A Warning In Regard to Compost Peddlers The North Carolina agricultural ex periment station in bulletin No. : 187, details the plan of :; the "Champion Chemical Process Company," ' capital stock $50,000, with offices at Dunn, Fay- eteevllle and Thomasville, N. C. This company has been practicing in North r-nroiina. bv soliciting membership at $4.00 each, the advantages of whiioh consists in ability to purchase certain chemicals, together with formula for making composts. The cliemicals are supplied to members for additional $4.00 and the actual cash fertilizing value contained in them Is only 69 cents. Not only this, but the combination of ma terials is bad and phosphoric acid Is omitted entirely from the mixture. "Perfect satisfaction" is guaranteed, and the statement is made that it will make as good a crop as commercial fer tilizers. It is also stated that the same chemicals would cost. $15.00 before any one becomes a member. All three state ments are entirely inaccurate. The sta tion has urged that the people of the state should stop paying for all such formulas, as it Is ready and willing to specify any mixture using materials whioh can be best procured. In fact, a new publication of the station will shortly be Issued dealing erpecially with composts and home-made mix tures and telling how they can be made. It will be sent free to parties in North Carolina who apply for it. Write to the station at Raleigh if you wish it. A young man in Lowell,-Mass., trou bled for years with a constant succes sion of boils on his neck, was complete ly cured by taking only three bottles of Ayer's Sacsaparllla. Another result of the treatment was greatly improved digestion fith increased avoirdupois. FINE SHOWING, -i , . J." '-.

Lewis Morrison, when he was here last season in his fine perform ance of Faust. There has been a gen eral desire to see him again, and re cently 'Mr. John W. Bloome sounded some of our people. -He got quite a number of guarantees for seats and wrote to Mr. Morrison at Kansas City, Mo to inquire if he would come to Wilmington on his tour. Mr. Morrison closed a week's- engagement in Kansas City last night. In reply to Mr. Bloome he states that he has sent his letter to his office in New York to be attended to, but says he fears that it 'will be im possible for him to visit Wilmington this season. He says, however, that he Is coming to our city next season. Should Mr. Morrison come here this season or next he would be sure to get a big 'bouse. 'No performance ever wit nessed in ouf city gave greater satis faction than Mr. Morrison's great pro duction of Faust. f ) ON AIj MENTION. Blair, of New Orleans, is ,The Orton.

It was arranged for the appoint ment of a populist to be Judge of the Eastern circuit criminal court, of which the Hon. Oliver P. Meares is now Judge. Walter R.

La Loie Fuller, as the delighted Pari sians rechristened her, will be the bright star in the firmament entertain ment at the theatre next Thursday night. Grace, skill and agility are weld ed I Into her performance. She Is sym phony in color, and the aptest illustra tion of the poetry of motion. Her silken wings are apparently pulsating with life itself, as though corporally a part of her vivacious person, and not filmy figments gyrating hi almost actual convulsions. Every hue of the rain bow ' la borrowed to tint her draperies, and merely as an In stance of the possibilities of electric-' ity as a theatrical illuminant, her terpsichorean allegories are worth con sideration. Never in the historv of the theatre will there be such a portrayal of art or symphony in color and grace. as will be given in this citv on th occasion of La Loie's appearance here. The reserved seat sale begins Tues day morning at Gerken's. Prices $1.50 and $1.00.

Assets of over $216, 000,000 outstanding assurance of over $915,000,000, and all other figures cor respondingly large. To an interested observer, however, the most impressive figures are those which show the great financial strength of the society sur plus $43,000,000.i In an institution of this kind, whose contracts may not mature for many years, financial strength, or security, should bp the great considera tion to an intending policy holder, es pecially in view of the present decreas ing rate of interest on high-class secur ities. , The policy liabilities of a life assur ance company are based on the hypoth esis that 4 per cent can be earned upon invested assets. In view of the present low rate of interest on gilt-edged se curities, it is possible that this liability will soon have to be computed on the company s earning 3 or even 3 per cent, on their assets: Even on the most rigid 3 per cent, basis, the Equitable would still have a surplus counted by the millions of dollars. Other figures of interest are: Income (1896), $45,011,058. Paid to policy holders in 1896, $21,937,439, Insurance WFitten, 1896, $127,694,084. The showing made by these figures should be gratifying to the policy holders and managers of the society. -;. - , What Everybody Says Must Be True Which applies in the purchase of a piano.

I THE DISTURBANCE IS CRETE. A Shrewd Move by the Unscrupulous Sal tan to Throw More Discord Among the European Powers - (Copyright by The New York Sun.) London, February 13. It would be easy to present the array of authentic information from . Athens, Crete and Constantinople in such a way as to in dicate that war Is inevitable and close at hand. There are some observers in all European capitals, especially Ber lin, who take that view of the situa tion and are alarmed accordingly. Even the stock' markets, which are, after all, the best political barometers in Europe, indicated for a day or two tnat a storm had been , impending. There is no doubt that if the future developments depend solely upon those directly concerned, namely, the Turks, Greeks and. Cretans, there wbuld be fighting within a week on both sea and land. Everybody knows, however, that the progress of the quarrel is not within the control of those actually In volved and that there will be no blows exchanged unless at least one of the great powers Is willing that war should come. The solution of the prob lem really lies in the answer to the question. Have the representatives of the six great powers whispered in the ear of Greece, "now Is your opportuni ty, go ahead, take Crete and we will keep our hands off." Some loud voices In France, and many more in Germany are accusing England of having done Just that thing. No one of them, how ever, had suggested . even a plausible motive which would lead Great Brit ain to adopt such a course. On - the other hand there ape overwhelming reasons why Great Britain should be the most strenuous of all in suppress ing a disturbance until the powers had an opportunity of enforcing on the sultan the- scheme of reforms Which has just been formulated. One would more naturally suspect Germany her self or France of inciting the mischief for the purpose of discomfiting Lord Salisbury, who from the first has been the leader In urging harmonious action in dealing with the sultan. There Is, as a matter, of fact, no adequate mo tive visible ' which would . lead any great rpower' to create the fresh and dangerous complication at a moment when vitual settlement of the Turkish question seems within reach. There does exist, however, ample and obvi ous incentives to Induce the crafty and still potent sultan to. seek once more to set his mentors 'by. the ears by means of a-fresh crisis in. Crete. It seemed a week, ago that he was not di rectly responsible for the recurrence of the troubles there, but there have been many Indications since that his subtle cunning instigated the whole affair. The one luminous and hopeful feature of the situation is the fact that thus far the powers have main tained their unity of attitude. The puemaclous Greeks sent off their fleet with instrnottons to prevent by force any fresh Turkish troops from land'ng in Crete. The powers had no oppor tunity to prevent this steD. but they promptly and unitedly notiflpd Greece she would not be permitted to iitrere on the island Itself, and at the same! time offset a chance collision by pre venting the prte from sending any more troops. - The sultan's scheme has therefore been' a failure up to date,; and it remains to b seen what his "Tt move will be. Th situation, on the whole, has not reached an omin ous or threatening stage in te view of those persons in whoso judgment. I have the greatest confidence and. al though it contains elements o' serious danger, as It hs for more thai eigh teen months, it do not .1ut'fv any fore nod vlng with regard to th rwace of F.urooe. Tre Is noth"r viow of th rrjsi in Crete and TtfVev: wtiich should not be lost s'ght of.!
