At this juncture the keys OF the
building, symbolic Of possession,
were given to Miss Pyle by Judge
GRAY.
Il thank YOU for the keys she
said, "and | know that all the Set
tlement workers poin with me in
a heart full OF gratitude. This is
the happiest moment OF my lit,
She thanked everyone who had
contributed either financially or
by way OF donations. She said
that the settlement members by
means OF their penny day funds,
sales OF various sorts and other
original Ideals had raised more
than $4,000 for the building fund.
This is only the beginning of
what we hope to accomplish" she
concluded. This statement was
met with an ovation.
1t was brought out last night
that but $1,000 is needed to COM
plete the $4,000 fund.
William Fl. Moody, son q: the
Rev. Dwight Moody, was called
upon to say few words, and he
responded in a manner that was
Wholly congratulatory, conclud-
ing with clever bit of poetry,
the author Of which he did not
know.
J. H. Jefferis, of Philadelphia,
iormer Wiimingtonian and who
contributed several thousand dol
lars to the fund, was the next
speaker.
He said that he remembered

that infested this district forty
two years ago. He said that the
incident occurred while he was in
the employ of tailoring house
at Sixth and Market streets, and
was compelled to pass the district
TO deliver the clothes OF the rich
people on the hill.
In contrast he said this very
ground which he once traversed
in fear and trembling, last night
he passed over without tremor,
with his wife and children.
He compared the settlement
children to the rough diamond
which, after it is cut and polished
loses the dirty, somber appear
ance and blossoms out in to the
most brilliant of costly gems.
The address of DR.. H. w. Kel-
'ogg, sormer pastor of Grace
Church of this city, now OF Colum-
bus, Ol{oy who Journeyed the
thousand miles to Wilmington
just to attend the exercises of last
night was typical of this man who
during his stay in Wilmington
made such a fixed place for him
self in the hearts Of his congre
cation that hundreds of member!
of Grace Church were present las
night just to hear their fornne
pastor.
His address abounded in goo4
stories and each bringing forth
good point.
Before he closed he said that h
had requested to be allowed t
: take up a collection, but had beel
requested not to do so. Never
theless, turning to Judge Gray h
asked if such a thing would b
proper, and when the Judge re
piled in the affirmative he was ac

The amount collected an
