WILL NOT GIVE' UP ' YET
Ladies Will Strive ' to Secure
Play
ground Funds Until the First of
March-i-Active Work Going
on Children Help.
Although today was set as the very
last one in., the campaign" for, the play
ground funds, unless, the $10,000 need
ed was within reach, the ladies who
have worked so hard 7for the play
ground have determined tor keepup
the canvass until it is more evident
than it is now that the proposition is
impossible. They have been given
until March 1st by Mr. Wright to take
over the property offered. by him for
the idayground. '
About two score school children
have been at work a part of this week
canvassing the city for subscriptions,
and they have not reported yet, but
will report today. Something depends
on the result of their labors i and if
they make a good showing the efforts
of the promoters will be redoubled. A
meeting of the committees will be held
either today or Monday at which time
definite action of some kind -will , be
taken. : "
Ullmington' ladies are not used to
giving up a project after they have tak
en hold of it, and they dislike exceed
ingly the idea of surrendering this
playground, on which they have set
their hearts. Arguments of .a techni
cal nature against the proposed park
have little or no weight with them.
They know that the children of the
city need and should have a play
ground; here is an- opportunity to get
one, and the rest can take care of it
self; they want it.
They have labored with untiring
zeal and have raised a tidy sum, but
not enough to carry out their plans.
Conversant with this - playground sub
ject, far more than the men are, and
knowing the inestimable value of such
a reserve for city children, having
kept up with, the movement through
out the country, they will quit, if they
are forced to do so, with the utmost J
reluctance. Cities all over the coun
try have responded to the appeals of
the women's clubs in behalf of play
grounds and it has caused not a little
surprise that Wilmington, should take
to the matter so slowly. " . -
The recent order of the . City , Coun
cil, heartily endorsed by many citizens.
That skating on the sidewalks shall
cease altogether, adds a new phase to
the playground question since it means
either the cessation of a popular and
healthful sport, or carrying it od in
the streets, where there is always
present an element of danger.
It is very likely that at the meeting
to be held today or -Monday, the la
dios will summon all. their reserves
and take the field more vigorously
than ever to get the necessary money
for the playground, and that they wiii
Thoroughly canvass every section' of
ihe city, until they either get the $10,-
'Oo or ascertain beyond any doubt
that the citizenship is not sufficiently'
interested in' the1 lindefta'king to help
them secure the property. ,

ENTERTAINMENT LAST NIGHT-
Commonwealth Male QuartettevPlesis-
ed Large Audience at Brigade ' ;
U , The Commonwealth Male Onarfbtta
the fifth number of the Boys Brigade
Lyceum coarse, appeared Tef ore a
packed house last night who thorough
ly enjoyed, an entertainment which
was popular, in every sense. These
young men-proved themselves to be
exceedingly versatile, presenting not
'only some of the numbers which are
considered staid and elegant but many
!which proved really humorous and
which ,kept the large audience in a
roar of. laughter during much of the
evening.- . Every number was applaud
ed to the echo so pleasing was each.
As -soloists . they.: were very , good
though their humorous quartette work
was the best feature presented. Be
sides the singing of the quartette, Mr.
Carpenter proved himself to be a read
er and impersonator, of high quality
and thus feature was also enjoyed
greatly. $ There was something to suit
every, variety of taste and disposition
and apparently every one was thor
oughly pleased. It proved to be one
of the most popular numberss so far
presented. - v
Just prior to the beginning of the
programme Mr: Dushan addressed the
audience - briefly setting forth ..some
facts -relative to the special concert
by . Mr, Myron W. Whitney and Miss
Margurite Valentine. " Cards had been
distributed at the door the "use of
which was to reserve tickets for this
concert, and in fiv.e minutes .almost
200 were taken- This assures the fi
nancial feature of the concert, though
it will require the sale cf about .150
more before the entire- expense is
covered. These will probably be sold
within the next few days. Tickets
may be reserved through Mr. Dushan
until 400 are " taken,' after which no
more can be secured. The price, ' is
75 cents.

nce a ..number of addresses on sub:
jects related to unionism. While there
will be representatives from every
Union in the city, the majority of

and it is . hoped to so impress them
with the purposes and plans of the
union.: that a stronger bond of fellow
ship may be created among the work
ingmen of the various crafts in Wil

Committees have been hard at work
for some time on preparations for the
event and it promises to be a very en
jovable affair. It is entirely informal,
as befits such an occasion, and nothing

: Mr. John L?T James, of Sloan, Pen

in. the citjv reported to police head
quarters yesterday morning : the loss
of a check.for $40.54 and a number of

He stated that-he. had arrived on the

the city srbout'3 A. M., and. had taken
a rdoni at the Southern Hotel.; On re
tiring, he" said, he put the money and
check, rolled up and held by a! rubber
band, : under his pillow. He arose at
8 o'clock and went off without think
ing of the roll, and did not think of
it untif about 11 o'clock, when he
missed It. Going back to the hotel,
he found the bed as he had left it, but
the cash was gone, and there is no

in his favor by E. S. Kerr, of Wallace,
to stop payment and notified the local
banks. Among the bills lost was one
$20 gold certificate. Like all hotels,
the management, while regretting the
incident, holds itself responsible only
for valuables left at the desk.

AGAIN THE INCINERATOR
Company
Representative of Decarie
Arrives Telegram Received
from the Maxwell Co. Ear--v
ly Action.
If the present city administration is
going to purchase an incinerator for
the destruction of garbage and trash.
about which the public has heard so
much for the past few months, some
definite action likely will be taken by
the Council within, the next few days;
certainly within the next month. There
appears to be a general demand for an
incinerator to destroy the garbage and
trash collected by the street depart
ment and members of Council realize
the necessity for a plant of the kind.
"The trouble all along--h.as- been that
of financing the proposition. A sug
gestion has recently t;been made and fa
vorably received by Council that the
General Assembly be asked to give to
the city" authority to issue notes to
run for one, two, three and four years
to cover the dost of the plant, it be
ing argued that the paper could be
more easily disposed of if backed up
by legislative authority..
The contract for the Installation of
a 40-ton . capacity incinerator was
awarded to the JDecarie Incinerator
Company, of Minneapolis, Minn., some
months ago, for $34,000. The coifnty
agreed to share in the cost of the pur
chase and maintenance of the plant to
the extent of one-fifth for the privilege
of using it for destroying carrion and
any trash that might be hauled in here
from the villages in the county. The
Decarie people would not carry out the
contract on the ground that the long
time paper offered by the city was not
"bankable". The matter dragged for
some weeks - with no move either by
the city or the Decarie people. About
ten days ago Council passed a reso
lution authorizing the Mayor to write
the Decarie people asking if they in
tended to fulfill their contract. A reply
was received some days ago to the
effect that the company was ready to
install the plant as soon as the proper
financial arrangements were made,
mentioning the fact that the paper of
fered was not bankable in Wilmington
or in' Minneapolis. The letter stated
that , the company had instructed its
representative, T Mr. McKee, to come
to- Wilmington at once from Iansas
City, and see if the proper financial
arrangements could be made so the
work oi, installing the' plant may be
begun at once. Mr. McKee arrived
yesterday and conferred with mem
bers of Council. No meeting of the
body , had been called yesterday to fur
ther consider the matter, but action
will probably be taken within a few
days.-
Some days ago a representative of
the iM. C. Maxwell ConiDanv.,of BrnnV.
lyn; N. Y., manufacturers of incinera-
tors, Crematories, etc., visited this cly
and conferred with several mfTr.hr
or less, impressed with the kind of in -
rinorafnr n- v.-.; "L
is different in character from that of
the Decarie incinerator, which i what
is. knovn as the water jacket incise-
laior. iesieraay Mayor Smith receiv -
ed from the M. C. Maxwell Coimany
a telegram reading: "Awaiting word
uecane contract cancelled. Will con-
struct au-ton plant for $25,000." Since
this incinerator is so much cheaper
than the, one put out by the Decarie
people it is not unlikely that Council
wm seek further information fmm
the Maxwell people concerning thir
plant.,. There are many who belief
that an incinerator of adequate size
and capacity can be purchased even
cheaper than the Maxwell people pro
pose. STR. LASSELL IN PORT.
Leaking Vessel Towed Up the River
Dy uutter Will be Repaired.
The American steamer Lassell. with
cargo of cross-ties, bound from Bruns
wick, Ga., to New York, and which
put into Southport in a leaking condi
tion and was beached Wednesday,
was pumped out yesterday bv the tn?
Castor and towed up to Wilmington by
me revenue-cutter. Seminole, Capt. G.
L. Garden, commanding.
The Lassell is nowat anchor in the
anchorage basin, but will be docked
at Mr. D. L. Gore's wharf onsJSagles
Island, where a sunicient amount of
her cargo of ties will be lightered to
permit of the necessary: repairs. The
exact nature of the leak in the steam
er has not yet been ascertained, but
it is very probai)le that a plate has
Deen lost, as at first thought, fish of
varying dimensions coming into the
hold. It is thought after the removal
of part of the cargo all the necessary
repairs can be. made here, after
the .steamer will proceed on her jom

Reports from SouthDort
afternoon were to the effect that a i
-northeast gale was sweeping the coast
ana sarpping m the danger zone was
seeking refuge. The American steam
er Lucy Neff, bound from Charleston
to New York, has put into Southport
for harbor, and the British steamer
Vizcaina, which steamed from here
Thursday .for Newport News, is an
chored off the Cape Fear bar' for har

could -be seen seeking shelter from thS
gale, to the Southward of Frying Pan.

I Mr. vioietts Talk.
I Evangelist Violett delivered a great
'germon. iast night at the Dock Street
Christian church, in which he gave
some decidedly original arguments on
the subject, "Why I Believe the Bi
ble". He shows that science has con
stantly changed while the Bible has
preceded the developments of science
and remained the same through the
centuries. His most striking statement
was the fulfillment of the prophecy
that the Jews should: be preserved to
the end of time while all the nations"
of that day that brought suffering" to
them should utterly perish He prov
ed from history the entire fulfillment
of God's 'word' as found in Jeremiah
and further showed the safety and sat
isfaction of living according to the
word of the Lord. Many were present
for the first .time and .several out-of-town
people are here to spend Sunday
and others are expected.
There will be no services tonight.
Tomorrow at 10 A. M. Mr. Violett will
take part in Sunday . School at the
Dock street church and will preach
at 11 o'clock, at which time there will
be communion. He leads the Endea

preach tomorrow night in the Bijou
