Congressman Patterson, of Ten nessee, expresses the opinion that "the- silver craze has reached its flood and has just begun to recede," but the other side is still doing a good deal of damming, or words to that effect. , - , A Goshen, -N.

The Chinese in Paterson, N. J., are striking on the Sunday school ques tion.

When off duty on the bench Jus tice Harlan, of the U. S. Supreme Court, likes to romp with the dogs and children, and is fond of both. TTe never talks as sharply to them as rre talked to the court when he was delivering that dissenting opinion. Since Mr. Carter has delivered his opinion with so much candor on the free silver question, Eastern Repub licans of the yellow metal school say he should be bounced from the chair manship of the National committee, for a man of his views couldn'r be a safe engineer. - It is said that the Japanese do not have any tooting of horns nor bang ing of xlrums in their, armies, and no cheering or yelling or anything of that sort, but march in silence, and proceed to business in the same way when there is a fight on hand. The commands are given by signals, which they all understand. This silent way of doing business is what knocked the sand out of the Chinese so, who were not accustomed to see- '"g fighting done without beating the tom-tom and raising a terrible racket.

The South-' does not want, and does not need the free and unlimited and un conditional coinage of silver. Some men are very thoughtless. An old fellow who died in Michi gan recently is giving his heirs any amount of trouble hunting up the different names he used when depos iting his money in banks, for taking different names was one of his freaks. Millionaire Baker, who died in New York last June, didn't need much to make him happy.

" Several gentlemen who take a lively interest in the project of holding the next Fair of the State Horticultural So ciety in Wilmington had an informal conference in regard to the matter in the counting room of Messrs. George R. French & Son yesterday afternoon. It . was decided to call a meeting at The Orton on Triday next, at 12 o'clock, noon, of those interested in the matter and a large attendance is expected there on that occasion. Mr. Gerald McCarthy, Secretary of the State Horticultural Society, in a let ter to Mr. Heinsberger, Jr., says : "The fair wiH be held about the first week In August! lasting two or three days. The Society has usually required the suc cessful bidder to furnish free and deco rate a suitable hall; also to guarantee the premium list; but this is a safe plan, as Guarantee has never been called upon the fair paying all its expenses. ut this year we desire if possible to get not only a guarantee but a donation of least half of the premium fund, so as have a surplus for carrying on the work of the Society." A RUMOR DENIED. The Humor that Mr. H. M. Emeraon Would Go ftom the Coaat Line to the Seaboard Atr Iiine is Authoritatively Donied. Yesterday, says the News and Courier, an afternoon paper published as a rumor a story -to the effect that Mr. H. M. Em erson, assistant traffic manager of the Atlantic Coast Line, had been offered and would accept the position ot traffic manager of the Seaboard Air Line sys tem. The officials of the Atlantic Coast Line had heard nothing of any such charge in Mr. Emerson's plans and po sition, and it was thought exceedingly strange that if the story was true Mr. Emerson had not spoken to his many friends in Charleston regarding it. Mr. Emerson is one ot the best known and most popular railroad men who come to this city. No one would have been surprised if the Seaboard Air Line or any other big system had wanted his services as its traffic manager, but it was thought strange that such an important change could have taken place or even been contemplated without the knowl edge of Mr. Emerson's Charleston friends and admirers. When the rumor was published yesterday afternoon Mr. Emerson was telegraphed to. He was told of the rumor, and at once replied as follows: Wilmington, N. C, May 27. The News and Courier, Charleston, S. C: Your message this date; no truth in report referred to. H. M. Emerson. NEW YORK TRUCK MARKETS.

Mr. Bellamy said that the object of the meeting might be best stated in the words used in calling for the meeting, viz: We, the undersigned, citizens of Wil mington, N. C, desiring that our people shall have a full and fair expression of the popular will upon the great currency question now agitating the people ol our common country, and it having gone forth to the world that the people of this city are committed to the gold standard by reason of certain resolutions passed by the Produce Exchange of this city on May 17th, 1895, do hereby respectfully call a mass meeting of all friends of the cause of free coinage of silver at the ratio ot 16 to 1 without waiting for any other nation to express their sentimcntson this important question. Mr. Allan B. Brown was elected secre tary. It was moved and seconded that a committee of three be appointed by the chair to draft resolutions. The following Committee on Resolu tions was accordingly appointed: B. F. Keith, R. K. Bryan, Jr., and W. B. Mc Koy. Mr. Jno. D. Bellamy, Jr.. responded to a general call at some length. He spoke of the importance of the question, and of its speedy settlement, and traced the fi nancial history of the United States fron 1792 to the present time. He said that from 1792 to 1873, under an unlimi ted coinage, the country enjoyed the greatest prosperity, and that immedi ately alter the demonetization of silver in 1873 financial trouble, ensued and has been present ever since. He said that America had been the first country to demonetize silver and that the world is waiting on her to re-establish it. That France, Germany, and other countries would immediately follow her example He was frequently applauded. The following resolutions were pre sented by the Committee on Resolu tions, through Mr. B. F. Keith, who spoke in their favor : Whereas, believing that the peace and prosperity of the United States de pend upon equal and just laws to govern all alike, and believing that the restora tion of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 is neces sary to restore the peace and prosperity ot our country, we here resolve : 1st. That we form ourselves into a bimetallic league for the purpose of pro moting this cause to the full extent ot our ability and influence. 2nd. That we will fight this question out on its own merits. 3rd. That we invite all lovers of liberty and justice to join us in thus removingfrom the statute books of the United States one of the most damnable and unjust laws that was ever imposed upon us through bribery and treachery, or by pay other means since the founda tion of our Government. 4th. And that we elect one vice presi dent and five executive committeemen from each ward, and ask that the citi zens of ea :h township do the same in their respective townships; and that they come together and elect their chairman and formulate some plan by which we may carry forward this great and im portant work. 5th. As free and independent citizens of these United States, we here enter our protest against tbe dignity of the high office of tbe Chief Magistrate being allowed, by using it as a patronage ma chine, to further the cause of the Roths child and Wall street bankers. B. F. Keith, R. K. Bryan, Jr., W. B. McKoy, Committee. Mr. Allan B. Brown, seconded the resolutions, and read several extracts on the subject. Mr. R. K.

May 21. Captain W. H. Northrop, Commanding Wilmington Light Infantry, Wil mington,,N. C. Dear Sir The undersigned officers. present in their several official capaci ties upon the parade in Raleigh on the 20th of May, desire to express to you their warm appreciation of your un selfishness in declining to take command of the Second Regiment on that occa sion, although entitled to do so as rank ing officer, in order that you might re main with the "Wilmington battalion. Your action not only added to our pleas ure in the parade, but resulted in en abling Wilmington to make an exceedingly creditable display probably the most enective of the day and has additionally brought our respective commands into that close touch of brotherly feeling which will, we trust, enable us to always work harmoniously together for what ever tends to promote the honor and prosperity of our city. With the kind est regards, we have the honor to be, very respectfully yours, On the part of tbe Naval Reserves: Geo. L. Morton, Lt. Commander Nav. Bat.; E. S. Latimer, Pay Master Nav. Bat.; Jas. C.

Gentlemen I have read your com munication of the 21st inst. with a great deal of pleasure, and beg that you will accept my sincere thanks for your kind words. I do not think my action in the matter merited such praise, for it was not so much the unselfishness in de clining the command of the Second Regiment, as the great pleasure it afforded me in being able to continue as a part of the "Wilmington Battalion." The parade was not strictly a military affair, so I felt that I had the privilege of choosing as I did. It was a source of great gratifica tion to me to note the harmony that ex isted between our respective commands, and I earnestly hope that this kindly feeling will ever continue, so that our mutual interests may be promoted, and thereby increase the honor and prosper ity of our city. Again thanking you, and with kind regard. I am, very respectfully, W. H. Northrop. Jr., Capt. Commanding Wil. Light Infantry. A CARD. On our return from our bridal tour the members and friends of the Young Men's Christian Association gave us a hand some token of their friendship. Again they added to our obligation by sending bountiful supplies to the pantry on the day we went to our new home. Our hearts are full of tender gratitude. We do not deserve and did not expect any such expression of good-will. We can not speak in person our thanks. Will they then, each and every one, accept this public word of appreciation? Arjd may we say that, God helping us, we hope in future to deserve something of their continuea gooa-wiii i Mr. and Mrs. Thos. C. Diggs. Wilmington, N. C May 28, 1895. Star 1895. RALEIGH HAPPENINGS.

Brady, and Joe Vendig, the representative of tbe Florida Athletic Club. There was a good deal of lightning in the air and Corbett seemed anxious to bring on a fight on the spot, but Fitzsimmons was cool and sarcastic and did not respond to Corbett's advances. He allowed his lawyer to do most of the talking. Fitzsimmons was asked by Vendig when he proposed to post the $5,000 to guarantee his appearance in the ring. "When the place and date of the bat tle are announced by the club we will put up $5,000 with P. J. Dwyer. the stakeholder, answered friend. "Sign articles that you'll do this, yelled Corbett. "Sign nothing," replied Fitzsimmons, with a grin. "That will suit me exactly," said Ven dig. "It does not suit me," Corbett re torted. "IH take Mr. Friend's word, and I represent the' club," Vendig replied firmly. Corbett then, upon the advice of Bra dy, agreed to the inevitable. When it appeared that Corbett was rushing mat ters with Fitsimmons, Vendiz said he had given his word that there should be no trouble in the room, and be meant to keep his word. It was then agreed that the men should settle their differences in the ring. Corbett left the room, but returned a few moments later and apologized to Lawyer Friend for anything he might have said. Vendig is confident that he can pull the battle off and will name the place and day oh July 1. Corbett will begin training at Asbury Park at once. Fitzsimmons says that he will not be gin work until his Syracuse trouble is over and he knows where and when he is to fight. If there is anything you want, ad vertise for it.
