NOT ALARMED
SAC Refusina 70 eive h Mnn..

Since the charter Of the Board Of Edu-
cation expired there has been much tarL
concerning that department Of the Citv,e
government. The latest talk is TO the ef-
feet that the State officers Will refuse IN
give Wilmington's portion Of fhe state
school fund to the city on account of the
expiration of the local boards charter.
Friends of the department. and the
members themselves, however, come bacl,
by saying that if the State refuses TO give
Wilmington its share Of the State school
appropriation on the ground THAT .ss
Board of. Education has no charter. the
schools will revert back 20 the districts
OF which they were originally composed
These districts were combined for pur-
poses Of convenience and under the law
before this was brought about each dis
trict was allowed $50 a year from the
State school fund for each teacher em-
ployed.
Under this law Wilmington will get
money from the State under any circum-
stances I'm fact, would get more than
allowed al present. And as result there
8 no serious question,about whether nhe
'ity will get any money or not.

OF TRIP ABROAD
Pleasant Tour Of Four Months
Through Great Britain
and Europe
LONDON'S GREATNESS IMPRESSED
In All the Countries Visited the Roads
Were Much Better Than Those in
the New world-Had Many Rainy
Days.


Edward Belts. Of No. 7O4 West street.
this city, recently returned from a. four
months tour of Europe. In talking Of
his trip Mr.. Belts said that he had a
most delightful trip and was well
pleased with all the countries he visited.
The trip was arranged by tourists
agents and there were ten in the party.
Mr.. Belts was the only Wilmingtonian.
The party was in charge of one conduc-
tor who looked after all baggage, tick
cts and such matters during the entire
trip.
The traveller sailed from New York
April 11th on the Princess Irene Of the
North German Lloyd Line and re-
turned on the steamer st. Paul of the
American Line, arriving in New York
on Saturday, August 18th. While away
the party was in Italy, France, Ger
many, Spain, Austria, Switzerland,
England, Scotland and Ireland.
The first stop after leaving New
York was at Gibraltar, where the party
was on Spanish soil for only a short
time. From there they went to Naples,
the islands of Sicily, up through Italy
to Rome, Florence and many other in
teresting cities. After leaving Italy
they crossed the border OF Switzerland
and then across to Austria and stopped
at Vienna for a day.
After leaving Austria the party took
trip down the Rhine and stopped at
Cologne. They then went to Paris,
where an enjoyable week was passed.
London was the next important city
visited, and there about three weeks
were gDent taking In the SIGHTS They
also travelled through England, Scot
land and Ireland, stopping at such inn
portant places as Edinburgh, Belfast
Grants Causeway, Dublin, Cork, Wales
and Londonderry.
on the Continent Mr.. Belts said they
Iorty. This did not stop them from yis-
iting all points Of interest, however.
Mr.. Belts, when asked what in his
opinion was the most interesting and
most remarkable city that he visited
replied that he could not say. London.
he said, was remarkable for its great
ness and Rome. Paris. Florence
and Vienna were all very beautiful and
interesting.
There was one particular thing thar
Mr.. Betts noticed particularly, the ex-
cellent roads. In all the countries vis-
tied they were far superior to ours
The railroad cars while not as com
Portable for individual travellers as the
ones in this country, are all right when
a party has one or two sections. He
says he saw the American flag floating
at many points and that everywhere
they We're treated with much courtesy.
The party encountered no accidents. |
and all enjoyed good health while away |

WHEAT CROP
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Spark From Threshing Machine Engine Started
Blaze on Ex-senator AIrichs' Farm
Near Glasgow

Nearly the entire wheat crop on a farm
near Glasgow. owned by ex-senator sam
uel Alrich. was entirely destroyed by
fire carly on Saturday afternoon.
AT The time of the accident the wheat
was being threshed by one Of the many
travelling threshing machines i'm that
section. The machine ran for a short
time In the morning and about so bushels
were threshcd. Shortly after the dinner
hour a spark from the engine fell and set
fire 90 the straw already threshed. In an
instant IL blazed up and before 1t could
be checked had spread to the several
stacks Of wheat unthreshed. II was about
O'Clock when the fire started and ft
burned until o'clock. Every bushcl of
wheat on the farm except the 50 bushels
threshed in the morning was DESTROYED
Evening journal., 1903-08-24

While no estimate Of the crop could be
obtained d is said 70 have been large
one
When the fire first started every effort
was made to put St out. but without any
success. Buckets of water were thrown on
the stacks Of wheat, but this seemed TO
separate the fire and cause 81 to spread
After that the workmen could do nothing
but stand by and watch h burn. The
stacks were situated close 70 the out
buildings. but fortunately the wind was
blowing from them and consequently they
did not catch on lire. The owner Of the
thresher got his machine away without IL
being damaged.
Mr.. Alrich lives in Glasgow and his farm
Is run by q tenant. There was slight
Insurance on the wheat but not near
enough 70 cover the loss.

REED BIRDS ARE HERE
Thousands Settled in Local Marshes
Last Night.

Thousands Settled in Local Marshes
Last Night.
The reed birds are here and today the
marshes are literally filled with the lit-
lie birds. They arrived last night IN
thousands. Several of the more en-
thusiastic gunners remained up until late
thinking they would come last night.
They were rewarded. About II o'clock the
first installment passed over the city and
settled In the marshes beyond. The air
was filled by the twittering Of the birds as
they went over and the sportmen went to
bed to dream Of the large numbers they
would kill, when the season opens tomor-
row.
The birds were a little later In arriv-
ing this year than generally and many
thought there would not be many. but
they We're mistaken. Those supposed to
know claim there are more birds here
now than have been seen on the local
marshes IN several seasons and every
thing Is hustle among the gunners prepar-
Ing for the opening Of the season.
