For Whoo-Dlner Oou&rh use QWEKETT& EX PECTORANT, t The Morning THE DNI0N SCHOOL Gave a Most Creditable Exhibi tion Yesterday in Honor of "Carolina Day." AN ELABORATE PROGRAMME. The Celebration Was Given by the Popils Under the Able Directorship of Miss Parsley, Assisted by the Fac ulty of Teachers. The exercises at the Union School yesterday, in honor of "Carolina Day," were a credit not only to the principals of the school but to the city of Wilmington, and the patrons of the public institutions are justly proud of the interest taken in the pupils by the efficient corps of teachers and the fine showing made by them on all occa sions. The celebration yesterday was a most happy event and to Miss Susie Parsley, and the teachers of the Union School who so ably assisted her, is due un bounded praise for the rare excellence of the exercises, which were altogether inspiring, instructive and wholly in teresting. Superintendent of Schools John J. Blair expressed gratification at the very large attendance and warmly welcomed all who were present. The celebration was in the form of a spec tacular entertainment, and was scien tific, educational and political to an extent. The first part of the exercises was made to show the nine congres sional districts and the second part represented the Mountain, the Pied mont and the Coast sections. The districts were shown in numer ical order, beginning at the first and ending at the nineth, each district having been ably and most interesting y represented by the girls and boys who executed every part of the pro gramme in a perfect and most admir able manner. The counties in each district were shown on large and at tractive placards, and the historical events, industrial resources, and all other characteristics of each county were represented by the recitation of a few lines of verses; oftentimes to the great amusement of the audience. The costuming was very effective and it was one of the most pronounced fea tures of the entertainment. Especially worthy of mention was the scene when Governor Vance's pic ture was brought on the stage by two young ladies and immediately follow ing were a number of boys and girls who surrounded the photograph and carried banners, on which were inscribed: "Statesman," "Con gressman," "Boidier," "JSour times elected Senator," "Legislator," "Col onel C. S. of- A.," Thrice Gov ernor." An amusing verse was then recited on Vance's boyhood days. New Hanover came in the collection of counties of the sixth distriot, and was represented by five pretty young girls attractively attired in sailor cos tumes, and by a boy bearing a minia ture ship. An appropriate recitation giving data concerning the establish ment and the historical events of Wil mington was recited. It concluded with these words: "With a fine school like the Union nobody should fail to locate Wilmington." The second part of the programme bearing upon the physical division of the "Old North State" was also cred itably executed, probably the most in teresting incident in its rendition be ing the speech of Master Will Gore, who spoke of the unbounded resour ces of the State and pointed with pride to Miss Worth and Miss Hicks, who were beautifully attired in white and who posed as the "Seal of North Caro lina," one representing the goddess of liberty and the other the goddess of plenty with her overflowing cornuco pia. The mountain section was appropri ately represented by names of high mountain peaks; the Piedmont region by six young ladies offering the pro ducts of the section ; and the coast by young ladies in sailor suits, the song "Sailing," having served as a fitting finale. An impersonation of huck sters, and a clog dahce, followed by a genuine and very graceful cake walk by a boy and girl impersonating little "darkies," were very good. A song marked the close of one of the most delightful entertainments given in the public schools in many a day. Sales of Real Estate. In the office of the Register of Deeds vesterdav were filed papers for the transfer of the following property: Hillhouse Buel and wife and Kobt. Atkinson and wife, all of the city of Baltimore, to Frank H. Stedman and Chas. C. Chadbourn, of this city, property 22x91 feet on Water street between Princess and Cuesnut; con sideration, fl John Henry Hewlett and wife to W. S.

Mills, the well-known horse dealer, had a very narrow escape from serious injuries yesterday after noon about 4 o'clock at Second and Chestnut streets by being thrown from a road cart. Toung Mills and a negro man were driving a fractious horse to a road cart which is used in breaking wild horses. The animal began to run at Second and Princess streeteand was going at full speed when the cart struck a stone post on the corner of Second and Chestnut streets and the boy and the negro were thrown violently to the ground. The young fellow was badly shocked and received a slight wound on his head but otherwise he was not serious ly injured He was carried home in a carriage by Mr. Robert H. Northrop, who saw the accident from Cowan's stables. The negro escaped with a few bruises. The road cart was badly demolished. Poultry and Live Stock. "The Wilmington Poultry and Live Stock Association" is the name of the new organization recently formed to promote the industry in the city, as is implied in its name. A meeting was held last night at the National Bank of .Wilmington but the proceedings, for the most part, are not yet for pub lication. A committee on by-laws and constitution was named to report at a meeting to be called later by the president. The prospects are bright for a successful organization and much benefit is expected to be derived by members. Among the prominent men engaged in the promotion of the Association are Messrs. E. P. Bailey, F. L. Huggins. Ed. Huggins, A. O. McEachern, J. E. Gordon, W. EL Mc Eachern and W. C. Armstrong.

Magnificent Display of Spring and Summer Millinery at the Racket Store. IT WILL CONTINUE TO-DAY. Store Presents Splendid Appearance, and Notwithstanding Inclement Weather the Event Was a Great Suc cess Music Programme. Hundreds of Wilmington ladies and many from adjoining towns were charmed yesterday by the magnificent display of Spring and Summer milli nery and millinery goods upon the oc casion of the annual opening of the mammoth and popular dry goods es tablishment of ' Mr. George O. Gay lord, on South Front street, opposite the Elks' Temple, which began at 8 o'clock in the morning and continued until 10 last evening. The day was not altogether, an ideal one for an opening so elaborate, as usually characterizes this big store with its thousands of dollars in milli nery and other goods of that charac ter, but it was an event that the ladies of the city could not afford to pass un noticed and many of them braved the wind and threatening atmosphere and kept the millinery department up stairs well nigh crowded during the entire day. It is safe to say that even under the adverse circumstances inci dent to the weather, no more success ful opening has occurred in Wilming ton this or last season than at Gay lord's. As before stated, the millinery de partment, easily accesible by elevator, is on the second floor and a feast for the eyes of the fastidious is here spread out for inspection. To .say nothing of the hundred and one new shapes, styles and fabrics in head gear, there i an abundance of elabo rate trimmings, all-over laces and embroideries, new crepes, ribbons, chiffons and the like, and the entire place is made even more beautiful and effective by a wealth of decorations, artistically arranged and brought out in one perfect blend of unison. The growing flowers and plants are by Miss Fannie Johnson, She well-known Dock street florist, and the arrange ment is by Miss Alma Brown, the capable milliner in charge, who was aided by a corps of a dozen or more assistants, among whom were Misses Agnes Presson, Dora Brown, Nettie Seeders, Mamie Morrill, Lula Orrell, Janie Farrow, Mary Vincent, LiUie Presson, LiUie Frederick, Alice Smith and May Farro Jr. During the progress of the opening excellent piano selections were ren dered by Miss May Muse. It would be futile to describe the many tbiogs beautiful that are offered in the department. Among the lead ing styles in French patterns are the Madame Cartier, Mme. Michniewicz tunee, Mme. Jose, and others inciud ing several beauties in American styles. The opening will continue to day until 10 o'clock this evening and Miss Brown would be glad for her friends to call and see the new styles personally selected while on a three weeks' trip North, accompanied by Mr. Gaylord. Down stairs the decorations and ar rangement is less effective but it is easily seen that it's "opening day" all over the store. The window and other decorations are by Miss Brown and Mr. Hiram Jenkins and are very pretty. Mr. Gaylord during the open ing is making a specialty of gray and white kid gloves, a superb line of em broderies, all over insertions, and a handsome line of silks for shirt waists. The various departments upon this floor aside from Mr. Gaylord, who, of course, has general supervision, are in charge as follows: J. R. Boyd, head salesman and wholesale department; J. J. Windley, bookkeeper; Miss Irma Marsh, cashier; Hiram Jenkins, dress goods; F. A. Muse, domestics, percales, organdies, lawns, etc. ; E. Z. Milton, shoes; Miss Lizzie Mulford, notions; George Baldwin, general salesman; Johnnie Fredericks, hats and caps; Fenner Gaylord, general salesman; Leonard Gore, delivery clerk; R. C. Sellars, olothing; H. L. Peterson, receiving and shipping clerk; F. B. Wright, travelling sales man. Each one is an artist in his Or her line, and you'll be treated right if you visit the store. The Blow Yesterday. Wilmington had a blow yesterday that was much akin to a storm. There was however, no damage reported save at WrightsvUle beach where the three story frame of the new annex, which Contractor Applegate is building to the Seashore Hotel, was razed to the ground. Mr. Applegate was soon up to the city for an additional supply of timber to replace some that was split up in the fall, and the work will con tinue with but slight interruption. The Strawberry Crop. Mf. C. B. Hatch, the well known excursion manager of Mount Olive, was here yesterday. He says that the strawberry season this year will not open before the first of May, which is about fifteen days later than in 1900. The crop is short, he says, but the prospect is for a very fine quality of the fruit , Raleigh Post: "Mr. E. P.

The plaintiff sets forth in the complaint that upon arrival of the train at Wilmington from Fayetteville he had no chance to buy a ticket to the beach and that when about three miles from Wil mington he was forcibly and brutally ejected from one of defendant com pany's trains because he remarked when called upon to pay the usual fare of thirty-five cents, that it was his understanding that the fare was only twenty-five cents.
