The lands they own are some of the best in the State, but the red skins are too high-toned to work and pre fer to get their living by begging. Occasionally they corral a lot of dogs and have a dog feast and a good time. Reforming an Indian isn't easy, es pecially when reform has any of the elements of work in it. Gen. Phil Sheridan, who had some familiarity with the Indians, once remarked that the only really good Indian was a dead one. We are indebted to the American Bimetallic League, Sun building, Washington, D. C, for two pamph lets on the silver question one enti tled "Shylock. asBanker.Bondholder Corruptionist, Conspirator," the other, "The Anarchists of Wealth," both by Gordon Clark, an able and vigorous writer, who is intensely in earnest in his championship of silver, and denunciation of the methods by which it was demonetized and de graded. There are some pretty mean thieves in this country, but the meanest on record was the well dressed fellow in New York who sent a little match peddler in Chicago to change a $50 Confederate bill for him and then sneaked off with the little fellow's basket of matches. It would be hard to match that fellow for double-distilled meanness. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Tivoli Hofbrau beer. Cash Paid for beeswax. M. Cronly Tax-listing. D. O'Connor For rent.

The Wilmington markets are pretty well stocked just now with everything that grows in the neighborhood .at this season in the way of vegetables and fruits. There is a very good variety of fish to be had, poultry is plenty, though not especially fine, and the meat mar kets offer a fair lot of excellent beef, lamb, veal and pork." ' Cantaloupes are scarce. The crop is late. A few have appeared in market from near-by farms and sold readily at high prices. Watermelons are also late and growers say will not be in market before the middle of July. A car-load of Georgia melons was on sale yesterday and brought good prices. Plums, huckleberries and blackberries can be bought for 5c per quart and a few peaches (inferior stock) at 5 to 10c per quart. The supply of poultry is about suffi cient to meefthe demand and prices are well sustained. Grown fowls sell at 80 to 40c each and Spring chickens from 12 to 20c. Eggs are abundant at 12Jc per dozen.

A good many people in Raleigh are interested in base ball and are much dis appointed because of the failure to es tablish a State League early in the sea son, a good idea would be to;arrangea series of games on the plan proposed by the Wilmington management. The annual report of the Auditor for the past year was such an excellent one that the supply has been exhausted and the demand was so great that an extra edition of 500 copies has been struck off.

I Hlblaok, of the Havy BeoepUon " a the Pnroell-Entertalned by Mayor Fishblate at WrichtsvUle Beach. The inspection of the Naval Reserves ot Wilmington took place yes'terday afternoon on the monitor Nantucket, at her berth across the river. The buoy tender Wisteria brought the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Mr. McAdoo. and Lieut. Niblack to the city from Charleston. They were met by the officers of the Reserves, and tendered courtesies at the Cape Fear Club. In the afternoon an informal luncheon was given in honor of the visitors in the parlors of the Purcell House. The gathering was strictly informal. After refreshments were partaken of the offi cers repaired to the dock at the foot of Mulberry street where the crew of the Captain's gig conveyed the party to the monitor Nantucket. ' The Secretary expressed himself as very much pleased at the fine bearing and conduct of the men of the Wilmington Division, in their manning of the gig and their soldiery conduct in the management of the guiss during the firing of the salute in honor of the dis tinguished visitors. The Secretary con demned the monitor as an unseaworthy ship, for that her steering-gear was out of order and that only one of her anchors could be used. He proposed to bring this matter to the at tention of his superior, the Secretary of the Navy, While the Secretary bad only words of praise for the Reserves, he con demned the vessel as incapable, without a heavy expenditure, of fulfilling any useful purpose. A heavy thunder-storm brought the demonstration to a close. The Bessie May brought the officers of the battalion to the city.' The Secretary and Lieut. Niblack with a number of prominent citizens went to the Sound last night on a special train tendered by Mr. Latimer, of the Seacoast Railroad. Mr. McAdoo will leave for Norfolk this morning to rejoin the Dolphin, thence to continue his inspection of the naval militia in the Northern States. At the Sound last night the visitors were entertained by Mayor Fishblate. Toasts were given and responded to by gentlemen present, and in response to a toast by Mayor Fishblate, Mr. McAdoo said he was much pleased with the ap pearance of the naval militia, and not at all surprised at their excellent showing, knowing as he did the exceedingly able gentleman who was at their head, emi nently qualified as that gentleman was in a professional way. The naval militia of the country was as yet somewhat in an evolutionary state. To what degree of proficiency they would yet attain, and. what would be found to be the most practicable field for them as an auxiliary naval force, would be hard to say. They certainly were a most excellent element and powerful factor to the national defence. They are primarily a State organiza tion, and anything done for them by the State would certainly meet with great returns in the State having the very best of military organizations to uphold its domestic peace and dignity, and be in time of war an invincible shield to its coast. The North Carolina militia are second to none in intelligence, patriot ism and enthusiasm, and any young man will be a better citizen and a better man by the military training and habits of obedience taught in such an organization. The Navy Depart ment are in hearty accord with the organization, as they knew well the splendid military personnel of the old Commonwealth. I bespeak for them good local support. They do good honest, hard work, and deserve encour agement. With a small sum at the com mand of the Department we have to look after about 3,000 men in this great country, and therefore local support is essential. This country, the richest in the world, has over 12.000 miles of nearly unde fended seacoast, and to its defence this militia can be of the greatest aid. These organizations are being supplied with the very best and most powerful military weapons, and in this age 100 well armed disciplined men are equal to 1,000 ill armed or poorly disciplined ones, how ever brave the latter may be. Mr. McAdoo said he was much impressed with the fine business activity of Wil mington, its great geographical advan tages and its pleasant and progressive aspect, and deeply thankful for the many courtesies and kindnesses extended to him while here. Commander Wmslow, in replying to Mr. McAdoo's remarks, stated that all present knew, of course, that the Naval Battalion of the State was part of the State Guard; that primarily its services were at the command of the State in exactly the same way as any other or ganization of the Guard. That aside from that duty his general idea had been to develop so far as possible the defence of what was generally considered impor tant strategic points. That the United States had spent a large sum of money upon the improvement of the Cape Fear river; that the "cruise" of last year was an attempt to demonstrate the ability of the North Carolina Battalion to defend the Cape Fear and its entrance. Thatjjthis or next year he hoped to develop a plan through which the Battalion would show that it could occupy and defend Beaufort and Ora coke inlets; that he regarded the naval militia movement as the most important advance in the scheme of National de fence which has been made. Comman der Winslow also said that, in behalf of the NavalBattalion, hejwishedjto express its appreciation of the interest shown by the presence of the distinguished visitor; that he eould also say that no one was better aware of their deficiencies than members of the Bat talion; but they assured the Secretary that whatever they had done, they had done the best they could. ID In concluding his remarks Comman der Winslow stated that the interest of Mr. McAdoo in the naval militia move ment was too well known to need com ment, but that he wished to say that at the meeting of officers of the naval mili tia of the country in New York, when no other mottoes except of a business char acter were considered, and where eleven States were represented, a resolution was unanimously adopted, thanking Mr. McAdoo for his good offices. Mayor Fishblate said that for the citi zens of Wilmington he would say that they were much gratified by the visit of the distinguished guests, and had they had longer notice they would have done more lor their entertainment. That the city of Wilmington felt great interest in the Naval Battalion and would support it. That he hoped for its prosperity and especially for that of his distinguished guest who he hoped to see the next Governor of New Jersey. Lieut. Commander Morton stated that Senator Ransom had said that he had been able to do almost anything for North Carolina, and Wilmington espe cially, but that be could not run the Navy Department. Mr. Morton hoped that the officers present having seen our river wculd agree with our citizens that the occasional presence of a U. S. man-of-war was at least possible, and hoped that it would be accomplished. Mr. Sol. C. Weill said that while there was a good deal of foolishness about military matters, he was sure that the Light Infantry and Naval Reserves would always come to the front. AMONG THE TRUCKERS. Crops Backward bat Doing Well The Potato Crop Though Small Sold at Good Prices. Mr. C. H. Heide, a successful truck farmer of New Hanover countv. savs the yield of potatoes this season has not been so large as expected, on account of heavy rains early in the Spring, but prices were better, and taking the aver age, farmers have done tolerably well. The later crops, such as tomatoes and cantaloupes, are looking better than could have been expected from the lateness of the season. Mr. Heide says he thinks it would be a good thing if the farmers in this section would send to the Star some account of their success and lack of success with different crops grown for shipment to Northern markets; it would be informa tion of value to many. Mr. W. F. Alcxander of Middle Sound, in the city yesterday, reports crops generally backward; but com ing out wonderfully now. WORK OF MOONSHINERS. Grist and Sawmill Burned Fruit Trees and Grapevines Destroyed. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. C, June 22. Kelly's grist and sawmill, near New Hill, Chat ham countv, was destroyed by fire this week. About 150 trees and many grapevines in the orchard of W. J. Olive, U. S. dep uty collector, residing near New Hill, were destroyed by cutting bark from them. The neighborhood is pretty certain that the work was done by moonshiners. Several were up in the last Federal Court. Kelly and Olive were instru mental in breaking up a number of dis tilleries. It is known that moonshiners have made threats against them. The community is indignant. Jap Johnson, the notorious moonshiner, who was ar rested recently and who is under $500 bond, lives in the community and is sus pected. DIED. S. S.

THE CAROLINA MUTUAL Fire Insurance Company, of Charlotte, N. C. The CAROLINA MUTUAL is a strong NORTH CAROLINA Com pany. It is, however, a stock com pany, and issues absolutely non-participating and non-assessable poli cies. Its mutual feature consists In a charter provision, that one-third of its directors must be POLICY HOLDERS who are NOT stock holders elected by the POLICY HOLDERS; this is a very strong point, the policy-holders who have great interests at stake, have a share in the management of the Company, and will always know its condition. Better than this, the CAROLINA MUTUAL deposits all premiums re ceived at this agency to their credit with the WILMINGTON SAVINGS AND TRUST COMPANY. This makes It practically a local company. The directors of the company are : P. M. BROWN, Of Brown, Weddington & Co., Wholesale Hardware. E. B. SPRINGS, Of E. B. Springs & Co., Fertilizers and Wagons. M. P. PEGRAM, Cash'r First Nat'l Bank of Charlotte. B. D. HEATH, Of Heath Brothers, Bankers. SAM'L E. WHITE. President Fort Mill Man'f'g Co. A. C. SUMMERVILLE, Lumber and Real Estate. J. T. ANTHONY, Wholesale Provisions and Grain. JOHN W. MILLER, Real Estate and Cotton Broker. HERIOT CLARKSON, Of Clarkson & Duls, Att'ys-at-Law. These gentlemen stand among the wealthiest and most successful business men of North Carolina, and their names are a guarantee of the Company's honesty, conservatism and success.
