New machinery Coatlor $10,000 Will Be InatsIled'As a Mstter of Precsatioa -nd to Prevent Recnrrence of Uasvoldable Accidents. " "mmmm ' There is no occasion for a conceal ment of the fact that the public is sore ly disappointed at the apparent in ability of the suburban . car 'line o properly handle the traffic to and from Wrightsville beach under pres ent conditions. The fact Is none the less disappointing to the G. R , L. & P. Co., owner of the system, which ap pears to have been pursued relentless ly during the past several weeks by ill luck of the most tantalizing variety. The trouble is due to the burning out of the new transformers which convert the high tension current, which Is sent down from the main station at 10,000 volts, into a five hundred volt current. The crippled coudilion dates from May 34th when an accident occurred at the sub-station of the company at Wrightsville. The inadequacy of the aystem to handle the trafficshowed up badly upon the occasion of the Kins- tonn excursion a short time ago; again on Thursday and still again yesterday afternoon when: it be came necessary to ahut down one of the rotaries In the Wilmington atation until some temporary repairs could be made. Not a wheel under a a car of any sort moved for an hour and a quarter and the city was filled with excursionists wanting to get to the beach and others at the beach wanting to gefto town. General Manager Bkeldlng and the Weatlnghouse electric experts here have been doing all. in their power to remedy the conditions, but It has been found impossible to get things on a satisfactory basis until some new parts are sent from the Westing house works in Pittsburg. The additional machi nery Is promised by June 25th. ' Mr. William W. Randolph, consult ing engineer of the company, arrived in the city Thursday night and Presi dent Hugh MacRae arrived yeaterday morning to look into the trouble. After consultation with General Man ager Skelding it was decided to take important steps to minimize the effect of any possible accidents of a similar nature in future, and orders were placed at once for $10,000 worth of additional machinery ' tobe used simply as spare, or duplicate, parts; so that in case of ( an accident to any one part now in operation this new equipment will ba at once put In its place. Pending the arrival of the new rha- chinery it has been found necessary when travel Is heavy to operate steam excursion trains .on 'the road, and a locomotive haa been se cured from the Atlantic Coast Line for that purpose. The supplementary steam power was used yesterday for the first time. Locomotive No. 123, in change of Engineer Tom Rothwell, was attached to four trailers and as sisted in carrying the excursionists to and from the beach. The Consolidated Company desires to assure the public that the accident which happened is one which was rather unusual and not to be expect ed; but now that it has happened, the company determines to go to much greater lengths than would usually be considered necessary In order to pro vide safeguards in every way, and give to the public the best possible ser vice. TWELVE-ISSWQ BALL GAME. Home Tesm Defeated Yesterdsy by Re tsrsed f oUetlsns Score 2 to 1.

Kernlar Meeting of Cspe Fear Camp of Veterans Lsst Night Memorial Dsy Change Other Business, Etc. Last night's regular monthly meet ing of Cape Fear Camp No. 254, United Confederate Veterans, waa fraught with much interest, the rou tine proceedings having been en livened by reports from the New Or leans reunion and witty anecdotes of things seen and heard at that great gathering by the delegates from this city, among whom were Commander W. J. Woodward, Adjutant A. L. DeRosset and Oapt. T. D. Meares. The erroneous report which went out from Atlanta In regard to Gen. Wheeler's cold reception upon his appearance in his United States army uniform, was denounced in scathing terms as was also its author. The Wilmington dele gates were in position to know to the contrary as to Gen. Wheeler's recep tion by his former comrades, and the report provoked the greatest indigna tion. Commander Woodward, who is on the Finance Committee of Gen. Gor don's staff, saidvthat New Orleans raised $118,000 for the entertainment of the veterans and the same was placed In the handsof the committee for expenditure aa it aeemed best The unexpended balance of $8,500 was turned over to the Louisiana Soldiers' Home. New Orleans wants the reunion again ; New York city has offered to pay the expenses of every veteran who would attend a reunion in that city, and LouiavOle has also made a strong bid for the next meeting. Toe State reunion, it was reported, will be held during July or August of this year, most probably at Greens boro. However, the matter has been left to the committee of which .Oapt. James I. Metts, of this city, ia a mem ber. The Commander reported that great interest is being taken in the further 8outh In the matter of changing Con federate Memorial Day throughout the South to June 3rd, Jefferson Davis' birthday. So far as Cape Fear Camp is concerned, however, the en tire matter was referred to the United Daughters of the Confederacy -with the atatement that whatever ac tion they may take will meet with the cordial acquiescence of the Camp. It is also being suggested In Confederate circles that the next Legislature be asked to make Davis' birthday a legal holiday. The meeting of the camp last night was presided over by Commander W. J.Woodward. A 'record of the pro ceedings was kept by Adjutant A. L. DeRosset and a goodly number of veterana were in attendance. The Ad jutant reported that the Camp had turned'out-ln uniform for Memorial Day and again to attend the funeral of the late Comrade W. R. French. The Commander appointed as the committee on Membership, Comrades W. P. Oldham, Geo. W. Huggins and Tbos, D. Meares. Upon request of Comrade W. L, DeRosset the commander was Instruct ed to suggest to Governor Aycock the appointment of Comrade Geo. W. Huggins to fill the vacancy-on the county pension board, caused by the prolonged absence from the city of Capt. Walter G. MacRae. The Board will now be composed of Comrades W. L. DeRosset, O. M. Fillyaw and Geo. W. Huggins. PRETTY WEDDI5Q IS THE ' COUNTRY. Marriage of Mlas Sodle Mills sad Mr. 6. E. Parker Tfcarsdsj Evening. Located in a picturesque grove of stately pines and. less pretentious oaks stands Masonboro Baptist church, which, was the scene Thursday even ing at 8 o'clock of one of those quiet country weddings which are always Interesting because of their simplicity and their striking contrast td the society weddings of the present day. . The contracting parties were Mr. Columbus Edward Parker and Miss Budie Alice Mills. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Robert H. Hewlett, in the presence of a large number of residents of Masonboro and Wilmington. Miss Lily E. McCarson who, though blind, is an accomplished .musician, was organist, and rendered beautifully the music selected for the occasion.. The bride fa the adopted daughter of Mr.- and Mrs. Benjamin Farrow of Masonboro. She s a pronounced bru ti AttA. netltand handsome, and in her Moore-folaborately trimmed wedding gown of white organdie was "pretty as a pinjc; The groom is tall and handsome, and Is a native of Duplin county, though now a resident of Wilmington. He is a mechanic, skilled in carpentry and work-work generally. He is also en gaged in agricultural pursuits, own-. Ing a fine farm in Pender county, near South Waahlngton. After the marriage ceremony -the happy pair received the congratula tions of relatives and friends and came to the city, where they are. guests of the Central House, 113 Market street Not the least of the attractive lea tures of the day waa the reception given at the Farrow home in the early evening, where an old-fashioned coun try dinner was enjoyed by a "full house." The dinner proper was fol lowed by a second course, consisting of tempting delicacies for the; special benefit ot . those of the gueStr who hare a penchant for the "sweets" ..of life.' The pleasure of the occasion was greatly enhanced by the musical pro gramme so charmingly rendered by Miss HcOarson. - Children's Day exercises, will be observed at the First Baptist church to-morrow night.

EXCURSION DOWN THE RIVER. Visitors Will Be Quests of Capt. Harper This Afternoon Resolutions of Re spect Able DlscRssIoas of :: ' Timely Topics Yesterdsy. The closing sessions of the Teachers Assembly at Wrightsville yesterday were marked by a number of interest ing papers on educational topics and a fine address at night by Prof. P. P. Claxton, of the department of peda gogy at the University of Tennessee. Delegates are already beginning to leave for their homes, but a few will remain for to-morrow, when they will be given an excuraion down the Cape Fear river on the steamer "Wilming ton." Dr. Venable and Prof. Noble left during the day to prepare for the opening of the Summer School at the University Monday, but there are still many prominent members preseut and all are enjoying themselves. Upon the opening of the Assembly ia the morning, the committee ap pointed for that purpose Thursday, reported very feeling resolutions upon the deaths of the late D. H. F. Llnscott, professor of Latin in the University, and O. O. Critten den, professor of pedagogy in Wake Forest College, both of whom were vice presidents of the Assembly. The resolutions were unanimously adopt ed, copies of same ordered spread upon ths minutes, sent to the respective families, the State papers and the trus tees of the Institutions which they so faithfully served. "Modern Language in Secondary Schools," the first number on the day's programme, afforded an interesting discussion, which was led by Prof. J. O. Ranameler, of Trinity College. He discussed the subject from the stand points of time, value and discipline. The time should be early life. A knowledge of the languages is indispensable- to the professional men of to-day the physician, the chemist. French and German are also of great value to the commercial world. , Prof. Ranameler made a strong plea to the teachers to see that the future genera tion is better trained in modern lanT guages than the people of to-day. "School House Building" waa dis cussed in able manner by Prof. E. O. Brooks, of Monroe,, who said the great care now being taken in the construc tion of school houses Is a proof of the interest taken in education by the. peo ple. The first step in modern educa tion is the development of the mind. The environment of the child enter ing school is changed from the free life it has been leading. The change must be made as attractive as possible. For reasons of health the location of schools should be carefully selected. Prof. Brooks discussed fully the ma terial construction of the school house aud gave many valuable suggestions along that line. Mrs. Hollowell president of the As sociation for the Betterment of School Houses, gave an Interesting review of the Association's work and its objects. "The Influence of the Rural Library" was the subject of an able paper by Bupt. R. M. Davis, of Tar boro. The library may have a far reaching effect upon an entire corn community, so care should be taken to choose only good books. The in fluence of good books is Incalculable, a powerful factor in the formation of the character of both child and parent. They enlarge one's capacity for enjoy ment and tend to broaden the mind and increase the mental power. A good book la some times more Influen tial In a community than a good man, therefore only the best books should enter our libraries. "The Library in College Work" was ably presented by Librarian W. S. Bernard, of the University. North Carolina ranks twenty-seventh in the number of Its libraries. Mr. Bernard gave many interesting; statistics re garding the State's libraries. The stu dent reads for all or either of three ob jects: pleasure, culture, research. Each of these subdivisions were treat ed at length, using the University's splendid library as an example. Coupled with the address Mr. Bernard gave much profitable Information re garding the management of a library. One of the finest papers during the entire session of the Assembly was read by Prof. R. D. W. Connor, of Wilmington, upon "Calvin Hender son Wiley and the Common - Schools of North Carolina." The life and ser vices, of that distinguished educator were sketched from the time he as sumed charge of the schools In 18S3 until he laid dowu his work during the days of reconstruction. -His unselfish devotion to the cause, his untiring ef forts and self-sacrifice were lauded. Prof. Connor before closing said such waa the work of the man whose name the teachers of North Carolina are permitting to aink into oblivion. Members of the legal profession are careful to see that the names of Bad ger, Iredell and Buffin are honored; our soldiers see to it that honor Is paid to the names of Nash, Davidson, Pet tigrew and Hill, and In honoring the heroes of their profession they honor themselves and exalt their profession In the eyes of others. Let the teachers follow .their worthy example and rescue f rom the dust of oblivion this name which should shine so brightly in the roll of North Carolina's famous sons. VI do not know," Prof. Connor concluded, how a, man's character and ability are to be measured if it be not by the work ae does in the world. I clo not know how his work is to ba measured if it be not by theeaults it has upon civilization. If these results be for the permanent up-building of the State, the work may be called a great work and the man who does it a great man. If these standards be correct, surely, surely, Calvin H. Wiley deserves to be ranked by the side of Caswell and Macon and Vance. And if he deserved to be so ranked, how can we save ourselves from th just charge of ingratitude, . if we do not see that It is done t" The papers on "How to Keep up the Rural Library," by Superintendent Cochran, of Mecklenburg, and the "Growth of City Libraries in North Carolina," by Superintendent E. P. Moses, of Raleigb, were omitted, owing to the absence of those gentle men. ' The Night Session. Chas. J. Parker, of the Educational Bureau in Raleigb, called the meeting to order at night. Secretary Carmicbael read the fol lowing resolutions, which were unani mously adopted : Whereas, Since the last meeting of the Assembly, Eugene Graham Har rell, the organizer and first secretary the North Carolina Teachera' As sembly, departed this life in ' the ser vice of his country in the Philippine islands. Therefore, be it, i Resolved, That we express our rec ognition of his valuable services to this Assembly and in perpetual memo ry of the same order this resolution J placed on record. in tne epnng oi i.os3, uugene . Harrell having conferred with a num ber of teachera and others interested in education, in North Carolina, issued a call for a meeting for the purpose of organizing an Educational Association. In response to this call a number of teachers and friends of education met at Wrightsville, N. C.r in the Summer of this year and organized the North Carolina Teachera' Assembly for the purpose of stimulating interest in education throughout the State, and bringing together for social inter course and discussion of educational policy, leading citizens of the State and teachers of all grades and kinds of schools. The burden of preparation and management of thia session and of all the earlier sessions of the As sembly was assumed almost entirely by Mr. Harrell, who willingly and en thusiastically gave his time and energies to it. Always courteous and polite, he was untiring in his personal service for the comfort of members of the Assembly and attention to the detaila of man agement. Tne , columns of "his journal, The North Carolina Teacher, were used unsparingly in advertising the meetings .of the As sembly and in reporting its proceed; ings. During the twelve years of his un interrupted service as secretary he waa the moat potent factor in determining ite policy, and for thia reason he de serves to be remembered in connection with the Assembly services to the causes of education." Resolutions of Appreciation. The following resolution was offered by State Superintendent Joyner and was supplemented by remarks from Prof. W. J. Ferrell, of Pee Dee Insti tute, and Prof. Johnson, of St. Paul's Academy, after which it was. unan imously adopted: "Resolved- by the North Carolina Teacher a' Assembly: 1. That we extend to Mr. J. H. Hinton, proprietor of the Seashore Hotel, our hearty thanks for his uni form courtesy and excellent entertain menE 2. That we express to the Wil mington Chamber of Commerce and to County Superintendent Washing ton Catlett our sincere gratitude for their active aid in making this ses sion of the Assembly so pleasurable and successful. , 8. That we desire to thank the rail roads for reduced rates and courtesies and to thank the Wilmington press for its excellent reports of our meet ings." Two Fine Addresses. After ad opting the resolution of ihanxs for its entertainment the As sembly heard with great pleasure splendid addresses by Prof. W. P. Few, of Trinity College, on "Athlet ics In Schools and Colleges," and Prof. P. P. Claxton, on "Universal Educa tion." Both were listened to with great pleasure and profit. Prof. Claxton said he was proud to return to North Carolina and meet the people engaged in the same work in which he was so deeply Interested. Education must be universal. He believed within the next decade all Southern States would give 'freely p the cause of education. What shall be the education - of the masses of the people! Time was when we did not think education be longed to the masses. In Tennessee many people do not believe it neces sary to read and write. But that feel ing is not common now. Formerly those who were educated were in tended only for professions. It was not the purpose of education to take children but of the profession of then fathers, but to relieve them and help them; to educate everybody for some useful work. Some day we will realize that the digging of a ditch, when done well, is worth doing, v He believed music , should be put in the school course. It appeals Jo the emotions of the human heart. We should know the best in art. Not all of us can learn to do it, yet we can learn lb ap preciate if. We should be taught the love and elemental - knowledge of nature; to take interest in streams and fields and - forests, etc. Those things should come in the schools- literature, music, art and nature.
