The Sammerell turnip was a White Globe." A PlOUfe FRAUD. A Host Delightful Eo'ertalnment Given tit the Benifit ct the Shelter of the Silver Croaa. ' That the citizens of Wilmington fully appreciate that great and beneficent charity,. "The Shelter of tbe Silver Cross," and honor that band of noble King's Daughters who have striven so many years and against seemingly in surmountable obstacles tor its mainte nance, was fully evinced last night by tbe unusual large gathering at the Opera House to witness tbe presentation of A Pious Fraud," as portrayed by our most talented amateurs. ,J J ; Tbe well known reputation ot each In dividual performer, the faithful and earnest work at the rehearsals, led the audience to believe that they would see something unusually good, and all left delighted with themselves for coming and more than proud . of Wilmington's dramatic talent.. It is faint; praise to tay that it was a bright, breezy play by home talent; that in stage setting, in charming costumes, in quick renditions ot witty lines, it far surpassed tbe work of manv well known professionals. "A Pious Fraud" is a three-act com edy drama, sparkling with fun and re plete with laughable situations." Mr. J as. H. Cowan as Lord Fencourt Bobber ly, "Charlie's Aunt," was s; mpl y Inimitable, and literally convulsed the audience with his ludicrous impersona tions. X- v:v v4.i; Mr. Geo. B. Elliott, as Tac Chesnev. and bis chum, Mr. Seymour Merrill, as Charlie Wyckham, were au fait as taste ful, yet ardent lovers. ; Mr. W. F. Robertson, as Sir Francis Chesney, was forceful and dramatic. M T. H. Wright, as Mr. Speltigue. and Mr. Beverly Mason, as Brassett, are worthy of more than a passing notice. ' Wben we attempt to do juttice to the strong dramatic talent and the grace and beauty displayed bv Misses Annie Blount DcRosset, Bessie Gibson, Margaret Meares and Cammie Lord, words prove out faint praise, v. " , , Mac a commendation should be award ed Miss Nellie Draper, for by far the j-most artistic stage settings that have ever adorned the Opera House. In the intermission between tbe acts the audience was charmed with exquis ite solos rendered by Mis. E. W. Hoff and Wilmington's favorite. Miss Mary L;ly Kenan, whose sweet end pathetic voices swayed the vast throng and won for both ladies hearty encores. The accompanist was Mr. E. P. Boat- wright, who is too well known to Wil mington to require further commenda tion. ' The ladies who had this project in charge are to be congratulated for the charming evening's entertainment given. ava"e - Messrs.7- L! Pinner and Tbos. S Morse, of Soutbport, came up on tbe Vamoose. . . 7 Mo WILMINGTON; N. C. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, STEAM YACHT VAM0032. Arrival of the Hew Totk Jautnal't Cuban Dlipttoh Boat-Ba Bonte to Key -West She Took on Coal end . Will Xieave Wilmlogton v Thte MornlBC The unearthly sound which pierced the ears of people yesterday and which was mistaken by some tor the bray of a donkey and by others for the bellowing of cattle, was nothing other than tbe calliope whistle of the now famous dis patch boat Vamoose.- And all roads in Wilmington yesterday led to the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad dock, where shortly before one o'clock the Vamoose landed, , It had been expected for a day or two, and that it was an ob ject of great interest in itself considered and that the people of Wilmington are specially interested In whatever has a Cuban connection, was evinced from the fact that all yesterday afternoon there was a steady stream ot people going down to see. the vessel. , . It was" a noticeable occurrence and quite a happy illustration of the pro gressive and enterprising spirit which characterizes the methods of Editor W. R. Hearst, tbat just as the Vamoose, fly ing a flag on which were the words, The New York : Journal" jjhui being made fast to the wharf, a newsboy dashed up and sang out, "Here's your New York Journal! " . The cap tain purchased, but through a mistaken World was handed him; through a mis take, tor surely the captain of a New York Journal boat would have been too well under the instructions-of the "Yel low Kid" to purchase Pulitzer's sheet. Capt. C Mcintosh is in command of the Vamoose, tie has many friends and acquaintances in the city, having been for some time the master ot the schooner Maeeie Abbott, a frequent visitor at this port. He was also in command of tbe steamer Horsa suspectedjif filibuster ing, which put into Soutbport badly damaged not very long ago. T - : Capt. Mcintosh was the most sought after man in Wilmington yesterday..' He was plied with countless qucsUons about his coat, her speed, whether she could cross tbe ocean, if she wasn't very "wet" at sea, and every other interrogation that the mind of the curious could devise. Bat, on. the whole, be preserved an even temper and showed marked courtesy to wards the numerous visitors. Readers of the New Yoilt, Journal, no doubt, remember seeing about a month ago on the first page ot that paper a cut of the. Vamoose. As was stated there, the Vamoose his been chartered by the Journal tiatplf to bring dispatches from Cuba to this country. The run between Havana and Key West can be made, all things favoring, in two hours and a half, and rarely, even under the most adverse circumstances, will the time be over four hours. The news of one day, therefore, up to eight o'clock at night can be brought to Key West and tele graphed to New York in time to appear in the Journal next morning. She is now bound from New York to Key West, having made stops at Norfolk, Hampton Roads, Ocracoke and Sou'.hport. . It cannot be stated definitely . wben she will reach Key West, as it is not known what delays may arise. She leaves Wil mington this morning, and will probably stop at Charleston. Tbe Vamoose is a double-ender, with . an 800 horse power engine. Her length is 128 feet and she measures 13 feet amidship, tbe deck being slightly nar rower. The boat belongs to a Mr. Monroe, of New York, though it was originally built in 1891 for W. R- Hearst. who now has it chartered simply. Her cruising speed is 16 knots an hour; when necessary the speed can be kept up to 20 knots an hour for twentv four hours; and, on a spurt, tbe Vamoose can make the astonishingly fast time of 23 knots, or thirty-two miles. : She made the run from Southport here in something over an hour; but there was no special cffoit to make time. The Vamoose came to Wilmington for coaL Sne took on eight tons, purchased of Messrs. J. A. Springer & Co., and loaded under direction ot Mr. D. H. Penton, of tbat firm. ' ' Capt. E. L. Hidton, who admires the; JournaTj enterprise, presented the Vamoose with a set of handsomely glided antlers, . which ; were promptly strapped to the bridge above tbe pilot house.

Perhaps the North Carolina Confer ence never beard news that bad such a thriiline effect upon it as tbe letter read by Dr. J.C Kilo Irom Mr. Washington Duke, to which be conveyed the glad news that he would give lit 0,000 to tbe endowment of Trinity College. ' The conference sang the long metre dox oloey." ; - -... Mr. Dake has already given about 1200,000 to this institution.

THE HOLIDAY TRADE. Boar Borate Throoctna; tne Store, Seeking IToTeliiei for the Chriaimaa Heaaon. Yesterday was an ideal day for shop ping It was just cold enough for the air to be bracing, and both salesmen and purchasers seemed to be in fine spirits the clerks anxious to please and . the customers ready to buy and pay for a good thing when they see it. AH kinds of goods were ia demand and there was a fair trade in all the stores; but business was liveliest in holi day goods. Many fancies were con verted into facts yesterday, and much thought spent on the selection of gifts for Christmas. It is the p'.easantest task in the world to plan surprises in tbe shape of gifts for those we love, and so here is another reason for the 'smile which almost- everybody wore jester--day. ; " There were several out of town mer chants here also, making purchases for their Christmas trade, though the first part of the week is the time when they are here in greatest numbers. - Pceket-Book round. A young man found yesterday, a pocket-book containing two checks one 00 "The Dawson Bank," dated Oct. 87, 1896, for $915. signed by Mark Hanna and payable to Tbos.
