Switzerland and Muse.

The dramatic monologue entitled
80 sitzerland." which was given at the
Young Mems Christian Association Hall
last night. was well attended. as several
hundred peoplt were present. Miss Ade-
laide Westcott, young lady of very
pleasing appearance. represented the
characters of the story and delighted her
audience with her skill as an elocutionist.
The monologue depicted the experiences
of several Americans in Switzerland, with
the usual number OF travellers. peasants;
tourists, and children" thrown in, and
the descriptions of the mountains, lakes,
and scenery in this beautiful country were
both accurate and instructive.
A very pleasant musical programme was
rendered by several well-known Richmond
singers.
The entertainment was given under the
auspices of the Committee on Arrange
ments Of the Womens' Christian Associa-
tiOn.

OUTBREAK COMING.
WHAT MoDERATioN IN The TsMs
PsRATuRE NOW PROMISES.
Tho weather snd Buiising st Newport
News-rhs coatinusd soiidhy Of
Investments

Newport NEws, January f9--Of course.
Newport News has not escaped the incon.
yeniences Of the unprecedented cold vsys
that has swept over Virginia. but BY com.
parison that wave has not been withous
its benefits to the place. While the ther-
mometer at various points IN the State.
some OF them not very many miles from
here, went down to 10. IL, and Is degrees
below zero. the lowest registry at Newport
News was zero, and that in exposed places,
thus proving the contention that the Gulf
Stream has = decided influence upon our
climate, making IL comparatively warm IN
winter and cool in summer.
ASA PORT.
The Arctic wave has also demonstrated
that Newport News is entitled 10 all she
claims a. port and although she did noe
got the contract tor building one of tbe
United States cruisers sho must be put on
tho list for future operations, aud tho
highest anticipations OF those who predict
1t will be the greatest ship-building plant
on the Atlantic coast will DO realized.
THE ONLY BLpE ONES.

in spite of the cold weather; and though
the past year has bsen a prosperous one

20 leave il far in the lurch IN that respect.
The only persons in Newport News that arc
blue are those who are engaged IN build
ing operations. For the tirst time IN tho
history Of the place aad 1t is not likely to
occur again in decade, the temperature
has forced q temporary suspension OF
building. The hundreds of houses on
whieh the workmen were being driven 10
the throat-lstch are for the nonee at y
standstiil, and those who are putting them
up are blue simply because II Will delay
though only for a matter ot few weeks

houses that are III demand. Such is tho
money-getting spirit OF human nature.
AN OUTBREAK.
With the moderation Of the weather
and the early spring there IL going to DO
such activity in building as even Newport
News has never witnessed. and those who
have invested or may invest IN the near
future in lots and stocks of companies
here, particularly IN lots in the extension
toward Hampton, aud the stocks OF tho
Newport News Company, which controls
this plat are certain of reapIng n splendid
return. IL ls not matter OF chance but
a matter of certainty that such invest.
monts must pay heavily. and II II only q
question whether individuals or syndicates
shall be the benehciaries. Now individuals
with small capital have an equal chance

"Tbe Power Of the Press" Mt the Theatre.

"The Power of the Press" which came
here with an already acquired reputation,
was presented at the Theatre last night.
IL is an exceptionally strong melodrams,
and Is freer from faults than most OF its
kind. The story. though it Is conven;
tional. is we'll and dramatically told, and
the simplicity OF the action, Its directness,
and its freedom from useless incidents
make il interesting and even exciting.
The play is superbly staged, the scenic
effects beng very elaborate. The second
scene of the fifth act, where the bark Mary
Vale is shown in the foreground, is as ct
fectIve as any that can now be recalled.
The cast is an excellent one and Is very
evenly balanced. Perhaps the most finished
portrayal is that of @. II. RIegel as De
Witt Norwood. He is easy and natural at
oil times and makes his individuality O
distinct and delightful IMPRESSION.
The Power OF the Press" will be re:
peated tonight and tomorrow night and
also at q matinee tomorrow afternoon.
