The Lnndsthing, did the right thing when it deeided to let the people of the Danish West Indies say by ballot whether they would ba willing to swap bosses or not. General Chaffee reports that he will discontinue the reconcentrado business. It had stimulated too much opposition in this country and was not panning out satisfac torily, .j We admire the pluck that the little bull showed when he disputed the right of way with a locomotive, but cannot commend his discretion. Ditto for some of our Democratic Senators who sometimes have a boomerang way of hurling remarks. Gen. Chaffee reports that those thirty-five Moro prisoners who were killed while attempting to es cape, were fired upon without orders and that he "regrets the accident." Accidents of the killing kind have been entirely too numerous in that quarters. The Nashville Courier trots out a colored denizen of Tennessee who is 102 years old, has forty-seven chil dren and is now living with his sixth wife. One of the remarkable things about it is that all of his forty-seven children are still living. They are all married and have 140 children. Must be a pretty healthy country around there. Chas. M. Roberts, a jeweller, of Massachusetts, is a candidate for Congress. He bases his claim on the fact that he won, against the combined competition of the craft in Europe, the contraot for supplying the King Edward coronation medals, a $40,000 job. He thinks the proper place for any American smart enongh to do that is in "Congress. A writer in the New York Sun, who has been : nosing aroufld ! and claims to know all about it, says there are some very erroneous no tions about the number and size of millionaire Senators. There are only an even dozen,! the richest of whom is Clark, of Montana, who has to scuffle along on $25,000,000. Hale, of Maine, brings up the rear with a measley little $1,000,000. The New York Sun, which shines for the Trusts rises to remark that "without the support of the Trusts the great American publics in which the President is but one man would find themselves deprvied of one of the greatest economic forces known to modern industry. " And the Republican party, without the support of the Trusts, would find it self deprived of some of its. best backing. j ) CAROLINA DAY OBSERVED BY HEMEN WAY PUPILS. Appropriate aid Very Creditable Exer cises Yesterday Morning Tbe Pro gramme ! Events li Detail. Very elaborate, patriotic and in structive exercises were observed yes terday morning for the fourth conse cutive year at Hem en way School in honor of Carolina Day. The platform from which the ' very admirably ar ranged programme was carried out, was decorated with pine tops and the effect was most fitting and refreshing. The exercises were opened with devotional services led by Mr. James F. Post, the energetic chairman of School Committee No. 1. Upon the conclusion of that part of the programme, Mr. Post addressed the gathering, which comfortably fill ed the assembly : hall, explaining the significance of the day and the partic ular observance then in progress. The exercises by the children gave a partial view, by comparison, of a cen tury's progress in the Btate. Children, representing the several counties, came forward in the progress of the play and gave statistics from their various sections with bits of history and other data of an instructive char acter. Tne progress of education, ag riculture, mechanics, science and other industries was given a perfect re flex. The characters participating were as follows: Seal of State Mabel Bowler. Rubv Wiggs.

Wilmington In one of the prettiest all-round games seen herein some time, Greens boro won from Wilmington yesterday afternoon by the close score of 3 to 3. Mr. McNamara, the umpire, was ex ceedingly kind to the locals in fact too much so to suit the fair-minded and Greensboro won out on merit, assisted by three rank errors of Wil mington, j For the first four innings, both teams gave pointers to the big leagues and each aggregation went up and down in almost its batting order. In the fifth Greensboro opened up the fireworks after two men were down. McKernan was out, third to first And Conneer popped up to second. Poole was given a pass and McTeer followed up the free transportation with a hit over third, which Watson let glide through his legs,1 Poole making a cir cuit of the bases. Cook, next up, went out, short to first. Both teams steadied down in the sixth and goose eggs went up. The locals got in a pretty double in this spasm, second to first Poole, for Greensboro, captured two longtfiies of Hutton and Fisher to centre. In the seventh McGinnis made a pretty catch of MeKernan's fly to deep centre, but neither team scored In that inning. Brown and Dunn for the lo cals got two passes, with two men down, but Mattheson went out second to first ! j ! McGinnis tranced another hlarh flv in the eighth and Wilmington at its turn to bat made its first and only scores. McGinnis flew to second; Dommel singled into left and Hutton was safe on a drive to first which the umpire called a fair ball, but which in reality was a fouL Fisher made a beautiful nit to right which scored Dommel and gave Hutton third. Fisher stole second and Wat son filled the bases on a pass. Lattin bit to second and Watson and himself were doubled oui While the play was in progress and .before Lattin had been put out at first Hutton scored. Manager Kelly protested that Button's run should not count as the run was made while the play was in progress and on the hit of Lattin, the third man out Mr. McNamara claimed other wise and the run was chalked up. Manager Kelly immediately sent in a protest basing' his claim verbally on the "ignorance of the umpire.'' The cranks were wild with the score one in Wilmington's favor but the Kellyites put a quietus on their re joicings in the ninth. Jones singled. over third but was called out for - bat ting out of his order. This led to more words but the umpire stuck to what everybody deemed a just decision an oasis in a desert of other miss-judg menta. so to speak. Huggs received a pass to first and Jones singled to cen tre. It wan there that McGinnis got in some good "head work" and was rather slow in fielding the balL The Grand Old Centre Fielder's stragetie move had its effect for Suggs, seeing the slow fielding made a dash for the home plate, "Mack" saw the runner and an quick as flash, he threw the ball in, and Mr. Suggs was caught between home and third base. Fisher and Mattheson were closing in on him and Fisher lost all his faculties, He drop ped the ball and let In the run. McKer nan singled, over short and Jones came in, giving the visitors their lead. Conneer ended the fun by fanning, Brandt batting for Dunn, flew out to left and Brown straightened out one of Conneer's twisters for two bases to left It availed nothing for Mattheson popped to short and McGinnis flew out to centre. The story of the first four innings is one of quick, , snappy "ups and outs." Watson led off for the locals in the second inning with a beau tiful two-bagger to deep ;- left and went to third on Lattin 'a hit out to first Dunn flew out on a long one to centre but Watson wan too fearful of a quick throw-In and remained on base to see Brown fan a minute later.

One Game Presented To King Kelly's Kritters. "So near, and still so far." They Jakesmithed us in the last paroxysm. The grand stand and bleachers will be filled to-day. Dunn, in the box, was not at his best; and Conneen did not distinguish himself. "Dusty" Miller of Hageratown, Md., has been released. He couldn't make good. The loss of the game in the ninth was enongh to make the G. O. C. F. shed "tears of pearly dew." The Tall Fox of Randolph led in the batting for the Kritters. He made two hits out of four times up. The Durham Bulls are trying their best to butt the Giants off the bridge. So far, honors are easy. The most ludicrous feature of the season thus far is the persistence With which Raleigh claims the pennant "for 1901. The ornithological performers of Wake Court House are roosting high. But if they take many more "straights" they'll fall off their perch. "Everybody walked" yesterday from a point some distance from the railway terminus; but the track has been repaired and cars will go to the shed to-day. The Stab received an instalment of Boylan's Rham Katte Rhymes last night ; but to save it from decomposit ion it had to be placed in cold storage immediately. Manager Bear says he will have music for the rooters at the park to day. The Second Regiment Bank will come over from the Memorial exer cises at Oakdale i The King'j friends were glad to see him on the grounds, tus legs could not do hard work, but his mouth was wide open during the two last paroxysms of the game. McCann will go on the slab for Wilmington today. Brandt will go to right field and Hutton to left Capt Dommell will also re-arrange the bat ting orders A good game is expected. The eighth paroxysm, when the Giants made their two runs, was the exciting feature of the game. Grand stand and bleachers were the scene of enthusiastic demonstrations. Elma Hutton, the new outfielder from Lancaster, Pa., arrived in time to be In the game. He had but little chance to show what he can do. He got a base on balls and made one of the two runs. He made no error. 'Wilmington would have won the game but for the loose playing in the ninth; One of Kelly's Kritters was dodging between third base and the home plate with apparently no chance for escape. Mathesos, who is quick on his feet should have ran him down, early In the play, before he muffed the ball. ! Boylan over with exuberance, the author of "Rhamkatte Rhymes" tele graphs the Stab as follows : "How long have you known me ? We, are the people. The world is ours." It is hard to tell what Billy means. But he has "got 'em" so bad that a co n- mission de lunatico inquirendo has been ordered. Games on Other Diamonds. Nkwbkbn, N. a. May 9.

Woman Came to Town, Flew High and Left Saddenly With a Decidedly Bad After-Impression. A fashionably dressed woman with every evidence of culture and refine ment, very engaging in her manners and representing herself to be the wife of a wealthy New York theatri cal manager, visited Wilmington this week and took her departure from the city suddenly, going north on Thurs day night's train, and leaving behind her evidences that she was either a very clever swindler or the victim of unfortunate circumstances. While here she represented herself to many people as the wife of Lew Field, a member of the firm of Web ber & Field, and said that she came to Wilmington to look into the mat ter of opening a summer vaude ville show here. She registered at The Orton, took various carriage drives about the city, as one only in wealth and position can do, and just before her departure she expressed a desire to do some shopping and went to: Gay lord's Racket store to make her purchases. She bought a number of articles amounting in price to! something over $50. She tend ered the clerk a check for $76 and requested the change, amounting to about $23. Mr. Gaylord, the pro prietor of the store, was busy at the time and not wishing to trouble him, the clerk took the check out, asked an opinion on the validity of the endorse ment, returned to the store and gave her the change. "Mrs. Field" did not return for the goods and when they were sent to her at The Orton, it was found that she had gone. In the meantime, the check which was drawn in favor of a man on the Bank of Au casta. Ga.. and endorsed by "Mrs. Field," came to the eyes of Mr. Gay lord and he immediately telegraphed to find if it was srood. He received the reply that it was not. The "Mrs. Field" was then fast on her way North. 1 Chief of Police Furlong only a few dayn ago received a notification to be on the look-out for snch a woman but h didn't have anv knowledge of the affair until it was too late.
