There is a New York widow who treasures the memory of her cre mated husband by carrying a pinch ot him around in a locket. A little Louisiana darkey thirteen years old is creating a sensation in Atlanta by preaching sermons re markable for their force, grace and diction. The Savannah Nnvs says Chair man Clay, of the Democratic Cam paign Committee of Georgia, was handicapped by alleged Democratic papers preaching Populism almost under his nose. A Colorado newspaper reporter has discovered that Governor Waite pays no taxes. Neither did the man whom the Populists of Arkansas nominated for Governor. They do their tax paying in howling against those who do pay taxes. Some time last Summer Thomas A. Eddison fell from a rocker on a porch and injured himself. By the time that report reached Italy it had him falling from the fifth-story win dow of his houses. This shows how news grows and climbs as it travels. Every Scandinavian paper in Wis consin, has repudiated the Republi can State ticket. As their combined circulation is about 170,000, this means trouble for the Republicans, and brings joy to the "Bad Boy" Governor Peck, who is in the field again. . A colored Catholic congress was held this week in Baltimore which was attended by thirty-eight dele gates and nineteen alternates from Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, New York, Ohio, Michi gan, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ken tucky and North Carolina. The Republican papers in the North are on the ragged edge, so to speak. They are whacking at the new tariff and when their readers see the advertisements announcing great reductions in prices of goods they conclude the editors are lying. That's what hurts 'em, the conflicts between their editorials and the ads. Hiram S." Thomas, a boss colored waiter of New York, who is said to be worth $200,000, has caused a flurry in Brooklyn by going into a tony part of the town and buying a residence. The bon-ton white folks don't want him in that bailiwick, and they don't know how to keep him out. The property owners are try ing to buy the house from him, but he will not sell unless they pay him a big profit on what the house cost him. The theatre-hisser has been sus tained by a New York Judge, who has decided that the man who pays his admission fee has as much right to hiss a performance which he doesn't like as others have to pound the floor and applaud. That Judge would also hold, no doubt, that one man would have iust as much right to throw a cabbaze or a bunch of onions as another has to throw an armful of flowers. Mathan Straus, who has been nominated for Mayor of New York by Tammany, is the philanthropist who has established those coal, mtlk and cheap food stations in that city, which have enabled so many poor people to get the necessaries of life at a price that they could afford to pay. The poor of the city will doubtlhss show their appreciation of his henevolence bv eivine him a rousing vote for the office which he did not seek.

Every member of the Wilming ton WelcGmev-Committees is requested to meet with the Executive Committee next Wednesday night at the S. A. L. office at 8 o'clock. '., There is a "siz" about the Dem ocratic canvass now that bodes no good to the Rep.-Pop kombination in North Carolina. And the political skies are growing more lurid every day. A mass meeting of colored peo ple will be held to night at the Central Baptist Church to discuss the subject: "The Printing Press in the hands of Negro as a factor in the elevation of the race." Pop. preacher Martin is no hog. He knew when he had enough; so, he declined to meet Lockhart in joint de bate any more. Now he will sneak around the District and try to humbug the people. Mrs. S. Greenbaum has removed to the city from Southport, where she conducted a first-class boarding house during the Summer. She now opens in the same business at No. 316 North Front street. This is true : "The most suc cessful advertisers are those who keep their business constantly before the pub lic, without regard to the state of trade. They will not allow themselves and their business to be forgotten' Mr. Warren G. Elliott, Jr., the Democratic war horse of the Dismal Swamp, is in charge of the Democratic headquarters in this city, and can give you all the political information you want, from the tariff tax on fine hosiery to the internal revenue tax on "high wines." The County Democratic candi dates are now making it hot for the Rep. Pop. kombination all over the State. Al lowing six speeches for each county, which is a low estimate, about six hun dred Democratic speeches are now being made every day (except Sunday) in North Carolina.

The Ciub intends to have fast flyers from every part of the State and run team and individual races, but can do nothing of this kind without a suitable track and prizes which will draw the at tention ot riders.

The Maxton Blade, a Republican newspaper, edited ov a colored man, thus scores the white leaders of his party who are trying to drive the colored Re publicans into the Populist camp: Ever since colored men were clothed with the robes of citizenship the white Republicans have taught them that it was a crime to vote any other than a straight Republican ticket, and now be cause they persist in doing what they have been taught to do, they are called rebels. They refuse to be driven into the Populist camp, and for this they are called all manner of hard names. The tact is, the white Republicans are the rebels; they are the traitors, for they are seeking to sell the colored vote to the Populist party. They will not be able to deliver the goods, however. A Skeleton Unearthed. While workmen were engaged in digging a flower-pit in Jthe garden in rear of the residence of Mr. Joseph H. Hanby, corner of Eighth and Dock streets, a skeleton was unearthed about three feet below the surface. The bones indicated that it was the body of a large man. Several hundred people stopped to look at the skeleton, and surmise and wonder. Those familiar with the facts attach no importance to or surprise at the find. The Circus. The Walter L.

Four Good Hecipes for Making Pickles. MUSHROOM PICKLES.

CHOW-CHOW. Four onions, six stalks of celery, two dozen tomatoes, one head of cabbage chopped fine. Boil in one quart of water, then drain; take two quarts vine gar, two pounds sugar, one tablespoonful mustard, three tablespoonfuls mixed spices. Boil all together. PICKLED GRAPES. The large dark grapes are preferred. Wipe clean and pick off stems, then weigh. To six pounds of fruit use one quart ol vinegar and three and a half pounds of sugar, some stick cinnamon and a few whole cloves; add the sugar and spices to the vinegar and cook to gether; put the grapes into heated glass iars and cover with hot vinegar, screw the covers on same as for canned fruit. VIRGINIA MIXED PICKLES Take four dozen large cucumbers, half a peck of full-grown green potatoes, a dozen white onions, two heads of cab bage, half a pint of grated horseradish and fourth of a pound of mustard seed and ground pepper each, one ounce of cinnamon, one ounce of celtr. seed, half a teacup of salid oil and two oar.ces of tumeric.

The greatest success any prodaction has achieved has been accorded Miss Lillian Lewis' production of "Cleopatra," which will be presented at the Onera House next Wednesday evening, Octo ber 17th. Miss Lewis has simply taken theatre-goers bv storm. The Albany Journal says: Lillian Lewis gave a single perform ance of her conception of Shakespeare's "Cleopatra" at Harmanus Bleecker hall last night. Never has the play been given here amid such splendor as that vhich Miss Lewis good taste dictated n this production; seldom has such a gorgeous presentation been given by any artist. In a word, the per formance was meritorious in every par ticular. The scenery by Seavey was a series of art pictures, and the groupings ol the prettily and tastelully costumed players were careful and lacked the stiff ness which is too often seen. In the first act a silver tea service of the value of 82,000 is used. This would indicate the superior character of the stage settings and costumes. The arrangement of the ballet and its members are very graceful. The prima ballerina was M'lle Adele Camis, one of the best that Italy has has ever furnished. William Humphrey made an excellent Anthony and Miss Lewis an ideal Cleopatra. The entire cast is well balanced. cotton facts AND FIGURES Net receipts at bales; stock, 586,298. the ports, 4o,tn Receipts here yesterday, 1,926 bales; same day last year, 2,572; receipts since September 1st, 52,920.
