Auditorium. " , The Y. M. C A. has arranged a series f "Popular Talks," to be given from time to time in its auditorium, and the first of these talks was given last night to a most flattering audience, for mch an inclement night. Tbe subject was, "The Discussion of the Venezuelan Boundary," - and the speaker. Dr. Hoge, a deep and profound thinker, fully competent to handle' this most important question. Dr. Hoge, from beginning to end bf his discourse, was Interesting, and, while the suoject is naturally a dry one, yet he entertained his audience as well as enlightened tbem.upon this moment tuous problem that may cause a war between the two great English-speaking nations of the earth.. His solution of tbe boundary question was concise and explanatory, and his conclusion was that England, had a more1 positive prool of her claim than Venezuela, and that his confidence in the commission as sured him that the matter of the boun- i dary would be settled satisfactorily to all, concerned. . Dr. Hoge. explained the Monroe doc-: trine very clearly, and his complimentary remarks of Mr. Cleveland as to his posi tion on this question, as. well as the President's many other steps of impor tance, were received with applause. The Y. M. C. A. is to be congratulated on securing Dr. Hoge to lecture on one ot the most vital questions of tbe day. Rev. Dr. Strange has consented to lec ture on the ''Armenian Trouble," in the near future, and tickets will be issued to the members of the Association as soon as a date can be arranged. Charity 8nndr. The Star has been requjsted to call the attention of the citizens of the com munity to the fact that to morrow is Charity Sunday for the city of Wil mington. '.The ministers of the differ ent churches have agreed on the third Sunday in January as the day for taking up collections for tbe help of the poor in the city, under the direction bf tbe Associated Charities. In many cities in this country and England Charity, or Hospital, Sunday is a fixed and well known day, contribu tions are made in all the churches, and the work of practical charity is helped forward very considerably. The Associated Charities has been doing its good work-were quietly and ad mirably for the past two years. It has the full approbation of our business and professional men. We give it cur hearty endorsement, and we hope every man and woman at church will show bis or her endorsement by a liberal contri bution. Those who can't go, send their offerings by others.

' Raleigh, N. C; Jan. 17, 1896. Attorneys tor the plaintiff in the case of Cook vj, Davis say that the Court decided that the mortgage was fraudu lent and void. The effect of the decis ion is that in no event can the receiver of the Bank of New Hanover get the property.!' Tne Court also decided that the plaintiff, Cook, cannot get it, on the ground that he did not have a legal title and should have gone into equity.

D acker y, Boyd . and the other stragglers agrees with the Judge. His avoirdupois is increasing on the strength of it. There is some doubt expressed as to whether Settle and Rutseli entered into any. agreement when he visited Russell. Settle is thought to be more submissive than usual, but did he make tbe report ed compact with Russell? What are political promises, any wa? It is said that G. fi. Lambeth dt Co , the Napoleons in liquor finance, never sold liquor in wholesale quantities around Raleigh. It is claimed that they re shipped most of the liquor at the depot, never signing lor it. Thirty three barrels are known to have been shipped to Alabama. These have been attached! It is likely that requisition papers will be made out to-day for the extradition of Lambeth, who is known to be in the vicinity of Montgomery, Ala. It wis a gigantic swindle. Federal Court will likely adjourn this afternoon. To-day the case of A. W. Shaffer versus Edwards & Broughton was argued. About 1893, Shaffer made a map ol Raleigh;- Edwards & Brough ton had J. C Harriss to make one several years later, and this was claimed to be an infringement on Shaffer s. A strange and remarkable story just comes from Lumnock.

This is by far the greatest attendance in the history of the college. I It ia expected thlt the cumber will reach 275 before tbe season closes. It would seem that a protection senti ment was being worked up in this State, from the facts in Senator - Prttchard's speech, which he delivered in Congress last week. A petition, with 60O names. from Newbern, asking tor an increase . of - tariff on lumber, was read. Most of the 600 names were Democrats ; some of them well known. Other requests for protection duties were asked by North Carolina. William Smitb, aged nineteen and one of the miners caught in the Cumnock disaster,' is dead.
