zens' Interests Well
special to Tho Evenlns journal.

Dover, Dec. 21.-The funeral OF
George A. Wilmington. late proprietor Of
the Capital Hotel, took place this after
noon, persons from various parts of the
Peninsula attending. His active and
prominent life made for him a large
circle Of friends.
One Of many incidents related Of Mr..
Mnllngton during his public life was in
connection with an effort to hold a big
Fourth Of July celebration in Dover, at
which the military and other depart
ments Of the State were to participate.
He was then president of Council and
when the matter of a big appropriation
came before that body he killed it with
his vote. Some Of the promoters,
slightly irrltated and nonplussed at his
action. openly retorted that the hotel
proprietor was voting money out of his
own pocket when he replied
'I would much rather contribute my
last dollar TO this project out OF my
own pocket, than vote this money from
the peoples treasury when they can III
afford it,"
Although liquor dealer an his life
he was strictly temperate and would
promptly eject a man from his hotel
who attempted to violate any Of the
/ laws Of the State.
When the three Democratic Assem-
blymen began voting for Addicks under
suspicious circumstances In 1899, Mr.
Mnlington, then Democratic county
chairman. promptly called a meeting OF
all Democratic voters and not only con.
tributed to a fund to investigate thJ
affair but led the movement to read oui
Of the party the legislators who had Sc
changed front.
When trolley promoters were in viol'
ent rivalry here and began tearing NJ
the streets to get the first foothold, th'
deceased. who was then president O
Council. pushed his way through tn
crowd and arrested the workmen, fore
men and promoters.
