answered the cablegram by cabling his
blessing. He was one of the first to go
up the side of the ST. Louis when the
vessel arrived. He entered the state
room. in the cenetr of which stood
his daughter with the duke by her
side. He kissed her with certain
apparent dimness and moisture in his
ewes. and then shook hands with the
duke.

Everybody knows how he has taken
hold of the task laid out for him
since; how he has tried to make

how he has turned over millions TO

how he is working night and day that

one day inherit greater wealth.
Frank Work and His Daughter.
It was years ago when the million
aire, Frank, Work, began to play the
same role for his adughter and Eng
lish sOn-in-law. 1t was in 1881 that a
tall, handsome young man visited New
York and laid siege to his beautiful
daughter. The father opposed the
match with all his might, but they

Mr.. Work was sending them $1,000
wear to live on. 4 little later he in
creased it to $4,000. Then he cut of
all allowances. He said his daughter
had married man who never coult
or never would make living, and tina
he was tired of furnishing allowance
and paying bills at the same time. d,
With the "wherewithal' cut off, Mrs
Burke Roche soon returned with he
children. She went straight to tn

OYSTER LEAN And
SCARCE THIS YEAR

The oyster this season is neither
plentiful nor plump according to the
captains of the few oyster boats that
have arrived at the Church street
wharf, and the dealers, as well as all
those who enjoy the juicy bivalve, are
much disappointed as a consequence.
When at the opening of the season,
it was announced that the oysters
were thin ii was thought they would
be abundant as this is usually a sure
sign Of a big crop. But this is not the
case this year, the scant supply may
send the prices someywhat higher than
they are at present which is already
higher than the usual price at the
opening Of the season.
The singular thing is that none Of
the dealers or the captains are able TO
tell why the supply is short. The beds
during the summer gave evidence of
big crops, and as they were well
guarded by patrol boats, poachers
could not have made inroads suffi-
ciently large TO affect the supply. The
oystermen at present have little hope
of getting much profit out Of their
trade this season.

SOME PILOTS

There is a general complaint by cap
tains and pilots of craft Of all kinds

Several collisions have occurred and one

with disasterous results.
When dredges are at work in the
channel all boats must pass them at
reduced speed. other rules are for
mulated for the safety Of all concerned.
The dredges have to observe these reg
ulations as well as the masters OF all
other boats. but 1t is asserted the
latter disregard them altogether. The
collisions that have occurred are. il is
asserted, due to the disregard Of the
dredge captains and the complaints
have become so numerous that the

.SORROWED FOR
HIS DEAD CHUM

sobbing as though his heart would
break, his head buried in the shaggy
coat of a forlorn looking shepherd dog
a small boy was seen sitting along the
curb on East Seventh street this
morning.
The great sobs shook his frsil form
and the tears washed white lines in
the urchin's dirty face.
The dog paid no attention, but lay
fast asleep while his little master pat
ted his head and buried his tear
stained face in his side.
Upon accosting the little fellow /
asked What is the matter. boy?"
His only reply was closer hug Of
the dog and another outburst Of tears.
"Are you hurt, or lost, or what's the
trouble, little man?"
"N-no it's me-dog," he sobbed.
He's dead"
Sure enough, on closer inspection.
one saw that the shepherd dog was
not breathing, but lay cold and stiff
on the bricks. utterly oblivious to the
broken-hearted little master whose
grief controlled him again.

when crowd of bigger boys set upon

and took his part. They were friends
from that day.

Just wait until l get older and big

eyes flashed anger through his tears
There was silence for a little time
and then the little fellow laid his head
along side of the faithful "Ted's'' and
sobbed. We've been chums. hain't

FIGHTS TO END RowDYIsM.

I'd RESIDENT HARRY PULLIAM Of the
4 National League is determined to stop
rowdysm at baseball games by one method or
another Managers disposed to bully the umpire
have been suspended and they will be permitted
meekly TO resume their labors.
But Puam has a new scheme which may
work out differently from what he expects. FIe
became weary of listening to the tales Of distress
told by umpires who feared the wrath of dis
gruntled players. SO he secured a heavy weight
and fighting umpire in the person of Rger who
came from the Central League. Rigler was pre-
pared for the scrappers. When the hot air base
ball players surround him and show disposition
to fight, the new umpire throws aside his mask
and chest protector and lands his fist on the play
ers nose. The players hunt for trouble and Rig
Ter gives it to them.
To a large element of the sports who witness
the baseball games the methods of the new um-
pire will be attractive. For one single price Of
admission they will be able to see a baseball game
and part of prize fight as well. The plan will
be irresistible Cans and Battling Nelson and
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, the Hon. Jim Jeflries
and other prominent and eminent citizens should
Immediately begin to study up on the rules Of
baseball and offer their services to President Pull
liam Instead of boxing bout once in many
moons, the league could have one every few days.
If Pulliam persists in his plan feel sure that he
will halt the begerent ball players, and the poor
down trodden umpire will occupy place of high
repute even in the eyes of the disputng players.

Editor The Evening Journal
The action Of the representative
colored men the other evening in
adopting resolutions condemning
crime of all kinds, especially among
their own race, is worthy Of the high
est commentator and the white peo-
pie OF this city should recognize this
fact. IL is proved conclusively that
the negro race, at least the part Of it
in this city, are not all degenerates
and when considering the colored peo-
pie the class like those referred TO
should be given first thought. OF
course there are good and bad among
all classes. but unfortunately the bad
element among the colored men OF
Wilmington seems TO be in the ma
iorlty. 1t is, however to be hoped that
the better class win be able TO exert
their influence over the others in
order to keep them in their place and
prevent the commission of crimes Of
all kinds.
