Sasdsy Schools Cootlased Their Holiday Festivities Wstcb NJtht Services Held-Tokeo of Esteem sad Love for Dr. C. Si. BlsckweU. ;- New Year's eve in Wilmington was perhaps as notable for the number and brilliancy of its holiday enter tainment as the Yule tide iUelf. Many churches and Sunday schools had ap propriate exercises early last evening, and watch-night services were the or der at not a few places as the old yesr later died out at midnight and as the new year came joyfully in upon its passing. The ending of the old and the beginning of the new calendar transpired with much the same obser vance as in former timer, but less elab orate. : .. a The first of the church entertain ments was by the primary department of the First Presbyterian Sunday school, under the direction of Miss Nellie Cook. It took place in Abbie Cbadbourn Memorial Hal), and "con tinued from 4 to 6 o'clock in: the afternoon. There was a Christmas tree for the little folkr, and from its pretty branches they . received can dies, oranges, fruits snd other confec tions. The children also enjoyed a number of gamea and other diver sions. At night, from 7 to 10 o'clock, the older pupils of the school, with a number of their friends, were delight fully entertained at a pretty Xaoas re ception, which was largely attended. A phonograph, which discoursed a number of pleasing selections, was one of Jthe features which gave great pleasure. Befreshments, consisting of ice cream, cakes, etc., : were graci ously served by the ladies. The Me morial Hall for both occasions was beautifully decorated with wild smilax and other evergreens, a Christmas tree In all its beauty having been one of the features., - The First Bsptist Cborcb. We are told In Holy Writ that it is ''more blessed to give than to receive," and it was that spirit which predomi. nated at the annual Anas entertain ment of the First Bsptist church last night The exercises opened in the main auditorium of the building with brief introductory remarks by Dr. Cal vin 8. Black weP, the pastor. Then fol lowed a programme of pleasing Christ mas carols by the children and a con tribution either in kind' or in cash by every child for the Tbomasville Orphanage. These contributions and they were very handsome ones, too were received by Santa Clans, cleverly impersonated by Mr. George E. Left- ich. When the children had finished with their deeds of kindness, old Kris Eringle then repaid them by distribut ing tickets to a delightful spread of re freshments by the ladies in the Sunday school room to which all repaired. One of the most pleasing and fitting inci dents of the night was the presentation through Mr. James C. Stevenson of an elegant silk umbrella, gold handled and suitably , inscribed, and a hand some toilet set to the church's beloved pastor, Dr. Black welL The gifts came from the Sunday school and other friends in the congregation. At Fifth Street M. E. Church. None the less pleasing of the church entertainments was that by the Fifth Street M. K. Sunday school, lasting from 8 to 10 o'clock. The decorations were beautiful and the programme of exercises was enarmingiy ooaerTcu. Bsv. F. M. Shamburger, the pastor, opened . the entertainment with an ap- propriatev prayer and an excellent address. Tnis was followed by songs by the children and the choir. . The welcome in behalf of the school wss by little Miss Miriam Newton, six yeara old, who performed her part with much sweetness and grace. The Little Bell Ringers" was splen didly reproduced by ten little girls who kept time to the music with chimes. .. Miss Maggie Hall delight fully entertained with a recitation, and this was followed by one of the most pleasing features of the occasion a duet, "Star of the East," by Misses Kate Sholar and - Edna Fleet. Miss Elsie Bisley next favored the audience with a recitation, and after a song by the choir, Christmss gifts were dis tributed from a fancy chimney by Mr. M. M. Marsbburn, who cleverly Im personated the holiday-Saint, Santa Claus. 1 The Chspel of the Oood Shepherd. The Christmss entertainment lsst night by the Sundsy tchool of the Chapel or the Good Shepherd, Sixth and Queen streets, was greatly enjoyed by a large number of young folks. Tne exercises consisted of the presenta tion of a very handsome tree, laden with girts and contributed by 8t. James' Sundsy school. The presents were distributed from the tree to the children during the progress of very appropriate Christmss exercises. The Watch-Nlfkt Services, y Among the churches' which ob served watch-night services were Grace, Market Street and the Second Advent. All are reported to have been well attended and the services to have been of an ' appropriate and pleasant character."-' : ;' ". ; Fletcher Flowers, the . colored man ? arrested 'Tuesday; by Deputy Sheriff HolloaYfor the larceny of four bushels of potatoes from a Brunswick county man, was committed by Jus tice Fowler yesterday for the higher court next week. ; Mom WILMINGTON, N. 0., THURSDAY.

I If all indications are correct, the matinee at the Academy of Music Sat urday will be a record breaker. The children seem delighted that they are to get an opportunity once again of seeing "Peck's Bad Boy,? and will, no doubt, literally pack the theatre. If such proves not the case, it will be vastly different from the matinees the company has played in other cities. Crowded houses at both the afternoon and night performancea has been the rule everywhere this popular play has been presented this season. For the engagement here of the "Bad Boy" the prices have been greatly reduced. At the matinee it will be 10 cents for children and 25 cents for adults, and at night the prices will be from 10 to 50 cents. Seats for the night perform ance will be on sale at Plummer's to morrow morning. . .. "Peck's Bad Boy" is too well known to need describing, and it Is also well known that there Is not an unwhole some line in it. It has many compli cations which might be described as "screams," and they are? all most plaus ible, even if they are laughable. .The man who cannot laugb, says Carlisle, "is not only .fit for treasons, strata gems and spoils, but his whole life is already a treason and a stratagem."

Clttiess Employed Ealssat Ceasscl to ' Urf e Thst Uw be RessossUy Cess- Piled With asd Gave Seats ' Dealers Trooble. The special meeting of the Board of County Commissioners for the pur pose of psssing upon application, for liquor license for the six months be ginning: to-day, continued yesterday afternoon from 3:30 o'clock until after 6 In the evening. t . -j Those present at the meeting were Chairman D. McEacbern and Messrs. Gabriel Holmes and H. L. Vollers. It was expected that as a result of a dis cussiou at the meeting of the Minis terial Union Monday, a fight would be made against the issuance of the 61 licenses, previously granted by the Board of Aldermen, but the contest was of a very mild form. It wss suf ficient, -.however, to cause a commo tion among the dealers, who feared that any hold-up of , their applications upon technical - grounds would Inter fere with the resumption of business this morning. : Technical objections however, were not raised and after ex ercising their accustomed diligence to see that all the applications were in proper form, corrections having been made in .those out of order, the Board made arrangements according to law so that all saloons'will be open and do ing business aa usual' to-day. Chairman McEschern, upon calling the meeting to order,) stated its object and CsaidMr. George Bsuntree was present, land desired to be heard in reference to the applications. Mr. Riuntree, without'.calling names, said that he had been employed by certain citizens and, representative ones, too who believed that the law had been heretofore flagrantly violated in pass log applications that were not in pro-par shape according to the law, auctions of which he 'read and inter preted He said neither he nor his clients wire anti-whiskey fanatics and were. not complaining of the law, but asked that it be reasonably strictly en fort ed. "You can never have a pros perous, happy, highly civilized com munity," said Mr. Rountree, "without there is profound respect for the law and in this particular, as in all others, the law should be observed." Mr. Rountree said that he was not falling back on mere technicalities and was not present against the legitimate liquor interest; that in this instance his clients did not desire to create undue trouble for the liquor men, but he desired to call atten tion to what appeared to ba a growing disregard: for the law. He said that according to his construction of the law, both old and new appli cants for license should advertise their purpose of applying for SO days, and explained why that restriction had been placed on the traffic by the Legis lature. He also called attention to a seeming laxity on the psrt of magis trates in qualifying endorsees upon the applications and explained that the signers must be freeholders, residents and taxpayers in the township in which the applicant proposes to do business, and that the signer can legally affix his endorsement to only one application." j - I ; " . Chairman McEachern outlined the policy of the Board in the past in the matter of applications, and Mr. Bonn tree said that the policy thus outlined was the correct one; : - f The applications were theu taken up and . examined separately and carefully, the' eligibility of each endorsee having been inquired into. Nearly half, the batch which came over from the city, were found defec tive. Some endorsers were not free holders; others were freeholders but not residents of the township and vice versa; some had signed twice and oth ers were disqualified for various rea sons. In each instance the defective applications were remanded to the ap plicants and remedied before the meet ing was over. Six or eight that were not remedied before the meeting was over were referred back to the applicants snd the Chairman was authorised by resolution to pass them when they came m proper form. 4 The following applications; having been found in due form were granted : Geo.
