Montgomery were selected as follows:
First division Mason, Veno, N. C.
White, McCracken, Stone, Bray, Fesper
man, Pickler.
Second division S. W. Merrell, Harry
Burr, Fred Burr, T. C. DeRosset, An
son King, John Robinson, James Wil
liams and James M. Ward.
Fourth division Hartsfield, Hill, Bau
gart, Richardson, Caraway, Salter, Lov
ick and Lane.
The following crew was selected to
race the crew from the Colfax and the
Montgomery this evening: Hill and
Daniel, of Newbern, Hodges, Williams,
Prempert, H. A. Burr and coxswain De
Rosset, of Wilmington, h is a strong
crew, and expects to win.
The boys wish to thank Paymaster
Latimer for a treat of twenty juicy, red
watermelons. Some of the boys who
thought they were coming on a pic-nic
have returned home; they can't stand
salt water and good eating. The gun
crews which went over to the Mont
gotnery this morning made surprisingly
good shots, striking the target, which
was an old wrecked ship, about six hun
dred yards away, the average score being
fifty per cent. 1
CRUISE NOTES.
Misses Laura Weeks, Gussie Rouark
and Emmie Dosher, and Mr. Owen D.
Price, gave reception to a party of Naval
Reserves at the residence of Mr. Weeks,
which was greatly enjoyed by those pre
sent. Skipper was on, the bridge of the
Montgomery early this morning with a
spy glass trying to see London.
Several young ladies came on board
the monitor to-day and one, while trying
to come down the gangway, was heroic
ly prevented from being dumped over
board by Shoeless Freeman, He de
serves a gold medal.
"The body" of Ed. McCracken, the
celebrated Nantucket contortionist,
caused much excitement by one of his
free exhibitions at the Garrison last
night. The girls are stuck on the wiry
weasel.
Stone, of Charlotte, is a daisy, sure.
Friday night he went ashore to see "his
girl," and after sitting lor some time in
silence, he took his large black silk neck
kerchief and stroking her lily white
hands, as a mother plays with her child,
he finally stammered out : "You-you are
awfully swe-seet." No one was able to
learn what reply the young lady made,
but it is presumed that it was not very
favorable, tor he did not accompany her
home, but instead, went with another
lady.
The tin-pan brigade officers are
watched so closely that they can't have
a decent drill with music.
The prowlers, which have been men
tioned before, under orders from
Hodges did (their work quietly and
quickly last night, and there was no
reason why they didn't take the raisins.
Hankins and Wescott worked two
hours because they had a little dispute
over the ownership of a pretty, new,
clean hat. Misery loves company, and
now they are working hard for their fan.
Hollowell says Uncle Premus Prem
pert's breakfast jokes are old, but they
still bring tears to his eyes.
While Ward was out walking with his
girl last night an accident happened.
She wore a hat pin with a little fancy
arrangement at the end which he took
for a spider and struck it six times, dis
arranging her hair and breaking her new
hat before she could explain. Wasn't
he a Jonah ? The boys are teasing him
to death. The girl didn't know what he
meant until she had run about twelve
yards.
Monkey-faced Howard visited a young
lady ashore by the name ol Pepper. He
sat and talked with her about a hall
hour, addressing her as Miss Salt before
he found out his mistake. He is not
quite so fresh after his brining.
There will be a race on Monday after
noon between the gigs of the Montgom
ery, Colfax and Nantucket.
. The tin-pan brigade is "raisin" cain."
Caterer Hinton is generally the loser.
"Tobe," the Newbern muical phe
nomena, gave a concert ori Garrison
Green last night, and this morning sev
eral more shekels jingle in his clothes.
Hankins, Ward and Howard, being
ashore on leave of absence, had the
pleasure of meeting some very pretty
young ladies. A promenade of course
followed, which wound up in a flower
raid on several front-yards, hut the old
folks' eyes were open and the couples
had to make themselves scarce.
Ward, while tryu.g to catch crabs with
a chain hook sitting on hawsers, was
dropped overboard in his best suit of
clothes, and to satisfy his wishes a nice
large crab was found in his hammock
long before he went to sleep.
Freeman has completely worn out the
bottom of his "shoes" going up aml
down to the refreshment room. He
had only one pair, so he has to wear
nature's own.
Shankhigh Hankfns lost his comb and
brush for the first time, and his hair was
draped in crape, each hair standing out
in the procession.
Did anybody get wet last night? No;
but they were baptised head, ears and
all. In the scuffle to secure dry places
Fred Burr fell through one of the dead
lights on Bob Bray, who was
sleeping below. Bob thought the pow
der magazine had exploded and could
belound on deck in four and a half
seconds, all aglow with fright.
. Frank Newsome reported for duty
yesterday, his uniform being the only
clean suit aboard. So he was properly
given the first degree by the tin-pan
brigade, each m ember enjoying the
pleasure of seeing Frank swab out the
deadlight, and smear his beautiful snow
white suit.
Joe Hinton, while sleeping peacefully
on deck, was tied fast to his cot and his
face blacked. The boys say they wanted
him to take one more good bath. Joe
was a daisy.
Albert Prempert, known as "George
Howling," has not recovered from bis
sad misfortune yet; he is still grieving
about that letter that he sent to sea.
Billy Salter, the ugliest clerk in the
magnificent establishment of John Dunn,
Newbern, general confectioner, loves to
have his name in the paper.
Those crazy fellows in the Fourth di

Graceful Harris Lane, the son of that
genial gentleman, Sheriff Lane, of Craven
county, was terribly distressed when he
came out of the ash-pit yesterday, for
fear that his best girl would not know
him when he gets back home for he
hasn't washed his face since he has been
on board, as he is afraid the salt-water
will hurt his complexion.
Jack Scott, the Clever second engineer,
is far ahead of the other Reserves in
his mash-making schemes, which takes
with the girls. There being no stables in
the town, Scott, in his usual genial way,
obtained a wheel-ban ow from the Nan
tucket's officers and treated his "best"
with what the boys term a moonlight
street ride, with "Jack" at the throttle.
Bangert, of Newbern, smokes bis pipe

when the home people see him he will
be taken for "Squib Moore," the "mite"
of the Fourth.
Those affectionate and staid cousins,
Dan and Bert Roberts, have fallen in
love with one of the beautiful lilies re
siding at this delightful quiet summer
home, 'Tis amusing to watch these
cousinly rivals fighting, each to distance
the other in their little "affairs decour."
Lt. Roberts, the handsome and grace
ful Lieutenant in command of the New
bern division, is the hero of the bat
talion officers with the ladies; he is
"rushed" to death, and the heart of that
beautiful "girl he left behind him" in the
"City of Elms" has heed indeed to be
sad.
Handsome Mason, of the First Divi
sion, will be presented with a copper
plated marline spike for being the ugliest
man on earth. His lace would stop an
electric car that is three minutes behind
time.
Chief Engineer Furlong and his able
corps of assistants Pearsall and Scott
have received the enconiums of every
one. The dignity of the machinists of
Wilmington is upheld by these gentle

Replying to your telegram: The
Montgomery is ordered to Wilmington
for three days, provided depth of water
in the river will permit, without risk.
