stay on deck all night, one of the
party took him in out of the cold.
We arrived at Old Point at a.
IN. where we met the sgents from
Virginia, North Carolina, the two
West Virginia agencies wheeling
and Charleston, making party of
rs. Old Point Comfort is name
to conjure with. To It's natural
charms are added the romance of
history and the echoes of our
Nations life during its earlier and
later struggles. There is certain
charm in being in the vincinity of
an army post. At Old Point Com
fort you live in one.
Fortress Monroe is the banner
fort of the country for size as well
as for acertain citadel effect that
has caused it to be compared in
appearance to a walled town of the
Orient. Eighty acres are enclosed
in the ramparts OF granite rising
thirty FIVE feet In height about the
Irregular shaped field; where the
ancient live oaks have plenty of
room to reach out their gnarled
branches. The Hotel Chamberlin
where our party was quartered is
located on the government rcserva-
ton, right by the walls of the
Fortress; and the great white war
ships can anchor in. the harbor
within shouting distance of the
hotel. The Chamherlln is enormous
in size (it has a greater length than
the National Capitol at Washing
tom and is furnished magnifcently
throughout
The Prudential party had rooms
on the first floor and every thing
the house afforded regardless of
cost. Vice President Ward and
Mr.. c. II. Lang, General Manager
OF the Southern Division took the
agents IN charge from this point and
no pains or expense were spared
to make the balance of the trip a
huge success. The Vice President
and Mr.. Lang are very genial
gentlemen and made every agent
feel like a personal friend at once.
The French cruiser "Tage" was
visited during the forenoon;. and
quite number; especially the West
Virginians: went to New Port News
to visit the ship yards. The new
cruiser West Virginia was the most
interesting to the Mountain State
boys; while the Virginia and Mary.
land boys visited war ships named
Tor their States which are also being
butt there. The great German
~'N'SNi Jd|SlIG winch is under
going repairs after her recent mix
w In the Venezuelan row was also
visited;'but we were not allowed to
stay long as the Germans did not
seem very sociablc and intimsted
that they did not care 10 entertain
company during house cleaning
time. AT p. m. the banquet was
served; and goes with out saying
that the affair was a brilliant one;
coming from the source it did: and
The Chamberlin to serve it. Mr..
Pelham Blackford of Richmond Va
was toast master; and proved him.
self past master in the art OF
getting the best out of everybody.
The Times Herald of New Port
News says of the banquet:

City Council.

The "new uns" met in the place
prepared for them by the cold
uns" Monday night. this being the
initial meeting in the. new city hall.
The council chamber is a very fine
room, bui needs furniture OF some
description 10 give IT an aspect OF
completeness. The acoustic prop
ert.cs OF the chamber need fixing,
however. When the city clerk
reads an ordinance lbs ,voice re.
| verbcrates, rebounds and bellows
down the hall, making a babel OF
sound that is confusing to the
common herd seated on the ont
\ skirts OF the chambe1, and when
as 'hey did some times at this
meeting, there is pst;ect bedlam
OF sound and fairy. The council
chamber wonld make whispering
gallery almost equal to that Of ST.
Peters Cathedral IN London.
AT the initial meeting in the
new city hall Mayor Corbin pre-
sided and Alderman Marshall,
Handy, Johnson, Lamb and Sher-
man were present.
The first matter taken mp was
that OF furnishing an sr,esian
water supply. The ordinance in
force at the present time forbids
the pedi.ing OF artesian water by
any person, corporation or COM
pany. The council wants to get
around this ordinance, without
passing another aud give some
one the right to peddlc artesian
water. The problem Of inventins
a scheme to violate the ordinance,
by which the offending patty could
be held guiltless. was referred to
the city attorney. The scheme Isl
to be presented al an adjourned
meeting OF the council which is
to be held tonight.
Alderman Handy was appointed
as a committe Of one to interview
City Engineer Lewis and make Ar
rangements with him as 10 com.

ordinance provides that it shall be
his duty to see that every person
