SHOOTING STARS. THE SUMMER YOUNG MAX. The young man sings the summer girl, Her laughing eye, her dancing curl; But ne'er a girl, 'tis startling trath, Grows gushing o'er the summer youth. Presence of mind is sometimes indicated by abrence of conversation. “Ts that a real ostrich feather, do you io,” returned the woman who is not always charitable. ‘Ostrich feather’ is only its nom de plume.” The feminine spirit of envy with reference to in dress is only equaled by the jealousy with which men regard one another's fish stories. “I don't know,” said Willie Wishington, “that we should object to being descended from | monkeys. Some of us are decided improve- ments on the originals, don't you think?” “They say Mars is going to be a very inter- to use the latch key I'l! go with you while you study it.” Oh think of the king of the Cannibal isle, Thou hot and unfortunate man; For he’s dressed when he dons an agreeable smile, And flutters a palm-leaf fan. “Well,” said Mrs, Bruggins after a solo by a fashionable church choir tenor, “if that ain't the rudest thing I ever saw!” “What?” inquired her niece. “Why, didn’t you notice it? Just as soon as that young man began to sing every other mem- ber of the choir stopped. But he went right through with it, and I must say I admire his spunk.” WILL EMPLOY TILDEN’S METHODS. North Carolina Democrats Making a Thor- ough Canvass of the State. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. Rareron, N. C., August 1, 1892. Ex-Gov. Jarvis and Mr. Elias Carr, demo- | eratic nominee for governor, will open the campaign at Whiteville and from then on the North Carolina welkin will ring from one end of the state to the other with democratic orator- ical music. Unlike former campaigns, the speaking will not be confined to the towns and villages as heretofore. Some of the most effective ‘kpeakers have been assigned to country work and much of the eloquence of the campaign | will be delivered at country cross roads and other accessible places. This will be done so as to more effectively reach the farmers, as it is from defections among that class of voters that Principally threatens democratie success. But the democratic managers will not depend upon the seductive eloquence of their silver- tongued speakers alone. President Julian 8. Catr of the State Associa- tion of Democratic Clubs will exert his well- Cl man of wonderful resources and some of the | most effective work of the campaign will be done under his superintendence. A house-to-house canvass, similar to that made during the Tilden campaign of 1876, will be prosecuted, so that the democratic managers expect to be able to tell. some tiie in advance of election day just how many votes'the party can count on at each voting precinct in the state and also the strength of the opposition. _ With four full-fledged and ularly nomi- nated state and electoral tickets in the field the coming campaign promises to be the most ex- citing and closely contested one in a genera- tion. But the democrats have the machinery and the best organization, it isa difienlt task their opponents have in attempting to overthrow their political supremacy. CONGRESSMEN BRANCH AND GRADY. Congressmen Branch and Grady, the present representatives of the firstand third North Carolina districts, have been congratulating themselves that they, at least (being good alli- ance men), would not be disturbed by the peo- ple’s rarty movement in. this state and would | we an aay walkover in being re-elected to tricta. But it is reported that Capt. Harry Skinner and Senator Marion Butler have con- eluded to make the race against them. Capt. Skinner is the author of the subtreas- ury plan, a man who has been especially promi- nent asidemoeratic leader and one of thé best speakers in the state. He came within a few votes of being made speaker of the last house of representatives and is far ahead of the present Congressman, Branch, of that dis- trict as a politician, tactician and orator. district had a majority of 1,600 at the last gen- eral election. Senator Butler is the present state president of the North Carolina Farmers’ Alliance and as such has a large following among the farmers of the third district. He isan able man and a good speaker, superior, perhaps, in many re- spects of the sitting member, Grady, who was renominated by the democrats a few days ago. The democratic majority in the third district was about 2 G00. ae z ‘The candidacy of these four men presents an unusual spectacle. Allof them are red-hot alliapce men and all of them are democrats, as far aa state politics go. The two gentlemen who will contest the election of the regular nominees for Congress will not, it is raid, op- pose the democratic state ticket, but they’ are opposed to Cleveland and declare that alliance- men should not vote for any candidate for Congress who does not fully indorse the Omaba platform. They explain their position as state democrats and national third pariyites by the statement that the reforms for which they are working are purely national questions, to be dealt with by Congress and the national admin- istration. It is said that the republicans will make no nominations in these districts, and if they see fit to cast their united strength for candidates representing the vie i y possible but very probable. FOLK WAS AGAINST GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP. In this connection it may be stated that it has just transpired that the late CoL L, L. Polk, president of the National Farmers’ Al liance, who would probably have been nomi- vated for President by the Omaha convention had he lived, was opposed to the government wner-bip of railroads and telegraph proposi- ion. Dr. J. M. Hayes of Washington, formerly of | this state, who was Polk's attending physician at the time of his death, writes to a gentleman of this state as follows: “In reply to your inquiry as to what the Inte Col.L. L. Polk said to ze in regard to his views on the government ownership of railroads I have to say that in the early part of Col. Polk's last sickness, at least ten days before his severe { illness, he was dise the political vitua- |tion with prominent North Carolina gentleman (Mr. A. H. A. Williams) and myvelf, ard in the’ course of his conversa- tion he made use of this language or lan to this effect: ‘I have given the subject of t .”” she answered, “and as you may want | in pushing that feature | He is a e veted to | instrumental music was rendered.

He came into Taz Star office this morning somewhat intoxicated, but determined. Select- ing one of the reporters as his confidant he no- | tified him that life was a desert drear and that he had made up his mind to get away from it in ahurry. “Remorse and so forth are too much for me,” he whispered between the odorous hic- | coughs, ‘so Thave decided to c'mit suicide.” | ‘Then he unfolded his plan. Shooting was | too common a method, hanging was vulgar, | Poison was in every-day use, while razors were | no longer worthy of mention. He wanted e| ood story and he wanted it in Tux Stan so, he | decided to jump from the top of the Wash- ington Monument. Could Tur Star devote two or three columns to such a sensation? No | mortal had ever dared leap from the great | white obelisk ; ought not the first bold man to re ly as to a in the i evening nev ir ever te Hewes anscrel teat bi every desire woud be | tified and an eny ent was made to meet | down stairs in five minutos, ie | “I'll be there,” said he. “My mind’s made | up.

Supreme Justice Somerby of the Iron Hall is in Indianapolis, A special from Indianapolis, Ind., says: “The attorneys for the plaintiffs in the application for a receiver of the Iron Hall determined last night to bring criminal proceedings against F. D. Somerby, supreme Justice. They will ask | | | been expected all day, but the last train from | the east arrived last night without him. His at- | torney at Philadelphia wired Supreme Caxhier | Davis on Saturday that Somerby had started west u day or two before. Nothing, however, has been heard of him.” It was reported in connection with the above dispatch that warrants for Somerby's arrest had been placed in the hands of the detective bu- reau in Philadelphia, but the officials refuse to verity the report. Edward Buchholz, a trustee of local branch ‘No. 259 of the Iron ‘Hall, yesterday in the com- mon pleas court in Philadelphia issued a foreign attachment for his 21,000 certificate in the order. He garnisheed George Childs, George Snively and bimeelf as trustees of the local | branch and the Mutual Banking, Surety, Trust | and Safe Deposit Company. Mr. Buchholz is | at Cape May and could not ‘be seen regarding the =e Buebholz’s certificate has ma- tured. Last night Superintendent of Stute Banks | Charles H. Krumbbaar arrived from Caseanova, |N.Y. It is believed his return is caused by the | spplication for # receiver for the Iron Hall. en the superintendent of banks threatened | | to close the Mutual Company last April the | | Mutual was over @100,000 short, aud it was enid | | that the deficit was made good.’ It is now be- lieved that it was made good with Iron Hail money, and that, it is the general impreseion, brought Superintendent Krumbhaar on so hur- riedly from Cassanova. This belief is strength- ened by the fact that Mr. Krumbbaar will go to Harrisburg today. . The suspense into which “the holders of poli- cies in tho Order of the pion, Hall in Indian- apolis were thrown by the non-appearance of | ¥'D. Somerby, supreme justice, was relieved | by the following telegram received yesterday: “Detroit, Mich., Aug. 1.—-To the Indianapolis | News: T learned late Sagurday night of the | difficulty.

It was recommended that four tempo- rary barracks be erected, one on the Monu- ment grounds, one on the square between 7th and 8th streets, Virginia avenue and B street southwest, one in Garfield Park and one on a site in the northeast yet to be selected. These barracks will be, respect ively, 64x250 feet and 64x500 fect, ground dimensions, capable of accommodating 3,500 men each. These buildings were designed by Mr. W. C.

Reference was made. to the gratifying ont- come of the discussion as to the tse of the White Lot for reunion pu and the | decision of Col. Ernst that the committee could bave the use of this reservation was favorably commented upon. The eum of $2,400 was aasigned to the committee on information, upon whom most of the preliminary expenses fall. The opinion was exp that the canvass for subscription would be completed now that the temperature had somewhat moderated, While the amount of money needed has not been vet subscribed, still the committee are confident that the funds will be secured.

CHAIRMAN EDSON'S LETTER TO SECRETARY ELKINS. The full text of the letter of Chairman Edson to the Secretary of War in regard to the use of the White Lot during the G.A. R. encampment, of which mention was made in Tux Sram yes- terday, is as follow: Sir: Your letter of July 25, granting permis- | sion to use certain parks and resersations and | withholding permission for the use of the White | Lot for reunion pu . is received. We respectfully ask a reconsideration of the | action regarding the White Igt. We believe | that Gen. Ernst and Col. the injury that will be sustained io that park. so, we maintain, in error as to the i vhite Lot should be given to the executive committee. Tt was the intention that the White Lot_ should be used for reunion purposes only. It is the urpose of this committee to protect all the shrubbery, absolutely, and any damage which might be done to the grass. nd there will be #ome—we will endeavor to restore. It seems to the committee thut if the damage is contined to the grass, as Col. Ernst states, permission | should not be refused for that reason. ‘The grounds being used for reunions held by the veterans will be under thorough regulation and good order, thus securing protection. feel that really less damage will be sustained than if they were left open to the public day and night during the encampment. Regarding the necessity for using the White Lot for the purpose named I would state that after a thorough inspection of all the public | grounds that we expect may be placed at our disposal, outside of the White Lot, we fiud they are inadequate for the purpose of quartering the members of the Grand Army. In addition hereto we will be under the necessity of ‘rent- ing private grounds for same purpose. Should we be deprived of the White Lot it will | only incur an additional expense to the com- mittee. Moreover, we will not be able to secure grounds so centrally located and so desirable for reunion purposes. Permission having heretofore been granted for the use of these grounds to the National Guard drill the committee on reunions felt ite sure that permission for the reunions of the veterans would not be withheld. “Of course youare aware that no application has been made to you for a permit, besore the passage of alow authorizing the tame, which was ap- proved July 14, 1892. Owing to the delay of Congress in pasting the act appropriating the money for the ure of the committee, and giving the authority for grant- the committee on, reunions became knowa and published before it was possible to have the per- mit acted upon. This makes thesituation some- what embarrassing. The executive committee respectfully appeal for your favorable recon- sideration of the action taken and that the per- mission asked be granted. EXCURSIONS. The Coluzubia Athletic Club's excursion to- night promises to be @ notuble event.
