'TWAS PYTHIAN DAY.
Carnival and Merchants' Fall
Festival Yesterday Exceed
ed All Expectations.
THE PARADE LAST NIGHT.
It Was a Brilliant Affairs-Crowds the
Most Intense Ever Seen on the
Streets Mont Pelee Eruption
To-Night Fakirs Ousted.
'Twas Pythian Day at the Carnival
yesterday and the best of them all.
The crowds were larger; the people
were in better humor; the weather,
barring a slight sprinkle early last
night, waa more suitable to ouUdoor
amusements; the shows were seen to
better advantage and there was one,
great big, splendid feature to "cap
the climax" the grand K. of P. street
parade last night at 8:30 o'clock.
Reduced rates obtained on all rail
roads yesterday and every train from
the surrounding country only served
to swell the gay multitude in the Car
nival district The crowd down town
last night was the largest ever seen
without qualification.
The Carolina Central, Newborn and
W., O. & A. trains brought in a large
number of excursionists in the early
afternoon and the trains last night
were late because of heavy fair travel.
The A. Sc Y. alone brought down 80
Carnival visitors and this in the face
of the fact that the Cumberland Fair
Is now going on in Fayetteville. To
day the erowds will be larger and
although it seems almost impossible
to break the record of yesterday, it
looks like it's going to be done .
Yesterday there was a hueand cry
raised about the indecency (of certain
sbows on the midway and a delegation
of ministers had started down town to
make complaint to the fair manage
ment, but the Executive Committee
bad already' acted. The shows were
visited and every semblance of im
morality connected with the perform
ance was promptly suppressed. The
K. of P. order stands for no such as
was complained and of the prompt ac
tion of the Executive Committee was
without coercion or Intimidation. The
order upholds nothing immoral and
the 500 Pythians of the city desire
that emphatic assertion. The same
may be said of the alleged gambling
devices the reporter says "alleged,"
because he didn't play any of them
and all such were promptly suppressed
night before last. Yesterday an ef
fort was made to stop the target
shooting, cane and knife racks, etc.,
and they were stopped for a while,
but were later allowed to proceed as
they were unmolested in the Carnival
last year.
Purged and made clean, all the
shows will be open "at the old stand"
to-day as usual.
The parade last night was the most
elaborate ever essayed in Wilmington
and to Chairman Jno. J. Fowler and
his enterprising committee is due un
bounded praise for the happy manner
in which every detail passed off. The
procession was about six squares in
length and moved with mechanical
perfection. Of course the cynosure of all
eyes was the Queen and her maids
of honor, all of whom were elegantly
costumed and carried their honors
gracefully and handsomely. The float
was designed by Richards, the scenic
artist, and was handsomely executed
In Pythian colors. The lighting ef
fect was grand. Under the canopy
was suspended one of the powerful
Kitson lamps of the Turrentine Light
Co., and it was given the personal at
tention of Mr. Frank P. Turrentine,
of Charleston, an expert in that line.
The Queen, Miss Mamie McGirt, wore
an exquisite gown of white silk and the
costumes of her maids of,honor, Misses
Edna Fleet, Isabel Btruthers, Lily
Home, Bella Lawther and Clara Ad-
kins, were none the less magnificent
and in keeping with the handsome
float in which they rode, drawn by
four large milk-white horses with
elaborate trappings and led by four
Nubian attendants in servile dress.
A platoon of police headed the parade
and the start was from Third and
Chesnut streets at 8:40 o'clock. Hol
lowbush's and the Second Regiment
bands came next and discoursed mar
tial airs as the procession moved
gracefully down Third to Red Cross,
to Front and up Front to Orange
street The streets were literally
thronged and the pageant was cheered
to the echo as it passed. Following
the band came Chief Marshal Jno. J.
Fowler and assistants in carriages and
on horseback. Next came the W. L. I;
in command of Capt. Alex, P. Adrian
and the Naval Reserves in command
of Lieuts. H. M. Chase and N. N.
Davis. Then followed the Boys'
Brigade in command of Col. Walker
Taylor and the Queen's float,
escorted by a mounted and uniformed
detachment from the Uniform Rank
P. of P. consisting of Maj. W. F.
Robertson (commanding) and Sir
Knights O. W. Polvogt, W. E. Per
dew, John H. Render, J. J. Hopkins,
and J. P. Queloh. Six little pages in
costume had a place in the float as
honorary escorts. Next in the pro
cession came three hundred or . more
local and visiting Pythians on foot
and bearing torch lights golore. The
Fire Department came next and last
and contributed wonderfully to the
splendid display. There were six
double teams drawing apparatus and
every Wilmlngtonlan felt proud of
their Department in command of
Chief Schnibben as it passed in review.
The Programme for Todsy.
To-day is Mont Pelee Day, so called
for the brilliant display of fireworks
that will take place on the river front
64 1902.
at 8 o'clock to-night Eight o'clock is
the official hour given out last midnight
and is not subject to change, unless
the weather interferes. This display
was secured by the Pythians at an ad
ditional cost of $500, and it will be a
grand affair. It will take place at foot
of Market street from three barges in
the middle of the stream. Every pre
caution will be taken by Chief Schnib
ben and his fire laddies to prevent a
conflagration. A limited number of
seats will be sold by the Pythians at
the foot of the street at 25 cents each,
but to all who choose to stand, the ex
hibition will be free. All the Bhows
will cease operation while the erup
tion is in progress. The steamer Wil
mington will also take a limited num
ber of passengers and move out into
the stream for 15 cents each. The
management of the pyrotechnics re
quests that no vessels come nearer
than 100 yards to the barges. An
extra car load of fireworks for the
eruption came yesterday.
""Yesterday, Chet Baldwin, the bal
loonist, was taken suddenly ill a short
time before the hour for the ascension,
hence that free attraction had to be
abandoned. To-day, however, at 5
o'clock, the ascension and parachute
leap will be made, to the delight of
hundreds. Lotto, the high diver, will
make two of his phenomenal leaps as
a free attraction at 10 A. M. and 10
P. M., Market, between Second and
Third streets. At Front and Market
the free trapeze performances will be
in progress hourly during the day.
At Front and Chesnut the free trapeze
work by the Adams will take place at
3 P. M. and 8 P. M.
The paid attractions will open at
1 and 7 P.M. All Knights, who can
serve as ticket takers, for this after
noon's shows will please report at
Pythian Headquarters at 1 P. M., and
those who will serve at the night
shows wj I report at 7 P. M. Also all
paid ticket takers, who have been
serving, will report at the above
hours.
More As to The Qambling.
In reference to the alleged gambling
devices in operation on the streets
Tuesday the Star learns that the
Executive Committee of the K. of P.
Carnival and Merchant's Fall Festi

same night, and that a special meeting

come aware of the gambling games
going on in the streets, do hereby em
phatically condemn the same, and re
quest the Mayor and Sheriff to sup
press them promptly and effectually."
The request of the Pythians was
promptly complied with by the au
thorities and a vigilant watch is being
maintained to see that the law is en
forced in every particular.
Additions to Carnival Crowds.
The Southern train which arrived
at 12 o'clock last night from Florence
brought about 100 passengers for the '
Carnival. All hotels and boarding
houses, catering to transient patron
age, are full and the Public Comfort
Committee's service will be required
to day to find homes for the visitors
while in the city. Col. Walker Tay
lor is in charge of the Information Bu
reau and to him all applications
should be made. The crowds from the
country are with us for certain by a
"very large majority."

INNES AND HIS GREAT BAND.
Something of the Versatility of the Man
Who Controls and Directs the
Peerless Organization.
Innes, who will be here with his
band, at the Academy Saturday night
is a most remarkable person. Al
though he is recognized as a genius, it
may be said that he "blew himself"
into fame with his trombone. Then,
just when he had attained an .easy
position as toloitt, he quit the busi
ness and started anew in his present
field. Within a 'few years his
band became quite as much of a sen
sation as his solo playing had previous
ly been. Innes is a creative power in
any field. He is forever doing some
thing new. His band occupies a dis
tinctive sphere. Having the capabili
ties of an orchestra through its strange
instrumentation, it still retains the
brilliancy and martial spirit of the or
dinary concert band. When on the
platform directing his bandjlnnes looks
thoroughly musicianly. When off the

Five Reasons Why
The People's Savings Bank is popular with money savers.
First It is a safe bank.
Second It is a bank for all the people, rich and poor, men, women
and children.
Third It is courteous to depositors and aims to 'accommodate them.
Fourth It pays 4 per cent, interest on deposits,' compounded quar
terly. Fifth It invites accounts from all who wish to save or invest money.

rostrum, he looks-like anyone els 3.
He will, off-hand, score an overture,
write a good magazine article, or make
a rattling good after-dinner speech.
These are fortunate faculties, and are
probably due to the fact that his early
struggles compelled him to be his own
business manager, press agent, orga
nizer and band director, all roiled in
to one.
