THE LAST OF HIS RACE.

Mr.. Creston Clarke. whose name has
heretofore been 60 closely associated
with Shakespearean roles, will present a
new romantic play, 1.-THE Last of His
Race" at the Grand Opera House next
Tuesday night. Mr.. Clarke has wisely
concluded that the public no longer
cares for tragedy, and in going for the
romantic he is merely catering to the
wants of the theatre patrons.

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 8. 800.

IT rs a pity that with the hand
some school buildings which have
gone up in Wilmington during the
last ter years, that they have not
been erected on larger plots of
ground. Not one of the schools
built in this period have a play
ground surrounding them for the
children to play in during recess.
Take the new high school for in
stance, which will cost over two
hundred thousand dollars; the
buildings when completed will oc-
cupy the whole Of the lot except a
few feet back and front and on the
sides. What an oversight by our
School Board, when ground can be
bought SO cheap in Wilmington.
Would not The Wollaston Street
School at Eighth and Wollaston
streets look better if it had been
built so that a play ground sur
rounded it instead OF being built up
close to the brick buildings which
completely surround it? The
Washington street school has no
ground worth speaking Of around
it that can be used by the children
as a place to get ten minutes air
and sunshine between studies at 10
o'clock and 3 o'clock, the same as
adopted years ago by all the public
schools. No more schools should
be built without a play ground.
The children now grown to man.
hood demand it and the present
generation should have it.

THOMAS CARROLL BOONE.
The War BalIoonist Dies in a Mas
sachusetts Hospital.

BOSTON, March 20.-Thomas Carroll
Boone, the telegraph operator in the
war balloon in the operations before
Santiago, died to-day at the Massa-
chusetts General Hospital as the result
Oh an operation on a wound received in
the fall of the balloon after it had been
Snot to pieces. Boone, with two Gov
ernment officers, performed heroic work
In the great airship, which was a target
for the Spanish gunners until it fell into
the trees and threw all three men ont.
Boone was caught in the drag anchor
and was fearfully wounded He never
fully recovered, although since last fall
up to within two days of his death
he continued his work as a telegrapher.
He was born in Annapolis. Mr.. in
1876, and went to the front as First
Corporal of Company K, Second Massa-
chusetts Volunteers. Soon after the
regiment reached Tampa he was de-
tacbed and made a Sergeant in the
Government Signal Service. In the
first days fight at Santiago he went up
in the balloon and sent all the messages
and continued the work on the second
day during the battle of San Juan Hill.
The body will be sent to Annapolis for
interment.
Calamity has overtaken all three of
the men who were in the unfortunate
balloon. One of the officers died as
the result of the injuries which he re-
ceived, while another is the inmate of
an insane asylum.

To Make a Birthday-Book.

An interesting pursuit and one that
affords real pleasure and diversion to
the individual, is the intelligent and
systematic collecting of some particular
line of curios or articles of virtus vary
ing in character and kind in accordance
with the personal taste of the collector.
Whatever it may be that centers the
attention and effort of the person inter
ested, it matters very little; nearly all
art objects have some beauty and in
trinsic value, and are appreciated more
or less by the onlooker. But the real
virtue Of gathering them is the enjoy
ment it affords the collector, and the
education and intellectual awakening it
is to study the history and merits of al
most any variety of hafdiwork.
The amassing of photographs and au-
tographs of famous personages is
favorite practice of many collectors,
and the most interesting specimen of
the autograph accumulation is the
birthday book, which seems to be the
most definite and tangible mode of get
ting and holding together the names
and thoughts of the many celebrities
met with along life's journey 1t is not
necessary to meet and know all the
collection Sometimes names or auto
graph letters and verses may be secured
through the kindness of some friend, or
are found for sale at some philanthropic
function, where they have been given
for sweet charitys sake.
A variety of birthday books come
prettily bound and arranged, with the
months and days printed at the top of
the many pages left blank to be in
scribed upon by the contributors. An
attractive volume of this description is
the one designed by the Princess Bea-
trice, which is illustrated with pretty
and appropriate flowers for each month
The inscription may be a verse or par
agraph from the poems or prose of the
inscriber that have already appeared
in print, or few affectionalte words are
put down with the signature, such as,
with very good wish,' For dear Mrs
Blank, with love-" Believe me, my
dear Mrs Blank, yours very sincerely.

have the sketch done on page OF the
