SMITH Pleasing Mnaioal Entertainment St the T. M. C. A. Iiat Kiftht. The concert given at the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium last night by the Six Smith Sisters was highly appreciated by the large audience which assembled to hear them. This is certainly a unique and deserving combination of female talent. t is something unusual to bear a con cert company composed exclusively of feminine voices, but this one includes in its make-up as good timber as can be found in some of the best male compa nies which have visited this city. Each and every one of the young ladies is a first-class musician and the music they produce, whether as soloists, in quar tettes or sextettes, is of a high order and their selections are of a kind that do not fail to please. One of the sisters. Miss Marguerite, is an elocutionist of wonderful ability, and it is doubtful if she has an equal in her particular line, which is the representa tion of the infantile or juvenile charac ter. Her interpretation of it is simply superb, in fact she mimics the sweet innocent and bashful little girl and the brusque; stubborn and backward boy to perfection. Miss Gertrude, another sister, pos sesses a sweet soprano voice of unusual purity and richness of tone and remark able compass. She sang several solos and was encored heartily. The concert was a success both finan cially and musically, and was entirely in keeping with the other attractions which have been offered by the Y. M. C. A. management during the pist season, this being the last in the Elite Course. DIED IN THE RIGGING. Bndden Deatn ol the Second Mate of the Baiqne Marion 8. Harrias. A Norwegian sailor, Chris Petersen, died in the rigging of the American barque Marion S. Harriss yesterday forenoon about bait-past eleven o'clock. He was on the main topmast of the ves sel, attending to some work, when sud denly be fell backwards and hung sus pended in the rigging. Other sail ors on the vessel went to Peterson's ssistance and found him unconscious. As speedily as practicable he was lowered to the deck, a physician was called and everything possible was done to resusci tate the uniortunate man, but without avail. His death is ascribed to heart disease. After the Coroner bad viewed the body it was removed to Evans' un dertaker shop on North Second street. and was there prepared for burial, which will take place this morning in Oak Grove Cemetei y. Peterson shipped as second mate of the barque last Wednesday. He was about 82 years of age and bad been on vessels running to this port some twelve or fifteen years. 8np9rlor Court.

Efforts are being made to send him back to his wife and two children in Oregon. Physically, Jack was once a power, and, personally, he has been the most popular man who ever donned the gloves.

The rapid depletion of the gold bal ance of the Treasury, through the! re turn of securities from Europe, based upon the idea that the United States Government were going on a silver basis, has practically overshadowed any events which have happened to influence the price of cotton, snd the cotton market tor the week has been practically con trolled by the varying conditions which have been reported regarding the finan cial situation of the Government. It is no doubt true that the alarm in Europe has led to purchases of cotton here by exporters, wbo.have fel that as cotton was used principally in Europe, i re mittances of cotton in place i of remittances of gold would pay for the securities which have been re turned from Europe. These purchases have bad the effect of advancing this market, and each improvement has created fresh alarm on the part of the short interest and led to buying for that account. These purchases have been filled by Southern sellers, who have up to the present time held their cotton te naciously, but now appear to be willing to meet the market and to seil freely on eech advance. The recent severe weath er in the Mississippi Valley and Texas, should cave the effect of curtailing the movement of the crop in those sections of the country, but the Atlantic States appear now to be willing to dispose of the cotton which they have held during the entire season, with freedom, and the movement at those ports shows no dim inution. In fact, a comparative increase over the previous week. The amount of cotton coming in sight each day is simply overwhelming as compared with the movement ot last year and shows a constant increase upon the movement of 1892. We are now approaching a time when this movement must fall off or else the crop will exceed the estimate of 9- 500 000 bales which has been current for so long a time. We are also nearing the period when the question of acreage should bean lm ponant factor in controlling values; but tbere is as yet no positive indication ihit the acreage will be decreased to the ex tent which merchants have been led to expect, Of course if prices keep low throughout the planting season the dis position to raise more corn and less cot ton will become marked, but at the pres ent time tbere is no positive movement towards a sharp decrease in acreage. Uncertainty regarding the financial leg is ation of the country naturally prevents any material change in values, as most of the transactions are in the nature ot liquidation ot outstanding interests. REDUCED COTTON ACREAGE. Nothing But Dimlniahed Production Makes Higher Prices For Cotton. The nearer the time approaches when the planting of the next cotton crop will be inaugurated, says the New Or leans Picayune, the more important does the problem as to the acreage to be devoted to the fleecy staple appear. A well-organized effort bas been inaugu rated to secure a reduction ot xo per cent, in the acreage of the coming crop. and the experience which the farmers of the South have had with 5-cent cotton has prepared them to accept any reason able plan which holds out a promise of advancing prices. While the proposition to cut down the acreage materially is gaining in popu larity, there are some people who pro fess to believe that the proper remedy tor the existing depression is not to be found in a reduction of acreage, but in a readjustment ot cost ot production, so as to make it possible to raise cotton at 5 cents per pound. This would be tantamount to claiming that if the next crop should prove to be as large as the present It would sell at 5 cents, which means 4J4 cents on plantations, which does not follow by any means. Tbe more probable -result ot such a policy would be a steady decrease in the value of cotton. The present crop, which was planted on a basis of 7 cents per pound, has sold at 5 cents; hence, if the same acreage, or an increase, is to oe planted this year, the next crop would in all probability sell on a basis of 4 cents, or lower. In fact, with the promise of another excessive yield, there is no telU ing bow low prices would go. While tbe gradual reduction of tbe cost of production . is the permanent policy which the South must follow, it is absolutely necessary, in order to elevate the cotton industry out of the rut into which it has fallen, that pro duction be at once diminished, so as to afford a prospect that tbe existing sur plus may find a market, and the rela tions of supply and demand may be again placed on a normal tooting. There is now absolutely no prospect ot an improvement in prices, except it is made apparent in the near future that tbe acreage will be materially re duced. "GO WtST, YOUNG MAN." The Mercantile Association of the Carc- linas May Go to Charlotte. Few of th wholesale merchants or manufacturers of the city were to be found in their places of business yester day afternoon, says the Charlotte Obser ver of the 1st. They were" all "bunched' in the Manufacturers' Club. They met there in response to the circular letters issued Tuesday afternoon, railing them together at that place. At 4 o'clock all were assembled in the library at the club. J. H. Weddington, Esq., was called to the chair. He stated that the object of the meeting was to see if inducements could not be offered Mr. E. S. Tennent, the agent for the Mer cantile Agency of the Carolinas, located at Wilmington, to move his office to Charlotte. Mr. Tennent was present at the meeting. No definite action was taken, and the matter will be in abey ance for some time. Charlotte will offer all reasonable inducements to Mr, Tennent, and his coming is indeed "a consummation devoutly to be wished THIS CAT DIDN'T COME BACK.

MEMBER FROM WARREN COUNTY, AN ROUNCED. Early Adjournment of Both Houses as a Mark of Bespeot to the Deoeased Bills j Introduced in the Senate. Special Star Correspondence Kaleigh, N. C. February 1. SENATE. Pursuant to adjournment, the Senate met at 11 o'clock and was called toorder by President Doughton. Prayer was offered by Rev. D. H. Tuttle. The Journal was read and approved. Mr Cook arose and announced the death of Dr. Williams, member of the House from Warren county, and moved that a committee of two on the part of tbe Senate be appointed to set with four on tbe part of the House to accom -pany tbe remains to the home in War- ren county. Mr Cook paid a touching tribute to the memory of the dead. The motion prevailed and the President ap pointed Mr Cook of Warren, and Dr. W P Munn, of Edgecombe. Mr Cook also moved that the Senate adjourn at noon in honor of tbe memoty of the de ceased member of the House and this motion also prevailed. Mr fatterson presented a petition from Pender county asking for repeal of the homestead law. Mr Sharp, a petition against interfer ence with operatives in factories. Mr Mewborn introduced a bill to re peal chapter 314 of tbe Laws of 1887; alap, a bill to establish public schools at Kinston. Mr White, a bill to amend the public school law of North Carolina. Mr Carver, a bill to author zi tbe city of Favetteville to establish and operate a system of electric lights and motive power Mr Norns. to amend the Code in re gard to buying and selling poisonous drugs.

Mr Dowd, a bill to incorporate tbe town of Silverville, Mecklenburg county; also, a bill to incorporate the town of Biddleville; also, a bill to incorporate The Retreat; also, to authorize tbe city of Charlotte to purchase tbe lair grounds. f Mr Adams.i a resolution fixing tbe hour of meeting of Senate committees. Mr Grant, a bill to amend section 3132. chapter 31. of the Code, as to the practice ot medicine. Mr Black, a bill for the better protec tion ot railroad employes. Bill to change the name of the town of Ramoth to Woolsey passed thud reading. Bill authorizing tbe Clerk of Court of New Hanover county to be absent from his office for sixty days, if necessary, to receive surgical treatment, and pro viding for a responsible deputy to act in bis place, was explained by Mr Kice. He said that Col Taylor, tbe Clerk of tbe Court, wisbed to go North to have a surgical operation performed on his eyes. Tbe bi 1 passed third reading. The Committee on Privileges and Elections reported- unfavorably as to sending committees with power to send for persons and papers to investigate tbe contested election cases of Bryan against Mercer from Edgecombe, and Harris against Green fomHalifax. Mr Kice desired to know for what reason the committee had made an un favorable report, and said that this Sen ate ought not to follow the course of the Democratic party and decide these elec tion cases without getting all the evi dence possible. Mr Carver also favored the appoint ment of committees Mr Candler moved to lay the resolu tion providing for committees on tbe table. Mr Kice called tor the ayes and nays. Tbe resolution was laid upon the table by a vote of 26 to 12. Several Senators explained their votes and Mr Kice changed bis vote from nay to aye, and announced that he did so for the purpose of moving a reconsider ation. Mr Rice moved to reconsider the vote and to lay that motion on the table, and his motion prevailed.
