QUIET CHRISTMAS DAY Big POSTAL BUSINESS
Anniversary of the Advent of the
Messiah Celebrated Safely and
Sanely in Alexandria.

II is generally agreed that yesrer-
day was the most serene Christmas
ever experienced by tEe. oldest Alex
andrans. But few & i6tnces of tar
rving long at the wine were notice
able. while the number of explosions
heard on the streets were less than
ever known before. Everybody seem
ed to be in q good humor, ANA the
police were rot compelled to make an
arrest.
It savored more Of Sunday than
Of Christmas. Most OF the stores
were closed during the ent're day
while a few, mostly groceries. were
onened until noon for the convenience
of persons who had been unable TO
finish purchasing Saturday night
Serene conditions continued a1ter
dark. and comparatively few people
were on the streets. Some AleXan-
drians kept open house and visits
were exchanged, us is usual on chris
mas. but all, or the great mass, mani
tested but little Of the conviviallty no.
ticed in by-gone years.
Yesterday was the first dry Christ
mas for nearly half century. During
the civil war the military attempted
to keep liquor out OF the city, but
with little success.
Many .Alexandrians visited Wash
ington Saturday night and vest 'rday'
and those who wanted stimulants pro-
cured the same. But few people III
the capital city-that is those seen on
the streets-showed effects OF too
much cheer.

Alexandria Postoiiice Handles Larg-
est Amount of Christmas Mail Mat
ter Ever Known in its History.

Postmaster Smith reports an m
crease in parcel post matter OF ap-
proximately thirty-three and one
third pci. cent. over other years at
the city postoffice for the holiday sea-
sou thus far this year. In fact. mails
Of all classes have been the largest
in the history of the local Office. En-
ira clerks and carriers were secured,
however. and both incoming and out
going mails were dispatched promptly,
not single piece Of mail matter be-
inr left in the office over night that
had not been given proper attention.
Fkery month during the past year mas
shown gratifying increase and the
business has grown to such an eN-
tent that more room is urgently need
cd for the conduct of the business IN
a satisfactory manner.
AS now arranged the clerks in each
department are compelled to DO their
york under artificial light, day III
and out all the year through, which.
in addition to the fact that the space
allotted to each is entirely Inadequate.
compells them to work at a very great
disadvantage, to the detrlment OIL
not ONLY their health ami eyeslght
brt also to the service they endeavor
to render. A proper regard for the
requirements of this branch of Uncle
Samucl's public service demands that
larger and more commodious quar-
ters should be provided.
1t is hoped that the suggestions al
ready made by Postmaster Smith to
tho department at Washington, pro-
yiIing for the purchase of additional
land and the erection of 4 much need
ed addition to the present building,
may meet with the consideration ana
approya which it merits.
Postmaster Smith has given much
attention to the matter. and the
highly satisfactory administration he
is giving demonstrates that he Is
well qualified to know what the SER
vi"e requires.

The report had it that this packet

Otherwise, it Was to he returned un-

The same report declared in the

cessions and demands:
No official comment was obtainable
here today either from the Vatican
or the court as to this report or as
TO the official view on the peace su%-
gestions contained in President vii

1t was apparent, however, that
Italian otlicialdom is puzzled by the
American suggestion, considering
thcre is some diplomatic secret be-
hind it.
The Italian press today continued

LATEA. ]. WEDDERBURN FIGHT STUBBORN FIRE
Stables Virtually Destroyed and Four
Dwellings Seriously Damaged by
Blaze and Water.

About noon today fire was disco
vered in a stable adjoining the store
and residence of William Rodgers at
the southwest corner OF Commerce
and Fayette streets. Before the
fire was discovered it had gained
considerable headway, and by the
time the alarm was sounded and the
department had reached the scene 1t
was realized that unless speedily
checked the conhagration would be dis
astrous. The fire in the stable burned
furiously, spreading quickly to the
others of the L-shaped buildings in
the court.
In a short time fire had made its
wav under the roofs of four occupied
dwellings adjoining on the west, and
the wind being from the east it
spread rapidly, and huge volumes OF
smoke rose from the roofs OF the
dwellings.
call was sent for the new auto
engine, and it soon reached the scene,
and after nearly an hours fight
with the flames the fire was placed
under control, not, however, until the
stables were virtually destroyed, and
the dwelling adjoining occupied BY
George Ballard, had been seriously
damaged. The furniture in the
house was also damaged by fire anu
water. some probably ruined.
The three houses adjoining on the
west were occupied by Robert Cllne'
Edward Williams and q family nam
ed Miller. These were also DANA
ccd considerably, especially the roofs:
Most of the furniture in the three
