The New York Journal is getting lots of free advertising now. Gen. Kitchener wants 25,000 men mounted to chase the Boers. The horse continues to be a considerable factor in that business. Senator Wellington is doing some more denying and charging it to the mean newspapers which don't like him.. The trouble with him is that he didn't begin to deny, until every one lost interest in his denials. Sir Charles Warren, who saw ser vice in South Africa and got knocked out at Spion Kop, says the matter with the British army down there isn't the superiority of the Boers but the inferiority of the British. Admiral Dewey says what the Court of Inquiry wants is facts, not newspaper articles and interviews. He is altogether right. But it may be incidentally remarked that he is not now as partial to the newspaper interview as he erstwhile was. A political convention in New J ersey the other day led off with "Nearer, My God, to Thee," by the band, and the echoes had hardly died out before one of the members was ! making frantic efforts to get nearer to another fellow who had called him several kinds of a liar. An explorer among old books re cently struck on one by a Russian priest, written in the sixteenth cen tury, in which he defended the whipping of wives by their bus bands as good for discipline and also for their health. It isn't known whether this old fellow died a nat ural jdeath or was struck, by light ning; A man has recently died in Cats kill, N. Yf, who has been getting along without a stomach for four teen months and never knew it. There was something radically wrong with that organ and the surgeons concluded that it was necessary to remove it, which they did, without letting him know anything about it. But there are some men who lose their heads and never seem to know it.! The statesmen of Kansas are dis gusted with some experiments they made to get rid of the prairie dogs, which seem to be objectionable in some parts of that State. The last Legislature appropriated $5,000 to be invested in poison stuff to feed the dogs. Now there are but a few hundred dollars left, and instead of exterminating the little dogs they have increased and multiplied and grown fat and saucy on the piaen. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

"Thelma," Moaday Night's Opera House Attraction, Said to be Floe. "Thelma," Marie Corelli's novel and great tale, comes to the Opera House Monday night in the shape of one of the most successful dramas of the day. For both public and press praise, it stands unrivalled, and this alone is an absolute guarantee of its merit and an indication of the splendid treat in store for Wilmington theatre-goers. The Greensboro Record of Wednes day accorded the play and company an excellent criticism. In reference to the superb special staging the paper said: "For scenic effect and magnifi cence of the stage settings, Thelma,' presented last night under the man agement of Aiden Benedict, has never been equalled inGreensboro." And referring to the company: "'Thelma' is not an easy mark. A good east is required to produce it and this Mr. Benedict has." For the performance here seats are now obtainable at Gerken's.

It Will be a Handsome Street Attraction at the Temple-Further Subscriptions Received and a Call for Collec tionFair Notes. All the surplus energy of the Elk carnival promoters is concentrated just now in urging upon merchants and tradesmen the benefit to themselves that will accrue in the tftsUding of booths for fair week. Little argument is needed to the more enterprising storekeepers, for many of them have grasped with alacrity the opportunity offered in the carnival for displaying their goods and turning the gala affair into individual profit There will be' hundreds of visitors here during V week and, of course, every merchant who has a creditable display will re ceive more or less favorable comment Mr: EL J. Gerken, chairman of the Fair Executive committee, and Mr. F. C. Huffman, the adviser, have been engaged the past several Jays in setting forth to the mer chants the benefits to be derived from the building of business booths, and have received very sub stantial encouragement from most of those visited. Others are yet to be seen, however, and the indications are that Front and intersecting streets will be in gala attire during the week. The fair promoters have no interest what ever in the matter of the booth build ing beyond that they are very desirous that the Carnival district will present a scene befitting such an occasion. Those who have thus far officially signified their intentions of erecting trade displays are as follows : J. G, 8kipper, J. H. Tucker, J. Hicks Bunt ing, J. D. Nutt G. O. Gay lord, Elks' Country Store, Geo. R. French & Sons, V. E. Z oilers & Co., Johnson Dry Goods Company, J. W. Murchi son & Co., A. Shrier, J. M. Solky, Chesnutt & Barentine, R. F. Hamme, O. P. Cazaux & Co., Warren's Bakery and Cafe, Geo. Honnett, H. J. Ger ken, Kress & Co., The C. W. Polvogt Co., Peterson & Rulfs, R. R. Bellamy, A. Mavronichols, Taylor's Bazaar, E. Warren & Son, J. H. Rehder & Co. One of tne most handsome of the street displays will be an "arch of wel come" which will be extended across the street in front of the Elks' Temple. The contract for the wood work was yesterday let to Contractor F. A. Ap- plegate and decorations for the same have been ordered by wire. There will be a driveway under the arch on each side by the car track and, of course, a passage for the trolleys in the centre. On the arch amid the decorations - will be 150 white and colored incandescent lights. The Elks are sparing no pains to make their individual contribution to the street display one of the most handsome of all. About the Subscription Committee. Of course nothing can be accom plished without money and the Elks have realized this all along. Modest requests have been made from time to time of different merchants for sub scriptions to a fund from which they alone can be the beneficiaries. These requests in the main have been re sponded to with, liberality but the "chute" is still open and Mr. L. Stein, chairman of the committee in charge of that department would be glad to hear from others. Contributions during the past few days have been received from the following: Wilmington Live Stock Co. Pannill Paint Co., G. W. Linder, J. W. Plummer, Jr. The Coal, Cement and Supply Co., Wilmington Iron Works, Jos. Sneeden, D. L. T. Capps, Jno. H. Har din, Life Insurance Company of Vir ginia, Wilmington Gas Light Com pany. Thus far no call has been made for payment of the subscriptions made from time to time, but now the sub scription committee is sending out the folio wine letter which explains itself: Dear Sib: Being desirous of making speedy collections on account of having a great -deal of incidental expenses to pay out prior to the inaug uration of our "Street Fair and Car nival," we have taken this opportunity to request that you send us your do nation in the enclosed stamped envel ope. Hoping that this meets your approbation, and again thanking you for your kindly feeling and co-opera tion, and wishing you every success, we are. Fraternally yours, L. STEiK(Chairman) for Committee. Small Fires Yesterday. The department responded to two alarms of fire yesterday. The first was from box 49 at 3:30 P. M. and the cause was a slight blaze which dam aged to the extent of about $15 a small dwelling house at No. 618 South Fourth street owned by Jane Mc Donald, colored, and occupied by Janie McGee, also colored. The Becond alarm at 7:44 P. M. was on account of an accident in overturning a lamp at the residence of Mr. G. EL Walsh, No. 713 Princess street The damage was about $10. Cape Fear Golf Club. . The Stab ia requested to say for the benefit of members that the Cape Fear Golf Club house will be open this afternoon and the links ready for play. . The club house has been closed for the Summer, and many of the de votees of the game have awaited with interest the approach of Autumn, the presence of which is now made known by the cold, crisp atmosphere of today.
