LADIES' BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.
Annual Minting Bepsrt of tbe Treasurer
and President Submitted Election
ot Offlosrs.
Tbe annual meeting of the Ladies
Benevolent Society was called in the
Y. M. C A. building, Tuesday afternoon
at 4 o'clock. The devotional exercises
were conducted by the Rev. R. A.
Willis.
The report of the President, Mrs.
Roger Moore, was very interesting. It
recommended the appointment of a per
manent matron whenever tbe Society
could afford it. While giving due
credit to all wbo had assisted In any
way in furthering the work of the
organization, special mention was
made of Mrs. Dudley Bnrkheimer for
very faithful work performed. Dis
claiming any spirit of censoriouineis or
fault-findln?, the Presideat in her report
reluctantly called attention to the utter
indifference of the membership (with
but few exceptions) to tbe work of keep
ing up the Home. A change in the sys
tern of management was recommended
aa being imperative and one suggested
tbat seemed to have many points of ad
vantage over tbe one now employed.
Tbe report contained a grateful refer
ence to the young men wbo helped in
the expenses ot tbe Home by baseball
games last Summer. It closed with tbe
earneat hope that tbe membership will
feel in tbe future tbat personal service
and interest is as much needed at the
payment of the dues, and that tbey will
be willing to aid in the support of the
Home.
The report of the Treasurer, Mrs. W.
R. French, showed the total receipts for
the year to have been $535 93. and tbe
dwhuissments to have been $503 21. It
staled tbat $100 bad been paid in bv
the Epwortb League of Grace M. E.
Church for a life membership for one
Inmate of tbe Home.
The following officers were re-elected:
President. Mrs Roger Moore; Vice
President, Mrs. Phil. Peariall; Secretary,
Mrs. A. M. Waddell; Treasurer, Mrs. W.
R. French.

Arthur White, tbe negro boy arrested
bv Deputy Sheriff Guion, colored, Mon
day afternoon, charged with robbing tbe

caison's store on tbe 27th of last month,
was arraigned for trial before Justice
Fowler yetterday morning and commit
ted to jail in default of $100 bond for his
appearance at tbe next term of the
Criminal Court.
What led to tbe arrest of Wbite was
that he was seen several days after the
robbery witb a large sum of money; but
wben arretted- and searched no money
was found. Yesterday Deputy Guion
made another search of the bov's person,
and found secreted in a patch on tbe
boy's pants $50 in bills, and in another
patcb a $10 bill.
Upon trial White confessed to rob-
biog the safe, and stated that he kept

WATER WORKS COMPANY.
An Altsesther New Anearfaa Wall lo be
Sank by ihe Oontraotore.
Tbe artesian well which the Claredon
Water Works Company wbich have
contracted for witb Messrs. Thompson
A Storey, and preparations for the
drilling of which are fast going on at
Hilton, tbe company's station, will
not be a continuance of the
old artesian well, wbich reached
a depth of five huodred feet,
as intimated, but will be a new one. out-and-out.
Tbe reason for this change
is that it is feared that the drive pipe of
tbe old well it not la perfect condition,
whlcb would prove a loss of time, labor
and money if such was found to be tbe
case after the work of continuing it to a
greater depth is commenced; and then,
too, tbe drive-pipe is ooly eight inches,
while tbe drive-pipe of tbe new well
will be twelve inches, and down to the
depth of 1.500 feet will not be less than
eight inches.
The new well will be drilled a few
yards east of the old one.

A large audience greeted tbe Wood

three act farcical comedy entitled, "Too
Much Smith;" but it did not appear
from tbe generous applause of the audi
ence tbat tbey had "too much" Wood
ward. This gentleman, at the head of
tbe fun-makers, can always assure every
one a pleasant evening. Mr. Woodward
is what we would term a very clever
comedian, and handles the comedy line
with perfect ease, while his support is
very good.
Tbe play from start to finish is fun-
making, and every one in the cast
seemed to have tbe right conception of

To-night they will present Roland

SEABOARD AIR LINE-
Tbe Star has received from the Gen
eral Passenger Agent of the Seaboard
Air Line, with a request for publication,
the following extract from a communi
cation of bis, printed in the Wall Street
ournal of Nov. 1, 1897:
"The S. A. L. has made no cut in pas
senger rates, but bas simply, for its pro
tection and for tbe benefit of its patrons
adopted a differential passenger tariff
wbicb reduces rates on all tbe railroada
$2 90, while the combination via Ports
mouth and steamer lines beyond makes
a larger reduction. This is no
fault of our tariff, but is on ac
count of existing rates which
have been long since accorded the
water lines between Norfolk, Ports
mouth and Eastern cmeS. The time,
however, via tbe latter toute is longer.
We have made repeated application for
a differential to lines forming tbe asso
ciated roads of Virginia and the Caro
linas and tbe Southern Passenger Alto
clat 00, but our application has been re
ferred to some 'other' Association and
the 'other' Association has referred our
application to tbe rate committee, wbicb
causes further postponement, and up to
the present time we have received uo
encouragement from either Association,
especially tbe Southern Passenger -Association.
Tbe Seaboard Air Line is
not a member of any of tbe Atsocia
tiona and bas not been for a number of
years, and it is hardly to be expected that
the Southern Passenger Association
would give any recognition or try to
remedy a grievance presented to it
under present influences, One case in
particular. Wben differentials were
asked by a line in the Association, it bad
I tbis peculiar result; and the line was one
of tbe strongest ia tbe Southern Passen
ger Association. A resolution was in
troduced through its proper representa
tives setting forth specific differentials.
When tbis came before tbe rate com
mittee it was lost. Tbe request was
then submitted to tbe commission for
decision wbo, after mature considera
tion, ruled that tbe application could
only be decided by arbitration. Tbe
board of arbitration could not deter
mine whether tbe differential asked for
should be allowed and referred tbe
matter back, stating tbat there was no
word in the agreement of . the rules
and regulations of said Associa
tion intimidating any authority in the
Association of the rate committee to
even consider tbe allowance of differen
tials, much less to make such allowance,
Southern Passenger Astoclation arbi
tration case No. 2. agreed January 27tb
and 28th, 1888 1 Therefore you see all
through we have worked earnestly and
diligently on tbe ques ion of differen
tials, which we feel should have been
allowed us for ten years. We, at tbe
end of tbat time, found ourselves in
about the same position as when we com
menced; while competitors through their
pecular lcnuence have been permitted
to increase their advantages to our in
iary."
CHOSEN FRIENDS.
Wilmington Council No. 10 Older ot
Chosen Fi lends Give an Erj ar
able Beoeption.
Last evening was a most delightful
one to Wilmington Council, No. 19, of
the Order of Chosen Friends. Their
large ball on Third street opposite tbe
City Hall was brilliantly lighted and
good cheer reigned within. The occa
sionofallths enjoyment was a recep
tion given to tbe members of the Order,
which is a growing one and deservedly
popular
Dr. S. Mendelsohn was master of cere
monies last evening and made an inter
esting sddress on the good of the Order
Tbere were interesting remarks also
from Messrs. P. V. Alderman, H. C
Twining, L. H. Kelly. D. Goldman, C.
D, Morrill and others.
Refreshments were served in abund
ance and the committee 01 arrange
ments left nothing undone that could
contribute to the enjoyment ot tbe sixty
or seventy members who were present
Tbe Star returns thanks for the liberal
share of the refreshments tbat fell to its
lot. Mayor S. P.Wright, who is a mem
ber of the order, was expected to be
present at the festivities but was kept
away by a pressing business engagement
It was learned from a member of the
order that another reception will be given
some time in December, to which tbe
public will be invited.
There was a brief business meeting be
fore the reception last night and the age
limit was increased to 55 years on the
equalization plan
WARNING.
I have been informed that ceriain per
sons have, within the past two months,
been begging from door to door, asking
for money to bury a dead relative. These
persons have presented a list of those
wbo bave given them aid, and so far have
endorsed their mendicancy. Among
these names has been written "The As
sociated Charities," or tbe name ot tbe
president of the Associated Charities. I
warn this community that these persons
are Imposters, obtaining money under
false pretences. Tbe Associated Char
ities never signs its name to such pa
cers, giving a part and encouraging the
petitioner to beg for tbe rest. An un
varying policy has Deen to discourage
street begging, and our enort nas oeen
to break up tbis degrading custom.
We give all the money necessary in
such cases, or we join witn
the county or with one of the churches
or witb the relatives of tbe deceased,
thus providing for tbe full amount, or
we refuse any help at all. If all of our
citizens would resolutely and absolutely
refuse all beggars for money at tbe store
or door, and would then sootbje
their consciences by sending us a con
tribution to the amount tbey bave been
tempted to give, tbey would no longer
be imposed on; tbey would no longer be
encouraging deceit and knavery; they
would be doing the best possible thing
at present in our citv to relieve honest
misfortune and to benefit tne poor.
Respectfully,
Robert Strang,
Pres. Asso. Cbar.
