The Clever Thing.

The colored Methodists the past
week held a very successful Sunday
school institute at the church on the
Wilmington Seacoast Railroad, near
Wrightsville. Large crowds from the
city attended, and Captain R.. o.
Grant, the clever superintendent of
the railroad, allowed delegates reduced
rates, provided them with a special
coach and stopped the trains at the
very doors Of the church where the in
stitute was held.
The railroad people were pleasantly
surprised and much gratified yester-
day upon receiving ~engrOssed resolu-
tons adopted by the institute, in which
a preamble states that "the members
of his institute, n and all, are loud
in their praise of the conduct, kindness
and courtesy of the superintendent.
conductors and train men," A rising
vote of thanks was unanimously ex-
tended to them. The resolutions are
signed by the Rev. j. w. Telfair, the
Rev. E. J. Gregg, president, and F. J.
DeBerry, secretary.

Hearst to Publish a journal in Cuba

A novel phase of newspaper enter
prise is exhibited in the chartering
of an ocean steamship by w. R.
Hearst, proprietor of the New York
Journal, the loading thereon of a COM
plete newspaper outfit, and the an
barkation for Cuba with the purpose
of publishing AN American newspaper
on Cuban soil. Mr.. Hearst, it is conf
IDENTIFY asserted by those who know all
about everything on newspaper row,
has gone with the expedition, and has
taken with him a complete staff of
editors, reporters and craftsmen.
The steamer Sylvia, Of the Quebec
steamship line, bore away Mr.. Hearst's
expedition, leaving Long Island City
June 18th. The party expected to
reach Santiago by the 23rd, and to eff
feet a landing at the safest point in
the vicinity. There the plant will be
set up, and the first newspaper print
ed in Eenglish on Cuban soil will be is
sued. James R. Creelman, one of the
Journals war correspondents, accom-
panied Mr.. Hearst. Being on the
ground and near the seat of operations
against Santiago, the Cuban edition
of the Journal should be able to, and
doubtless will, present the very full
est and most graphic stories of the
b%eleagured city.-Newspaperdom.

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany is building a telegraph line from
Wilmington to Carolina beach,, a dis
tance of about sixteen miles. It is for
the United States government and
will be one of the links in the system
of signal stations being established
on the Atlantic coast.
The line runs down From street and
goes along the Federal Point road af-
ter it leaves the city. About three
miles of poles have been put up al
ready, and other poles have been de-
livered at this end and also at the
Carolina beach end of the line. The
office at Carolina beach will be in the
signal station which has recently been
established there.

More than forty counties are repre-
mer school. Every kind and class of
school, from the college to the coun-
try public school, is represented. An
instructor who has been connected
with schools in the state for twenty
years says hat this school surpassed
any he has ever seen in the interest
shown and the spirit of work mani
tested.
The work of Superintendent Moses
in phonics is largely attended. He
seems to lave some ideas which will
largely revolutioniZe primary teach
ing.
Miss Ray Whitlock is a North Caro-
lima girl who has won a position in
the music department of h public
schools of New York. She is daily
illustrating at two periods the meth
DDS used in music in that city. Her
business-like manner and evident skill
have caused much favorable COM
ment.
MI. w. H. Mace, who is illustrating
method in teaching history, is the au-
thor of several largely circulated
books.
The news of the death of Wilson
Caldwell will be a source of sadness
For about fifty years he had serve
the university as errand boy and jan
itor. Scarcely a man in the state has
more friends han he. The color of
the skin vas put aside in recognition
of the worth of the man. He was sick
but five days, and was at his post as
long as possible.

Charleston, S. c., July s.-The Sixth
Massachusetts, and a battalion of the
Sixth Illinois are now en- route to
Santiago TO reinforce General Shat

Brigadier General George A. Garrett
son The baggage OF the 1--WE regi-

the Columbia at 4 o'clock a. M, the
two cruisers being anchored at the
lightship at the entrance to the harbor.
The embarkation of the troops be-
gan at midday. They were marched
out Of camp and down to Alger wharf
where the steamers Commodore Per-
~ and Planter we're in waiting.
The men went on board and, accom-
panied by the cheers of the spectators
and the men of other regiments, the
|! two harbor boats steamed down the
| harbor in the face of a heavy rain
| storm which was coming up by Sum-
| ter. The work Of t~ranshipping the
soldiers was accomplished with dis
| patch and without mishap. BY some
| mistake one company Of the Sixth
Massachusetts was left on the wharves
when the steamers started. Adjutan.

General Nelson A. Miles and his

The correspondent OF the Baltimore
sun. writing from American Army
headquarters near Santiago on last
Wednesday. says:
Skaters headquarters Is in miserable
condition. The s~uferings. Of hum
dreds OF wounded would cause a thrill
OF indignation to run through the ma
ton could the people witness them.
There are only a few tents at the
general hospital. Two large ones are
filed with wounded Cubans. Most Of
these are men who were hurt while
aimlessly struggling during the fight
ing Friday and Saturday. Some OF
our men are crowed into the smaller
ents. Many lie unsheltered from the
| sun and the daily showers.
Yesterday / noticed the condition OF
several OF the wounded. One man
| was lying in the scorching sun oil a
piece OF rubber poncho. He told me
with piteous fortitude that he had
been there two days. Many others
were in equally bad shape.
AS rapidly as transportation can be
secured the wounded are being car
ried to Siboney. but the facilities for
many lie without shelter for hours
and even days.
A newspaper man, Mortified at what
| he saw, suggested to the surgeon in
charge at headquarters that he have
| some of the idle Cubans build shacks,
| n also informed him that dozens OF
abandoned shelter tents We're half a
mile down the road. The surgeon
seemed TO resent the suggestion and
| intimated that he was quite Compe-
tent to manage the matter.
These conditions may be expected in
temporary field hospitals, but are in
| tolerable in a general hospital, which
is three miles in the rear OF the
trenches. Across the road from the
general hospital, General Skaters
staff has a tent for each man. in
which the officers may be seen lying
in cots at any time.

The COlOred Volunteers Didn't go

The men recruited here the past ten
days by Lieutenant Andrew J. Wal
ker for the colored regiment, at Fort
Macon, were h have proceeded to
camp yesterday morning by the Will
n'ngton and New Bern railroad, but
not a man reported at the station.
The men held a meeting Friday night
and made their preparation to go but
another spirit came over their dreams.
There are about seventy of these re-
cruits.
The Messenger is Informed that
the reason they did not go was that
they did not propose to go over in
charge of a boy. 1t had been ar
nounced that B. w. Howard, a young
colored mar who is employed at the
postoffice as a mail carrier would take
the recruits to camp. He is about %
years of age but is boyish looking.
One man said the men refused to go
because they would not follow a
"~sapsucker," what ever that means.
The Evening Record, the colored
daily, said yesterday evening:
Several of the men who were anx-
ious to go to Fort Macon say they are
not going to pull chestnuts out of the
fire for somebody else"

Try II BY All Means

The Raleigh Post of yesterday well
says:
"a contemporary suggests that Gov,
ernor Russell nave a barbed wire
fence put around him.
1--WE have heard the soldiers going
to Cuba have procured a strip of
baby-flannel, doubling it so as to be
about twelve inches wide, binding
it rather tightly around the stomach
and thus wearing it, to prevent stom-
ach troubles. We presume it would
be efficacious if applied elsewhere. If
so, it might be we'll for DR.. Thompson,
with the prayerful assistance of Major
Cade, to bind a good, wide strap around
the governors head. His chronic out
breaks in that locality are certainly
very painful to the public, if not him
self, and should be stopped if possible.

Going to Fast
(BoSton Post.)

Congress has set too rapid a pace for
the voting Of thanks and the confer
ring of dignities for services in the
present war. There are going to be
a good many more heroes before it is
all over, and although the overcrowd-
ing of the floor of the senate and
house with these privileged persons is
not to be feared, as was suggested in
a recent debate, there is a real danger
that the distinction will lose its value,
and, moreover, that ~jealousies will be
aroused even If injustice is not done.
