ST THE SILENT DOCTOR
His Meetings at Front and Market
Streets Growfng-People With Aches
and Pains Go to Him and Walk Away
Relfeved-A Remarkable
stance

The meetings of the divine healers,
which have been going on day and
night since Thursday, are growing. DR..
Gilbert, the healer, said last night af-
ter the meeting that the people seem
to be much interested. but that the
collections have been small. He makes
no charge for healing but he and the
Rev. Mr.. Sutton. who is with him de-
pend on the free will offerings of the
people.
Last night an immense crowd was
out to see the strange doctor and quite
a number went up for treatment. Peo-
pie with toothache and other pains
went up and walked away saying they
were relieved. A great many ru-
mors are rife and many have
said they were benefited by the lay
ing On of this strange, silent mans
hands, but The Messenger is not pre-
pared to speak authoritatively on the
matter. We, however. missed some
thing remarkable yesterday. A report
er was sent for to see a young lady
who is a deaf mute whose hearing and
power of speech had been brought to
her, but he was out at the time and did
not see her. Well known citizens who
saw her acting like she heard n ut
tering sounds and words. tell us that
it is a remarkable case. We were
urged to call and see her last night, but
the hour was too late.
The preaching of DR.. Sutton is draw
ing large crowds and an immense meet
ing is expected both this afternoon at
8 o'clock and tonight at 1880 o'clock.

VALUABLE IMPROVEMENT
THE MACkDAM ROADWAY ON NIXON
STREET COMPLETED.
1t Forms a Junction With the Macada-
mized Road to Castle Haynes and At
the Cfty-The Truck Farmers Greatly
Benefited by the Improvement.

Mr.. James A. Perry, superintendent
Of streets, who has had a force of
hands at work macadamizing the IN
finished link on Nixon street to the
county's macadamized road leading .
Castle Haynes, completed the work
yesterday. He now mas his hands at
work putting down macadam OF
Orange street. between Sixth and
Ninth streets. and is completing the
macadam roadway on Sixth street be-
tween Orange and Ann streets.
The macadam roadway on Nixon
street n its junction with the Castle
Haynes road, makes a very desirable
improvement that has been long need
ed. The county has laid d good
cad o to a point beyond the
poor house, so that carts coming to the
city along the Castle Haynes road have
easy rolling for three miles. The three
miles Of macadam cover one of the
worst stretches of road that ever ran
into Wilmington. It formerly was a
deep sand road over which it was i'm
possible ito haul a half load of produce.
The result of the improvement IS that
the truckers several miles out on that
road a now haul to town just twice
as much In one load as they could for
merly do. Beyond the macadamiZed
end of h county road there is a very
good roadway already but the county
is pushing the macadam with its con-
vict force and will complete it all the
way to Castle Haynes.
The new o will make a popular
drive out of the city now. Where the
county bridge crosses Smiths creek
there is one of the most picturesque
scenes about Wilmington, and beyond
the bridge for several miles truck
farms dot the road. Just beyond the
bridge is Mr.. John r. GarrelPs fine
truck farm, San Souci, and it will now
take but a few minutes to drive out
there from the city.

The airy. fairy, tinsel-like form of
amusement, burlesque and vaudeville,
which is so popular with the majority
of theatregoers, will be the attraction
at the Auditorium tomorrow night and
1t will be interpreted by the Sapho
Burlesquers. an organization new to
this city, but which has made a repu-
tation for itself and already ranks
among the foremost organizations of
it's class this season. 1t will come
here equipped with the same elaborate
scenery and gorgeous wardrobe that
/ was used at Hammerstein's Victoria
theatre, New York. The comedians
! clever, the vaudeville performers are
stars in their respective lines while
the chorus is composed of handsome
and talented burlesduers. The enter
tainment will be found sparkling with
novelties and there will not he dull
moment throughout the length of the
program. The closing burlesque is en-
titled "Sapho" and as its name i'm
plies, it is full of mischief and deviltry
