According to the statement of Josiah W. Leeds, Mr. Penn, the orig inal real estate dealer in Pennsylva nia, wasn't much of a land-boomer, for he paid $150,000 more for the land be bought than he got for it. Gov. McKinley has since he started out on his jaw" working tour made as many as twenty speeches in a day. But he cuts them short. Just what the people will do with his party when they get a' whack at it in 1896. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Rep., talks level-headed sense when it says, "it is the duty of the Repub lican party to help the tidal wave with good nominations, rather than to rely upon the tidal wave to elect bad nominations." Senator John Sherman declares that he is not in favor of extreme protection. John keeps his weather eye open; but this isn't sayinaauch for his influence as a Senatdr when he couldn't chock the wheels of "ex treme protection" just alittle. Ambassador Bayard arrived at home last Tuesday. He told an anxious enquirer that his return had nothing to do with politics, but was simply a social visit. It is a long time since Mr. Bayard has had a good, square, orthodox diamond-back stew. There is more war brewing in Kansas. Right on the heels of the charge made against Gov. Lewelling that he was bribed by a lottery com pany, a fellow bobs up who says that Mrs. Lease, who was instrumental in securing him an office, tried to per suade him "to divvy the perquisites, &c, with her. Hon. John Sherman the other night at Akron, O., nominated Hon. Wm. McKinley for President in 1896. Aside from the fact that Hon. John Sherman and Hon. Wm. McKinley are both from Ohio, there is nothing particularly remarkable in this. Mr. Sherman is always willing to nomi nate some one else to be sacrificed. Mr. John P. Branch, president of a bank in Richmond, and his wife con fided too much in the honesty of Bal timore, when on retiring they placed $15,000 worth of jewels on the bu reau, and left the key on the outside of the door. When they awoke in the morning the jewels were gone. A case ot misplaced connaence ana misplaced jewels. The New Orleans States says a good many of the sugar planters who pulled out of the Democratic party and went into the Republican party, because they got mad about the bounty business, are pulling back again. The Republican bosses wouldn't consent to white primaries, and they couldn't stomach the varie gated kind. Shortly before his death Senator Plumb, of Kansas, predicted that the time would come when corn growing land would be worth $100 an acre, for the wheat growing area was prac tically unlimited while the corn growing area was limited within weir defined lines, as cotton is. When that day comes, if it ever does, Dixie farming lands will be in it. In his Cooper Union speech in New York, last Saturday night, Hon. T. B. Reed, in speaking of the Re publican party if it should again be entrusted with power.said: "Wedo not nromise von Drosoerity, for those i ' - j conditions are not of our choosing This was remarkably modest in Tom and in striking contrast to the course heretofore generally pursued by statesmen of his schools who promised everything. He has probably come to the conclusion that people who had been so often fooled by these promises wouldn't bank on them aay more. Rev. Yune . Clunz Yen. rector in the Protestant Episcopal church in Shanghai, says the war is a blessing in disguise to China. It is so well disguised that Rev. Yung is about the only Chinaman who has discov ered the blessing. The fact that only 2 per cent, of the 170,000 women in Connecticut who are entitled to vote in town elections, voted at the late election, indicates that the other 98 per cent, are not much stuck on suffrage. Gov. McKinley on the stump de clines to discuss the income tax. Gov. McKinley has sense enough to know when not to tackle some things. Ten thousand plurality is the figure that prominent Tammany men are claiming for their municipal ticket in November. In 1889 the South produced $38, 116,000 worth of lumber, in 1890 $86,607,692 worth, and there are sev eral trees still standing. NEW ADVEHTISEMENTS. Star Old newspapers cheap. R. M.

Notwithstanding the big com bination against the great philanthropist, Nathan Straus, his friends are placing their money on his election to the May oralty of New York, and arc asking no odds There are a number of business bouses in Wilmington who have thus far contributed nothing to the Welcome Week fund, although they can well afford to do so. even on the ground of self-interest. The committee should have about $500 more to make the event a complete success. The "coot" hunters were on a regular raid yesterday and met with much success. Mr. G. f . Bonev, accord ing to the returns, was the champion of the day, bagging 175 birds out of 209 shots. Capt. W. N. Harriss was a close second with a score ot 144. There isn't much real sport in shooting "coots," but when it comes to toothsome game they are hard to beat. COTTON FACTS AND FIGURES. Receipts here yesterday, 1,855 bales; same day last vear, 1,481.

The Finance Committee reported progress and said they needed three or four hundred dollars more, and it is thought they can secure it from those who have not yet subscribed, and who will be called upon today. The Decoration Committee, Mayor S. H. Fishblate, chairman, stated that the city would be beautifully decorated and needed about two hundred dollars for that purpose. Mr. H. McL. Green, of the Gun Shoot Committee, said that he had already received numerous letters irom places in this State that would send teams ii the prizes would justify. He thought large crowds would be present to witness this affair. m iV in m .-a Mr. j. v. i.ooor, oi the same com mittee, stated that the club would have eleven events, knowing that the pro gramme now arranged by the Gun snoot committee would attract many dubs in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. ine transportation committee re ported that they were working to secure the one-fare rate on all roads in South Carolina as well as this State. Messrs. T. D. Meares ol the C. C. R. R . T. C. James of the C. F. & Y. V. R. R., and Douglas Winstead of the A. C. L all stated that they were exerting their energies to secure these rates in South Carolina. Mr. J. S. Hooper ot the Fireworks Committee, reported that he would get prices for a show on the principal streets during each night of the week. There will not be one-third as much spent lor fireworks this year as heretofore. Mr. P. Hiensberger reported that good races would be had and excellent prizes offered. Committees on Music, Advertising, Reception, Information and Parade re ported progress. A letter was read from the Hunter circus, museum and menagerie, asking to make arrangements for a show during Welcome Week. The committee is now in correspondence with the show people. Manager James K. Collier, of the Opera House, in a communication to the committee, said that he would pat a show on during the week at popular prices. A programme was prepared which will be acted upon at the next meeting. The Gun Club shoot seems to attract more attention than the other features. Coons and Coots. The high waters in swamps and low grounds on the Black and Cape Fear rivers, caused by recent rains, drove the last trip of the boat up Black river, from which the steamer returned yester day, captured six coons that had taken refuge from the flood in trees, Sportsmen from the city have had. great success recently gunning for coots and have bagged thousands of these birds. One gentleman, who went out yesterday morning, returned early in the afternoon, with a bag of one hundred and seventy-four. m m K. of P. Drum Corps.

The Savannah Morning News, one of the leading Democratic papers of the South, says editorially of Maj. Stedman: Mai. Charles M. Stedman is making a gallant fight for Democracy in Western North Carolina. He is a candidate tor the Senate, and his Democracy is of the kind that that body was a little short of dnring the tariff fight that ended re- ceutly in a'victory for the Gorman quar tette. Maj. Stedman has been on the stump for several weeks, and it is said bis efforts have been followed by the most gratifying results to his party. Speaking in Brunswick. Mr. W. G.

Secretary Harker Beys It Will be the Beat in the State Whether the Board of Agricul ture Breaks Faith with the People Or Not. W. B. Harker, of Maxton, secretary of the Border Exposition of the Caro linas. is in the city. Referring to the re port in the Raleigh correspondence of tke Messenger that the Executive Com- n ttee of the Board of Agriculture met last Tuesday and decided that they could not make an exhibit at the Maxton Fair, he says: The Executive Committee did not meet. Col. Green, chairman, did go to Raleigh and consult with Secretary Bruner, who has been opposed to making the exhibit from the street, and has exerted himself in throwing obstacles in its way. Mr. Harker says that the Executive Committee, composed of Col. W. F. Green, Capt. Capeheart and Hon. J. F. Payne, met in August and ordered the secretary to make the exhibit, if the dates did not conflict with the State Fair, thinking that the museum ought to be kept intact at a time when an unusual number of visitors were in the city. There is no conflict in dates, and the only question is one of time to pack. With a willing secretary, or one who preferred the promise of the Board, who have honored him, and the interest of the people, above his own ease, this question would not have been raised. No meet ing of the Executive Committee has since been held to reconsider their ac tion in ordering the exhibit, and as the Secretary of the Border Exposition has advertised the exhibit in good faith, as well as been put to trouble and expense he expects the exhibit to be made. Cer tainly the representatives of a great State cannot afford to trifle with their promises. They can better afford to close their museum for all time. It should be understood that the Bor der Exposition was to pay all expenses of the exhibit, which they' were willing to do, believing that it would stimulate the State pride Of thousands of our peo ple to see the State's resources in mina ture, thousands who will never see it in Raleigh. Bat whether the Board of Agriculture breaks it solemn promise or special trains will run from Wilmington, and low rates prevail, large crowds are expected from this city. OPERA HOUSE. Miss Lillian .Lewis aa Cleopatra-Plays to a Large Audience. A large audience greeted Miss Lillian Lewis at the Opera House last night. and were well pleased with her rendition of Cleopatra. She played well and her support was all that could be wished to carry out the ideas intended to be por trayed in the rendition. The costumes and scenery were very beautiful and the many ladies in the play were all handsome, danced and sang well, and greatly pleased all present. The spectacular part of the entertainment was particularly interesting and the living pictures were gorgeous beyond descrip tion. Taking the plav as a whole, it could be said to be good and pleasing to the audience, but if "Old William" had been there he would hardly have recognized his offspring. Come again Miss Lewis, modernize the old, and make new. THE WEATHER. u. s. Dxp't or Agriculture, Weather Bureau, Wilmington, N. C, Oct. 18.

Star 1894. the gibbons-walcott fight. Waloott a Terrific Hitter Gibbons No Match (or Him Full Description of the Fight. The New York Herald gives the fol lowing detailed account of the recent fight between Austin Gibbons and Joe Walcott at Coney fsland: The event of the evening introduced Austin Gibbons and "Joe" Walcott. of Boston. The Jerseyman was seconded by Richard and Jim Gibbons, "Johnny" Kerwin and John Norton, of Patterson, and "Coa" Riordan. of California. Wal cott's interests were cared for by "Tom" O Rourke, of New York, and "Jack"' Fogarty, of Philadelphia. His timer was Jack Bradley, oi Providence. "Honest John" Kelly held the watch for the club. Joe Walcott was the first to enter the ring. Black as an ace of spades, he sat in his corner and showed his ivories, without thought that he might have them knocked out. Gibbons was some time in taking his corner. He was given cheer after cheer, and was evidently the favorite in the hearts of the crowd, though the majority of the sports had their money on the black man. Jim Gibbons and Tom O'Rourke had quite a long wrangle. O'Rourke wanted the man having the best of the bout at the end of ten rounds, or in case of in terference on the part of the authorities, to be declared the winnei. Gibbons wanted a draw if the police interfered. Gibbons finally gave way and the battle proceeded. LIVELY FROM THE BEGINNING, e As the men stepped to the centre after shaking hands it was seen that Gibbons was at least a head higher than Walcott. After sparring carefully Gibbons led and caught Walcott hard in the stomach, and got in a return one on the eye that nearly closed it. He caught the colored man two terrible blows with the left in the stomach. The men then came together in a mizup, the fighting being in the white man's favor. Then the colored man led and caught Gibbons with his left. Just before the gong sounded Gib bons caught Walcott with the left on the stomach and cross countered with his right. The round was very even, but slightly in Gibbons' favor. GIBBONS NEARLY DONE FOR. In the second round Walcott was the aggressor, landing hard with his left on the body. Hushed by his success, Wal cott tried to repeat the feat, but failed, and Austin landed heavily with his right on the jaw. A sharp exchange at close quarters followed, both men doing effec tive execution. lhe colored man changed his tactics, trying for the jaw, but missed, (jibbons backing and laughing at Walcott s inability to hit above the chest. They soon got together again; and Gibbons, in attempting to plant a swinging right hand blow on the jaw, slipped and fell heavily. He jumped up quickly and, catching the colored boy off his' guard, landed heavily on the jaw, knocking Walcott against the rope. Gibbons followed this up with a left hand jab on the body and a right swing on the neck. He tried the mark, and Walcott landed a terrific right hand blow over the Jerseyman s heart. almost doubling Gibbons up. This blow really settled Gibbon s chances. He re turned to his corner in a very weak con dition. Walcott, on the other hand, was as fresh as when be started, and Gibbons' blows did not seem to have had any effect on him. THE GONG SAVES THE JERSEYMAN. The men went at it with the greatest eagerness in the tnira round, uiboons led with his left, catching Walcott with terrific force on the lace. Walcott re turned the compliment with a left on the jaw. Gibbons then landed twidk on the mouth. In close exchanges Gibbons got in three lefts in rapid succession on Walcott's face and body. The white man then uppercut his opponent, but it seemed to be impossible to hurt him. Walcott woke up and bit Gibbons two very swift and hard ones in the face. The Paterson man responded with two quick left hands for the face. He continued the work with two in the stomach, but went down from a cyclonic drive on the nose. The gong saved him, for Walcott had changed his tactics and was doing all the work. In the fourth round Gibbons tried bard to give bis opponent the impression that he still considered his chances good, and he smiled faintly. It was the smile of despair, and not one of confidence. Wal cott knew it. The Bostonian toed the mark smiling and confident. He knew he had his work all but completed. A SETTLER ON THE JAW. Gibbons was the first to lead, and sent his left across lightly on the colored man's face. For his pains the Jersey man received a hard left hander on the body that staggered him. The Jersey man again tried for the body, but fell short, and Walcott planted a swinging right hander on Gibbons' neck. Gib bons clinched to avoid the cruel blows of his adversary. The referee had just separated the men when Walcott walked up to bis man and letntea wit n nis leit. Gibbons, thinking that the blow was in tended for the body, dropped his hands to throw it off, leaving his jaw unprotected. That was exactly what the colored gladiator wanted, y uicr as a flash be sent his powerful right across. It landed squarely on Gibbons' jaw, and the Jerseyman shook convul sively for a moment and then fell like a log on the floor of the ring, rle was beaten and out. He was not counted. however, for the referee did not wish to decide it a knock out. So when Jim Gibbons jumped into the ring to assist his brother Eckhardt did not interfere. Jim carried his brother to his corner, and after a good deal of rubbing Austin recovered. The referee, of course, de clared Walcott the winner. Walcott demonstrated that he is not only a great hitter, nut a very clever fighter. The general opinion ot the sports was that he can beat any man in his class. AGRICULTURAL FAIRS.
