Coincident with a cold snap which suddenly struck Chicago last week, Mr. Zero Snow arrived from Port land,Oregon. When the boys saw that name on the register they thought a new joker had come to town, but they were mistaken for he was a sure enough Zero, with the Snow annex. Tests have been made in Missis sippi of a cotton picking 'machine, which it is said picks ?7 per cent, of the lint, but the objection to its work is that it picks too much other stuff with the cotton. But the inventor hopes to remedy this and make it more discriminating in Its pull. One of the institutions with which Dr. , Lorenx, the Austrian Surgeon, was much struck was the American newspaper re porter, They struck him ' as soon as he landed and never left him until they saw him safely started for home. They made lota of nice stories for him, too, and gave him some royal fees, which he never saw, r '."-r ' A Chicago paper publishes alet ' yrom a Charleston, S.

That was a sort of free ad- rtisement, but from some strange oversight or something else this hustler's . name was not given. A mail who shows such push in sup plying the public with imported damaged meat, Ac, should have the benefit of publicity. .; , V MYSTERIOUS NAME PLATE. Sfssksle la Kaslclpsl Circles as to Which Committee Snifl Have Credit for Fifth Street Bridfe. That was an interesting bit of mu nicipal gossip that was going the rounds of the street corners yesterday and the reporter craves the pardon of those interevd, while a smile is sup pressed and just the least amount of detail is given. The pride' of an Alderman is pro verbial and sometimes leads to inter esting complications. Not a long while ago, when the contract for the new iron bridge over the railroad at Fifth street was about to be let, there was a squabble on the then-constituted Bosrd of Aldermen of - Wilmington as to which committee should be in charge of the matter. Finally, the contro rersy drifted into personaHtIe--very ugly little flings and one committee was even charged with wanting au thority "because the names of its mem bers would appear on a plate with that of the mayor and contractor, and be attached to the structure as a per petual token of their services. Things drifted from bad to worse i and finally Aldermen Frank Maunder, - Louis Skinner and Geo. Harries, who then constituted the "Special Bridtre Committee," resigned from the Board. Nothing more was heard of the matter and the Streets and Wharves Committee took charge of the con struction of the bridge.- The contract had in the meantime gone to the build ers and when the material for the structure arrived a short time ago sad to relate the names of the "Special Bridge Committee" were on the plate with that of Mayor Waddell and the contractor. Now the interesting part of the story comes to light That plate, bearing the names of the ex-Aldermen, is said to have disappeared from the rest of the material and found its way to soma place where, it came to the ears of the Mayor, certain alterations were being made upon it. Then the Mayor "took a hand." Chief of Police Fnrlong was summoned and commissioned to forth with find that' plate. That he did, but he. refuses toe be interviewed on the matter in any of its details and an anxious public must wait until the Board meets Monday night He was also commissioned to keep an eye on the bridge and see that none bat the original, the only original plate, ap pears thereon. The Chief has bis weather eye with him and thus endeth the chapter. This ir a story of the mysterious dis appearance of a name plate or the wounding of an Alderman's pride. LOCAL DOTS.

To make sure as far as noasihle he called for a meeting, at which were present tne mayor and Aldermen, the Board of County Commissioners and many of the heaviest tax-payers of the city. At this conference it was final v aeeuxea tnst f s,-vuw a year should be set apart for permanent maintenance the city to contribute two-fifths -and the county three-fifths. v uonslderabie doubt was expressed at tne time wnetner this sum was enourh and several or tnose present at the meeting were In favor of a larger ap propriation, nut nnaii v consented to have $8,000 named in the charter as a minimum, with the - understandmr inat trims sum was: insufficient for keeping the Hospital un to modern standards then the faith ofthe meeting was pledged to see that the needed amount should be secured. The present Board of Managers nave given tneir oest enorts to the ad ministration of the affairs of the hosni tal. They have felt that the magnifi cent gift of Mr. Walker should be supported in a manner creditable to our city and county and In such a way as would show that the community appreciated tne act or tne generous Denersctorr The management have. therefore, not been oarsimoniour. and at the same time have , done their best not to be extravagant or authorize any needless expenditure. We believed it was the desire of the people of New Hanover county that the institution which administered to the wants of the sick and sufferinsr should be conducted in the same spirit which animated its generous donor. The past year has demonstrated that the present standard of efficiency can not be. maintained on the appropria tion. . : - The hospital is now at the noint where we must at once secure an ad ditional . appropriation or impair its service. The Board of Managers are not wilting to incure a debt, looking to the future to secure funds to can cel It. It is their object in this communica tion to place the matter before the nnb- lie, so that every one may be inform ed, and then make application to the proper authorities for an increase in the present appropriation. The hos pital belongs to the people and ought to be fully supported through taxation until some other method is found. .. ; , Respectfully, . Walter G. McKae. (president): W. H.
