To Be Named in Bonor Of This CItS-In-
itial Steps Towards Securing an APP
propriate Gift for Her.
The honor Of having man-of-war
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 its name
handsome silver service or other
appropriate testimonial. This shows
not only the interest taken in the new
ship, the assuming OF sort Of God
fsthership as it were, but links more
closely thoss 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 to 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. Other cities have done
honor to themselves and their nRmesake
and Wilmington should not be behind
hand.
With shis bjsct in view, the EVENING
JOURNAL has started a subscription list
the fund to be ed for the purcba'e OF
a silver service for the United States
gunbost Wilmington. The money re-
ceived will be acknowledged in these col
umns and held subject to the orders oi
committee of citizens which viii
be selected later Another suggestion
the EvEEIEG JOURNAL would make at thiI
point is. that one Of Wilmington's many
