Fullmer Club Concert.

At a meeting of the officers and men,
beis OF the Ferd Fullmer Male Chorus
Tuesday night, it was decided to recall all
tickets that had been sold for their con.
cert on Thursday, June 7th, and to issue
new ones, making the concert q campli.
mentary one with small fee for re-
served seats. This was deemed adyisa.
Bile after a thorough canvass among the
members, as it was found that, owing to
the strlngency Of the money market and
the fact that 50 many of the friends of
the club were out Of employment, it
was impossible to dispose Of enough
tickets to insure large audience. BY
the means adopted last evening all the
friends of the club will be able 10 be
present, thus insuring large house.
The members are now distributing the
tickets, and all those desiring to 90 caa
secure the tickets from them. The con.
cert will be iirst-class in every respect.
Mrs. Victor II. Pyle, soprano; Miss Mary
X. Thieiman, contralto, and Miss sara

Down Paving That Is sure IN Lat

During the past week or so workmen
employed by ex-Sheriif Simmons have
been engaged in laying Belgium blocks
on Orange street and King street from
Fifth to the railroad that is far superior
to the old method of paving. The work
is accomplished by coating of sand on
the bed Of the street, after which the
Belgium blocks are laid. and a supply
Of hot gravel and hot pitch poured in
the intercepts. Workmen then ram the
blocks until they become perfectly tight
and durable. The hot gravel and pitch
becomes hard, and after tile blocks are
stiffiy rammed, and coating of dust
placed over the blocks, the paving is
impervious.
This system of paving is believed to
be Tar superior to the old way, both in
point of durability and from SAM.
tartan ndpoiDt. There is no room
left for water or refuse to collect be-
tween the blocks, but on the other hand
all of it is thrown of and carried away.

Ambassador Bayard's happy faculty
Of saving the appropriate thing in the
most graceful way was admirably illus.
;ra,ed in his little af,er.dinner speech
at ST. James Hall, on the occasion Of
tie banquet rendered 10 the American
naval officers in return for gracious
hospitality extended to representatives
Of the British navy on their recent visit
TO the United States. It was a speech
which did credit 10 the occasion, to the
Office and to the man. and Wilmington
is justly proud Of the hoaored son who
represents his nStion with such ability
and uFbanity at the British capital How
insuferably small the implied sneer Of
the Morning Ners at "toadying speeches
sounds, even in the ears OF Mr.. Bayard's
political sdversaries, let the following
tribute, from the New, York tribune,
attest:
ThegoOd feeling expressed in the decora-
tive notices, toasts and speeches will en-.
kindle a responsive glow Of enthusiasm
Wherever the telegrapGic accounts Of the
banquet are read by patriotic Americans.
The two great branches Of the English
speaking race are bound together by ties Of
blood and by that order Of progress which
j Heavens first law IN the moral world.
The destiny which oyershadows them en-
ables them TO work ont the highest ends Of
civilization without disturbance froin
memories of two military and naval wars.
lrresis,ib.y England and the
nited states have been drawn together by
L common origin, language and interests
and By the forces Of mora progress. The
London banquet tends 10 promote sym
pathetic recognition Of these natural bonds
! Of fellowship, and ii has a higher use and
deeper significance than a conventional
exchange of compliments and of the
courtesies OF hospitality.

COLLECTION OF THE INCOME TAX
Secretary Carlisle had conference
yesterday with Commissioner Miller, of
the Internal Revenue Bureau, at which
were discussed the regulations recently
prepared to govern in the collection Of
the income tax. The regulations are
very lengthy, and cover every question
which is likely to arise in the admins
tration of the law. They are not, how
ever, likely to be promulgated for some
days yet, as the secretary has granted
the request of some gentlemen to be
heard before the regulations are finally
approved.
Secretary Carlisle is arranging the
machinery for the collection of the in
come tax with evident confidence that
the necessary funds for its operation
will be forthcoming in the near future.
He has submitted an estimate of $500,
600 for the employment of 303 addition
al deputy collectors, ten extra revenue
agents, and other expenses in the
execution of the statute, and is now
acting with the expectation that Con-
gress will speedily provide the sum re-
quired. This estimate is in addition to
the $4,000 already appropriated for
stationery, printing, etc. The secretary
made only an incidental reference to
the income tax in his annual report,
submitted to Congress yesterday, and
it is probable that he has reserved it
as a subject for q special communication
to the appropriations committee.
