PLEASANT ENTERTAINMENT JPor the BohoUra and Teaohita of the Vint Atptlat Cnutob Bandar Bobcol. , 1 here was just a tinge of mystery. about Superintendent Leftwich's request, made in yesterday's paper, that the scholars and teachers meet him at -4 o'clock in the afternoon in the lecture room of the First Baptist Church. Tee superintendent had kept bis counsel so well that not even his closest co-workers Were let into the secret! even the assis tant superintendent being in the dark as to Mr. Letwich's intentions, and so the excellent programme of music, with' the other features of the occasion, was a complete and delightful rurprise. ; There were vocal Solos by Miss Carrie White, Mr. A. S. Holden, and a duet rendered by Misses Nellie and Elsie Calder. . Mr. Leftwich then spoke about the Sunday school work, outlining bis plans for the new vear. and urging both teachers and scholars to make every ef fort to give mutual pleasure and satis faction. Then! came a "piano selection by Miss Bessie Bum and a few remarks by the pastor, Rev. W. B. Oliver,', after bich Mr. Lf twich presented to each of the. teachers a neatly bound little book containing the lessons for 1897 in both versions. The audience was soon dismissed and at the door another surprise. awaited them in the shape of bags of good things to eat, one of which was given to every one present. JEmtnelpitton Day. Yesterday was the 84th anniversary of President Lincoln's emancipation proc lamation. The day was celebrated by colored citizens in an appropriate tman ner. About 12 m a procession was formed at the City Hill, under the di rection of Chief Marshal David Jacobs, and led by the chief marshal's aids and a platoon' of policemen the procession marched through the principal streets of the city, and thence to St. Luke's A. M. E. Z ion Church, where the meeting was called to 'order by -President Valentine Howe, after which a choice programme of music etc., was rendered. The exercises closed with a benediction by the chaplain. Rev. F. G Ragland. At the church an ora tioo was delivered by the pastor. Rev P. L. Cuyler. The music for the parade was furnished by the Convivial Band, and the music at the- church was under the direction of O. D. Telfair. Cotlon'Beoeipta end Elpnti.

The first day of the year of Our Lord, 1897, passed off quietly in the city of Wilmington. Ia fact the most striking feature of New fear's was its quietneis.. The fighting element of the population and other evil-doers mabt have, after the common habit, made their resolutions for the new year, for police and magiste rial circles were unusually devoid of ex citement. Many of the business houses were closed and the city wore something of a Sabbath air. 1 - The general stillness, however, was slightly broken byf the colored proces sion and other features of Emancipation Day exercises. A i party of gay mas queraders on horse back, mule-back and. donkey-back was a source of amusement to some." Adda few fireworks an echo of Christmaa and! there you have the occurrences but" for which yesterday would have been the. dullest of dull day s. The weather Was the subject ol gen eral remark. If the first day is a key to the prevailing weather of the year, then the year 1897 will be remembered as one of fine days. If a man had forgot ten in what season we are at present living, and were Compelled to guess, he would have been certain that yesterday was an April day. j And ther was no uncertain glory about it, either. : And now that the new year is well be gun, and the merriment cf the? holidays will soon be a memory, it's time to set tle down seriouslyj to business. The Star, as it has done heretofore, is going to-gtye its readers their money's- worth. Its staff of workers will conscientiously endeavor to get the news, and no efforts will be spared to make the Star an actual necessity to the people. 1 Christmas Tree frolic ' !- Batsitilnment Givanithe Child ran ol B.ook- lyn Baptist Cherdh Sonday School.

CORRIGAN- ' Buiotde of an Aetreaa Who Boosntly Ap- paared In jBVllmlngton. A New York dispatch of date Tues-i day.December 29:h, reported the death of Mis. Myra Corrigan, 83 years old, an actress, who committed suicide at her home in that city! by swallowing car bolic acid in a glass of water. Despon dency occasioned by financial losses is supposed to have Induced her to take her life. j . ' Mrs. Corrigan. was a member of the Emmett Cqrrigan Company, which after about five -s weeks of unsuccess ful buiineis in the South, was forced to close their Season in this city on Thanks giving day. The next day the troupe took the Clyde Lfne steamer, for New York city, Where it! disbanded. Mrs. Corrigan and her husband, Em melt Corrigan, have been on the stage a number of years, and having met 'with success, started out in a company of their own, playing week stands at popular prices, but their farmer good luck did not follow them, and having sustaiaed heavy financial, losses, they were fdrced to disband their company.

SPRUNT'S QUEER HOUSE' Its Fame Has Spread to Osorgla, and a-Sa vannah Paper Diaouaaes It in a Ha- ' moroue View. Savannah News The Georgia jig spriogf and the New York cow that gives down beer might as well dry up and go Out of the business. North Carolina has developed a pheno menon that cangive the razzle-dazzle to both of them, and Mr. James Sprunt is the happv sole owaer of it. Mr. Sprunt is a prosperous business-man ot the city of Wilmington. As is the custom with prosperous buiiness-men of the city of Wilmington, Mr. Spruttt resides at the seaihire during the season. He takes the breezes and the salt bath at Ocean View, which is on the coast directly east of Wilmington and about ' two sights and a peep," as they say in North Caro lina, south of the town of Wrightsville. Mr. Sprunt s cottage is one of the most commodious and well-appointed ia Ocean View, and during last season the most delightful hospitality was dispensed thereat. - ' i . - Whence Mr. Sprunt's house derives its power cannot be guessed. Some time ago during a storm the foundation un der the front part of it was washed away by the high tide: with the result that the house took a slight pitch for ward, towards the ocean. From that day all who came within the range of its influence have evinced an almost irre s.stible inclination to pitch forward also. not only while in or about the house. but alter it has been left, the inclination lasting about the space of time that it usually, takes for. an a'coholtcally-ac-q aired jag to wear off. Oae gentleman who went into tne house stopped long enough to acquire a condition of in toxication whicn m.de it necessary; for his friends to carry him out in their arms. .. " But a very queer thing 'has happened to Mr. Sprunt s bouse. It has "got a jag on, and possesses the mysterious power ol communicating that jagged leeling to all who enter it. That is the ettect when one gets in on the ground floor. Usually it is considered that when one gets in "on the -ground floor be gets the best that is going. But in the case of Mr. Sprunt s house, the good thing does not reach its best until one gets upstairs. ' On the second floor the sensation is one of extra dry champagne intoxication. Some persons who have tested it have been made sick. It ts ai ways the case, however, that there are people who do not know when to quit. It is a wise man that knows when he bas enough. .- It Is not Stated what use "Mr. Sprunt will make of his most remarkable bouse. He bas the opportunity, however, of setting up a resort that would appeal powerfully to certain men of means, who spend the major portion of their time in efforts to keep in a state of in toxication. At Mr. bprunta : bouse there would be no trouble about getting, drunk, and keeping drunk, all summer, without the slightest bit, of exertion without ven the trouble of cracking ice or Dulling corks. At such a resort the Governor of North Carolina and the Governor of South Carolina - might meet and hold conference without the necessity ol making any remarks what ever, and numbers ot prominent gentle' men from Kentucky would probably be delighted to keep them company, ECK.
