Socially the coming Christmas holi-
days are going to be a great success.
Society is eagerly looking forward to
this gala time, and already We have
heard limited news of several enter
tainments that will be given.
Our two dance clubs-the L'Arieso
German Club and the L'Agile Cotillion
Ciub-will contribute their share Of
fashion and merriment. The govern
ing boards of the two clubs are now
busily at work devising schemes for
the snecial enjoyment Of their respec-
tive clubs. Both dances will be bril-
liant ones, and will be attended by
quite q number Of young ladies from
away. At present the plan is for the
LAriosO Club to lead off with a ball
Tuesday evening after Christmas, and
the L'Agile to follow the next night. A
superb orchestra will furnish music for
both occasions.
There are to be a large numbe of
fair visitors in the city during the holi-
days. Already we know of about ten
young ladies who will be guests in Will
mington, and this number embraces
charming Representatives from Wins
ton, Reidsville, Portsmouth, Norfolk

Opens the Reichstag-His Comments
on the Important Events Of the Day

Berlin. December 6.-Emperor Will
liam opened the ~reichstag in the White
hall Of the royal castle here today, in
the presence Of the members Of the
bundesrath, the generals and other
military officers who were grouped
around the throne. in front OF which
the reichstag deputies assembled. The
empress sat in the grand balcony and
the members Of the diplomatic corps
occupied the adjoining gallery.
The emperor, after announcing the
introduction OF a series Of social and
labor bills. and the completion Of the
organization Of the army, said that
Germany's relations with all the for
eign powers continue to be friendly,
and that the principal object Of his
policy would be to contribute TO the
Maintenance Of peace. Therefore. his
majesty hailed with warm approval
thea ears magnanimous proposal for
the furtherance Of that object.
Continuing, the emperor referred TO
the assassination OF the empress OF
Austria as a savage and ruthless act.
which had caused him deep pain and
which had evoked the most sincere
sympathy Throughout Germany. AlIud
ing To the an~tf~anarchist conference at
Rome. the emperor said the readiness
with which the invitation had been ac-
cepted by the powers justified the hope
that it's deliberations would have prac-
teal results.
Alluding to the war between Spain
and the United States. his majesty said
Germany's neutrality was conscien-
tiously and Loyalty observed towards
both beIligerents.
Their, taking up colonial affairs, En-
peror William pointed out the meas
ures taken for the economic develop
ment Of kia Chou. declaring that
while conscientiousiy respecting the
well acquired rights OF third parties.
the German government would direct
its efforts to the further promotion OF
It's economic relations with China
which are yearly growing more i'm
portant.
His majesty's speech was repeatedly
chteered.

Two Pointed Questions Answered

is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you
cannot get a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy the bet
ter, SO hat while our profits may De
smaller on a single sale they VIII be
much larger in the aggregate.
How can o get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on then
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally taxi up
with some fashionable ovelty put
forth with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to the n remedy
that they know to be reliable, and for
coughs, colds and Group there is moth
ing equal to Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. Fod sale by r. r. Beilamy.

The Methodist Papers

The North Carolina Christian Advo-
cate, published at Greensboro, has
heretofore been the official organ Of the
North Carolina and the Western North
Carolina conferences of the Methodist
Episcopal church, south, but hereafter
each conference will have its w
paper.
The Western North Carolina con
ference will continue the North Caro-
lima Christian Advocate at Greensboro,
but its publication will be under diff
ferent management and a new equip
me1t will be purchased for it. The
greater part of the stock Of the paper
and the outfit belonged to the Rev. l..
w. Crawford, and it will be moved to
Raleigh where the North Carolina con
ference will publish the Raleigh Chris
tan Advocate.
The Rev. Mr.. Crawford has sold a
half interest in the Raleigh Christian
Advocate to the North Carolina confer
ence, and at the session at Elizabeth
City last week, the Rev. DR.. T. N. Ivey
was elected editor by a vote of 1875 out
of 1873. The paper is valued at $4,000
and the North Carolina conference
purchases additional stock to give it a
half interest, valued at $500.

A NEW
School of EIecutIOn to be Started in
this City Shortly

Wilmington is soon to have a school
of dramatic arts, where elocution and
acting will be ably and skillfully
taught, from the very first rudiments
to the highest. Such a school will be
a most acceptable innovation TO our
business enterprises, and will be an
other link in this city's chain of pro-
gressiveness that is being rapidly
forged. What is more the school will
be conducted by home talent, some
thing to be proud Of. Miss Hattie Tay-
lor, the accomplished daughter of Mr..
John Taylor, will be in charge, and
under her direction it can be nothing
else but a success.
Miss Taylor is we'll known here, and
her ability as an elOcutionist has more
than once been magnificently demon
Strated in different entertainments in
which she SO obligingly took part. At
present Miss Taylor is completing her
dramatic education at the National
Dramatic Conservatory, New York
city. For several years she studied at
the Boston School Of Oratory. She ex-
poets to form her class in this city
some time during February.

HOusebreakers Arrested

About two months ago the summer
residence of Captain Henry Savage, on
MasOnbOrO Sound, was broken into
and robbed of household goods. Two
negroes, Son Mckenzie and But Duson,

them, but the democratic constable,

Ever since Saturday afternoon DR..
p. H. Hoge, of the First Presbyterian
hurch of Wilmington, has been here
as the first university preacher for this
year. Sunday morning he preached in
the Presbyterian church in the village.
He made a most interesting talk to the
young men.
That night in the university chapel,
he preached to the students and fac
ulty. 1t was a highly instructive lee
ture on his trip to the Holy Land His
description, from personal views was
indeed graphic and the large audience
was carried with him as he SO wildly
gave the description of Christ's last
Journeys and days on this earth. 1t
was a magnificent effort and was
greatly enjoyed by his audience.
DR.. Hoge makes short talks to the
students in the chapel at the regular
morning exercises and also at the
Young Mems Christian Association
meetings in the evening. Last night
in the chapel he gave another sermon
on the text: Search the Scriptures, for
in Them Ye hin Ye Have Eternal
Life; and They Are They Which Tes-
tify of Ne" 1t was another very in
teresting talk and was enjoyed by
quite a crowd.
DR.. Hoge Will remain here the rest
of the week.
The next universitA oreacher will be
here in January.
DR.. Baskerville, assistant professor
in chemistry, who has been very i'll for
the last few days, is reported as being
