Y., attributed to an invasion of fleas which is making the burgers hustle. The Philadelphia Record- has found a good name for the Louisiana sugar planters who decided to flop over into the Republican party. It calls them the "bounty jumpers" of poli tics. , The mystery as to how folks got on this earth, has been solved by a St. Louis man who says the first peo ple on this earth were switched off from the planet Mars, and couldn't get back. Their friends up there have been hunting them ever since they got lost. This may account for these supposed signal lights that have lately been discovered on Mars. If the "contingency" should arise Hon. Chauncey M. Depew would consent to run as the Republican candidate for Governor of New York. If the "contingency" should arise the Hon. Benjamin Harrison would con sent to run as the Republican candi date for President Of the United States. The contingency in both cases is if they should be able to command votes enough to secure the nomination. But in that case com manding votes enough to be elected Would be a much more difficult mat ter. The St. Louis Republic has been giving the opinions of several scien tists as to what is to become of the last man. According to some he is to be drowned, others frozen into a solid chunk, others burned up by the fires of the sun into which the earth will drop, while others say that be ginning with the year 3,000, we will begin to shrival up and peg out with almost electric rapidity. We haven't studied up much on this thing, but from the lay out here presented, we don't want to be any of the last man. We are under obligations to Mr. Richard H. Edmonds, editor of the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record, for a very valuable pamphlet, entitled "Facts About the South," in which he furnishes a vast amount of in formation as to the progress, re sources and attractions of the South for the investor of capital and the home-seeker. Mr. Edmonds , by the way, is doing an intelligent and great work for the South. He is not a boomer, buta gatherer and presenter of solid facts and figures. The Chinese authorities promised the American Consul at Shanghai not to treat cruelly those two sus pected Japanese spies who were turned over to them. They didn't treat them cruelly; they just chopped their heads off. When the Chinese want to treat anybody cruelly they only disembowel him, run hot irons through him, cut him up In pieces and take their time about it so he may have the full benefit and note the methods of operation. But when they want to deal kindly and gently they just chop the head off. A Hungarian barber who wagered that he could shave fifteen men in a running railroad car in twenty-nine minutes, without cutting a man, won his money and shaved three more men within the time. Some barber in this country might do that, but we would advise him to pick out men with McKinley cheeks. An Eastern paper asks what is to be "the future of wool" under the new tariff. The future of wool is to be woven, and worn by a good many people who couldn't afford to wear it under the McKinley tariff. Some artist has presented the Sec retary of the Treasury with a new design for a five-dollar bill, with "wings on it." We don't like that. The few five-dollar bills that come our way fly too fast now. Seventeen transatlantic cables have been laid. Of these ten have worn out, leaving seven in use. The ten worn ont represent $30,000,000 lying on the floor of the ocean. Senator Jones may become a boss Populist, but he can never become President. He was born in England. NEW ADVEBTI8BMENT6.

Estimates of the Crop It May Be 10,000,000 Bales, bat Is More Likely to Be Much Lie 88. The factors expect to do a larger busi ness this year than formerly, says the Augusta Chronicle, and are sanguine that last year's receipts will be over reached if the present crop prospects bold out. And unless some unforeseen disaster occurs before the crop is gath ered, it will exceed last year's crop by a million or a million and a half bales. These are the figures of conservative cotton men who have studied the situa tion, and who, for years, have made a business of studying the crop. They believe the outlook is a great deal better than at this time last year; but disagree with the somewhat exaggerated reports that have been sent out from various points in the South. One report which gained currency through the press it was given out by some cotton firm placed the estimate of this year's yield at 10,000 bales. This, conservative cotton men believe to be extravagant, Last year's yield reached seven and a half million bales, and it was not such a bad crop. This year the best estimates are that the total yield in bales will be between eight and nine million bales. Of course there is a great deal of un certainty attached to any estimate that might be made of the coming crop. While it is practically made, a storm or an early frost might destroy at least half a million bales. Said a prominent cotton factor yester day: "No cotton man, no matter how well posted, can talk with certainty about the cotton outlook. The possi bility and probability of rains and early frost furnish so many wide opportunities for a change in the situation that it will be several weeks before anything can be said with definiteness. "The greatest danger which we have to fear is an early frost. Such a cal amity might cut off the crop to the ex tent of a half a million. bales; theiefore in speaking of it, it is necessary to allow a wide margin for such occurrences. "It is just simply guess work to talk about what the crop will be. We can only tell what it is now. Speaking from the present outlook, the future wdl.be good." I expect a crop of between eight and nine million bales." THE DIPHTHERIA CURE. Farther Proof of the Efficacy of tha New Diphtheria Cure. In advance of other Southern papers, the Star gave, s short time since, some interesting facts concerning the new diphtheria cure. Here is something later which confirms previous claims as to the success of the remedy : Berlin, Sept. 9. -The diphtheria cur v8TDr. Behring, of Berlin, a dis ciple ot Professor. Koch, has beetf ex ploited at the Budapest Medical Con gress and was indorsed by many of the delegates present, including Professors Heubner, of Berlin, and Roux. of Paris. Professor Roux said he had applied the remedy at the Children's Hospital, in which, up to last year, 60 per cent, ot the cases of diphtheria ended fatally. This year, he added, he had inoculated over 400 children with the serrm and the mortality sank from 60 to 15 per cent. After a few injections the malady changes almost instantly to lever and then soon disappears. Lunar Eclipse. The journalistic astronomers inform us that there will be a partial eclipse of the moon next Friday, September 14th, which will be visible at Charleston. The moon will enter the earth's shadow Fri day night at 9.a5 o'clock, the middle of the eclipse wifl be at 10.31 o'clock and the moon will leave the earth's shadow at 11,27 o'clock. The magnitude of the eclipse will be a trifle less than one fourth of the moon's diameter on the northern limb. The point of the first contact with the shadow wilt be the north point of the moon's limb. Lindsay Laughs. ' A correspondent of the Raleigh News and Observer reports fudge Russell as saving, while iu Washington recently, that the "Republicans and Populists offered him the nomination for Con gress but he did not want it. The Dem ocrats, said he. will elect every nominee. I doubt whether Settle wiil be re elected. His vote on the silver question will make him too big a pill for the Popu lists to swallow. He laughed at the pre diction in the Post that Ransom and Jarvis would be defeated by fusionists." COTTON FACTS AND FIGURED Receipts of cotton here yesterday, 839 bales; same day last year, 151.

Mr. Thomas D. Meares, Chairman of the Welcome Week Executive Commit tee, requests the business men and citi zens generally who favor a Welcome Week this season to meet at the City Hall next Friday night at 8.15 o'clock, when the initiatory steps will be taken for an energetic movement all along the line. The Star has shown conclusively that the business men of Wilmington not only desire, but are determined, to have a celebration that will eclipse all pre vious ones. Last year the trade outlook was very gloomy, yet we had a creditable display, especially when the inclement weather is considered. This year, there is a buoyancy in com mercial circles that has not been felt for years. Splendid crops gladden the hearts of the farmers, and all indications point to a marked revival of business throughout the South. Go to the meeting next Friday night. and let the people see that there is life in Wilmington yet. SENATOR JARVIS Addressed the Democratic Voters Of Fender at Burgaw Yesterday-Was in the City Jjast Night Will Leave for Raleigh This Morning. Senator Thos. J. Jarvis reached the city last night from Burgaw, where he spoke to about five hundred of Pender county's faithful Democrats. The court house was filled and the aisles crowded with people standing. He began hit speech at 2 p. m. by touching on State politics, showing the chances for overwhelming success if the Democrats would do their full duty. He then reviewed National politics, say ing the party had literally carried out every pledge both the financial and the economical sledge having saved over twenty million dollars on pensions alone. The tariff bill, he said, was the best that could be had, and in every way the party leaders had stuck close to the platform. He favored tariff reform outright, and gave his views favoring bimetalism. He spoke yesterday for about two hours and a quarter. His address was able and was listened to attentively throughout. The meeting was very en thusiastic. Many old Democrats called to see Senator Jarvis last night at The Orton and gave him a hearty hand-shake. He will leave this morning for Raleigh. Knocked Down by a Street Car and Severely Hurt. A gentleman from Robeson county (whose name is .withheld by his own request) was knocked down and severely hurt by a street car, corner of Front and Market streets, yesterday morning about 9 o'clock. He was hurrying to the steamer Wilmington, lying at the foot of Market street, to take the boat for Southport and says that he did not hear or see the car until it was within two feet ot him. He endeavored to get out of the way of the car but was struck and knocked down, sustaining a severe scalp wound. Drs. Shepard and Russell dressed the wound and the injured man returned to The Orton, where he re mained until last evening, when he left by train on the Carolina Central railroad for his home. Speaking at Southport The Democratic nominee for Con gress, Hon. Jas. A. Lockhart, addressed a crowd of Brunswick county's voters yesterday, at Southport. He was intro duced by Mr. Geo. H. Bellamy and made an impressive and winning speech. He was followed with speeches by Mr. Sol. C. Weill and Mr. J. I. Meares of this city. The speeches were heartily ap plauded. BLADEN COUNTY. Mr, 8.

What a Leading Eduoator Think of the American Enoyolopasdic Dictionary, The high standing of Cant. Washing ton Catlett, Principal of the Cape Fear Academy, both as a scholar and an edu cator, gives a real valne to the annexed testimonial: Wilmington, April 11, 1894. Mr. W. H. Bernard: Dear Sir: I have examined very carefully the 1st Part of the American Uncyclopaedic Dictionary. I am really surprised at the excellence of the work, both lor its intrinsic merit and its price. I have made a parallel comparison with Webster's Unabridged; and with the Century, published also in parts, costing me $2.50 per volume: or. complete. $60. I find the American Encyclopaedic Dictionary superior in many respects to Webster's Unabridged-, ar.ri for genera purposes equal to the Century. The type is distinct and full, the illus trations numerous, the derivation of words scholarly and accurate, the defini tions exceedingly complete and verified by many extracts from lcidin modern authors, the encyclopaedic information very full, the diacritical marks plain, wini yiumincni equivalents at oottom OI each page. 1 unhesitatingly enrlorsi: the First Part of this Dictionary as meeting the require ments of the scholar and filling the wants of the general reader and man ot busi ness needing general information in a compact and reliable presentation. No one need fear that his money will be misspent, who invests in this work. Yours truly, Washington Catlett. tribute of respect. 17 cent ven TV t, f,-: A7 . flt I regrets and deplores the death of J.
