GLORIOUS. SEASON BEGINS Christmas Eve an Unpropitious Day for Shopping, but a Large Number vVcrc on Streets and Many Sales Were Made. Had he tried his utmost the weather u,an could hardly have been more in considerate of the people of Wilming ton and this section than he was yes terday when he gave one of the most disagreeable" days of the season as the last one in which the people might do their shopping before the dawn of the not ions Christmas Day this morning However, and despite the efforts of the weather man to the contrary, there were hundreds of shoppers on the streets throughout the day and until a late hour last night and the mer chants report that their day's sales, while perhaps somewhat under what they had estimated, were exceedingly good, and they did not see fit to reg ister a very strenuous kick. Throughout the day and evening there was a drizzly rain making it not only disagreeable under foot but nec essarv to carry an umbrella to protect one from drenching, if he had to be out for any considerable length of time. Fortunately, it was noc. very cold, otherwise Christmas shopping would have been almost out of the question, as it invariably nappens, many people found at the last minute that a present for nome relative or friet'd had not been bought and a search for a suitable article was be gun with a vengeance. Everybody was in a hurry and all were afraid they would forget something or that some body would get the article they had in wind to purchase. Following a beautiful custom, that has ever prevailed in this section, par ticularly, in nearly every office and place of business yesterday there was an exchange of Chrftmas presents, as a token of appreciation of the friend ship of one for the other. Perhaps a greater number of gifts than usual were exchanged among employees of different offices and establishments in this city. The supply of Christmas greens, to eluding trees, wreaths and other de corative materials, has been greater than ever before and the prices have remained at a nominal rate. Very few, if any, homes are without the Christ mas decorations this season and prac tically all the business houses are elaborately decorated. The past week has been one of un usual activity in all lines, even for the week preceding Christmas. One of the busiest places in the city has been the postoffice and it is stated that never before have so many Christmas packages been sent away from Wilmington and so many receiv ed in return from other places. This is an indication of the prosperity that prevails throughout the country. The regnlftj force of clerks and farriers were so overtaxed that it was neces sary to employ extra men, three car viers being engaged and very attache and official of the post office were at work in the office. Even the post master has been making more than the usual number of working houfs. Under the law, the carriers may work only eight hours a day, but the clerks' day has no limit and they tre not paid over time. While additional carriers are provided, no extra clerks are em ployed in the Wilmington office which makes it necessary for every man in the office to work over time and work hard. Perhaps nobody in Wilmington will be gladder to see the season end than the employees of the postoffice. I he Southern Express Co. people have also been hard worked and from indications the number of packages handled by them exceeded that of last year, both incoming and outgoing. Throughout yesterday could be heard the noise of tne fire cracker and the blast of the irrepressible tin horn which gave unmistakable evidence of the fact that Christmas Eve had ar rived and the time of beginning oi the holiday festivities was at hand. Last night one walking down the streets could hardly near himself talk, so great was the noise made by the holi day celebrators. The crowds were or derly and the true Christmas .spirit prevailed. As Christmas Day this year falls on Sunday, tomorrow will be observed as a holiday. All the banks and coun ty and city offices and many of the mercantile establishments will be closed. Business will be practically at a standstill and the thoughts of the people will be on anything but busi ness for the most part. MEN'S MEETING TODAY.

THE GRAND THEATRE OPENING Wilmington's Handsome New Theatre Thrown Open to Public and En thusiastically Received Best Entertainment. Wilmineton's maenificent new nnnu- ,ar taafra nn ,; ' ' ' 'V "l ted up at large expense y Mr J- M Solky, in the Solky building, on North Front street, was thrown open to the public with a high-class bill last even ing and even though there was enough to divide interest with most any amusement enterprise, the theatre was packed literally from "pit to dome," the beautiful new playhouse being most enthusiastically received by the Wilmington public. The doors were thrown open at 7:30 o'clock and there was a rush at once for seats. A large amount of money has been spent in making this the pre mier theatre of its class in North Car olina and for beauty and grandeur, it can have few equals in the entire country. With handsome tiled vesti bule, the most goregeous fittings and appointments throughout, Mr. Solky has spared no expense to meet the de mands of Wilmington for a high-class popular theatre. The policy of the house will be the best to be had in motion pictures, illustrated songs and music by an orchestra engaged speci ally for this house. Something entire ly new in moving pictures will be pre sented each aay, with all the effects by the orchestra and special equip ment constructed for this purpose. The large audiences were delighted last evening by the sweet singing of Mr. Frank Banks, until the arrival of ttu regular soloist, who will have a per manent place on the programme. Mr. Eugene LeBarre will appear as cornet virtuoso and the orchestra played for the opening selections from Madjame Sherry and The Chocolate Soldier. Mr John F. Kneisel will have charge of the music and will give his entire time and attention to this part of the "pro gramme. Mr. LeBarre is a cornetiBt of exceptionl ability and his rendition of the celebrated "Russian Fantasia' and "Every Little Movement" will be well worth the price of admission. The doors will open nightly at 7:30 P. M. with a continuous performance until 11:40 P. M. Architecturally and in finishings, the Grand is one of the prettiest plac es imaginable and Mr. Solky invites the public to come and see for them selves just what a pretty place he has. The general contracting work has been done by Messrs. R. H. Brady and Dan'els; the electrical work by Mr. G. T. Williamson; the plumbing by Mr. Dozier; the heating" by Mr. Iongley; the ventilating and lighting by the Tidewater Power Co., and the handsome tiling by Mr. J. Carewe. SIXDAl SERVICES.

Mich.) will give you a large sized case of these elegant little fat reducers, containing a good, generous supply, for seventy-five cents, and even this quantity should be enough to make a decided im pression on yonr excess fat.
