It is said that Qieen Victoria has always attended personally to the re ligious trainiog of her children.

They have a very quick and easy way of estimating the wealth of this country. They take the population as shown by census reports and allow each of us 81.000 a head. In that way we always keep ahead of other countries. On this basis it would do as well or perhaps to - call this a thousand dollar . instead of a billion dollar country. . An engineer who was discharged by the Iron Mountain (Mo.) railroad during the strike in 1893, and coulda t get employment because he was blacklisted, has just recovered a verdict for the month'! pay for the month in which he was discharged and $1,500 for the blacklisting.

That is what those who heard Mr. Losey in otber'places say the people of Wilmington have offered for next Mon day night. Mr. Losey has a reputation equal to that of Mr. Powers, who gave such a great enteitainment last year. The Charlotte Observer says: ' Mr. Losey has talent of a; high order. He succeeds in losing his personality in that of the bung he creates, thus bringing before his bearers not characters repre sented but the characters themselves.1 Tickets and reserved seats may be had at Q W.

The case in which "Commander F. Winslaw and the State Naval Battalion are so much interested, . and which was to'haVe come up yesterday before Judge S arbuck at Goldsboro, has again been postponed by agreement of counsel Messrs. R. H. Battle, of Raleigh, and Thos. W. Strange representing Geo. L. Morton.f or the State, and Messrs. Ricaud & Weill and Geo. Rountree representing Commander Winslo until the Pender county term of the Superior Court, which meets at Bargaw on the first Mon day in March. Tae case has excited much interest in this community, es pecially since Governor Elias Carr and Adjutant General Francis - F. Cameron have completely ignored all of the Bat talion officers in the Naval Battalion, having issued stringent orders for all otfeers to report direct to headquarters, not allowing the business of the Reserves . to ' be referred to any of the higher officers as has been been the precedent, not only'in the Naval Batta lion, but in the entire State Guard since its organization. " The supplies of the Battalion have also been transferred to Quartermaster General Eugene Harrell's bands, making "the Naval Battalion's complement of officers mere figure heads, i r Lieut. Commander Geo. L. Morton will go to Raleigh in the next day or two to ascertain the meaning of such ac tion and of the complete ignoiing of the Battalion officers. Interest in the Fight. Considerable interest was manifested here yesterday in the prize fight be tween Fitzdmmons and Maher. There were many callers at the Star office during the day, all hungry for news from the "battleground." It was . about;! 6 p. m., though, when the nrst news reached us, and though it took but few words to express it, the simple announce ment that Fitzjimmons bad knocked Maher out in the first round, was enough. The result was not unexpected except to a few; but it was generally believed that Maher would probably last several rounds. - There was some betting here on the fight, with odds generally on Fuz., but no large amounts were placed, and the betters, as a rule, belonged to the younger set of "sports." jj .The interest will now centre on Fitz simmons and Coroett, the latter having repeatedly' announced his intention of challenging the winner of yesterday's fight. It Is more than probable that1 a meeting between Fitz. and "Gentleman Jim" will be arranged; but it is almost sure that the fight will not take place In this country, Corbett must fight Fitz simmons somewhere, or he will be branded as a coward. lisclatratea' Conr;, The following casrs were disposed of in Justice McGowan's Court yesterdat: Jas. Veney, charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon (a stick) upon . Hattie Hannigan. There not being sufficient evidence to hold the defendant for a higher court, he was discharged. M.

PALACE PHARMACY. Vr. Hardin' JStw Drag Store Formally Opened Iatt Night. Hardin's Palace Pharmacy, on South Front street, near Orange, was formally opened to the public last evening.

The "Palace is ons of the prettiest places in the city; everything is so bright, fresh and new, and so tastily arranged.

The building itself is a new one and has been specially arranged for the purpose for which it is used. It has handsome plate-glass windows, marble counters, electric lights, ana other fixtures of the latest and best styles. Mr. Hardin s long experience as a druggist justly entitles him to the high position be holds in the community a a pharmacist.

A special meeting of the Board of Aldermen was held last night. Present, Mayor Harriss and Alderman Maunder, Hicks, Gore, VotGann, Cameron, Northrop. Springer, Meares and Walker. Mayor Harriss stated that the object of the meeting was to pass upon appli cations from "citizens to build bouses and to consider any other business. An application was read from Mr.' Marsden Bellamy, asking that he be allowed to erect two houses on McRae street, between Hanover and Campbell streets, Upon motion the application was granted. . Alderman Northrop asked if the buildings wouldn't be under the super vision ot the Fire Commission. Mayor Harriss said they would, bnt all applications had to be passed upon by the Board. A'dermau Meares said he thought it would be a good plan to have a blank form prepared for these applications to be made upon, containing space for the description of the house or hcuses to be built. .. Mayor Harriss said he thought Alder man Meares' idea was a good one; that very recently there had been built some shabby houses within the fire limits. An application was read from Ellis White, asking permission to build a couple of one-story houses on Seventh street between Brunswick and Bladen, for Mrs. N. Hullen. ' Upon motion, the petition was granted. Annie E. Brown made application to be allowed to build a house on the west side of Seventh street, between Bladen and Harnett streets. Upon motion, the ' petition was granted. A communication was read from Mr. W. A. French. Jr.. asking that Thos. H. Wright & Co. be paid $4 50 for repairs on his bicycle, irjured on North Third street, between Chesnut and Mulberry streets, while the streets were undergo ing repairs. Upon motion ol Alderman Northrop, seconded by Alderman Gore, the communication was referred to the Finance Committee. Alderman Springer said that two bouses are now being erected on. Fifth and Walnut streets for which there had been no petition granted. Mayor Harrtss said that Mr. Vollers, the contractor, had come to him after the last regular meeting to see about building the bouies in question, and that he had told him in order to save time to take his pstition and have it signed by the maj inty ot the board. Alderman Maunder said he had signed it. Mayor Harriss said that Mr. Vollers didn't know there was to be a special meeting. The clerk was instructed to send a communication to Mr. W. P. Toon, the owner of the property, and ask him to send in an t pplication. Alderman Meares made a motion, which was adopted, to have printed blanks for applications to bs made upon, and also a printed form, to grant peti tions. Alderman H.cks said that an applica tion was granted to the Carolina Cooper age Company to lay a side track across Nutt street, with the understanding that all railroads could have use ot it; that a lock bad been put on the. switch by a certain road and the other railroads were barred out, and he would make a motion that the company be notified to remove the switch leck or remove the track. Alderman Springer said he thought a communication should be sent to Mr. E. M. Wells, the manager, asking him to appear before the Board at its next regular meeting and show cause why the petition should not be annulled. Alderman Hictcs withdrew his motion and Alderman springer s motion was carried. Alderman Northrop arose and said; Mr. Chairman, in behalf of a people who are laboring for their independence, I wish to present the following resolu tion, and I trust the same will be adopted unanimously : Whereas, The people of Cuba are in a heroic struggle to throw off the oppres sive yoke ot Spain and establish their National Independence; and whereas the Cuban p triots have representative recuohcaa form ot government, com posed ot men of the highest distinction and honor, and have effectually; carried out through their liberating army, the various orders of the Republic, and Whereas.
