it uns vurl?usly celebrated. For Most
part, -people biul a good ante, enjoyed
the day. were happy. There were v.:\
lew people in Norfolk who did not go:
enough to eat and have something ex
.tra besides. At -the several mlssrans,
charitable Institutions' ulmshb?sc. and
jail, dinners were served lit for any
man.
Ail tho public ofllccs. banks, business
houses, with row exceptions, were
dosed and, .-trt r i very noisy night to
tishcr ii in. the day was quiet and Kuii
day-llke.
Tin- churches, in which special Clirlst
, mns .services were held, were all well
j attended in tii ? morning, and the mu?
sic nt nil was unusually good. Christ?
mas music was sung, ?too, nt all the
churches Sunday nVarnlng, some of it
being very beautiful.
Donations 'to the dlfforont homes in
the oily were bountiful and substan?
tial; for the well-to-do In their own
pleasure did not forget others less for
tuncvt is.
As usun!, II was a groat day with
?the col' ri d people, and ninny of them
'turned out to see the football game
at League Park 'between Shnw Univer?
sity and ?the Columbias.
Many Norfolk i>cople went over to
Portsmouth to see the game -between
the Woys from this side nnd 'the repre?
sentatives of our 8Inter city.
At the Academy of Music two good
performances were given to crowded
houses, standing room only being the
order at 'the matinee.
The event l>f 'the day was 'the great
dtnnter prepared by 't he kind hearted

not so fortunate n.s to have good din?
ners ait homo. It was an Intcrdenoml
naltlonnl ?treat to 'the young ones, citi?
zens tof all creeds anil walks- of life
having been very generous In their do?
nations.
Some two hundred children accepted
the invitation and seated themselves
happily around 'the three long tables
groaning with good 'things and savory.
The Rev. E. B. Hatcher, pastor or the
First Baptist church, the steadfast
friend iTf the children everywhere, and
one of the chief promoters of 'tho din?
ner, asked blessing, and a few minutes
after 12 o'clock 'the ten score ? little
ones fell to, -and such a devastation of
viands was never seen before nt any
festal board.
Then came Santa Claus In a cart, ita
which was harnessed a goat, bis rein?
deer having given out on the way. There
was great excitement In tho Juvenile
camp -when ho drove In, and 'this .wos
changed to delight when the old gentle?
man presented every. little girl pres?
ent with an order on a merchant for
a new dress, and each little boy with
au order for a pair of trousers. Then
every lane present was given a half
pound box of Huyler's, a gift of Mr.
ITofhelmer. of 'the popular shoe firm
of Hofhetmer & Co., on Main street.
The solo. "O SalularhV sung nt St.
"Mary's church Christmas day by Mrs.
W. E. Callondar was vondercd very
sweetly .and with much taste, while the
singing of her sister, Miss Lucille Hud
gins Is worthy or especial mention and
highest praise.

BIT 'HIS NOSE OFF.
The Way Two Prominent Smithfield
Youths Celebrated Christmas Eve.
On Christmas Eve at Smithfield, Va.,
W.HIIs 'Morrison, son of Colonel Mor?
rison, postmaster of Smithfield, in a
drunken frenzy bit Ernest Parker, son
of Henry P.irker, formerly proprietor
of the Smithfield Hotel, severing his
nose almost completely. As eye wit?
nesses state It, "Willis Morrison bit Er?
nest Parker'B nose clean off." The lat?
ter went to Richmond the next day for
treuitment, but It Is not thought that
anything can be done to replace the
missing member. It Is said that the
participants, bo:h young men, bitterly
regret the affair, which is but natural
In view of its ending. Both are excel?
lently connected, and the sympathy of
the Isle of Wight people is with the
families, as It is with the ybung men
In what Is regarded as> but an acci?
dental ending of nri unfortunate spree.
No one believes that Morrison, who,
when sober, Is a very good natured
young fellow meant to so malm Pair?
ker, an'd It is said that he profess;.?, t*
have no recollection of the occurrence,
and dc-ubtless tills is tine.
It is the old story, apparently:
Whiskey, a trifling qbarrel, in which
Parker knocks Morrison down, then
the maiming of tbe formen the awak?
ening after the stupor to face the dis?
grace of self and family, and to take up
the burden of bitter regret and carry It
to the grave.

The Richmond Times doesn't love
Billy Smith as a baseball manager. Note
the following:
"The engagement of Charll } Jewell as
manager of the ? Norfolk club lets out
Billy 'Smith; who for two seasons worried
the rooters of the Virginia Leagu?. and
who last season made himself unpopular
with the crowds in ths Atlantic League.
To meet Billy Smith as he Is is to be?
come acquainted with a thoroughly good
follow. He 'Is a most pleasing ma.n off
the dlanwn.fl. and can entertain his
friend.* in a most charm tag mancr. The
ball players who worked under him are
very fond of him, and would do all in
their power to do as he wished. Billy
can be a fIrat-class fellow, and thOSJ
who met him last seisan at the hotel
will say so, but if ever there was a wild
Indian, a mixture of baby and rowdy
rolled together, on a ball Held, Billy
Smith is that being when' he thinks the
umpire Is against him. This same clever
little man, who talks SO much and nice
when In citizens' clothes, will Jump up
and down en the ball Held like an Indian,
suss the umpire and the crowd like a
rowdy, and then, baby like, say T won't'
j .when he thinks he I? getting the "short
end of It. The 'baby,' as he is called,
I Is? at his homo in Knoxvllle, Tenn., hav?
ing completely recovered from the nt
tack of typhoid fever ho suffered last
season. lie may play with the Norfolk
team next season, but, thank gocdiu?s,
he will have no say."
