stealing third and home in rapid suc

this frame, but the Nationals came
back again in the next for their fifth
and last tally. LaLonge singled and
took second when the ' Baltimore re
ceiver dropped a pitched fe&lfc Miller,
who batted for Moore, sacrificed La
Longe to third, who scored on a close
decision on Magee's freak Texas

The Orioles scored their lone run
in the sixth. Smith doubled after Jo
rosik was out, and went to third on
Coopers single. Smith scored when
Dodge fumbled Lord's hot one.
The Birds missed their best chance
to d some scoring, in the sevnth, get
ting v three men on bases without an
out,; but Nicholson who had replaced
Moore,, pulled -himself out of a bad
hole by fanning Jorosik and Russell.
The third out was easy.-
The gaihe as an exhibition of the
great National sport as pulled Ipff by
the big leagues was somewhat of a
disappointment, as many of the stars
did not pjjky to form. There was, of
course, nothing at stake and after the
Nationals started off with, such a rush,
in the beghming of the gamer interest
lagged. - - -
The work of some of Ihe individual
players, known personally andby repu
tation to many of the fans, was a mat
ter of great interest. All eyes were
on Frank -Cooper, the Statesville boy,
who formerly played with Trinity Col
lege and is expected to make good in
the International League. Cooper
fielded his position perfectly, made a
hit and was mixed up, in the Only run
the Baltimore team annexed.
Briscoe Lord and Houser, two for
mer stars of the Philadelphia Athlet
ics, were noticed in the line-up of the
Orioles. Paskert and Hans Lobert,
no came from Cincinnati to Phila
delphia in one, of baseball's greatest
trades, worked fully up to their rep
utations as' veterans of the game.
One fact clearly- stood out. The
Orioles are not in as good condition as
the Phillies, as they have been in train
ing only a short while and have not
yet rounded into form. This accounts
for their four errors, while the Na
tionals made but one lone miscue,
this being on a fairly hard chance.
The hits were even, each aggregation
securing five.

MARTIN O'BRIEN "THE MAN OF
THE HOUR"
As a public-spirited citizen and tax
payer and one who feels a deep inter
est and pride in our city's, welfare, its
future prosperity and progress; and
one who realizes the 'importance of
having a man at the head of our gov
ernment who is competent to rule ana
guide us through the stormy seas of
financial stress, I am convinced by
force of reason, to believe that Martin
O'Brien is "the man of the hour." He
is true to principle, broad-minded and
nroeressive. He has the courage of
his cdnvlctibhs,' and will further every
interest of our city, and like womer,
is "wise to resolve and patient to per
form." Martin O'Brien has all ot tne quan
fications necessary to perform the du
ties of Mayor. He is wise in council,
simceVe in action, and loyal at all
times. He is gracious in his man
ners with his fellowmen, and true to
his friends. With these grand traits
of. character and qualifications Wil
mfneton can doff her hat and well pro-
SaH OF THE HOUR."

THB MORNING STAB,
TODAY IS 6000 FRIDAY
A Legal Holiday, Banks Will Be Closed
and Many Business Houses Spe
cial Services at All the
Churches
Today is Good Friday, observed by
the churich as the anniversary of the
Crucifixion. It is a legal holiday and
the banks and mkHy of the business
houses will be closed. It will not be
observed at the postofflce. There will
be special services at the various
churches.
Probably nine-tenths of Christendom
will celebrate the day and it will be
very largely observed in this city. At
St. James' Episcopal church there will
be three services: Morning Prayer at
7:30 this morning; Morning Prayer
and Sermon at IT. o'clock, and Even
ing Prayer and the singing of Passion
Music by the choir at' 8 P. M.
The Passion music will be Grounod's
Gallia, one of that great religious com
poser's greatest compositions. The
words of the Gallia are taken from the
first chapter of the "Lamentations of
Jeremiah," and center around the
verse, "Is it nothing to you all ye that
pass by? Behold, and see if there is
any sorrow like unto my sorrow." The
whole theme is .the lament of the exile
over Jerusalem, in her desolation, and
is recognized as a prophecy of the
suffering of the Messiah, or the Chris
tian's Christ.
Gounod is said to have written this
composition during his own exile from
France during the revolution; and in
the sorrow-laden minor chords of this
great musical comnosition. one can
easily read .the heart-anguish of the
composer himself .as he locs across
the English Channel and realizes the
desolation of his own native land.
Such a musical service as this is a
fit ending for the one day in the year,
especially set aside for the commemo
ration of the -greatest fact in Chris
tian history. As in the other services
ef the day in the Scripture lessons,
the prayers and sermon the effort of
tbfe worshipper is to realize the mean
ing of the death of the Savior; so in
this service under the inspiration of
the great musician, the worshipper is
made to realize the depth of the sor
rqr for sin, and the mighty power of
the sacrifice for sin, displayed on the
Cross. There are no peoble, it is be
lieved, who will not be touched and
helped by such a service as this; and
it is hoped that many outside the
churches which observe the day will
avail themselves of the opportunity
here afforded them.
At St, Paul's Evangelical Lutheran
church this morning there will be the
German service and communion, at 11
o'clock, and this evening at 8 o'clock
the English service will be held. This
will mark the end of the special ser
vices in preparation for Easter. Sun-4
day a class of ten young people was
confirmed at the 11 o'clock service,
and at the evening service a class of
eight adults took the confirmation
vows. ,i;
Rt. Rev. Robert Strange; Bishop of
the East Carolina Diocese, will deliver
the sermon this morning at 11 o'clock
in St. John's Episcopal church; and
Evening Prayer will be this afternoon
at 5 o'clocfc. Last evening the Holy
Communion service was held and to
morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock the reg
ular Easter service of baptism will be
conducted by the rector, Rev. Wm. E.
Cox.
ENTERS MAYORALTY RACE
Councilman Bernice C- Moore Makes
Formal Announcement
Formal announcement was made
yesterday by Councilman Bernice C.
Moore of his candidacy for Mayor in
the approaching primary. The an
nouncement didnot occasion any sur
prise as Councilman Moore's friends
Jiad insisted for several weeks that he
would be in the raee. He was elected
a member 01 uouncii two years ao
from the First ward and has been in
charge of the Department of Public
Safety, which includes the police, firo
and health departments.' There are
now four aspirants for Mayor -ex-Mayor
William E. Springer, Council
man P. Q. Moore, ex-Alderman Martin
O'Brien and Councilman B. C. Moore.
Each candidate has a strong follow
ing and all will doubtless poll a large
vote- Two candidates for Mayor may
be voted for by each elector in the
primary. In the election one week
later each elector will vote for only
one' of the two candidates receiving
the highest vote in the primary.
New Chalmers Arrive.
The first carload of the new Chal
mers cars arrived yesterday and were
put on display at the garage of the
Pickard-Bleecker Auto Co., on Third
street, where Mr. Conway Thompson,
soecial sales - representative of the
comDany. is giving demonstrations.
They are, indeed, beauties and have at
tracted much admiration from the mo-.4
torists of the city.
MORE OUT-DOOR LIVING.
And Death Rate Will be Lowered.
Statistics prove that the daeth rate
is very much greater in the Winter
months than in Summer, and that the
lack of fresh air is largely responsi
ble for this condition.
If the system becomes rundown,
blood thin and watery, circulation
poor, no appetite, don't dose . with
drugs, but take our delicious cod liv
er and iron tonic, Vinol, not a patent
medicine, as everything in it is
named - on every package and if it
does not give you a hearty appetite,
enrich the blood and create strength,
We will return your money; that
shows our faith in Vinol.
A case .has just come to our atten
tion from Albany, N. Y., Mrs. ,H. Hart-
man says: ."I was in a run-down con
dition for about five years until this
Spring, when I learned what a good
tonic and strengthener Vinol is. Jt is
certainly the best tonic I have ever
used and it has done wonders for me."
Try a bottlesof Vinol, on our guaran
tee. Robert. R. Bellamy, Druggist,

RECOMMEND WILMINGTON
Manager Chas. S. Dooin Favorably Im
pressed With This City for Train
ing Point Royal Reception
to Visitors
"I expect to recommend to the presi
dent of the 'club that Wilmnigton be
selected as the training point next
season," said Manager Chas. S. Dooin,
of the Philadelphia baseball team of
the National League, to a group of en
thusiastic local fans in the lobby of
The Orton last night. 'The selection
of the training point Will be made by
the president of the club," continued
Mr. Dooin, "and I shall strongly urgei
4-.V.r. nliWtnir'tnn .V0 ohlion "
The statement of Manager Dooin
will be received with the greatest in
terest and pleasure by the local fans
and it is generally hoped that the rec
ommendation of the manager of the
team will be favorably acted upon by
the president of the club. The local
fans have already located a site for
the baseball diamond and Manager
Dooin, in course of an auto ride over
the city and suburbs yesterday morn
ing, was shown the ground that has
been picked out. He was very much
pleased with the site offered. The lo
cal fans feel encouraged to believe
that the Phillies 'will do their Spring
training in Wilmington next season.
The Philadelphia National League
and the Baltimore Oriole teams, which
played a game at League Par'i yester
day afternoon, arrived ,in the city at
10:15 o clock yesterday morning from
Fayetteville, accompanied by Mr. John
W. Blomme, an enthusiastic local fan,
who met the baseball players at Mon
tague. At the union station to greet
the players upon their ; arrival were
Mayor Joseph D. Smith,. the entertain
ment committee from the Chamber of
Commerce, composed of. Col. John
VanB. Metts, and Messrs. W. D. Mac
Millan, Jr., Joseph W. Yates, and a
committee from the local lodge of
Elks, composed of Messrs. P. W. Wells,
W. B. Schuler, Thos. E. ' Wallace, C.
C. Loughlin, H. E. Longley, James
Owen Reilly, J. F. Leitner and Dr.
Thos. B. Carroll. The baseball play
ers and the newspaper men " accom
panying them were introduced to the
local party by Mr. - Blomme. There
were in waiting about 20 automobiles
to take the visitors and the members
of the reception committee for a ride
over the city and through several su
burbs. In the first automobile were
Mayor Smith, Managed Chas. S. Dooin,
of the Philadelphia team; Manager
Weeks, ot the Baltimore team, and
Mr. Blomme. The' visitors were taken
to The Orton, where they left their
baggage and then returned to the au
tomobiles and went to Greenfield and
Sunset parks. At Sunset Park the par
ty got out of the cars and had a group
photograph' taken. Leaving Sunset
Park the party returned to the city
and then went through Carolina
Heights and Carolina Place. Return
ing to tne city tlrey stopped at the
Elks' Temple, pnNorth Front street,
where the Elks- ;held open house in
honor of the Visitors.
Last night the Visitors, were royally
entertained at an Old-fashioned North
Carolina barbecue' at the EK?s' Tern
pie. the Elks being the host of the
delightful affair. The Elks were high
ly praised not only by the visitors but
by local fans not members of the order
for the elaborate entertainment pro
vided for the evening. The Elks never
do things by halves and last night was
no exception. Long will the visitors
and all others present remember the
event. Following .the bountiful feast
for the inner man there was a feast
of oratory.
The first speech of the evening was
made by Mayor Joseph D Smith, who
bade the visitors a most cordial wel
come to Wilmington and expressed the
hope that they would return here again
next, season.
Manager Chas. S. Dooin, of the Phil
lies, said in course of a most, enjoyable
short speech, that he had been with
the Philadelphia team for the past ten
years, during which time a number of
places had been visited in the Spring
of the year for practice games, but
nowhere was- the reception so cordial
as in Wilmington, r He declared him
self as being most favorably impress
ed wilth this city and said that he
would always remember this visit to
Wilmington..
Short talks were also made by Mr.
Geo. M. Young, of the Public Ledger,
Philadelphia; Councilmen P. Q. Moore
and W E. Perdaw and others. The
evening was enlivened by several
songs given by Mr. Dooin and they
were greatly enjoyed.
The teams leave on the Seaboard
train this morning for Southern Pines,
where they will play this afternoon.
The teams were brought to Wilming
ton through the efforts of Messrs. Bert
Kite, the well known ball player, and
Mr. John W. Blomme, who is one of
the most enthusiastic fans in the
State. They have been trying for sev
eral years to get the Phillies interest
ed hi Wilmington as-a desirable 'place
for Spring practice and they are much
elated over the fact that their efforts
are about to be crowned with success.
As an evidence of the ; advertising
that Wilmington will get from having
the Phillies hold their Spring practice
here, is th fact that about 15.000
words were" sent by telegraph last
night to -Northern papers about the
game played here. .All the specials
contained boosts for Wilmington.
The Western Union Telegraph Co.,
strung a lodp to League Park .so as
to give a direct wire 'to the evening
papers in Philadelphia and Baltimore.
The game ip detail was sent from the
ball parfe.
The visiting newspaper men here
were: Mr. H. Perry Lewis, of The
Evenine Times; Mr. George M. Young,
of the Public Ledger; Mr. M. G

Meeting Today of Creditors of Ameri

The following from Wednesday's
Savannah Morning News relative to
the suspension of business of the
American Naval Stores Company will
be of interest in this city where the
company has a branch :
"Until the meeting of the creditora
of the American Naval Stores Com
pany in Savannah Friday, there will
be no developments in the situation
created by the suspension of the com
pany. "The suspension has not seriously
affected the naval stores market for
the reason that the market has been
practically inactive for several days. It
is near the close of the season and
there is very little doing in the trade.
"With the coming to Savannah of
some of the country's big financiers
or their personal representatives the
last of this week things will begin to
happen. It is generally believed that
Eome plan will be devised for finanie-
ing the liquidation of the business.
"This is conceded to be the only rea
sonable course to pursue. The com
pany has vast amounts of naval stores
on hand. If theste assets are properly
