William G. White, the pastor OF the Pres

ON Saturday last while James Hoover

fire. Their wives and their aged mother
were the only parties there and when the
flames were discovered the fire had gained
such Roadway as to destroy the entire
building. The ladies barely escaped. one
OF them, in fact. being badly burned. No
thing was saved from the building.

Democratic party in its national conven-
ton. am persuaded that intelligent dis
cussion of the issues involved in the pend
ing contest for political supremacy will
result IN victory for the party which
stands for honest methods in government,
economy in public expenditures and relief
to the people from the burdens of unjust
taxation.
| am not unmindful, Mr.. Chairman of
tie grave responsibilities which attach to
the great office for which have been
named. ] may be pardoned for quoting
in this connection the words of the hon
ored patriot Thomas A. Hendricks, when
officially informed that he had been deSig-
mated by his party for the Vice-Presidency
i'll 1854. He said:
Il know that sometimes tits understood
that this particular office Goes not involve
much responsibility, and as a general rule
that is so. But sometimes it comes to rep
resent very great responsibilities and it
may be so in the near future. The two
parties i'll the Senate being so nearly evenly
divided, the Vice. President may have to
decide upon questions of law by the exer-
else of the casting vote The responsible
ity would then become very great. 1t
would not then be the responsibility of
representing district or state. 1t would
be the responsibility of representing the
whole country, and the obligation would
pC w tHt bLG hIlOlC VI
and that vote when thus cast should be in
obedience to the just expectations and re-
quirements of the people Of the United
States"
WILL WRITE LETTER LATER.
Should it please my countrymen to call
me to this office, the high appreciation of
its dignity and of its responsibilities, as ex-
pressed in the utterances and illustrated in
the public life of the eminent statesman
whom / have mentioned, will be light to
my own pathway.
In the contest upon which we now enter
we make no appeal to the passions, but to
The sober Judgment of the people. We be-
lieve that the welfare of the toiling mill
lions of our countrymen is bound up in
the success of the Democratic party. Re-
cent occurrences in neghboring state
have sadly emphasized the tact that a
high protective tariff affords no protection
and tends in no way to better the cundi-
tion OF those who earn their bread by daily
toll
Believing in the right of every voter to
cast his ballot unawed by power, the
Democratic party will steadily oppose all
Legislation which threatens to imperil that
right by the interposition of Federal
bayonets at the polls. In a more formal
manner, hereafter, Mr.. Chairman, will
indicate by letter, my acceptance of the
nomination rendered me by the national
Democratic convention and will give ex-
preston to my views touching the i'm
portant questions enunciated in its plat
form.

SIX CIGARS FOE a cEsE.

Wilmington Journeymen Cigar Makers
Rolled 5000 Cigars Day in the oIdeu
| Time.
The tobacco business was the subject
of conversation yesterday week at the
| south east corner of Seventh and Shin
ley streets, and Sam Hawkins remarked
that his grandfather was the first man
to have tobacco factory in Whining
| ton.
"Where was it?" the reporter in
quired.
Son Second street, between Shipley
and Orange. It's all built up now. Il
used to be called Tanned Bottom
"My grandfather's name was MCCALL y
| Sam continued. "The tobacco used was
from Kentucky. They made it into
cigars called Commons half Spanish,
and SKIES All the old folks remember
them. Those were the principal ones
in those old days.
"rhey sold IS cents for the 100 and
| four for cent. Sometimes around here
they sold six for cent.
"Many five cents worth of cigars
I've bought on Saturday. We'd get
30 for five cents-a hatfull. Then we'd
all go to the Slellpot fishing.
"Cigar makers in those days would
make 5000 day"
"Three thousand a day?" the reporter
wondered.
"Yes 5000 cigars-a barrel full.
"Oh, nonsenseW
"Yes, it's true. You just step out
and ask Jim Christy. He was around
in those days. I..
"They were all handmade, of course,
They would Just grab the leaves in a
hand full. One roll would make a
cigar. They were called Knife-heads.
The Knife-head was good smoking.
Most everyone smoked them. Anyone
who would smoke a half-Spanish or a
skier was high-toned.
"The lowest price paid now is Sc per
thousand, that is for making cigars.
The highest is $l2. An average man
will make about 800. The fastest is 400
a day.
"They had no moulds in old times.
The cigarmakers just rolled them with
their hands.
Everybody smoked cigars then.
You would hardly see pipe anywhere.
Black tobacco and spun roll was
chewed. They bought the latter by
the yard. l forget how much the yard
cost.
"fhe common cigars were never
packed. They just brushed them up in a
heap of 100, tied them up in a piece of
bass and then wrapped in a piece of old
newspaper. 1t was usually sold for Is
cents.
"The great change in price Of cigars
began about 1859. Manufacturers com
menced improving in the makeup of
the cigar. They went right up in the
war when the duty was put on.
"The B cents cigar of to-day would
have been 3 cents before the war.
"The Principe was the great cigar
along in the SOS. 1t was sold at | cent.
1t was ali the rage in Wilmington. They
were made of genuine imported Cuba
tobacco"

1t Has Proved II Complete Success and n
Great Help to Navigation.

Great Help to Navigation.
Special Correspondenceo OF Gazette and journal
New CASTLE, July q 1.-The Ninn's Point
jetty recently erected in the river opposite
this city by the United States government
at cost of nearly S60GO0, has so far
proven Il big success. Nayigators and
others who are acquainted with the tides
and currents Of the Delaware have pro.
nounced it so, and tug boat captains,
pilots and rivermen in general are highly
pleased.
The eastern channel of the river has
been considerably widened. and the water
III the vicinity of the bullI-head bar has
been deepehed nearly two feet. The strong
current which is caused by the ietty is
rapidly wearing one end of the bar away,
and river steamboats, and SchponerS Of
light draft now glide safely over the bar at
low water. Before the iettv was con-
strllcted it was impossible for 4 boat of
any size to cross the bar 1T low tide. and
frequently larger vessels grounded there
at nearly high water II was then almost
a daily occurrence for one of the large
ocean steamers to ground there and be de-
layed for hours al n time. On several oc-
casions cargoes had to be lightened before
the steamer could proceed on her way
There is no more trouble uf this kind
since the completion Of the ietty, and it
has been six weeks since a vessel has been
stopped by the bar.
Another ietty extending out from Fort
Delaware, for the further improvement of
the channel is contemplated, but it will
not be contracted for this wear owing to a
lack of appropriation. Major RAYMOND
says the route is already SURVEYED.

Mr.. Banta, is to take inquiries from the
members as to any suspected customer

neighborhood seeking all information
he can. He gains q great deal from
other members WHO have already had
dealings with the suspected individual

man referred to added. at is the best
thing of the kind we ever had. 1t is

beginning of the year Manager Banta
has collected for the members from
81 500 to $4,000 of bills that had been
crossed off the books as hopeless"
Among the various Wilmington bhsi-
nesses actually represented by members
attending last night were, hardware,
coal, grocery, flour and feed, paper
hangers, boots and shoes, wholesale
commission and tobacconists.
