Smith & Gilchrist, A. J. Marshall, D. L.. Gore and W. L. DeRosset, Jr. t Eugene Martin, Eiq of the Charter Committee, stated that the legislative committee had drafted an amendment to the Chamber's charter, striking out the words "thirty years" and substituting tbe word "perpetual,"-and also giving the Chamber the right to issue bonds. He also said that the act as yet had not been received, but when it was it only remained for the Chamber to accept it. Oa motion, the ' secretary was in structed to write to the Secretary of State and obtain a certified copy of the act. '! - ' j '. President Chadbourn stated that the committee appointed to publish a book setting forth the advantages of -Wilmington had collected all the necessary data, and it now only awaited to be printed; that the County Commissioners had offered to appropriate $320 .for tbe printing of the- books, provided the Chamber would ask for it. He also stated that the cost of printing the book would be between $320 and $400. On motion of Mr. W. E. Worth, it was ordered that the Board of County Commisiioners be asked to appropriate $320, - Mr. H. K. N.ash said that he had been informed .by Capt.

Mr. Nash then suggested the appointment of a? com mittee to look into the matter, i On motion the chair was instructed to appoint such a committtee. -1 Mr. C. M. Whit lock said that hi had recently talked with Mr. E. M. Weils, of the Carolina Cooperage Company who had spent some time in Alabama and Mississippi, and he said tbat he didn't see why Wilmington shouldn't get ex port business from Alabama, Mississippi, ''Tennessee and Arkansas. Mr. Whit- lock farther stated that he thought it would be a good plan to appoint a com mittee to look into the matter. On motion, it was referred to the Transportation Committee, Messrs. Chas. E. Borden, Chas. Worth and E. S. Tennent. Mr. T. D. Meares stated that he bad received a letter from Mr. Jno. T. Patrick, chief industrial agent of the S. A. L , asking for the hotel rates in Wil mington, with a view to having the meeting ot his sub -agents, between seventy-five and a hundred men, fn this city. Mr. Meares said he thought it would be a good plan to ask them to meet here and extend to them the use ot tbe Chamber's rooms. Oa motion of Mr. Frank Huggins the secretary was instructed to write a letter to Mr. Patrick, extending to him and his agents an invitation to meet in Wil mington and the use of the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. W. S. Willard stated that at a meeting of the local underwriters of the city, a committee had been appointed to see the Chamber of Commerce and as certain if they could not start some movement towards the repairing of the' fire alarm system, the investigation of incendiary fires and stop the erection of wooden buildings within the fire limits! that Wilmington was classed in insur ance circles as a first class city, but there were now a number of special insurance agents in tbe city, and if conditions did not change, or efforts made to change them, the rate of insurance would be advanced. Mr. Iredell Meares said tbe matter was one the people of Wilmington took the most earnest interest in, and he would move that a committee of five be appointed by the president, at his leisure, to take the matter into consid eration aqd see what ought to ; be done. k: , : There then, ensued some discussion in regard to the water works, andi sti ment was made by the superintendent of the fire alarm system. . Mr. Willard said the three things that ought to be considered were the fire alarm system, the erection of frame houses inside vthe fire limits and the Incendiaryfires. ' Mr. Wm. Calder said that the city had spent a great deal of money on the fire alarm system, and did everything the superintendent asked for; that an ap propriation bad never been dented. Mr. W. E. Springer said if the super intendent had ever made any demands for supplies that had not been granted, he didn't know it. , " Col. Taylor said that they wanted to show 'to the Tariff Association ; that efforts were being made to Investigate the trouble. Mr. P. B. Manning said be didn't think Mr. Iredell Meares' motion was quite definite enough; that the committee should be instructed. President Chadbonrn said he would suggest that they leave out the question ol water works. Mr. I. H. Boatwright said he thought tbe water works system a good one, and that he had heard several insurance men compliment the fire companies on their handling of the fire in Messrs. Polvogt & Co.'s store. . . . Mr. Iredell Meares said he thought it would be a good plan to offer a reward for the arrest and conviction of fire bugs. Col. Jno. L. Cantwell explained the working of the water works system in case of fire. After further discussion by Messrs, RNING DeWitt C Love, C. M. Whltlock and Frank Hoggins, the motion of Mr. Ire dell Meares was carried. - Col. Walker Taylor moved that the ex-Presidents of the Chamber now liv ing. CoL W. L. DeRosset, Dr. W. W. Harriss. Mr. D.

A Interestlng . . Paper Bead Name beleoted for the Association. . The following is the gist of the admir able paper read yesterday afternoon in the Y. M. C. A. parlors by 'Mrs. H. V. Burkaeimer, setting forth the aims of the Woman's Hospital ward movement: To the Ladies and Board of Regents: We have assembled this ntternoon to consult with tbe citizens and Board of Regents of the City Hospital as to the advisability of organizing a society for the purpose of working in behalf of a woman's ward in connection with the City Hospital and under the supervision of the Board of Regents. I' will explain bere that the Ladies' Benevolent Society is in no wise con nected with this new project, but this is to be a distinct society, tor the purpose of carrying on tbe work identical with that which the Ladies' Benevolent So ciety so successfully did at their "Dis pensary and Rest" for invalid, women. The present City Hospital, as it is, does not give us scope in' which to suc ceed in benefitting a vast number of worthy women who need treatment, therefore, we ask for the co opeiation of the ladies and citizens generally. When the Ladies Benevolent Society aban doned the "Dispensary and Rest" there was a fund of nearly $1,000 pledged by private individuals to erect a "Woman's Hospital" on their property grounds, and when the work was laid aside the fund was returned. It was decided to ask the Board of Regents of tbe City Hospital if they would accept our work in building a ward should we organize as a society, stating that there was a fund of nearly $1,000 given tbe Ladies' Benevolent Society, which, if the parties would transfer it to the City Hospital wo man's ward project, would be placed as a nucleus or trust fund in the Savings Bank at 4 per cent. Efforts would then - be made to increase tbe fund. We will not organiz; as - "King's Daughters, therelore we trust any of our Jewish friends who wish to unite with us will do so. We are simply a band of women, banded together to help other affl cted worthy women, for the ultimate good of the community realizing that we must possess sound bodies it we hope for clear minds and orrect morals. After the reading of this paper and after Mrs. Sharrer was elected chairman there was a general discussion, in which some o! the ladies, together with Dr, Bellamy, Dr. Thomas and Dr. Shepard, took part. The physicians expressed themselves as being highly gratified at the praiseworthy purpose of the meeting. There was a slight difference of opin ion as to whether tbe ward in coqtem plation should be a maternity ward or for the treatment of diseases peculiar to women. The latter sentiment prevailed. A communication was read from the "Hospital Circle of King's Daughters' expressing regret at the inability of the Circle to co-operate in the new move ment. This step was taken not because the "Hospital Circle" was not intensely interested in the good work, but because it already has work along the same line, and that work, being memorial in its nature,cannot be abandoned. It was decided that the nime of tbe association should be the "Womanrs Hospital Guild." . The meeting adjourned at 6 ocloc't to meet Monday afternoon at 4.30.
