NEW BERN MIGHT GET THEM Wilmington Trying HardTo I Induce Player To Go fThere. The Philadelphia National Baseball Club is soon coming South for Wintei practice and are now looking around for a suitable place to spend the winter. So far they have not made their decision and there is a possibility that they could be induced to come to New Bern if the matter was taken up by the Chamber of Commerce and prominent business men. Wilmington is trying hard to get the ball players and will tonight hold a mass meeting to hear the report of two gent lemen who had a conference with the presidentjofjthe baseball club. In re gard' to this meeting the Wilmington Star of yesterday says: "Everybody interested in baseball and those who want to bring Wilming ton to the front as a stopping place for Winter tourists in the South are urg ed to attend the meeting of the citixens held in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. At that time Messrs. C. E. Greenamyer and J. W. Blomme will give a report of their conference with the president of the Philadelphia Na tional baseball club in Philadelphia last Saturday. "They are very much encouraged at the outlook, and believe that if Wil mington business men will get square ly behind the proposit'on that the club will locate their Spring training quarters in this city. In order to do this it will be necessary for local busi ness men to make some financial con tribution but, it is pointed out, they will be more than repaid by the adver tising that Wilmington will receive and the increase of travel to this point that will ome as a result of the "Phil lies" spending six weeks in this vicin ity. "It is believed by many that this will be the first link in getting many Win ter tourists to stop over in Wilmingtoa during the time that they are in the . South. If the baseball club finch the climate to be sufficiently mild to allow them to make this headquarters for their training camp there is every rea son for supposing that many others would be sufficiently impressed to stop here also. "It means further that Wilmington will have a baseball diamond on which games can be played throughout the season. Thenjthe exhibition games that the club will play here will attract many visitors from nearby towns and cities who will come here to see them. And again it means that thousands of lines of press matter bearing the Wil mington date line will be sent out daily by skilled newspaper men which in itself would mean much in bringing Wilmington prominently before thous ands of readers throughout the whole country." If the Philadelphia . ball players could be induced to come to New Bern it would mean much to the city in numerous ways.- One well known citi zen was heard to say yesterday that New Bern could easily afford to give them two or three thousand dollars to spend the winter here and this is true. Now is the time to get busy on this important matter and make the club some agreeable proposition to come here. $25 FOR THE NEW BAND Hereafter First Wednesday In Each Month Will Be Womans Club'Day. (By Mattie W. Moore, Corresponding Secretary.)' The Woman Club held a called meeting in the ClubHouse on Wednes day afternoon at 4 o'clock. The chief business before the club at this meeting was to fill the office of 'President made vacant by the resignation of Miss Hendren. By virtue of the Constitu tion the Executive Board was empower ed to appoint a president and the unan imous choice of the board was Miss Bettie Windley. Mrs. C. R. Thomas, first Vice-President, presided, and in a few well chosen words most graciously presented the new president. Miss Windley took the chair and in her own charming manner thanked the clubfor the honor conferred upon her, saying the deemed it not only an honor but a privilege to be presi dent of this big body of women who have 'accomplished so much. She outlined her conception of the Woman's Club, what it stood for, first for organization, second for progress. The Club gave Miss Windley a riling vote of thanks for her acceptance of the presidency and pledged her hearty support. Upon motion of Mrs. Cha. Ives it wa voted to set apart the first Wednesday in each month to be Woman's Club Day, Instead of having the quarterly meeting held last year. It is hoped in this wsy the interest in the club will be kept awake and more efficient work accomplished. t The Club voted to give the New Bern Band $25 to help defray their expenses. DANIEL HILL GUILTY OF IL LICIT DISTILLING. United State Deputy Marshal Sam uel Lilly hat returned from Wilmington where he went to testify in the cae of the United States v. Daniel Hill, colored, charged with illicit distilling. Hill wa taken into custody several weeks ago by Deputy Marshal Lilly and was to have been tried at the term of Federal Court held in this city, but the case wa transferred to Wil mington. The jury returned a verdict of guilty against the defendant, bi.t he aa not yet been sentenced. GREAT SHORTAGE OF FUEL Supply Of Food In The Markets Is Quickly Sold Bread Free Cleveland, O., Nov. 13. Storm ridden Cleveland today started the work of restoring her activities to their normal status. 'It will be sometime, however, before the work of restoration is complete. Bright, sunshiny weather prevailed and the slightly rising tem perature pointed to a thaw that would assut the workers. Prospects for a speedy resumption of street car traffic were favorable to day. It was also expected that the railroads would rise above the effects of the blizzard and establish commu nication approacjing much nearer to schedule time than yesterday. In the city this morning the Detroit avenue street car line, one of the great traffic arteries of the city, and a few cross town lines were still out of commission. Hundreds of laborer were at work clearing the tracks, how ever, and their reopening is now only a matter of hours. Vessels are able to clear Cleveland port. Life-savers and tugs owner are on the lookout for traces of wrecks on Lake Erie. While the railroads, street car lines and interurban systems are approach ing ordinary conditions, the telegraph and telephone companies will not be able to restore their lines completely for weeks and perhaps even months. Fifteen hundred babies have been without milk for thirty-six hours and prospects of getting any milk into the city are not very good, but of other food except greenstuff, a fairly large supply is on hand. The big milk companies yesterday made sales only to those who wanted it for babies and the greater part of the demand was thus supplied. Factories began shutting down yes terday because of the shortage of coal and they may not be able to open for a week. Retail dealers say a famine of coal for dwelling houses and apart ment houses depends on deliveries which just now are impossible. Triple prices were paid to the few teamsters who would haul produce from the cars in the railroad yards to the central market house and at noon yesterday the supply there had been sold out. "We are trusting to Providence for tomorrow's supply," said one stall keeper, a he sold the last bit of food on hand. Meat, eggs, flour and butter in suf ficient quantities to last several days are in the downtown groceries but in the suburbs where it has been im possible to carry supplies, grocers have almost empty shelves. Failure to replenish yeast supply, inability of employes to get to to work and the difficulty of deliveries h3 brought the bread situation almost to the famine point. Most of the dealers were caught unprepared by the sudden tie-up of supplies. and the city may suffer se verely as a result. Ten plants of the American Steel and Wire Company, employing about 6,000 men, were shut down yesterday evening because of the lack of coal and SO men employed at the Golden Var nish Company were sent home for the same reason. Several smaller plants, not equipped with gas, were forced to close down and many others prob ably will be forced to do so today. Several hundred cars of coal for shipment up the lake are in outlying railroad yards but will be available only in case of extreme necessity. Un der normal conditions the city con sumes about 500 cars a day. The company which furnishes heat for most of the downtown office build ing reports a fairly large supply of coal on hand and the muncicipal heating plant which warms a large part of the east end has teams hauling coal all the time to prepare for emergencies. While in conversation yesterday with Capt. Scales, of the New Bern High School Football Team, the reporter was informed that there will be a foot ball game with the Kinaton High School team on Saturday the 15th, at Ghent Park. The game will be called at 3:30 p. m. The admission fee will be 15 and 25 cents. INMATE OF CRAVEN COUNTY HOME PASSES AWAY. Mits Julia Meekins, an inmate of the Craven county home, was buried in Cedar Grove cemetery yesterday after noon. The deceased was about thirty years of age and passed away at the home on Wednesday night. MISS MARY WARD ARRIVES IN CHINA. A message has been received here ttating that Mb Mary Ward, daughter of State Senator and Mr. A. D. Ward, who left several weeks ago for China, had safely reached her destination. Miss Ward will spend a year in that country vititing with friendt. MANY BARGAINS ARE BEING OFFERED.

For the third time in less than two weeks an accident has occurred on Middle street between Pollock and Broad streets. On this occasion Henry Johnson, a colored laborer, employed by the contractors who have in charge the work of erec ting the Peoples Bank's new home, was yesterday afternoon run down and painfully injured by an automobile owned by William Dunn and driven by Miss Virginia Soverel, of New Jersey, who' is spending the winter with Mr. and Mrs. Dunn. In the automobile were Miss Soverel and Ernest Lassiter, the colored driver, Miss Soverel, who has had little or no experience in driving an automobile, had induced the driver to turn the ma chine over to her. Spectators who wit nessed the accident say that she was driving at a very moderate speed, but seemed to be unable to handle the machine, and when Johnson, who had been sent across the street to loosen a guy line holding up a large derrick in front of the new bank build ing, stepped in front of the car, she failed to bring it to a stop before the mar had been knocked down and dragged for several feet. Johnson was picked up and carried to the office of a nearby physician where an examination of his injuries was made. It was found that he was badly bruised and there were several abrasions on his body, but it is not thought that his injuries are of a serious nature. Time and again have automobiles and other vehicle drivers been warned to be careful while driving on Middle street, which is one of the busiest thoroughfares in the city. The officials have and are doing all within their power to regulate traffic so thit acci dents will be avoided. Although there have been a number of accidents along that section during the past few months, none of these have been fatal, but that such is the case seems miracu lous to those who witnessed the acci dents. New Bern has not yet employed a traffic officer, but many citizens whose lives are at sta'.;e are urging that one- be employed and placed at the corner of Middle and Pollock streets and see that drivers of vehicles have some regard for the safety of ped destrians. REVENUE CUTTER GETS A NEW MEMBER. "Lieut. C. L. Covell, of the j-evenue cutter Seminole has been transferred to the cutter Pamlico stationed at New Bern. He has won many friends white stationed in Wilmington who regret to learn of his transfer. He was executive officer of the Seminole but was in charge a large part of his time. Much valuable service to all vessels in distress was rendered during his stay and the shipping in terests at New Bern are to be congrat ulated upon his being sent there. His transfer brings expressions of genu ine regret from the whole nautical commuinty." Wilmington Star. Nowadays when a man makes a fool of himself he claims htat he was hyp notized. "Why is it that your merchants never have a dull season?" remarked a visitor to the city a few days ago. This is easily explained. The majority of New Bern business men believe in advertising their wares and the star of success never sets on their hori- Edgar S. Weaver, of Pamlico county, says that business conditions all over that county were never in better shape. This is cheering news and shows con clusively that Eastern North Carlolina is the garden spot of the country. Suffering a loss of more than a million dollars a few weeks ago during the storm and flood, the citizens stopped for a moment then went diligently back to their work and are making just a fine a showing at ever before. The establishment of a cotton mill in New Bern would be a great thing in many ways and the business men of the city should assist the promoters of such an enterprise in every possible way. New Bern needs new manufac turing plant and if local captaligts do not show that they are willing to invest their money in such enterpri se, outside capital feel rather uneasy about coming here. It is a commendable move of the leading colored citizen of the city in endeavoring to abolish the disgrace ful habit which some of the women of their race have in carting packages of whiskey through the street of New Bern. It is hoped and believed that they will be successful in breaking up thit practice and this will help to decrease the amount of whiskey brought here from the Virginia, for it is now a violation of the city ordinances for public vehicles to transport whiskey through the public thoroughfare of New Bern, and it i necessary for pa tron of the Southern Expres)Companys liquor "dispensary" to "tote" the "tuff" away themselves. Burrus and Company, dealers in farm implement, will have an expert demonstrator at their place of business, on lower Middle street, Saturday morning to give a demonstration of gang plowing. They extend an invita tion to the public to witness this dam onatration. DAINTY EVENING GOWN M:'JSi:'fc:S2at' H "-'in WW.' ' """"'J"3fcJ8 Model of goffered aatln veiled with embroidered tulle.

Women undoubtedly are using a larger amount of cosmetics than ever before. Time was when a really nice woman would have been horrified at the suggestion that she doctor up her complexion by even a faint applica tion of rouge. And as for powder well, she did consent to fluff a bit on her nose upon special occasions. Today In the boudoir of the average woman you will find tucked away In her dressing table a make-up box that Is as complete In Its equipment aa that of the seasoned actress. There is not only rouge, of the powdered va riety, but a dainty bottle of liquid "rose bloom," which advertises Itself not to come off unless scrubbed away by soap and water. There are Up salves, eyebrow pencils, powders In numberless varieties, perfumed cold creams, and sometimes a thick white wash that masquerades under the name of liquid powder. All these are applied in the course of dressing for the evening and for the daytime, too. The result Is some times bad. For the average woman who uses cosmetics does not know how to put them on. She deceives no one but herself, and at the best la only a good advertisement of artifi cial beauty. At no time does she re semble the real thine, A woman of maturity might be ex cused for trying to hide the ravages of time by the application of rouge and a bit of powder. Even a young er woman of twenty-five or thirty it quite old enough to know whether or not she wishes to help nature by re sorting to artificial aids. But when one sees young girls still In the school room going to their studies with flaming cheeks and over-red lips one begins to wonder where the cos metlo erase la going to end. Inclden tally one can't help speculate as to what the mother of those painted chil dren can be thinking about Are they too busy to see, or too negligent ol their duties to care? Exchange. WAISTCOATS OF ALL KINDS Undoubtedly Will Be a Feature ol the Fall Fashions, and Many Are Really Pretty. The character of peau de peche may also be understood from Its name, meaning "skin of the peach." It hai appeared already in Imported models, notably in the new style of waistcoat which crosses surplice fashion, and fastens with a single large button al the left side of the waist This new vest doe not come below the waist line, but la cut straight around at that point It Is a feature of several of the early Importations of tailored suits and promises to be popular here. In fart, waistcoats of all kinds will undoubtedly be a feature this fall. Women took them up with apparent seat this spring, but they will maka aa even greater appeal with the com ing of cold weather. Those Introduc ed at Easter were in silk or fancy cot ton. Those for autumn and winter will be In cloth or velours, which later fabrlo promises to have an Im mense popularity. Velvet, having printed flowers in color, is now being shown to buyers. It will be strange Indeed If these velvets are not used for waistcoats with tailored suits of cloth or silk. Scarf Sleeve. The scarf sleeve Is a dainty addition to the evening frock. The sleeves, di minutive In length, are formed of chiffon, and each continues in a long scarf, which is caught loosely In the waist The sleeves and scarf ends can be either of the tame color as the rest of the gown or of contrasting figured chiffon, if the gown ia of plain material.

Dr. Cal McCraeken, Former Pennsyl vania Gridiron 8tar, Would Abol ish Secrecy and Declares Against Locked Gates. Dr. J, Cal McCraeken, former grid iron star. In a lecture before the Uni versity of Pennsylvania students, con demned coaches and schools tor the present spy system. Many schools end scouts to spy out the style of games of their opponents, he charged, and declared against this practice as unfair and unsportsmanlike. "If spying out practices are Justi fiable," said he, "why not pay a play er to enter your opponent's Institu tion, make the team and keep you fully informed?" "Such a player might secretly In stall a distograph in the room where blackboard talks are given, and ao be able to sell nightly records to -all his team's opponents." "The members of the faculty of the college or university should realise that athletics are desirable and ab solutely necessary to the best devel opment of the student and stu dent life. If each teacher were fully In sympathy with athletics and athletic contests there would be greater sympathy between teacher and student, less friction and better work done by both. Rosters would be made and examinations set on datea which would lesa frequently conflict with Important athletic events. Athletes would feel their teachers were Interested in their success on the field and this thought alone would do much toward making the students wish to conduct them selves in a manner worthy of the ap proval of their Instructors. "All regularly employed coaches and athletic Instructors should be re sponsible to the university and con sidered regular officers of the insti tution. This would give them greater dignity and security and consequent ly better men could be obtained to fill these positions, which are of great Importance to each Individual student' If so engaged, an athletlo Instructor's position would not de pend more largely upon the general Influence for good or bad which such contests had exerted on the individ ual contestant "Prof. R. Taft McKensle read be fore the National Collegiate Athletic association a paper In which he men tioned, as the most prominent the following four evils of the present day system of athletics: "1. The standard of all perform ances is raised so high that the or dinary student, realizing that he is hopelessly outclassed, gives up play ing the game that he would otherwise enjoy, and that should be kept with in his reach. "2. The competitor is elevated and separated In a special class apart from his fellows requiring separate quarters, special diet and consequent privileges to make the drudgery less irksome. "8. The publicity that accompanies the contests puts them Into the class of public spectacles for which spec tators par to see. and so acoulra cer- tain rights over the players, who be come mere performers. Pressure la thus brought to bear on athletlo au thorities and rules committees to con sider the spectator rather than the man for whom the game should be designed. "4. The winning of the game be comes more Important than the ob servance of the spirit of the law and the practice of fair play. It is the professional motive, which is gain, replacing the amateur motive, which is the thrill of the contest" ' PETER VOLO SETS A WORLD'S RECORD The two-year-old colt, Peter Volo, driven by Tom Murphy, established a new world's record for his age in winning the Horse Review futur ity for two-year-olds at Columbus, O., trotting the first heat in 2:06)4, and coming back in the second In 2:07, both being faster by far than any two-year-old ever trotted be fore. The best previous record for two-year-old was the 1:91 by Na tive Belle In the Kentucky futurity four years ago, Murphy also driv ing the Ally when she established the record. Oldrlng Play Anywhere. Since he joined the Athletics, Rube Oldrlng has played every position on the field except one of the battery places. Thl season he has played gamea la all ef the outfield positions and shortstop. In past years he has played at second, third and first base. He only needs to be allowed to pitch a few balls and catch a few to hare played them all for Mack.
