James i ester dsy Morals, at 4 O'clock A Newapa per Ufe of Forty Years. , It is painful for the Stab to chroni tu- ucaiu ui air. j oen x. James a prominent citizen of Wilmington, and one of the best known newspaper men in North Carolina. He passed away yesterday morning at 4 o'clock at his home on Third and Grace streets. For several years he has bad attacks of in uammatory rheumatism, and during the past six months has been a great sufferer at periods. About six weeks ago he took to his bed, and constantly declined till the end came. Joshua TUlinghast James was the eldest son of the late Mr. John 8. James, and was born in Wilmington February 3, 1839, having reached the 60th year of his age on the 3rd of last February. Mr. James received his education principally at the Wilmington Iusti tute, of which the late Mr. L. Megin uoj was principal, wnen quite a young man he developed a talent for journalism, and prior to the civil war was employed on the local staff of the Wilmington Herald, an influen tial Whig paper, owned and edited by the late Messrs. C E. and R. Burr, brothers of the late gifted, Col. Jas, G. Burr. At the beginning of the war. in 1861, he entered' the Confederate service and was second lieutenant of the Wilmington Rfle Guards, com manded by Capt. O P. Meares, after wards judge of the Criminal Court. He went with the company to aid in the seizure of Fort Caswell at the be ginning ot nosuuties. After tne re organisation of the North Carolina troops the Rifle Guards became Com pany I, Eighteenth regiment, North Carolina volunteers. He served on the 8outh Carolina coast a while, and at the expiration of twelve months, for which period he enlisted, he re enusiea in a cavalry company, com manded by Capt. Andrew Mela tire Having caught cold while ia camp in South Carolina his hear ing was so seriously affected that he was detailed to the transportation department of the Confederate States government at this place. He was un willing to accept a discharge, de airing to serve his country as best he could. . He was an enthusiastic and de voted adherent -of the Confederate cause and the injury which his hear ing received in the service lasted him through life. At the conclusion of the civil war, Mr. James engaged in the real estate business with Capt. T. D. Meares, of this city, under the firm name of James & Meares. Subsequently he re entered journalism and was local editor of that staunch and fearless paper, the Daily Journal, having succeeded his brother, the late Capt. John C. James, the latter retiring from the staff of the Journal to engage in other business. For a while after the civil war Mr. James also did work on the Daily Post, a Republican paper, but always a firm Democrat, he had it dis tinctly understood that he was only to write of matters not connected with politics. He also worked a while on a pa per called The Herald of the Union, published by a Northern man. In the seventies Mr. James estab lished The Daily Review, an afternoon paper, which he kept up till a year ago. when he suspended it on account of bad health. He subsequently revived it and conducted it a few months, but owing to nis aecanipg neaitn ne again suspended the paper, and de voted his entire attention to his job printing business. Mr. James. was a vigorous and fear less writer, and was a staunch Demo crat and devoted son of North Caro lina. He despised shams, and was a man of firm character, positive man ner and unbending integrity. He was devoted to his aged father and was much affected by his death, which oc curred October 21st, 1897. Ia his home life he was true and affectionate. He was mirried February 19th, 1871. to Miss Mary Cowan London, daughter of the late H. A London, of Pitts boro. She survives him, without children. He leaves three sisters and one brother Misses Hettie and R. Julia James, of this city, and Mrs. Spencer LeGrand. of Norfolk, and Capt Thomas C. James, for many years agent for the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad in this city. and now inap-otor of gateways for the Associated Railways of Virginia and the Carolinas with headquarters at Atlanta. They have the sincere con dolence of a large circle of friends in this city and a large portion of North Carolina. The funeral will take place this afternoon at St. John's Episcopal church, of which the deceased was a communicant Cape Fear Camp, No. 25s, Uaited Confederate Veteran; of which Mr. James was a member, will meet at the residence at 3.45 if. Al and will accompany the remains to the church. Capt W. Ii. Londor, Mr. H. A. London, editor of the Chatham Record, and Mrs. L. J. Haughton, of Pittaboro, brothers and sister of Mrs. James, arrived here last evening to at tend the funeral. Mrs. LieGrand is expected here this morning. Trices Wboopiog. Mr. A. David, who returned Sunday from New York, tells the Stab that prices are still going up in all lines of goods. Jobbers who sold goods thirty days ago, are only too glad to cancel orders and -they do so upon the least excuse. Things are whooping, because. it is said, of the large export business . . from this country to foreign markets. TUB MASCOT. A Capltsl Presentation of Qood Play at tbe Opera Hoose Last Nixht. The tuneful opera, "The Mascot," was presented last night' by the Dan Packard Opera Company. . which is composed of an excellent caste of clever players, to one of the largest and most fashionable audiences of the season, who showed at all times their appreciation of the fine singing and good acting of these artists by their generous applause. Long before the time for the performance to com mence ithe "S. R. O." sign was hung out in front of the ticket office: Miss Josephine Kirkwood, in the title role, Fiametta, is not only gifted with beauty, but her charming man ner as well as superb acting and voice, keeps the audience with her and they were delighted whenever she ap peared. Mr. war wick uanor, as Jfippo, a shepherd, has a fine baritone voice and his acting at all times was good. Mr. Chas. Holmes, as Prince Fred erick, has a sweet tenor and the audi ence showed the appreciation of his singing by numerous encores. The comedy line was in the hands of Messrs. Moantjoy Walker and Gil bert Clayton, who are two first class comedians. The company is a strong one, and by far one of the best repertoire com panies that has ever visited this city. To-night they will present "Fra Di avola," and no doubt the house will be packed. Week of Prayer st the Y. M. C. A. The week of prayer began last even ing at the auditorium of the Young Men's Christian Association. There was a good attendance, and interest ing services were conducted by the Rev. Hay Watson Smith. His sub ject was "The Defects of Our Service." He spoke of the imp irtanoe of looking after the spiritual welfare of young men, and spoke under the head: "Is the Young Man Absolom Safef safe in society.safe in his home life, safe in business! He took the opportunity to speak of what the Y. M C. A. could do to make young men safe from evil influences. The committee on religious serfice was present and manifested nuch in terest in the meeting. It Bas been decided, during these meetings, to sus pend all n:ght work in the school and gymnasium, etc, so as to give promi nence to the religious work of the asso ciation and secure a proper observance of the week of prayer. All young men are iavited and urged to attend these services. The hour for the meetings have been changed to 8:30 P. M. in stead of 9 P. M. To-night the Rev. Dr. Strange will conduct the service.

The Act of the General Assembly of North Ciroliaa, rati fid March 6th, 1898, and known as the "Willard Act" because it was originated and iutro duced by Representative M. 8. Wil lard, of this city, has had the effect of reducing insurance on certain risks jn this State. &i a meeting oi tne executive com mittee of the Southeastern Tariff Association in Atlanta November 8tb, the following action was taken: TTt . ma vv iiiKKAS, xne present insurance laws of the 8tate of North Carolina provide for the payment of 2 per cent tax. on the cross premiums in said State, which, is in full of all State and municipal taxation; and, whereas, the laws of said State provide for the pro tection of companies that comDlv with its laws against irresponsible outside competition; and, whereas, said laws provide for official investieation of all losses by fire, with a view to detection and punishment of crime and preven tion of fires by negligence and. unnec essary causes, thereby reducing the fire waste; and, whereas, since the en actment of said law there seems to be some abatement of fires, and it is be iieved that the effect of said laws mav tena to aecrease tne waste of the com monwealth, thus preserving tbe sources of the State's revenues and in creasing the chance of legitimate proht to intelligent underwriting. therefore be it Resolved, That in addition to the reduction heretofore made of 331 per cent from the basis rates on dwellings ana Darns, a reduction of 25 per cent, to 33i per cent, from the basis rates on dwellings and contents in cities and towns, and a similar reduction on churches, schools and public build ings and contents throughout said State be, and is hereby, authorized, as per revised basis rates for such risks in JNortu Carolina attached hereto. tins reduction not to effect existing policies. As will be seen by the resolutions, the reduction is on dwellings and con tents in cities and towns, churches, schools, public buildings and con tents. It is understood that the new rate goes into effect at once and ap plies as fast as all old policies expire. It is said that it means a saving in Wilmington of from $5,000. to $10,000 a year over the rate which prevailed last year. Tbe action of the Southeastern Tariff Association is quite a compliment to Mr. Willard. Insurance men pro nounce it the best and most equitable law covering insurance, and the Southeastern Association is making an effort to have it universally adopted as a model and enacted by the Legis latures of all the Southern States. METEORS THIS WEEK. A Brilliant Display Expected Early To morrow Mornlsg. The November meteors, about which so much has been published, recently, are due this week, and naked eyes and telescopes will be turned upon them in all parts of the Uaited States when they arrive. According to the best authority it is thought that their brightness can best be seen in this locality on Wednesday morning, Nov ember 15. between midnight and 5. AM. They may b appareat, pissi- bly. upon two nights on either side of this date, but it is during the five hours mentioned that the astronomers expect them in their greatest bril Iiancy. An Associated Press dispatch from Cambridge, Mass , Suaday night says: 'Prof. Edward C. Pickering, of the Harvard Observatory, has issued the following bulletin: - ' The time of appearance of the November meteors is somewhat uncer tain. In 1799 they appeared in the night between November 11 and No vember 12; in 1833 on November 12-13, and in 1866 on November 13-14. This year, therefore, we might expect them early in tbe morning of Wednesday, November 15. Ua the other hand, two English astronomers Messrs. Stoney and Downing from a careful discus sion of tbe paths of these meteors, pre diet their appearance on tne morning of Thursday, November 16. In 1833 the priBcipal shower lasted five or six Hours; in loots for less tnan one Hour. In any case, comparatively few me teors may be expected before midnight. It would be safest therefore, to .watch the northeastern sky on both Tuesday and Wednesday evening, and, if many meteors are seen before midnight a greater number may be expected later.' " THE MYSTIC SHBINEBS. Special Seaaloa at Charleston, S. G. Bxeon ons ana a Banq.net Among-the Features. Imperial Potentate, John H. At- wood, has granted a dispensation for Oasis Temple of tbe Mystic Shriners to noia a ousintss ana ceremonial session in Charleston, S.

' benefit of candi dates who reside in Sjuth Carolina, but North Carolina candidates will be welcomed at the same time, and the occasion affords a splendid opportu nity for the "Sons of the Des-rt" in both of the Carolinas to visit this his torical city and enjoy tbe festivities of the occasion.
