One vineyard lost 150 tons. The girl ia coming to the front in Germany. Three years ago there were only 177 in the ten great schools of that country, while now there are over 400. When a Boer soldier goes out for business he gets himself inside of a seven-story cartridge belt, and then he is ready to perform. He looks like a walking arsenal. Horses are now almost as cheap in the famine districts of Russia as they were some time ago in Colorado and Montana. They are selling now as low as 50 cents a head It is said that Gen. Fanston will be the Republican candidate for Congressman at large in Kansas. Funston is not very large, but if there by any creek swimming in his campaign he will be in it. The smallest baby on record pass ed away in New York a few days ago, a oi inch one which weighed 17 ounces. It was being kept in an in cubator and although it seemed to be doing well, fell into a sleep from which it could not be wakened. California has this year broken the record in fruit shipments East, 18,000 car loads against 14,000 for the best previous year. Much of this fruit was grown on what not many years ago was called arid land, which irrigation brought to life. Heptane is one of the by -products of crude petroleum. It is the last thing they get out of it, and the only thing they can't get something else out of. But there isn't any particular use for it, and if there were, great economy would be exer cised in the use of it, as it costs about $3,000 to make a pint of it. Paul Kmger says if war come with the British the Boers need not be afraid, for "the Lord is on their side." At the time of the Jameson raid, "although bullets came by the thousand, not a burgher was touched, while over a hundred of the raiders were killed, which showed that the Lord directed the burghers' bullets. Bat the burghers, all the same, do a good deal of practicing in marks manship. The City is Orowiag . Wilmington's population is grow g, as may be judged from the many new- faces one sees on the streets. Another evidence of this fact is that among the new pupils entered so far for the public schools, to open to-morrow, are children whose parents hare recently removed to our city from Goldsboro, N. V Greensboro, N. C, Charlotte, N. C. and Richmond, V. LOCAL DOTS. The Clyde steamship New York will leave at daylight this morning for New York. During the past week- licenses were issued for the marriage of three white couples and two colored. Rer. J. T. Beits missionary of the Cape Fear Association has ar rived in the city 'and will conduct ser vices this morning and evening at Southside Baptist church. The deer in the Cedar Creek neighborhood, Cumberland county, are said to be dying of black tongue. In two days recently thjee dead bucks were found in the woods. Mr. E. D. Wessell has opened a grocery business on corner of Love's alley and Nixon street. Mr. Wessell says that his "friends and enemies" are invited to call on him at his new store. Only one case was tried by Justice Fowler yesterday. Win. Tel fair was arraigned for abandonment of his wife, Henrietta Telfair, but by consent the prosecutrix paid the costs and quashed the indictment. The Savannah News says the Georgia lumbermen are now enjoying the most satisfactory state of affairs that has been known in the lumber business in that State, since 1872. The demand for yellow pine lumber is strong and prices high. Cotton receipts yesterday were very light, only 1,547 bales having been brought in on -the various trans portation lines. Receipts on the cor responding date last year were 4,210- bales. The quotations are steady at 6 J- cents for middling. There were no sales of spirits turpentine on the local market yes terday and the leceipts continue -very light. Purchasers offered 4848i cents yesterday, but sellers held for 4Si to 49 cents. Prices of other naval stores were unchanged. The guaranteed regular every day circulation of The Morning Stab ia much larger than (hat of any other daily newspaper published in Wil mington. This claim has never been challenged by any competing news paper. Capt. Robert Green, chief quarantine officer, left yesterday for Florence, S. C, to round up some parties who hail from the yellow fever infected district. He will see that they don't head for Wilmington. Just at present people from Key West are persona rum, grata in these diggings. The shooner Wtn. F. Green, Capt. Jonsson, came up from South port yesterday, looking none the worse for her reported rough expe rience on the occasion of the West India hurricane. Miss Hannah Jons son, the captain's daughter, arrived on the schooner and is the guest of the family of Mr. A. S. Heide. For the week ending last night the police had made 25 arrests ; 17 of the offenders being white and 8 col- ored. 01 this number three were sent. to the Criminal Court two for assault and battery with a deadly weapon and one for larceny.

The general rise in cotton and the healthy conditions which are begin ning to prevail in commercial circles as a necessary result of this good for tune which has come to the farmer, is beginning to be felt in Wilmington, and a Stab representative was told yesterday on the wharf that within a few weeks two new wholesale grocery establishments would be added to the city's already large quota of enter prises in this direction. One of the number is said to be a large and re sponsible firm of the growing town of Mullins, & C, and the other will be an enterprise backed by local capital. Both will be received cordially by Wilmington's business men. Fosersl of Mrs. Proff Itt. The remains 6f the late Mrs. M. A.

The preparations which have been set on foot and main tained with admirable system and marked activity have assumed the most elaborate shape.

There was 14.8 feet of water in the Cape Fear at 8 o'clock yesterday morn ing and the river reported rising.

The window is filled with No. 15 men's brogan "toga," and upon the toe of each is perched a tiny boy's shoe, the striking contrast presenting an amusing and very "catchy" ap pearance. In the rear a placard an nounces that 2,000 feet are wanted to fit shoes between these sizes, which, of course embrace everything from the fabled feet of Cinderilla or the more modern "Trilby" to the pedal extremF ties of the old time plantation darkey.

He has, however, assurances that the convicts will soon begin work on a more extensive scale and that the supply of rock will not be so limited. When asked about the Princess street work under contem plation, he stated that ; he thought it was the purpose of the Streets and Wharves Committee of the Board of Aldermen to instruct that the work be entered upon just as soon as the rock began coming in quantities to warrant a start being made even before, he added, the Castle street work which has been extended from Front to Fourth, is completed. There are those who will contend that the prominence' of Princess street as a business thoroughfare demands a more sub stantial improvement than the ma cadam in other sections of the city, as was voiced by Alderman Springer at the last regular meeting of the Alder men. .
