SOCIETY.

Society has again taken up its sceptre and will wield it in very en- ergetic manner during the next six months. One can easily count on so- cial season that long in this part Of ths country. The balmy days and beauti- ful evenings are incentive to tally-ho parties, picnics. dances, and afternocn teas Phoenix promises to be very gay this winter and the matrons and maids are anticipating q most enjoyable time One particular attraction will be the good companies which will appear al the Patton Grand. The balls will probably be very swell affairs and the house parties more elaborate than ever. Orange blossoms are beginning to shower down and next month several of the most popular couples Of Phoenix will be unitsd in the holy bonds cf mat rimony.
 With the advent of the social season one can hear on all sides, What shall l wear this winter?" Jus. now it is tco warm for winter garb during the day and tco cool at night for summer gowns. so We are betwiXt and betwecr but there are going to be many lovely costumes this winter. I think the styles are just at the pretty medium now When the fashions are so ultra they soon ''go -Cut," and then Cne wishes ones dress had not been so de- cided, but the styles this winter arl unusually pretty and will probably fast a little longer than these of the pre- v;ous seasons.

 With the coming of the theater We must think reasonably of the hat ques- tion. Pity the sorrow of the theat,r ger. Having by gentle violence and courteous threats overcome the tower ing hats, his gallant efforts in behalf of humanity have suffered grievous checkmate by the woman who adorns her head with few appropriate orna- ments. If there is anything mere oD- jectionable than the picture hat to the earnest lever of the stage view, it is the new theater headdress of flowers jewels, tulle and what not Just now the evening toilette demands the hail arranged high, and isn't that enough without torturing the poor victim be- hind you who is praying inwardly fol just one glimpse" Of the soubrette's saucy twirl.

Interesting Report of the Work OF the
Association.

interesting Report of the Work OF the
Association.
The Young Mems Christian Assoca-
ton was organized in Newport News
IN the latter part of 1883. just ten years
ago The first rooms We're opened in
what was then the Bailey Bilding" in
the Opera House block. The work was
continued there until December 1891,
when it was moved into the Ivy Build
ing just opposite.
During the first three years there were
many obstacles and discouragements
and the directors were on the point of
giving up the ship several times; but
the characteristic faith and energy of
the ladies composing the Ladies' Aux
iliary saved the day and the continued
existence of the association is due to
their noble efforts Each year has seen
some growth, but the year Of 1898 has
been the banner year of the association
The total membership at the beginning
of the year was IT'S. during the year the
high Water-mark was reached with 315
lamesiOn the roll. In August it became
necessary to move into larger quarters,
and the two floors over the postoffice
were rented and fitted up to be used by
the association.
BY this move more then twice as
much room was secured. More appara-
tus was put in the gymnasium and bath
rooms and locker room We're added to
the equipment. The night school, which
had heretofore been held at the Twenty
eighth street school building, was
moved and is now held with the other
work in one building. Glasses in stem
o5raphy and naval architecture were
added to the curriculum. The total en-
rollment is 62 and there are 20 men.
There are twenty men in the
gymnasium class and fifteen boys in
The Junior class
The meetings on Sunday continue
with added interest and attendance
Besides the regular work the associa-
ton has been of great help to very
| many men in other ways. Situations
have been secured. the needy helped.
and a home kept open for the young
men who otherwise would be without
the influences and advantages of that
best of all places.

These figures convey very little idea
o. the actual amount shipped, and the
general reader may arrive at better
understanding if few illustra tions are
furnished
The average amount Of coal carried
by a car is 80 tons, and the cars are
35 feet long. The average cargo Of a
coal carrying vessel may be placed at
$500 tons. and the average length of
these vessels at $50 feet.
Each ton of coal will average forty
five cubic feet, and make block three
feet square and five feet high.
Adopting these figures. the following
results are readily calculated.
The coal shipped from this port dur
ing the present year would load about
one thousand ships, which vessels, if
placed end to end would reach some
forty-seven miles. or from the coal pier
considerable distance out into the At
lantic ocean.
This coal would load 59,ss2 cars, which
would require switch three hundred
and ninetX-seven miles long to hold
them. THEY would stretch from New
port News to Washington, and then
back to Newport News.

THE, POSTOFFtSsIs.
Reading of This Barometer Of tile City,s
e Growth. No

Newport News is justly proud of
her post-ofhce, and it is an institution
N which every one in the city is vitality
interested. AS q barometer of the
sraWth Of the municipality, there is
nothing like post-office, and the local
lot of 1t, f1guratiyely speaking, for the
growing metropolis Of the Peninsula.
The authorities in Washington, real
ling the Importance of this point, have
show q disposition to do everything
possible to develop the facilities Of the
service here. There has been intro
duced into the office within the last few
days. anew electric cancelling machine,
OF which note has already teen made.
Sub-stations were recently established
for the benefit Of patrons OF the office in
the East End ana Rockets.
Another carrier has been applied for
and VIII doubtless be allowed. He will
be given route on the south side of the
railroad. The office has recently been
listed as one of those to receive emer-
gency storm signals. and this will be a
great boon to those who are curious
! about what is going to happen to the
weather.
It is only a question of very few
years before this office enters the first
class, Which itswll do when it's gross
receipts come up to $4,000 annually.
At present it is in the second class
and is increasing in the matter of re-
ceipts very rapidly. For the fiscal year
ending June so. 1897, the total business
transacted by the office amounted TO
SS5.67S.41; the next year showed the
amount increased to $1o5,os4.04. This
year it is estimated that the business
will reach not less than 100000.

1925 Alhambra street, was dying Of rtar-
walton. He ordered Officer Richardson to
look into the case, and with the aid Of DR..
Hagan the officer did so. It was found that
Mrs. Harrahan has been living with her
son-in-law and daughter, named Lieger,
but the latter left the city last Sunday to
visit some friends in Riverside.
Mrs. Harrahan was left at home, a neigh
Dor agreeing to take care Of her. When
the neighbor went to the house she found
the door locked and to her knocks for ad-
mittance the inmate continued deaf. 1t
was feared that Mrs. Harrahan had been
attacked with fainting spell. The officer
effected an entrance, however, and dis
covered that Mrs. Harrahan was far from
starving or, indeed. from dying of thirst.
The neighbor agreed to care for the woman
until her relations returned, so Mrs. Har-
rahan was not sent to the receiving hos
pital. She did not offer any explanation
regarding her reasons for locking herself
in the house.
