' One of the features olf the ap proaching semi centennial celebra tion of the founding of the city of Milwaukee, Wis., will be " some hanging x gardens."

The reason given for the discontinuation of the' Boston line is that there was not , enough busi ness here to Justify 'It; The Star hears of this change with regret, and hopes "that the Chamber of Commerce will take the matter in hand and, if the line Is really desirable, enter into negotiations afresh looking to the securing of a permanent line of steamers. The STAR is Inclined to think the ex periment was not given sufficient time to test the question ot success; but it is evident that the Clyde management think otherwise. Ta Bepsiv the Now Xalet Dim.

WILMINGTON, N. C., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, THE CANNON CRACKER. The Ordinance Conoernlnc Tbe Crackers end Othar . Pire-Wotke OerUln TPeys Xxoapted from Its Provisions. At the dealers la fire-works, and the American small boy as well, are much exercised ever tbe proclamation pub lished by the .Mayor prohibiting tbe firing of "cannon-crackers " the Star prints below the ordinance in reference to this matter. Section 8. Article Twelve (from the compilation of city ordinances made by Messrs. E. S. Martin and T. W. Strange in 1894), says : l "Every person wbo shall fire any can- -non, gun, pistol or other fire-arms, or any canton crackers or other fire-works in any street or alley, or upon any wharf, or in any private or public lot, or any where within the corporate, limits of tbe city of Wilmington, except opon a mili tary parade, or by ' permission of tbe Mayor or Chief of Police, shall be fined $10 for each and every offence. Pro v.ded. that this prohibition shall not ex tend to the firing of Canton-crackers and fire-works between tbe 24th day of De cember and the 1st day of January, in each year; and on the 4ih of July, except west ot .Front street," u - While the Star makes no issue with the city authorities as to the propriety of suppressing the cannon-cracker, it does not hesitate to express the opinion that, unless the foregoing ordinance has been amended since 1891, the Mayor hasi no authority to prohibit the firing of cannon crackers except in that part of tbe city West ot Front street, between December 24th and January 1st. The ordinance says plainly, in the last sen tence of Section 8: "Provided that this prohibition shall not extend to the firing of canton-crackers and fire -wot ks be tween the 24th day of December and the 1st day of January, and on tbe 4th day of July, except west of Front street. Now, if it is conceded, and it must be, that cannon-crackers were intended to be included in-either of the terms "canton-crackers" or "other fireworks." it seems clear that the proclamation of the Mayor alone cannot remedy the evil complained oL ". A Blieht Token of Appreciation. . Last evening a committee of gentle men, representing Grace Fifth Street, and Biaden Street M E. churches, called at the residence of Rev. W. S. Rone, who in a few days will leave for a new field of labor. Mr. Rone was out taking tea, but the business which brought the committee there was of such a na ture that it .was thought .: both advisable and justifiable to dispatch a messenger after him. When he arrived. Mr. W. M. Poisson, in be half of a number of Mr. Rone's friends presented, with a few feeling remarks, the worthy gentleman with a travelling companion as a slight token of their ap preciation of his labors and of their esteem and friendship for bint person ally. , Mr. : Rone accepted tbe gift in words of tenderness andratitudeMr; J f . S. Furchess, of Fifth Street Church, Mr. Reubett Grant, of Bladen- Street Church, and Mr. George G. Lewis, of Grace Church, followed in the order named with words of approbation and esteem. : DrnntmeiV Bat qui at iftney Woods Inn. Another good time is promised at he popular Winter resort, Piney Woods Inn. The date is January 12th. when Mr. Charles St, John, manager of tbe Piney Woods Ian, is going to give a banquet complimentary to tbe commer cial travellers of the Southern States.

And the surroundings and entertainment will be such as to please the most exacting.

A special rate ot "one fare for the round trip has been given by tbe Sea board Air Line. - . - : C - Senttor-Bileot Bhtw Tlka. A Star representative had a conver sation a few days since with Mr. Angus Shaw, one of the Senators elect from Robeson and Columbus counties.' and a prominent Populist leader. On three propositions he was distinct and posi tive in his utterances as to the course he would pursue as a member of the Legis lature. ; Fust, he is uncompromising in hit opposition to the election ot Senator Pritchard or any other McKinley cold standard man to the United States Senate. Second, he will do all in his power to annul the lease of the North Carolina Railroad to the Southern Rail way Company. Third, he will oppose with all his energy any attempt to de prive tbe University of the State appro-, priation. Entertainment at BEasonboro Pablio Hotaool. A public school entertainment, with a programme of twenty-six pieces, was given last Thursday ' night in the Bap tist Church at Masonboro. All the scholars participating did credit to themselves and to their teachers, Miss Ethel Herring, of Pender county," and Miss L!zz!e McMillan, of Wilmington. A "Fan Drill," given by twenty young ladies, was one of the many good feat ares, and "Recompense," represented bv Miss Bertha Farrow, Mist Jessie Hew lett and Mr. Ada Hewlett elicited much favorable comment. Special mention ought to be made also of Misses Bertha Walton. Lzzie Cost in, Hattie Hewlett, Lzzie Beasley, Effle Montford and Clara McGowan. Exports Foreign.

The Woodward-Warren Company Flay in a to Crood Homci-WUl Qive Matinee and rati at Perfornunoe T The Wood ward-Warren gave their fourth performanceSat the Opera Houss last night, the "Quack Doctor" being the bill. Full of comedy and pleasing specialties, the play suc ceeded in winning the plaudits of tbe audience. Each member of the east well played their respective roles. Mr. Woodward, as Ignatius Tattleion. kept the comedy woik lull v alive, and Miss Warren as Tabitha Hicks, also caused much laughter, Tbe company's engage ment so far has been a most suc cessful one from an artistic stand-point. Mr. Woodward and Miss Warren's company of supporting players are far above the average repertoire acton and actresses, and playing as they do at 10. 20 and 80 cents, they should, be greeted By large crowds at every performance. . ' A Christmas matinee will be given this afternoon, at which performance tbe comedy-drama, "The Great Diamond Ms'.ery," which was performed Monday night, will be the bill. To-night the society comedv. "The O d, O d Story," will be presented. To morrow afternoon "Tbe Girl I Love." and to-morrow night the farewell per formance, "A Practical Joke."
