Retter Fire Protection.

A meeting of prominent cltizens
was held at the Merchants hotel on
Monday evening, the 9th inst, to
further discuss the adoption OF some
~effectual e of securing better
fire protection for the city OF Iono-
pah. District Attorney Chas. l.
Richards explained that the proposal
TO bond the town for that purpose
would not be legal as it was not an
incorporated municipality, and other
means for raising the necessary
money would have to be devised
UriB Curtis and Thomas Bannerman
attended the meeting representing
the CRYSTAL Water company, and the
former gentleman renewed the o1er
made by that company last year to
the effect that if the citizens would
pay for erecting tanks on elevated
parts of the town and the cost OF a
6 inch pipe main to connect with the
Halifax reservoir and the pipe lines
to the wells, with finch pipe mains
to the more closely settled parts OF
the town, the Water company would
guarantee a constant and sufficient
supply of water free. This plar
would include thirty fire hydrants ii
different parts of the town, which
the Water company is now having
resurveyed and plated with ever,
building noted. The present com
mitttees were instructed to confe

SCHOOL BOARD OF
SEVEN IS URGED
Members of New-Century
Club Say This Would be
Proper Solution
LETTERS SENT TO LEGISLATORS

The members Of the New-Century Club
are taking an active interest in the mat
ter Of a new charter for the Board OF
Education Of this city which will be
granted by the Legislature. A circular
letter signed by Meta G. Kent, president,
and the committee on education Of the
club has been sent to each member OF
the General Assembly. It advocates a
school board Of seven members elected at
large which shall be bipartisan, giving a
minority representation OF three members.
The letter is as follows:
Dear Sir; In considering a charter for
the Board OF Education OF this city, 1t is
to be hoped It will embody these two sal
lent features. as these principles are now
in successful operation in the modern
school charters OF our American cities.
1. A school board OF seven members
elected at large. The board should be BIZ
partisan, giving a minority representation
Of three members.
An additional officer known as a busi-
ness director, employed by and subject
to the direction Of the board. at a reason
able salary, who shall devote his entire
time TO the duties Of his Office. He should
give adequate bond for the performance
Of his duties. Those duties should include
experimenting all school property. re-
pairing plumbing, procuring bids for all
expenditures, fuel, text books and school
supplies. This officer shall be one special
~ qualified and responsible for an honest
and efficient performance of these duties.
Trusting the citizens Of wilmington
an dthose most deeply interested in the
best welfare Of our public schools may
have the hearing Of your honorable body.
Respectfully yours.

Peace on earth, good will toward men
was the watchword on all sides yes
terday, the Christmas holiday, and ev-
cry effort was made by the police and
other charitable persons to bring sum
shine into even the poorest Of homes.
The features of the day were the
Christmas treat at the City Hall and
the Salvation Armys dinner to the
poor. The former by far exceeded any
previous effort of the blue-coats. Fully
500 poor and thinly clad children were
made glad by the CHEEKY reception ar
ranged for them. Numerous gifts
were handed out to the youngsters as
they passed the officers in single file
and emerged from the City Hall with
arms filled with presents and their
faces lighted up with Joy.
The Beautiful Christmas Tree.
The Christmas tree was the most
beautiful thing they had ever seen. A
halo of light from the many incandes-
cent electric lights used in the decora-
tions surrounded the stately cedar and
mass Of glittering tnsel and other dec
orations made the tree a glorious spec
tacle. Little eyes looking out from be-
meath unshorn locks opened wide with
tie minds were bewildered at the gran
deur.
Occa sionally a tot would appear in
line, having been lost. and its plain
tive cries for its mother would evoke
sympathy. In each case the mite
would be caught up in some persons
arms who would fall in line and emerge
from the building with arms filed with
presents.
The mother Of the lost youngster
would invariably be waiting for her
baby and with cries of delight the lit
tie one would run to its parents arms.
One Thousand Children Present.
Fully 1000 children gathered around
the City Hall long before 3 o'clock, the
hour set for the beginning of the dis
dribution Of the presents. All nation
alities were represented and blacks as
well as whites waited patiently for the
festivities to begin Fifty children were
admitted at a time to the police sta

The following day another gale OF
almost equal strength was encount-

done by a great wave which swept
over the bridge. One OF the heavy

with the deck. plunged through heavy
oaken door, crashed down a corridor Of
the lower deck and narrowly escaped
killing a steerage passenger.
