the company and frequently attested
Its approbation by hearty applause.
The comedy drama, "A Thorough

WILMINGTON, N. CM WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 22.
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Hoa. P. A. Vaaderllp, DIstlogalshed New
York Piasscler, Will Address Baal
aess Mea of Wiloniorton Priday.
The business community of Wilming
ton will have a rare opportunity of
hearing a high-class discussion of
commercial matters at the banquet to
be given by the Chamber of Com
merce Friday night Oct 31st. The
Hon. F. A. Vanderlip will be the
speaker of the evening. Mr. Vander
lip was assistant Secretary of the
Treasury under Mr. McKinley, and
continued to hold the office under Mr.
Roosevelt 80 great was his ability
as a financier that the government
sent him on an extraordinary mission
to Europe to investigate the financial
systems of the various countries of
the continent Perhaps no foreigner
was ever shown the same courtesy and
given such free access, to the finan
cial departments of European coun
tries. Incidental to this mission he also
investigated the industrial and com
mercial conditions of Europe. Short
ly after his return from abroad he re
signed tb position of assistant secretary
to take that of vice president of the Na
tional City Bank of New York, one of
the largest financialinstltutions In this
country, having a cspltal of ten mil
lions of dollars. He has recently is
sued a pamphlet entitled "The Ameri
can Commercial Invasion of Europe,"
which is a summary of the vast
amount of data collected on his trip.
The pamphlet Is a most valuable com
piliation of commercial facts, aud Is
written in an attractive literary style.
Probably no one in this country is bet
ter qualified to discuss the relative
commercial positions of this and Eu
ropean countries, and any subject that
this distinguished gentleman may
take for his theme will both enlighten
and entertain his hearers.
Every business man in Wilmington
should hear Mr. Vanderlip's address.
The privilege is not confined to the
members of the Chamber of Com
merce, but is extended to any outsiders
who may attend by purchasing a ban
quet ticket at regular rate. It Is an
hoaor to the city to have a gentleman
of such prominence in our midst, and
it Js to be hoped that a representative
body of citizens will hear and meet
the distinguished guest
Mr. Vanderlip comes as a business
man and not as a politician.
STE8UNQ MANUFACTURING COMPANY.
Charter Received Yesterday and Organira
tloa Effected by Election of Olficers.
The charier was received yesterday
for the Sterling Manufacturing Com
pany, of Wilmington, recently incor
porated by the Secretary of State with
$10,000 capital, paid in. Last night
an organization of the company was
effected by the election of officers and
directors as follows:
President E. O. Holt.
Vice President J. Walter William
son. Sec. and Treaa. Clayton Giles, Jr.'
Directors E. C. Halt C. C. Cov
ington, Jno. D. Bellamy, Clayton
Giles, Jr., and J. Walter William
son.
As before stated in these columns
the company will manufacture shirts,
overall, underwear, etc., and its
place of business will be over the store
on Water street, formerly occupied
by C. C. Covington & Co. Much of
the machinery has already arrived
and it is expected that operation of
the factory will begin shortly.
At the organization meeting last
night Mr. Holt was chairman and Mr.
Giles secretary. The shareholders
were all represented.
Lining Up The Ballot Boxes.
Yesterday the ballot boxes belong-.
ine to the county were brought up
from the basement of tbe Court House
and are being placed in readiness for
the election Nov. 4tb. This time
there will be fewer boxes than usual.
There are only four for each of the 13
precincts and according to the law they
are all plainly labelled. One of them
is for county and State officers, an
other for the congressional ticket; the
third for township officers and the
fourth for the "judiciary," as Capt
Bob Capps remarked yesterday when
posting on the little steps to guide the
voter. Registration closes Saturday
and unless a voter registers anew this
time, he can't vote in any box. By all
means voters should this week qualify
themselves for suffrage.
Wale Qasrtette That Entertains
In the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium next
Friday night tbe patrons of the Star
Course will have the opportunity' of
hearing a greater variety of music
that is usually offered to a Wilming
ton audience. The Atlantic Sympho
ny Qaartette, It Is said, not only sings
well, but play interestingly on many
musical instruments, such as the ban
jo, banjorine, tubaphones, metal-
phone, harp chimes and metal zylo
phone. Box sheet is now open at
DeRosset's book store and members of
the Star Course should reserve their
seats to-day.
Big Street Railway Bnsiaeas.
The exact count of passengers hand
led bv the street railway on circus day
was completed yesterday. The num
ber was 13,087, breaking all one-day
records, which heretofore were less
than 10,000. The banner car during
the day was No. 25, in charge of Con
ductor Bate-nan and Mortorman Wise.
On that car 1.431 fares were collected
ancLthe crew captured the prize of

Arranged Plan.
THE MEETING LAST NIGHT.
Arrangements Under Way for Wilming
ton's Big Pair Week In November.
Executive Committee la Session
and Enthusiastic Notes.
Two weeks hence Wilmington will
be in the midst of her greatest carni
val. At least that's the indication now
and the nearer the approach of the
event, the harder and more enthusias
t c the Execitlve Committee seems to
go at its work. The- travelling men,
too have aken a commendable inter
est in the undertaking and every
where they . are bidding the . people
come. That their efforts are apprecia
ted is daily expressed by those who
havd the city's interest nearest thejr
hearts.
Last night there was an enthusiastic
meeting of the Executive "Committee
at Carnival Headquarters. Those
present were' Chairman Fishblate,
Secretary Rogers, Maj. W. F. Robert
son, Dr. W. C. Galloway, Capt. T. D.
Mearep, Messrs. B. O. Stone, J. D.
Nutt, J. J. Hopkins, W. H. Yopp, J.
T. King, H. EL Bonitz and W. E.
Perdew. There were also several
chairmen of sub-committees and lay
Pythians who came and went to see
what was going on.
A telegram was read from
Goldsboro saying that with the
addition of the animal show from
Richmond and other features re
cently added, the Layton Carnival
Compang is right up to the standard.
Tbe attractions, when they com? to
Wilmington, will be still further aug
mented by the bast that can be ob
tained from the State Fair the week be
fore at Raleigh.
Tbe purchase of 30,000 bags of con
fetti and other street novelties was re
ported. The Advertising Committee also re
ported that Messrs. A. 8. Holden and
John W. Blomme had just been sent
out as emissaries plenipotentiary to
work up interest in the Carnival, and
to post lithographs and other matter.
Mr. Holden left for points on the Sea
board Air Line and Mr. Blomme went
up the Wilmington and Weldon as far
as Goldsboro. Then he goes down to
Kinston and Newborn, and will work
back this way on the W. and N. rail
road. The Transportation Committee re
ported tbe arrangement of several ex
cursions from Little River, B.C., points
on the upper Cape Fear and from
Southport. The railroads will, of
course, take care of the rest. In this
connection it was suggested that, it
might prove mutually advantageous if
the local wholesale merchants wonld
advertise to their customers in this ter
ritory that on purchases of say $300
during Carnival week, their railroad
fare would be refunded. Baltimore,
Richmond and Norfolk have standing
offers to this effect and it was thought
that the merchants here would at least
bold out . that inducement for one
week.
That the Carnival may receive a
final impetus at the hands of the 500
Pythians in Wilmington, a joint meet
ing of Stonewall, Clarendon and
Jefferson lodges will be held Tuesday
night in the new home over the
Murcbison National Bank. Business
of great importance will be proposed
for transaction.
The Parade Committee through Us
chairman, Mr. John J. Fowler, made
a very gratifying report from his de
partment at the meeting last night
On Wednesday night of Fair Week
there will be an imposing street'
pageant and it is hoped to have the
Uniform Rank reorganized and in
line. Five hundred torch lights have
been ordered for the procession. The
greatest feature of the parade will be
a float bearing the Qneen of the Car
nival and her maids of honor. The
selection of the Queen is by popular
vote and already the contest has be
gun. The plan is outlined in a state
ment by the committee in another
column.
SOME NOTES OF THE CARNIVAL.
Through J. W. Murchison & Co., a
Detroit firm has made a donation to
the Country Store of a handsome cook:
stove.
Through the C. W. olvogt Com
pany M. Cohen & Co., of Richmond,
Va., have donated to the Country
Store one evening shawl, one bed
spread, one plush cape, one flannel
waist, one flannel petticoat, one silver
watch, one satteen underskirt, one
dozen napkins; Weingarten Bros., one
W. B. corset, their best value to be

Co.'s stock.
The Advertising Committee yester
day mailed to every postmaster within
a radius of 100 miles of Wilmington
a handsome lithograph, asking them
to post same conspicuously in their
offices.
No Case Against Negro.
As intimated in these columns yes
terday no case was made out against
the negro suspected of being a pick
pocket and arrested on the circus
grounds Monday. He acknowledged
being a professional gambler and said
the showman who had him arrested
had it in for him because he won all
the circus attache's money. He was
discharged after a private examination
by tbe Mayor and he went his way re
joicing.
Mr. J. A. Murphy, of Atkin
son, N. 0., was in the . city yesterday.

FROM PARADE COMMITTEE.
Announcement of Plan for Selection of
Qaeen of Pythian Carnival and
Merchants' Pall Festival.
in this delightful city, "what's a
sittln' sort o' quiet on the Cape Fear,"
there are more beautiful and capti
vating young ladies to the square
yard than ean be found this side of
paradise. In some way they surely
must be close kin to the Immaculate
daughters of the most patient man,
because history informs us they were
very beautiful. "Borne" is authority
for the statement that "no earthly
court since time began, whether Bib
lical or geological time, could vie with
Wilmington in the glory of its woman
hood."
He lately, as his numerous articles
will show, has been hunting up all
the pretty, expressive adjectives and
adverbs to gratify his praise for the
fair sex, but we confess he can't well
be too extravagant.
Some great writer has proclaimed
that the grandest type of the Cau
casian race lives between the Potomac
and Savannah rivers. We heartily
agree with him; and she's a woman
walking in queenly splendor upon this
terrestial sphere right here in Wil
mington. May she grow in beauty
day by day, and in richness of
character every hour; and may
Southern chivalry see to it that the
white flower of her glory shall be kept
sweet and unsullied for all time. Even
"Bollie" would not be so ungallant as
to name the fairest amid such opu
lency of loveliuiss. Therefore, to de
cide that all important matter, a voting
contest has been started in which
"Bollie"is allowed to vote as many
times as he has five-cent pieces to
spend like the rest of Wilmington
ians, but how many he'll buy only the
angels know "Bollie" doesn't.
The contest started off at a lively
gait last night by a number of friends
espousing the cause of their favorites,
and as handed us the vote stands as
will be seen ia another column of this
issue.
Already there is ginger in the ri
valry, and it will grow spicier as it
proceeds. The voting will go steadily
on from now until Saturday, the 1st
of November, at 11 P. M.
At the close of each day the vote
will be counted and announced
through the press. Boxes to register
the vote have been conveniently placed
at the following places: Crescent
Cigar Store, Gerken's, Miss Cammie
Lord's and Miss Leonora Cantwell's
Dancing Schools, Orton House, War
ren's Candy Store, J. C. Shepard's, J.
Hicks Bunting's, J.D. Nutt's and J.H.
Hardin's and at Kress' Five and Ten
Cent Store. At the end of the con
test the one receiving the highest vote
will be crowned Queen of Love and
Beauty of the great Pythian and Mer
chants' Carnival. The Queen of the
Carniva', attended by her gaily
gowned maids of honor, which she will
select for herself, will occupy a mag
nificent float in the mammoth parade,
and the crowning will take place upon
the Cape Fear river, at the foot of
Market street, and the most wonderful
and dazzling pyrotechnic display at the
beginning of the erupton of Mt.
Peiee. The scene will simply beggar
description, and nothing like it may
ever occur here again.
