MANY MINISTERS WILL ATTEND SERVICES Solemn Mass Will be Held In Cathedral Public Re ception at Rectory In The Evening. Elaborate preparations are beirig made by the congregation of St. Mary's pro-Cathedral for the celebra tion of the silver jubilee of the Very Rev. C. Dennen, who has been pastor of the local church for 26 years. Al though Father Dennen came to Wil mington June 27, 1891, TuesdayNo vemtter 14th, has been selected as the day for the festivities. Bishop Leo Haid, of Belmont, N. C, together with about 35 priests from this State and from Baltimore and Philadelphia, will be present at the V D 1 ceremonies. Many of the visiting tnat have been passed by the Demo ministers who will attend were col-cratic Party since its reestablishment lege e ates of Father Dennen.

The dedicatory ser vice will be held November 12, Sun day preceding the pubilee services here. Bishop Haid will deliver the principal sermon at the dedication services. Father Dennen, in whose honor the jubilee services are to be held, was born in Danville, Pa., January 5, 1866. He was educated in the public schools of that place and the Parochial schools of Shomokin Pa., where his parents had moved in 1875. Feeling a call to the Priesthood, Father Dennen entered St. Vincent's College at Latrobe, Pa., to study clas sics in 1882. His seminary course of philosophy and theology was finished in the same college and he was or dained to the priesthood by the Right Rev. Leo Haid, in Belmont, N. C, June 14, 1891. The young priest was immediately sent to Wilmington to assist Rev. Patrick Moore, who was then an invalid. Father Dennen's earnestness and ac- tiveness here resulted in the erection of the magnificient cathedral on Fifth and Ann streets, which was dedicated a few years ago. Father Dennen is well and favorably known in Wilming ton, in which city he has taken an ac tive part for its welfare for the' past many years. It is the earnest desire of the con gregation of St. Mary's Cathedral that the general public attend both the mass at the church in the morning and the reception at the rectory, in the evening. JUST A LITTLE PAINT. Princess Street Front of Garrell Build ing Appears Inviting. The transformation accomplished by painters of the Princess street front of the Garrell building, corner of Princess and North Second streets, is nothing short of wonderful and the entrance to Elvington Pharmacy and the building recently vacated by the Wilmington Furniture Company will compare favorably with any in the city. . An experienced grainer has done his work well and the entrances are not only pleasing to the eye, but appear actually inviting. The interior of the two stores has been treated to new coats of paint and .while the odor is anything but pleasant in the Elvington store at present that will soon have passed and the building's beauty . will have been enhanced ten-fold.

Figures do not lie and the speak er told in concrete figures and facts just what the Democrats had done since the State government had p"on OI &oum -'arolma which has the same rates as is enjoyed here He stated that the per capita tax rate for State purposes in North Car olina was $1.46. This was in answer to the charge of Marion Butler who, early in the campaign, charged the Democratic party with extravagance. The Republican candidate for gov ernor, Mr. Linny, following Mr. But ler's charge that the State was ex travagant, charged that the. State and county government taken together, was extravagant, but Mr. Travis re futed this by stating that the com bined taxes for the State and county was only $4.45 per capita. The charge by Marion Butler that the State was being bonded too -feeav- ilv hv thA nrsont nr-tv that ic in1" company m wnicn uie puun- power was also ably answered by the,tiff is sueins for WMM allesed dam speaker, who declared that when thcMaSes received in an accident while Democrats came back into power in.1? the employe of the company.

He review ed the bond issue of $68,000,000 that was put on the State by Mr. Butler and told of the suit that was brought by South Dakota to secure the pay ment of these fraudulent bonds and stated that part of .th present In crease was due to the payment of the judgment that South Dakota secured from North Carolina. While discussing bonds, Mr. Travis stated that at the present time North Carolina has railroad stock and other property enough, if a balance were struck, to put her on the asset side of the ledger by a safe $9,000,000. While on State issues he touched on the good roads movement that had been stimulated by the Democrats and told of the wonderful ' benefits these roads were to the whole State. Education, too, came in for its share of discussion and Mr. Travis stated that since 1900, on coming into power, the Democrats had erected a schoolhouse for everyday since then. I National issues were takfiti im spr-- ond by the sneaker, who nraised the constructive administration of the President and reviewed each of the big acts that had been passed, put ting especial emphasis on the Fed eral Reserve Act, the Shipping Bill, the Farm Loan Banks and the Adam son Bill, he telling briefly the good each ha.d done for the country. Commenting on the stand taken by the President, as compared to what the Republicans might do should they succeed in getting office, Mr. Travis said that at present the Na tion was enjoying the greatest pros perity that it had ever known and was at peace with the world, while the. Republican nominee for the Pres- idency had stated 'repeatedly that should he be elected he would pursue fax Mills, a 6,000 gallon tank -and vil a much more stringent method of lage -equipment; River View (Ala.) dealing with foreign powers than had Mill, village equipment; Springfield Tbeen pursued by Mr. Wilson. in conclusion the spealce.- quoted from the speech of Hon.

The large tabernacle at Fourth and Castle streets, which will be the scene of the Fourth Annual Wilmington . Corn Show for four days this week, beginning Tuesday morning, is now a place of thriving activity and the 20,- 000 feet of space has been converted into a large number of display booths for the great variety of agricultural, educational and business exhibits, which will be more attractive and in teresting this year than ever. The erectIon of tne tents, which ' - - wm add ten thousand more leet to the general display, was completed yesterday and placed in readiness to receive the live stock and machinery exhibits which will be an important feature of the show The responsive manner in which the Wilmington section and the other interested counties are contributing to the success of the fair is a matter of special significance at this time, and is sufficient proof that the large increase in size is amply justified. Of first importance is the agricul tural exhibit, which will occupy 1 a large space in the main building. The corn show, coming after the many county and community fairs, which have displays from each one of these, ern North Carolina this year, will ihave disnlav from each one of these. and will be the general summary or 'a most excellent exhibit of agricul- tural development in-this section of will make the prize winning a matter of great importance and interest and will attract an unusually large num ber of visitors to the show. The in dividual exhibits are also more num erous this year, and as( special atten tion has been paid to this feature and space has bren freely allotted, they will be of marked attractiveness . and compelling interest. Educational exhibits will be display ed from practically all of the nine counties. These with the art and j fancy work exhibits will also be of greater excellence and much more mimerous. The floral exhibits will surpass the splendid efforts of pre j vious shows, and with their usual:' at i tractiveness will add tremendously too j the general appearance of the fair nrnnpr Amnfpnr nnrisrs navft also j . ,nv1t.H hv th R.pf,ll.vn Com j t make dlaplays and space ha8 been provided. While no prjzes are offered in premium books for this, a special prize will be awarded if there is sufficient competition. v Many communications with refer ence to live stock for the Corn Show exhibit have been received during the past week and it is very evident that fthis portion of the fair will be in well keeping with the other features. Ef forts to create more general interest in this very important exhibit have been a success. Business houses in Wilmington and this section as well as manufacturers are taking advantage of the Show to attractively advertise their wares, and although its growth has compelled a charge for this privilege, they realise that it is a great medium for secur ing public attention and almost all' of the 10,000 feet of space assigned: to these exhibits in the main building has .been taken. In order to take care of those who will probably be unable to get into the main building ample space has been provided in the mach inery tent for many who are expected to apply before the Corn Show opens .
