Many Wilmington people will re member "Men and Women" at the Opera House two seasons since, in which Mr. William Morris sustained the leading role, and will be glad to see him again to-night in "Lost Paradise," surrounded by one of Frohman's excel lent companies. There is little doubt that an interesting and enjoyable even ing is in store for all. The company carries a car load of scenery, and will be given a magnificent and most costly presentation, as is a well known rule with the Frohman productions. "The Lost Paradise" is from the pen of those two great American dramatists, DeMille and Belasco, who have the high distinc tion of having never produced a failure. BY RIVER AND RAIL. "Ned" was one dt the eJquine war reminiscences that tookart in the Louisville R. A. R. parade.

Clinton Potter, travelling agent of the Norfolk and Southern and , the Eastern Carolina Dispatch, with head qarters at Norfolk, was united in mar riage to-day to Miss Lula Ellis, of this city, daughter of Dr. R. B. Ellis. Mr. Potter was cashier in the Internal Rev enue office in this city under ex-Collector Elisha White s administration. Mr. J. Walter Myatt, of Polenta, who brought the first bale of cotton to the Raleigh market, has brought thirty-one bales so far. Cotton is opening rapidly everywhere. Yesterday Sheriff Hodges, cf Lenoir county, arrived in the city and carried before Judge Cable papets relating to habeas corpus proceedings brought by Red Joyner, colored, who was put in Kinston jail last week without bail by a magistrate, on the charge of being an accomplice in the incendiary burning of Kinston. It will be remembered that the town was fired many times about the month of February. Detectives were put on the track and a number of arrests made. Three negroes are .now in jail and three out on J1.000 bonds. The negroes in jail squealed and "told on" Red. Joyner. Their evidence was very strong, patting most of the blame on Joyner. He thought that he should be allowed the privilege of giving bond as the others, and took out habeas corpus proceedings. Judge Cable fixed bis bond at $1,000, "and the sheriff says he can give it. Last week quite a sensation was cre ated in Kinston by the arrest of three prominent citizens. They were the first white men implicated. A trial before a magistrate failed to incriminate and they were released. still at work. The prevailing opinion is that the houses, were burned for insurance, and in some instances uninsured houses were burned, so as to hide their crime. Silver Smith Chambers says the con vention will be called to order promptly at 11 a. m. in Metropolitan haU. "If the occasion demands it by large attend ance we will go elsewhere," said he. I ran on a "maresnest" this morning while seeking Judge Whitaker's office. As the door flew open there sat around in a kind of family circle Senator Butler and Ed Chambers Smith, Walter Henry and Captain Ashe, Spier Whitaker and Congressman Shuford, and other gentle men whose features could not be distin guished. They were evidently in con ference. "Harmony" might have been a subject of discussion. I told a gentle man this morning about the gathering, and he remarked that fusion was now complete. All hands seem to think that the con vention will result in one grand, sweet, harmonious song, pledging every man to support only silverites for National and State officers in-all elections in the fu ture. Leading men of both parties tell the Star's correspondent that this will be done. Logue Harriss told me to-day that they would have to do more than this or sit down upon him. (It is very likely that they will) As has been said in the Star. Loeue has an arm full of resolu tions. The leading one is to pledge every man to support the nominee of the silver party. Logue says he will be there. Among the advance guard who have arrived are Claudius Dockery and J. S. Smith, of Rockingham, J. J. Mott. Congressman Shepard, I. F. Click, of the Hickory Mercury, Cy Thompson, W. A. Guthrie and others. Governor Carr, as chairman ' of the Board of Internal Improvements, to-day appointed directors ot the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad. Following are the appointees: W. S. Chadwick, E. E. Foy. W. T. Keogh. Chas. Dewey. Euich Wadsworth, W. L. Kennedy, sam. la thanW W. W. Carraway. The State's proxy is W. T. Dortch. Special Star Telegram. About one hundred delegates are here, a majority being Populists and Re publicans. Jarvis, Harry Skinner, Buck Kitchen, Senator Westmoreland and others are on the scene. A conference of leading silverites from each of the three parties was held this afternoon in the City Hall. Resolutions were intro duced by Captain Ashe, Spier Whitaker and Senator Butler. Captain Ashe's re solutions were general and declared for silver. Mr. Whitaker's resolutions recommended that none save silverites be selected for office. Mr. Butler's reso Itions were stronger than any and met with some opposition, especially among Democrats. He 'urged that none save avowed silverites be voted for national offices, and also advised the holding of similar conventions in all other States. His idea was rather for unity among silverites in support of a national ticket. No agreement was reached, and a committee of three was appointed to consider the resolutions and report in the morning, as follows: Ashe, Smith, MacRae, Butler, Guthrie, Whitaker, Mott, Harris and Westmoreland. There is some talk of Democrats opposing Butler's resolutions. A caucus of Democrats was held to night. No action was taken. Governor Carr and others were present. There is some under-talk of creating a new party; but the idea does not meet with favor. Later The committee of nine reached a conclusion at 11:20 o'clock to-night, accepting Senator Butler's resolutions, with a few changes. Six members were present, and Capt. Ashe alone voted against them. They declare in favor of silver, and recommend to the people to elect as national representa tives such as favor free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1; calls on sympa thisers of silver in all, other States to' hold silver non-partisan conventions. These resolutions will be presented to the conference and to the Convention. n SOUTHERN MAIL SERVICE. Holloa to Contractors by Postmaster General Wilson.

A TREAT ENTS FOR- SUITS HADE TO ORDER Wilmington. Do Not Take the Baby's Hand. How many mothers realize the injury they are doing their children by holding their-hand as they walk? You see a little tot of eighteen months or two years with its little hand and arm lifted high above its head to hold the hand of some grown person, sometimes one at either hand, and the poor little creature, in this unnatural position, with a strain on the heart muscles, to say nothing of the arms, is dragged along the street, and if that were not enough, the child is obliged with its tiny feet and legs to keep up with the pace of the parents or nurse, who never realize bow many steps the little feet have to take to their one. Let any grown person see how long ne couia walk with his . arms raised higher than his head, without hurrying, and then let him try being dragged along at full speed by some giant, four times his own size. I am afraid few could endure the strain for more than a few minutes. And yet I daily see mothers scolding their little children for crying at being dragged long distances in this barbarous manner. Children who .can walk at all should ,be allowed to walk alone or holding the hand of some other child near their own size. It is better for them in every way.i and will save many a crying fit caused by over-strain of the nerves and muscles. Exchange. If there is anything you want, ad vertise for it.
