A few statistics, partially showing how
from 800 to ZOO individual young men
have boon touched by the work during the
past year:
Wilmington has 1000 young men le.
tween ages of I6 and 80, and but 1900 Of
these Qess rathor than more) belong to
Protestant Evangelical churches; fully
one half never go to church at all; 10000
left school at or before IA years of age and
a very large percentage live in boarding
houses. Wilmington, also has saloon
for every 65 of her young men.
The police have on record from 50 to 40
houses of ill fame and there is certainly
more Or less gambling going on; 80 per
cont of the patronage of these evils is by
young men. There are $500 boys from IL
to IL years old, who will soon be men.

Great crowds pass here on every train

Friday night there is not even standing

TT WAS NOT A SWELL WEDDING
But Judge Roberts Did 1t Up in Curl Pa
pers and Poetry.

He was tall, shabbily dressed, bare
footed mulatto; she was a little, short,
kinky haired negress, as black as the ace
of spades, and though more elegantly at
tired than her escort, she, too, was bare
footed. This couple was yesterday cap
tured at the court house by Micajah and
marched into Judge Robertss office.
IF your worship please" said Mica
jah, "here's two mokes with but single
thought, two coons whose hearts beat as
one; two field hands who right now ought
to be hoeing in the corn. Dey wants to
be tied up"
The tall mulatto handed the Judge a
paper which proved to be a license au-
thorizing the matrimonial alliance of
George Washington Doolittle and Soph-
roma Elizabeth Jones. The Judge
scanned the paper, looked quizzically at
the girl and carefully viewed the man.
Then he said: George, what means have
you to carry out the covenants of the
marriage vows to protect, care for and
support this dusky maiden?
G. w. d. smiled and made answer to
this effect: "Of life to live, there is none
so desolate as to live alone. All that we
here in life possess, we must enjoy, and
nothing else. My hands alone my work
can do, why, Judge, not do the same for
twoP
NOW, Sophronia, are you satisfied to
tread life's rugged pathway with G..
Wash, bare-footed as you both are? This
is a lifelong contract and many obsta-
Giles will have to be met and overcome"
Sophronia grinned and laughed out
right. Then looking at G. Wash she
turned to the Judge and said: Judge,
look at me, and then look at him, now
don't you think 'twould be a sin-two
coons, each with willing, loving heart
to be compelled to live apart? And while
I'm standing at his side, you, judge, shall
be the first to kiss the bride"
Good" said Judge Roberts, "the court
is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt
that you two should marry. Stand up
and listen to your doom:
&c. Wash, will you Sophronia take,
Forever your lawful wife to make;
Never forsake her, her always love,
Till both are called to meet above?'
You bet" said G. Wash.
"Sophronia, will you G. Wash wed;
Follow him up till you both are dead;
Cook his rations and wash his clothes,
Stick closely TO him wherever he goes"
Eyes, sah,' said Sophronia.
Now both of you enter the golden gate,
Forever to be each others mate,
And be happy through all this hfe.
And / hope that neither Of you ever
Will do aught this knot sever
That has made you man and wife.
&c. Wash, pull down your vest, turn
down your collar.
Go down in your trousers and hand me
q dollar"

A CHARMING BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Little Emie Louise Drewry Celebrates
Close of Her Eighth Year.


Little Miss Emie Louise Drewry.
daughter of Mr.. John c. Drewry, was
eight years old yesterday and she cele-
brated the occasion by giving a charming
birthday party to a number of her little
friends.
Among those who were present were:
Miss Bonnie McAden, Miss Emma
Baker, of Baltimore; Miss Louise Bruce
Wright, Miss Ruby Norris, Miss Emma
Roberts, Miss Maud Eberhardt, Miss
Flora Mcdonald, Miss Isabelle Simmons,
and Madge Herring. Misses Susie and
Theodore Marshall and Miss Margaret
Hill were also present.
They were all dressed in pure white
with pink fiOwers-and a beautiful picture
they made. After sometime spent in the
innocent amusements of little children
they all trooped into the dining room,
which had been decorated in pink, and a
table loaded with cakes and fruits and
ices and such other things as children
like. Each menu card contained the date
of the birth of the giver of the party and
was decorated with an exquisite hand
painted floral design.
The charming little hostess was the
recipient of many handsome present,
among them an elegant white suite of
furniture, ornamented with polished
brass. May she live to see an hundred
more such pleasant birthdays.
