j An Important Ruling.
j An. interesting and very important
ruling has just been made by the
department of Internal Revenue,
bearing upon the question of the
retailing of liquor by the drug stores.
The ruling is that drug 6tores that
retail liquor are to take out a retail
whiskey tax. The ruling sets forth
that nodruggiit will be, allowed to
sell whiskey, even on a physician's
prescription, without having taken
out a retail license. They are allow
ed to compound whiskey as a medi
cine, but cannot sell the straight
; stuff under any circumstances with
out a license. This ruling has been
published in a Louisville paper.
.The Parade and liall.
Tqe 34tn anniversary of Howard
Relief Fire Engine Co. No. 1 was
celebrated in good style to day. In
full uniform and preceded by the
Germania Cornet Band, and with
the engine and hose reel beautifully
decorated with evergreens and flow
ers, the company paraded through
some of .ourprincipal-streets, wind
ing up at the engine house, when
the ranks were broken, the engine
and reel stalled and the company
and their guests proceeded up stairs
to Adrian Hall where lunch was
spread and where a few toasts were
proposed. To night there will be a
grand ball at Adrian Hall and this
will handsomely close the anniver
sarv. Charming Clerical Coincidence.
On last evening's train from the
North were three Wilmington cler
gymen returning to their homes in
this city, each of whom had been
called hence to unitea happy couple
in wedlock. The clergymen were
Rev. F. W. E. Pescha:i, of St. Paul's
Lutheran Church, who had been to
Burgaw to unite in .marriage-Mr.
John H. Tienkeu and Miss Fannie
Walker, d aughter of Mr. Edward
Walker, of LongCreek, Pendercoun
ty; Rev, Robert Strange, of St.
James' Episcopal Church, who had
been to New York to celebrate the
marriage of his brother, Col. Thos.
W. Strange, to Miss Florence A.
Rogers, of California, and Rev.
Father Moore, of St. Thomas' Cath
olic Church, who had been to War
saw, Duplin county, to unite a
couple, the names of whom we have
forgotten. This is certainly a charm
ing clerical coincidence three happy-hearted
couples and three happy
clergymen.
Violin Concert.
The violin concert by young lady
violinists of this city," at Luther Me
morialj Building, on Friday night,
the 21st inst., will be a notable event
in the musical history of Wilming
ton, which should awaken a deep
interest in all real lovers of the di
vine science. Violin playing is much
cultivated by young ladies In the
larger cities of the country and
throughout all the musical centres
of Europe, and many lady violinists
are reckoned in the front rank of
this ''King of Instruments.'.7 To
those who have had the exquisite
pleasure of listening to Camilla Urso
it is needless to speak of the great
possibilities which lie within wo
man's grasp as an artist in the high
est development of music, and we
are glad that some of the j-oung
ladies of our city are taking these
steps in musical culture as it will
tend to lead others in the same di
rection. The concert will be inter
spersed with other vocal and instru
mental music by the best amateur
talent in the city, and the pieces se
lected will constitute a programme
of rare excellence, to miss the hear
ing of which would be a real mis
fortune. The concerts heretofore
given at Luther Memorial Building
have ever been successful and of a
high order never a failure, and this
coming event will undoubtedly
eclipse them all. The guiding spirit
of the entertainment is Rev. F. W.
E. Peschan, to whom the people of
Wilmington are deeply indebted for
his efTorts in advancing the know
ledge and love of good music.
"Yes, you'll find people ready
enough, to do the good Samaritan,
without the oil and two-ponce"
so, also, you find. the whole Ameri
can population ready to recommend
Dr. Bull's Cough .Syrupbut only
really good men,' ready to offer a
quarter to buy & bottle."

Commend to public approval the
California liquid fruit remedy Syrup

and comfort of all who use it.
Mr. Pearson Sick Again.
The many friends 'and admirers
hereof Rev. .R. G. Pearson, the
evangelist, will regret to learn that
he is again quite sick. He has been
holding meetings in Baltimore and
on Sunday night it was found neces
sary to suspend them. Mr. Pearson
has gone home, sick with fever. He
thinks that overwork is the cause of
his illness. He had been making
good headway in Baltimore and had
already done a great deal of good
there. As soon as his health is suf
ficiently restored, he will return to
Baltimore and resume his work
there. .

Wedding in Fender.
The home of Mr. Ed. D. Walker,

riage to Mr. John H. Tienken, form
erly of this city but now of Atlanta,
Ga. Rev. F. W. E. Peschau united
the happy couple, using the beauti
ful Lutheran service on the occasion.
A large number of friends gathered
from far and near. Mrs. Galloway,
from our city, and Mrs. Loftin, of
Kinston, were among the guests. A
bountiful repast was served and a
happy time enjoyed. The newly
wedded couple passed through our
city last night on the way to their
new hoiqe. , A family reception was
tendered them at the residence of
Dr. F. C. Miller, corner Fourth and
Nun streets, where the relatives and
invited guests spent a most enjoy
able evening and afterwards accom
panied the couple to the "train.
Pender and New Hanover counties
bid them God-speed and hope they
will grandly succeed among the
Georgia "crackers;" for the, "tar
heels" cau succeed almost anywhere."

Death of Dr. Thomu.
At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
just about the time our paper was
put to press, the soul of that noble,
courtly, chivalrous. Christian gen
tleman,Dr. William George Thoma's,
passed the confines of earth and en
tered upon the fathomless -sea of
eternity. His death was not unex
pected as he was the victimof a ter
ribly treacherous disease which not
often relaxes its hold upon its vic
tim. Dr. Thomas was born in Louis
burg, in this State, and was in the
72nd year of his aige. Early in life
he removed to' Tarboro, where he
married, and in 1851 he came to Wil
mington and cast in his lot with our
people. He was a successful, skilful
practitioner, and stood at the head
of his profession, not only in this
State but in the entire South. The
innate nobleness and heroism of his
character shone out in bright colors;
during the dreadful yellow fever
epidemic in 1SG2 when he remained
manfully at his post here until him
self stricken with the disease. He
was a man of magnificent physique
and in general of remarkable robust
health. He had served as President
of the State Medical Society and for
years past had beenPresident of the
New Hanover County Medical So
ciety. He was one of the original
projectors of the Wilmington Li
brary Association and for years sub
sequent to the war was President of
the Association. For nearly a quar
ter of a century he has been a mem
ber of the Vestry of St. James'
Church. He leaves a widow and
two sons to mourn his departure.
It is difficult to realize at the mo
ment the loss to any community of
such a man as Dr. Thomas. He was
not only the eminent physician, tho
sincere Christian, the truly upright
man, and the public spirited citizen,
but he was the genial, courteous,
accomplished gentleman, whose fa
miliar features will be missed from
the accustomed haunts, whose kind
ly smile will nevermore be seen upon
earth and the friendly grasp of
whose hand will be lost to all.
Few men upon this earth have de
served more of their fellows and few
we reverently say it could afford
to lay down the burden of life more
cheerfully with the assured hope,
the almost unimpeachable certainty,
of the blissful reward that awaits in
another world those who have so
well, and so faithfully, borne the
burden and the heat of life's little
day.
Dr. Thomas' remains were to-day
tenderly laid away to rest in Oak
dale's beautiful city of the dead,
there to calmly await the resur
rection morn. The fuueral took
place at the residence and a long
line of mourners followed them to
their last resting plaee. It was one
of the largest funerals we have ever
seen in Wilmington., and this fact
alone is an eloquent attestation to
his worth and to the grief felt by all
at the'bereavement which has fallen
upon us. During the hours of the
funefal every drug store in the city
was closed and. all who could at
tended the obsequies. The active
pall bearers were Capt. W. R. Ke
nan, Capt. John T. Rankin, Mr.
R. N. Sweet, Capt. J. H. Daniel, Col.
W. C. Jones, and Mr. E. S. Martin.
The honorary pall-bearers were Dr.
A. J. DeRosset, Hon. Geo. Davis,
and Mr. Donald MacRae.
The members of the Vestry of St.
James and of the New Hanover
County Medical Society attended as
bodies.
