The Aaonal JXeetlnc Held It Night Offleera Elected -OtherBtulnese. The annual meeting of the Clarendon Yacht Club was held last night In the room of the board of audit and finance. President P. B. Manning onesided, and Mr. C. H. Robinson, Jr.," the secretary and treasurer, read hla annual report. The minutes of the last meeting were read 'and approved. ; The secretary and treasurer read his annual report. The president made bis report, show ing- that the club is in, a satisfactory condition and now has 150 members. The election of officers was declared In order, and the following were elected for the ensuing year: President James F. Post, Jr. Vice President W. A. Dick" ; Secretary and Treasurer C. H. Rob inson, Jr. - Executive Committee Rev. Father DennenDr. W. J. H. Bellamy, W. A Dick and G. H. Smith. ' i After discussion, it was decided to in crease the limit of membership from 150 to 200. The matter of liquidating the indebt edness of the club was discussed at some length, but after many motions had Been. made, and passed upon, the matter was left in. the hands of the ex ecutive comittee. As to the initiation, fee. it was de cided to let it stand as at present, $10. un motion, the by laws were so amended as to allow the wives, daughters and sisters of members to take not exceeding five visitors and three home people to the club; house, Instead of Ave and one, as heretofore.

The Messenger seldom deigns to no tice flings, but one that appeared in The Star yesterday morning makes us too weary 'to pass it by unnoticed. Wilmington Typographical Union No 309, a.n organization composed of practi cal printers in this city, knowing that The Messenger does not how nor ever did employ any but "union" printers. requested us to place their union label in the paper. ! We cheerfully complied with the request, and have no apolo gies to make to any one for doing so. The proprietors of this paper in years gone by were members of Wilmington TypograpHlcal Union, and they are not ashamed of it. We make reference above to the squib which appeared in The Star yesterday in these words: "The Star wears no 'Union' label, but it gives employment to more printers than any other newspaper in Wilming ton." -4 That statement is incorrect, and any One acquainted with the facts will read ily see that it is. The pay roll of The Messenger shows that there are thirty three names on it. It is true that not all ofthese work on the paper, but they work in the establishment, but out of the number engaged exclusively on The Messenger, we can say that they work only eight tand one-half or nine hours per day and make very nearly if riot double that made by some printers we know of, who work fourteen or fif teen hours per day setting type out of empty cases, and for- less wages than they ever worked for before. Whiskers that are prematurely gray or faded should be colored to prevent the look of age, and Buckingham's Dye excels all others In coloring brown of black. Protection for Onr Lumbermen. On the 30th" instant a petition, signed by each of the mill companies of the city, and by representatives of each of I the railroads: running out of here, was sent with a. letter of transmittal to Senator Marion Butler, of the United States "senate commute on organization, conduct and expenditures of the exec utive department. The letter asked 'that he use his in fiuence in support of the petition, which asked for a duty of at least $2 on all Importations of lumber to", the United States. His attention was called to the fact that the material inerests of a very large proportion of our local pop ulatlon ar largely bound up in the question of the" preeperity of our lum ber mills, and the imposing of such a duty would tend directly and very fop cibly toward the revival of prosperity for this section of North Carolina. It is well known that this pofri? was strong ly urged in the senate on Monday. Yes terday the following letter was re ceived, showing conclusively that this petition was given due weight: Washington, D. C.j April 1, 1897 Mr. Chaa. M. Whitlock, Wilmington, N. C: Dear Sir I am directed by Senator Butler to say to you in reply to your favor of the 30th, in which you enclose petition of lumbermen for duty on lunv ber. that he will offer the same as a memorial in the Senate next Monday, Yours truly, Signed F. H. HOOVER, - Private Secretary. To see the Latest Styles in Millinery attend the opening of Johnson, & Fore, No. Ill Market street, tonight. Store open at 8 o'clock. . First Shipment Wilmington Strawberries Mr. R. C. Kennedy, who Is here rep resenting the commission house of Taylor, . Bro. & Co., of Philadelphia, nade the first shipment of Wilmington strawberries on Monday. . They were grown by that successful and enter prising truck grower, Mr.'G. W. -West-brook." The berries were Lady Thomp sons, and- were very fine ones. I I ' : ' , Remember Johnson & Fore's opening tonight at 8 o'clock . - The Penitentiary Farm. Mr. H. R. Holland, superintendent of the state farm, at Castle Haynes, was in the city making purchases yesterday. A carload' of convicts from the peniten tiary, numbering about sixty, arrived at the farm on Monday, and as many more will come on in a few days. Farm ing operations are now in full blast. ' Sd Bereavement. We deeply sympathize with the Rev. and Mrs. K.;3oldt in the death" of their Infant son, 'Carl Theodore, who pass ed away on Sunday afternoon, aged 7 months. The interment was made on Monday in Oakdale cemetery. Lamberton is All Right. ... ' ' Luroberton, N. C, April 4. Editors Messenger: 1 I , noticed in the account of Lumber ton's disastrous fire of Thursday night last as given In your paper of yesterday-, it is stated that there are only four stores left in the town. I beg that yo(U contradict this statement in your next, since we have eighteen stores -still doing business and not touched by the fire of the 1st instance, or the. fire of J anuary 10th. Seventeen of he SPtoes remaining are brick build ings.1 All these stores haves added, to thejr forces, and are doing h, hustling business. : , - S - CITY AFFAIRS. Clerk and Treasurer, ft 11. XUee, Claim Hie Office. City The three republican members of the board of audit and finance of the city of Wilmington caucussed yesterday af ternoon and theoard met in regular session at 3:45 p. m., all the members be ing in attendance, viz: Chairman Wm. H. Chadbourn and Messrs. H. C. Mc Queen, C. W. Yates, H. A- DeCover and John H. Webber. , The clerk, Captain John Cowan, read the minutes of tne last, meeung anu the same were approved. The chairman stated that the election of a clerk would be deferrd. Mr. McQueen said it was very neces sary lor tne Doarq. io uave a. ub, though he.might be elected temporarily. Upon his motion. Captain John Cowan, nrosont fierk. was. elected clerii fc.. r j temporarily. , A communication was received from. the city clerk, F. B. Rice, transmitting a list of the. city officers elected at the meeting of the board of aldermen on Monday. At the head or tne communi cation was this minute: City Clerk and Tax Collector F. B. Rice. Vote, Rice W rour, oiruiners o, three." ! ; When the above minute was read. George Rountree, Esq., ana nerwn McClammy, Esq., asked and were granted the privilege of addressing the board. Mr. Rountree, as spokesman, said they were there on behalf of Mr. Rice, to make the claim that he was duly elected ity clrk and treasurer at the meeting of the board of aldermen on Monday. He then tendered Mr. Rice's official bond in the sum of $20,000, given by the Fidelity and Deposit Com pany, of Baltimore, Md. Mr. Rountree said he had not . had time to examine the city laws at leisure, but what examination he had made failed. to reveal any provision that was contrary to the claim that Mr. Rice had been duly and legally elected, and was entitled to the office, if the board which elected him is itself a legal board. HeJ stated that the Doara or aiaermen jia its meeting on Monday cast four votes for Mr. 'Rice and three votes for Mr. Wm. Struthers, and that Mayor wrignt had thereupon declared Mr. Rice elected. The misunderstanding of the matter and the subsequent action of the board, under the misapprehension that it required six votes, or a majority of the whole board, to elect, did not affect Mr. Rice's election;, the office of city clerk and treasurer is a legislative office, provided for by the act of thfe general assembly. When Mayor Wright declared Mr. Rice elected, Mr, Rice, under the belief that it required a ma ioritv of the whole board to elect, so informed the; mayor, but this was not competent to vitiate the fact of his election. Mr. Rountree then read irom page 91 of the codified acts of the gen eral assembly relating to the city of Wilmington the following: "Section 8. Be it further enacted that the aldermen shall form one board and a majority of them shall be competent to perform all the duties prescribed and have all the powers granted to the al dermen as I a board, unless otherwise provided. ! " . Mr. Rountree said he had found no act which changed or altered that pro vision, and declared that, this beingso, Mr. Rica's election was an election in law and beyond the power of the board of aldermen to change. He submitted to the board that under the provisions W the law, its was empowered with the duty of passing upon the bonds of of ficers elected, and so he asked that Mr. Rice's bond be passed upon. He again called attention to the proposition that any subsequent declaration and action by the board of aldermen after the bal lot had been cast and the vote declared, does .not affect the election. He said there was g. .Massachusetts decision which involved a similar case, and the supreme court of that state held that opinion. He said he would like to read that opinion . to the board, but had not had time to look it up. ... Chairman Chadbourn suggested that the matter be deferred so' the attorneys could present the opinion and other facts baring on the case. Messrs. Rountree and McClammy said there was no objection tothat. Mr. McClammy suggested that the board, when it adjourns, take a recess until 3:30 o'clock next Friday to take up this matter. . On motion, the board decided to meet at 3:30 p. m. on next Friday to con sider this matter and no other. " Mr. McClammy appeared before the board, and stated that A. G. Ricaiid, Esq., receiver of the First National Bank of Wilmington, had brought suit against the city for the recovery of $826.58, This, he said, was a tax on $55, 105 shares of stock listed in, 1890 by H. M. Bowden, the cashier, whereas the re ceiver contends that the bank was not responsible for it,; it being the duty of the holders of the stock to list the stock and pay the tax, Mr. McClammy ex plained that the city's cause in this matter had been in the hands of David B. Sutton, Esq., when eity attorney, but Mr. Sutton having entered the cam paign last fall, turned the case over to him to act 6r the city. He, therefore, appeared before the board to ascertain if Jt authorized him to conduct the case, as it comes; up in the superior court next week. '-,;, The members of the board, deeming that it was the duty of the board of al demen to empjoy counsel, informed Mr. McClammy that they woyld concur in any arrangement he jnight' make with the board of aldermen. The following contracts awarded by the board of aldermen were concurred in: To the Fore. & Foster Company for furnishing lumber to the city; to Mrs. Jane Sheehan for feeding the city prisoners, and "'to S. P. Cowan & Co. Paine s. Celery Compound is the Best World. It makes the weak strong. -We have it. JOHN H. HARDIN.

Evans for $5.50for rent for places to register the votes for the city election - were approved. The bill of James A. Lowrey,' for $10, for the same purpose, wlas referred back to the board of aldermen, as it appears that . the charge is excessive as compared with the other bills. On motion, : the " city clerk was in structed to notify the city officers elect to send in their official bonds for action by this board. ' Bills for the current expenses of the city, to the vamount of $4,531.74, were audited and approved. V' The board then took a recess till 3:30 p. m. next Friday td, consider the mat ter of the election of City - Clerk and ( Treasurer F- Rice and for no other business. - It may save you time and money to be informed that, when you need a blood-purifier, Ayei"s Sarsaparilla is the kind most in favor with the medi cal profession. It is the standard and, as such, " the -only blood-purifier ad mitted at the Chicago World's Fair. That Air Ship. We were twitted and jeered at consid erably yesterday about that remarkable floating light in the heavens which pass ed over our city" Monday night. What it was nobody seems to know definite ly, but that it was something unusual is very evident from the interest mani-; fested by so many of our citizens,. We saw it with our two eyes and, not "through a glass darkly." Whether it was a balloon, or an aerial ship sent up as an experiment by some ingenious inventor we know not, but" it certainly was something unusual and out of the order of things that was moving with such speed among the, heavenly bodies above the earth. Who knows but that Its appearance portends some violent convulsion of nature or that it may be the "avant courier" of the dissolution of this earth, as some there are who contend that the vworld will come to an end in this year ofgrace 1897. Should it prove to be the latter it behooves us all to put our housesNin order and to be ready for the grand conflagration coming upon us, a conflagration in which steam engines will be utterlyspbwerless and ineffect ive, and hook and ladders of no ac count whatever. X . Some people went so far as to say yesterday that they heard the tingling of bells on the air ship.' . Joe Jefferson. . We take it for granted that the opera house will be filled to welcome old Joe Jefferson on his appearance here on the night of the 10th inst., for he is no stranger In Wilmington. In 1850, we think it was, he first came to this city with a company under the management of a Mr. Deering and played here for sometime with great success. That was in the old theatre before the pres ent one was built. The following year in conjunction with John Essler, under the firm name of Jefferson & Essler they opened the season here and play ed every night for a quite a long time, and it was here that Jefferson first es tablished his reputation as an actor and . which subsequently became na tional. He is well and kindly remerbered by the few old citizens who are still living and who will be pleased to greet him once more at the scene of his early triumphs, and who have not forgotton the very pleasant I intercourse they used to have together in the days that have passed, and when they were yunger than they now are. The Gospel Meeting Last Night , 'A problem that has been agitating the churches for some , time is how to reach the masses. Any one who was present at the open air meeting on the streets last night would have said the problem can easily be Solved and that would be by gojjig where the masses are, and one of the places where they are is at Front and Market streets from St to 10 p. m. The crowd turned out by the hundreds to hear the eloquent preaching of-.Capt. Leavett last night, very few leaving . until the services closetd at 18 o'clock. At the close of the meeting quite a. number expressed a 'desire and determination to lead a new life. A number have already come for ward and sub-scribed to the fund for the tent which will be brought here as soon as the fund is complete and which' we trust will be very soon, as these meetings are certainly; doing much good. A meeting will be held at the same place tomorrow night. , The Odd Fellows, , - At the regular meeting of Cape Fear Lodge No. 2, I. O. O. F. held last night. Past Grand A, J, Marshall was elected representative and Past Grand Walker Taylor as alternate to the grand lodge which meets in Charlotte, the second Tuesday in May. Past Grand J. T.

The Jacksonville Times-Union of Monday has the following with refer ence to the tug Alexander Jones: "Sunday morning the Vesuvius . en tered' Cumberland sound" and turned over the tug Alexander Jones to the customs officials of the port. The Jones is from Wilmington, N. C, and orig inally of Southport, N. C. She left her home port a few days ago and did not touch at point along the coast en route to Fernandina. She had planned to successfully elude the officials and would rave made a success had the Cubans of Jacksonville been more diss creet. . . -. --. Individuality Tells. . An expert has said that "advertising that is worth paying for is worth doing well." And it is never done well if it can be done bettei- that is, made more effective for the same 'outlay. Adver tising is like farming there is as much in the man as there is in the land.

Bryan, late democratic candidate for the presidency, called at the White house today with Representative Mc- Millin, of Tennessee, and Attorney General Smythe, of Nebraska, to pay his respects i to his successful rival. They, were immediately ushered . into Mr. McKinley's private office. The president, who was talking with a group of gentlemen, advanced and the president and the candidate shook hands cordially. Mr. Bryan remarked upon the president's apparent good health and the latter spoke of the fact thatrhe had seen by the. newspapers that Mr. Bryan was here to, argue a case before the supreme court. He "also said he had received u copy of - Mr. .Bryan s dook a few days ago, but as yet had not had time to read it. "There is no law which compels you to read it," remarked Mr. Bryan smiling. Af ter further exchange of courtesies and pleasantries, Mr. Bryan retired.

Savannah River on a Rampage Augusta, Ga., April 6. The Savannah river is oh a rampage. It is higher than at any time this year, registering 29.4 feet at 12 o'clock. A rise of twelve 'inches more will flood Hamburg, S. C, across the river from Augusta.

THE PIANO MANUFACTURERS Of America are "bled" to the tune of thousands of, dollars every year for Tesitmonials,'certificates, etc., from "Great Artists" hence they are per fectly worthless,- They simply mislead a public.

Your only safe course is to go to a nouse wnicn is a thoroughly compe-. tent judge of Instruments, and whose reputation is not for sale, whose inter ests are linked with yours and which can never afford to mislead a public.
