would, no doubt, be able to make a full
report at the next meeting.
President Chadbonrn stated that the
express charges on tbe boo ts recently
issued, setting forth Wilmington's
various advantages, from ' New York to
this city were very large, but Mr. W. J
Crosswell, superintendent of the Atlan
tic division of tbe Southern Express
Company, had kindly had the express

on tbe Southern Express Company's
line refunded. A letter to that effect
from Mr. Crosswell was read, and tbe

one hundred dollars stock each.

Worth further stated that there was no
Concert of action la Wilmington, which
could soon be a city ot 103,003 inhaoi
taats. or more, if tbe people would oal
try and have it so. instead of continually
running tbe citv down; that Wilmington
had more natural advantages, wbich
however, were not taken advantage of
man either oavannab, Charleston or
Richmond. He also said tbatwhenevt
a stranger came to tbe city there was
some one who would always meet him
and cry Wilmington down, and there
was also a class of psople who though
to succeed was a crime.

D. Meares. H. G. Smallooaes. Mircui
Jacobi and otnera heartily endorted Mr,
Wortb's remarks and apoke eaihuiiasti
cally along the same line.

A WORTHY CHARITY.
Shelter ot the Bilrer Or oaa Opscad to
the Season Under Aotpiee of ihe
Ktna'e Dtogbtart Servieea Con
duoted by Bar. W. B. Oitver. ,
The Shelter of the Silver Cross was
formally opened yesterday afternoon.
This institution, under the auspices of
the Ministering Circle of King's
Daughters, is in an unostentatious way
doing as much , for the comfort and. wel
fare of the poor and feeble as any other
agency in the communityaod' should
receive more hearty and general consid
eration and support. Last year three
hundred or more persons ware given a
restful week by the seashore, where their
physical natures were refreshed, their
mental powers revived, and their moral
force strengthened a season of recuper
ation and enjoyment which was in no
other way possible for them. And yes
terday afternoon thirty guests of the
Shelter were made to feel themselves at
home in tbe neat rooms, cool halls and
breeze-swept verandas, among whom
were gray-haired men, feeble women
tottering amid the shadows of life's
evening, yonag mothers with sickly
babes, and pale-faced children. A look
into their faces, radiant with anticipa
tion, beaming with grateful joy, does
one's soul good, and makes the visitor
join in their prayer for God's blessing
upon tbe noble women who have brought
about such happiness by their service
"in His name."
The attendance of visitors upon tbe
opening services was not so large as
usual. Posiibiv the excessive heat
caused some to stay away. But there
were qaite a number of ladies preset! tf
mostly members of the order.
The services were very simple. "Take
tbe Name of Jesus" was sung and Rev.
W. B. Oliver, pastor cf the First( Bap
tist church offered prayer, closing with
the Lord's prayer, in which all joined.
Then "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." was
sung. Mr. Oliver read a ptrt of the 15th
chapter of John's Gospel and spoke for a
few minutes on "Service, the highest at
tainment." as exemplified in tbe Christ
and enjoined upon His disciples. The
exercises closed with another praver.
The cottagers on the beach have clone
a handsome thing in raising $125.00 to
put in sewerage and necessary fixtures
for the Shelter. This kindness is most
highly appreciated by every friend of the
institution and will add materially to its
success.
There Is an opportunity just now for
other friends to do a nice deed, and we
trust a hint will be sufficient. After
faithful labors and untiring efforts, the
Circle yet needs $100 to meet all ex
penses of tbe season. Who will step
forward with cash, groceries or other
substantial evidence of interest ? Ms.
Charles King, the president, or Mrs. C.
O. Byerly, secretary, will be glad to give
information and to acknowledge con
tributions. The Star bids the Circle God speed,
and wishes for the Circle years of suc
cessful benefaction.
Colored Qirl Mtaains.
The police have been notified to keep
a sharp lookout for Lzzie En net t, a

terday morning she accompanied her

Her grandmother left her at a house on
Grace street, between Fourth and Fifth,
with instructions to join her at the mar
ket. Lizzie started for the market be
tween 10 and 11 o'clock, and has not

dress and dark felt bst the rim of which
is torn nearly off.

The pardon would not be granted but
for the high character of citiz:ns who

by ex Chief Jus-Jce Shipaerd who pre

Hon. V.mil P. Kiloe. the recognised
leader of the gold Democrats who
bolted tbe nomination df Bryan lsst
year and voted for McKinley, announces
that he wi.i not co operate with tbe Re- .
publicans tbis year, but tbat be prefers
to vote for a silver candidate for Gov
ernor and other State offices. Mr.
Kilne tavs bis reason for this is tbe ot
ter indifference of tbe McKioley admin
istration to the issues upon which tbe
St Louis ticket was elected. Instead of
doing something to relieve tbe financial
condition of tbe country, declares Mr.
Kilne, the administration has slapped
the face of its allies of last year by en
couraging the most offensive legislation.
Mr. Kline is tbe most icfluenrial of
tbe Ohio gold Democrats and be on
doubiediy it fleets tbe opinions ot nine
tentbs of those wbo co-operated with
bim last yen'. The only notable excep
tion is tx-CoDfresamsn Ooibwaite, who
favors straight gold S:ate snd Legisla

tbis direction, however, is suspected of
being io tbe interest of Mr. Haona's
candidacy. Through the coartesv oltbo
McKinley administration Mr. Outhwaita

which he was appointed by Mr. Cleve
land after his defeat (or Congress. Mr.
Oath wane is without any iollowiog
worth speaking of. This defection on
the part ol tbe gold Democrats i quite
alarming to Mr. Hanna's friends. . i their

AT. Y..Herald. June jotA
The bicycle pool is brcken after years
ol high' price, tbe ironclad agreement
between the big manufacturers bas gone
to smash, and with it tbe prices of the
high clais wheeis have slumped.
Colonel Albert A. Pope, of tbe Pope
Manufacturing Company, yesterday an
nounced that tbe price of the Columbia,
'97, bas bseo reduced to $75. This was
supiemented by tbe announcement by
tbe John P. Lovell Arms Company that
tbe Lovell Diamond had been put down
to fee 5.
Tne announcement of these cuts fell
like, a bomb on tbe smaller bicvele firms
those tbat sell 50 and 855, wheels.
To them it prbaoiy means a struggle
for existence, in woicb they have only a
slight chance to come out victorious.
One of the largest manufacturers said
yesterday :
"It means that Colonel Pope is tired
of tbe tact ci of the s:dI1 dealers aad
makers meo tbat list their wheels al a
fair figure and tben'Uke whatever price
is oil t red, provided it leaves any margin
of profit, however small. I think the
price will be still further lowered if such '
a ourji shall be found neceassrv to
drive tbe small men outSof business."
Mr. N.C. Overman said: "We shall
not lower tbe price of our wheel, no mat
ter what other concerns decide , to do;
but I feel sure there, is going to be some
stiff competition, among tbe small fry." ,
Others said prsctically that a big bi
cycle rate war is on, and that the public
will get some cheap wheels this Sum

two large firms are left, it may be differ
