Corn is now being shipped West from the South. Last week 50,000 bushels were sold at Decatur, Ala,, for shipment to Illinois. This is revers ing fhe order; for heretofore the South has been buying corn from the West. Mrs. Shaw, the whistler, says half an hour's whistling after each meal will cure dyspesia. That may do for people who live on wind, as she does. But the sure-enough dyspeptic couldn't get up a halt-hour whistle to save his life. Showing one of the. happy effects ot the establishment of sterilized milk stations in portions of New York City by Hon. Isador Straus, it is said that the mortality among children in those sections of the city has decreased 10 per cent. In the town of Dexter, Mo., boys under seventeen years of age caught on the streets after 9 o'clock p. m. ,are run in, into the calaboose, and made to contribute $5 to the tolwn treasury. This is dividing the penalty, as the boy goes to the jug and his pa pays the fine. A Boston cornologlst says that ill-fitting shoes are not nearly as much responsible for corns as ill fitting and under-sized stockings and socks. Jerry Simpson never spent much time cultivating or nursing corns, although as a corn grower he claims to be a success. Governor McKinley isn't alto- eether reliable in the statements he makes in his speeches, but he enunciated a rock-bottom truth the other day when he told the Populists in Kansas that the Republican or Democratic party would rule in this country, and that they had better scamper into one or the other of these parties. McKinley is making the record on Messrs. Reed, Harrison and other Republican aspirants for the Presi dency, as a speech maker. The other day in Kansas he made thirteen speeches in fourteen hours. As speeches they were not much but as record breakers they will do. But rhn it must be remembered that Kansas is a windy State. The daughter of a preacher in an Illinois town fumbling around among some old papers in a closet, the other day, found a package which she took to her father. It contained $3,000 in bank notes, and a paper directing that the money be divided amongst the heirs of the writer, who died eighteen years ago. The heirs will not remain hidden as long as that package was.

Central Yeaterday Near Penaaoola and Moving Northeast-Will Cause Danger ous Galea on the South Atlantic Coast A Cold Wave Coming, from the North west. Storm signals were displayed here Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock upon ad vices from the Chief of the Weather Bureau, Washington, D. C . that a hurri cane from the West Indies was ap proaching the East Gulf. The wind ve locity at Port Eads was sixty miles an hour. Yesterday at 4.40 p. m. a dispatch to the Weather Bureau station here re ported the storm as central near Pensa cola, Fla.,at noon, with a wind of sixty four miles an hour, from the northeast; barometer 29.34 inches and falling rapidly. The dispatch added "This storm wili cause dangerous gales on the South Atlantic coast south of Norfolk. Tuesday and no vessel should leave port. It is dangerous for vessels to leave any Atlantic port sailing South.' The Bureau synopsis ot the weather issued yesterday morning from the Wil mington station said: "A very influential high area is mov ing in from the West, accompanied by a tolerably severe cold wave, temperature of 20 degrees being reported as tar South as Nebraska. The indications now seem to be for frost In this vicinity after the weather clears after this storm passes the middle or latter part of this week. Heavy rain has fallen in Ala bama and in South Dakota, with light showers in other sections." Mr. Graham, weather observer, last night furnished the following informa tion concerning the Gulf storm: "The Gulf storm seems to be central this evening on the northwestern coast of Florida, moving steadily northeast. The present indications are that it will pass in over Georgia and the Carolinas, causing very heavy rains with high winds and tides on the whole Atlantic coast from Jacksonville north. It will probably be felt to a greater or less ex tent in this vicinity to-morrow, but just when the centre of the storm will reach us cannot now be said. It will not be safe for vessels to leave port in any di rection. "The wires are all down out of Pen sacola and Port Eads, so that it is not possible to see bow the storm is at those places, but this fact alone is an indica tion of its severity." A dispatch last night at 11 o'clock. from the Chief of the Weather Bureau, Washington, D. C, reported that the storm was apparently central east oi Pensacola, Fla., near the coast, and moving north of east. The conditions are threatening for the South Atlantic coast. Associated Charities.

The ladies of the different con gregations interested in the work have labored assiduously during the year among the poor and have been largely instrumental in giving proper direction to the work of the Association. AMUSEMENTS. "Jane" To-night st the Opera House 'The Silver King" Thursday Night. The following complimentary notice is from the Greensboro (N. C.) Daily Record of October 4th, about "Jane" which comes to the Opera House this evening : The comedy "Jane" rendered at Bogart Hall last night kept the audi ence continually in a roar. The piece abounds in absurd situations and is full of fun from beginning to end. The company is an excellent one and was greeted by a full house, as it deserved. THE SILVER KING. The drawing powers of "The Silver King," which on next Thursday evening, the 11th, comes to the Opera House, are simply wonderful, considering that this is the tenth year of the play, and coup ling this fact with the knowledge that the public is capricious and fond of turn ing its back on all things old, while con tinually clamoring for something new and diverting. The pathetic tale ol the drama, told in Henry Arthur Jones' cleverest vein, has lost none of its ap pealing element. Manager Carl A. Haswin has staged the play in a more elaborate manner than ever before and engaged a company equally as strong as any of its predecessors, OTHER ATTRACTIONS. Mr. James K. Collier, business man ager of the Opera House, says the public may rely upon exceptionally fine per formances this season. Some of the at tractions will be Lillian Lewis, Otis Skin ner, Richard Mansfield, Robert Down ing, Mrs. J . B.

Talking About the Mstoh-Difierenoe of Opinion Light -weight Champion Jack MeAullfiVs Idea. The Herald says of the expected fight between Corbett and Fitzsimmons . Old and young sporting men yesterday continued to discuss the action of Cor bett in covering Fitzsimmons' money. posted with the Herald, and expressed the hope that the match will be made without further wrangling. Many good judges said they did not see how Cor bett could lose, while others who know Fitzsimmons well were of the opinion that "Lanky Bob" would make a game and clever fight, and had a great chance of knocking the champion out. Among those who believe that "Fitz" will deleat Corbett is Jack McAuliffe, the light weight champion. "it tney tight, said McAuliffe. "and I am afraid they won't, I will have a good bet down on 'Fitz,' if I can get 10 to 7 for my money. 'Fitz' is a dangerous fellow, being just as clever as Corbett. and I believe that he can hit a much harder blow. Corbett will probably try to rush 'Bob' at the start, bu. alter he lands a couple of good blows the cham pion will keep away. Corbett has fre quently said that if he could not win a fight he always fights for a draw, and got it. That's exactly what he will try to do with 'Fitz' but the latter may suc ceed in landing a knockout blow 'It will be a great fight, and I would not miss it for a fortune. But, I tell you candidly, I don't think Corbett wants to fight. I speak from my knowledge of the man, and because of something that happened a few years ago. At the time I speak of, Otto Flotto was managing Corbett, and he thought money could be made by arranging a limited bout be tween James J. and Fitzsimmons. He talked to 'Fitz' about it, and be accepted. L-orbett was in New York at the time, if I remember correctly, and Flotto wired him of 'Fitz's' acceptance. Jim's answer came a, once, and was Not on your life.' Corbett has never relished the idea ot meeting Fitzsimmons. He believes the lanky fellow a great fighter, and 'that's the rea son I have my misgivings about the match. Corbett's plan ol putting the fight off until July adds to this impres sion. It is terribly, hot in New Orleans then, and but few people would care to take the trip. And I hardly think the Olympic Club will care to guarantee a purse ot 85,000 to fight for in that month. If Cor.ett wants to really right Fits' he should agree to meet him in February, when he knows the contest can surely take place." Richard K. Fox received a telegram from London yesterday, advising him that the Bollingbroke Club ot that city. would give a purse ot 15,000 for the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight. PATRONIZE HOME MERCHANTS. Don't Do Your Shopping in the Northern Cities Buy at Home. Here are some views that are so wisely expressed by the Savannah Nrais and that apply so well to Wilmington, that the Star takes pleasure in repro ducing them: The Morning . News has frequently called attention to and condemned the custom, which is altogether too common in this city, of purchasing clothing in New York instead of at home. Men send to New York for suits of clothes, hats and shoes, when they could get just as good articles at home for about the same price, and many women go to New York in the fall almost wholly for the purpose of shopping. It is true they have larger and more varied stocks to select from in New York, but, after all, in almost everything they could be about as well suited at home, and, besides, if they patronized home merchants to a greater extent, they would enable the home merchants to carry larger stocks and a higher grade of goods. In men s clothing little or nothing is to be gained by sending to New York In .V i -. . Lompany's refusal the Southern tained here, and there are tailors here who do first-class work. We ought to have a little more home pride about this matter. Home mer chants and working people Ought to be sustained, borne ol the very people who send to New York for their clothes are wholly dependent upon home people for a living. Let us keep as much money as we can at home. Sustain home retail dealers and working people. They help to sus tain the city by the payment of taxes, and they ought to be given every possi ble encouragement. Sending to New York for what we can buy at home is a very bad practice and ought to be aban doned. CITY BUSINESS FEATURES. The store of Messrs. Johnson & Fore will not open until 10 o'clock a. m. to-day, when their Fall opening of mil linery and dress goods begins. The store will remain open until 9 o'clock p. m. They will be glad to see their friends and the public generally, gentle men as well as ladies. Magistrate's Court. Joe Hill, Arthur White," Andrew Latimer, and "Son" Carter, (colored) sneak thieves, who stole $300 from the safe of Mr. W. S. O'B. Robinson about ten days ago, were arraigned before Justice Bunting yesterday, on the charge of larceny. Carter was dis charged, and the others were sent to jail in default of $300 bail each. The Driving Club. The Gentlemen's Driving Club met last night at the court room. The meeting was called to order by R. B. Clowe. T. W. Clawson was requested to act as secretary. The reading of the minutes of the previous meeting was dis pensed with. The committee on soliciting subscrip tions and securing location for grounds reported progress. On motion of W. A. Whiting, the committees were continued and request ed to report at a meeting to be neld Thursday night at 8 o'clock. Naval Reserves. At a meeting of the Wilmington Di vision of the Naval Reserves last night it was decided to buy new uniforms, which will be exceedingly handsome and entirely different from those worn now. A letter was read from the Newbern Division, thanking the Wilmington boys for their kind treatment after the cruise was over, also a letter from Lieutenant F. L. Tyler, ol the United States Navy, high in praise of the kind treatment he had received during the cruise and the efficiency of the North Carolina Re serves. It was received with three cheers and a tiger. WHOLE NO. 8,548 FROM WASHINGTON. A Republican Sugar Boomerang Hansom's Campaign Work. The Washington correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier writes as follows: The; Republicans are very much dis appointed that the price of sugar has not advanced since the passage oi the new tariff law. They counted on a con siderable rise in price and thought it would be possible to scatter broadcast throughout the country documents showing that the Democracy has added a heavy tax on articles used liberally in every family in the land. It seems that the Republicans issued three weeks ago literature which said sugar would ad vance, but as it has not the Democratic committee have circulated an interest ing document showing that sugar is not as high now as it was one year nin when on the free list. The Trust overdid it sell, and there being a glut in ihe mar ket sugar is not only cheap now, but it is liable to remain cheap tor many months to come. J RANSOM'S GOOD WORK. Senator Ransom, of North Carolina, was one of the prominent Southern Democrats who visited the city this week. He did not tarry long, but while here he assured those whom he met that the outlook in h'is State was never more encouraging. The Senator has been making a great many speeches in the campaign, and has appointments which will carry him over most of the State be tween now and the close of the cam paign. Those who have heard him dis cuss the issues of the day sav he has done much to create not only enthusi asm among the North Carolina Dem ocrats, but he has put the plain truths before the people in such a forcible style that many who were wavering and threatening to join the ranks of the Populists have re turned to the support of the Democratic party, and the Senator has succeeded in convincing them that experiments are bad things just as the State is beginning to prosper and when the crops are good and tbece, is every prospect ol a revival of business as the result of Democratic legislation at Washington. Gen. Ran som is also said to have told the farmers of North Carolina that they must ndt be impatient; that the Democrats have done more in a year than any party ever did before in so short a time, and that other and still better national legislation will follow at an early day. R. M. L. A CURIOUS CASE. The Troubles of Two Ladies and a Little Boy The Cobs: Line Aids Them. The Richmond Dispatch has the fol lowing : The Southern Railroad Company was charged in the Police Court yesterday with importing paupers into Richmond. The case was quite a sad one. in which two ladies and a little boy Mrs. -Lizzie Gammilland her 10-year-old son. and Miss Emma Guirk, her sister had be come stranded here, without means to proceed further. The ladies said they were journeying from Reading. Pa., to Cameron, N. C. While on a trolley-car in Baltimore several days ago their pockets were picked. They lost their railroad tickets and every cent of money in their posses sion, ine Mayor ot Baltimore had KTndly procured passage for them to this city, and had told them to call on the Chief of Police here, who would for ward them to to their destination. Major Poe, having no funds at his disposal for this purpose, swore out a warrant against the Southern Railway Company. When the case was called, Captain West appeared for the railroad. The Justice agreed to dismiss the case if the railroad company would take the ladies and the boy out of town. This Captain West refused to do.
