Andrew Carnegie says that it is better for a man who wants to accu mulate millions not to be born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Well, but how could we fellows who were born with s. p.?s in our mouths help it? PresMent McKinley told the people of Minneapolis that he had discov ered the 3ecret of the success of that town and St. Paul. It was, "They work themselves and they work everybody else." The President isn t given to working ofT jokes like this. Ex-Gov. Hogg, of Texas, expresses the opinion that it is the duty of the Unite! States to "shoot hell oat of the Filipinos and put an end to the war." Between shooting hell out of them and civilization into them our soldiers over there will be kept 'actively engaged for some time. "We are on a gold basiB, and we mean to stay there," exclaimed Mr. McKinley in one of his Western tail end talks. A few years ago Mr. McKinley held that we were on a bimetallic basis. In view of his shifting the opinion is justified that Mr. McKinley i3 treating this ques tion in a very base way. The stove-pipe hat is going. In the Dewey festivities in New York there were so few visible that they looked lonesome. This reminds us that the man who invented and first appeared on the streets of London with a a. p. h. on came near being killed by a mob. But the attempt at killing came too late. He had already built the hat. Here is the way Admiral Dewey's Chinese cook graphically described for Gov. Smith, of Vermont, the way the Admiral did that little job in Manila bay: "Salee upee bay.

John B. dibble, of Denlseo, Texas, and Miss Anrnsta Jocclya Moore, of Wllmlurton, Married. A beautiful wedding took place at St James' Episcopal church yesterday evening at 5.30 o'clock, the Rev. John Benners Gibble, of Denison, Texas, leading to the altar Miss Augusta Jocelyu Moore, daughter of Mrs. Ed ward Jocelyn Moore, one of Wil mington's most highly esteemed young ladies. It was a golden rod wedding and the decorations for the . event were on a most elaborate scald. About the altar and chancel was a most tasteful arrangement of palms, ferns, wild olive branches and Southern smilax, while banks and hedges of beautiful golden rod predominated the ensem blage of rare plants. The church was packed with rela tives and friends who gathered to wit ness the performance of the pretty cere mony by the Rev. Robt. Strange, D. D., rector of St. James'. Mr. E. H. Mun son,the organist, presided at the instru ment, and while the bridal party was awaited he rendered with rare skill a medley of classic compositions. When the bride and groom arrived with their party, they approached the altar to the joyous measures of the bridal chorus from Lohengrin, the ushers leading the main aisle order: Mr. brother of the H. Love; the processsion up the in the following Will Love Moore, bride, with Dr, Lionel Rev. R. R Windley with Mr. R. A. Parsley; Mr. T. Ed. Brown, cousin of the bride, with Dr. Richard J. Price. Following the ushers was the maid of honor, Miss Carrie Thomas Moore, sister of the bride, and after her came the bride, leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr. Edward Brown Moore. At the chancel the bride was joinedby the groom, who came in from the vestry room accom panied by his best man, the Rev. Wil son Page Chrisman, of Richmond, Va. Dr. Strange stood in front of the re redos, which was brilliant with lighted candles, and when the bride and groom presented themselves he united them in the holy bonds of wedlock in ac cordance with the rites of his church. Her brother, Mr. Edward Brown Moore, gave the bride away. When the marriage was pronounced the bell in the tower rang out in happy acclaim and the bridal party re tired while the organist grandly played Mendelssohn's wedding march. The bride was stylishly attired in a tailor-made going-away gown of tan broadcloth, with hat to match. At her throat she wore an exquisite brooch of diamonds and pearls, the gift of the groom. Her bouquet was a lovely bunch of Palma violets, and she carried in her hand a Prayer Book, the gift of her rector. Dr. Strange. The marriage -service was read from this book and the marriage certificate was written on one of the fly leaves. The maid of honor's costume was a handsome dress of green broadcloth, trimmed with white velvet and lace. She wore a pretty pin of cluster pearls, a souvenir presented by the groom. She carried a magnificent bouquet of Golden Gate roses, Farleyense ferns and asparagus. The ushers wore bQutonniera of yellow carnations. From the church the bridal party was driven to the home of the bride's mother, 631 Dock street, and when the bride and groom alighted and went into the parlor they were greeted with a shower of rioe. The parlors and hall were richly decorated with royal palms and potted plants and cut flowers, and a large table and the piano were covered with costly and beautiful presents. One of the pres ents was a cup and saucer which was owned by the bride's great-grandmother and has been in the family more than a hundred years. The pres ents from Texas friends were not sent here but will await the arrival of the bride and groom at their home. An informal reception was held and refreshments were served, after which Mr. and Mrs. Gibble went to Front street station and after more rice throwing and adieus they took the 7 P; M. train on the Atlantic Coast Line for Washington, where they will spend a week. Thence they will go to New York, Boston, Providence and Barrington, R. I. They will re turn to New York and leave there on the 28th instant for Galveston. They will be at home November 10 th at Denison, where Mr. Gibble is rector of St. Luke's Episcopal Church. Mr. Gibble formerly resided in Wil mington, and from August, 1891, to February, 1891, was assistant min ister at St. James' and was deacon in charge of the Chapel of the Good Shepherd, under the auspices of that church. He is highly esteemed here, and his host of friends will be pleased to know that his ability as a minister has given him wide prominence in church circles in Texas. Newbnry-Marphy. As foreshadowed in the Stab of yes terday on Wednesday night at 9.15 o'clock in Edenton Street Methodist parsonage, Raleigh, Mr. George E. Murphy and Miss Daisy E.

Oave Newly Elected Lieutenants Brilliant Reception and Samptnons Oyster Feast Last Evening. The Wilmington Division of the North Carolina Naval Brigade, at their Armory last evening, gave com plimentary to their two newly elected Lieutenants, Mr. A. B. Skelding, the Senoir Grade and Mr. H. M. Chase, of the Junior Grade, a sumpt uous and elaborate oyster supper and reception, at which there were present more than half a hundred members of the division and their guests. The supper combined both substance and elegance and with the reception was voted one of the most pleasant entertainments in the history of the organization. Among the distinguished guests present who partook of the hospi tality of the division on this occasion were Mayor A. M. Waddell, Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy, Capt. C. H. White, of the Wilmington Light Infantry; Capt. Geo. L. Morton and Lieut. R. H. McKoy, of the Naval brigade ; Dr. A. H. Harriss, assistant surgeon of the division, and Geo. L. Peschau, Esq. The hall of the armory was gaily edecked with national colprs, em racing flags and colors of the cruisers antucket and Hornet, boats recently n service of toe brigade, and other decorations and articles significant of the marine military. Captain Morton at the formal open ing of the affair made a very pleasing address, felicitating the division upon the election of Lieutenants Skelding and Chase and referring pleasantly to the reception and cordial greeting be ing given them last evening. Brief addresses were also made and toasts responded to by Hon. John D. Bellamy, Mayor Waddell, Capt. White, Geo. L. Peschau and others of the in vited guests. The speech of Mr. Bellamy was an especially happy one, referring appre ciatively to the noble response to their country's call by the brigade in the late war with Spain and its splendid cruiser, the Nantucket, and conjectur ing as to the possibility of the calling into requisition of the naval force of the United States in future years. Mr. Bellamy's speech was enthusiasti cally appreciated, as were those of the other speakers of the evening, the re marks of whom were along the same lines. The occasion was indeed a brilliant one and much of its success is due to Messrs. L. L. Corbett, W. R. Middle ton, J. E. Cornell and D. D. Barber, who constituted the committee of ar rangements and did their work in a thoroughly acceptable and pleasant manner. The supper was served by the At lantic Cafe, corner Front and Red Cross streets: DAUQHTERS OP THE CONFEDERACY. First Fall Meeting of Cape Feir Chapter Held Yesterday Morning.

' The importance of sending delegates to the meeting of the General Associa tion at Richmond, November 8th to 11th, was discussed.

The Chapter decided to give a tea next week as a manifestation of sym pathy for Mrs. Stonewall Jackson in her invalid condition. A letter was received from the Wil mington Light Infantry granting the Chapter the use of the front room at the armory for their museum of war relics instead of the back room now used.

COMING ATTRACTIONS AT THE OPERA HOUSE. Lewis Morrison In'Frederlck The Great" To-morrow Night-Olympia Opera Company Next Week. Ia all of Lewis Morrison's produc tions, it is said, the scenic effects have always possessed a vitality that is pos itively amazinc. In his enminer netr pM'spectacular presentation of "Frederick The Great" at the Wilmington Opera House to-morrow night, we are prom ised a collection of gems of pictorial art, that are said to surpass any former efforts of this well known actor. The first set represents the grand corridor leading to the theatre in the Winter Palace at Berlin, a faithful reproduc tion of that magnificent structure, which is yearly visited by thousands of tourists. The second act discloses the audience chamber in the same pal ace, also a massively constructed set which possesses a wealth of artistic blending of colors, making a most fit ting background to the gorgeous gowns and uniforms of the players. The following scene is the piece de resis tance of the production and said to be amarvel in artistic skill and construe tive ingenuity. It represents Freder ick's headquarters on the battlefield. During the entire action of this act, the tumult and carnage of battle is very much in evidence. Houses are seen to burn, others are wrecked by shells, riderless horses gallop past, while soldiers march by with a reckless anti cipation that is plainly visible. The sunset at the end of this act is acknowl edged a gem of theatrical effect and color. The sale of seats opens this morning at Gerken's. Prices of best seats with exception of boxes are $1.00. Olympia Opera Company. Beginning Monday night the Olympia Opera Company, a troupe of charming entertainers, will open a week's engagement with change of programme daily. The Raleigh News and Observer says of one their leading operas: The brilliant opera Paul Jones was presented last night to the capacity of the Academy of Music. The immense audience that went to see the presen tation of Planquett's ever beautiful and popular romantic opera, "Paul Jones," as it had been widely pro claimed that the company was much better in many particulars than any other that had visited this city, those who witnessed the performance last night expected a great deal, and that the most sanguine anticipations were more than fulfilled was universally admitted. The members of the com pany proved themselves masters of every detail of the performance and as a result of their proficiency the pro duction was a grand artistic success. INVITED TO ATLANTA. Wilmington Light Infantry Asked to Par ticipate in Dewey Celebration There Next Week Will Not Attend. Capt. C. H.

A most enjoyable reception and en tertainment was given in the Y. M. C. A. parlors last night to the new and old members of the association. There was a large attendance of the members and many of their lady and gentlemen friends. Mr. John Frank, president of the association, presided, and the pro gramme was begun with prayer by Rev. Milton A. Barber, deacon in charge of St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Addresses were then made by Prof. J. H. Harnly on education, by Mr. W. L. Latta on the committee work, by Mr. D. H. Harnly on what educa- tional work in the association means, and by General Secretary Howard Caldwell on the true relation of ac tive and association membership. The addresses were followed by a delightful vocal solo by Miss Anna D. Slagle, who is a soprano of decided gifts. She charmingly sang "When the Heart is Young," and her singing elicited a storm of applause. She was heartily encored and sang "Bobolink." Next came a piano solo by Mr. James Craft, who rendered it with such skill that he was compelled to respond to an encore. This feature of the evening was closed with a delightful duet on the mandolin by Mr. A. N. Franklin and on the guitar by Mr. C. E. Dixon. They were the recipients of the most appreciative applause. The members of the association and their friends were then invited to the refreshment rooms where charming ladies of the Women's Auxiliary served them most bounteously with ice cream and cake. At the refreshment table, Mr. W. L. Latta, of the membership committee, announced that the contest for mem bership begun August 15th, between the "Hustlers," under Mr. Paul R. Taylor, and the "Busy Bees," undee Mr. P. Heinsberger, had resulted in the acquisition of 88 new members to the credit of the "Hustlers" to 61 for the "Busy Bees." While the refreshments were being served the company was entertained with selections on the gramophone, operated by Mr. H. O. Kight, the physical director. Before leaving, Mr. Heinsberger and his "Busy Bees" gave three cheers for the "Hustlers." Mr. Taylor and his "Hustlers" returned the compliment very heartily. HON. A. M. WADDELL. Candidate for the Senate If Party Prima ries Are Held. Raleigh News & Observer. Wilmington, N. C, Oct. 17, 1899. To the Editor: As one of the per sons whose names have been published in connection with the next United States Senatorship, (although without authority as far as I am concerned) I desire to say to the public what I have said to individuals who have spoken to me on the subject, viz : 1. That if the next Democratic State Convention, in accordance with the resolution of the last one in favor of the election of Senators by the people, shall order party primaries to ascertain the will of the Democrats in the State, I expect to be a candidate; but if the machine method of securing members of the Legislature in advance is to be pursued, I will not be a can didate. 2. That the primaries ought to be held, and the Senatorial canvass con ducted, after the August election, and not before. ' 3. That I am not now making any canvass, and will not do so until I know whether there are to be primaries or not. 4. That I will cheerfully unite with all other aspirants in a pledge not to solicit, directly or indirectly, any vote until after the August election. 5. That, in my opinion, no man worthy to be Senator would hold that office contrary to the will of a majority of his own party. If there is any more candid or plainer way to state my position on the matter than this, I do not know it. Alfred Moore Waddell. Small Fires this Morning. Fire was discoved this morning shortly after 12 o'clock by Policeman Ward in the one story frame building at foot of Market street, formerly oc cubied by Messrs.
