W. W. Wilson, general agent OF the
North German Lloyd line at Galveston. re-
ceivod cable from Bremen yesterday
evening, announcing tho sailing from that
point Of the steamship Crefeld, for Gall
weston direct. with good cargo and 1T5
passengers. The Crefeld will sail from
Galveston on her return to Bremen Sep
TENDER 20. She brings larger cargo than
any of tho North German Lloyd boats had
out last season. and starts off with bet
ter list Of passengers than was anticipated
There are numerous Inquiries In the Office
OF Mr. Wilson here for passengers from
this side, and many farmers who have
proepered here THE year are preparing to
bring out their relatives from the old
country this season.
The CreftId viii be followed by th = Eliza
beth Rickmers, which salts from Bremen
September 20, and from Galveston on her
return voyage October 20. This steamer
was built last year. Is 40 feet long and is
OF over 5000 gross tons measurement. be-
ing much lagrer than any OF the North
German Lloyd boats that visited this port

The use OF larger boats In the service

year than last.

al ones. but in those days most Madras
cooks would give you different curry at

nowadays Is good curry. 1t consists prin-
oipally Of turmerdc and cayenne pepper that
sacrifices the roof Of your mouth and
tongue and gives no pleasure in eating.
The Madrasians are the only people in In.
dia who really understand what a good
curry should DO. The ingredients should
be fresh, differently apportioned for each
kind and newly ground each day. Fresh

commonest, yet perhaps one of the very

ANOTHER GIANT LOBSTER.

(New York Times

When the fishing smack Becker of the
feet of L. W. Wright & Go. of 105
Fulton Market, pulled into her. slip yes
terday morning, Capt. Youne:Iand his
crew were well nigh exhausted because
OF the attention they were obliged to pay
to q passenger that was unwilling1y
taken aboard forty miles of the High
lands to the southeastward. This
passenger proved to be q barnaole-lad
lobster that tipped the beam at 81 Ia
pounds.
The men on the Becker wsre trolling
for Goldfish, when one of them felt his
line 60 outsas if somebody had bent q
sheet anchor on to the hook and flung it
out over the ocean shelf. He yelled for
help. and the line was slowly cooled In
on deck. At last, with fencing claws
spread wide in ludicrous dismay and his
tail curled hard under him In resistance
to the upward impulse of tho line, q
giant lobster. bearded like pard and
eyes swapping swith anger, appeared at
the surface of the ocean.

Alfred Cabasssud, 31ssnd ssS3 Broadway,
and there last evening Sullivan held
court from his post Of honor on hdining

him, and he proclaimed his willingness
to spar the universal. earth for the mere
