For the past four years this conn try has supplied Germany with an average of 3,532,126 pounds of dried apples. And yet the German Em peror does not seem to appreciate the true inwardness of the dried apple. John Polax, in Chicago, took one pinch of snuff too much and in thg wrong place. It was on a railroad track and he was taken with such a violent fit of sneezing that be couldn't get out of the way of an ex press train and was instantly killed. Out of 824 persons in England whose ages ranged from 80 to 100 years it was found that one-third of them were small eaters and not ode- tenth of them had robust appetites. Ii appears from this that the less a person stuffs the better the chances of longevity. In proportion to wealth and popu- laiion Philadelphia pays twice as much tor schools as New York and not more than half as much for po lice. But Philadelphia can't boast of such police as New York. Men who can afford to pay $15,000 for berths must be high priced. Japan has little faith in China's peace talk, but thinks the crafty Chinaman is playing to gain time to enable him to buy some more war ships and secure the services of some r nr . m.1 more European omcers in iuc army A murderer in Kansas City has beeh acqiiitted by a jury on the ground that although he committed the murder be did it under hypnotic influence. If jurors attached more importance to hempknotic influence than they usually do there would be fewer murders. M. Bartbou, Minister of Public Works in France, and M. Jaures, Socialist member of the Chamber of Deputies, amused themselves Christ mas day with the regulation French duel. Taures wanted his honor placated because Barthou called him a liar. They exchanged shots, wasted a little powder, neither was hurt, but the honor matter was fixed up all right. "Bachelor's Rest" is the ironic name of a town in Arizona, which has eight hundred men and not a single (nor a married) woman in it. They want about two hundred im mediately or thereabouts, and one man wants one of them so bad that he offers a $10,000 dowery. They wish understood, however, that they don't want fashion models, but sure-enough women, who can make themselves useful as well as orna mental. The ycung Czar of Russia does not seem to be much in fear of as sassination. He goes around St Petersburg unattended, very much to the horror of the police who fear that their importance as life protec tors may be depreciated. The young man shows more sense than his father did who lived in constant dread of assassination, a dread which the police did all they could to mag nify by repeated alleged discoveries of new plots against bis life. The latest disease curer in Ger many is a shepherd who lives in a small village. Thousands of per sons come to him from all parts of Germany, and he is said to have been remarkably successful. Atlanta, Ga., which is sometimes called the Chicago of the South, is a hustling and and a growing town. It has five times the population it had twenty-five years ago. Henry Wescott, of Bridgeton, N. J., a member of the life-saving sta tions of Cape May and Atlantic City, although only 24 years of age, has a record of 43 lives saved. Out of the 63.000.000 people fn this country in 1890, 20,000,000 were of foreign parentage, and of these 9,000,000 Were of foreign birth. If SW ADVEBT18KMJBITT8. D L. Gore Liverpool salt.

The cottolene cooking exhibit is progressing very satisfactorily at Messrs.

The Directors of the Atlantic National Bank have declared a semi-an nual dividend of 8 per cent., payable on and after January 38th.

PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS Pertinent Paraarsphs Pertaining Princi pally to People and Pointedly Printed. Mr. Jno. W. Cotton, of Den mark, S. C , is here visiting friends. Mr. H. W. Shaw is in the city visiting his brother. Mr. Walter Sbaw. Mr. Jno. Garcia, of Boston, Mass., has accepted a position with Prempert ft Sons.

That Cheoker Con teat. Referring to the series of games now in progress at Asheville between Mr. H. C. McNair and Mr. John A. Murdoch for the checker championship of North Carolina, the Citixen reproduces what the Star said about Mr. McNair and the rabbit foot, and adds : 'John A. Murdoch, who is to play Mr. McNair. has no rabbit foot, but for years has carried three rings from a rac coon's tail, and what he will do for the rabbit foot will 'be a plenty.' " Then, this is the issue : Can the left bind foot of a graveyard rabbit beat three rings from a raccoon's tail ? Well, the Star is content with that; but we posi tively protest against the introduction of even "a hair of the hide" of Vanderbilt's mongoose. P. S. There is a rumor here that out of four games thus far played Murdoch has won three. If the report is true, it is evident some sharp Asheville real estate broker has traded McNair an eligible town lot for that rabbit toot. Outlook for lumber. Mr. Merritt W. Dixon returned yes terday from New York, says the Savan nah News, where he has been for some time on business, and incidentally he has been giving much attention to the condition of the lumber markets. Mr. Dixon said yesterday that the prospect for the lumber business this season was quite encouraging. Especi ally were large orders expecte i from railroads in almost all sections ot the country. Many of the roads have let their rolling stock run down until much of it is in such condition that repairs are absolutely necessary. Orders tor this purpose, he said, are constantly being filled, and while prices have not materi ally advanced, the mills have a good many orders to fill, and they are almost all q lite busy, The prospect, he said. s in every respect bright ana encourag ing. Power's Impersonation. The box-sheet for Power's impersona tions in "Copperfield" will be open at Yates' book store early Monday morning. The present indications are that there will be a good audience. This is toi- tunate, for a grand entertainment is in store.

Newsptper Thieves It is a fact beyond dispute that news paper thieves follow the carriers of the Star (on Sunday especially) and steal many of the papers soon after t hey are left for city subscribers. It will be easy to capture and punish some of these tbieves if these to whom thev offer to sell papers will assist in the work. When tbey attempt to sell a paper without th; words "For" Tran sient Sale" stamped on the margin, it may be taken as almost conclusive evi dence that the paper has been stolen. Of coarse, if people will continue to buy the unstamped papers the thieves will continue their wo k. Contribution! tor the Confederate Veterans Home. Mrs. A. H. Holmes, of this city, one of the Board of Lady Managers ot the Cowtederate Veterans Home at Raleigh, has received acknowledgment of receipt of Christmas contributions collected and sent by her, as follows : Raleigh, N.

The scholars of the Academy ot In carnation gave a very creditable per formance Thursday night in their school room, corner Fifth and Ann streets. It was a Christmas entertainment, and was a representation of the "Brownies in Fairy Land." There was a crowd of people to see the children, who acquitted themselves nicely. The managers have been asked to repeat it at an early date. Saturday Night Prayer Meeting.

Their Performance in Hewbern Christ mas Night, and What Was Thought of It. The Newbern Journal gave the fol lowing notice of the performance of the Wilmington boys in that citv: The Wilmington Minstrel Troupe, con sisting of about thirty of Wilmington's clever young men. arrived on the 18 o'clock train of the W., N. ft N. road Tuesday (Christmas day). A number of the Newbern boys met them at the de pot and escorted them to Hotel Albert, where, after about five minutes recess, they assembled by bugle call for the street parade. THE PLAY AT NIGHT. Considering the several engagements at the different churches, etc., they bad a very good bouse most of the seats on the lower floor being filled. The stage setting was very pretty, and Mr. Robert W Vincent took bis part as interlocutor iaost admirably. Tne first part opened with chorus "Carolina," and consisted ot solos and witty hits by the end men, all receiving loud applause. The second part opened with a one-act farce entitled "Who Stole dat Ham," by Messrs. Croom and Marshall. The cornet solo bv Mr. Robt. We s cott was very highly rendered, and beisg called back, he gave the audience the naval bugle call. He was encored lively. Mr.. Henry Newman, the comedian, entertained the audience for about ten miautes with humorous songs, recita tions, etc. Mr. Newman is one of the finest amateur comedians ever on the Newbern stage. The troupe should feel proud him. Mr. Henry Angel was good, both on tbe end and in bis impersonation of the ante-bellum darkey. His singing was one of the features of the show, he hav ing thoroughly mastered tbe negro dialect. Mr. Johnson Graham, with Mr. Angel, we think needs mention for his very clever end work familiarly known as "Coxey," be was indeed a veritable "Coxey," tho' in black face. Messrs. John Marshall and Henry Howard made a very clever hit as "Par son Johnson and Parson Jones" a clever pair. The tableau, "The Soldier's Dream." was one of the most beautiful specialties that we have ever seen from amateur or professional, and this feature reflects credit upon Ensign Morrison, ot the Wilmington Division, who originated and perfected it for the minstrels. Messts Marshall and Croom, young sters in their teens, gave a tumbling per formance that was remarkably good as fine as any we ever saw by amateurs, old or vcung. The closing feature, "The Darky's Dream," was indeed most comical and carried the audience away loud in their praises of tbe performance. THE BANQUET, After the performance tbe minstrels were tendered a "Light" Banquet by the Newbern Reserves at the ola Newbern engine house. The room was hand somely decorated lor the occasion, and most all the visiting young men partici pated. Several toasts were made. Lieut. Com mander Winslow being among the respondents. The young men left on the 9 o clock train Wednesday morning for their home. Thev all seemed to enioy their Christmas in our city, and they will re member that Wilmington is always wel come here. THE GRATEFUL." ETERANS. They Sxpress Their Thanks For the Chns maa Contribution Sent From Wilmington. Soldier's Home. Raleigh. N. C, December 86. Editor News and Observer. We, the old ' soldiers of the home," de sire to give expression of our apprecia tion for the many kindnesses of which we have been tbe recipients from Col. Ed. Hall and Mrs. Holmes, of Wilming ton, and to put on record our assurance of the deep gratitude we feel for their unremitting and untiring kindness. Cut off as we are from home and friends and all that is near and dear to us, we feel very deeply grateful for any kindness extended to us, and could Col Hall and tbe dear good lady but hive witnessed our enjoyment of tbe nice things tbey sent us, as we assembled around tbe tables to partake Of them and have beard their praises sung from all sides, they would have been forced to exclaim, truly it is "more blessed to give than to receive. Should any of those who are near and dear to tbose good people, who have on so many occasions so kindly remem bered us, ever by tbe withering and blighting band of misfortune be to afcted as we have been, to seek an asylum here, may tbey always tied as good friends as we have ever found in tbe kind-hearted Col.

Hall too. and all who show us any kindness The Old Boys at the Soldier's Home The Weather Low Temperature-A Trace of Snow. The Bureau's predictions of a decided fall in temperature have been fully veri fied. The mercury yesterday from : maximum of 83 fell by 8 p. m. to 85 and continued to fall through tbe night.

After the inspection tbe division was drilled in tbe manual and company evolutions by Lieutenant Morrison Chrle'mes Tree Festival The children of St. Paul's Lutheran Sunday School were treated last night to a Christmas tree and holiday entertain ment at the Luther Memorial Building ine little ones turned out in large num hers, with their parents and friends, and each child was given a present by Santa V.ISUS. 1894. THE COTTON TRADE Hubbard' Weekly Report on! Condition Affecting the Market. New York, December 37. With the approach of the New Year tbe tendency on tbe part of all interested in the- mar ket has been to await tbe movement of January, with as small an interest in the market as possible, as this season of the year is always a critical time in tbe movement ot the maiket. On one hand is advanced the theory that tbe price has already discounted a 9.500 000 bale crop. and witk the knowledge that in all human probability the acreage for the coming year will be largely reduced, and that tbe use of fertilizers will be greatly curtailed, while on tbe other hand it is stated that the lack of speculation in all commodities in America and the fact that by the 1st of January there wiil be 6,900,000 bales of American cotton in ht, which, added to tbe visible supply on tbe 1st of September will furnish 8 -600 000 bales for the consumption of the world during the year-leaving the re-, maining portion of tbe crop as yet un marketed, to be carried over as a surplus either in the visible or invisible supply. Tbese are tbe lines of thought which pass through the mindset members cf tbe cotton trade as they consider he question of tbe fluctuations of the mar ket for tbe coming year, and either of these propositions at the motnert seems to be of sufficient weight to bring about a sudden cbange in values, acd it will probably be left to tbe question of trade conditions to decide whether the falling off in tbe last week of December is only a spasmodic interruption of tbe market ing ot tbe crop, or is brought about by exhaustion of the supply. Were it not for the present trade conditions in America, where the prices of all com modities are ranging upon an extremely low level, we believe tbat tbe cotton trade would be disposed to anticipate a sharp advance as the result of the efforts bich will undoubtedly be made to restrict the planting operations in the Spring, but those who think well of cot ton are conlronted with the fact tbat all other articles are similarly cheap, and that there appears in no line any anxiety to anticipate the future wants of con sumers. It is this feature which discour ages the holders of cotton as they other wise would consider the crop as having been discounted in the prices at present current. On the other hand, there is un doubtedly a slowly increasing demand on tbe part of many not connected with tbe cotton trade to invest in cotton. At tbe present time this demand, with no pressure to anticipate any further de cline, causes steady markeis and im proved prices. It is felt that throughout the country there is a slow improvement in trade, which is reflected in the in creased railway earnings of all sec tions of the country east of tbe Mis sissippi river, but as yet this im provement in business has not led merchants to anticipate any advance in the prices, of the commodities which tbey handle, and is considered by all as simply pointing to the slow but constant improvement in the conditions ot trade. It has been this feature of the situation upon which the basis ol tbe demand for cotton by those not directly con nected with the trade rests, and the strsngth of this demand will be tested should tbe movement dur ing January increase to the proportions anticipated by close ol servers, as up to this time tbe spinners of tee world have come to tbe relief of tbe market and ab sorbed all ot tbe cotton pressing for sale, so tbat the visible supply at the present time is only 100.000 bales in excess of what it was last year, in spite of the fact that 1 850 000 more bales cf cotton bad appeared up to last week than in 1893.
