A Paris laundry has started a novelty
in the drying and purifying of linen,
and has succeeded in convincing most
OF its customers that the notion is a
good one. The air about 100 feet above
the house tops is particularly good for
linen, say the proprietots, and they
accordingly send for shirts and collars
for balloon trip. Bamboo frames are
attached 10 a captive balloon, and the
linen, trough dry" is fixed 10 the
frames and sails away 10 the air. The
balloon makes six ascents daily. and an
extra charge is made for each article
that undergoes the treatment. =

A billiard cue with a square tip in
stead of round one is an innovation
that may shortly be put to practical
test. Of course. the experts viii smile
in derision at this statement and say
a square tip would be impractieable,
but that is because they have never
tried It. A well-known amateur of
this city, who is of an experimental
and inventive turn of mind, conceived
the idea and had special cue made
with a square tip. He says it answers
every purpose to which the ordinary
cue is put. in addition TO which it has
a number of advantages over the
round tip. For one thing. it is i'm
possible TO make a miscue. The full
fcrce of the cue strikes the ball and
gives it more purchase. The point Of
contact between the rounded tip and
the ball is. perhaps one-tenth less
than that Of the square tip and the
ball. and where English is used the
latter tip assures a much greater con-
troll. The inventor Of the square tip
has applied for a patent and hopes to
introduce il through the medium Of
several well known professional play

OFFICIAL j. 5. CENSUS OF WILMINGTON IS KNOWN
The Population Of this City in Round Numbers 000 Which
Indicates Healthy Growth of 22 Per Cent.
for the Last Decade.

Wllmington's population according to
the official United States census which
will be entirely completed within the
next few days will be in round numbers
10000.
This shows a growth of % per cent. in
the last ten years which is a gratifying
showing. Wimington's growth has
been very heavy during the last year
and had the percentage of growth been
as great during the entire period the
census returns would be most surpris-
ingly large. 1t is believed however that
Wilmington has now entered on an in
dustrial boom which will continue in
definitely.
During the last ten years there has
been considerable growth over Market
street bridge, over Eleventh street bridge
and il that section on the east side north
OF Eighth street. There has been large
growth on the west side, also.
Assistant Census Supervisor James w.
Robertson, who has his office at Sll Van
Buren, street says the census enumera-
tors will all be through in few DAYS
He is conducting the work in an entirely
capable manner and is determined that
no one shall be missed.
The public has shown an anxiety to
get enumerated and quite a nunioer OF
complaints have been received BY Mr..
Robertson of persons who had been
missed.

URGED TO AIM HIGH.
Rev. B. 7. Moore breaches to
Howard School Graduates.
Graduating Class OF Colored Institu-
tion Of Learning Attend Divine
Services at Shiloh Bap-
tist Church.

THE Nation's Hope" was the subject
of an interesting sermon yesterday mo rn-
ing by Rev. B. L. Moore, pastor OF Shiloh
Baptist Church, to the graduating class
OF the Howard High School. He took
his text from the Sth chapter, Oath and
25th verses of Paul the Apostle to the
Romans: For we are saved by hope;
but hope that is seen is not hope; for
what man seeth, why doth he yet hope
for. But if we hope for that we see not,
then do we with patience wait for it,
Rev. Moore spoke of Paul as a scholar
when he was instructing and encourag-
ing the Romans. He divided his subject
into five sections and discussed them as
follows:
First, "The Hope of the Nations Fn-
ture Success is in the Education of Her
Citizens;" second, 'For Its Public. Ad-
vancement;" third, "For Its Material
Advancement" fourth, "For It's Intel
lectual Advancement" and fifth, "For
Its Moral Advancement"
ITO you graduates" he asked, "what
is your hope? Is it to wait for some
thing to turn up, or are you going tc
turn up something? You are now stand
ing on the vantage ground of your future
success and by looking about you car
see the mountain Of honor, the mountain
of speciality and the mountain OF retire
ment."
The graduates were urged to aim high
to not forget their homes, their schoo
and their city. Last but not least he
hoped that all would be christians.
The attendance at the service was un.
usually large and excellent music wa;
rendered by tile choir under the leader
ship Of Mrs. Maggie N. Elias. The
graduating class and the teachers
marched into church in body lead by
Miss Edwlna B. kruse, principal Of the
school and Miss Mary Dover one OF the
instructors. They were seated in the
front seats and paid marked attention to
the sermon.
