LOCAL OBSERVATIONS.

AAcHRS oA interest flcked Up Here
and There in the City During the
Past Week-Yacht Races Draw
Immense CrOwds-Many Big Men
Here.
Woman Suffrage was the sub
ject Of discussion at the literary club
last Wednesday evening, which was
held at the A. Nd. E. church. This
is a subject that always proves an in
terestlng one wherever it is dis
cussed, owing to the fact that women
are the chief factors Of our civiliza-
ton. Granting the same rights to
women as to men always calls forth
hot debates on the part of those who
are for and against the proposition.
Next Wednesday evening the club
has arranged for an interesting pro-
gram, with Mr.. John II. Ryan and
George H. Rideout as the leaders in
the debate, while Mrs. George II.
Grose will recite, Mr.. B. T. Tut will
sing, Mr.. S. Hall will crate, Mr.. Gay
ton will sing and the Misses Daisy
and Maggie O'Brien will render a
musical duet.
Senator Albert J. Beveridge, Of
Indiana, was a guest Of this city a
couple of days this week and chatted
at length for publication on the af-
fairs Of the Orient, from which he
has just returned.
The most gigantic structure that
the water front has been promised
for some time is the Colman dock,
plans for which have been drawn and
sumbitted for the approval Of Mr.. J.
M. Colman and his son. 1t is hoped
by them to have the dock ready for
use early in next year.
The opening of the state univers-
ity last Wednesday with the largest
opening attendance in the history of
the university was a very au-
spicious occasion for the faculty and
students and they feel especially
produ of it. :
Ex-United States Senator Thomas
IL. Carter was looking over Seattle
this week and discussed national
politics quite extensively with the
editorial staff of the Post-Intelligen-
er, not overlooking the fact that he
had been prominently mentioned in
connection with a cabinet portfolio.
The trial of the Van Kurans and
George Dickinson, jr., has been on
tap for three days of this week and
IS not finished as we 60 to press
These young men are being tried fol
assaulting an officer, and the prose
cutting attorney is straining every
nerve to convict them. Thus far the
evidence has been quite conflicting
and it will be difficult question fol
Judge George to fathom.
The second yachting contest be-
tween the Columbia nd the Sham

this report have been taken by the
editor of the South Western Chris
tan Advocate, who claims that just
the reverse would be true if a correct
census of the state were taken. That
paper claims that the enumerators
nagrantly failed to enumerate the
cOIored citizens full and complete.
while it did just the opposite in emu
meratlng the white citizens, and In
substantlation of this assertion it
points out the fact that neither him
self nor any Of his office force was
ever called upon by census enum-
orator, and that hundreds of persons
Of color almost within a stones
throw of his office were similarly
shghted by the enumerators. Ii
there is any truth In this charge,
then the united States government
Is the sufferer thereby, as such flag
rant frauds lnJure the whole coun
try much more than they do the
colored folk. The idea OF a census
is to get correct statement ri the
exact condition of the country IN ev-
cry particular, and when this is not
done, and for sinister motives at
that, then the vast sums of money
expended for this purpose is a total
loss, as there is no correctness what
ever IN any report the superintend-
ent OF the census may subsequently
make concerning the status OF the
country. Ii frauds have been perpe-
trated III LOUISIANA, they have prob
ably been perpetrated In every
Southern state, and it is the duty OF
congress to look into the matter be-
fore the superintendent makes his
final report and is discharged.

Though The Republican has not
looked up the Y. M. e. A. status of
this city, yet 1t Is Of the opinion that
the results would not be much more
encouraging than those OF Tacoma.
There is altogether too much liberal
lty IN the rearing of boys on the part
OF parents by allowing them to fol-
low such pursuits in breaking the
Sabbath as they desire, and when pa
rents will have learned to restrain
their boys more, the membership of

NO VICE PRESIDENT.
AS matter of information an ex-
change announces that the United
States at present is without vice
president, and will be SO until after
The next inauguration of a president
and vice president. 1t is enormously
believed Dy a great many persons, so
says the exchange, that the president
pro tenn OF the senate became vice
president of the United States when
Mr.. Roosevelt became president, and
In case of the death of Mr.. Roosevelt
the president pro tenn of the senate,
which is Hon. William ?. Frye,
would become president of the Unit
ed States, but this is, however, mis-
take pure and simple. Ii Mr.. Roose-
velt should die before his present
term Of office expires the secretary of
state would become president, and in
case of his death, the presidential
succession would pass to the various
cabinet officers in accordance with
their rank Of office, but the office of
vice president is vacant and will re-
main so until after sthe next cleo
ton and Inauguration, though the
president pro tenn of the senate, who
ever he may be, will fulfill all of the
functions and duties of the vice pres
ident SO far as presiding over the
senate is concerned.

GEORGIA COLonED FOLK.

Discussing the Negro problem Of
Georgia, Prof. w. E. Burghart Du-
Boise, one Of the most noted colored
writer's of the age, makes the follow
ing undenlable statement: ''At the
beginning of the Civil war 10000
whites in Georgia owned 100000
blacks, but at the close of the war
all of these blacks were turned loose
without either means or experience
to make a living for themselves.
During the first decade extending
from 1864 to 1874 those Negroes
had secured 100000 acres of land
and over $4,000,000 worth of other
property, all conservatiVely valued at
", 100000. During the next decade
the blacks, owing to the Ku Klux
outrages and the breaking of the
freedmen's bureau, lost ground
During the next decade, however,
conditions changed and they IN
creased their property about 100 per
cent, swelling the amount from &c.
100000 to $15,000,000 During the
decade beginning in 1891 the panic
proved very disastrous for them, and
they did not hold their own when
compared with the previous decade.
With the return of good times in
1897 and since then the blacks have
profited, as have the whites, and they
now have property valued at $16,-
100000 in the state of Georgia, or
on an average of $125 for each fam
lily of the state. All of which is a
most creditable showing for a race
OF people enslaved as long as were
they, and who have been oppressed
by their superior neighbors from
time to time as have the Negroes
been. The outlook for the race in
Georgia from this report is very en-
couraging and as in Georgia so in
most of the states of the South.

PAVILION FOR THE PARK.
Will be Erected on Cliff Along the
Brandvwine.

The Board of Park Commissioners has
q project on hand which if carried out
will be Il great attraction to Brandy
wine Park. The board c0ntemplatrs
erecting large pavilion near the cliff at
the north end Of Washington street
bridge. A pavilion is something that
HAS been needed in the park for years ana
when erected it will be al attractive
feature. 1t will not only be Il place
where those who frequent the park can
sit and rest ut the same time getting Il
beautiful view Of the Brandywine but
will also be great protection in case of
storm.
Bids were recently received and r"l'i
1t a meeting Of the executive COMMITTEES
hut ut the suggestion of Engineer Lris"H
Of the possible advantage Of certain
changes in the plans and specticatins,
new bids were asked for. The matter
was then referred back to the engineer
TO secure the bids on modified specified
tons. The new plans substitute ull iron
for the concrete columns. which will
make the pavilion more substantial. The
Idea of the Board of Park Commission
ers'is to erect Il pavilion which will stand
for years. The new bids are expected
In about week and Il special meeting
of the board will probably be- called
to take action on them.

BASEBALL TEAMS GAL0RE
'ilmington MAY Have Three Semi
Professional Clubs.

Wilmington has become such popular
baseball city that there will probably be
three sen.i-profcssionul teams here next
year. The Rrownson Library .Associa-
ton on August obtained ii charter from
the Secretary of State under the nam"
Of Wilmington Baseball Club, with Il
capital stock Of $4,000.
On August 90 Il new organization Oh
tanned II charter in Dover under the
title of the Wilmington Baseball Clnh,
Incorporated. The incorporators nre
Erank II. Alexander and John III.
Stil-lith and the capital stock is $1,000.
Certificates Of incorporation were filed at
once in the office of the recorder of
deeds for New Castle county.
At this jJncture hitch came which
may lead No legal complications. The
incorpora'tnrs of the original charter faIl.
ed to. record certificates as soon us their
charter was obtained When the new
organization applied for the necessary
papers, they were refused on the ground
that charter for Il club using the name
Wilmington already had been recorded.
The impression prevails, however, that
the papers issued first by the Secretary
Of State will be the legal ones.
1t is also claimed that the Peoples
Railway Company contcmplatcs errctin"
a ball park at Sixth street and Greenhill
avenue.

Following instructions given by the
Police Commissioners at their regular
meeting last night Chief of Police Massey
will today notify saloonkeeprrs that the
screen law aplirs to Sunday as well as
Other days. II is customary with saloon
keepers to close their shutters on their
places of business and pull down tn"
curtains on Sundays.
Certain people question whether this
is done to hide what may be going on
inside. The commission was asked
whether keeping the shutters closed nni
the curtains drawn on Sundays was II
violation of the screen law.
The commissioners asked City Solicitor
Rrinlrar,.t for an opinion on the matter.
His opinion. which was submitted to the
board last night is that as nothing is said
in the ordinance about Sunday. the whol,
time covered in the license is included
and thus il is a violation Of the law
to screen the windows of saloons on
Sundays.
