After fighting it in the courts for two yiars a San Francisco millionaire ha3 been sent to jail for 24 hours for violating a city ordinance by spitting on a streetcar floor. It is said that the Dreyfus trial cost France S10.000; but as France scooped in $90,000 from telegrams sent and received about the trial France i3 still 50,000 ahead. Platinum which yields six pounds to the ton of ore has been discov ered near Hot Springs, Arkansas. A3 thia metal is worth $185 a pound this is a pretty lucky find, if there is ranch of it. A distinguished London physiolo gist says it is the first born children of a family who attain the highest distinction. We don't know how this i3, but it ia the first that the old folks think the greatest and make the most ado over. Some people are spoken of as hav ing "one foot in the grave," but there is a Michigander who has a whole leg in the grave, and he goes to that grave once a week in the Summer time to put flowers on it. That leg was attached to him, too. It is said that there are in the jails of Europe over 20,000 aristo crats, Russia leading with 12,000. As the aristocrats as a general thing hare to be taken care of by some- J body it might as well be in jail as anywhere. They don't cost so much there. When this country consumes 600, 000,000 pounds of wool annually and produces only 300,000,000 poundB, the American sheep ought to be en couraged, but not with a fake tariff, which doesn't encourage the sheep, but does pile it on the person who buys woollen goods. One of the London papers speaks of Admiral Dewey as a "smart offi-. cer," which means that he is a di minutive sort of chap. But Dewey ia "smart" enough to get there when he goes for anything, and the Brit ishers would discover that if they ever locked horns with him. According to the St. Louis Olobe Dtvtocrat, twenty -eight parachute jumpers were killed in this country last year. The parachutist who persists in that business is very apt to Bometime light with a sudden ness that will cause him to retire permanently from business. LOCAL DOTS. Cotton's good stuff. It was "out of sight" yesterday. Every cotton speculator is now thinking about his "future" state. Miss Mamie Alderman's Select School opened yesterday with a very large attendance. Miss Hamme's Music School opened yesterday with very flattering prospects for the Fall term. The minimum temperature yes terday morning at Charlotte and Oreensboro was 36 degrees.

Skinner, the former rector, preached at St Paul's Episco pal Church Sunday, to a large congre gation. Clyde steamer New York, Capt Ingram, arrived last night from New York, having made the run in 46 hours the quickest time on record. The government tug Cynthia, CapL Kermon, which is stationed for duty about Southport and the lower Cape Fear, came up to the city yester day. Rev. Wm.

Whatever the market price may be to-day, good cotton is intrinsically (not speculatively) worth 8 cents; and it will command that price to "him who waits." ' The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Managers of the Pro duce Exchange will be held at their rooms on Water street this morning at 11 o'clock. The review of the New York market for cotton futures, to be found in the commercial department of the Star this morning, will be read with unusual interest. The British steamship Slingsby, Capt.

A local buyer from a near by town, who was in the city yesterday, said that the mills were now offering $12 per ton or 18 cents per bushel f. o. b. the cars at his station, but that the farmers seemed inclined not to sell at even this figure less the agent's small margin of profit Last year's prices on October 1st, he said, were not more than $9 or $10 per ton, and there were plenty of them for sale. The North Carolina Cotton Oil Com pany's big plant, at Hilton, is expected to start up this morning a little late in the season on account of scarcity of material. A. More Hopefal Spirit The advance in cotton is a "big thing" for the South, and its good ef fects are plainly in evidence in Wil mington. A more buoyant spirit pre vails in business circles, and there is a well founded belief that there will be a marked improvement in trade and that the general omplaint of "poor collections" will be measurably relieved- BOARD OF ALDERMEN Many Matters Considered at Regular Monthly Meeting , Last Night. PRINCESS STREET HAVING. Will Begin at An Early Date Policemen, Janitor and Health Officer Elected. Work On the Market House. The Various Reports. The October meeting of the Board of Aldermen was held last night at 8 o'clock in the city court room. Mayor Waddell presided and all members were present except Aldermen Worth and MacRae. The Mayor called for reports of com mittees, and Alderman West, of the Market Committee, reported the rent ing of the various stalls and stores be longing to the city at the figures al ready published. The report and ac tion of the committee was confirmed. Mr. West said that it had been im possible to rent the store formerly oc cupied by Sneeden & Collins, for which they paid an annual rental of $300. He called attention to the un sightly condition of the building. Al derman Taylor made a motion that the place be rented for $200 or the building torn down, inasmuch as it was an eye sore to that part of the city. Alder man Parker favored renting it for $150 and a motion prevailed instructing the committee to rent for this amount or take steps to have it removed. Alderman Parker, for a special committee, reported repairs to Fifth Street Market at a cost of $25, which report was approved and this amount ordered paid. Alderman Woolard, for the same committee, reported that a contract had been awarded for the repair of Fourth Street Market at a cost of $149, which was likewise approved. A. J. Marshall, Esq., appeared be fore the board with a petition trom citizens asking that the market here tofore conducted as a city market at corner Eighth and Princess streets be continued as such, and therefore not liable to the privilege tax as under the former administration. No action was taken. ' The dismission by the Mayor of Policeman C. T. -Smaw and T. N. Simmons was confirmed. The resig nation of Policeman Simmons was read. The action of the Police Committee in placing Special Patrolmen, E. L. Smith and W. B. Brown on the per manent force was also confirmed. City Attorney Iredell Meares gave the board an interesting talk on the status of the several damage suits against the city and those against offi cers and members of the police force for alleged false arrests. He spoke en couragingly of the prospects for win ning most of them before the courts. It was the sense of the board that the city reimburse special Policeman Winner to the amount of $10 or $12 cost due in the Circuit Criminal Court arising from an action against him for a technical violation of the law in ar resting an alleged offender in the store of S. Siegler, the particulars of which case are familiar to Star readers. Alderman Hanby, chairman of the Public Building Committee, reported the dismissal by the Mayor of Night Janitor Ira Breece, which was con firmed after discussion by several members.

Princess Street Improvement. Alderman Taylor in presenting his report stated it was the purpose of his committee to begin as soon as practi cable the permanent improvement to Princess strret Mayor Waddell em phasized the need of such work to this now prominent thoroughfare. Alder man Taylor intimated that the maca dam was to be of the phosphate rock now in use on Castle street and the same as that used on Front, near Orange street. Alderman Sprin ger strenuously opposed this and con tended that in making up the annual budget for street improvement a more substantial street bed had been con templated else the amount set apart would not hare been made so great He said the property owners along this street would not sanction any im provement so inexpensive and at the same time so inadequate by reason of the prominence of the street Alder man Taylor stated that the paving con templated by Mr. Springer would cost upwards of $2,500 per block, while the macadam of lime stone would not exceed $500 in cost per block. The discussion ended with, no recommen dation and will be a matter for the committee to decide and recommend to the Board. Rontiae Matters. Rer. Father Dennen's request for some improvement in the condition of Dock between Second and Third streets was referred to the committee. Alderman Taylor reported that the Fire Committee was receiving bids for the erection of a steel bell tower for the fire alarm system. Alderman Parker contended for an early com pletion of the work, declaring that "we must have a bell." Alderman Hanby made a motion, which prevailed, that the appropriation for the public building department be increased $700 to provide for extraordi nary expense incident to the building of the new guard house. Alderman Springer contended that this should come out of the regular fund for this department and should not be an extra appropriation. Mr. A. P. Yopp, of the firm of Yopp & Helms, bicycle dealers and repair ers, asked for a reduction of tax com mensurate with that of W. D. C. Richardson, who by appealing to the last meeting of the board had his tax reduced from $2.50 per month to $2.00 per quarter, which is the tax on re pairers only. The action of the board with reference to Mr. Richardson was rescinded. Privileges were granted to parties to conduct meat markets outside of the city market houses as follows, the tax of $100 per year to be paid in ad vance : Palace Market, corner Market and Second streets ; W. A. Baldwin, 609 Castle street; Parlor Market, 18 North Front street; O. H. Kennaday, southwest corner Fourth and Castle streets; GL F. Cumber, Front and Queen streets. Slrioxent Bicycle Ordinance. Alderman Taylor moved that in view of recent decisions of the Su-. preme Court indicating that a city or town would be liable for damages in the event a pedestrian'was injured by being run over by a bicyclist on the sidewalk, that the area in which bicycles cannot be ridden on the sidewalks be extended to cover the entire city. The motion, after some discussion, was car ried, and the clerk was instructed to advertise that such an ordinance would go into effect October 15th. The stall in Fourth street market formerly occupied by E. M. Green, was rented to Cornelius Hayes for $48 per year. It was ordered that each foreman of the fire engine houses be sworn in by the Mayor as a special policeman.
