If,as reported,that baking powder trust sells 13,500,000 worth of pow der in Missouri every year, it ought to be able to blow in some $1,000 bills in the Legislature. - One of the Florida solons who doesn't seem to enjoy the business of law making wants the Legisla ture to meet only once in four years and not stay long then. There seems to be a good many "harmony" Democratic dinners these days. But the Democrats of the country are not half as much in terested in those dinners as they are in harmony. A Utah girl who had slept for fifty-Beven days, in spite of the ef forts of the doctors to arouse her, was finally aroused by a douse of cold water. She was probably not accustomed to water. Wm. K. Vanderbilt had a "quiet" marriage over there in London, but the minister that married him isn't having a quiet time, for his brother ministers are making it hot for him and his bishop has unfrocked him. Away back there 2,200 years be fore the Christian era they had a divorce law in Assyria, where, If the wife was wasteful, foolish or what she should not be, her husband could "put her away," send her adrift, and not pay her any alimony either.

Policeman Frank Qeorre Wiofed a "Fes tive Bird," Who Was Shootlnr la ' tbe Street-Pell flown RsUrosd Qride and Broke a Tblfb. One negro at least who seems to have deemed it his privilege to carry a pistol and indulge in all manner of rioting In the streets on a Saturday night has come to grief. He bears the picturesque name of Willie Watson and is laid up at the James Walker Memorial Hospital with a bullet wound in his thigh, and another leg broken as the result of a hop skip and a jump over the railroad embankment at Ninth and Bladen streets,! where he hoped to elude two Angry j police men at whom he had just snapped his pocket fowling piece. ' Watson, with several other negroes. was making- things dangerous for pedestrians about 11:80 o'cloK-. last nightln the vicinity named. 'He had just fired off his pistol In the street and Policeman. I. F. Hugglns had just caught him In the act and had aid hands upon him, to arrest him. The negro was violent and erked loose. Policeman Frank George had seen the predicament of his fellow officer and came to Mr. Hoggins1 as sistance. The negro didn't like the ap" pearance of Officer George, for he is' a mortal terror t&the colored population. As soon as he was loose! and Mr, George came on him he began snap ping hi pistol at the officer but it failed to fire. Then the officer drew his pistol and as the negro rose upon the top of the embankment - he fired. The negro tumbled down by the rail road track, a distance of about 25 feet, and very soon he was tn the police pa trol on his way to the hospital for re pairs. Hall Officer . J. A. Martin and others, who carried the negro to the hospital, found the pistol on the ground where Watson had fallen, i At the hospital Dr. Akerman, the surgeon in charge, round tnat tne ball had entered the negro's thigh in the fleshy part from behind, going all the way through and coming out at the ; front. His other thigh was also' broken as the result of the fall down the embankment. Watson is 26 or 27 years of age and was drink ing when arrested. He will probably be laid up for several weeks as the result of his injuries. . In (he same crowd with Watson, Policeman Wood arrested John Cooper, another young negro, upon whom was found metal knucks. About 1 o'clock this morning at Fourth and Taylor streets there was another gang of disorderly negroes with , firearms. They were shooting Indiscriminately in the streets, but none of them was arrested. Charles Hines, one of the number, was acci dentally shot In the top of the head and was taken to the hospital by tbe police. He says a' "friend" shot him accidentally. He has a scalp wound on top of the head which amounts to nothing. Pythian Carnival To-morrow Might. A nleasant time is anticipated by all who attend the postponed K.

Famoos Sister aod Celebrated Orchestra Appeared Lsst Erenlof Concert This .Erening for Worthy Benefit. However magnificent may have been the success from an artistic standpoint of the Nordica engagement at the Academy of Music last night, the financial triumph of the event was evidently "by no means overwhelming.' There were about 200 vacant seats on the first floor and perhaps as many as 25 in the gallery. At no time was the standing room of tbe house endan gered. It Is learned from authorita tive sources that the receipts did not come up to the amount of the guaran tee, but there was no curtailment of the programme upon that'account. Mme. Nordica 'appeared three times and was thrice given a double en core. JJeHeizke, mhd witising at Char lotte, did not go near the theatre dur ing the evening, but remained at The Or ton. This was a disappointment to many; especially to a large number of patrons, who came fom a distance and expected to hear him. MrA J. 8. Duss, the millionaire leader of the celebrated orchestra bearing his name, was very graceful and proved himself an eminent director. It was announced upon the conclu sion of the- appearance last evening that a sacred concert would be given this (Sunday) afternoon for the benefit of the Catherine Kennedy Home. Mme. Nordica, however, will not sing and an announcement to that effect was made from the stage. The prices will be $1.50. $1.00 and 50 cents. The audience which heard Mme. Nordica and the Duss' Metropolitan Opera House Orchestra last evening was perhaps the most fashionable of the season. This was true not only of the Wilmington people who attended, but those who came from a distance. A large number of persons, who were either staggered by the prices or were disinclined to pay more for what Charlotte and other places received for less, gathered on the outside of the theatre and heard what they could. Whether this was the graceful thing to do, however, is for the "outsiders" to say. The Nordica party arrived at 2:80 o'clock yesterday afternoon on a special train from Baltimore, where they had an engagement on. the evening pre vious. Accompanying them were Mr. B. E. Johnson, the manager, and his wife. Most of the party are guests at The Orton.. Mr. Duss is a close friend of the brother-in-law in New York of Mr. J. M. Solky, of this city, and was shown much attention by the latter while here. FUNERAL OF MRS. W. W. BLAIR. Remains of a Much Beloved Woman Laid to Rest In Oskdale. Tbe remains of the late Mrs. W. W. Blair arrived via the Seaboard Air Line from Gainesville, Ga., yesterday at 12:45 P. M. and were taken to the family residence, corner of Third and Bed Cross streets. Accompanying the remains were the sorely bereaved hus- band and children, Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Bell, of Gainsville, and Mrs. G. W. Merrill, of Cedar Baplds, la., Mrs. B. Cotter and daughters, sister and Misses, respectively, of Mr. Blair, ar rived in- the morning from Cedar Bapids. The funeral services over the re mains were conducted In the presence of a large assemblage of friends In the First Presbyterian church yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock by the pastor, Rev. J. M. Wells, Ph.D. The floral tributes were many and very beauti ful, attesting the very high esteem In which Mrs. Blair was held In Wil mington. The interment was in Oakdale ceme tery, the following friends of the family having acted as pall bearers: Messrs. U. M. Bobinson, John B. Turrentine, Jr. C. A. Healy, B. O. Stone. W. A. Caldwell and Walter Daggett. NEW PAVILION AT THE BEACH. Vaudeville Season Will Open Jsse 1st. Popularity of Charter Cars. Capt. W. F. Oorbett, city soliciting agent, O. B., L. and P.

THE CONDITION GOOD Situation at County Convict Camp Investigated by the State Board of Charities. - EXAMINATION YESTERDAY. Resalt Decidedly la Favor of the Author ities in Charge Local Visitors Re : ported Result to Governor, Who "' ; Desired the Facts la Case. Pursuant to request of the Governor and the State Board of Public Chari ties, Messrs. A. G. Hanklns, B. M. Wescottand J. T. Kerr, constituting three of the four members of the local board of visitors of the State organi zation for 'New Hanover county, yes terday made an Investigation of the sanitary condition and management of the convict camp at Castle Haynes, which hss figured pretty extensively of late in grand jury reports to the Superior Court. The Investigation was made in view of the reports named and it will be gratifying ' to the public at large and to the authorities especially to know that the result of the investigation was decidedly in favor of the opinion that the conditions were excellent for an institution of that kind. The gentlemen named above, anxi ous to ascertain the true conditions, went out to tne camp yesteraay morn and spent from UAf M. until after 1 o'clock in the afternoon, going over the premises and asking such questions would throw any light upon the situation. Their report of the tenor stated was mailed to Governor Ay cock and the secretary of the State Board of Public Charities last evening. Chairman Hanklns, when asked for an outline of the report forwarded, said last night: "We thoroughly examined the camp and found it in fair condition. The bedding and sleeping apartments of the prisoners, we scrutinized closely and found them reasonably clean and entirely clear of vermin." "We were present when the men were brought in for their meal. They seemed to have plenty of wholesome food and were satisfied. The superin tendent stated that only one or two of the leaders in the recent break had been punished. VWe personally, made one or two suggestions about;extendingxSome of the tables where the convicts took their meals, but did not embody any trivial matters of that kind in our report. Such things usually amount to nothing and when included in reports are apt to be magnified." " THE FEMALE BASEBALLISTS. Played to Aboat 400 nt Hilton Yesterday. Lea?e for Newbera. The "Chicago Stars," the female baseball aggregation, played a local team managed by Capt. J. B. Linder before about 400 people at Hilton Park yesterday afternoon. There was no "fake" In the contest and the visitors deported themselves in the field In most lady-like manner. They were very clever players, too, and the local team had all it wanted to do to make the score 9 to 8 In its favor. The female pitcher commenced the game, but gave way after two innings to a semi professional male artist who pre viously played short stop. The local team was made up as fol lows,: Under, manager and acting captain; Genaust, second base; Liet gen, left, field; Dosher and Green third base; Bweeney, pitcher and short stop; Patterson, first base; Dudley, right field; Wescott, centre field; Ring, catch, and Sellers, pitcher.
