k. . twenty dollar-a-week clerk ia
missing in New York. The fact that
he had more diamonds than he could
wear, and sported forty suits of
clothes of the nobby kind, suggests
some connection of these with the
miss.
The Lieut. Governor of Missouri
who wa3 wanted by the grand jury
to testify in some bribery cases, got

It is said that Americans in Paris
bought last year $25,000 worth of
goose liver pie (high livers these
Americans), $28,000 worth of hu
man hair, and $120,000 worth of
mushrooms. Queer combination

A Geneva, N. Y. man has con

along the line.
Living in England seems to agree
pretty well with Mr. Croker, form
erly of New York. A Tammany man
who saw him over there says his
racing stables bring him an income
of $115,000 a year. He seems to be
much interested in the race ques
tion. A Chicago man travelling through
North Carolina noticed that many
of the men he saw at the railroad
Etations had their hands .in their
pockets. Perhaps this struck him
as remarkable because in Chicago
they would be more apt to have
their hands in other people's
pockets.
How is this ? It was asserted
some time ago that Texas oil would
knock out coal as fuel, being cheap
er and better. Now the Gulf Oil
Refining Company, right in the
midst of the oil region, at Beaumont,
has made a contract for 150,000
tons of coal for the next twelve
months, as the oil is too expensive
for fuel. That seems to settle the
question of cheapness between oil
and coal.
$30,000 IN STRAWBERRIES.
Tuesday's Shipments Alone from This
Section Win Brlof Tbat Amount at
Tea Cests New York Prices.
Tuesday's shipments of strawberries
through South Rocky Mount were the
heaviest of the season, having amount
ed to 77 refrigerator c are of S00 crates
each and 1,900 crates by Southern Ex
press, making a grand total of 25.000
crates or 800,000 quarts. The enor
mous shipment gives a fair idea of the
value of strawberries growing to this
section. If the shipments of Tuesday
alone net ten cents per quart to the
growers, $30,000 will come to this sec
tion as the result.

uted as follows: New York, 12 cars

DANIEL QDINL1VAN.
Well Known and Highly Esteemed
Citizen Passed Away Early
Yesterday Morning. -
FUNERAL FRIDAY AT 10 A. M.
Popular With All Classes and a Man
Above Reproach Leaves a Large
PaatOy, to Whoa Deep Sympa
thy of Comnmslty Qoes Oaf.
Mr. Daniel Quinllvan. one of Wil
mington's most highly esteemed and
valued citizens, died yesterday morn
ing at 8:10 o'clock at his home No. Ill
Dock street, after an immediate Illness
of only a week. Monday ami Tues
day his condition gave great promise
of .recovery and hia friends were daily
expecting news that he was out of
danger, therefore the announcement
of his demise came as a great shock to
the community in which he was so
generally admired for his substantial
character and geniality. He suffered
from uremia and although Dra. Bur
bank, Wood and McMillan fgave him
their undivided and most careful at
tention, fate had decreed otherwise
than for hia recovery and he peace
fully passed away with all members
of his family at his bedside.
Mr. Quinllvan was born in the
county of Limerick, Ireland, 53 years
agolaat December and emigrated to
New York when a young man. He
lived there, however, only a short
time and came to Wilmington 34 years
ago. He had lived here ever since
and conducted a horse-shoeing and
farrier business at; which he had
amassed a competency for life,
8even generations before him were
engaged in the same pursuit and hia
only two brothers now living are
similarly engaged. In all business
dealings he was upright, honest, a
man of unquestioned integrity and a
friend aa true as steel.
Deceased was twice married, hia first
wife having been Miss Bridget Troy,
of New York. As a . result of that
union four children survive, Misses
Cecilia, Teresa, Margaret and Mr,
Daniel Quinlivan, Jr., whocame home
Sunday from St. Mary's College, Bel
mont, to be with his father. Mr. Quln-
livan'a second wife waa Miss Annie
Qainlivan, of Rochester, N. Y., and
ahe with four children, the oldeat
eleven years of age, also survive him.
They are Master John, James and
William Qainlivan and little Miss
Annie Quinlivan. There are also left
to mourn their loss an aged mother,
Mrs. Johanna Quinlivan, 92 years
old; one sister, Mrs. Carroll, of Wil
mington and two brothers, Messrs.
Thos. Quinlivan, of Wilmington, and
Mr. Michael Qainlivan,' of New York.
The last named arrived Monday to be
with his brother in hia illness. The
family at large has the sincere sympa
thy of the community in the sad be
reavement.
Mr. Quinlivan was a devoted mem
ber of the Catholic church; had sev
eral times been president of the Hi
bernian Benevolent Society and was
treasurer of the same at the time of
hia death. He had been a director of
the Mechanics' Home Association for
a number or years and was a stock
holder in the Wilmington Under
writers' Insurance Co. He waa pro
nounced in his political views and
had always been a staunch Democrat.
He was a member of the city execu
tive committee of that party when he
died, and his last active duty waa to
visit the polls upon the day of the
primary as a magistrate of the county
and qualify the election officers. He
was one of the main stays of the old
volunteer fire department, and was a
loyal member of the Wilmington
Steam Fire Engine Co. Hia presence
in the community will be missed.'
Solemn Requiem High Mass for the
repose of the soul of the dead will be
celebrated by Rev. Father O. Dennen,
assisted by Rev. Fathers Griffin, of
Raleigh, and George, of Newborn, to
morrow morning at 10 o'clock, and
the remains will be laid to rest in

Is jared as Result ef an Overturned
Limp 1202 Princess Street.
Joe Herring, colored, aged about 45
years, and drayman for the D. L.
Gore Company, of this city, was fa
tally burned by the overturning of a
lamp at his hom, No. 1202 Princess
street, last night - about 10 o'clock.
Hia wife, who was handling the lamp,
was also badly burned about the
body, but will probably recover.
Exactly how the accident occurred
could not be learned last night, aa
Herring and his wife, the only ones
in the house except a few small chil
dren, were suffering ao intensely that
they could give no coherent state
ment The fire department responded
to an alarm from box 54, Tenth and
Market streets, at 10.09 o'clock, but
neighbors had extinguished the flames
when the firemen reached the scene.
Herring is literally burned from head
to foot, and Dr. Harllee Bellamy and
Dr. Mask, the colored phyaician, said
it would be useless to attempt to re
move him to the hospital; that he
could not live until morning. Her
ring's wife was handling the lamp,
and it is supposed that she overturned
it upon her husband or dropped it
near where he waa sitting.

Atlanta Sanitarian Faneral.
Mr. Robert Gates, a young man well
known and highly esteemed in this
city, where he resided until a few months
ago, died at 11:30 o'clock Tuesday
night in a sanitarium of Atlanta, Ga.,
where he had gone for treatment two
months before. Deceased was about 27
yeara of age and waa a son of the late

The new power plant of the OVB. L.

AN AUSPICIOUS EVENT
Flag and Bible Presentation by
the Junior Order of United
American Mechanics.
AT ACADEMY LAST NIGHT.
Ceremonies ef aa Elaborate and Pleasing
Nature Addresses by Or. Geo. T.
Winston, ef Kalelfb, aad Mayor
- flood, of Qoldaboro, N. 6.
i
Altogether fitting and highly ap
propriate ceremonies last evening In
the Academy of Music attended the
formal presentation of handsome
Bibles and United States flags to Hem
en way and Union public schools of
Wilmington, by Jeff Davis No. 6a and
George Washington No. 67, councils
of the Junior Order of United: Ameri
can Mechanics, of this city. There was
keen disappointment early in the day
at the official announcement that
owing to illness In his family, the
Governor could not attend, but In his
stead came the distinguished Dr.
George T. Winston, president of the
A. & M. College, of Raleigh, who was
appointed the official representative
of the Chief Executive and who made
an address that arousedgreat enthu
siasm among the Juniors and their
friends.
When the hour for opening the ex
ercises had arrived, although the
weather was very threatening, the
large auditorium of the Academy was
literally packed from pit to dome. In
the dress circle in seats especially re
served for them, were two hundred
school children, dressed in snowy
white and with happy countenances in
anticipation of the beautiful ceremo
nies, principally in their honor. Upon
the stage, gayly decorated with flags
and national colors, sat the distin
guished visitors, prominent educators
of the city and county, city and county
officials, leading members of the order,
citizens, and Misses Carrie Duffy and
Edith Bather, costumed In lovely
white and representing the schools to
be honored in the presentation. The
children in the dress circle sweetly
interspersed the programme with their
singing of national airs and as a whole
the event was the most beautiful ever
witnessed upon an occasion of the
kind.
The exercises were opened with de
votional services, consisting of read
Ingof a scripture lesson and prayer,
by the Rev. J. M. Wells, Ph. D.,
pastor of the First Presbyterian church.
The anthem "America" was sung with
much spirit by the children and Chair
man William J. Bellamy, of the Ar
rangement Committee, then delivered
a brief but very pretty- address, out
lining tbe significance of the gifts
to the nohooln and enunciating the
principles of the great order, which
he had .the honor, to represent.
"The Star Spangled Banner" was
sung by the children and Chair
man Bellamy, acting aa master of
ceremonies, presented State Councillor
Geo. -E. Hood, the distinguished young
mayor of Goldsboro.
To Mr. Hood fell the happy lot of
formally presenting the tokens in be
half of the Jr. O.U. A. It, of the
State. He captivated the audience at
the outset by saying: "I am a J unior,
because I hate awfully bad ever - to be
a Senior." He then went on to say if
Providence had decreed his birth to
have occurred other than in Goldsboro
and he had been delegated the authori
ty of selecting a place, he would have
chosen Wilmington. He was greeted
with prolonged applause, following
which the speaker paid a beautiful
tribute to the people ft thin city. Mr.
Hood then went on to speak of the
corner stones of tbe order Virtue,"
which Is represented by the white in
the flag; Liberty which the blue In the
flags proclaims and "Patriotism,''
which is announced to the world
In the red. Each of the principles
was enlarged ; upon and with
a graceful bo to each of the young
ladies, he presented to them for them
selves and their fellow students the
handsome tributes of the order to the
public school system of the city.
Miss Duffy responded In behalf of
Hemenway In a neat little speech, ap
propriate and nretty to a degree seldom
attained. Miss Butler responded hrbe-
half of 900 boys and girls and 20 teach
ers of Union school. Her words were
well chosen, pretty and appropriate.
Each of the young ladles was greeted
with tremendous applause.
When the children had rendered
Red, White and Blue," Chairman
Bellamy announced with regret the
absence of the Go vernor and the cause
therefor, but expressed great pleasure
in presenting Dr. Winston, who was
received with many manifestations of
pleasure.
Dr. Winston's Speech.
Dr. Winston spoke for about an
hour In a characteristic speech, empha
sizing the need of industrial training
IntheBoutb. He was in one of his
happiest veins and was frequently
interrupted by applause. At times
his ' appeal was directed to the
children and no audience was ever
more charmingly entertained. At
other moments his words were fraught
with suggestions for older people and
timely observations upon the signs of
the times. He said it was a very great
pleasure to be a governor, evenjif only
for a short time and especially to be as
great a governor as the one he had the
honor to represent upon that occasion.
When the list of past and future gov
ernors Is made up at soma great dis
tant day, he said, and when one is
asked to write some characteristic op
posite the name of . each of them he
fancied that opposite the name of Ay
cock in the foremost rank' would be
the words: "The Children's XJov
ernor." The speaker also said he
felt honored to speak to an order,
the principles of which are virtue,
liberty and patriotism; ao order two
hundred strong in Wilmington, en
rolling 6,000 brava sons In the State
and 350,000 in th United States. He
said one time he endeavored to secure
a list of all the chief products of Wil
mington ; he took down the output of
the saw mills, the railroad shops, the
compresses, the cotton mills aid all
those industries, but as he stood there,
he had thrown away the list and
was willing to concede that the
chief product Is pretty girls. The
chief problem for Wilmington is their
education, and to -that the Junior Or
der is pledged, he was pleased to say.
Coming to Wilmington, he was re
joiced to see plow boys in the field,
putting down the seed; strawberries
ripening and vegetables being pre
pared and hurried to market, but he
was present to sty that the seed corn
of the State' was before him. They
must be trained and developed so that
all the manufacturing plants, the agri
cultural interests, etc., may go for
ward Intelligently. All else is vain
and utterly-useless. Borne one has
said the way to raise a boy is to put
him in a barrel at eight years of age,
fasten in the heads and tighten the
hoops, but leave the bung open. Keep
him there until he is sixteen and then
close up the bung. Dr. Winston then
told stories of pranks at Chapel
Hill, when he was president, and how
an old farmer had made the philo
sophical observation, after a most high
handed breach of discipline: "Let tbe
boys alone, for out of them we've got
to make our men. We have no other
material." There's no happier ani
mal on the globe than the small boy
fryin' s'zi one of these little Spring
fellows, said Dr. Winston. What are
they going to be; what will their
lives be these are the problems of the
age. They are solved but in one - way
public education education for all
that's Democracy, power, liberty,
virtue, humanity, Christianity, love,
patriotism. Individual effort will not
accomplish this; it must be by a com
munity of power, such as we now
have in the public school system. In
dividualism has been the bane of
North Carolina. Great men were
made under this system and the speak
er enumerated aflist of them, but said
conditions were different. The human
organization like that of wood or iron
ia no stronger than its weakest part
and we must strengthen the whole,
are together in building up roads. We
gigantic enterprises, and our nation Is
excelling all others. There is no line
along which we may direct this com
munity of power with hope of greater
return than along educational lines.
The human mind is like a barren
waste, educated to fertility. Illustra
tions were cited in the natural world,
pointing to the great truth. Looking
at the question from any standpoint
the greatest countries have the best
public school system. Prussia re
established her prowess by commenc
ing at the foundation of a good public
school system. Even a dog is no dog
at all unless he Is educated and how
much more true is it of the people?
Dr. Winston devoted the latter por
tion of his speech tola plea for manual
training and said he was glad the
Wilmington public schools had made
a start in that direction. They are
teaching art, drawing and cooking and
hope soon to add a workshop where
boy a may be trained to work with
their hands as well as with their minds
and hearts. This feature has been
neglected and slavery in the South is
probably an excuse for its neglect.
But now is the time to teach little
folks to do things rather than to say
and think things. Teach them to make
things. Reliance upon slavery in
olden times has given the North the
lead on the South in this respect, but
we are rapidly gaining. Let us turn
out the finished product and enjoy, the
fruits of our resources, rather than
depend on others for these important
things. A pound of cotton is worth
9 cents, but manufactured into mer
cerized ahirtlng like some he saw the
boys making'at the A. & M. College
the other day, brought $3. BO per pound.
Dr. Winston next went into labor
conditions to some extent and extolled
the value of training and the applica
tion of science. The Yankee, although
sometimes called stingy, is investing
his money in manual training, because
it paid him to do so. Why should we
not recognize the truth? It takes train
ing. The Yankees never whipped us
in a cavalry engagement in their lives
because it took them two years to learn
to ride a horse. They can now beat
our Southern colleges at football for
the same lack of training, and the
South has them beat to death In orato
ry upon the same principle.
The speaker made a pleasing refer
ence to Chairman Bellamy and Mayor
Hood as his former students and closed
with a high tribute to the Juniors.
The children struck up"Dlxie" when
the applause had subsided and Rev.
Dr. Wells pronounced the benediction.

Editor Z. W. Whitehead, o! This City, the
Recipient of a Beautiful Oold Watch
from the National Lombermeo,
the Southern Lumber Journal, re
turned yesterday from Washington
City where he attended the first an
nual meeting of the National Lum
ber Manufacturers' Association. Mr.
Whitehead at the dose of the meeting
was the happy recipient of a hand
some gold watch and chain, presented
him by the officers and members of
the Association, in the organization of
which he possibly had more to do
than any other one man. . The watch
was given as a testtmonial of the high
appreciation entertained by all of the
valuable services rendered by Mr.
Whitehead and his paper. On the
outside front of the watch Is hand
somely engraved Mr. Whitehead's In
itials, "Z. W. W.," while on the In
side is artistically inscribed: W.
Whitehead. Presented by the Na
tional Lumber Manufacturers' Asso
ciation, April 21, 1903." In his speech
of presentation, President Fosburgh
paid the following tribute to Editor
Whitehead:
"Mr. Whitehead: One of the most
- pleasant and agreeable duties con
nected with this interesting meeting
has been delegated to me. Your
friends, composing the National Lum
ber Manufacturers' Association, can
not permit this meeting to pass with
out showing some evidence of their
appreciation of the time and unselfish
devotion which you have displayed In
behalf of this great work.
"To your efforts last Fall, yourun
untiring zeal, is largely due the result
of celling together the lumbermen of
this country in St. Louis. We feel
that you have done all this work in
our behalf without compensation, and
it is my great pleasure. In behalf of
the National Lumber Manufacturers'
Association, to now present you with
this watch and chain, as an evidence
of our appreciation of the splendid
services which you have rendered."
The Association Is composed of all
the lumber manufacturing associations
in various parts of the United States
and represents already, an annual
output of 12,000,000,000 feet of lumber
and an invested capital of $350,000,000.
Editor Whitehead's paper has been a
stalwart champion of this movement
from the start and to-day it Is not only
recognized aa standard authority upon
all questions affecting lumber, but
has rapidly come to the front as a na
tional publication, being published In
three additions from Norfolk, Wil
mington and Savannah.
