Nine Years Of Faithful Service

One OF the familiar faces among the
incomers yesterday was hat of Mr..
j. A. Crews, the popular and enter
The Messenger. Mr.. Crews comes in
n goes out ever and anon to hustle
The Messenger, but his arrival yester-
day reminds us that today ends the
ninth year of his connection with this
paper.
During these nine years he has kept
The Messenger constantly before the
people in the circuit of his travels. The
fact is he has kept the road hot and we
have reason to now that he has al
ways followed the injunction that
when you've got a good thing push
it along" He has certainly pushed
The Messenger in season and out of
season, and we al bear cheerful tes-
timony to the fact that he has been an
earnest, faithful, conscientious worker
in behalf of the paper.
Mr.. Crews is a man of sterling char
acter, and throughout his ~perigrina-
tions, he has gained the respect and
confidence OF the people everywhere he
goes. No doubt he knows more people
in Eastern North Carolina than any
man in the state, and his face is per-
haps more familiar in this part of
the state h any other mans. Dur
ing his nine years of service, he has
lost but a few weeks from his work on
the road. n that was when his foot
war mashed while boarding a train at
Whiteville, n. c., in January, 1898. and
when had a serious operation per
formed at the hospital in this city sew
eral months ago.
During Mr.. Crews long connection
with The Messenger hi has never had
a misunderstanding with the n-opria-
tors or manager. Meanwhile, he has
turned in hundreds of subscribers and
collected thousands of dollars. but he
has been so prompt, systematic and
methodical in his work that his ac-
counts have never been one cent out
Of the way.
The Messenger cheerfully acknowI-
edges its appreciation of his active. ef-
hcient n effective services. and can
reiterate for him Rip Van Wrinkles ia
nous toast-"May you live long and
prosper"

Spaniards to Defend San Juan

London, July 31.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of The Sunday Times says:
kilograms from Porto Rico announce
that Captain General Macias has de-
cided to entrench a Juan. A ma
jority of his 49, 900 men are spread over
the island in detachments. They have
been ordered to defend themselves as
long as possible and as a last resort
to retire to the capital.
"It is feared that the Americans
will easily secure San Juan, various
officers reporting that the natives are
not likely to resist. 1t is believed that
the garrison of San Juan will fight
with Spanish heroism. They are un-
hampered, as was the garrison at San
tiago de cuba by a lack of food and
ammunition, stores and supplies.

NJ. A. Hanna in response to an in
quiry today a. to what, in his judg-
ment, should be lone with the Phil
ippine islands, said:
That is a big question and we must
go slowly. We at least want a foot
ing on these islands. Although there
may be a sentiment against keeping
them,' there is a bigger sentiment
against giving them back to Spain.
We are confronted with new conditions
today and We intend to work out the
problems in a manner which will be
for the best Of the country"

Ork nj AS~s
in Cuba and the PHILIPPINES.
1t is generally known that the state
committee of the Y. NJ. G. A. has had
a tent in Camp Dan Russell at Ra-
leigh for the use of the men in the
Second regiment. The tent is sup
piled with writing materials furnished
free to the soldiers, with pleasant
games, reading matter etc, and IL is
much appreciated by the men. A
similar work is also being done al ev-
cry camp in the country, and asso-
citation men with tents have gone &c
Cuba with Shafter army. and two a.
least went TO the Philippines.
The tent at Camp Russell, Raleigh
has been in charge OF MI. o. B. Van
Horn, the general secretary at Ashe-
vile, but he was forced TO give it ur

letter from Colonel Burgwyn will show
what he thinks of Mr.. Van Horn, and

do not hesitate to say that the Y. NJ.
c. A. tent and its c~onveniences is the
most valuable adjunct we have in the

to the men and the Christian influence
it exerts are beyond calculation. There
has not been an hour since ii was
pitched that | have not congratulated
myself in having such an association
with us.
/ have reasons to believe that the

of the work of your association, and
can only say in conclusion that / can't
conceive of any agency more product

From a private letter we learn that

tent and the privileges are constantly
in use. Through the religious work
many Of the men have made profession
of religion.
The state committee of the Y. NJ. c.
A. has assumed heavy responsibility
in providing these privileges to the
men in camp, and contributions Of
money are especially needed that the
tent may be continued. Money may
be handed to General Secretary
Thomas c. Diggs here, or sent to Mr..

ENTERTAINMENT rs.

New Haven was treated to another
first night performance at the Hype-
rion last night, The summer season at
Roster & Biars music hall will open
on Monday night and an excellent COM
pany has been secured to present the
new musical farce, Cooks Tour"
New Haven is the only city outside of
New York which will have chance to
see the production. The work is by
Joseph Hart and the music by Max
Gabriel The orchestra under the di-
rection of Mr.. Gabriel was accorded
the unusual honor of an encore and it
was an enthusiastic one to it's over
ture, "The-Elect."
The cast is very good, containing Ed
die Girard, Joe OFT, Josie Hall, Ada
Lewis and Georgia Caine. Their parts
are not strong and do not give them
much chance to show what they can
do. There are several catchy songs
scattered throughout the performance,
the most popular one last night being
Josie Halls 'Zizzie Ia Zim."
The book is mainly interesting from
the vein of patriotic sentiment which
runs through it. Nevertheless, the
performance is full of action and dash
and furnishes a pleasant evenings en-
tertainment. 1t was much enjoyed by
the audience last evening. The play
will be presented again tonight, but
the matinee will not be given.

Say City Officials Concerning Fair Ha-

The board of finance at it's meeting
Thursday night approved a bill for
$2604 for the expenses Of a borough
election held last Monday in the Dor
ough of Fair Haven East. This mat
ter has been commented upon by many
city officials, who think that the con-
tinuance of borough government
within the city limits is unnecessary
andsa cause of needless expense to the
city The statutes provide that city
or town shall defray the expenses of
any election held by a borough within
it's limits. One prominent city official
said yesterday: IF they want to
maintain that borough why aren't they
compelled to run it themselves and
made to pay for 1t themselves
The bills from the board Of select
men, composed of Charles S. Hamilton,
Henry c. Bretzfelder James J. Blu

were tabled until the next meeting of
the board of finance.
