SPRINT FOR A ROOSTER.

Among the articles which came TO
Wilmington yesterday by the United
States Express Company's service was
a game rooster in a SLATED box. 1t was
consigned to a man named Thompson,
who resides on lower West street.
While one OF the express cOmpanys
drivers was handling the box a slat
came off and the fowl took immediate
advantage of the opportunity to es-
cape. All who have seen Delaware
avenue station and its surroundings
can appreciate what a desirable place it
is for a rooster which declares for lib
erty. Of it went, with the driver and
small boy after it. If there was a
foot of ground in the neighborhood
which was not covered and recovered
by the rooster and his pursuers, it was
an oversight on the part of the rooster.
Rob, the driver, sprinted we'll He
looked like one Of these West Indian
pot-bellied and duck-legged cyclones
which sweep up the Atlantic coast Oc-
casionally, bringing destruction in
their wake. To the Wayfarer. who
chanced to be standing nearby, it look
ed as though the rooster was making
game of his pursuers. Just as Rob
and the boy were about pumped out
of wind the rooster went back in a
corner to laugh about their discom-
| future, and they took a mean advantage
of the opportunity and penned him. He
submitted gracefully, and was soon on
/ the way to the West street home OF
| his new owner.

GILLEsPTE I'm A JOCUND MOOD.


Albert B. Gillespie is quite a joker,
and says many things in the nature of
jest which contain all the elements OF
truth. The Wayfarer hears one OF his
expressions of opinion which is well
worth repeating. A friend told Mr.. Gill
lespie that there were no two things on
earth exactly alike, and that no matter
how similar things may appear at first
glance or even upon close observation
with the naked eye, if the objects to be
compared are subjected to the search
ing scrutiny of the microscope a vast
difference is observed. Mr.. Gillespie
pondered for few seconds and then
sagely observed:
Il imagine that there are no two
things on earth so much alike under
any sort of scrutiny as Grover Cleve-
lands hard times and Bill McKinley's
prosperity.

EASY TO GET ON, HARD TO GET
OFF.

When a colOred person essays to do
those things which have for many
years been considered the special prov
inc of white people he is very apt to
overdo them. Recently there was a
show at the Grand Opera House and
the actors were all full-blooded negroes
or mulattoes.
The attaches of the Grand Opera
House inform the Wayfarer that the
manager of the company had an easy
time getting the actors on the stage,
but an awfully hard time to get them
off, for they all wanted to stay on and
imprOvise after their legitimate lines
were exhausted. 1t was only by threat
ening not to let them act any more
that he could control them.

1T is NOT APPRECIATED.

In one of the side corridors of the
Court House there is a long distance
telephone pay station, but it is not ap-
preciated by the Hello" portion of the
populace.
Are many calls made from the sta
ton out there?" asked the Wayfarer of
Deputy Clerk of the Peace Janyier yes
terday.
About one in two weeks" was the
laconic response, and he smiled a sar-
donic smile and glanced towards the
free telephone in the sheriff's office.

A gentleman. who formerly re- sided in this city and who has re- gently travelled much, speaks in glowing terms of Forrest City. He sayss that you can't get far enough away to reach land where we arc unknown; that Forrest City and Marianna have known reputa- tions to the Atlantic ocean, and that no town shows up to better advantage than Forrest City. Her progress is substantial, her, wealth large, her society unsurpassed, her enterprise becoming and her peo. pie energetic. Now that we have the electric lights, water works, road machine, and gravelled streets, an enterprising council, and board of health which prom. ises to have the courage 10 adopt and enforce such sanitary rules and regulations as will best pro- mote the health of tho city; and furthermore, very fattering pros poets of . handsome new court house, let us not sit down and fold our hands, thinking we have noth. ing further to do. We need manu. featuring enterprises, and can se- cure them by remaining faithfully upon the watchtower, and signal ing them with liberal offers of as- sistance and favor. No town has more natural advantages, and our location in itself is worth much. If we arc to proceed, however, in tho march to greatness, WIG must push, we must get together, and abide the will of the majority gracefully and without friction or feeling; we must convince the outside worldDthat wet are great, and above selfshnessin.pubha ad. vanecment. We can accomplish great things by constantly Keeping alive to every enterprise, and missing no opportunity to advance the city. In every enterprise suc- cess can be attained. Every suc- cess should incite us to greater and grander efforts.

We have great confidence in the wisdom of a united people in pub lie improvements. We have noted the friendly rivalry ovor the sev- cral proposed court house sites, and in this connection wish to say, that thorough discussion of the merits of such things are always Tn order, and greatly to be desired, up to the time the "question is put" As we understand the situa. tion here at present, the question of site was thoroughly and ably presented to the people. Especi. ally was the advantages of the "North Side" set forth, and ably championed, But after all, the people thought the South Side a proper place for it, and after put ting the question, It was declared adopted. The, Times pow wishes to move to maEe it unanimous. It is the duty of this people to do so. Not only in this court house matter, but in all matters of public enterprise, the majority should rule and the minority should not kick and pull and "hum and haw' and fuss and fume, and do all they can to discourage advancement simply because it is not in accord. ance with thelr ideas. The minor. ity does not necessarily hold an anaconda mortgage on, all the wis. dom Tn the land,, and we can never get out of the old ru,s so long as there is determination to rule ol ruin. We must pull together. ol capsize together. It is really not so much differe9ce where the court house is put, the question is, shall
 we have a court house. We sin
 cerely hope the spirit of rule oi ruin, and contrarincss will not be heard in this court house matter.

Monday the royal subj jects of Queen Victoria located in all parts Of the world, celebrated the s;xti. eth anniversary of her accession 10 the tbroneJ Hers n,has been n period of great advancement and development for the British empire, and hen subjects naturally feel proud Of the record. The queen of England has less power than the president of the United states, or France, rand she never meddles with the ministers chosen indirectly by the people to direct the affairs of the realm. It is in a personal aspect that this aged queen shines. In the care and education of her children, in her wise conservatism tempered with sympathy for modern progress, in her love for her people, and her example set for the women of her country, she is today, the most be-. loved of women of loyalty. Long live the queen.-Helcna World.
