In 1870 Alabama mined 13,200 tons of coal. Last year she mined 7,000,000 tons, and will mine a good deal more when she gets her hand in. Herr Behrend, of Hamburg, has invented a steam engine which it is claimed gives fifty per cent, more power with the same amount of fuel than the best engines now in use. After all the fuss made over it in St. Louis, twelve bottles of Missis sippi water sent to Washington for analysis failed to show any sewerage pollution. Perhaps it couldn't stand bottling. The Prince of Wales ate a 10-cent .dinner in a cheap restaurant in Lon don a few days ago. He doesn't do that very often, it ia only when he wants a complete change in bill of fare, and to attract some public at tention. It is said that the Washington Government has not abandoned the itfea of buying the islands of - St. Inomas and Santa Cruz from Den mark. After awhile England will want to be dumping some of her old islands on us. Congressman Landis, of Indiana, pitched hay when he was a lad, worked in a gravel-pit when a young man and went to school after he grew up. Pitching hay and working in gravel-pita is pretty good exercise for the right kind of a boy. There is a bill before the Legisla ture of New York making kidnap ping a crime punishable with im prisonment for life. A better way would be to take the kidnapper when caught out to the bay or some other deep pool and drop him down to the bottom of it. A Mew York man (who is pro bably interested in theVanting busi ness) suggests sending a lot of XT. 8. flags to the Philippines bo that the people there may become accustomed to seeing them. These flags would come in very handy for making shirt waist3, &c, for the girls. A New York jury has given a woman damages against a street rail way for being hurt by a fat man tossed upon her by a sudden start of the' car. ' From this it may be in ferred that juries think that women travelling on the cars in that town Bhouldbe protected from fat men. For State Senator, K I, UIIRTillt LOCAL DOTS.

Given Last Night by Wilmington Light Infantry to Confed- I crate Veterans. AN ELABORATE FUNCTION. Etetait Bsnqaet Served aid Snperb En tertslsmest Accorded Members of Case Fear Camp, U. C. V. Aa j Evening of Esjsymeit. , It was entertainment royal and hos pitality characteristic only of the Wil mington Light Infantry that attended last evening's reception by the com pany to the veterans of Cape Fear Camp No. 254, U. C. V., and the occa sion will go down in the memories of those present as one replete with gen uine pleasure and overflowing with good fellowship between those who wore the "gray" on the one hand and their enthusiastic "sons" of the W. L. L, who last night royally demonstrated their appreciation of the soldiers ot by gone . days in the elaborate function given in their honor. The handsome armory of the W. L. I., on Market street one of the finest in the South had been handsomely and. appropriately dec-" orated with Confederate flags, bunt ing, - mosses ' and evergreens by the committee of arrangements, con sisting of Mr. George P. James, presi dent of the company; Mr. N. E. Gil- lican, vice president of the company; Mr. R N. Sweet, an honorary mem ber of the company; and the elegant and spacious rooms of the building presented a scene of splendor and bril liancy, which made them inviting and superlatively cheerful. The committee in the decoration was ably assisted by Messrs. Hall Whitney, J. Marion Woodward and others of the com pany, who worked industriously and contributed largely to the success of the event from a decorative point! of view. The Infantry was formed into line on the drill grounds at 8:15 o'clock by Capt. C. H. White and with them di rectly facing the W. L I. the mem bers of Cape Fear Camp under com mand of Capt. James I Metts, who with his command were escorted to the ntrancs of tbe assembly room, where they were met by the reception and arrangement committees already men tioned together with Lieutenant C. jS. Grainger and ushered to seats around the banquet board which was prepared in' long columns parallel with tne room. When the company and camp of Veterans had been seated Capt. White in behalf of the company in a neat little speech couched in well ar ranged words of cordiality and good cheer, formally welcomed the veter ans to the feast of good things that ' had been prepared for them. The welcome was responded to in fitting terms by Commander James I. Metts, of Cape Fear Camp and CoL A. M. WaddelL both of whom were unsparing in their expres sions of grateful appreciation of the honor conferred upon the Confed erates. While gathered in the assembly room the participaat in the reception were treated to a vocal selection, "My Creole Sue," rendered in a most skill ful manner by the W. L. L Quartette, composed of Messrs O. P. Peck, O. A. Wiggins, Jr., B. A. Jones, Jr., and Hall Whitney. To this tbe quartette was compelled by long and vigorous applause to respond to an encore. Fol lowing this were selections by the W. L. L Mandolin Club, composed of Messrs. James Stevenson, Frank Pin ner, J. McRee Ha ten and O. A. Wig gins, Jr. They played "Daughters of Love," a waltz, and responded to an encore with a medley "Carolina" and "Dixie," - which was greeted with vigorous cheers by the Veterans and Infantry boys. ! After the music, the attendants upon the celebration partook i of the very elegant and elaborate i banquet that had been spread and good fellow ship and words of good cheer reigned supreme. The banquet room was taxed to its utmost capacity and for the tinse being the reading room across the hall was made the scene of banqueting and refreshment ! serving. 1 It was,all told.a jolly good time and the veterans again became! young, sung songs and the jolly Capt. O. A. Wiggins brought down the house after the banquet with enlivening banjo music which was characteristic of Southern camp fires during the civil war. ! Reference to the splendid decora tions has already been madej and to a civilian it would seem impossible to enter into a detailed description of this feature of the reception; to I describe the arrangements of the flags; the significance of each -arrangement and the hundred and one other things that are appreciated by those versed in military affairs and the his tory of our Southern Confederacy. On entering the assembly room one finds the whole apartment brilliantly lighted and bedecked with bunting, Confederate flags, evergreens, and the national colors the red, white and blue. Over the rostrum the ceiling is draped with large war flags of the Lost Cause. Upon the walls are hung pic tures of memorable battle scenes ; noted Confederate leaders, and among them are portraits of Capt Donald MacRae, of Co. K, U. 8. V. ; Capt. T. a James, late commanding officer of the W. L. I., and many others. Upon the ros trum in the assembly room is the Colt's rapid firing gun, bearing the significant placard: "The Buck Kenan, Nov. 10th, 1898," and about the room at convenient stations are other like ornaments. Notable among the refreshments were; tiny cakes bearing the. letters "W. L. 1" and "U. C. V.," many of which were taken home-by the Veter ans as souvenirs in addition to corn cob pipes, upon the stem of each of which a tiny bow of white ribbon bore the inscription: "W. L. I. to O. F. a; March 20th, 1900." These were distributed to to those present as the "official" souvenirs of' the occa aion. r . - . . Suffice it to say ia conclusion that the enthusiastic boys of the W. L. L will long be held in grateful remem brance by every Veteran who shared their hospitality last evening and the W. L-1, f boys in turn will always feel the happier for the cordial recogni tion of their appreciation of the "old TICKETS BEING ARRANGED.

Biddle for The office of Register of Deeds is unquestionably an important one and one which involves great carefulness, skill and sobriety, and it is therefore, with these elements in mind, a duty which each citizen owes to himself and his com munity to cast his vote for the man who most thoroughly possesses these quali fications. W. EL Biddle's career in the Register's office hat been characterized by these qualities. The citizen has little to no with the records, save that he wishes them kept properly, but it is the lawyer who has to battle with errors, mistakes and incompetency and under Mr. Biddle's administration (so favor ably in contrast to that of former Registrar's), hardly a day passes but that some attorney comments on the clear, accurate and careful manner in which the records are kept. Therefore it is a duty as well as a privilege to nominate Mr. Biddle for re election ; not only as a reward for services well done, but as a benefit to the people, insuring for ourselves and posterity well kept records for New Hanover county. 2tt Lawxer. Frank Stedman. That he is not perfect his friends are willing to admit That the rewards he has received, he did not receive without personal brave ry, daring and risk, which no one else then saw fit to undertake; and that he has not been over rewarded for such service, and in serving with integrity and ability at a former time in the office he now seeks, his friends contend. That in various articles in the papers recently, attempts have been made, un der cover of "printers ink," to defame, belittle and bemean his candidacy and his claims, evidently hopinjr to prejudice public opinion against him by sar casm and malice, his friends have seen. I i - ' .... That these articlt a have been without foundation, and have been cloaked in such manner that they could not be replied to, and that they have been un manly, unfair and wide of the mark of true Democracy, his friends declare. That you will give him your support for having remained dignified through all of these attacks, and for his having been always true to his friends, both high and low, true to his party and just to his opponents his friends ask. 2t t A Family Affair. Jokes, even" when their publication ia paid for out of the "campaign fund," at advertising rates, may be amusing to their j authors ;but the SERIOUS QUESTION for the people of New Hanover to consider, before casting their SS2liM the HIGHEST AND MOST LUCRATIVE OFFICES of the county are to be parcelled out AMONG THE MEMBERS OF ONE FAMILY.

"The United States engineers, who are making a preliminary survey of the Cape Fear for the purpose of reporting on the canalization of the river, returned to their wharf on the east side of the river Saturday after a week's absenee and left again this morning in a small boat for another trip down the river.
