He was in troduced by Frank Thompson, Esq , and was referred to as the logical can didate for the position now held by Pritehard. His friends say if he was worthy to be the Democratic caucus nominee of 1895 to be defeated by Pritehard in the combination of Re publicans and Populists in open ses sion, he is worthy now to be the choice of the Democrats to succeed Pritehard in the glorious days of Democratic triumph, which is but just ahead.

TOBACCO WAREHOUSE HERE. Steps Taken Toward Establishment Naclens for a Stock Company to Launch Movement Will Send Delerstlon to Investigate. For the purpose of considering the establishment of a warehouse in Wil mington and the development of thU immediate territory into a tobacco growing section, the Chamber of Commerce Committee on Industrial and Business Enterprises, to which the matter was referred, held a meet ing yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock in the Exchange rooms oa Water street. The question was fully gone into and a committee was ap pointed to visit leading yellow leaf centres for the purpose of more fully acquainting the local promoters with the management of enterprises similar to the one sought to be established here. Those present at the meeting yester day were Chairman M. W. Jacobi, Messrs. W. E. Worth, Geo. O. Gay lord, J. H. Boatwright and W. H. Brown. Secretary Kyle, of the Cham ber, was also present and kept a record of the proceedings. The chairman read a letter from President Chadbourn relative to the establishment of a warehouse and another from the same source enclos ing a subscription blank to the capital stock of the new enterprise upon which Mr. S. P. MeNair and another prominent business man each agreed to take eight shares at $25 each. Mr. W. E. Worth said from what he could learn it would take from $40,000 to $50,000 to launch the enter prise upon an extensive and profi table scale, but the question was, will a sufficient number of people in this section grow tobacco enough to war rant the market here ? Several ex pressed the opinion that they would; that growers would come to a good market for hundreds of miles around and that many would ship here by rail at the better freight rates enjoyed by Wilmington. Mr. Geo. Gaylord presented in this connection a letter from Mr. Frank Andrews, of B. F. Hall & Co., at Jacksonville, N. O , in which he said he sold tobacco in Kinston on Sept. 1st, and saw other leaf sold by E. W. Dixon, of Onslaw, on the same market at the highest price paid on that day at Knott's warehouse; that W. H. Hurst from the same section of Onslow hauled tobacco 70 miles to Einston. This Mr. Gaylord said, went to prove that not only will tobacco go a long way to a good market, but that this section is peculiarly adapted to growing the better grades of leaf. Mr. Gaylord also made a fine argu ment for the growing of tobacco in the country; people who come here on ex cursions from tobacco sections always bring more money, as is proved by actual sales in the stores. Letters to Mr. Gaylord were read from the Liberty Warehouse, Green ville, N. 0.; Horry Tobacco Ware house Co., at Conway, S. C. ; L. G. Cherry, Conway, 8. C, and several others. These gave a pretty good idea of the inside workings of a warehouse. One of them which sold over a million pounds during September received in commissions $5,205 in addition to weighing and auction fees, which amount to nearly half as much more. The expense for labor, etc., was about $75 per week. The clerical force in cluded a book-keeper at from $60 to $100 per month; an assistant book keeper at from $35 to $50 per month; an auctioneer at from $75 to $125 per month; night watchman at from $30 to $40 per month; ticket marker at from $12 to $15 per month, and a floor manager at from $35 to $40 per month. The committee was very much en lightened by the reading of the letters, but in order that no detail may be omitted, it was decided to defray the expenses of Messrs. W. E. Worth and Geo. O. Gaylord as a special commit tee to go to Goldsboro, Einston, Wil son or other tobacco centres and get the practical working of things. These gentlemen will decide upon the date and place or places for the official visit later. It was adopted as the sense of tho meeting that the committee would do everything possible and as rapidly as possible to develop the movement. Mr. Gaylord submitted samples of tobacco sold lately at the Liberty ware house, Greenville, N. O. Mahogany wrappers sold for 45 cents; mahogany fillers at 16tc; white wrappers at S8c; Lemon wrappers at 62c, and smokers t 14fc. He suggested (hat the tobacco booth in connection with the Carnival be established by all means and off ered the lot next north of his store on Front street as a. suit able place. A Boy Disappeared. Mr. John Welch, the well known butcher on "Castle street, was very much distressed yesterday over the disappearance of his little 5-year-old son from the family residence at Sixth and Castle streets. He was described as wearing a light hat, white waist, blue overalls and suspenders. He has light hair, blue eyes and light com plexion. He disappeared yesterday morning and had not been found yes terday afternoon. You should not fail to attend the grand opening at the BwketStore Jo day and to-morrow, Thursday and Friday.

"If you nave not seen the compli ments showered upon Miss Shay and other members of the Gordon-Shay Gr-nd Opera Company by the Nor folk and Richmond papers in their criticisms of the operas presented in these two cities recently, I wish you would cast your eyes over this bunch," said Mr. Albert, business manager of the Gordon-Shay Co. to a Stab man last evening. "I never have but on a very few other occasions seen the press so unanimous in their praise of a star and her supporting company as they have been over Miss Shay's per formances this season. "Look at this paper, the Richmond News, in flaring headlines on the first page says: 'dhay Replaces Beloved Emma Abbott;' others say she is the equal to Calve, etc. I could go on forever telling you what the critics say in praise of this organization, but I will let you judge for yourself when she comes to the Academy on the 8th of this month. We have a very large and expensive company, consisting of fifty people, carrying our own or chestra and a car load of special scenery." At the Academy To-Night.

Another feature of the performance to-night will be a fine programme of music rendered by the Academy's or chestra, directed by Prof. C. W. Hol lowbush. It will be as follows: 1. Overture.

Galloway, president of the Association, delivered a most cor dial address of welcome to the mem- bars and visitors and during the eve ning a programme of charming music by popular young people was ob served. Mrs. Samuel Jennings Springer beautifully rendered a vocal solo and Miss Norma Foster delighted her audi tors with a violin solo. Miss Corbett gave a splendid rendition of a classical selection on the piano and a quartette from the First Baptist church choir entertained delightfully with two se lections. Secretary Charles Dushan closed the programme with a brief address on Association work which was well received, after which the Ladies' Aux iliary served dainty refreshments in most approved style. The event will go down in Associa tion history as one of the most enjoy able on record. QLENN WILL SPEAK HERE. Overman To-aigbi, Watson Next Wednes day and Qlenn a Week Later.

The Jewish New Year 5663 A. M., or Tishree Rosh Hashanab, as it is more properly called, began with the going down of yesterday's sun and will continue until the same hour to day. Next to Yom Eippur, which comes ten day's later, it is the most im portant festival in the Jewish calen dar and is religiouslyobserved by all good Israelites. The orthodox Jews will observe the third day of the month also. The observance of both days is said to be through an uncertainty as to which is the right day of the two, and the orthodox Jews, rather than ob serve the wrong day, observe both. Saturday, October 11, is the feast of Yom Eippur, or the Day of Atone ment. On this day, as well as on New Year's Day, all establishments con ducted by Jews are closed, and the oc casions are observed as holidays. On October 16 the eight days of the tabernacle commence. While the or thodox Jews celebrate all eight days, the reform Jews celebrate only the first and last day of the tabernacle. During the eight days of the taber nacle some' orthodox Jews live in booths, constructing houses of tree limbs and bush and leaves, and living in the open air, where the constella tions can be observed from their cots. This is to commemorate the passing of the children of Israel through the wil derness. The seventh day of the taber nacle ia known as Hoshanah Rabah. On that day blessings and prayers are offered to plants, trees and flowers, etc. The last day of the tabernacle, observed by all alike, is called She- minu Aserat, and many -observe this day as a holiday. New Year's Day and the feast of Yom Eippur are being and will be gen erally observed in Wilmington with services in the synagogue. OPENING OF THE CITY SCHOOLS. Mr. Connor lias Arrived Industrial and Art Departments for Coming Year. Mr. Ralph D. W. Connor, of Wil son, the new principal of the Wil mington High School, and one of the brightest young educators in the State, arrived in the city Tuesday night, and was yesterday being introduced to the people of his new home by Superin tendent Blair. The High School is fortunate to have secured the services of so competent a principal as Mr. Connor. All the schoceryjoth white and col ored, in the city system, will begin the new scholastic year Monday. This week the teachers and classes are being organized so that on the very first day the vast machinery of the schools will move off smoothly. The art and industrial departments n the schools will receive more than the usual attention this year, an ob ject long desired, but which was im practicable until this season. Drawing will be a featura in all the schools, and each building will have a separate apartment for this purpose. Miss Mary Bernard will teach this branch in all schools north of Market street, and Miss Annie Harrison will teach in the schools south of Market. Ia Justice to Mr. Willis. In speaking of the trial in the Mayor's court Tuesday of the negro who spat from the gallery upon persons in the parquet below the negro's story was given and it was stated that it was very probably true. This was intended to apply to what the negro said of the jammed condition of the gallery and not to his statement as to his perspiring instead of spitting, as Officer D. W. Willis was most positive on that point. Mr. Willis is one of the best and most conservative men on the force and not on any account did the reporter mean to reflect upon his integrity or the truth of what he said about the mat ter. Since he has been on the force he has never made an arrest that was not followed by conviction and that is a record of which he may indeed be proud. Health Department Statistics. The records in the office of the City Health Department show 56' deaths during September 17 whites and 39 colored. Sixty-four births 26 white and 38 colored. One fumigation was made and two quarantines for dipthe ria established. Only two cases of typhoid fever were reported. The trash carts removed 1,156 loads of garbaee and the Health officers made 3,039 inspections. It is confidently stated by those in a position to know that the sanitary condition of the city is the best in ten years. Rev. Mr. Winecoff Bereaved. Numerous friends of Rev. J. E. L. Winecoff, pastor of a group of Pres byterian churches in Columbus coun ty, will deeply sympathize with him in the loss of his devoted wife, whose death occurred at the family home at Whiteville Tuesday. She had been in poor health a long time. She leaves besides her husband two little sons, who with .their father were here yes terday with the remains en route to Concord where the interment will take place to-day.

Last June I read in the Baltimore Sun that during the convention of the National League of Dancing Masters of North America, held in Milwaukee, a new round dance was introduced called the "Five-step," which was prophesied to be the popular dance of the coming season, wishing to seep up with the times, I concluded to earn this dance, and went to Milwau kee in September to take lessons from Prof. Jas. W. Baugert, President of the National League of Dancing Mas ters. I found the "Five-step" so thor oughly attractive that I feel assured that in a short period it will be equax- y as popular as the waltz and two- step. Dunne the lessons, Mr. tsaugert re viewed me in the round dances, fancy dances and exercises, pleasing me vary much by saying I was thorough and up-to-date in my method of teach ing, and asking me if I would' like to join the National League of Dancing Masters. After talking to me on the subject, he said he would send me papers next Marcn ana tnen i couia decide if I wished to join during the next convention, to be held June, 1903, in Atlantic City. While speak ing of my lessons, l will mention tnai Mr. Baugert gave me a method of teaching the waltz, a revised system of which he hopes will be the means of bringing back the true S-time waltz, which has been corrupted for the past few years by the two-step, many peo ple confusing tne two togetner so as not to be able to distinguish them apart. jyov seven years i nave oeen teacn nsr dancing, and as I open my eighth season I realize the truth of the old saying, for eyery class nas under gone a complete change. I will teach a new method of waltzing, the latest round dances, the Two-step, the Dei- war and the Lorraine, also new fancy steps, and last but not least the exer cises which are so very important in developing the muscles in the limbs, thereby caving grace and control. I am giving my teachers Misses Gore and Passano a careful training in the new dances, and we will be glad and ready to teach any one desiring les sons, beginning at 8 :30 to-night. This season I will divide my day class, having a beginner's class, instructions given ;in the round dances,- fancy dances and exercises, and a finishing class in which I will'teach waltz, Two- step Five-step and the German. An opening will take place Friday after noon, Oct 10th,at 4:30 o'clock, to which all mv former and future patrons are invited to send their children. There will be dancing and I will be glad to see my little friends come and enjoy themselves. The first lesson will take place Monday afternoon Oct. 13th. A new piano and the latest music will add to the attraction of my class. Miss Cammie A.
