With Hon. Bourke Cockran's views, it is surprising how he man aged to keep out of the Republican party so long. Senator Tillman is not suck on the bloomer costojne but he has not yet manifested any disposition . to stick his pitchfork into it. Silver is on a boom in Kentucky. Free silver is at the front, and in ad dition to this they are discovering deposits worth $65 a on, supposed to be a lost mtne found again. Apan-Irish convention is talked of and there has been some talk of another pan-American convention. Thus far these pan-conventions have turned out more stews than , any thing else. In the midst of all the political excitement the New Yoik Ice Trust attends to business and keeps cool. It has jast declared a six per cent, dividend. It is playing a sort of freeze out game on the public. Old Jerusalem is on a ' boom. Twenty years ago there were 15,000 Jews living there; now there are be tween 60,000 and 70,000. .The Jews in Palestine are now beginning to outnumber the Christians and Mos lems. f The Philadelphia North American propounds the following: - "Suppose Bryan's jaw should become disloca ted ?"

Bpurke Cockran, of New York, has bolted Bryan and Sewall, and declares that he will support McKinley. McKinley needs all the support he can get. Mr. Cockran is one of the gentlemen who some time ago made the discovery that It was too much and not too little money that was hurting this country. V.Gen. Gordon, of Georgia, Isn't the man to be caught with the bait of a place on the gold men's Presidential ticket, if they put one np. He be lieves in the gold standard; but he also believes in supporting the nom inees of the National Convention, and will vote for Bryan and Sewall. The New York Mail and Express, which is hungering for fame, claims to be the inventor of the word "Pop- ocrat, whereupon the alert Wash ington Post takes a pop at the M. & E. by informing it that some fellow in Kansas took out a patent on that invention several years ago. The New York Tribune after long cogitation, makes bold to ask', 'Men and brethren, why not take this free coinage bull by the horns?" Why, because they don't want to run the risk of getting in the way of the bull and being run over, and dis figured. :' - - ' ' :' , A number of young men in a' Kansas town entered into a solemn' compact to shave their heads during the Summer. That was all right, but If washing their brains had been a part of the compact they might have derived more benefit from it There is a farmer in New York State who becomes insane every four years, in every Presidential year. A stranger visitiog this country while a Presidential campaign is on would be apt td conclude that this farmer had lots of company. Hon. Mark Hanna says he has nothing to do with the Republican factions iiNew York, but will ac cept advice from either. This shows that Mark is not proud. He will, doubtless, accept contributions from either. Mark Hanna's home is , called Windmere. The wind is furnished by Hanna's protege, while Hanna furnishes the solid stuff for the cam paign. - - - " " : NSW AD VKBTISBMBMT8. D. O'Connor For rent. For Sale Lot with two dwellings.

' " The Star regrets to learn of the death of Mr. lohn L. Wescott, one of the oldest and most respected cit z ;ns of B uaswick county, who died yesterday morning at 6.15 o'clock at his home at Southport. ' He was a devout Christian gentleman; was born at Emperor, Brunswick county, in 1820,,and, after spending the majority of his . life at Southport, where he was once Mayor of the town, once Superintendent of the Baptist Sunday school. He died at tbe ripe old age of seventy-six years. Mr, Wescott s death was a shock to all Brunswick county, he having been known and held in esteem by all of tbe older citizens. It was largely due to bis influence and aid that a - Baptist Church was erected at boutbport. He leaves a son and daughter and their families to mourn his loss Mr. R. M. Wescott, of this city, and Mrs. H. Luther Leonard, of Kelly's Cove, N. C. A number of his near relations" was at his death bed. The funeral will take place this after noon at 4 o'clock, from tbe Southport Baptist Cbutch. Tbe Tbeatriofcl Season. The season 96 97 is expected to he a memorable one in the history of the Wilmington Opera House. Manager Schloss, with his usual push and energy, has secured some of the leading attrac tions of - the country, and promises theatre-goers that nothing but first class shows will be seen on the boards here this year. Mr. Schloss has associated with him this season, as his bouse force, gentle men who are well known and popular among the companies travelling the Southern , circuit. "Our own come dian". Mr. Henry Newman, will have charge of the press department, and, of course, it goes without saying that it will be O. K. The genial countenance of Mr. Tbor, H. Wright will again beam on his friends as treasurer of the House, and Mr. Jas. H. Cowan will do the honors at assisUnt. Mr. Albert Prempert will at tend to the stage to a nicety, while Mr, C H. Cooper will see that every one is properly seated, assisted by the follow ing popular ushers: Messrs. C. G. Bagg, W. Hnhn, W. Bisslnger, Benj. Russell and Wm. Russell. ' The old reliable Will Hayes wilt do the stage carpentering as heretofore. The House has been thoroughly cleaned and everything is now in readiness for the opening of the season Weather in July. The monthly meteorological summary for luly shows that the mean , tempera ture for the month, despite the high range of the mercury for several days, was not above the average, 80 degrees, as is shown by the record for 26 years past. Tbe highest temperature during the month was 98 degrees on the.SOtb, and the lowest, 66, on the 18th. The total rainfall for the month was 5 72 Inches, below the average, which is 7.18 inches for 26 years Body Beooyered, The body of the young colored boy Oscar Robinson, drowned in the river at Princess street dock last Tuesday after noon, was recovered yesterday morning by a colored man who dragged for it several hours. The body was found some fifteen or twenty feet from the place where tbe bov fell overboard. It was turned over by tbe Coroner to relatives of the deceased for burial. No inquest was held. CORRECTION. FAYETTEYILLE, N. C Aug. 4. Editor Star:--In "Favetteville Newt," in Saturday's Star, I c see. signed "H. Eye," a statement, that "in case Mr. Fleet Cooper, of Sampson, should not develop sufficient strength in the Con gressional Convention for Congress, there is a disposition on the part of a few Sampson delegates to name Rev. Oates, formerly a Sampsonian, but now editor of the North Carolina Baptist. Mr. Editor, your correspondent is do ing Mr. Oates an injustice, as;Mr. Oates is not a Keverena ana never nas oeen. Mr. Oates is an humble layman in the First Baptist church of Fayetteville and a consecrated cnrutian gentleman, out not a '-Reverend" as stated by your cor retpondent. Democrat, WILMINGTON, N. C THURSDAY; AUGUST 6. 1896. r OPERA HOUSE. Barlow. Brother' Mins'reli Give a Good Peiformtnot to a Large Andienee. , Quite a fair audience passed "the man at tbe door" at tbe Opera House last night to witness the performance of Barlow Bros.' Minstrels. The company is newly organized, having opened in Petersburg Monday night. It is really a meritorious one. -. . Mr. Mosely, the manager, has used much cate in the selection of his troupe, and has gathered together men who are artists in their line, and do fail to tickle the "funny side" of mankind. Notwithstanding the bot weather last night, the audience enjoyed the performance, and showed their appre ciation by liberal and hearty applause throughout the entire show. The stage settings are new, and a deviation from the general run of minstrels, while the cos umes are neat and "summery." The vocalists are all first class and far above the average. Tbe beautiful ballad, "WiU They Answer If I Write?" rend ered by the remarkable counter-tenor,- Mr. Thos. Crockett, was much enjoyed. while Mr. W. Rale's rich tenor in "Just Tell Them Tfait You Saw Me," was one of the leading hits of the evening. Mr. Frank Russell was undoubtedly the star of the show, and bis parody, "Just Tell Them I Saw It," brought down the house. He was compelled to re spond to several encores. "I'll be True to My Honey Boy," by the candidate for next president of minstrelsy, Mr. Harry Ward, was much enjoyed; the chorus echo from the gallery by little Arthur Sampson being especially good. Arthur has a pleasant .voice and bis rendition ol popular Rosey Magee" was excellent. The jugglery of Mr. Eoerhardt was one of tbe teatures, while Mack and O'Day, in their delineation of the "ante bellum darkey, were'' very good. Harry Ward will have considerable "stumping" to do to get away from Frank Russell In their race for the minstrel presidency. Messrs. Valentine and Weed's musical act proved a hit, while Marion and Pearl, ; the acrobatic comedians, and Zella, the man of many shapes, came in for their share of theapplause. The show at a whole was very good, and deserves liberal patronage. Foreoaat ro Anatut. The United States Hydrographic office issues the following : Fine weather generally over the North Atlantic Oc casional gales north of the 45th parallel ; also near the American coast north of the 40th para lsl. Tropical cyclones, or hurricanes, very probable. Fog west of the 83d meridian, cress the Grand Banks, and east of New Eogland, as shown. Occasional fog near 50 degrees north, from 20 to 83 degrees west, dar ing first half of month. Icebergs in the vicinity of Belle Isle; a few east of Newfoundland; south of 50 degrees north. The sub-chart of average conditions for tbe month shows an area of high pressure near the 85th parallel There is also a low in the vicinity of Green land. Between the high and this low there is a general movement of the air from the United States towards Europe and the Arctic region, and occasional spiral circulations, yiz.'the cyclonic (against the sun), with low barometer, and the anti-cycIonic(with the sun), with high barometer. Generally, to the east ward and in front of the cyclone circu lation, or the low. the weather is damp, the thermometer rising and the barom eter falling ; while to the eastward and in front of tbe anti-cyclonic, cr the high, it is dry, cooler, and the barom eter rises.

WILL REJECT PROPOSITION TO FUSE ON ELECTORAL TICKET. WiU Hoxninata a State Ticket With Guth- lie for" Oarer nor Aeetdent'to a Toang Wntte Boy la Bl jigh. . Special Star Correspondence. ; Raleigh. N. C Aug. 6. A few weeks ago. a young white boy, Geo. Physioc, accidentally shot himself with a Flobert rifle, the ball penetrating his head. The physicians were unable to extricate the ball and young Physioc went to Baltimore to the John Hopkins hospital," where a was removed by the aid of cathode rays. Young Physioc re turned yesterday and is exhibiting the ball to friends. ' The Biblical Recorder says this week that the Legislature will be called upon to take steps toward withdrawing . pub lic tax aid from higher education, to es tablish a reformatory for youthful crim inals, to increase tbe . efficiency ot the common schools (including the institu tion of a secure and incorruptible plan of adopting public school books) to. pass an anti-saloon law, to pass a law restricting fees ot justices of tbe peace to civil cases. . v 1 Tne Populist State Convention may refuse to accept the proposition of the Democratic Executive Committee for electoral fusion. There is a strong pos sibility that this course may be pursued. It seems very likely that the Populists will name Zeb Walzer, whether there is fusion or no fusion between Republicans and Populists. A Populist said to-day: "Yes, we are going to nominate Walzer tor Attorney ueneral. No one can say anything against bim. He is opposed to McKinley and is a good silver man." "How do you know be is opposed to McKinley?" he was asked. "Because Walzer told - me so him self." - Maj W. A. Guthrie will be nominated for Governor; I. M. Mewborne Lieuten ant Governor, Hal. W. Ayer, Secretary of State; W. H. Worth, Treasurer; . W. Graham, Superintendent of Public In struction; Zeb Vance Walzer, Attorney General; Judge: Walter Montgomery, and probably a Democrat (?) for Associ ate Judges of the Supreme Court, - Special Star Telegram. It is the opinion of influential Popu lists and Democrats that the Populist State Convention will refuse to endorse the Democratic Executive ! Committee's proposition for electoral , fusion. It is evident that there will be a fight in the convention on the proposition ot fusing with Democrats on electors. By Southern Associated Presi. Raleigh, N.v C August 5. J. J. Mott, ex-Chairman of the National Sil ver party, is here. He is an earnest sap- porter of fusion of the Democrats and Populists and has entirely cut loose from the Republican party. He insists that fusion of the Democrats and Populists in North Carolina on the State ticket is a necessity and considers it certain to come. The Populists are vehrmently protesting against any fusion. It looks as if it will not be consumated. LUTHERAN7S NEW COLLEGE. Work On tne Building to Ba Commenced the First of September. Full and complete plans for the Lu theran College, to be established for women in Charlotte, N. G, and the methods to be employed in the conduct and management have been arranged.. The college is to be devoted to the edu cation of the girls of the Lutheran Church, though not to be so strictly sec tarian as to exclude those of other de nominations. Four 1 hundred and fifty pupils can be accommidated, and pro vision in the appointment of tbe build ing and the selection of the faculty will be made for this number! " - Both ' Charlotte and ( Columbia were anxious to secure tbe institution. Col umbia offered 120,000 for its establish ment in that city, but Charlotte made a more liberal bid of $13,000 and a twenty- acre lot for the building and grounds, valued at $20,000. , The contract for the building of the seminary has been awarded. Work will begin Sept. 1, and no expense will be spared to make it all that could be de sired for its intended use Ail tbe modern improvements will be placed in the building. Its completion is guaran teed by Sept. 1, 1897.: It will then be turned over to the United Synod of the Lutheran Church South. This body will have in charge tbe direction and management of the institution, and will immediately select the faculty. It is said tha& as far as is consistent with the securing of the best teachers and the good of the seminary, the preference' in filling the cbairs will he given to the educators within the limits of the ter ritory embraced in the Lutheran Church South.
