And there is woman suffrage in that State too. But this law was passed before the women voted, and the "knees down" requirement has not yet been eliminated. A correspondent of a Chicago pa per, writing from Syria, says the ransom of Miss Stone has given the brigand business a boom in that part, and that missionaries or other Americans who venture in that ter ritory had better be provided with pretty good body guards, of men who are not acquainted with the brigand people. Estis G. Rathbone, Director of Posts in Cuba, who was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary for misappropriating funds, has been released on the $100,000 bond that Senator Hanna arranged for him.

New Machinery to Be Added o the Plant of toe Angola Lumber Company Dry Kua Being Ballt.

The Strawberry Blight. The Pender Chronicle this week says the strawberry crop, which at one time in the Burgaw section was sol very nwiKiiiinoi lAAmR BOW m danger of being shortened by at least one-wira. The change in the outlook is due to a disease or pest with which the straw- berrv fields are now being visitea.

COAST LINE GENERAL OFFICES- Richmond Joins Charleston, Savannah and Dnnn on the Anxions Seat. Referring to the Atlantic Coast Line, the Richmond Leader says: "It is believed in railroad circles there will be a shifting of the general offices from Wilmington to either Richmond or Savannah." And the Dispatch says information has reached the Chamber of Commerce of Richmond that "it would be desirable or neces sary to move the general offices of the company from Wilmington." The diameter of the "railroad circle" in which the Leader moves must be infinitessimally small, and the Rich mond Chamber of Commerce must be decidedly en rapport with those, and only those, who know what is to be dbnewith the general offices of the Coast Line, i The Star has the very best authority for stating that no information or in timation whatever has been given out by the officials of the Atlantic Coast Line in regard to the general offices. So, it is all conjecture on the part of the towns of Dunn, Charleston, Sa vannah and Richmond when they tackle this important question. The people of Wilmington, although they have i not the "information" which has "reached" the Chamber of Commerce of Richmond, are confident in the belief that the general offices of the Atlantic Coast Line are "here to stay."

Curtailment la Appropriations for All De- psrtmeots Not Ose Cent for Per manent Street Improvements. The Proceedings la Detail. Figuratively speakine. the bud ire t for the city's expenses during the cur - rent fiscal year, as arranged recentlv by the Aldermen, was "knocked into a cocked.hat" by the Board of Audit and Finance at a special meeting, upon which every member was in attend ance, last night. The budeet 1 came over from the Aldermen bearing a total appropria tion for all purposes of $139,454.15, but when the "blue pencils" in the hands of the Finance Board had com pleted their labors, the amount had been reduced to $112,222,60, including $5,000 for the Fifth street bridge and $3,500 for balanoe to be paid on the Princess street paving, which improve ments were sanctioned by the "board of last resort" only upon condition that the money should come out o' this year's appropriation. A liberal estimate of the revenue of the city this year from' all sources will be $117,500, exclusive of the amount to be paid on bonds and coupons, in terest and discount, refunded taxes and sinking fund; therefore it will be seen that the budget last night adopt' ed is as liberal infits provisions as can be, allowing an emergency .fund bal ance of only $5,000. It was very much regretted by the Board last night that not one cent for permanent street improve' ments could be appropriated for the simple reason that the funds are not in sight, but members of the Board expressed the hope that a larger amount of back taxes could be 'collect ed and some revenue be derived from a sale of the surplus engine houses, eta, so that a small amount for this purpose can be expended during the year. For permanent work the Al derman had made an appropriation of $23,500 but this was stricken entirely out. Other items included in the Alder manic budget and stricken, out were: Increase of pay of cart drivers and street force from $1 to $1.25 per day; luvipwsq ih uupuituiuuuvus va wraa gw salary from $1,000 to 1,200; increase of pay of street foreman to $40 per month (same was made $7 per wk.). The ap propriation for lumber, terra cotta pipe, etc., was reduced from $2,500 to $2,000 and the! miscellaneous appro priatlon under head of "Streets and Wharves" was reduced from $1,800 to $1,200, making a total of $13,223.80 against $40,081.35 by the Aldermen for this department. The police force was increased to 30 and not 32 privates as recommend' eck the pistols for police were not al lowed; provision for A. C. L. police man was stricken out; also $100 a year for feeding the Chief of Police's horse. Under head Of Fire Department, the increase in pay of firemen froml$37.50 to $40 was not! allowed and $150 for Chiefs n6w buggy was stricken out. The $200 salary for Mayor pro tern. was not allowed on legal grounds but the salaries of other executive officers were unchanged. No increase; was allowed in pay of messenger at City Hall, and the pay of assistant in'icleaning Front street market was-fixed at $180 per year in stead of $240 as allowed by the Alder men. I Only the Brunswick street extension to the water works system was ap proved. Care and slop cart drivers, under head of "Sanitary," were re duced from $7.50 and $7, respectively, per week to $8. The appropriation for printing, stationery and advertising was reduced from $1,000 to $750; the appropriation j for prisoners was re duced from $500 to $450, while the in surance amount was increased from $720 to $1,000 and three-year policies recommended. The miscellaneous and extraordinary appropriation was in creased from $2,500 to $3,200, so as to I include $700 for election. The matter or $5,000 for the new central fire station was deferred until a subsequent meeting, which it is un- j derstood will be held soon. The Superintendent of Health's salary was allowed to remain at $800 instead of $900, as recommended, and no provision was made for chief quar antine officer. ; ! . Adjustment of contract with Wm. McLean & Co. was referred back to the Aldermen for their approval and also that of the Clarendon Water Works Co. The arc lighting contract was ap proved, but the oil and gas lighting was deferred, pending the decision as to use of the Welsbaeh lights. Settlement of the Strauss suit was concurred in. Application of Cattle Weigher for an increase of salary was not acted upon. Resolution of the Aldermen apply ing costs collected from use of patrol wagon to payment for vehicle was not concurred in.

Herbert Smith ReceivedMeeting Will Be Held This Week for Election The Aldermanic situation was un changed yesterday, save for the official declination of Mr. G. Herbert Smith to serve on the Board from the Fourth Ward. Hie letter declining the posi tion reads as follows: Mr. B. F. King, City Clerk and Treasurer: "DeasSib: While I fully appre ciate the honor of an election to fill the vacancy on the Board of Alder men from the uourtn Ward. I must respectfully decline to serve.
