To BE Named In Honor OF This City-In-
itial steps Towards Securing an Ap-
proprIato Gift for Her.
Tie honor OF having man .of-wir
named after ones native or adopted city
is considered by the residents Of that
city as highly desirable and they have
invariably shown their appreciation by
presenting to the craft bearing It's name
a handsome silver service or other sppro .
pirate testimonial This shows not only
the interest taken In the new ship, the
assuming OF a fort ~ God -fatheiship as
It we're. but links re closely those who
reside between the walls OF wood and
those OF stone and brick.
The navy department has decided to
name one OF the new gunboats 20 be
built at Newport News after this city,
Wilmington, and It Is but fitting that
the good people Of this city should take
cognizance Of it. OH ,r cities have done
honor TO themselves and their namesake
and Wilmington should not be behind
hand
With this obi sct In view, the EVENING
JOURNAL has started a subscription list
the fund to be used for tho purchase OF
silver service for the United States
gunboAt Wilmington The money re .
ceived will be Acknowledged in these col.
umns and held subj ect to the orders OF a
committee Of citizens which will
be selected later. Another suggestion
the EVENING JOURNAL would make at this
point Is. that one Of Wilmingtons many
charming aud fair daughters be chosen
TO christen the new craft when launched
The Historical Society, Sons OF the
American Revolution. Delaware Cincin.
natl, and the Century Club should
all take hand In this work, and with
organized effort on their part It should
be an easy task TO raise a handsome sum
