In view of the fact that Mark
Hanna used to insist that there
were no Trusts, isn't it,' now that
the iJeef Trust has begun to per
form on such a high horse, about
time for him to reiterate some of
those remarks about that "full din
ner pail"? i
The Philadelphia Press, Eep.,
rises to remark that "in his investi
gation of the Beef Trust Attorney
General Knox should j have no
trouble in getting at the meat of the

any trouble, either, in: hitting it
some hard knocks and stripping its
hide off. i
It is said that General Miles would

One of the wonders of Saluda
county, S. p., is ; a negro who can
neither read nor write, who goes
into trances, quotes texts from the
scriptures, and preaches first rate
sermons. He does this frequently,
and when he wakes up doesn't know
anything about it. His family phy
sician vouches for this. He is a
puzzle to the doctors, several of
whom have been studying him, but
own np that he is too much for them.

A FEW FACTS ABOUT PYTHIANS.
Why the Eotertalament Tuesday Night
ShooJd Be liberally Patronized.
Every mother of a' Knight of
Pythias; every father of a Knight;
every son and every daughter of a
Pythian or any one else who is or is

provide themselves with a ticket for
the concert to be given by the ladies
next Tuesday evening for the benefit
of a fund which will be used in fur
nishing the new Pythian Castle Hall
in the Murchison National Bank build

When one considers the amount of
good the Pythian order; has done in
Wilmington he or she should not hesl
tate about lending a helping hand to
this commendable undertaking. Since
1888 the Endowment Rank has paid to
widows and orphans $59,000 and for
I sick and funeral benefits $17,500 has
been paid. The order is "still doing
business at the same old stand."

NEWS OF TEAMS AND PLAYERS
Charlotte Defeated Trinity Yesterday
Games oa Other Diamonds Wil
mlogton Colts Having Splendid
Practice Other Notes.
Each day brings fresh assurances to
the baseball cranks of the. ctty that
Wilmington's aggregation of players
in the State League will compare very
favorably with the other teams of
the circuit. Of course, when the
season opens, it may be found that
some points need strengthening : but
as a whole the team now appears very
satisfactory in every respect. The
double practice yesterday was a
good one. The weather had warm
ed up to a degree that the
men could ! let themselves out
so to speak, and Capt. Henry says it
was the best day's work the team has
yet experienced. !
Manager Bear had made all arrange
ments for the opening of the season
here Monday, and it will ba a red letter
day for the cranks, crankerinas, root
ers, rooterinas, etc., etc. There will
be a trolley parade at 3 P. M. Mem
bers of the Wilmington and Raleigh
teams with the Second Regiment Band
will make a trip around the belt and
out to the park, where appropriate
ceremonies will mark the beginning of
the game. At least a thousand people
are expected to crowd the bleachers
asd grand stand.
Wbst Other Teams Are Doing.
Charlotte, N. C, April 30. The
Charlotte professionals won from
Trinity at Latta Park this afternoon.
The score was 11 to 1. Charlotte claims
the banner club of the League.
A Raleigh correspondent says: "The
playing of Raleigh's baseball league
team is hardly strong enough as yet
to suit some of the cranks. It is not
up to the standard of last year'i team.
which was a very fast one indeed."
Newborn is conspicuously silent
nowadays about its team. But when
the boys on the Neuse strengthen up a
little we may all expect to hear from
them-
Charlotte will play St Mary's Col
lege, Belmont, to-morrow.
Greensboro defeated Trinity College
in a game Tuesday afternoon by a
score of 7 to 5. The game was not
specially interesting. The Guilford
College team which defeated Trinity
Monday will play Greensboro to-day.
One of the Durham players, CS.
Morgan, an outfielder, has been releas
ed. Captain Stocksdale signed and
took on trial fourteen men. He will
keep but twelve, and this means that
two of the fourteen will be given their
release. Taylor was the first one.
Pitcher Walters and Catcher Tucker
are now ready to report for practice.
Wilmington opens with Raleigh for
three games, followed by three games
each with Greensboro and Charlotte.
Then Wilmington goes to Durham and
Charlotte for three games each.
