The figures Of the disbursements. as
furnished by the city treasurer. do not
agree with those prepared by the comp
troIler. The comptroller reports operating
expenses amounting to 1881, 0z9.24. or
$137, 5O2.67 less than the amount shown by
the treasurer's books. The Discrepancy.
however. Is "a mere matter of bookkeep-
ing" as the city treasurer charged the
interest fund with 200, which was paid
out on account of interest due on water
bonds. The comptroller does not consid-
er this amount should be charged to the
city. as the water department fund is
kept separate from the city accounts.
The treasurer also charged the library
building repair fund with the $21 O21.Sl
which was paid in by the library board
and then paid out on orders by that body
This amount the comptroller does not In
clude in his figures. Taking the figures
of the city treasurer less the library re.
pair fund and the interest on the water
board, operating expenses Of the city were
$92, SCI. GS more in 1899 than In 1898 The In
crease was apportioned over the 1898 fig
ures as follows: Fire department, $4,000;
police department. $1,000; lighting fund.

Spartan simplicity Is tho predominant
feature of the cadet rooms at West Point.
They are furnished alike There are no
decorations in one that cannot be found
in all the others. A millionaire's son has
no more privileges than the poorest lad
whose brains and physical perfection Sc
cured his appointment.
No furniture or ornaments are allowed
in rooms except those called for by the
regulations. Everything in cadets
room is purchased out OF the pay he re-
ceives from the government The mantel
ornaments consist Of neat frame giving
the hours of instruction. copies of the
army regulations, U. S. M. A. regulations,
blue book and a small mirror At the
foot of the bed is washstand, with two
bowls and few. toilet articles. On the

The Eider-Dempster Company of Liv-

line of Atlantic steamships, has closed
contract for the transportation Of
$1,000 Films to America during the COM
Ing season. Advices were received at
the local office Of the company stating
that the deal had been closed yesterday
afternoon.
The contract Is the result of consid-
cradle agitation in Finland, owing to re-
cent unfavorable proclamations of the
car of Russia. Many Of the people who
are planning on coming to America are
leaving for political reasons, while many
are planning on their departure on ac-
count of the orders for the suppression
of the Finnish language.
Agents of the company have secured
the largest share of the business for the
purpose of coloniZing several of the

of the newcomers, who will settle on
railroad and other lands In the northern
part of the state. Several Twin City
land companies, which are interested
in Red river valley and Beltrami county
lands, have interested themselves in the
movement. A large number Of the Firms
will settle in Michigan, that state, ac-
cording to the allotment made, receiving
about 5000. Canada will receive only
comparatively small portion of the i'm
migration, such as settle there taking
up lands in Manitoba and Assiniboia.
The remainder Of the immigration will go
to the Dakotas, Montana and Washing

tonight the hotels are filled with pol

fight is entering upon the last stage. 1t
had been expected Senator Gear would be
here tomorrow, but 1t is announced to-
night he will not come. He is at his home
at Burlington and sends word he will
come before the end of the fight but no
date is fixed The Cummins people claim
today to have forty-seven sure votes for
Eaton, their speakership candidate while
the Gear supporters claim fifty-four.
Forty-one are necessary to nominate In
the caucus. The Gear men insist they
will name Bowen for speaker without
trouble but add that they have the SEN
atorial contest so well in hand that they
will surely elect Gear, even If they do
not organize the house. The Gear people
announce that Representative Anderson,
who has been claimed by both SIDES will
vote for Eaton for speaker and Gear

Mr.. Henry Biount Writes Tor the
Wilson News OF DIR. Biackwel1ss Re-
cent IN There.

The Wilson News of Friday has
the following tribute to Rev. c. s.
Blackwell, DID,, pastor of h First
Baptist church. this city. which could
but have come from the pen of Mr..
Henry Blount, to-wit:
IF you wish TO hear one OF the great
est orators OF this country, IL you wish
to hear real. genuine oratory in its
subEimest mood and fancy: IL you wish
TO feel its thrill in all its glow and ar
dor. then 20 out and hear h gifted
and inspired DR.. c. s. Blackwell. and
you will hear outbursts OF oratory as
grand and as sublime as those thrill
ling peals or oratory which "fulmined
on the arsenal, and swept over Greece
to Macedon n shook up Artaxeres'
throne" We heard him last night, and
were charmed and enchanted. thrilled
and electrified with his heart-teuching
and soul-lifting oratory. for he has
just enough Of the true, real actor;
just enough OF the dramatic fire: just
enough Of the histrionic power and fer
vor 30 give to his eloquent thoughts
and feelings that winged burst Of ut
terance that plume the Hottest heights
n bear his audience with him in his
eagle flights Unquestionably and be-
yond all doubt he is the greatest orator
this writer has ever heard in Wilson.
and in his excellent sermon last night
when grand truths were to be stamped
upon the mind. and the heart TO b.
touched with his pathetic u~tterances.
then his thoughts assembled the impos-
ing column of stateliest ~eloquence,
and all hearts were swayed by a bril-
liant and magnificent triumph OF mas
sive Intellectual force, acute histrionic
conception and majestic characterize
ton. The forces of mind were admira-
bly, trained and marshaled and con-
trolled, and mingled in harmonious
groupings at the command of his
genius, and stood up in the congruous
habilimentS of a striking and unmis-
taxable individuality. His personifica-
tons were almost perfect. and his
shading of the emotions were as del
icately and artistically drawn as the
tinting of a rose. All in all, the ser
mon last night. fraught with such high
dramatic vigor and glowing with such
fine fires of oratory, was entrancingly
enchanting n enjoyable, and its ex-
cuisite and delectable flavor will lin
ger in the senSE as sweetly as perfume
in the vases when the flower which
breathed it is withered and dead"

WILMINGTON DELEGATES RETURN
Mr.. j. G. Talks Interest
fngly of Recent Convention of south
r Wholesale Grocers' Association.

Messrs. J.. c. Stevenson. L. B.
Rogers, P. Pearsall and w. B. Cooper,
who went as delegates to represent the
wholesale grocers Of Wilmington in the
ninth annual convention of the South
ern Wholesale Grocers' Association
held last week in Charleston, have re-
turned and report an especially pleas
ant and profitable trip.
In speaking of the work of the con-
vention Mr.. Stevenson referred very
interestingly to the change of presi-
dents which was made. Mr.. E. G.. Leigh
who has served as president for the
past seven years, resigned and Mr.,
Var Hose, of Birmingham, was elect
ed in his stead.
Mr.. Van Hose, said Mr.. Stevenson,
is a large wholesale grocer, and was
formerly mayor of Birmingham. His
administration was signaliZed by an
era of great prosperity. His education
was for the Episcopal ministry and
for many years vas active in his min
isterial capacity. His council is now
sought for in the affairs of his church.
He is a man of liberal education, broad
views, conservative, and S~crupuiously
honest, n frank in every word and
act. The meeting was entirely harmo-
NOUS, and so pre-eminently fitted for
the place was he that the sentiment OF
the convention rapidly chrystaliZed
upon Mr.. a Hose for president.
In speaking of the general trad n
ditions, Mr.. Stevenson said thai while
the trade centres report considerable
disorganization on account of the sugar
war raging for the past two years, yet
prosperity seemed general in spite of
this fact.
Yesterdays Charleston News and
Courier in it's report of the convention,
makes the following reference to the
Wilmington delegation:
wilmington sent a strong delega-
ton to Charleston. Among the Viii
mington delegates were Messrs. j. c.
Stevenson, P. Pearsall, w. B.. Cooper
and l.. B. Rogers. Mr.. Stevenson, who
is one of the older members, took an
active part in much Of the debate be-
fore the house, and was a big support
err for peace and harmony in the selec-
ton Of a president"

SUCCESSFUL CLOSING EXERCISES
Pupils of Miss Corbett's n Miss Nc
Millan's Fletcher Musfc Schoo Ac-
quit Themselves With Especial
Credit.

The closing, exercises of Miss Fannie
Corbett's and Mrs. Annie McMiIlan's
Fletcher method music school were
held quite successfully in Schubert
hall yesterday afternoon. There was a
large company of patrons and friends
of the school in attendance and all
praised in the highest terms the work
done by the various pupils, as demon
strating the excellence of the Fletcher
method and effectiveness of the in
struction accorded the pupils by their
gifted instructors. The first feature Of
the programme was al interesting ex-
erciSe talk by Miss Corbett. Then there
followed highly successful tests of the
proficiency Of the pupils in reading
notes, placing division bars. reading
signatures. b mental division of time,
musical history and playing scales
harmonic, melodic and major.
After the exercises there was an ex-
hibit of Fletcher method material. The
session Of the school has been espe-
cially successful.
