Required to Pay Costs for an
Affray Other Cases Before
Recorder Yesterday.
In the Recorder's court yesterday
morning the case against Alderman 3.
15. Fales and Patrolman J. H. Davis,
charged with an affray, as the result
of a personal encounter at the Front
street market house Monday after
noon, was called for trial, having been
continued from Tuesday.
Both defendants werei represented
by counsel, Fred W. Bonitz, Esq.,
m om ber of the Board of Aldermen, ap
pearing for nis associate on the board,
and Walter P. Gafford, Esq., for the
oilit-er.

lished in this paper, but Alderman
Fales did not make a statement. The
Recorder taxed them with the costs,
amounting to $5 each.
Joe Pea. Nelie Smith and Sarah
Jane Holden, colored, were in court
to answer to the charge of assault on
each other, but there was no evidence
against them and the defendants were
discharged. Yesterday morning about
2:30 o'clock Joe Pea, who is well
known in police circles, entered police
headquarters with blood flowing pro
fusely from an ugly wound on the
left side of his face. He had already
lost a considerable quantity of blood
and was in a very weakened condl
tion. He appeared to be under the in
tluence of some intoxicant. Pea said
that he was cut some hours before,
hut it was evident that the wound had
not been long made. He refused to
tell the officers how he received the
severe stab and was inclined to be
impudent when questioned. The man
needed medical attention and that
badly, so Assistant Chief of Police,
Woolard called the hospital ambu
lance, the vehicle arriving in about 20
minutes. In the meantime Sergeant
Howell made a little Investigation on
the outside of the building and found
a mulatto youth sitting in front of the
Orrell 'livery stables. He learned that
the youth accompanied Pea as far as
the stables, and the youth was brought
to headquarters, where he was put
through the "sweating process." He
told the officers, finally, 'that the trou
ble occurred at the home of Sarah
Jane Holden, in Wilson's alley, be
tween Nun and Church streets, near
Seventh, but declared that he was not
present at the time. Sergeants. How
ell and Grimsleyfwent.to the home of
the Holden woman, arrested her an
Nellie Smith on the charge of an af
fray. The Holden and Smith women
and Pea were made defendants and as
direct evidence could not be secured
against them the case had to be dis
missed. Buddie Lyon, alias John Walker,
colored, was tried on the charge of as
sult with deadly weapon, to-wit: a pis
tol, on Son Darlington Sunday about
noon, at corner of Eighth and Nixon
streets. It will be, recalled that Dar
lmgton, who" was hfmseff shot in the
foot, made hii escape and-has not
been captured.f Walker was shot in
the hand and two innocent by-stander3
were also shot. There was no evidence
adduced agamst Walker and the case
was dismissed. Walter P. Gafford,
Esq.. appeared for the defendant. ,v,
t Cornelia Pollock, colored, picked up
at 12th and Castle streets early yes
terday mornine. was arraigned on the
charge of drunkenness. She -was tax
ed with the costs, but had not raised
the amount yesterday afternoon.

BOYS' BRIGADE RECEPTION
Public Invited to Visit the Armory

gramme Arranged by Social
Committee.
As announced in The Star Sunday

the Boys' Brigade at their armory,

DR. JOSEPH A. HOLMES.
Appreciative Sketch of His Career in
Current Number of Hampton's.
Many Wilmington friends of Dr. Jo
seph A. Holmes, formerly of the facul
ty of the University of North Carolina,
Dut lately engaged in scientific re
search for the United States govern
ment, a hrnther-Ln-law nf Tecr
James, T. E.. and Wm. H. Sprunt. of
this city, will be interested to know
that there is a highly aDDreciative
sketch of his career in the current
number of Hampton's Magazine, the
occasion of the magazine being the
recent elevation of the scholarly Dr.
Holmes to the head of the new Bureau
of Mines, recently established. Hamp
ton's is free to say that Dr. Holmes
has probably contributed more than
any other .man in the eovernment ser
vice towards the accomplishment or
the purposes of The conservation
movement. Speaking of his scien
tiric work in connection with the
mines of the country, the magazine
further says:
"When Dr. Holmes, a dozen years
age. was appointed chief of the Tech
nologic Branch, American mining
methods were the crudest, most fate
ful and dangerous in any enlightened
country. Few people knew or cared
anything about scientific mining.
"Dr. Holmes studied mining meth
ods in France, Belgium, Germany,
England wherever there was a tho
rough understanding (if proper mining
and of protecting the miner. He
found that we were killing three
times as many men out of each thous
and working under ground as were Eu
ropean countries.
"Dr. Holmes set himself to find the
flaws in American methods. Vvhen
such disasters occurred as those " at
Mononga. at the Darr Mine, at Palos,
in Alabama, and at the Cherry Mine
in Illinois, he hurried to the spot, don
ned an oxygen helmet which he had
borrowed from Germany, and went
below. Where noxious gases had
snuffed out the lives of the miners, he
penetrated. His organized rescuers
with the safety equipment of the Euro
pean miners, saved many lives,
tiolmes hung doggedly to the trail ot
the cause of disaster. He set other
strong and daring young men on the
same trail, and soon was announcing
scientific discoveries about the cause
of disasters, such as even the expert
of Europe had sought in vain.
"Small, wonder tnat so practical a
service should have grown rapidly.
The demand for the creation of a
Bureau of Mines, to take over and
expand all these activities, finally at
tained such force that Congress at
the last session, passed the law. Dr.
Holmes, whose work made the bu
reau inevitable, is-, naturally the man
to be its chief.
" "Joseph A. Holmes is a native of
South Carolina, fifty-one years old,
a member of one of the fine old aristo
cratic families of that State, a gradu
ate of Cornell University in 1881, fo
ten years Professor of Geology in the
University of North Carolina, three
years State Geologist of that State,
and since that time connected with
the Geological Survey."
REGENERATION" THE SUBJECT.
Able Sermon at Bladen Street M. E.
Church Last Night.
The revival at Bladen Street Meth
odist church, which began Sunday,
continues with increased interest;
There has been a spiritual awakening
of, the church and many unsaved have
professed faith during the week. Rev.
E. M. Hoyle, of Lumberton. who is as
sisting the pastor, Rev. W. L. Rexford,
is preaching some very able and stirr
ing sermons. Last night he used as
his subject, "Regeneration.'' It was
a powerful sermon delivered with tel
ling effect. Services are being held
every afternoon at 3:30 o'clock and
at 8 o'clock at night. The church has
been crowded at each service.
The New Bonds
If you have North Carolina
Pour Per Cent Bonds, , due

for the new Issue. We pur
chased $150,000.00 of the new

NOW IS THE TIME
TO BEGIN' WORK
Few Thousand
Not Make Much Difference
With Persistent Work
Hereafter -The Coupons.
Now is the time to put forth every
effort. The fact that one contestant
has a few thousand more votes than
another, should not have a tendency
to discourage any of the contestants,
as the winners in the contest are al
most sure to be the ones who keep
their votes in reserve, and do not let
others know their exact standing. Tho
reason that the contest department
desires contestants to hold back their
votes, is only to keep anyone from
knowing their standing near the end
of the contest, so that anybody could
put in a little money, and win out
above others who have worked per
sonally. Subscriptions are what the Morn
ing Star desires, and in the final wind-
up it will be noticed that the con
testants who have put forth every
effort themselves to be a winner, will
be the ones who will carry off the
premiums, and not the ones who have
been disinterested.
Daily Write-Up.
The daily write-up that appears in
the contest columns of the Morning
Star should be read carefully by every
contestant, and also by everyone in
terested in any contest in the great
Star contesf. As these series of arti
cles, describe now only the many pre
miums that are offered, but also jan
swer the different questions that are
asked by contestants, both by mail and
in person.
Inquiries Mad?
For instance, there were in yester
day's mail many inquiries in regard
to whether a contestant could secure
subscriptions outside of their district,
wherein they are working as a con
testant in the great Star Contest. In
answering this the contest depart
ment states that subscribers can ba
secured anywhere. If any contestant
in District 1 wants to work in Dis
trict 5, they have that opportunity;
at the same time if a contestant in
District 5 wants to work in District 2,
they are allowed that privilege.
Subscriptions Outside of District.
If any contestant has friends in
New York, San Francisco, Chicago, or
any other part of the United States,
she may write them a letter stating
that she is a contestant, and if they
care to subscribe the contestant will
secure the same number of votes, as
if she had secured the subscriptions
in her own territory.
Vote and Nomination Coupons.
Through an oversight in the compos
ing room of the Star, nomination blank
and also the coupon were left out of
yesterday's paper and throughout the
day the telephone of the 'contest de
partment constantly reminded us of
the fact that the general public were
interested in the little missive of en
couragement, the, gathering of which
has demonstrated the activity of the
many contestants entered in The
Star's friendly tug of war, and right
here it will be necessary to mention
to all contestants and their friends
that they can materially assist the
contest department by trimming the
coupons neatly and endeavor to tie,
pin or sew them together in packages.
Every day there are hundreds of bal
lots come in that kV'c as though they
had been chopped from the paper with
an ax or had been torn from the paper
of a maji while he was racing for a
street car, there are also numerous
ballots sent to the contest office with
out any name upon them, hereafter
ballots must be cut neatly or they will
be discarded, these ballots will appear
daily from now on and it is well for
each contestant to gather as many
as possible as a valuable prize may
be won or lost by a few votes.
Consult Dr. Vineberg, the eye spe
cialist, Masonic Temple, about youT
eyesight. You will be pleased. Every
new style in glasses and frames al
ways on hand.

PLANS FOR NEW HOUSES.
Mr. George Sloan to Build Handsome
Residence at Winter Park.
Work will be commenced today on
a handsome residence for Mr. George
Sloan at Winter Park, a rapidly grow
ing suburb. The plans for the building
were drawn by Mr. L. A. H. Koeth,
the well knewn architect, and the es
timated cost is $2,500. The building
will be of 'the old English style of
architecture.. Shingles will be used
on the sides of the house; there will
be cement stucco front on the second
story with the two-gable effect. The
shingles will be left tobe stained by
the weather and the trimmings will
be cream colored. The point of most
interest about this building is the fact
that beaver board will be used
throughout the house instead of plas
tering. Beaver board has been on the
market for some time and Is very
popular in some sections, but so far
as could be learned has never been
used in a house in this community
before. The building will have four
rooms on the first floor and four rooms
with bath on the second floor.
Plans have also been drawn bv Mr.
Koeth for a handsome residence next
door to the residence that will be
erected by Mr. Sloan. It will be of
the Dutch Colonial style of architec
ture and will contain seven room?
Beaver board will also be used in this
house, the building of which will not
begin until next Spring.

ALL MY PIMPLES GONE.
Girl Tells How a Blotchy Skin Was
Cleansed by a Simple Wash.
"I was ashamed of my face," writes
Miss Minnie Pickard of Altamahaw,
N. C. "It was all full of pimples and
scars, but after using D. D. D. Pre
scription I can say that now there is
no sign of that eczema, and that was
three years ago."
D. D. D. has become so famous as
a ;cure and instant relief in eczema
and all other serious skin' diseases,
that its value is sometimes overlooked
in clearing up rash, pimples, black
heads, and all other minor forms of
skin impurities.
The fact is, that while D. D. D. Is
so penetrating that it strikes to tho
very root of eczema or any other
serious trouble, the soothing oil or
Wlntergreen, Thymol and other ln
gredients are so carefully compounded
"there is no wash for the skin made
that can compared with this great
household remedy for every kind of
skin trouble.
D. D. D. is pleasant to use, perfect
ly harmless to the most delicate skin,
and absolutely reliable. A 2i cent
bottle will give you positive proof or
the .wonderful effectiveness of this
great remedy.
