A CATCHY SHOE WINDOW. Solomoa'i Store Unlqiety Calls Attention ts Psmoas Whlttemore Polish. At Solomon's Shoe Store, on Front street, there is a catchy window dis played vertising the celebrated Whitte- more shoe polish and dressing. The display occupies two of the large front windows of the store. In the first is a jet black calf, tied by a hemp rope, and an attractive collection or shoes, in the second window is a neat arrange ment of the polishes n all shapes and sizes and a real, live, colored bootblack with a pile of money in a box at his knee. Over the calf in the first window, the display of shoes, the col lection of polishes and the bootblack, respectively, are these catchy signs of explanation: "This is the calf that gives Its hide to make this leather, me unnera pride." "These' are shoss made of the leather to keep the feet dry in any weather.'' "This is the polish that keeps me shoe looking soft and bright and new.'

Hundreds of people Sunday morn Ing visited the scene of the fire which just before- day made almost a com plete wreck of the Atlantic Coast Line passenger station, purchasing agent's and general storekeeper's offices and ware rooms in this city. There is little to add to the story of the fire as al ready printed in these columns. It was nearly 4 o'clock when the flames were finally controlled, but the fire men did not leave the scene -until after 9 o'clock in the morning. Nearly everything in the peculiarly construct ed building, half wood and half brick; was completely destroyed. The greatest loss was perhaps in the offices and stationery department of Mr. F. H. Fechtig, general purchas i"sl.jt?ntjthe system. Millions of oianss, doom and articles or omce supplies were either burned outright or charred too badly for use. The havoc wrought in this office will have a tendency to cause great inconve nience in all departments and along the line of the system, as all agents received their stationery and supplies from that department and from Gen eral Storekeeper Albert H. Creasy. The clerical forces of the burned offices, under the direction of their chiefs, went to work with a will Sun day arternoon and soon had some measure of order restored out of the chaos. Temporary quarters for the Purchasing Agent's Department were secured in the Atlantlo Inn bulldin?. nearly opposite the general offices, on Front street, and nearly .every thing or value rrom the rums was taken there by nightfall Sunday. As little time as possible was lost by Mr Fechtig and it is wonderful how quickly the force was re-organlzsd and commenced work again. The ticket office from which the cabinet and a number of documents were saved, is now temporarily locat ed in the baggage room. The stationery department, which Is in charge of Mr. Marion L. James, is located for the present on Nutt street, in the store formerly occupied by the John A. Turrentine Co. General Storekeeper Creasy has se cured quarters for the present in the freight warehouse of the company. The Stab was in error Sunday in stat ng that Mr. P. H. Walsh was general storekeeper. Since July he has been one of the chief clerks in Mr. Fechtig's office. Of coursa no accurate estimate of the total damage to the property can be arrived at for several days. The est! mated loss to the stores in the building is $10,000, partly covered by insurance n the sum of $3,500. The company carried $4,500 Insurance on the build ing, which is thought to be all of a three-fourth's loss. The origin of the fire is still un known. It started on the second floor in the general storekeeper's depart ment, but did not get into the oil room underneath as was at first supposed from the dense volumes of smoke that poured forth from every available outlet In the oil room were number of barrels of oil and satur ated waste, which fortunately did not take fire. Y. M. C. A. BASKET BALL SEASON. Series of Games Begins To-Nifbt Orapfa- ophone Concert Thasks(irIo(. The devotees of basket ball will be pleased to learn that the game which has given so much pleasure to hun dreds of the people of Wilmington in the put, will again be made a feature of Y. M. C.

A graphophone concert will be given and all the chil dren of the city are invited to be pres ent. No admission will be charged and seats will be free to all children, boys or girls, who attend.

AN APPEAL F0R CflAR,TY- President of Associated Charities Issues Statement to the Public In View of the Approach of Winter. The grave is the end of all. Here ends ail things earthly the grandest schemes, ambition's ladder, the con queror's sword, love's torch, the mar riage altar, the poet's laurels, the rich man's sorrow, woman's beauty, man's strength. "They shall lie down alike in the dust and worms shall cover them." But on the way to this com mon end should we not "look up, and not down, look out and not in, and lend a helping hand?" On the wav there are so many "sadly unfortu nate" ones. The Associated Charities of this citv ha more than two hundred of these on their books. This large roll is carefully and constantly revised by the fifteen superintendents of the fif teen districts into which the city is di vided. Our central office, 215 Prin cess street, open daily, and managed oy our experienced secretary, gives personal , investigation . to each case. mai investigation to each case, still the list of our . worthyjqor s. Though the city, the county;' And. grows. the churches of all denominations, and many generous individuals place in our hands quite a handsome sum annually, it amounts to less than two dollars per month for each of our beneficiaries, with which to Day rent. and buy fuel and food. No city is as iree from beeears at the doors and on the streets, made so by the work of our organization. , We ask the public to give no promiscuous alms, and pledge to see that no worthy one shall surfer. With hie her prices for all the neces sities of life the extremely poor are the nrst keenest sufferers. We expect the demands on us this winter to be unusu ally heavy. We begin the winter with a very small balance in bank. We do not expect to make any personal ap peals du i leave me subject to the dic tates of the individual conscience, to do as the Lord hath prospered each one. We confidently expect to hear from our large list of generous donors-. who have stood so nobly by this work for many years, and we hope the many new residents who have recently come among us, and strangers within our gater, will join us in this labor of love.
