" IMPROVED STORM SIGNAL SERVICE. Telephone and Telegraph Warnings to J be Sent TBrongbont tbe District. : lmproyed ForesMting Service. , ' Very decided improvements are be ing inaugurated by Mr. W. H. Fallon, chief observer of the TL, S. Weather Bureau station in this city, in the mat-. ter of severe ; storm "or hurricane sig nals.; The improvement is in pursu ance to instructions from Washington and consists of a telegraph, telephone and mail warning service, which will cover the entire district for which thei Wilmington office is the .chief station. .. When storm warnings are re ceived Mr. Fallon will immediately telegraph or telephone them, at the government's expense, la the principal towns in all parts of the district; which comprises Bladen, Brunswick Car teret, Columbus, Cumberland, Duplin, J 6nes, New Hanover, Onslow, Pam lico, Pender and Robeson counties. : " In speaking of the Storm Signal service, to a member of the Star staff yesterday, Mr. Fallon said- that the storm forecasting is now. much more accurate and very much earlier because of the service which the Washington Bureau has established in the West Indies since the Spanish-American war. Heretofore there has been ho warning of Atlantic coast storms from the . South until they , struck: Key West on the south coast of Florida, but now there are reports from Cuba andihe other West India islands twice a day, so that cities all along the South Atlantic coast can be warned of any storms which passlhose islands bound this way, very much earlier .than previously. '' i .: . Mr. Fallon says that arrangements have been made for the most effective frost forecast service, during the com ing Spring which ; have been given in the history of the service.- The frost f orecast will commence on March 15th, and the warnings will be given from 24 to 36 hours in advance. It is estimated that this department of the service saved in this district alone fully $200,000 to truckers and others last season. it is claimed tnat tnere was not a single frost last Spring which was not. forecasted by the service. This Spring the citizens at any postoffice in the district can get the service by asking the Wilmington office for it. And Ihe daily weather forecasts" will be mailed to any citizen who will make a Written request for them. j BOARD AUDIT AND FINANCE.

" A communication "was received from thetBoard of Aldermen stating that an appropriation of $1,000, or so much thereof as would be necessary, had been made for the purchase of two hose wagons and a patrol wagon to be used by . the J fire and police . depart ments of the city respectively, and that a committee had been appointed to negotiate the sale of some , surplus fiie apparatus. The matter was de f erred until a future 'meeting of the Board, which will be ; called i- by the chairman in a few days, , Y .The communication further stated that 'an appropriation of $1,00& had been made for the erection of a pest house and a house, of i detention for smallDox subiects. This matter was also deferred until a special meeting can be called. ' ; - The action of 4he Boardof Alder men in employing M. D7 Ciroom as stock driver at $30 per month was ap proved. Eight hundred and : sixty-five cou pons, amounting to $18,217.50 and five bonds amounting to $5,000, which had been paid, were burned.-: Forty cou pons Amounting to $1,200, which had not matured and which were cut from the bonds paid, were also, burned, Bills for current expenses were audited and approved j to the amount of $6,499.54, also coupons amounting S18.217.50 and bonds; to the amount of $5,000.

Will Start Prom Tbe Orton at Noon To day Last, Night's Performance by Vif Lee, the I Hypnotist : The .extreme inclemencv .'of the weather made some inroads . upon the audience at the Opera House last night to witness the hypnotic: performances by Prof. Tiee, but there was neverthe less very good patronage and the per-, formance was fully up to the high standard of marvelous and mirth-pro- ing - hypnotic 5; power set by the initial performance on Monday night. . Probably the most wonderful feature of the programme last night was the Vpostoffice feat." Capt Edgar Hart, Herbert McClammy, Esq., Mr. H. J. Gerken and Mr. W. R. Morrison were selected as a committee and - sent' to the postoffice, where" they- selected a box in which they locked a card. They then stopped by MfTTMc- Clammy's office, hid the key and re turned to the Opera House. Then Prof. Lee hypnotized and blindfolded one of his assistants, who took Capt Hart's arm and led him back to" the postoffice over the same route, stop ping at Mr. McClammy 's office for the key. At the postoffice the subject lo cated the box, procured the "card and then led Capt Hart back to the Opera House, still blindfolded. The commit tee had been instructed to agree upon and think about some special person in the audience to whom they wanted the hypnotized man '. io deliver the key. They did so, selecting Mr. E. P. Boatwright and the key was so de livered.' To-day at noon the - famous blind fold drive will take place. The com mittee selected to drive over the city, and hide a needle which Lee will find is to consist of exMayor Jno. J. Fow ler, Mr. Benjamin Bell of the Messen ger, Mr. B. W.. Vincent of the Dis patch and William J. Martin of the Star. Many new features are an nounced for the performance to-night MR. MABIE'S LECTURE. "Literature and Life" the Subject The Audience Delighted A Good Attendance. Members of the Wilmington Lyceum and th-Y. M. C. A. Star Course who, in the face of dreadful weather condi tions, attended the lecture in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium last night by Mr. Hamilton Mabie, the distinguish ed author and orator, unite in pro nouncing the event a thorough suc cess from both literary and oratoriaal viewpoints.'.'-- - " f. ' !;. As previously announced ' the sub' jectof Mr. Mabie's lecture was "Lit erature and Life."' And during the two hours devoted to the lecture the delighted audience was carried through the whole range of the literature of the world, pausing' here and there for a clearer conception of the beauties of the "great books" j and "great authors" as they overshadow their fel lows along the "corridors of time,'' and having pointed out' in a fluent flow of most choice English, theuf varied conception of human life and their influence upon the lives of students of literature. - The attendance upon the lecture while verv gooa was not nearly wnat it would have been had the weather conditions been more favorable, Dr. Hoge introduced the speaker and occupied a seat with him on the stage during the lecture.
