Senator Piatt takes pleasure in an
nouncing that there is no bar in the
Senate restaurant. The Senators
don't need any bar. They drink
only "cold tea" and they take it out
of the bottle.
Hon. Levi P. Morton, whom the
Republicans talk of nominating for
Governor of New York, is now in
Europe, where he has had two of his
toes amputated. Think of a man 70
years old and minus two toes run
ning for anything.
Alleghany county, Pa., in which
the city of Pittsburg, with its numer
ous highly protected industries, is
located, was supposed to contain a
good many wealthy people, but ac
cording to the statement of the
commissioners there are not 200 per
sons in the county, including the
city, who have incomes amounting
to over $4,000 a year, and there is
not an extraordinarily large number
of newspaper men there, either.
The mass of men who engage in
strikes are perhaps as much entitled
to sympathy as reproach, for the ma
jority of them are duped by their
leaders. The Slavs who were en
gaged in the strikes in the Pennsyl
vania coal region say their leaders
deceived them and kept the strike up
by false representations and prom
ises. For a week or mortTafter the
bottom fell out of the Debs strike, he
kept issuing bulletins assuring the
strikers that victory was certain.
Governor McKinley rises to ex
claim that "proper protection must
be restored to every industry that
suffers from this (the Wilson tariff)
legislation." Very well. Let us see
what industries suffer and then find
out what "proper protection" is, and
then we can talk about it. The in
dications are that the industry that
will suffer,most is the industry of the
Republican high tariff politician
The probabilities are that he will
have to shut up shop and go out of
business.
Recently a shaft of a coal mine in
China which had not been worked in
100 years was opened and revealed
the bodies of 170 men who had died
from "choke-damp," as the miners
call it, or carbonic acid, while im
prisoned in the mine by disaster
which closed up the shaft. The
bodies seemed to be in a state of per
fect preservation, and looked as if
they had just died, but on the at
tempt to remove them for burial they
crumbled away and left nothing but
a little dust and some remnants of
clothing. This scared the Chinamen
who never saw any thing like that
before, and they got out of the shaft
as fast as they could climb and left
the ashes and lots of coal there.

A somewhat remarkable outcome
of the Japanese-Chinese racket in

A writer in the New York Post,

Corea has three telegraph lines but

WILMINGTON,
CONSULAR BILLS OF HEALTH.
Vessels from Foreign Ports Must Bring
Certified Bills of Health.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
sent circulars to the Collectors of Cus
toms concerning consular bills of health
which contain matter of interest to the
ship-owners as well as to the people of
the different ports.
Every vessel arriving from a foreign
port is required by law to present to the
custom house officer a consular bill of
health from the port whence she sailed,
and any failure to procure the necessary
document, through negligence or other
wise, will cause considerable inconveni
ence and expense.
X he circular issued by the bureau ol
navigation directs collectors of ports to
notify the Secretary of the Treasury
promptly by telegraph of the arrival in
port of any vessel from a foreign port
without the consular bill of health pre
scribed by the act of February 15th,
1893. This notification most stale the
port of clearance of the vessel and any
pons of call, with the dates of each,
number and class of passengers, general
nature of cargo, and the present sani
tary condition of the vessel reported
by the quarantine or health authorities
of the port entered. The collector will
thereupon be instructed by the depart
ment as to the entry of the vessel.
The collector is also instructed to no
tify the United States attorney of his
district of the violation of iaw, and to
report thereafter to the department the
master s reasons for failure to produce
the required bill of health, giving his
judgment of their validity, and any
mitigating circumstances.
New Crop Cotton.

N. C., weight 810 pounds, and graded
good low-middling. It was sampled and
placed on the floor of the Produce Ex
change, but had not been sold up to the
clcsc of business yesterday.
The second bale was received by
Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Sun, from Mr
E. Bethea. of Latta, S. C.
Last year, the first bales ot the season

THE BEST PROTECTION.
How to Mako a House Burglar-froor
Cheap, (Jonvenient and JBffietive.
The Star can testify to the efficacy
of the plan stated below by a corre
spondent of a Southern paper, one of its
staff having seen its valur: practically
illustrated. It is by no means certain.
however, that the "fice" is the best dog
for the purpose, as it has a born pro
pensity for barking on very slight provo
cation, and ior this reason might create
numerous false alarms. There is no sort
of doubt, though, that a dog kept in the
house at night, if he understands his
business, is the best possible protection
against thieves. It is the best burglar-
alarm ever invented. But here is what
the correspondent says :
Many years ago this writer heard the
confession of a reformed burglar, in
which he stated that the thing most
dreaded by those of his trade was a dog
in the house. Struck by the force of this,
the writer has always had a dog inside
the house at night, and any one may
readily convince himsell of its efficiency
by making the trial. For this purpose a
small dog on the "Fice" order is best.
and it is easily trained to be as cleanly
and orderly in the house as any child. If
kept in the yard it can easily be gotten
rid of, but inside the premises, and with
ail the inside doors left open, it is not
possible for any stranger to gain admis
sion without alarming the dog, and at
the first sound of its voice the would-be
burglar must see that it is a hopeless
case.
This infallable safeguard is within
reach of every one, it Costs very little
either in money or care and for those
who are located in the suburban regions
it is especially desirable, and more
effective than any watchman. But, say
some, perhaps, "We don t like dogs; well,
then you prefer the burglar, you take
your choice, and you lose your money.
The Orphan's Excursion.
The orphans from the Odd Fellow's
home at Goldsboro, who have been in
the city since Monday, returned yester
day delighted with their visit. Besides
the pleasure given to the children the
money realized for the Home by the ex
cursion down the river, etc., amounts to
sixty dollars.

The people of our city who have -been

astonished to find the evidence of their

SIXTH CONG. DISTRICT.
Democratic Convention at Lumber ton An
Immense feathering of Delegate and
Others Present Intense Excitement but
the lUtmcst Good Feeling-Organisation
Forfected and Ballo Ing Begun Bellamy
in the Lead
Special Star Telegram.
Lumberton, Aug. 22.
9.15 A. M. Hardly a fourth of the del
egates are yet here, but it seems now
that for all practical Dumoses Adams
may as well be eliminated from the con
test, leaving the battle royal to Bellamy,
Lockhart, LeGrand and McNeill.
Telegrams from Mecklenburg, received
late last night, assure Bellamy 25 votes
from that county on first ballot. The
general impression here is that it will be
a prolonged contest; but k is not impro
bable that Mecklenburg may come in
with her avalanche of votes and settle
the nomination at any moment after a
dczen or two ballots have been taken,
11.00 a. m The Karolina Senttal
specials from Wilmington and Charlotte
are just in, bringing a large number of
people. A great crowd is here, esti
mated at 800 strangers in town. There
is intense excitement on the result and
much interest, but the utmost good
feeling exists among friends of rival
candidates, with the exception of some
friction between LeGrand and McNeill
men. It is claimed that Pender will be
allowed three additional votes and Rich
mond two. on account of townships
thrown out at the last election. ,The
mpression is gaining that it will be a
protracted fight ior the nomination. The
Convention meets at noon.
12 30 P. m. The convention was
called to order at 12 o'clock sharp. The
Opera House is jammed and a large
crowd is outside. N. A. McLean is tem
porary chairman. The immense crowd
is causing much confusion and greatly
delaying business. There is not likely
to be any balloting for two hours or
more.
The Committee on Permanent Organ
ization was appointed at 12.20 p. m., and
the convention adjourned until 2 p. m.
to receive reports. Impossible to fore
cast the result for a candidate yet, but
Bellamy will have considerable lead on
the first ballot and his friends confi
dently expect increased votes on subse
quent ballots.
4.25 p. m. The Committee on Cre
dentials has just reported. The report
was adopted. W. G. Burkhead is per
manent chairman. It will probably be
two hours before the balloting for can
didates begins.
A resolution endorsing Osborn for
the U. S. Senate was laid on the table.
Nomination of candidates was ordered.
Dr. McNeill, of Brunswick, nominated
Frank McNeill, of Richmond connty;
C. W. Tillet, of Mecklenburg, nominated
J. T. LeGrand; E. T. Candler, of Meck
lenburg, nominated H. B. Adams; Mai.
P. F. Duffy presented the name of J no.
D. Bellamy, Jr., in a fine speech, which
created great enthusiasm; T. J. Arm
strong, of Pender, nominated Lockhart,
of Anson. Mr. O. F. Campbell, of Rich
mond, seconded the nomination of
Legrand; Dr. Lucas, of Pender, seconded
the nomination of Bellamy; G. B. Pat

The modern soap.
Heyer Allow this Soap to Soak in Water.
"Coal Oil Johnny's" Petroleum
Soap is made by a novel process
which is patented. It is white and
transparent. It contains no soda, re
sin, or tallow. Never boiled.
This Soap contains Vaseline and
about 10 per cent, of glycerine, and
has, also, all the improvements
known to science.
The Petroleum from which this
Soap is made is deoderized, but con
tains all the virtues of crude oil.
For complexion, any kind of skin
disease, to'let, laundry, bath, stable,
dishwashing, iron workers, miners,
painters and printers. Removes
grease from clothing, printer's ink
from hands. Railroad men never
used its equal.
This Soap becomes more transparent with age, as it
has no filler to make weight. It will not shrink, warp
or discolor. For sale by
WORTH & WORTH.
