It is said that the Defender which will defend the America cap will be an out-and-out keel boat, built of maganese bronze and aluminum. Although the quarrying of marble is carried on In only one county in Georgia, that State ranks second among the marble-producing States of this country, Vermont being first. The product in 1894 was worth $716, 885 against $261,666 for 1893. Great Britain owes about $3,300, 000,000, but she isn't in a hurry about paying it and those to whom it is due are satisfied as long as they get the interest. Great Britian has always been run on the tick plan. Be careful how you lick an envel ope. If you can't resist the tempta tion to lick something, go out and lick a small boy. A man in Chicago the other day licked an envelope, cut his tongue and died from blood poisoning. Mr. Crisp says that financial legis lation must in its nature be in the way of an experiment, and candidly admits that there is a good deal in that question which he has not mas tered. This is an exhibition of mod esty on the part of Mr. Crisp in striking, contrast to the egotism of those who know it all. Senator Allison, whom the Repub licans of Iowa are booming for the Presidential nomination, says he can't see where President Cleveland stands on the silver question. Per haps Mr. Allison would oblige an in quiring public to let it know where he stands on that question, for al though he has done some talking on it he hasn't said yet. When John Jacob Astor heard that Mr. ' Dolan retired from the restau rant business with $800,000, made out of hash and other sundries, he concluded that hash was a good in vestment and immediniely decided to start a restaurant to get back some of the money Wm.

The Greensboro Record has been enlarged from' a six to a seven col umn paper, an evidence of prosperity upon which we congratulate It, and on which it deserves to be congratu lated, for it has earned it. There is no better afternoon paper published in North Carolina. Many attempts have been made to establish daily papers in Greensboro, but the Record Nsthe only one that has succeeded, which is another proof of its solid merit. An Indiana couple which recently had a triplet addition of girls to the family, and called them respectively Ruth, Esther and Frances, were pre sented by Mr. Cleveland with $500 to help educate the girls if they live. This is practical and substantial en couragement of one of the infant .in dustries anyway. N EW ADVBBTISEMEJSTS . T. H. Wright Bicycles'. Dozier & Lee Groceries. W. & W. R. R. Dividend notice. J. H.

Picked Up By a Star Bepresentative on the Shooting Grounds Yesterday. - The frequent bell-ringing at the trap shoot is very discomforting to some of the contestants. As this is a legal holiday there will be a large attendance at the" tourna ment during the forenoon. Pritchard ''astonished the natives," as well as himself, when he made a score of fourteen out of fifteen targets. Several members of the Wilmington Club distinguished themselves by. mak ing a score of fourteen out of a possible fifteen.. Fonda, of Greensboro, was the champion yesterday, shattering fifteen clay pigeons without a break, paradoxi cal as it may seem. For a one-armed man, sportsman Schmidt is one of the best wing shots ever seen in Wilmington. Ana ne is fat, hearty, jovial and genial. - The traps of the Inter-State Asso ciation, used yesterday, give the birds a slower flight than do those of the home club. All of which is thankfully received by the members of the h. c. Sbaner, of the "smoky City." is op to date in everything pertaining to the management of a trap shoot.

Friday being a State holiday, ail State buildings and banks will be closed. The exercises here will be very appropriate. Capt. C. B. Denson will deliver an ad dress on the Life and Character of Gen. W. H.C. Whiting. The speaking will be at Metropolitan Hall where some of the best vocalists in the city will partic ipate in the ceremony. A procession will be formed, including the Governor and his staff, prominent citizens, city officers, and military organizations, which ' will proceed to the cemeteries where Confederates are buried and dec orate the graves. Mr. Augustus Bradley, a prominent pharmacist, writes an open letter taking to task Dr. John a. Carr lor holding the position of pharmacist at the Insane Asylum. Mr. Bradley accuses Dr. Carr of evading the spirit of the law in hold ing the position of pharmacist. He also calls on him to resign. The concert Friday night promises to be one of unusual importance. Many artists from difierent Southern States will be here to participate. Mitteldorfer, the Richmond deco rator, began to ornament the stores to day with bunting, flags, etc. Those decorated make a handsome appearance. The executive committee of the btate Fair meets here to-night. Mr. J. S. Carr, the President of the Association, is already here. Unless the citizens of Raleigh put up $2,500 there will prob ably be no State Fair. It is thought that the amount can be secured with some effort on behalf of the managers. At a meeting of the Board of Direc tors of the Y. M. C. A.. Mr. T. Henry Briggs was elected President of the Association, The directors decided to equip the building with a complete up-to-date system ol baths. Mr. Fab. Busbee, who represented Ewart in his contest for the Judgeship, said he did not see how Cook could win his case. Mr. Busbee also said that Cook's case was not near so strong a one as Ewart's. Mr. Robert Stiles, of Richmond, the attorney for the Western Union, has asked the Clerk of the Supreme Court for an entire copy of the record of the case of Leavel vs. the W. U. T. Co. It will be remembered that the Supreme Court decided against the telegraph company charging 50 cents for a mes sage from here to Elizabeth City. The company has never complied with the Court s decision, ana the omcers have been summoned to appear be fore the Railway Commission on the 21st, for contempt. The action of Mr. Stiles in securing a record of the case is thought to be the first step to wards carrying the matter to the United States Supreme Court. Mr. W. C. McMackm, the newly elect ed Street Commissioner for the City of Raleigh, has not accepted the position. and he says, he thinks he will not do so. Mr. McMackin is at present at the head of the construction of roads for the township on a larger salary than he would receive from the city. The Supreme Court heard arguments to-day in the case of the Durham Con solidated Land and Improvement Com pany vs. Guthrie. There are only two more cases on docket excluding the Cook-Meares case. They are Logan vs. N. C. Railroad from Guilford; Hargrave vs. Harris from Granyille. NEW YORK TRUCK MARKETS. Fall and Reliable Beporta of Markets For Southern Fruits and Vegetables.

Comments of the Two Leading Papers of South Carolina on the Decision in the Dispensary Case. The Charleston News and Courier of yesterday says : If Judge Simonton's decision in the dispensary case of Donald be sustained by the United States Supreme Court it will knock a very big hole in the law. We believe that it will be sustained by the Supreme Court, and that it marks the beginning of the end of the whole disgraceful business. From the first the News and Courier has pointed out the interference 'clause of the law with Inter-State commerce as tbe weakest point, and has never doubted that it would be declared unconstitu ional when it should be put fairly to tbe test. But while it is lawful under the decision of the Court for persons, to or der liquors for their own private use it is not lawful for any person, firm, or cor poration to engage in the liquor traffic Would-be dealers should not lose sight of this fact. The whole law will doubtless be overthrown in time, as it should be, but the present decision of the United States Court applies to only one part of tbe law. Individuals can buy and import all they rt quire for pri vate consumption, but no one can en gage in the business of selling l.quor without violating the law. It is well to remember this in the midst of the gen eral rejoicing, The Columbia State comments as fol lows: The decision on tbe dispensary case is relatively unimportant in contrast io that which restores to so many thou sands of South Carolinians the power to vote, but considered alone it is of great significance. No one who read in the State tbe two pages of Federal decisions cited by Mr. Bryan can tail to recognize tbe fact that the judgment of the court yesterday was in accord with the established doc trine of the Supreme Court ot the United States. Wc have the strongest reason for saying that in spite ot the assumed surprise and indigna tion of Governor Evans, such a decision was expected. The only hope the ad ministration bad was that the court might decide that it did not possess ju risdiction. The decision tolls the knell of tbe dis pensary system, with all its tyrannies. The gates of the State once opened to the importation of liquors, the dispen sary will be starved out by competition. Between outside liquors of good quality at current market rates and dispensary liquors of inferior quality at double prices it will be easy for the citizen to decide. The revenues of the State bar room will decrease rapidly, while its ex penses will be maintained, for the con stabulary will have occupation enough in preventing sales of contraband stuff. As the institution is one for revenue and not for morality, it will not be main tained when it ceases to promise profits. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Ice Cream Soda Water.
