hid behind that famous bush last
night when he heard the noise ol
Wilmington. Three thousand peo'
pie iourneyed from here to l'h!la-
delphia to see the monster salute
10 the new century bv the people oil
the City Of Brotheriy Love. Some
of them were rather uneasy tetore
they arrived there on account OF
block on the F., W. & b. Railroad
above Chester, where the trains
we're delayed for over an hour.
But new centuries are not greet
ed every day and the stars must
forgive.
it really was the old town.
That deafeping, sphere jarrlng
racket was the anthemot thousands
OF voices OF men, voices OF brass.
voices Of steel. voices OF tin aud
wood, voices Of powder, deep toned.
high-toned, screaming. screechlng,
booming, blarlns, filing space with
a greeting to the new century.
The first stroke Of the Loarse-
throated bell in the City Hall dome
tells Of the passing of an old aud
the coming oil new century; bells
in many key ioln the choir, and
hurl deep vibrations into the sur
charged air; voices catch the mes
sauc from the air. andlike pickle I
fire that sweeps down the iong line
OF battle, voice alrcr voice aud noise
after noise awakes. High above
| the storm now roaring everywhere
| the boom Of gun, and steadily
breaking through the roar TIL -
have pierced the night and new
the battle is at its height, the storm
at its chief carnival, the heaven
| aching with the soar--no toiterlng
OF systems. not the clash OF worlds,
but Wilmington glorious welcome
! to new born century.
| The century that found the city
Il Struggling village, doing in The
sur. lett il mammoth metropolis ;
with lis sky dartcncd by the smoHc
| OF vast industry. This was re-
membcred and the farewell was re-
gretIul Tor it was laden with ap-
! rrcciation. But The sadness OF
The parting and he happiness OF
the greeting blended in a new feel
ing. There is crying Tor sadness;
there is laughter Tor happiness.

serted and the leople ol Delaware S
