From the People to tho Wilmington.


The net sum Of the constitutions
received in response to the appeal
started by the EVENING JOURNAL to the
fund designed for the purchase Of
fitting testimonial Of appreciation Of the
honor done our city In naming the gun
boat recently launched at Newport News
after the Queen City Of the Delaware.
while far below the amount which It
was hoped would be reached, is still
handsome one and when the time comes
will be devoted to the object for which it
was subscribed. It represents the con
tributlon Of public spirited citizens who
have the fair name Of their home city
dear at heart; who have wholesome
pride IN her welfare. hearty interest IN
proclaimlng her standing to the world
at large. This proposed gift or teetl
monial, however. is to an extent re-
strlcted to 3 certain class, and is the
gift OF 4 certain class.
This is neither our desire nor our In
tentIon. We are perfectly willing to
receive any and all subscriptions, and do
not presume to measure the llbsra llty of
any man. We want everybody to be
represented In the magnificent gIfd to the
Wilmington. No matter how poor each
msn or woman each boy or girl may be-
be or she can have part and parcel in
this gift. The time Is short before the
work Of fitting out the Wilmington Is
completed and to accomplish anything,
subscriptions should now begin 10 pour
in
The EVENING JOURNAL will receive
any and al contributions, no matter how
small or how great, for the silver service,
and due credit will be given each day for
such contributions as made. This plan
should prove a popular one, and every
one should contribute.
There is q good old Scotch proverb
which says that many mickles make
muckle," In other words, many small
things make large thing. Let as take
the school children OF our city. for in
stance There are II 600 Of them. Sup
pose that each child we're to give silver
offering Of, say dime, there woald be
fund Of 81 100 II those dimes were TO
be kept separate from all other contribu.
tions and melted, what lump Of silver
they would make, and, when hammered
out by the aklllfnl ailyersmlth, what a
magnificent gift would 60 to the VIII
mington from the school children Of this
city.
We would suggest that the Board Of
Public Education authorize the teachers
to receive all such silver ofIerings and
turn them into the hands Of the treasurer
Of the board who shall hold them sub
jsct to the demands Of the citizens
committee appointed to decide upon the
design and make purchase Of the ser.
vice, with the understanding that ths
school childrens offerings bs melted and
hammered into ono Of the haudsomest
pieces OF the service
The EVENING JOURNAL will publlsh
from day to day, as they ara reported TO
It, the names Of all schoolboys and school
girls making such contributions.

BOY BURGLARS AT WEST WARDS
BORO.
They Rob Two stores and Cart on ThciI
Piunder i'm WhcelbarrOws by which
They Were Traked

Wednesday morning ii was found that
the store of M. w. Brown and that of
Putnam x Wait at West Wardsboro,
had been burglarized and about 500
worth of goods carried off from the
store of Brown. including GO lbs. of
tobacco, several pairs Of mittins, cloth
ing, etc. Little was taken from Put
nam n Waite's. Also two wheel
barrows were missing about the vii
lage. AS Jerome Hall was seen about
the village until quite late the night
before with two other boys, not known,
it was supposed to be their work and
while some We're following tracks,
Brown went to Mr.. Hall and found that
his boy did net get home until 6. 40
that morning and would not tell his
folks where he had been. Upon being
confronted with Deputy Sheriff II. n
Fits, Jerome told that he helped two
Coy boys, John and Ira, aged II and
II, who live in the "old johnson
neighborhood'' in Dover to do the
work. Several men with the sheriff
started for Coy's where the stolen
property was found and two men left to
watch the boys, as Coy and wife were
gone, leaving three small children and
the stock in charge of these boys.
States Attorney Fits was teephoned
for and the boys were arrested
and brought before Justice S.
). Perry yesterday, waving examina-
tion, being held under 500 bonds and
each committed TO Jail today.
The Hall boy, who is Ii, has had good
reputation and his parents feel very bad
ly AS it is not known that he received
any of the plunder, it is thought he
was led into ii. The Coy family have
Il rather unsavory reputation as some
insurance companies can attest. All
three OF the boys have owned up as n
desd they might as we'll, for they were
traced by the wheelbarrow clear to the
house where all the p!undcr was found
but they differ in their stories to fhe
extent that Hall claims he was led in
To it by the Coy boys and the Cows
claim that he took the lead.
