Newport is magnanimous. 1t Is the
only city in Rhode Island that gave q
majority vote in favor of the proposed
new Constitution. If the Constitution
had been adopted Rhode Island would
thereafter have had but one capital
instead Of two. and Newport would
have been to that extent the loser Ap-
parently Newport goes in for the
greatest good to the greatest number
regardless of selfish or local consider
ations. s.-Boston Herald.
It may be that the people Of Newport
feel that the presence Of the Rhode
Island Legislature at stated intervals
Is a reflection on her social standing
and an offenseto heraristocratic senses
Therefore she placed her trust in Provi-

SHELLPOT PARK

The entertainment being provided
at Shellpot Park this week is of a
high standard, and that the park pa
irons are pleased is evident from the
large audiences present yesterday all
ternoon and evening. The Three Ne
yarros continue to be the attractive
features, and each evening they in
troduce many new and wonderful
feats in their acrobatic act. The Ne
varros are the talk of the town and
the people who have seen them agree
that three finer and more clever aero
bats have never visited Wilmington.
The rest of the performance is also OF
high standard and each evening the
different artists introduce many new
things into their respective acts.

WILL ASK FOR PosTPONEMENT

CHARGES AGAINST CAPTAIN
CHAMBERS WILL NOT BE
TAKEN UP BY COMMISSION TO-
NIGHT.
1t is not probable that the charges
preferred against Police Captain
Chambers by Daniel DuRoss will be
taken up at to-night's meeting of the
Police Commission.
When the case is called this evening
Captain Chambers will ask for a post
ponement on the grounds that he pre-
fers a full board to act upon the case.
The reason for this is not a political
one, nor does he fear that he will not
be justly dealt with, but on the CON
trary wants the case fully investi-
gated, but he desires the presence of
Commissioner Hart, who is at present
at Hot Springs, Va.
Mr.. Hart is a butcher, and Captain
Chambers feels that if he is present at
the hearing that by his knowledge OF
the meat business he will be able to
bring out points relative to the case
that will be beneficial to the commits
sioners in rendering their decision. He
is charged by Mr.. DuRoss with ex-
ceeding his authority as an officer, and
he (Du Ross) feels that his reputation
has been impaired by Captain Cham
bers' action in condemning the meat
sold by him.
AS a matter of fact Captain Cham
bers did not visit Mr.. Du Ross stand
unsolicited, but went at the instigation
of Chief Dolan. The chief had been
telephoned to by the directors Of Third
Street Market, who requested that he
should visit the market and look al
the meat being sold by Du Ross. AS
Chief Dolan was engaged at the time
he requested Captain Chambers to ACT
in his stead as he had been in the
butcher business, and was thoroughly
|conversant with meats of all descrip-
ton.
Commissioner Hart is expected tc
return from Virginia on July s and ii
is probable that the case viii be taken
up at the following meeting, July 10. AS
Captain Chambers is entitled to a
postponement there is no doubt that
his request will be granted by Presi-
dent Pyle and Commissioner Clarkson
