Has Been Named In Honor of This Cftv
Initial Steps Towards Securing al
Appropriate Gift for Her.
The Navy Department has named
one of the new gunboats built
at Newport News after this city,
Wilmington, and 1t is but fitting that
the good people of this city should take
cognizance of 1t. Other cities have done
honor to themselves and their namesakea
and Wilmington should not be behind
hand
With this object In view, the EVENING
JOURNAL has started a subscription list
the fund to be used for the purchase Of
silver service for the United States
gunboat Wilmington. The money re-
ceived will be Acknowledged In these co.
umns and held subject to the orders Of
committee of citizens which will
be selected later.
The service will be purchased of some
dealer in this city, to be decided upon by
the committee.

amount, but the War Department reports
that nothing can be done until resu urveys Of
the heedy Island dyke have been made, and
Ia at. consequently only ons-hAlf tho amount
proposed for appropriation could 90 expended
