Zimmerman, the bicyclist, is run ning a wheel of fortune. He has made twenty-five thousand dollars this year by his riding in Europe. Japan is making a good deal of history these sdays; and so is Tokato Shokai, a Japanese historian, who has already written three volumes on the war in Corea. An earthquake knocked a town in Japan down last Monday, and the next day houses were rocked in Cali fornia. Probably the same quake swinging around. San Francisco papers say that the power of the new lens in the Lick telescope is so great that a building the size of their city hall would be visible on the moon's surface. The Grand Rapids, Mich., furni ture makers are not howling calam ity as a result of the new tariff. They have just closed contracts for large bills of furniture to be shipped to England. The French propose to keep Pres ident Carnot's memory green. Steps have been taken in 200 towns and cities to erect monuments to him, while others are calling squares and avenues after him. Great crowds of pickpockets are said to follow Gov. McKinley in his swing 'round. This is proper. Gov. McKinley is the champion of the biggest pocket-picking system ever seen in this country. It is somewhat remarkable but it is true that there is not a Republican with Presidential aspirations on the stump now, save Wm. McKinley, who does not directly or indirectly apologize for the McKinley bill, and he probably would if it didn't bear his name. Generals Yeh and Web, command ing Chinese troops in Corea, are un der charges, the former of cowardice, the latter of extortion, and have been summoned to China to see if their heads shall be chopped off. That's the way the Chinese do. There was a fall of snow the othefg day in a Maine town, and two citi zens wagered as to which could eat the most snow balls. The wager was for one dollar. Silas Grew won, but it took about five dollars' worth of pain killer aid other staff to straighten htm out and get him on his feet again. He didn't know there was so much cramp in the beautiful snow. Hon. M. D. Harter, Democratic Congressman from Ohio, refuses to take part in the . campaign because the Democratic State Convention declared for the free coinage of sil ver. The Richmond Times suggests that perhaps the fact that Mr. Har ter and Governor McKinley are brothers-in-law, having married sis ters, may have something to do with his playing mum. -j Have Von Thought?"

The Figures of Mr. landauer He Argues to Bhow tht the Crop i Over-Eati-mated . The first paragraph ot the following was given in the telegraphic department of the Star of Friday last, but it is re produced in order to give tbe circular of Mr. Landauer complete : New Orleans, October 25. The local press will publish to-morrow a cir cular of Mr. A. J. R. Landauer, one of the largest exporters of the South, of American cotton, in which he estimates the commercial crop of the current sea son at 8.885,000 bales. Mr. Landauer estimates for Texas 2.700.000 bales, or an increase of 641,000 over last year; for the group of other Gulf States embracing Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee, 2,700,000 bales, an increase of 484,000, and for the Atlantic States em bracing North and South Carolina, Georgia. Florida and Alabama, 3,485,000 an increase of 210,000. Calculated by percentages be makes Texas gain 31 per cent., other Gulf States 22 per cent., and the Atlantic States 6 per cent. His views are predicted on personal observa tions made while travelling through sec tions of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkan sas and Texas, and in addition to the re ports of a large number of experienced correspondents throughout the South. Referring to reports promulgated relative to this season's growth Mr. Laudauer says: "From my own per sonal observation and from what I learn from reports received I feel satisfied that the yield of tbe present crop is exag gerated. He says the fact that 5,600,000 bales were marketed from States other than Texas last year notwithstanding the very poor yield of the Mississippi Valley bottoms, indicates that some very fine crops must have been raised in many sections of those States. Leading to the inference that while good results may be obtained this season they must be considered in many cases in compari son with the like conditions last season. He finds Texas, Louisiana and North Carolina ahead of all other States, while the hill lands of Arkansas promise in different and in many cases poorer crops than last year. Georgia and South Caro lina crops are very much spotted some good, others not better than last year, while the gain in Mississippi is princi pally in bottom lands, which promise better than for years, while the uplands will give an increase. Mr. Landruer says the Egyptian and Indian crops will equal last season, while the Asiatic crop promises to be disappointing. He claims that the spinning trade in England and Germany is improving. France reports good trade, with pros pects of mills continuing to work full time, and that in Prussia many of the most important spinners and manufac turers have contracts ahead for their en tire output for 1895, some - having con tracts up to March, 1896, In America he looks for a considerable improve ment over last season. He estimates the takings for the year by foreign and domestic spinners at 8,600,000 bales of American cotton and calculates on this basis that should the current crop reach 8.900,000 the visible supply October 1st, 1895, will not have increased more than 350,000 bales over that of October 1st, 1894. He claims that with continued low prices India will not ship anything like the quantity she has shipped in the last two years, and that with a reduction of the Asiatic crop the demand for cotton from other centres will naturally in crease; added to which he points to the probability of planters holding back a great deal of this year's product on ac count of low prices, and that as cotton cannot b: raised at present values unless there is an improvement, next season must witness a considerably reduced acreage. He claims that the present heavy movement to market is not an indication ot the crop, as it might be even greater with an 8.000.000 crop, and expresses the opinion that it is suicidal to sell an article which has gone far below tbe price of production, conclud ing as loiiows: "American cotton has no competition, and hence America is in a far better position to dictate the price of this article than any other she exports. As matter of course, if planters continue to rush their entire product to market at once, if they are so frightened by cur rent prices as to demoralize others, then it is possible we may witness even lower prices yet. On the other hand, if they market gradually and hold a portion, their risk is certainly nominal, if any, and if no great advance be established we might for a time, at least, experience steady markets followed by a healthy ad vance. Preparations for Welcome Week. The Wilmington Welcome Week, which begins on the 26th of November, promises to be the grandest ever held. It can already be seen that the mer chants have begun advertising it more extensively than ever heretofore. The military and civic parade pro gramme has been arranged, and with the marine parade and bombardment, will be the best one night show ever seen in any city in this State. The Fireworks Committee has made arrangements for a grand pyrotechnic display. The foot ball team is practicing nightly. A bag-race, three-legged race, and other features have been added to the programme. The Cyclorama of Gettysburg will show here each day during the week. . The Mazton Pair. Mr. W. B. Harker, secretary, an nounces that tbe great Cyclorama of Gettysburg has been secured as one of the attractions of the Maxton Fair, and negotiations are pending for Wom ble's European menagerie of trained wild animals. Members of the Wilming ton Gun Club are specially invited to participate in the trap shoot Novem ber 1st. Push the Work. The committees having in charge the preparation of the various attractions for Welcome Week should lose no time in getting to work. In some cases a correspondence with Northern houses will be necessary, and in addition to this there are always unexpected delays, for which due allowance must be made, Always ahead should be the motto. Federal Court. The U. S. Circuit and District Court for tbe Eastern District of North Caro lina, Judge A. S. Seymore presiding, will convene in Wilmington to-morrow afternoon. The civil docket will be called at 3 o'clock p. m. THE REPUBLICAN BOSSES They Will Soon Dic.uto Nominations, nd the Colored Brother Will Say "Fully" for the Boaaet! It seems that the County Republican Convention which assembled here some weeks since, and which adjourned sub ject to the call of the chairman, was called together again last Wednesday (it must have been a very quiet meeting), and, the Star is informed, passed the following resolution: Resolved. That D. L. Russell, W. H. Chadbourn, Thomas C. Miller. George Z. French, Daniel Howard. F. W. Fos ter and J. O. Nixon be and they are hereby appointed a commission on nom inations and they are authorized, on be half of this convention, to place before tbe people as candidates to be voted lor by the Republicans of New Hanover county, such names as candidates for the several offices and positions to be voted for as they may deem advisable, the con vention hereby conferring upon them full power so to do, and pledging the support of the Republicans of New Han over county to such nominations as the said commission may make. This resolution, of course, referred to the nomination of candidates to be voted for at the coming election, and the "commission" will doubtless hold a large and enthusiastic meeting in a day or two and "do something." It will be seen that the "commission" is composed of seven all "wise" men, of course and three of them are col ored. They are Miller, Howard and Nixon. Doubtless, they feel honored bv their association with Russell, Chad bourn, French and Foster; but will they insist that one or two colored Republi cans be placed on the ticket ? It is the colored men who do the voting in New Hanover they outnumber the white Republicans twenty to one but they will allow the white bosses to dictate the nominations, and tbe "whole kit and bilin' " of 'em will walk up to the polls and obey the order of their white bosses perhaps. Bully for Judge Russell's "savages." household"hints. Some Carefelly Selected Beoipea That Hay Be Found Useful. To Remove Fruit Stains From- Linen. Well moisten the stains with kerosene oil, rub thoroughly, cover the moist spots with carbonate of soda, and leave in the sun to bleach. If the first appli cation is unsuccessful try a second. To Remove Rust From Flat-irons. Pour some kerosene oil on to a plate or dish, and stand the flat-irons in it for twenty-four hours, rub them with rag and polish with very finely powdered bath-brick. To Clean Sewing Machines. Cover all the bearings with kerosene oil, work the machine quickly for a few minutes, then thoroughly rub all the oil of! with rags, and apply machine oil to the parts which need oiling. To Clean Windows and Looking Glasses. To a quart of lukewarm water add a dessert-spoonful of kerosene oil, dip a leather into the mixture and rub the glass; it will be clean in half tbe time it will take to clean with water only; polish with a dry leather. To Clean .Satin Shoes. Take a piece of new flannel and dip It in spirits of wine, rub the satin lengthwise of the grain, change the soiled part of the flan nel so as not to rub the dirt upon the parts already cleaned. White satin shoes should be kept in blue paper; if laid by for any length of time cover the paper with wadding to exclude the air and prevent them from turning yellow. To Preserve Shoes and Boots. To soften and prevent leather trom crack ing, rub castor oil into it and let it re main on for about twelve hours; this ap plied about once a month will greatly prolong the wear of boots. They will polish perfectly with ordinary blacking after using it. The Trap Shooting. Including the sweepstakes, always the most popular feature of competitive trap shoots, the money value of the prizes, purses and entrance fees of the events to be open during Welcome Week at the grounds of the Eastern Dog and Game Protective Association, will amount to at least six hundred dollars. In fact, if the attendance is large from other points, the amount may reach a much larger sum. The regular shoot for prizes has been fixed for Friday, November 30th, but there will probably be sweepstakes events nearly every day during the week; and it will be found that they will prove one of the most popular features of the occasion. The committee of. the gun club in charge of the matter hope to secure a large attendance of sportsmen from several States. These are gentlemen who come to enjoy themselves, and they always bring their purses not their lunches in their pockets. It is safe to say that in proportion to numbers, they will spend more money here than any of the thousands of visitors, who will be our guests Fall Opening Mr. Chas. E. Gordon, the live dry goods and notions merchant, corner of Front and Market streets, had his "opening" yesterday. His store was crowded throughout the day, and every one that called found everything arranged tastily, and goods of all vari eties in profusion. A special effort was made to please and his stock was well shown Supposed to be Insane A white man thought to be insane was taken to police headquarters last night He was arrested at Third and Princess streets, where be was creating a distur bance. He gave his name as G. T. B Nelson and said he had worked at one time at Col. Roger Moore's brick-yard near the city. AGRICULTURAL FAIRS.

Harity, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, says: "The entire Democratic ticket will be elected in the Empire State this time. The Democratic party has begun the work of tariff reform and when the enemy is fighting hardest it is no time to recede. Mr. Hill will be elected Governor." Chairman Faulkner, of the Dem ocratic Congressinal Campaign Com mittee, was interviewed in New York Friday. He said Senator Hill was mak ing the most magnificent canvass of the State that he ever knew of, and he had no doubt ol his election. He said the information he had was that the Demo crats throughout the State were more enthusiastic than they had been lor years, and the Republican majority above Harlem would be reduced to a considerable extent. A telegram from Corning, N. Y.. says: "Election betting, though light, is slightly in favor of Morton, but John Burke has put up $50 on Hill against $50 put up by John Gregorius. One of Hill's admirers says he will bet $50 that Hill wins by 30,000 plurality. At Lockport, N. Y., Dan Rodenbacb offered to bet $750 on Hill in ten bets of $75 against $100 each, but has had no takers. Charles W. Hatch called a bluff of $100 even on Hill. The World of Friday says : Among the visitors at Democratic headquarters yesterdav were ex-Comptrolier Wemple. who brought cheering news of tbe Dem ocratic situation in Montgomery county; Secretary Gardner, of the Congressional Committee, who said that Senator Faulk ner had gone to Washington impressed with the conviction that in spite of the unsatisfactory condition ot affairs in this county and in Kings the next House of Representatives would have a Demo cratic majority of at least sixteen, and ex-Senator J. Hampden Robb, who de clared that Senator Hill was daily grow ing stronger. Among the other visitors were Charles J. Canda, E. L. Ridgway, Commissioner Beardsley, ex-Senator McCarren and Thomas E. Pearsall. Ex-Senator Mc Carty, of Kings, dropped in long enough to say : "Kings county will go Democratic by 10,000 to 15,000. I think this is abso lutely certain." The Hall Storm. The hail storm Friday night (referred to in the Star of yesterday) caused con siderable injury to skylights, conservato ries, greenhouses and even tin roofs of buildings, to say nothing of choice flow ering plants destroyed or injured and trees and shrubbery stripped of foliage. Every pane of glass in the skylight at Dr. W. W. Harriss' office on North Water street was broken. Mr. R. W. Hicks found upon investi gation that the tin roof of his building on Water street was perforated in a number of places by hail-stones. The roof of Messrs. F. Rheinstein & Co's (building on North Front street was riddled in many places. Tbe sky light at the Y. M. C. A. building was badly damaged. Mr. D. L. Gore had eighty panes of glass broken in tbe green-house at his residence on Dock street. City Markets. The markets yesterday were well sup plied with fresh meats beef, pork, veal and mutton at current rates. Poultry was not abundant, yet sufficient to meet the demand; grown fowls selling at 30 to 35 cents apiece and chickens 15 to 25 cents; turkeys, $1.00 apiece and ducks 70 cents a pair. In the fish market there were abun dant supplies from the sounds at 10 to 15 cents per string. New River oysters sold at 80 cents to $1.00 per gallon and Sound oysters 12 to 15 cents per quart. There is no game yet in sight except ing coots at 30 to 40 cents per dozen, and squirrels at 5 cents apiece. Vegetables in season are abundant and cheap. Sweet potatoes sold at 50 cents per bushel; cabbage 5 to 10 cents apiece, turnips 5 cents per quart. THE weather. U. S. Dep't or Agriculture, Weather Bureau. Wilmington, N. C, Oct. 28.

The Democrats can well afford to pay his expenses and give him a chromo besides. If anything can thoroughly nnite the Democrats of New Hanover it will be the presence here of Butler, the political freebooter. Cotton Boston Bulletin.

The Baldwin-Melville Company com pleted their week's engagement last night by presenting at the Opera House the great temperance drama, "Ten Nights in a Bar-Room." For a Saturday night, the audience was unusually large, and their apprecia tion of the satisfactory interpretation of the play was manifest in tbe incessant applause and frequent encores that were lavished upon the players during the per formance. The company is comhosed of talented and accomplished artists, with Miss Pearl Melville in the lead, and they haye given the theatre-goers ol this city a week of solid enjoyment at extremely moderate and popular prices. At the close of the fourth act Mr. Baldwin appeared before the curtain and thanked the audience and tbe people of Wilmington for their patronage and courteous treatment during their stay here, and said that if satisfactory ar rangements could be made tbe company would again appear at the Opera House, during Welcome Week, when they would present some new plays as well as some of the most appreciated ones that had been played by them during the past week.
