FIXING UP SKATING POND.

8. A. Thompson some time last
month started to fix up a skating
pond on some lots on First street, be-
tween D and e streets. The snow
interfered with the work and he tenn
porarily abandoned the work. He
has started in again and with the
present cold weather he expects soon
to have a fine skating pond.

NEW COURT BUILDING

criminal courts building which the
building inspectors have suddenly
found threatened with collapse. NO
one was allowed in the structure tX-
cent a few wOrkmen and an Occa-
s.onal eyicted court official in search
of important papers. All traffic On
the surrounding streets has been
stopped. Meanwhile three hundred
workmen are snoring up the crack
ing walls and constructing a shield
of twelve inch beams across The sur
face of Lafayette street TO prcaect
the subway beneath in case the build
inc suddenly falls into the street.
The ctys engineers expressed a
fear today that the historic Tombs
prison, which occupies a full city
block just south of the criminal courts
building. might also be affected by
the slipping of the treacherous earth
on which the foundations OF beth are
built.
The construction of the Guys sub
ways. which run beneath the streets
both in front and in the rear of the
two buildings is blamed by engineers
fer the slipping OF ,he earth.

he talks or writes about the United
States. lie displays an intimate
knowledge of all our people, customs,
traditions and public AFFAIRS that
probably very few Of our own leading
public men possess. and the c0nclu-
sions he forms concerning us are
based upon a profound study OF con.

time he appears in public in America
or writes a line concerning American
people his place In the hearts of the

It seemed peculiarly fitting that the
British government should select MIR.
Bryce as its ambassador AT Washing
ton az the time of his appointment ii
few years ago. No one doubted the
wisdom Of the choice. but even Mr.

ably did not suspect that in the
course of year or two the ambassa.

lea that he does today. Probably no

Mr.. Bryce's address before the far

NO REFLECTION UPON Mr.. GAR

MI. A L Nhes 40
can nominee for commonwealth at
torney, was defeated in the general
election Tuesday. was offended yes
terday because this paper said editor
ially that it was shame that Com
monwealth's Attorney Berkeley re-
ceived such a small majority. This
was taken by Mr.. Garrett Us reflect
ion upon himself
AS 4 matter OF fact there was no
intention to reflect upon Mr. Garrett
lie was the nominee OF the Republi-
can city convention. and as such had
a right to expect that he would poll
the full strength OF the Republican
party in Newport News. From the
result Ii appears that he not only
did this. but received neclly two hun
dred and fifty votes besides. He
made a fine run and has reason to be
rround OF IL, In a way. However. ne
lardly can feel any pride over that
portion of the Democratic strength
that supported him at the polls.
When The Daily Press said it was
shame that Captain Berkeley's major
ity was small. Mr.. Garrett as an in
diyidual was not considered in the
matter at all II Mr.. Garrett will think
over the following facts he Will I'M
derstand what the paper meant; Cap
tain Berkeley. who has made an I'M

monwealth's attorney, was nominated
for reelection In a Democratic prim-
airy in which nearly sixteen hundred
ballots were cast. receiving almost as
many votes as his two opponents COM
bined. Under ordinary circumstances
the nominee of this primary would. IN
a general election. beat a Republic
can opponent. whoever he might be.
by about two to one. Yet Captain
Berkeley received only $50 votes
Tuesday. running more thar two hun
dred behind Messrs. Curtis and Mug
Ter. who were pitted against popular
citizens of ability and standing who
had every right to expect election II
it were possible for their party TO
win a normal victory in the city. And
why was the Democratic nominee for
commemorative attorney knitted by
members OF his own party? Princi-
paIly because. by virtue OF his Of
flee. IL became his duty to prosecute
Cox. the repudiated Democratic can
iidate for constable, who was indicted

influenced very few voters. but It Is
undoubtedly fact trst the detection
Of most OF those who voted for Cox IN
spite q his repudiaticn was almost

In view Of these facts. any Demo

Sumptuous Banquet.
The banquet in honor of the Presi-
dent was in many respects the most
unique and sumptuous that the Presi-
dent has encountered in all his
travels. Nearly every course was
served on dish which was taken
home by the diners as souvenirs. AS
the President entered the $50 guests
were standing waving little siiken
flags. Al each plate was gold scarf
pin on which was enscrolled the seal
of the city of Savannah. The canape
used was served on hand painted
chiDa trays bearing the Presidents
initials Sailed almonds were served
in individual silver mounted cut glass
dishes. Diamond back terrapin ap-
peared in individual FURNISHED copper
chatting dishes which were souvenirs.
Punch was served in silver mounted
glasses: brandy in silver filigree cups
and cigars in red leather cases-all
souvenirs.
Tossts and Speakers.
AS the President arose to speak
twenty white doves were liberated
over the heads of the diners. Mayor
George W. Tiedman. of Savannah,
presided at the banquet as toast mas
ter and the speakers were as fol-
lows:

Must Buy Fifty Cents Worth
OF Stamps Daily.

The Postoffice department has
issued new order for the rural
routes. Heretofore the patrons
were expected to keep the roads
and bridges in good order, so
the mail wagons could get over
the roads without difficulty,
says the Junction City Sentinel.
And then regulation mail boxes
had to be furnished by the pat
rOnS.
Now the order is that the pat
rons must buy in the aggregate
of fifty cents per day in order to
have the route maintained.
Where their is a route that can
not furnish patrons enough to in
the aggregative buy fifty cents
worth of stamps, the Postoffice
department. will discontinue that
route according to the order
that has been issued. This will
do away with the penny nuis-
ance" complained of by the rural
carriers in all parts of the coun-
try where routes are maintained.
This nuisance is more apparent
in the winter time when the
carriers are wearing gloves and
are bundled up in oyercoats.
