Qfeat Sorrow Manifest in Wil mington Over Death of Presi dent Wm. McKinley. - MASS MEETINQ YESTERDAY. Reiolatlons of Kcspect to Dead Chieftain : ; and Many Eloqnent and Personal Tribntes -1 Telexrsm Sent to , Secretary Cortelyon. : Perhaps in - no Southern "city was there apparent yesterday more out ward or unmistakable" manifestation of the deep gloom that har fallen over the nation in the death of its Presi dent, than in Wilmington.- i Mr. McKinley's death was the all important v.. topic,- discussed . on, ; the streets, in; ocea and places of busi: nesa, and deep and -personal was. the regret expressed by every one. Flags over private and -public buildings and over vessels In the harbor were at half mast and there were many other evi dences of the great loss felt by the people, regardless of political creed, class lor condition of men. The Pro duce Exchange, while open to mem bers, -was the scene of no transac tions in - the commercial world and the miniature ' flags 1 over the desk of "the secretary were ap propriately draped. Holiday hours, as far as business would permit, were observed at the United States build ings and officials were alike in . ex pressing the most profound sorrow upon the death of their chief. " At the service in the Temple of Israel yesterday morning , Bev. Dr. Mendelsohn, the Rabbi, made a most touching reference to the death, eulog izing the life and character of the de ceased ruler. The mass meeting of citizens in the Court House, to take action in ref erence to the death of the President, was indeed a most- representative one. The large court room was full to over flowing with' men who entered heart ily and sympathetically into the spirit of the nour. The meeting was held at 10 o'clock and Mr. Hugh MacRae was called to the chair. ' Rt Rev. Bishop A. A. Watson offered a very fervent prayer and upon motion of Mr. John 8. Armstrong the following committee was named to pass upon any" resolu tions that might be offered : Messrs. J. G. Stevenson, W. R. Kenan, H. W. Malloy, A. M. Waddell and W. E. Springer.. -' : sjThe resolution embraced in the fol lowing telegraphic transmission to Secretary Cortelyon, with a request far conveyance of the sentiment to Mrs. McKinley, , was then unanimously adopted: . , ' "September 14, 1901. . (Secretory Geo. Bj, Cortelyou,Buffaloi "At a resresentative nubile meetine of the citizens of Wilmington, N. Q, held this morning at 10 o'clock, tne following resolution was passed unan imously, and this committee was in structed, to send the same to Mrs. Mc Kinley. Will you kindly convey the resolution to her t " 'Resolved. That on this day. while we mourn with the whole country for our dead President and listen rever ently to the messages of sympathy which are pouring In from ail tne nations of the earth, -we deem it a mournful duty, as a community, to express our sorrow for the sufferings and death of William McKinley, our fellow citizen the soldier, statesman and patriot feeling, as we do, that we have not only .experienced a na tional but also a personal aftiction. ' "His lofty character.- his calm, wise statesmanship and his excellent diplo macy in handling our foreign affairs during a very trying and exciting period of the world's history have moved the hearts of the people as the heart of one man is moved and have brought the country to the front line of the ruling world powers. "President of the whole people, and sustained by the loyalty of all the States he has commanded for us the respect of all foreign potentates. i "Whilst his kindly personality, his eminent services, his patience and. beautiful fortitude in these last anxious days have endeared him to the hearts of all good citizens. v "We extend to his devoted wife and to his family our respectful sympathy. "Htjoh MaoRak, . "H. C. McQttxxh, "H. W. Malloy, , r ; " , . VCommlttee." Chairman MacRae, when the reso-. lution had been feelingly adopted, stated that it was also . the purpose of the meeting to hear from those: who, personally desired to say something in' honor of the departed President. Be then called upon Mayor "Waddell, who spoke an eloquent tribute, which waa listened to attentively. He' rw f erred to his acquaintance with Mr. McKinley when he was m ingress and his impression ; of the man and officer. V He was a gentleman with as clean a record aa any man in publiC; life. -Hi devotion; to his' wife was remarkable and beau tiful. , Although many differed with the late President in politics, none dared to question his political or per aonal Integrity; Mayor Waddell closed a beautiful speech with these 'words: "Would to God that .a large propor tion of, the Northern country could realize the feeling in the South. I do not believe any locality is more honest and sincere than this community. God save this country." '' " . -'-1 - ; y Hon. John D. Bellamy began a very feeling and eloquent tribute by saying that a great calamity has befallen the country and it is to be deeply deplored. Anarchy, he said, should be stamped out of the country. No man had ever been President of . the United States who enjoyed a greater respect of his people than Mr. McKinley. Mr. Bel lamy said he had a personal acquaint ance with the President He was easily approached land : in his y company one felt at ' perfect ease. He had a full"'-! cf trrt and tenderness 'rare ly f-- V "3 r-n f! t--y. The people should meet the blow that has befallen. them and make the best of it ",. ' " ;; Rev. Dr. A. D. McClure next spoke tenderly of the dead: ruler and the great calamity which has come upon his people,; During the hour of the funeral lie : suggested that 4 another public meeting be held and that the church bells of the city be tolled dur ing the time. "'r. ' . ,-.r , The suggestion was ; favorably re ceived, and it was the sense of the meeting that business houses close so that all "may attend the meeting and show proper reverence. - - , Rev. Dr. A. G. Voigt next express ed his entire accord with the spirit of the meeting and the eulogies that had been said. Rev. Dr. Calvin S. Blackwell spoke in exceedingly appropriate and touch-; ing language of the death . of . the; President and recited the great anx iety of a devoted people since . the, news of the assassination spread like wildfire - a - week ago.. : Each of the three Presidents- who have fallen at the hands of assassins was noted for his domestic' virtues. He - closed his very beautiful tribute by saying: "My own heart wears a tenderness for the noble and heroic woman ' whom the man now in death has just nursed to recovery by his Iove.'.' . Mr. J. W. Norwood recited the events leading up to and the circum stances surrounding the assassination of the three presidents who had died at the hands of diabolical men. The killing of Mr. McKinley was the most unmitigated, reprehensible and cow ardly of alL. He said he knew of no more apt parallel in history than the murder of our Blessed Savior, -who was betrayed with a kiss by Judas Iscariot. . r Mr. D. L. Gore spoke in splendid language of the late President and his many virtues and capabilities. "We nonor ourselves in honoring the dead President," said Mr. Gore. Collector of Customs Jno. C. Dancy, the only colored man presant asked to be pardoned for his interruption dur ing their labor oflove. He spoke elo quently of the President and paid one of the most beautiful tributes of the meeting to his memory. Mr. W. M. Cumming next spoke and impressed the people with the idea that President .Roosevelt be given the utmost spirit and confidence. Mr. H. C. McQueen concurred in the sentiment expressed by Mr. Cum ming in regard to President Roosevelt and upon Mr. McQueen's motion, a verbal resolution extending the sym pathy of the community to the new President in this great hour thrust upon him, was unanimously adopted. The Stab regrets that space forbids a more complete reference to all the beautiful tributes paid to the Presi dent's memory, but it will suffice to say that each one was sincere and couched in the most appropriate and expressive language.

Abont $600 Per Year Is Isvolved Example of BaBComber Wske and Other Cons- - ties' WIU; ke Followed'Here 1 - Revenae for Six Months.; . : ' A controversy over the s dispositionr of fines, accruing from : the munic ipal ourt is likely to be launched at any time between the city authorities and the County Board of School Di rectors, t ' r.;-.. ; ; ; . About two years ago in Raleigh and fnAheville the county school author ities .discovered ; '4 . hidden law, or rather prlnciple'of law, which makes all fines Imposed by the State payable to the school fund. .; In cases of 'towns and cities con jointly .with the State,, the law had never been . enforced and when a demand ' was made jrpon the municipal authorities for .these fines, it was prom ptly resisted. : A test case was made up and the Supreme Court decided in favor of the school author ities.; In Raleigh, Asheville and a few other , cities the . decision of the ; court was complied -- with andtiie money paid into' the school fund. This year the de mand for this money has been made in several counties ofthe State, and now it appears to be growing general: The New Hanover School Board took the matter up several weeks ago. and it is now conferring with Mayor Waddell relative to the matter, though. there, appears to be a difference of opinion as to a construction of the law. Mayor Waddell ia willing, so' the school authorities have been in-' formed, to pay into the school fund all fines accruing from ' violations of the State law, but those coming from a.viojatioa of the city ordinances he thinks should properly go into the city treasury. This, it is learned, will be resisted by the school authorities, who think that according to the law all the fines should go Into the school fund, just as is the custom with magistrates and the Criminal Court The school authorities . also claim, that if they so desire, they can go back as far as the record extends and de mand all the fines that have been paid during these years. It is learned, how ever, that it is not the disposition of the school directors to make such a sweep ing demand,' but they think that the amounts since January 1st, 1901, should be turned over for educational purposes and all fines paid in the future should be applied in the, same .manner.. - - The school authorities have been quietly working along this line for some time and hope to have the matter concluded amicably in the near future. From a statement furnished by the city of fines and costs collected in the police court from Jan. 1st, 1901, to Aug. 19th, 1901 a little more than seven ; months it . is seen . that the amount received is $489.90, deducting costs of $186.35, from which is left an aggregate of fines amounting to $303.65. The extent the city would suffer under the new arrangement and the benefit that would accrue to the school fund during the year may be drawn from these figures. HIGH SCHOOL TEAM DEFEATED.
