A State Base Ball League. --.The season is fast advancing now when 1 the public will want to see "ball," and I very'naturally the ball cranks in Wil mington are interested in knowing : "whether or not we are to have any ball here this' season. I !The Messenger takes this opportunitv of suggesting the formation of a State , league, with teams for Wilmington, .Charlotte, - Fayetteville, y Greensboro, Wilson,; Raleigh, Goldsboro, Rocky !

O tiled Meeting of cbe Board of Audit and Finance Yesterday Action on the Bonda of City Clerk BIca Deferred Thi Alder men Asked to Fill the Vacancies on, the.. Board. The Board of Audit and finance met yesterday at 8:80 . o'clock p m., in called session, all the members being in attendance, viz: Chairman Wm Calder ' and Messrs. C. W. Yates, John H. Hanby, J, W. Hewett and H. C. McQueen. Mayor S. H. Fishblate, Mr. Wm. H. Chadbourn,chairman of the Police Board, and City Clerk and Treasurer-elect F. B. Rice were present. The board ordered one poll tax and costs amounting to $3 25 for both to be remitted to David Bryant, Jr , he having paid twice. . j ; The financial statement of the clerk was read, making an exhibit of the re ceipts and disbursements of the city clerk and treasurer for March. : .1 The chairman inquired if the -Mayor, former chairman of the Board of Audit and Finance and the city attorney had answered the interrogative of this board as to the settlement of the cfty clerk and treasurer. The clerk answered, no. In quiry was also made as to the action of the Board of Aldermen on the inquiry as to the balance in the failed banks. The clerk stated that the Boardof Alder men had referred the matter to the finance committee. . - ! Chairman CjaideiTlaid before theTboard the bond of Fj Rice as city clerk and treasurer in the sum of $30,00C for the faithful performance of his duties and to indemnify ! the city in his duty of safely keeping and handling the city funds. The Fidelity and Deposit Com pany of Maryland, of Baltimore, was surety. The validity of the bond, it eeems. rests on the wording of the first clause, which refers to a statement made by the employer (the city) as to the duties, . responsibilities and check upon the treasurer.! Chairman Calder said that as nothing was known of. any state-' ment that may have been furnished the Fidelity and Deposit company, it would be impractical for this board to accept the bond. He suggested that the Fidelity and Deposit company, be requested to furnish a certified copy of any statement that may have! been made to 4 hem on the part of the city. V Mr. Hanby agreed with the chairman Mr. Rice asked if the bond was not ex actly the same as one accepted from Mr. Owen Fennell. the present clerk and treasurer. j . -;. . : The chairman replied 1 that that had nothing to do with this matter. He said this inquiry was in no spirit of cayil about the bond but it was merely to find out what the board was doing in passing on the bond. Mr. Yates moved that consideration of the bond be deferred until a certified copy is furnished by the Fidelity and . Deposi tor Co. under their seal, of the statement in writing relative to the duties and re sponsibilities, etc , of tne employe pur ported to have been made by the em ployer. -'L I The other bond of City Clerk and Treasurer Rice- for the faithful perfor ance of his duties in collecting the taxes was presented. It is in the sum of $10, 000 and the sureties are as follows: M. O'Brien in the sum of $5,000, Emily Tay lor in the sum of f 3,000 and Annie M. Shober in the sum of 2,000. Considera tion of this bond was also deferred until the other one comes up. The official bond of Chief of Police John R. Melton for the sum of $1,000, with L. Vollers'and E. P. Bailey as sure ties, each justifying in the sum of $1,000, was accepted.: The official bond of Capt. JohnCorfan, clerk of the Board of Audit and Finance, in the sum of $300, -with J. W. Atkinson and R. J. Jones as sureties, was accepted. Consideration of the bonds of the mar ket clerks was deferred. The matter of the contract with the Wilmington Gas Light company for lighting the city was called up, and Chairman Calder eaid he thought there was room here for the city to, eave some thing. - The matter wa"s deferred till the next meeting. The board concurred in the action of the B .ard of Aldermen in awarding to Mrs. Jane Sheehan the contract for feeding the prisoners, to E. G. Jones & Co. for feeding the city teams, to Fore & Foster for furnishing lumber, and to S G. Hall forgoing specific printing. Chairman Calder called attention to section 10 of the act creating this board and said that it made it the duty of this board to open to the lowest bidder the contract lor cleaning, guttering or grading the streets, and referred also to sections 2 and 5 of the act creating the Police Board touching the same matter. tie expressed . the belief that the city would save a great deal of money by let ting this kind of work out by contract, and he asked the board to think over it until the next meeting. ! . Mayor Fishblate said he would like to S3e the street work done in this way. Chairman Calder statedthat the Mayor had informed him that the budget of ap- propriauons lor tne ensuing year was about ready, but he tad thought this meeting would be two much occupied with other matters to consider the budget at this time. He, however, sub mitted the following which he recom mended to be sent as a communication to the Board of Alderman: To the Honorable the Mayor and Board of jiutcrmen oj ine uuy oj wumtngton It haying been intimated to this board that the annual budget of appropriations and the accompanying tax ordinance for the ensuing fiscal year which you are required by law to submit to us for approval is about reaay ior presentation, we desire without presuming to encreach upon the preroga tives of your body to respectfully remind you that the ! people who are to pay said taxes, while fully represented on this board and therefore protected so far as our powers go. naye not yei me representation upon your board to which they are by law en titled, the three wards from which the very large majority oi taxes are coiieciea nayinj only one hall oi their usual delegation, an Deing in an actual minority upon your Doarcu i Taxation without due representation be ing repugnant to American Instincts and traditions, we respectfully suggest that the recommendations you may be pleased to make will naturally have more weight if tpey come to us endorsed by a full delega tion or tne representatives of all the people, aiuuy eieciea. . It C yc . m iu.r.. iucvtjueen saia ne thought the po si ion was well taken, 3ut he did not think this board had the right to make the suggestion. . 1 V.:. ". . Mayor Fishblate said the Board of Al dermen would fill the vacancies on the board before the week is out. Mr. Yates moved that the communi cation presnted by the chairman be sent to the Board of Alderman, and the mo tion was adopted.'; ? c ' - The board . adjourned subject to the call of the chair. ' THE WILIJINGTOX M&SSENGEH, YOUNG MAN AN D CHRIST. Twelfth of ihe Series of Dr. Hoge'i Discourses to xotto raeu. The Revi Dr. Peyton H. Hoge, who has been delivering a series of interest ing1 discourses to young men at the First Presbyterian church, concluded tne series on last Sunday night, He took for his subject "The Young Man and Christ," and among other things be said t I would be sorry to know that any one had expected any other subject in con clusion of this series than the one Just an nounced. 1 have endeavored to maxe eacn Hisfinnrsp no-matter how entirely the sub ject might seem confined to the practical all airs oi every-aay me poiub - iu n mi m the only one who could make our liyes what they should be. And it is my greatest joy in looking j back upon this course to know that it has been the means of helping some to choose Him as the Lord and Master And now that we have reached tne ciose lot. na fi r nnT r4z nrwm Him who IS the centre and sum of it all where all its lines converge and in whom all its teachings are gathered together. That we may do tnis iet na nab- two nnest.inns: (1) What Christ has doiiefor Tonne men: (2) What Christ ex- irAna frnm rnnnff THAU. ry- . i 1 V u in Answer to tne nrst questiou x wuuiu v first Christ has riven voune men the nr I it nattom nf Twrfint manhood. There are many other examples that we may fol low in Dart, but onlv He is perfect, lhere a manv characters that we do well to imi mm nur rnnv nenve Lueir Kidueuuo their likeness to Hftn. He only has stood in nil thinra th test of aares. He only can say, "If thou wouldest De peneci ionow me." The spotless Deauty oi me caarnuuci of Christ all will acknowledge without a mnrmnr. but unfortunately there is an im pression upon the minds of men, that it is a character more ior ine emumuuu ui umcu than of men. Whether this be due to the influence of Christian 'art, that almost ai- jvnva renrpsents a face of womaniv tenaer- tioq ,nH heantvr or whether it be due to tne conception that it ia more appropriate to woman to occupied, as He wqs", with the sorrows and tears of our fellow men: or whether it be due to an lenorina; of the com- rjatibilitv between i strength and I ten derness, between courage and sympa thy; or whether it be due to tne iact that most of those among our acquaintance to whom we can bdpIv the term "Christ- like" have been women: tne iact remains that the manly elements of the character of Oh rist have not been so emphasized in our thoughts as the womanly. Of course as the model for the human race ne comDineu both, and I suspect that the real reason that we haye so much ignored tne one is mat we have a wrong standard of manliness, i Our noncention of manliness involves too much of pride, too much of self assertion; too. much of the ' non me tangere." ah tne more reason then that we should be brought back to the. standard of the manliness ot Christ. And if to select a goal of life, and unswervingly press towards it, undeterred by the clamor of mends, unaweu Dy ine threats of enemies, without one single un-' derstanding human heart to-rest upon; if to attack single handed every abuse, eyery sham, every t offence against God and every wrong upon man, no matter now entrenched in power, how hedged with prejudices, how hoary with tradition; if to take up always the cause of the down-trodden, the oppressed, the friendless, and to grant no favors because of wealth, position and power; if to seek one's -friends and helpers with sole reference to the good they would receive and tne good tney wouia ao, regardless of the proscriptions of caste, and the prejudice oi class ano iacuon ii io oe Master of everv assembly whether covet ous horde dennng tne xempie wim meir - . ,Tn ii rr i j 1 ii. lust of gain, or fanatic populace eager to make Him King, or Jewish rabble seeking occasion for His death, or infuriated Ban hedrim making a mockery of the processes of law;, if to stand calm, dignified, sublime before those who had the power over ms life, until as we look back upon the scene He appears more like the' Judge upon the throne than the prisoner at the bar; if to bear all the taunt and shame and anguish that was heaped upon Him, and in bearing to accomplish His own ends, and win the victory He had come to achieve; if this be manliness, then was the life of Christ the manliest life that was ever lived, and must ever remain the perfect and unapproach able pattern of manhood. But not only has Jesus given you the per feet pattern of manhood he has given yoti the onlv secret ot perfect living. ie has not only lived the life before you, but has told vou how He did it. All the world has gone on the principle of getting as the law of life, To pursue happiness, to satisfy the. desires, to gratiiv am bition in snort to minister to self, making self your god and bowing down and worshipping it this is the world's philosophy of living. And this is just why the world has gotten so wrong. This is why with all the splendid achievements of a civilization built upon acquisition, tne shadows are so dark, and every step of progress starts new problems. And this. too, is why those who gain for themselves the best results of self-seeking find the re sult so unsatisfactory why, just as they pluck the long coveted flower, the bloom falls or the fragrance dies. The philosophy of it is simple enough: our getting faculties j , . j a .i! a are ciuggeu aim sanauju wiiii geLimg, auu oar giving faculties are atrophied and dead within us. The man may have gotten all the world, but if his heart is dwarfed and shrivelled within him, he has lost himself. So Jesus reverses ail this. He tells us that the secret of life is not getting but giving; that the standard of greatness is not ruling but serving; thathe who seeks his life loses it. and that only he who loses it in a life of self-denial for others finds it. Man can only attain unto happiness in fulfilling the true law bf his being, and in bringing into excer cise those faculties that are noblest because most like God. And as the fountain keeps fresh only by freely flowing, as the sun shines glorious only by pouring forth its light for all; so man only attains his xlestiny and lives truly, nobly, happily, when he gives as freely as he has received. A skeptical modern philosophy has recog nized this truth and coined it into the word altruism. If they had not ploughed with our heifer they had not found out our riddle. Yet after all they have missed it. For if altruism is a mere philosophy, and. we seek other's good only as a means of securing our own happiness, the selfishness that we have expelled from the front door creeps in at the back. This subtle selfishness is a cut worm at the root, that destroys all the fair flowering promises, of philosophic altruism So Jesus has done something more. He has placed before us an all-sufficient and unselfish motive to live unselfishly in drawing our love and fixing it upon Him self. "In his name" and "for His sake" are terms that mere philosophy has never learned. The constraining love "of Christ and the crucifying power of the Cross are principles it has never attained unto. Few young men have ever lett such an . impress upon the literature of their generation as that nobly gifted young man. Arthur Henrv Hailam, who died in the twenty-third year ot his age, and whose memory Tennyson celebrated in that first tender heart-burst of "Break, break, break," and then in j the longer-sustained; chords of "In Memo- nam" the noblest elegiac poem" in any language. In his brief literary remains, speaking of the Incarnation of the Son of God, he giyes expression to this profound thought: . , . . ... "Here was solved at once the great prob lem whichj30 long had distressed the teach ers of mankind, how to make virtue the ob ject of passion, and to secure at once the warmest enthusiasm in the heart with the clearest perception of right and wrong in the understanding. The character of the blessed Founder of our faith became an abstract of morality to determine the judgment, while at the same time it remained personal and liable to love." And how has He drawn the love of man kind to Himself ? "Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends." The redemptive work of Jesus Christ is the foundation and source of all the benefits that we receive from him. Hedid not die to purchase God's love for you, lor it was tiod's love that freely gave Him Mnf VTa ,T,oA V. lL l- 1 i Z. mm. .But He died that God's loye might have free course and at the same time His characten be maintained. He died that the sinner might be pardoned and yet the moral government of the universe be sustained, He died that law and grace might be recon ciledthat God might be just, and the Jufltifier of all them came unto Him through esus Christ. And that ia how Jesus pur chased your pardon; that is how His blood brings you nigh and reconciles you unto God. That is how it removes eyery barrier on God's -side that kept you from your Father's house and your place in your Father's household. " And in preparing a place for you. He has not lost sight of the necessity of preparing you for that place. When He purchased you for His people, He purchased for you all that was necessary to make you worthy of your high calling and rich inheritance. He pur chased for you the gift of the Holy Ghost. By His power your eyes are opened to "be hold the Lamb of God that taketh away 'the sin of the world:" by His power, and under the influence of that vision, your carnal hearti!which is enmity against God,' is brought into sweet submission to His will: by his grace you are day. by day weaned from the love of sin and the world, estab lished in your purposes of right living, drawn into closer sympathy with the aims of Christ and the ends of His Kingdom, and learn to walk worthy of the calling of the children of God.lt is His power that will keep you from falling and present your faultless before the nresence of His glory J When He undertakes your salvation He undertakes to ... . . . ... T -- make you lixe uifflKu.; suuiKuiig uu , say no more. ' 5 Ana now in turn, wnai aoea um pect of young men? This first, and this , supremely their love. He does not expect anything they cannot render; - He does not . aemana some great war m wimm , power of few; bat He comes to au ano asss what all hays to give "My son. give flie thine heart." He demands your love be cause He is "altogether lovely.1 Not to ad mire the beautiful proves one aencient m taste: not to love the lovelT, proves one lack ing in heart. There are no words eo full of sefi condemnation as the confession that you do not love Christ. "This the condem- nation mac ugnc is cume uu uib uim tu.u men loved darkness rather than light, be cause their deeds were eyiL" 5 And then He demands your love because ne jirsi lovea ytm. We love a dog if it lovea us. We i do not withhold gratitude from the meanest of our kind that has rendered us a Bervice. Ana are our'hearta so cold, so dead, that we feel no responsive throb to that love that brought Him from the Throne of Heayen to the crossof Calvary ? Oh, shall not warmer accents tell The eratitnde we owe To Hun who died our fears to quell - Who bore our guilt and woe I" And then He expects from you imitation. Imitation is the highest homagethat one being can pay to another. When a Doy imitates an older boy, it is his silent meed of admiration. . When a young man imi tates one who has attained success in uiexr business or society, it is the sincerest iorm of hero-worship. And when Christ has given us the perfect pattern of manhood, it is not that we may stand off and admire it as we would a beautilui statue, dut mai we may "trace His master-strokes ana oraw from His design." He gives us the charac ter of God as transcribed in His own char acter, and says "Be ye therefore penect, even as your Father which is in heaven is rfect." This, of course, is the ideal, does not expect us to reach it at a single Dund, or even to attain io " completely in mis me. vvueu , wo place the perfectly rounded cop per-plate copy betore the child Whose clumsv fingers must first be guided "by another hand, we do not expect me copy u be even annroximated until after long ana painful practice. Yet we recognize that the only way tor tnem to attain tne oesi inu they can attain is to make the j standard nerfection. Ko. with the imitation oi unnst. Feebly will we reflect His light, weakly will we tread in His footsteps, but little by little we will grow into His likeness, until at last we shall attain "unto the perfect man unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ." - r ;, . h ;.--.t--;; And then Christ expects of you: obedience. You cannot take Christ as Saviour without taking Him as Master. "If ye love me. he says, "keep my commandments." There are Questions that He has left for human wisdom to answer: mere are proDiems to De solved bv human judgment. But he de mands of His followers this: that where He has spoken His word shall be final. If, we hearken to any other voice then, we dis trust His wisdom and we insult and grieve His love. I f There is one other word that 1 involves love, that involves imitation, and that in volves obedience, but that brings one speeial thought of its own that is consecration. Consecration is a setting apart, "a making sacred to His use, of our i lives. It is the pledging of all that we have and all that we are to His cause. It is what the soldier gives to His commander when he enlists for the war; it is what the wife pledges the husband and the husband pledges the wile, when they join their hands in the marriage vow. You place yourself under His orders to do. to bear or to Buffer, for His sake, and for the sake of his cause, whatever He bids you. You preyent yourself a living sacrifice to do His will, which is your reasonable service. "For we thus iudge that if one died for all, then were all dead; and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. It is clear then that Christ expects of you not merely conformity to his moral law, but service. The church of God is engaged in a great enterprise that He has committed to its hands. It is nothing less than re storing to the earth its lost Paradise; ban ishing sickness and sorrow and suffering and tears from the world, by banishing sin from the world. We believe that this will be done when all hearts have been brought into loyal submission to Christ as King. That is the work to which He calls you. It is a stupendous undertaking, but not so stu pendous as when He first committed it to the hands of a few young men of Galilee Tne church has millions now where it had units then. If instead of the church spend ing its energies to win and; hold its young men, the young men would come with all the vast resources and mighty agencies of this great age, and laving them all at Christ's feet say, "Lord, what wilt thou haye me to do," the rising glories of the com ing day would soon burst roseate from be neath the Eastern horizon. The church is go ing to win in this conflict, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it- The question for you ana ior me is, wui we snare in that victory l unnst stands to-day as oi old, not as a sup pliant, Dut to confer an honor, saying, Whom shall I send and who will eo for us?" May we with loval hearts.: one and all reply, "Lord, here am I, send me." THE CROAT AN IN tISTRESF. She Is Leaking-at Sea Five Feet of Water in Her Hold The Pas sengers Safe.
