Last year this country shipped $$2,000,000 worth of corn to foreign countries. Ten years ago the ship ments amounted to only $17,000,000. By August 1st there were twenty oil wells in Texas. August added twenty-three and September twen ty, making sixty-three, with more to come. The French people are the most heavily taxed people in the world, and yet that government is spending $25,000,000 a year more than its in come. Encouraged by two successful attempts to shoot Niagara Falls in a boat, Peter Nissen of Chicago may keep at it until he provides a cen tral figure for a funeral. It is said that the fees of the doc tors and surgeons who attended President McKinley after he was shot will aggregate $100,000, which means pretty liberal pay all around. British soldiers returning from South Africa would much rathe have their back pay than the medals they are presented with. The me dals will not buy eatables and soft drinks, and "glory" without these would be rather thin and dry. Bishop Derrick advises the col ored people that they need not look for sympathy to England. She has all she can attend to on her own ac count. Judging from her sympathy aa shown in her dealings with the negroes in Africa, it isn't of a very high order anyway. A report comes from Washington that Senator Hanna is not in accord with President Boosevelt in the policy of his Southern appoint ments to office and will emphasize his disapproval by resigning his po sition as Chairman of the National Republican committee. If President Boosevelt doesn't have a distinguished and historic ancestry it will not be the fault of the genealogical tree climbers. One of them has succeeded in tracing him back to 8ir Bobert Bruce, and will doubtless get him back to Al fred the Great before he finishes the job. - Several indictments have been found against Neely and Bathbone, in the case of the Havana postoffi.ee thievery.

"Best People on Earth" Donned Fantastic Costumes and Captured the Crowds. , Midnight Walk of Ghosts Post poned Country Store. "Elks' Day" at the Carnival yester day was the , "biggest of them all." The crowds on the Midway and various streets down-town were larger than on any night previous, not excepting the opening. During the day people were also here in large numbers, many of them being visitors from adjacent towns and from the country. All the various shows were well patronized and every where the Carnival spirit was supreme. The extra and regular trains on the railroads brought large crowds and the steam boats also pour ed into the city a goodly number of visitors. The steamer Wilmington brought a party of about 100 from Southport and other boats on the river did. their share in this respect The steamer Driver brought an ex cursion party from up the Cape Fear. The crowning feature of Elks' day was the fantastic parade of Wilming ton Lodge No. 532, last night at 9 o'clock. It was witnessed by thous ands of people and excited no little interest and amusement The Elks appeared in fantastic and ludicrous costumes and fitted their actions to their appearance in a manner that was highly creditable and entertaining. It was arranged by the Amusement Com mittee and successfully executed in the most minute particular. The cos tumes were ordered from Washington, D. C, and arrived just in time for distribution. That very little time was given for arrangements reflects all the more credit on the enterprising committee consisting of Mr. Thos. W. Davis (chairman), John D. Bellamy, Jr.. 3rd, W. G. Elliott" Jr., E. J. Bear, W. A. French, Jr., J. P. Tay lor, F. P. Turrentineand 8. A. Schloss. Contrary to the rule of most parades, that of the Elks last night moved promptly on time. The route was from the Temple to Nun street up Nun to Third, down Third to Mars ket, to Front and back again to the Temple. All along the line the Elks were greeted with tumultuous ap plause and it. was the universal opinion, that the parade was the most creditable feature of the entire Fair and there have been many good ones. The parade passed as follows: Dr. T. B. Carroll, the Irish police man. Platoon of Wilmington Police. H. J. Gerken, Boosevelt Hollowbush's Band. Adolph Goodman, aide-de-camp.

Ghost Parade Postponed. The ghost parade did not take place at one minute past twelve as was ex peoted owing to the impossibility of securing as many torch lights as were expected. The necessary illuminating "sticks" will, however, reach-the city this morning and Mr. Davis, chairman of the committee, authorizes the ' posi tive announcement that it will take place at 11 o'clock to-night The earlier hour will afford an opportunity to a larger number of people to witness the weird performance and ghosts, spooks and fantastic visions will flit by to the awe and terror of all who care to witness it Every Elk io the city is expected to report at the .

The Elks' Country Store. The Country Store last night almost exhausted its entire stock, and mer chants will be called upon to-day for a replenishment' About $600 has been taken in from this source thus far and as it all goes to the Elks without con dition it is hoped that the contribu tions of merchandise will be substan tial. 8tock is wanted sufficient to run the store through to night A num ber of the valuable prizes, including the rocking chair, oil stove, pearl brooch and gun have not been disposed of but these will positively "go" to-day according to the announcement of the management The "best foot" of the proprietors of the country store will be put forward to-day and those who are wise will be the patrons of the establishment.

The government has already appropriated $500 for the additional lights and they will be established just as soon as possible.

Hearing May Get to the Jnry, To-day Other Notes. There was little yesterday of general interest in either of the courts 'now in session at Wilmington. The Federal Court convened at 10 o'clock A. M. and was in session only thirty min utes, having adjourned at 10:30 A. M. subject to the further orders' of the Judge. The Superior Court was en gaged the entire day until 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon in a continued hearing of the Kirven case from South Carolina. Adjournment for the day was taken until 9:30 o'clock this morn ing. The case of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company against J. P. Kir ven has engaged the attention of the Superior Court since Tuesday after noon. It involves the title to 100 bales of cotton approximating in value $2,- 400 and shipped to Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son in the Fall of 1898. The defendant J. P. Kirven was indebted by lien to the plaintiff in the sum of about $3,200 and the plaintiff claimed that the cotton shipped to Messrs. Sprunt & Son was the property of Kirven, the defendant who, on the other hand, claimed that the cotton was the property of his brother, E. E. Kiiven. The latter, claiming the cot toa, demanded payment for the same nod the Vtrginia-Caroliaa Chemical Company entered suit and attached the money in the hands of Messrs. Sprunt & Son. It is to settle this con troversy that the court is now en gaged. The hearing of defendant's witnesses was resumed yesterday and concluded about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The plaintiff then began introducing evidence in rebuttal of that offered by the defendant This will be conclud ed with the examination of one or two other witnesses this morning and the attorneys will then address the jury.
