PORTRAIT SHOWN
Has Been Exhibited by
Gerard Barry
Interesting Wedding IN Graee
Church To-night---Pretty
Home Wedding

There are half a dozen portraits by
Gerard Barry on view in Earles CAL
leries, No. SIG Chestnut street, pLila-
delpbia, THAI are of more than Ordi-
nary interest. Mr.. Barry is voung
Irish painter, who, although we'll
known in New York and Chicago,
where he has painted portraits of
prominent people, is as yet little
known in the East. However,. he has
many friends in Wilmington. His
latest portrait is a three-quarter length
of General Wilson in uniform, and is
very successful as a likeness and salts
factory as a painting. Among ether
portraits are those of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry b. Thompson, of Wilmington:
Mrs Yarnall and a daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mitchell Harrison. All are most
agreeable portraits, painted with much
skill and good in color. a certain air
of refinement is not the least charm in
Mr.. Barry's work and the effect is al
ways pleasing.

Every day makes more manifest the
national Importance of General Fun
ston's capture Of Aguinaldo. It has de-
moralized the Tagal insurrectionists,
and, coupled with the captured chief
tan's peace manifesto, practically has
put an end to serious military opera
tions in the Philippines. President
Mckinley is sincerely desirous of the
establishment of peace in the colonies.
and his amnesty order is having a de-
cided effect upon the lieutenants and
other followers Of Aguinaldo, who has
declared publicly that the insurrection
was a mistake, and ought to be aban-
doned at once. The considerate treat
ment which Agninaldo has received
at the hands of the Americans has
served materially to soften the feelings
Of the natives.

headed by the friends OF General Butler.
is criucising the list of honors gazetted
in connection with the military service
done in South Africa. 1t is alleged
that he has shown indiscriminate and
haphazcrd recognition to every Off
Ger above a certain rank, and that the
honors conferred upon a certain few
Officers known to the public as having
displayed an extraordinary degree OF
military talent, are insufficient to dis
tinguish them properly. II even is

in the attacks Of this cabal. The fact
which stands out most prominently be-
fore the people is that Lord Roberts
went 10 South Africa and broke the

so, and that he then left the paciica-

BOYCOTT THREATENED

The Tobacco Trust is threatened
with a boycott Of large proportions.
II is being inaugurated by the South
ern Tobacco Journal. which says:
For the last ten years the South
ern Tobacco Journal has fought for
independence i'm tobacco manufactur-
ing, urging the passage Of laws that
would regulate trusts and give chance
TO independent manufacturers; hut
after this long struggle there seems to
be no remedy forthcoming from thatdi-
rection, and to-day the trust IS more
fragrant and more powerful than over
before It looms up before the to-
bacco grower, the consumer and the
Independent manufacturer wiUh an
arrogance which says. within a few
years more this entire industry will
be within my grasp and my power will
be undisputed everywhere"
In the face Of this condition which
confronts the tobacco trade, and IN
all lines Of industry, we see but one
remedy left for freedom. This rem
edy lies IN the organization OF the
consumers of the country into leagues.
plodging themselves to buy nothing
that is made by a trust. A movement
is now on foot looking 10 this end,
which movement has been suggested
by the Southern Tobacco Journal. and
its plans of operation practically
adopted. There will probably be al
meeting OF independent tobacco manu-
tacturers in May, to which other man
ufacturers in all lines will be invited.
This meeting is TO formulate plans for
starting the Antitrust League OF
America, and arrange to put active
organizers in every large city in the
country. State organizations are to
be perfected, and through each State
organization county organizations will
be arranged, so that every farmer inI
the United States will have a chanco
to join this one organization which
promises him better prices for his pro-I
ducts.
The plan OF the organization will be
TO form Antitrust Leagues in every
community in this country. each
member signing n printed pledge not
to buy an article made by a trust, and
as far as possible not to patronize
stores which handle trust-made goods.
There will be no membership fee. no
cost whatever to the members. Each
member will be furnished with litera-
ture, giving the names OF goods made
by trusts in every line OF industry,
and also a list OF goods made by in
dependent firms Each organization
will have several local addresses de-
)livered at regular intervals. showing
that the only safety for the country
and for independence in business
lies in doing away with trusts
Such fight as that will be inter
teresting and novel, to say the least
and # may assume proportions which
will result in the growers and con
sumers obtaining proper redress.

was found in her cot with her arms
outstretched as though appealing for
mercy.
The watch dog was killed with a

for help during his struggle. but the
