While the negroes are in creasing in numbers, they are not in creasing in proportion to the whites.

Coatiaaes Throat b To-day. This season the annual Fall opening of millinery and dress goods at Wils mipgton's Big Backet Store is proving a more magnificent success than ever. The opening began yesterday morn ing and will be continued through to day and until 9:30 o'clock to-night Hundreds of ladies visited the store and were delighted with the display yesterday and as many more are ex pected and cordially invited to-day. Mr. Gaylord, proprietor of the store, says that the opening day at his popu lar establishment was all that he could desire; hundreds of sales were made and many visited the place and in spected the stock, who will send in their orders later - " The decorations this year embrace many new ideas and are elaborate. The windows on the first floor present an attractive appearance and the in terior is none the-less pleasing to tne eye. The great clearance sale inaugurated at the store several weeks ago, cleared shelves and counters and these are now filled with new goods that are both stylish and at reasonable ""price. The dress goods counters will prove an interesting place to the ladies for the stock this year is larger than ever and purchased at a greater advantage. The stock of millinery and trimmings appears to be twice as large as last season and clever and 'capable artists are in charge. Miss Alma Brown the directing milliner, spent four weeks North just prior to the opening and her collection of new and stylisn nats and trimmings are pronounced the i most select and most complete in the city. 8he has twenty young lady assistants and customers or visitors are never allowed to wait but are care fully shown through with ease. An orchestra furnishes music for the fraenincr and the scene in the millinery department especially is all that could be desired. To day is the last day of the open- inr and everv ladv in Wilmington is most respectfully asked to call and ex amine the new Fall styles and fancies. FIELDS' MINSTRELS LAST NIGHT. , Proaooaced the Best and Most Elaborate Ever Seea ia Wllmlniton. It was truly a minstrel audience at the Opera House last night, packed from gallery to pit, and those present witnessed one of the greatest minstrel performances ever staged here. It was bv Al G. Filds' peerless company, composed of the very best and hiarhest salaried artists in the world. The performance was new, novel and ori ginal and nroduced with a wealth of stage settings "superb in design and construction. The first part, tne crea tion of the King of "Minstrelsy.'lDan Quinlan, who stands without a peer as an entorlocutor or manager, was grand. The electrical display, num bering hundreds of incandescent lights, was magnificent and received thunderous- applause. The singing and jest of the opening was splendid. The tenor solo of Reese Prossen and the bass solo of A. C Pringle were trulv delightful. Jimmy Wall sustained his reputation as one of the most popular burnt cork jesters of tne time. Following the opening came a cost ly olio of novelties, headed oy tne Great Fielding, and the performance was broueht to a howling close witn Doc Quiarlev's big dancing absurdity, "The Light and Dark Side of society. The inimitable Al G. was, of course, ia evidence and his appearance in the opening, evoked much applause and his humor much laughter. While on the stage he was presented with a handsome floral design by his brother Elks of this city,. who( regreted ex ceedingly that the departure of the company directly after the perform ance prevented a social session in his honor. - PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

Store Thronged With Ladles Yesterday and Last Night Event Continues To-day -aad This Evening. Interest always attaches, with the feminine portion of the city, at least, to the announcement of the days and dates for the annual Fall opening of millinery and other goods at the popu lar Department store of J. H. Render & Co., near Fourth street bridge. The opening for the year 1901 began yesterday and next to the Elks' Carni val it promises to be the most mag -nificent event on record for the sea- son. It will be continued to-day and to-night until 10 o'clock, and a cordial welcome is extended to everybody.' This year Mr. Render and his capa ble assistants have departed from the old manners and customs in vogue at most openings and the innovations are exceedingly refreshing. It : may strictly be called a "Japanese open ing," for everything is after the man ner of the fantastic little "Jap." The decorations, which extend over tne enure, building, are of palms, ferns, potted plants and other evergreens, with a splendid illumination from 150 incan descent Japanese lanterns. The sales ladies have adopted an Oriental cos tume and everywhere, the store is made beautiful by ideas imported from Japan and adapted toa.metro politan store display. The decora tions also consist of deft festooning n unique designs with a superb ar rangement of the new and stylish fancies in all lines. The effectiveness of the display is due in large measure to Messrs. E. Clayton Moore and C. F. W. Rehder, who directed the work. The millinery display, of course, is most attractive. The windows of this department are especially pretty this year. In one is a large wax figure, beautifully dressed with all the new fancies from the interior. The other is devoted to a handsome display of trimmings, feathers, plumes, etc., of the prevailing fashion. Inside, the millinery department is a perfect dream of beauty and beggars description. A visit to the store will give the only correct conception of what transformations may be wrought by the decorative art. The display of new hats is magnificent and all the eading styles all of them very pret tyare shown . Some of the styles are the "Ace of Clubs," the "Gains borough," the ''Pompadour," the "Napoleon," and hundreds of others. Miss Sarah Gardner is the accomplish ed milliner in charge and she is assisted by Misses Maggie Burkheimer, Maude Vaughn, Hattie Burkheimer. Katie Bappler, Mary Ittner and others. Aside from the millinery depart ment all the remainder of the store is in gala attire, especially the dress groods and silk counters. The shoe store, in charge of Mr. Lynn Moore, is one of the centeres of display and in the rear is a beautifully decorated and ighted booth which is the cynosure of all eyes. During the evenings of the opening excellent music is rendered! - by a select orchestra, consisting of Prof. W. L. Havely, cornet; Mr. Alfi Yoppj piano; Mr. C. W. Rehder, clarinet, and Mr. Fred. Dock, trombone. A Begin a music box, large sjze, also con tributes to the musical feature, and at intervals a phonograph concert is given in the dry goods department. The opening begins this morning at 10 o'clock and oloses at 10 P. M. Everybody should visit the store, whether to make purchases or not MARRIED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
