ADDITIONAL DISPATCHES.

The first constitutional convention
m South Carolina for twenty-seven
years was called to order at Colum bia
on the 10th. The admitted object of
the convention was to insure white SUI
premacy. A plan was on foot to en-
body in the constitution as one of the
qualifications for holding office in
South Carolina that the person must
be white.
A RECENT dispatch to the New York
Sun from Philadelphia said that the
recent victory of Senator Quay was
likely to result in the defeat of James
Donald Cameron for aAother term as
solutely certain that Senator Quay
would oppose the reelection of Cam
eron to the senate.
THE event of the day at the G. A. r.
eDcampment at Louisville, KY. on the
10th was the parade of the navy veter-
ans, fully 10000 men being in line
Mexican war veterans brought up the
rear in carriages The W. R. C. held
reception at night.
AT Denver, Col, William Rose, an
undertaker's assistant, shot and
mortally wounded Mrs. Philip Kuhn
on the 10th and afterw ards shot him
self, inficting a mortal wound.
Jealousy was the cause.
IN the second international yach t
race at New York between the De-
fender and the Vallyrie, on the 10th,
the latter won by the margin of At
seconds. The Valkyrie carried away
the starboard shroud of the Defender
and the latter entered protest, which
may cause the race to be called Off
FRIENDS of Secretary Carlisle were
said to be urging him to take part in
the campaign in Kentucky and assist
in securing Senator Blackburn's defeat.
Prominent democrats believe that the
influence of another series of speeches
upon the financial question in Ken
lucky would make Mr.. Carlisle's re-
election as senator acertainty. It was
believed that a return to his old seat
in the senate would be more grateful
to Mr. Carlisle than a continuance at
the head of the treasury department.
IT was said at Washington that the
republican leaders in congress NAV
find it in their power to compel an
other issue of bonds next winter if
they cared to assume the responsible
ity, for it seemed probable that bond
issue would be required when the sea-
son of god exports sets in, unless the
currency laws were changed in the
meantime so as to provide for the re-
tirement of the green backs or for some
control over their constant reissue by
he secretary of the treasury.

Hoaxed by a Fake Telephone

All sorts of devices are used nova
days to attract and entertain patrons.
In Quincy street there is resort
where pleasant little Jokes are worked
on visitors. A man brings friend
into the place and quietly slips the
friends name, written on card, to
an attendant. Presently there j. a
ringing at the phone. The attendant
rushes over and shouts: "Hellol Yes,
this is the place. What's the name (?
A J. Smith. I'll see
Then he runs around and asks if
anyone of the name of Smith is pres
ent.
Now,if Smith stopped to think for
a moment he would know that he
couldn't be called up on that phone,
because no one on earth knew that he
was coming to this place.
Three times out of ten he doesn't
stop to think.
He is So fiuttered that he doesn't
stop to think, but says: Eyes, here
/ am. What's wanted?"
''Some one wants to talk to you
over the phoue?"
"To me? Are you sure?"
"Is your name A. ]. Smith ?"
"Yes, that's right.
So be goes over TO the dummy in
strument on the wall, and putting his
face against the transmitter shouts:
This is Smith who was it wanted
to-wowi"
For at the moment about pint Of
-four is pntfed into his face, and the
house gives him heartless roar Of
laughter. OF course II is IN ancient
farce-comedy joke, and yet it has
been worked dozen times day,
and there are men who will walk
mile in order to steer some new
man against the phone. Chicago

excitement. but paused IN the out
skirts Of the crowd. Ii was a barn that
was burning, and it stood out against
the smoke-blaekened sky a gloEing
mass of triumphant FIRE. There was
no longer hope of saving it, though
the hose still played upon 1t. The
rescued horses stamped and neighed,
the fremen shouted hoarse orders,
dogs barked and a baby cried. Sud
denly there arose a cry: "Look cut!
Look Quit
One of the frightened animals had
sprung loose and charged wildly Tor
ward. Miss Barbara felt herself
snRtehed up and borne perslstently
through the shrieking crowd into
deserted street white with moonlight.
Her rescuer made no motion TO release
her, and, startled and annoyed she
turned her gaze full upon him; the
next instant her breath stopped, her
face turned white. She was gazing IN
to the face of the man she once loved
the man whose letter she had lately
answered. A flock of girls ran laugh
ing and calling into the street. LET
me go-there are people about-you
must let me CO." she whispered sharp
~. His arms dropped from her waist,
but he walked close to her side. She
moved away towards the further edge
of the walk.

A loose board shot suddenly down
under his feet-the other end went up,
Miss Barbara went down. She tried
to rise, but fell back helplessly. Ford
ham dropped on his knees beside her,
speaking passionately.

white and set, sit is only my foot

Many weeks elapsed before Miss Bar
bara was able to walk again. During
those weeks Fordham received her let
ter, which had been forwarded from
Bombay. He had been too wise to
await it there. Emmett had smiled
genially as he changed the address
upon that letter. He had always
known that more of Fordham's heart
lay in the CRIB OF his child than in the
grave of his wife, but had not before
OWNED that his own communications
Omitted States bonds, as
be would have phrGsed it, were respon-
3ible for his friends sudden journey

narrow side street where luscious
fruits were heaped up in rich-hued
piles that freighted the air with spice

foreigners. At the entrance To his
bungalow Emmett alighted and Ford
ham rolled on toward his own home.

He replaced his white garments with

PIG EON FLYING.
Two weli-kDown wiimingtonians TAKE
Great Interest In the Birds.

Two of the best-known pigeon fan
ciers in this section of the country are
Irwin Pike and Harry Pierce of Brandy
wine Village. Each of these gentlemen
has a large loft of birds of known pedi-
gree, and Messrs. Pike and Pierce are
continually training them. Some OF the
pigeons have accomplished remarkable
performances and good offers have been
made for their purchase by out-of-town
fanciers. Nearly every clear Sunday
they give some of the birds trial ny,
and sometimes they cover extremely
long distances. Last Sunday, however,
II birds were liberated only 30 miles
from home, and as yet several OF them
have not put in an appearance.
II is feared that the tardy pigeons
have been foully dealt with or captured
while they were stopped for rest
Mr.. Pierce is probably the more en-
thusiastc of the two fanciers. He is 9
member of the national association and
keeps in touch with pigeon matters all
over the country. Both he and Mr.
Pike have expressed an intention o!
contesting for the gold watch Offered
by the management of the steamboa
Republic for prize pigeon flying during
the present season.

SELLS BROS, EXCELLENT CIRCUS.
The Best Seon in Wilmington for Many
Nears--Thousands Enjoy the Fine Per-
furmauces.


Years--Thousands Enjoy the Fine Per-
f0rnRuces.
The universal opinion in regard to
the circus show given Monday by the
Sells Bros. is that il was the best seen in
Wilmington for many years. The street
promenade, too, excelled those usually
witnessed here.
The attendance was immense. An
estimate of the number present in the
afternoon was 10000 people. Some Of
the novelties were unique. The seal
orchestra with the members of the
amphibian troupe, one playing a drum,
another clashing the cymbals, n walrus
handling the big French horn, and the
funny 'end man." walrus singing solo
and refrain, was all very funny, and
furnished something entirely new to
people generally as TO the education"
Of these strange animals.
But the most remarkable spectacle OF
all, in this direction, was the prOmenad-
ing, without chains, or restraint of any
kind, OF the mammoth hippotaml These
immense animals marched aTodnd the
big circus promenade as docilely as
pair of sheep. Their master would sud
denly stop, face around and holding up
cane tile big brutes would halt too,
and then throw open their capacious
mouths, that yawned more like caverns
than mouths. The man then chucked
| into the great receptacles, a peanut
apiece. The gross animals seemed as
| delighted with the attention as q couple
of settlers would be with pat on tho
back from the gunner when the bird
dogs had accomplished some good piece
of work.
But what was especially interesting
| and what was also revelation to the
lovers OF natural history, was the op.
portunity of witnessing the method OF
getting over the ground of the big ami
mails. The looker-on is Immediately
struck with the relatively squat appear
ance of the hippotamus. Its legs are SC
very short. Its ambulation and style oi
walking, and also the short in turned
legs very much resemble the alligator
Its general appearance when walking
also reminds one, in the extreme length
of the body, of its amphiDious neigh
hor. Its big, wide mouth which gives
the idea of large Saratoga trunk open
ing reminds one Immediately OF ihl
monsters graminivorous habits, ane
what enormous damage in might do il
young rice fields.
Among the other attractions wa
Madame Lioness with an interesting
little family of three young monarchs o
theforcst The tigers were the finest eve
seen here. There was also flock G
, ostrches which was closely studied b
the crowd. The tall, stupid. .lookin
/ birds seemed to have nothing on cart
to occupy their attention but the bus
} ness of languidly swapping at flies, an
occasionally chewing punches of pape
But the whole show was attractive
( every particular. AS stated, no fin,
S nor more interesting one has been see
g in this city for many years.
