The Start is requested by the lady managers of the "Pirates of Pen zance" to return their sincere thanks to all those who aided them in the prepara tion of the opera.

Melvm, who has re sided in our city for some years past, emDlovedas boiler maker for the Wil mington Iron Works, was not the Jas. Melvin who had the trouble on the streets with his wife a few days ago over the ownership of a child. The latter, although havinz the same name, is a stranger here. f-s. A number of our contempora ries are still wrestling with the French word nee, which means born. They speak of Mrs. John Smith, nee Miss Mary Brown. But she was not born "Miss Mary Brown;" for It is not the custom to name children before they are born. The word nee can only be used properly be fore the surname. Example: Mrs. John Smith, nee Brown. Mr. W. H. Gerken, after an ab sence of several weeks, returned from Savannah yesterday. He informs the Star that his son, Eddie, is still in cus tody, but that his friends here have no doubt of an acquittal when the trial comes off in June. We learn that an effort is being made among his old friends here to assist in defraying the expenses of the trial, as he is compara tively in a friendless position in Si van nah, having been on the Herald a few months only. Old North Caroline. A suggestive feature in the New York truck market, as reported yesterday, says the Charleston News and Observer, was that while strawberries fresh from the near fields of Maryland and Delaware were quoted at "3 to 9 cents a quart,' and no prices were mentioned for such fruit from North Carolina, South Caro lina. Georgia and Florida, where "the season" is over. North Carolina grown blackberries are quoted at 16 to 17 cents, or from two to five times the price of the Dslaware strawberries. And our Palmetto contemporary might have added that North Carolina huckleberries were quoted at 14 cents per quart. .- - One Cent a Word, , ' Hereafter advertisements to go in our R rutin MS Locals" department will be charged one cent per word for each in sertion ; but no advertisement, nowever short, will be taken for less than 20 cents, This is a reduction from former rates and It is also a convenience to adver tisers, who can calculate the exact cost of their advertisements, which must be paid for always in advance. If there is anything you want, ad vertise for it. Is there anything yon don't want? Advertise it in the Business Locals of the Star. One word.

' The National Ltaguu clubs are now in for the race and sharp playing marked the games yesterday. There have been several important changes in the stand ing of the teams, but the one of most in terest to onr local "fans" is the jump of Cleveland to first place. The "Spiders" are the favorites witn our boys. As pre dicted in last Sunday's! Star the "Reds" have commenced their toboggan slide, as they have now dropped to third place. The 'Champions" come three better than they were this time last week, while the ' Bean-Eiter8" have dropped to the five spot. The "Phillies' " work on home ground has been highly satisfactory to the patrons in the Qaaker City, and the boys have fully atonedi for that dreadful Western trip. Tne "Colts" are trying to hold their own with seventh place (they are not ambitious for eleven) with the "Senators" and Foutz men close be hind them.' The VGiants" are now play ing in better form and are slowly climb- inz ud- Of course, it is a foregone con clusion to the baseball world that the Browns" and Louisville have entered into compact to remain "in the rear.

An Atlanta Policeman is Fined Five Hun- dred Dollar and Qoei to Jail for Six Months for Reoklets Bhoctmg. The jury in the case of Policeman W. N. Hudson, who was tried in Atlanta a few days ago for murder for the killing of James Decatur returned a verdict of involuntary manslaughter. At the time of the killing Hudson was trying to ar rest a negro who had stolen a can of lard. The negro ran and the policeman fired at him. The streets were crowded and besides kiliing Decatur instantly, the wild policeman wounded two others. The State took the ground that the policeman's recklessness and negligence amounted to the same thing as wilful murder. Under the verdict of the jury the Judge imposed a fine of $500 on Hudson and sentenced him to imprison ment in jail for six months. The Judge also expressed surprise at the verdict of the iury, and insisted that under the la it was a case of murder. This should be a warning to all policemen who are dis posed to be too handy with their pistols. The Polios Board. The Police Board met yesterday at noon in the Mayor's office at the City Hall. Present, Messrs. W. H. Chad- bourn (chairman), S. P, Wright, F. W. Foster. Aldermen Thos. D. Meares and R. W. Hicks appeared before the board and asked that Mr. W. H.

Latham, Alexander & Co., of New York, in a circular letter oi May 28tb, says: Desiring to give our customers the most reliable information obtainable. concerning this years United States cotton acreage, on May 16.a we ad dressed 3,500 letters to responsible planters, cotton commission merchants,. cotton brokers, banks and bankers mak ing advances to planters, asking for in formation on the subject. Correspondents were selected in every county in the South, acq we have re ceived 2.521 replies of iverace date May 21st containing acreage estimates. and we submit the following result: Acreage increase Alabama, 13 per cent.; Arkansas, 17; Florida, 20; Georgia, 13; Louisiana, 11; Mississippi, 11; North Carolina. .16; South Carolina, 13: Ten nessee, 22; Texas, 16; various. 36. The total acreage in 1895 was 18,832,000,' in 1896, 21,619,000. Total increase in U. S. as compared with last year, 2 737,030 acres, or 14J per cent. ine same correspondents make the planting. of the crop about one week earlier in all the States, excepting Texas and Florida, and these States are irom one to two weeks later than last year. In compiling the estimates it was no ticeable to cs that the increase in acre age was not confined to any particular section of any State, but was nearly uni form throughout each State, with the ex ception of Tennessee. Accompanying the acreage reports we received a large number of letters, and from them we gather that while the condition of the plant on the whole is favorable, there are manv sections from which come complaints of drought causing slow germination and poor stands, which will make much replanting necessary. There are also mm; complaints of excessive rains, cold weather, and damage by worms, The replanting being necessarily late, and drought still continuing, fears are entertained that the crop in those sections will be seriously curtailed.

The Milwaukee x Journal champions the cause.of the wheelmen and wheel- women in the following sensible way : 'The most necessary bicycle legisla tion needed at the present time is an or dinance to protect the riders from-being run down in the most heedless and reck less manner by teamsters who seem to think that bicycles have no rights be cause their wagonsare strong enough to crush a wheel in any event of collision. They often treat buggies to similar dis regard when opportunity offers. But for downright assumption and gross defiance of law and the rights ot the road, they find their chosen opportunity in impos ing on the bicycle. Hardly a day passes without its record ot miury or narrow escape of serious accident from the dis regard by the teamsters of the bicycle as a vehicle in tne public nignway. J t any legislation is to be bad this is first and most necessary. Tne Letter Carriers. Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, has re ported favorably from the Committee on Postoffi:es and Postroads his bill to in crease the pay of letter carriers through out the United States. The bill is simi lar to the one already reported favorably in the House. It provides that after June 30th of the present year the pay of letter carriers in cities of more than 75,- 000 population for the first year of ser vice shall be 1600: lor the secona year. fc800: for the third year, ftl 000; for the fourth vear and thereafter, 21,200; and that those in cities of a population oi un- aer vo.uuvsnau receive iur tuc .mat year a service $600; for the second year, $800, and for the third year and thereafter. $1,000.

To the Editor of the News: ' Such is the manner in which I desire to speak of the good work Dr. Mattbez has done for my daughter. If these were the days of miracles, such it would be; but whether one or the other, the fact is my daughter has been what may be termed practically blind for sixteen years, yes, twenty years; for twenty years ago she commenced to lose her sight. 1-our years after we took her to a surgeon oculist m Baltimore, who op erated upon her right eye, and with the exception of the small rays of light re sulting from the operation, she has been practically blind for sixteen years, left eye totally so. On March 23d I took my daughter to Dr. Matthcz, at the Central Hotel. He made thorough preliminary exami nation of her eyes, stated his belief of what could be done for her and what it would cost. I decided at all sacrifice to save my daughter's sight. Had I listen ed to gossiDing advisers I would have stopped right there. Thank Gcd, I knew my own business well enough to avoid the cheap advice of ' would-be friends, and placed my daughter's case in his hands. I believe be spent about twenty hours, at different times, in examinations, after which two beautiful sets of spectacles i were m ide f it her. one f or doss use and one for far use. She has used the glass s a new world has been opened to her. Fiv e nunarea dollars wouldn t buy either pair of the glasses if she could not get them duplicated. She has been brought from darkness to light. M.jA. Stauffer 608 South Church street. Charlotte, N. C, May 3. 1896. The above is another of the manv in stances of Dr. Matthez's capable work on eyes and glasses. Among the many who have had his service and glasses not one dissatisfied peisoa exists. Charlotte News. About one week 'ao Dr. Maithez opened an office in Wilmington at The Orton, modestly announcing his mission, scientific optician, in the adjustment of glasses to the eyes, free from medical or surgical treatment or advice, hence a me chanical method, bringing with him let ters and endorsements of the highest character from men of world-wide repu tation testifying to his superior skill, conscientious methods and cbaiacteras a gentleman, a cut above the ordinary travelling spectacle venders. Dr. Matthez has been accorded the re ception which his position merits and is already at work on cases which will em phasize his good work. In the mean time, we print the above letter copied from the Charlotte News, which of itself speaks volumes. We are assured that the case is well and thoroughly known and if any one has a doubt is referred to write to Mr. Stauffer, or to either of his family physicians, two of Charlotte's most eminent and Veil known practition ers, Dr. J. P. McCombs and Dr. McMan away. Remember that Dr. Matthez's stay in Wilmington is but temporary and those desiring to avail themselves of his service and glasses should go at once to The Orton, office room 41, parlor floor. Sudden Daath at Warsaw. A correspondent cf the Star writes from Magnolia: "Mr. W. H. Winders, living near War saw, oitd last night of heart trouble. He was a very prominent citizen, having served as county commissioner for Duplin for several terms."' NEW ADVERTISEMENTS, Notice. DIVIDEND OF FOUR PER CENT.
