He will furnish an evening of splendid entertainment for all. , The Play Last Night. Despite the idealism that runs throughout its construction Charles Rann Kennedy's "The Servant in the House," when presented as ably as it was last night, drives home a message to every class and every creed. Found ed on and around English customs and English standards of class and religi- ion, its principal threads neverthe less find their parallel in the church and social life of this, or any other country, and the sermon it preaches so ponerfully is as applicable here as in England or elsewhere. While the company presenting the play is one - that is exceptionally strong, the cast is dominated by Wil liam Owen, in the role of Robert Smith, the drain man. His portrayal of the blind groping of a fallen soul upward and toward the light; of the love of an unworthy father for a daughter gently reared and in ignor ance of his relation to her, a love that is ready to sacrifice itself rather than tear down her ideals, is nothing short of masterly. William Lindquist, as Manson, "The Servant in the House," a character sym bolical of the spirit of righteousness and universal love of man for man, measures well up to the standard set V... AT- r. . -hi. uwen. -Margaret Ulrich, as Mary, daughter of Robert Smith, handles a difficult Part exceedingly well and presents a onvincing portrayal of child-like in nocence and perfect faith and trust. J- W. McConnell, as the Bishop of Lancashire, whose code permits him to appropriate money contributed for church work, but forbids his eating with a working man, is also a very capable actor, and rings true In a number of difficult situations. Robert Stevens, as the Vicar, and rah Wiii- v,: .n cio 1110 11c, ai u cii thosen for their parts,' and Earl Mc "th. the page boy, holds his part of 'if play up to the standard set by the otners.

Wilmington's street cars city and suburban in the future will "be a cream white color, the Tidewater Power Company having decided upon this shade after an investigation extending over America and Europe. The shade is to be almost an exact duplicate of that used on the tram cars of The Hague, Holland. Three new steel cars for the city ser vice are now being built for the Tide w.a.terJy J- G. Brill & Co., of Philadel phia, Pa., and are expected to be ship- fi? J?y May 10th- These cars will be the first of the new color to be put in service here, but the others on the city and suburban lines will soon be paint ed to correspond with the new cars, the materials having already been or dered. The Tidewater Power Company has been looking about for some time for a new color for their cars, and extended investigations have been made. Mr. Frank Mead, formerly a noted artist and landscape architect of California, and now associated with the Tidewater and its allied interests, when in Europe several months ago, securing Belgian colonists for the Colonies of the Caro lina Trucking & Development Com pany, made his headquarters for the greater part of the time at The Hague, Holland, and it was here that he found what seemed to him to be the ideal color for street Tailway cars. -.He made investigations, secured the names of the manufacturers of the varnish and paints used and studied the Dutch method of applying these colors. On his return to Wilmington he took the matter up with the officials of the Tidewater and upon his recommenda tion they have adopted the cream or white shade for the cars here. It is planned by the Tidewater to make some experiments with the idea of determining the relative merits of the American-made and the foreign varnishes and paints and the methods of applying same. An order, therefore, has been placed with P. G. Houbolt & Co., Haarlem, Holland, and Varosselau & Co., Alphen ad Ryn, Holland, manufacturers, of the varnishes used on The Hague tram cars, for sufficient material for three of the cars used on the suburban line to Wrightsville Beach. This material will be put on in accordance with the Dutch method. Other cars on the city and suburban lines will be painted with American manufactured paints, of a similar shade, but applied in accordance with the American methods. Wilmington will probably be the first city in the United States to have street cars of this shade that has proved so popular in the foreign centers. " PUBLIC MEETING OF DAUGHTERS OF LIBERTY Mayor Moore Made Address of Welcome Last Night. ' Response by National Councilor Albert L. Bradley, of Richmond, Va. State Convention Will Close This ' Afternoon. BERRIES TO MOVE THIS WEEK Crop in Chadbourn Section Reported to be Good Report on Carload : Shipments in 1914. MRS. G. H. WEST DEAD. Sister of Mrs. II. McL. Green Died In . Newton Yesterday. Mrs. Alice M. West, wife of Dr. G.. H. West, of Newton, died at her home at that place yesterday morning, news of the death having been received here in a telegram to Mrs. H. McL. Green, sis ter of Mrs. West. Following a busy day in which much business was transacted, the State Council of the Daughters of Liberty, which is holding its 12th annual con vention in this city, held a public meeJ ing in the Odd Fellows' building last night which was attended by more than 2,00 people.. Mayor Moore in an elo quent address welcomed the visitors to the city and assured them of his appreciation of the principles of the order which is doing such a great work in establishing the doctrine of patriotism and respect for the Bible and its truths in the minds and hearts of the people. There are more than 100 visiting delegates in attendance. The first ses sion of the convention was held yes terday morning at 10 o'clock. After the afternoon session, the visitors were given a delightful trip down the Cape Fear river by Capt. J. W. Harper on the steamer Wilmington. After so many years of . experience coupled with a spirit of hospitality, for which the Cape Fear section is famous, Captain Harper is able to make his guests on any occasion feel at home and this he did .yesterday in a most pleasant way. The convention will close this after noon. Officers will be elected and the next place of meeting selected at the morning session today. Following the public meeting last night the members of the order went to the Junior Hall on South Front street where a banquet was served. This was a most enjoyable occasion. The response to the cordial welcome extended by Mayor Moore last night j was made by National Councilor Al .bert L. Bradley, of Richmond, Va., who thanked the Mayor for his cordial greeting and assured him that the vis itors heartily reciprocated the kind sentiments expressed. He said that the Daughters of Liberty is an organi zation of great strength and has al- I ready made itself felt in National af fairs. State Councilor J. T. May, of Dur ham, in his address told something of the splendid advantages of the good old State of North Carolina. He spoke of the splendid progress that has been made in the last few years and declar ed that the Daughters of Liberty is doing much to help in the develop ment of the State along all lines. Past State Councilor J. N. Maxwell, of Salisbury, modestly refrained from making an extended address and after a short talk introduced Mrs. C. H. Trexler, of Salisbury, who made an earnest appeal to the mothers to go home and endeavor to bring up their Mrs. West was a natfve of WOroing- song so that -they will become good ton, grew up in this city and married citizens.

It is expected that several car lots of strawberries will move from the Chadbourn section tomorrow or Fri day. There was rain in the Chadbourn section last week and the condition of the crop is reported to be good. Rain is needed and the growers hope to have a season this week. It is believed that the yield, if it rains within the next few days, will be nearly normal. Last year there , were about 900 cars shipped from this section. Of interest' in this connection is a bulletin which was recently issued by the Department of Agriculture at Washington in which is given the re sults of an extensive investigation made last spring by the office of mar kets and rural organization. Letters were sent to station agents at all the points listed in the trade papers as shipping strawberries in full carloads, and to every co-operative association handling the crop asking for a record of the car-lot shipments for 1914 and an estimate of the shipments to be made in 1915. At the same time an ef fort was undertaken to build up a cor respondents' list of persons directly in terested in the commercial strawberry crop from whom reliable information on every phase of strawberry market ing could be obtained. As soon as the shipping season of 1914 was ended the inquiry was renewed and has been fol lowed up, until this office now has defi nite reports on the shipments during 1914 from 466 shipping stations at which strawberries originate in car lots and a statement from the trans portation or shipping agencies as to the number of carloads shipped from each. The bulletin says: "A superficial study of the map and the tabulation might lead to an erron eous conclusion as to the' relative mag nitude of the strawberry industry in Northern and Southern States. It must be remembered that great quantities of berries are grown in the North in small patches and are shipped to mar ket by trolley, by express, and by less than carload freight, while a great many go directly to the consuming cen ters in the producers' wagons: Com paratively few of these shipments, however, are concentrated into car loads and shipped over long distances except from the northern districts on the Pacific coast. "The chart indicates that the eight most important commercial strawber ry districts in 1914 were as follows, ranked according to carload shipments: Tennessee 1,571.5 cars; Maryland, 1, Central California 1,905 cars; Ten nessee 1,571.5 cars; Maryland 1, 569.3 cars: Delaware, 1,374 cars; South ern Louisiana 1,243 cars; North and South Carolina, 967.3 cars; Virginia, 779 cars; Ozark region, 748 cars. "With respect to the Northern cities east of the Mississippi river, it may be said in general that when they are depending on Northern berries, each is to a large extent supplied by its own territory. The car-lot movement is light, and the marketing problem wholly different from that which con fronts the shipper in the Carolinas or south of the Ohio river. This is one reason why the industry in the South has developed to such large propor tions within very limited areas." Shipments from North Carolina April 15 to June 1: Mt. Tabor, 152; Mt. Olive, 145; Chadbourn 133; Rose Hill 95; Tea cheys 66; Clarendon 36; Vineland 31; Wallace 28; Rocky Point 20; Abbotts burg 18; Bladenboro 17; Burgaw 17; Faison 16; Willard 10; Cerro Gordo 9; Wards Cut 7; Ashton 6; Elrod 6; Cur rie 5; Montague 5; Watha 3; Magnolia 2; Sanford 2; St. Helena 2; Warsaw 2; Atkinson 1.5; Dudley 1.5; Bowdins 1; Calypso 1; Clinton .5; Kittrell .4.
