Senator Palmer regards the sug gestion of the possible nomination of Gen. Schofield for the Presidency as "a beautiful dream," while Gen. Schofield says he hasn't laid awake nights thinking about it, or words to that effect. It isn't, however, one of Senator Ingalls' iridescent dreams. The Empress of Austria doesn't like flowers, and it makes her as mad as a hornet to decorate her apartments with them, which unsus pecting people sometime? do when she travels. But the flowers grow as beautiful and smell as fragrant as if he showered her imperial smiles upon them. Hon. Michael D. Harter, ex-M. C, or Jhio, thinks we can plug up the hole tn the revenue made by knock ing the income tax out, by increasing the tax on tobacco, beer, whiskey, tea and coffee. He proposes to make these articles pay about $90,000,000 more tax, which would wipe out the deficiency and leave a surplus of about $40,000,000. A cable dispatch from Berlin quotes Herr Bismarck as saving that he favors bimetallism, and took posi tion against it when Chancellor be cause be surrendered his judgment to the" opinions of experts in finances, the very thing that some of our American statesmen are now doing.

The main ball in the school building was crowded to overflowing with the parents and friends of the children. The stage was prettily decorated with flowers and potted plants. The exercises consisted of songs, instrumental music, recitations and charades. The performance of the children was of a highly favorable char acter, and reflected much credit on both teachers and pupils. The School Com mittee, las. F. Post, Jr., chairman. W. H. Sprunt and Jas. H. Sampson, were present and were pleased with the enter tainment. The committee have taken a great deal of interest in this school and took occasion to compliment the efficient superintendent ot city schools, Prof. M. C. S. Noble, and the principal, las. B. Dudley, on .the past year's work. We doubt if there is a better conducted pub lic school amongst the colored people in the State, and our local school authori ties claim more than this, for tbey think naturally that is the best.

Cloains Exorcises et Union Bchool Entei- tiinment by the PapUa An Elaborate Programme The Participant, Etc. Again last night the people of Wil mington turned out to pay respect to and show their interest in public school work, the occasion being the closing ex ercises ot Union School. An elaborate programme had been arranged. The hall was crowded from door to door and not even standing room was left, acd besides several hundred people could not even get in hearing dis tance. Among the audience were those who have worked so faithfully and ar duously in public school management, among them Capt H A Bagg and Mr B G Worth, of the County Board of Education; Capt E W Manning, County Superintendent of Public Instruction; Messrs Jas F Post, Jr, and W H Sprunt, Committee ot School District No. 1, and Mr W H Chadbourn, of District No. 2. Professor Nobles introduced the ex ercises by a short address, closing by say ing that on account of good lessons, con duct, and having gone as far as possible in the schools here, the following young ladies had been presented with graduat ing diplomas: Miss Olivia Sutton, of Hemingway school, and Misses Augusta Wiggins, Katie Sholar, Gerta Bonitz, Emma Cook, and Bessie Fillyaw. The entertainment opened with the Hoop Drill" by the Primary class, par ticipated in by several little tots as fol lows. Hoop Drill Lucy Poisson, Blanche Parsley, Bessie Watters, Ray Soloman, Annie Holmes, Margaret Harriss, Katie Fleet, Isabel Williams, Fannie Murchi- son, Jennie.Murchison, Jane Iredell, Lois Toomer, Mary Bell, Jennie Jack son, Atba Hicks, Maria Mamtt, Mary Black, Nannie Holiday, Beulah Ander son, Claudia Hewlett, Nettie Ketchum, Nannie Doyle, Lillian Williams, Mary Hoge. Second was the club swinging exer cises which showed skillful training and was applauded throughout. The follow ing were the swingers : Clnb Swinging Norcrum Shepherd, Lena Solyman, Sallie Jackson, Bessie Henkin, Gertrude Watroas, Addie Davis, Lizzie Robinson, Bessie Fillyaw The third part was the Boat Dri which was much enjoyed by all present and was acted in a nice manner, while the entire group with their picnic baskets sang sweet songs as the different ma noeuvres were gone through, represent ing a regular boat party, by the following scholars: Louis Hewlett, George Moore, Roy LeGwin, Isabel Belden, Sadie Wil liams, Ethel Hopkins, Viola Bear. Sallie Oldham, Katie LeGwin, Sidney Rhein stein, Edna Toomer. Bessie Russ, Fannie Doyle. Ida Poigott, Norwood Orrell Mabel Littleton, Lida Holmes, Zach Bell, Nora Brittain, Lizzie Kirkham, Gracie Graig, Carrie Sale Hardwick, Carl Fick, Bertha Steljes. The next on the programme was "Chronothantolethron," an operatta, which was filed with fun laughable, and one of the best pieces ever delivered at a school entertainment in Wilmington. The following were the characters, who all deserve much praise and credit for superb acting: - "Genius," Gerda Bonitz; "Inventress," Davy Duffy; "Sarah," Henrietta Shep ard; "Pharaoh's Daughter," Hattie Penny; "Cornelia," Lulu Sneeden: "Cleo patra," Mary Plummer, "Queen Eliza beth,1' Katie Sholar; "Mother Bicker- dick," Sallie McRee; "St. Cecelia," Ethel Barnes; "Hypatia." Grace White; Agnesi," Ida Gaslin; "Pocahontas," Bevy Wilder; "Joan. de Arc," Emma Cook; "Sappho," Lillian Fulford; "Mrs. Washington," Bessie Taylor." Too much cannot be said of the fault less acting of Miss Davy Duffy, who won the admiration of all present as "In ventress." Miss Sallie McRee as "Mother Bickerdick," proved herself a comedenne of rare qualities, and with Miss Hattie Penny as "Pharaoh's Daughter," kept the audience in a con tinual uproar. Miss Gerta Bonitz as "Genius," Miss Mary Plummer as "Cleopatra," and Miss Henrietta Shepard as "Sarah," deserve special mention for their clever impersonations. The teachers Misses Nellie Cook. Webb, Bagby. Alderman, Eliza Meares and Belle Anderson who arranged the' affair should feel proud of the manner in which it was carried out without an error or blunder. Mr. H. A. Bagg, upon invita tion, mounted the rostrum ana after a few complimentary re marks about the school work in this county, presented Miss Henrietta Shep ard with a beautiful gold ring from the School Board for her efficient services as pianist during the session. The clever and gentlemanly ushers were wiuie riui. rranKmgg, naray LeGwin, Lester Branch, Ernest Glenn, Harry McGirt, Edward Nelson, James Jackson. A Bmall Fire.

STATE BANKS OF ISSUE. A Leading Paper Thinks It the Only Meuure that Will Seoure Permanent Belief. The Columbia State agrees with the Star in the opinion that the free bank ing principle is the real measure ot re- lief from the present financial troubles. But the Star does not agree with the State in the opinion that the extremists on either side can keep the State bank issue out of the campaign. The State says: "Atlanta bankers who attended the 'Sound Money' convention at Memphis, claim that the whole thing was run by politicians, and that a proposition offered by them to repeal the ten per cent tax was unceremoniously sup pressed. It is hardly probable that be tween the extremists on either side this free banking principle will be'able to ap pear in the campaign, but its advocates. nevertheless, should endeavor to push it on all occasions, as it is the only meas ure that will secure permanent relief from financial perplexities. STEAMSHIP COMPETITION. Bmnored That the Plant fSyatem Will to Sea. A rumor was current in railroad cir cles yesterday, says the News and Cour ier, that before another year has .passed the Plant system would be operating a regular line of steamers between either Charleston or Savannah and New York. How much foundation there is for such a belief cannot be said. Several railroad men who were spoken to on the subject admitted that they had heard such a re port, but-Bone of them had any positive information confirming or denying it. There can be no question of the fact that the general belief prevails that President Plant has some such enter prise under consideration, and there are several very good arguments to support such an opinion. The rumor has it that President Plant means to set up an energetic competition to the Ocean Steamship Company, of Savannah, and the Clyde Line, of this place and Jack sonville, by means of a through route to New York, which will be part water and part rail. Star SALEM FEMALE COLLEGE. Tribute to the Lata Senator Zibalon B. Vance-A Memorial Window Placed in the Colleab Chapel Presented with Ap propriate Cerentoniea. Special Star Telegram , Winston, May 29. To-day marked ah event that will be memorable in the history of Winston-Salem. In connec tion with the ninety-third Commence ment exercises of Salem Female Col lege for girls in the South, the first per manent tribute erected in the State in honor of North Carolina's most beloved son, the late Zebulon B. Vance, was for mally presented to the trustees of that institution with appropriate and impo sing ceremonies. It was a large and ar tistic memorial window, which was pur chased and placed in the college chapel by the 1894 graduating class. The win dow was presented by Hon. J. G. Bux ton, of Winston, who made a strong and touching address. His portrayal of the dead Senator's life was grand and beautiful. He said that Sena tor Vance, when asked to give the secret for his great hold on the people of his native State, replied, "I have never deceived them." Bishop Bond- thaler, of the Moravian Church, accepted the window, for the trustees, in a splendid and appropriate address. Mrs. Vance together with a large number of friends and admirers of the beloved Senator witnessed the interest ing and impressive ceremonies. To-morrow is Commencement day proper of the old Moravian school. The oration will be delivered by Mr. James W. Beck, a law partner of the well known politician, William S. Harrity, Esq., of Philadelphia. He arrived to day. Diplomas will be presented to fifty three graduates, the largest class in the history of the school. The grand musi cal concert came oft to-night.
