the slave 10 the prosecuted child of his

The Bosco-ReaIe Treasures.

over the authenticity of the Bosco-

who revealed the Saitpharnes fraud,
still asserts that the treasure is Of
modern make, and there are many
who believe. NJ Andre, who is the
most competent man to speak on the
subject, as he has had the whole Of
the pieces Of the treasure in his hands
for restoration, asserts that their au-
thenticity is without doubt Certain
parts of the work cannot possibly, in
his opinion, be initiated. as the secret
has been lost. An additional proof of
its genuineness is the Greek inscrip-

the people of Annapolis did not realize
the merit of the Howe moving picture
exhibit at the Colonial Theatre yester-
day. There was but a slim attend
ance, both afternoon and evening.
The exhibition really deserved full
house. The pictures were well select
ed, and there was not q chestnut among
them. Especially attractive were
the views of Niagara Falls and the
rapids, taken from q moving train,
and the panorama taken from the
pilot of an express train.

AGAINST
NEW CITY CHARTER
Union First District Com
mittee Passes Resolutions
Opposing 1t

j. Edward Addicks will try TO get
even with the people Of Wilmington by
the city charter which has
been drafted. The Union Republican
First District Committee, at a recent
meeting passed resolutions opposing
the charter and providing for the ap-
pOintment of a committee 10 frame q
new charter. The committee has not
been named, but will be composed OF
Addicks Republicans.
The committee also condemned the
gas company and will ask the General
Assembly TO pass a law limiting the
price Of gas. 1t is generally supposed
that both of these plans are schemes
of j. Edward Addiclxs to get even with
the people of Wilmington and with the
Wilmington Gas and Electric Com
pany. though This is denied by the
members of the committee.
Every effort will be made by charter
reformers to block any charter which
the Union Republican committee may
present unless it should be the same
charter which has been offered by tn,
members of City Council or the BOart
of Trade committee.
The resolutions adopted seem to b.
timed particularly at the Wilmington
Coal Gas Company. The part referring
to it follows:
Whereas, It is believed that the citi
zens of this city are being filched ou
of their hard-earned money by a cor
Iporation which has been given thu
right to manufacture coal gas I'm thi
city, by the imposition Of an exorbitan
price for the consumption OF the articl
manufactured.
Resolved, That the Legislature q
this State shall establish a fixed pric
of 70 cents per thousand feet to con
sumers.
