Days Celebration at She'll
pot Park

II has been said that the Red Men al
ways take a crowd wherever they go
and this fact has been daily demon
strated by the crowds that have attended
their celebration at Shellpot Park the
last two evenings. Judging by all ap-
pearances the crowd at the park will be
the largest this year that they have
ever had. There were several thou
sand people there last night and all
were pleased with the compliments on
the beautiful scenes and sahleauN as
presented by the women Of the Degree
Of Pocohontas. The field was crowded
with friends and sightseers to see this
performance which for the first time was
ever given in Wilmington. and from
what could be learned last evening the
Pocohontas are going TO start in at once
TO prepare something for next year that
will eclipse anything ever presented
along these lines.

CITY CHAT

Pons-frcc writing pens-new pons.

have disappeared from the County
Court House recently I'm alarming
numbers. ono of the trust companies
has lost so many pens that it recent

Now when you visit an Office and find
one of the pens you take It up ana
ask; Are they giving these pens
away?" and then some one answers.
oh, no-er-cr-er-- not quite, but
got one"
Recorder OF Deeds Billany had a
dozen pens to disappear from his Cour'
House Office in one week and from all
tho offices IN the Court House the same
thing happens
Detective Harry l. Gillis: No officer
should be asked 10 bring a prisoner
across the country Two men should
be sent after a desperate criminal. The
officer needs rest and sleep and it is
almost impossible for him to watch a
prisoner Take for instance a man
who is without sleep for two days and
the other man being as good as the
officer then the officer is running a
risk Travel with a prisoner who
faces death. life Imprisonment or a
long term and he is likely to take n
chance. Here is an instance where a
colored man was arrested In California
and while being brought back TO Cecil

at York and escaped from the sheriff"
