New York, Alay 11. —Delmonico’s, the best known of New York’s old restau-* rants and the last of the establish imonts to bear the famous name, has I fallen into the hands of the sheriff, jwith the probability that the place will j follow others of its kind into the ob livion which came with the Volstead act. The passing of the restaurant will bring a sigh of regret from epi cures the world over. Presidents and princes have been entertained there by the warm French hospitality and gaiety for which it was famous. It was art and was generally accepted as such. To have lived in New York, or to have visited this city, without dining at one of the Deimonico restaurants, would, a few years ago, have been to have missed an opportunity of shining before people who had never been in New York. It would have been like leaving Philadelphia without seeing the Aliut, or Boston without seeing the Common, or Chicago without seeing the Masonic Temple. To have dined at any of the Deimonico restaurants, when there were four of them, was something to bilk about; to have din ed at the original Deimonico. or the Deimonico that from 181)0 umil about 11117 occupied the site of the first Dei monico restaurant,, at Beaver and AA'il liam streets, was an experience to di late upon. Os all the Deimonico res taurants. tin* one that has now fallen into difficulties is all that remains, and this for a long time has been conduct/ ed hy people not related to the Del mopieo family. Deimonico long ago liecame only a trade name, and now it is likely to disappear altogether. John and Peter Deimonico arrived, in New York nearly a century ago from Switzerland, and had been in the city only a few weeks when they issued a circular, in English and in French, announcing that they were prepared t(* supply holiday refresh ments. fancy cakes, and ices, at num bers 21 and 23 William street. This was the beginning. Between 1827 and the outbreak of the civil war the Bel monicos became known throughout the length, and breadth of the land, and in other parts of the globe as well. The little Shop* sdofCd**paiide<l into -cal'e, and the case spread completely over the premises. In 1830 the Deliffionico brothers erected on the site a four story building, and. this proving too contracted, they added a section to it. In 1800 these quarters were replaced hy an eight-story structure. In 1803 the brothers opened an es tablishment at Fourteepth street aud Fifth avenue, which became the scene of many celebrated dinners and halls. Here the famous dinner costing $25,- 000 was given in honor of Sir Morton Peto. Another great dinner given in this restaurant was in honor of Char les Dickens, In 1878 the Delmonicos surpassed previous achievements and moved to Twenty-sixth street and Fifth avenue. In 1800 there was another move to the present building at Fifth ave nue and Forty-foil till street. Strangers were welcomed in the Dei monico restaurants, although all of them preserved an air of apparent, ex clusiveness. It is told of the Deimoni co system that if a stranger should drop in aud order to his heart's con tent,. and at the conclusion express sorrow that he had forgotten his pock etbook, the manager would smile and, after*- asking him to indorse his bill, courteously bow the guest out. If the latjer returned and squared* up in due time, all was well; if he failed to do this, he would b<- refused service thereafter, even though he offered to pay in advance.' The unwritten motto of the house of Deimonico was, "Every patron is assumed to be a gentleman until he tuitis out to be something else.” .Missionary Education Conference in Pictures. Tonight at 8 o’clock in the First Presbyterian Church Mr. J. J. King, of the Blue Ridge Association, will show two reels of motion pictures of Blue Ridge and outline the Missionary Education Conference which meets at Blue Ridge from June 20th to July sth. All who are interested in the mission ary program of the church, especially those representing the work of the Sunday School, the young peoples’ and missionary societies of the church are urged to be present.

This occasion is of great interest and pleasure, and it is without a doubt the diost charming social event of the school year for the Juniors and Seniors. Invitations had previously l>een is sued by the Juniors to all the mem bers of'the Senior Class, the parents of both classes, and Special friends of the school. The auditorium was beautifully dec orated by the artistic hands of the Juniors. The color scheme of green and white and gold and white was car ried out in the decorations. As the guests arrived they were greeted by the receiving line compos ed of the. suj>erintendent, the princi pal and all the high school teachers and class officers. The beautiful young ladies in their . lovely gowns and the handsome young men made a beautiful picture among so much loveliness. Charles Parks, president of the Jun ior (’lass, delivered the welcome ad dress. This was responded to by Fred Goodman, president of the Senior Class. Mr. Wehh and Mrs. McLeod made very interesting talks when called up on by the Junior president, who pre sided during the evening. The music was one of the most striking features. An orchestra fur nished excellent music. This orches tra was composed of Concord's own talented musicians. The Juniors and Senior class songs were sung. The Seniors also sang a snappy little song to the Juniors who proved such royal hosts. v Several members of the Junior Class gave a mock trial. This caused much interest. The defendant. Robert Peck, was tried .for murdering the king's English. Some of the witnesses brought down the house. Ed. Walker occupied the judge'sseat. The jury after some moments of deliberation found the poor man guilty and sentenced him to five years of hard labor to learn the English language. The Seniors were requested to go downstairs and march up to the au ditorium. Attractive favors were giv en thi' Senior girls and hoys as they inarched along. TJie favors were at -4 tractive caps, and a fortune was inclos ed. During the evening punch was serv ed at two tables. Refreshments con sisted of a delicious frozen fruit salad _ course. This reception will never he forgot ten by the Juniors, who did so much to make it so great a success, and it can never be forgotten by the'Seniors, in whose honor it was given. Friday night’s event /diall go down in high school history as one of the most charming and elaborate receptions " ever given by a Junior Class. Germany's Gentle Poor Sell Their Old Finery. Berlin, May 12. — Thousands /of German gentlewomen arc now going through the tragedy which Russian women of the same class have sinter ed for several years. Widows of of ficers and government officials, wo men with small pensions and limited incomes from investments, find them selves unable to buy the plainest food with their depreciated marks. A few' days, ago lie aged widow of a once prominent physician anu fter invalid daughter were found almost deaf!* from hunger in their nome. which had. been stripped of every saleable article. The mother had done' needlework as long as she was aDle. She was too proud to ask charity, and the doctors who were called by neighbors to attend her said both the mother and daughter, if left alone, would have been dead in another 24 hours. In an .effort to alleviate the condi tion of such persons and protect them from unscrupulous second-hand deal ers, a number of philanthropic*.Ber lin womens have organized a fair where second-hand articles may he offered for sale. The owners may act as their own sales-agents. or entrust their wares to representative's of the committee. With German efficiency the mem bers of the relief committee nave provided tables behind .which the sellers have chairs. They are mostly elderly women. Many of them are cripples, and almost without excep tion their worn and old fashioned clothing indicates their gentle birth. A few very old men sit among the ,women, and scarcely any of the ven dors are young enough to do any manual lajwr. Thus they sit, day after day, waiting the chance to exchange the finery of by-gone days into fuel and food for today. 28 Freight Tars Bur reed in Soutliern Railway Yard*. Norfolk Va., May 12. — Twenty eight freight cars, seven of which were loaded with freight were de stroyed by fire which originated in an abandoned warehouse in the South ern raiway yard at Pinners Point early today.

Raleigh, May 12. —A labor shortage of the farms of North .Carolina already is being fe>t. but the situation in this not as serious as in other sec tions of the South as a result of an exodus of negroes to the North. M. L. hipiuau, commissioner of la Inn- and printing announced today. Officials of the United States and Free State employment service in Charlotte; Raleigh. Wilmington. Win ston-Salem and other cities have been notified by she Commissioner to report to the county authorities any case of an agent without license soliciting the employment of negroes for jobs in the North. ‘•The obvious reason for this exo dus.” said Mr. Shipman, is "promise of higher wages and better living condi tions. Social standing is also jield out ns an inducement in contrast to the entire separation-of the races in the South socially and politically. ‘•The volume of negro. migration from North Carolina is less noticeable than from other Southern states, and little effort has been made to check it. The farmers are feeling it more than any other class, and .an acute labor shortage on the farms seems to be im pending. It is felt rather keenly al ready.” CHARLOTTE POSTMASTER TO GET $5,000 SALARY Four Postoffices in State Raised from Second to First Class. Washington.
