The Formal Opening to Take Place To night A Fine Band Will Furnish Maele and There Will be a Grand Ball A Splendid Supper Will be Served. Mr. George Campbell's elegant new hotel, which opened informally a few days ago, has already demonstrated its claim to popularity and starts off on a rapid pace in the establishment of a reputation that will sweep from here to the Mississippi. The names of fifty guests decorated the register on Sun day and they speak in extravagant terms of the appoinments of the hotel and Its dellghtfulness, are flattering in their praise of the fare, and are enthu siastic over the admirable hospitality that Mr. Campbell dispenses at this hostelry by the sea. Mr. Campbell has now completed the equipment of his hotel, and the formal opening will take place tonight. A magnificent supper will be the first fea ture, and afterwards there will be a grand ball. The best band in the state will furnish music, and the occasion will be one long to be remembered by all who go down to the "opening." On account of this event there will be a late train from the beach. There is no gainsaying that a great crowd will go down, and that there will be a gay time at the "Seashore" on this oc casion.

Mr. T. W. Wood's Safe Cracked and Bob . bed In Daylight on Sunday Five Other B Places of Business Broken Into -No Clue to the Bobbers Believed to be Boys. Saturday night and Sunday was a busy time for the burglars. On Saturday night between 10:30 o'clock and Sunday morning some one enterd the millinery store of Mrs. E. M. Strock In the second story of the brick building cfi Second street between Market and Dock streets, and robbed the money box of 13 in cash and a note for $60 given to Mrs. Strock by her brother-in-law, Mr. Labon Petersen. Mm. Strock says she closed the store at 10:30 o'clock Saturday night, leaving the cash and note In a small box -which she had placed in a drawer. Before leaving she fastened the windows and doors, but on Sunday morning she found a window (open on the Dock street side, and a ladder leaning against the side of the building. The window sash was broken, and it is be lieved that the burglar reached the window and got in by means of the ladder. The door leading from the store into the hail was found locked but a side door had been forcd open. The cash box, which had been broken open, was found underneath the win dow and near it 20 cents in change was picked up. The police were notified, but there is no clue to the robber. Saturday night, someone also enter ed the barber shop of Churchill Moore on Front street between Market and Dock streets. He" went down to the shop Sunday about 9:30 o'clock and found one of the back windows open. He, however, did not miss antyhing. He thinks it was a small boy that com mitted the deed. On Saturday night a burglar also paid a visit to the store of Adam Brown, col ored, in Front street market. The safe was tampered with but without suc cess. The thief took some change from, the money drawer, and a few cigars from the show case: It is believed that the thief was a boy. On Sunday morning between 11 o'clock and 2 o'clock p. m.. the store on Princess street occupied in the rear by Mr. T. W. Wood as an office and In front by Mr. J. W. Plum mer.Jr., with a stock of confectionaries, was entered. Mr. Wood and Captain J. W. Plummer were in the store dur ing the morning, but the former left about 11 o'clock to go to church and Captain Plummer about 1 p. m. to go to dinner. 'About 2 p. m. Mr. Wood went back to the store and found that his safe had been cracked and robbed. He says, he is not sure whether he locked the safe door or not but it was found opened without any mark of vio lence upon it. The drawers inside the safe, however, had been torn out and prized open, a complete wreck having been made of the interior of the safe, Mr. Wood had a small amount of money of his own in the safe and Mr. J. "W. Plummer, Jr., had $15 in one of the drawers. The thief stole Mr. Hummer's money and $2 of Mr. Wood's change, but left in the floor a couple, of tin boxes containing about $3 in cop pers and silver change. A chissel and a bunch of keys were also found in the floor. It is said entrance was effected through one of the back windows. A dusty old table outside, just under the window, bore a very small track, but if it was a boy that got in. it is be lieved he did so to let in a man. as a bov eould not 'have broken open the iron drawers of the safe. The thief made his exit through the back door and left it open. It was subsequently discovered that someone had entered the real estate office of Mr. W. M. Cumming next door to Mr. Wood, having gotten in at one of the rear windows. The drawers in the office had been opened and the papers thrown into the floor but noth ing was missed. The safe was locked and toad not been interfered with. It was found out that the keys left in Mr. Wood's store had been taken from Mr. Cumming's office. Messrs. C. "W. Yates & Co.'s book store was also entered between 12 m and 5 p. m. on Sunday. The. burglar climbed on a shed at the rear of the store, took a glass from the skylight of the shed and by this means got in side of the shed. He then prized open "one of the rear windows, breaking an oak bar that held it, and got into the store. Two money drawers were smashed but they contained no money. It is not known whether any goods were stolen or not. This, is the third raid on Messrs. Yates & Co., in the past few months. The police worked on these cases yes terday but at last accounts had not got on trail of the burglar. , Some people are constantly troubled with pimples and boils, especially about the face and neck. The ibest remedy is a thorough course of Ayer's Sarsapa rilla, which expels all humors through the proper channels, and so makes the skin become soft, healthy, and fair. A Fine Tug. , The tug Wm. F. MeCauley, Captain J. T. Jacobs, of Savannah, Or., arrived in port yesterday towing . Ithe harks Blenheim and "Daphney, which- came here light to be loaded with naval stores by Messrs.

The Messenger of Sunday has' been more highly complimented than any previous issue ever sent out from this office. Well It might be,' as it was an interesting and newsy one and con tained over 53 columns of reading mat ter, every line of which was set in its own office. The merchant who thinks he is a business man. that does not patronize the paper to advertise hi3 goods, will realize sooner or later that he has made the mistake of his life. A friend informs us that recently he was on a Bay Line steamer and a North Carolinian from another section of the state, remarked to him that Wil mington 'must be on a boom or busi ness increasing. Asked why he thought so, he imniedlately replied: "I judge so, because, have, .such, a good paper. The Messenger.

Tutt's Liver Pills Another Wilmington Boy Who Got There; Mr. R. Clinton Bunting, son of otir. esteemed townsman, Mr. T. O. Bunt- ingrwas receiving the congratulations of his numerous friends yesterday. The cause of it all was that he had received Information from Morehead City that the State Board of Medical Examiners hefore whom he was examined last week; had issued him license to prac tice medicine. The examination was the most rigid the examiners have held In the past eighteen years, and It to all the more creditable to Dr. Bunting that he had only read medicine for two years. He had taken a course at the North Car olina Medical college, at Davidson col lege, and recently graduated from that Institution. e Dr. Bunting will leave shortly to take a year's course of medicine and surgery in Bellevue Medical college, New York city.

Wilmington, N. C, June 14. Editors Messenger: . Will you kindly bring that "blarsted" typesetting machine to account for "bursting" assunder that communica tion on Public Schools in your issue of the 13thJnst., by an earth-quake shock in Calcutta, and further tell him I in tended to say "broad, liberal applica tion of the school law" and not board,' liberal, etc: There are one or two other errors which you must attribute to bad writing. Tour truly, " CAPE FEAR. Note We would like to inform "Cape Fear" and others like him who think type setting machines are respon sible for errors seen in the .papers, that it is a mistake. It is impossible for the machine to make an error. The fault is with the operator in touching the wrong letters on the key board, or with the proof reader In not discover ing it in reading the proof. " A Great Nuisance. Wilmington, N. C, June 14. Editors Messenger: The nuisance of the bad boy upon our Streets is becoming most flagrant. On yesterday morning I saw a citizen dis perse a gang of negro boys who were dejiberately throwing stones across Front street without regard to the pas sengers who were constantly crossing their line of Are. Later in the day I saw a commotion at Mr. ' James Sprunt's residence, caused by a white boy on the street, firing a bullet from an air gun which crashed against one of the window panes. Between the hours of 7 and 8 o'clock I saw a negro boy deliberately heave a stone with all his force against Mr. Eavid Worth's front door. Of course there was no policeman in sight on either occasion, but if Mayor Wright would punish such wretches with just severity it might exert a wholesome influence. MERCHANT.
