Der. Captain Farnsley and Lee DOR

The coal famine Is still on here
and steamboats, find II hard to secure
supply of fuel.
The Henrietta will go into Tonnes

The Dick Fowler started out this
morning for Cairo and will run until
the ice starts In the upper Ohio. II is
thought she will be able to work for
two weeks at least.
The ferry boat started out this
morning to make the Illinois trip,
but on account of the shore ice and
shortage in deck hands, had to
abandon the trips. The boat can not
get any one to handle the lines and
the Bette owen will lay up until the
weather moderates and deck hands
will work.
The rivers are falling above and
unless the weather moderates and
rain enough falls to start the ice in
the Ohio, little relief is expected.
One river man stated this morning
that he hardly expected the Ohio to
open up before the first of next
month. He said that the rivers above
were falling. and that the little rise
at Evansville was Green river water.
A rise at Pittsburg with rain and
moderation of the weather, will start
the ice in the Ohio and this Is what
the river men are hoping for most.

NOTES AND PERSONALS.

In contrast to the preceding season so- ciety is decidedly more quiet. With the exception of one or two delightful after noon events and small bridge parties and the most informal luncheons and dinners, there is little entertaining From now un- til the holidays when will begin the dances for the young people who will return from college for a week more entertain- ments of a formal nature will not be frequent. People are busy with holiday shopping and the women who play bridge have less time for cards.
 After the holidays society will be much gayer although there is as yet no prospect for any large mid-winter balls Society is rather pining for a big costume affair, a ball masque, or something equally pie turesque, and If one of Birmingham s beautiful hostesses would only give a bal poudre society would be under everlasting obligations to her.
 MT and Mrs. w. P. Pinckard intended giving a large reception early in Jan uary to their debutante daughter Miss Marie Pinckard, but the recent burning of lnelf mousse VIII prevent lnelr entertaining this winter or at least as early as they intended. Miss Pinckard, who is graduate of Vassar, is a charm ing girl She is very literary in her tastes and the Pinckard house which contained such a fine library and several magniii- cent paintings was well suited to the tastes of the young daughter of the house. When Miss Pinckard was at Vassar she had one or two of the paintings sent to her for the seniors parlor, the furnish ing of which is always done by the young women in the senior class.

Tobacco Men Dissatisfied.

Washington, December 12-(Special.)- The producers of cigar leaf and cigarette manufacturers are claiming that the ways and means committee, in beginning hear ings tomorrow on the Philippine tariff bill, have not properly considered their in- terests inasmuch as the short time does not give them the opportunity to appear before the committee and advance argu- ments against the passage of the bill. It Is stated that they could not possibly get here before Saturday and really did not expect the house to give consideration to the measures before the holiday recess. The committee tomorrow will meet how ever, and is willing to hear all those who wish to appear before 1t. The sentiment in the committee is strongly in favor of tho bills passage and it is not likely that it will be delayed for great while.
