TSE ?REAT HOLIDAY
How Christmas Tide Was Ob=
served in Newport News.
BREAD UPON THE WATERS
Princely Oift of the Darlings to the Km
ployees ol the Street Railway. Six?
teen Thousand Hollars Divid?
ed Among the 3Seu.
Christmas, with its many beautiful
and tender memories, its good will and
good cheer, its happiness and pleasures,
has gone, and the people are already
looking forward to new year with its
uopes and busy prospects.
In Newport News Christmas day was
as quiet and peaceful as any other Sun?
day in the year. In all the churches
special services were rendered, beautiful
Christmas music sung, and sermons
preached, appropriate to the day and
its wonderful lesson of "pear-c on earth,
good will toward men." All of the
churches were largely attended both in
the morning and evening, and those
who went, were well repaid for it.
The real celebration of the occasion,
from the view-point of the small boy,
and those who toil for a living, came
Monday when the legal holiday was
generally observed. All public offices
were closed?at the Courthouse and
elsewhere, including of course, the
banks. The postofilce observed Sunday
hours, with the difference that one de- I
livery was made in the morning, a fact j
that was appreciated by the public. The |
shipyard closed down for the day, and I
its forty-five hundred employees took j
full advantage of the holiday, as did !
also the laborers on the sewer work. ;
At the jail the good women of the W. i
C. T. TJ. served turkey, sandwiches and I
delicacies to the men. The chaingang
did not go out Monday or yesterday.
The warm-hearted people of Newport
..civs did not forget the pastors of the
city. They were all remembered. Rev.
J. F. Ribble, rector of St. Paul's
Episcopal church, was treated to a reg?
ular pound party. Rev. E. T. Well
ford's friends pounded him all through
the week. Rev. W. R Motley, pastor of
the Thirtieth street Christian church, is
one of the happiest people in the city ]
on account of the valuable presents
that were received by him Among
them was one of $40 in money; a fine
teachers' Bible, and many other costly
gifts.
The congregation of the East End
Presbyterian Mission made Rev. Mr.
and Mrs. Wellford happy by presenting
them with a beautiful parlor chair. The
gift was very highly appreciated by the
recipients, as indeed, were all the gifts
in every case.
A PRINCELY GIFT.
But the happiest men in this section
of the earth are the employees of the
street railway, who were the bene?
ficiaries In the early Sunday morning of
one of the most princely gifts ever re?
corded in the annals of Christmastide
! half dozen years that
l in operation, the men
? : i to the office night by
. ns over and above what
- .he cars called for, rep
'? - ::? ? :hat had hot been rung
crowds and for other
ic??~:;~, jgregating $24.000. Of
this amount Mr. J. S. Darling, formerly
president of the old company, Mr. F.
S. Darling, the superintendent, and Mr.
J. S. Darling, were entitled to two
thirds, or $10,000, by reason of their pro.
portion of stoclc in the old company.
The Darlings decided to make the em?
ployees a gift of this snug amount as
a Christmas present, and as a recogni?
tion of their faithful services. The
plan was no sooner made than steps
were taken to put it into execution.
The amount was checked off so as to
allow each man a sum in proportion to
the time he had been on the road, and
his salary, the conductors and the
motormen getting $6 a week for every
week of their connection with the com?
pany; the engineers $8: and the others
in like ratio. The cashier of the com?
pany, Mr. Reynor, who has 'been with
the company from the first, was the
recipient of $1,000. Another man got as
high as $715; others came in for sums
?anging between $400 and $500; the ma?
jority of the checks were for amounts
between $1$$ and $400.
Among tho-amounts received wore the
following: "Skid" Hudgins, $715; Fred
Tennis, $615; Charles Huckus. $534;
Nick Leo, $534; Mi-. Wray, $414; Mr.
Weber, $2!i0. The smallest chock was
for $12.
Not a single employe of the company
had the slightest intimation of the
coming windfall. Saturday a notice was
posted instructing all the men to meet
at the power house in Hampton at 12:30
o'clock that night, but nothing was said
as to what the assembling was for.
Some of the men feared that a general
cut was to be made in salaries, and the
surprise that awaited them was little
less than astounding. When the men
had all gathered in the power house,
Mr. J. S. Darling arose and made them
a brief but eloquent speech, a little im?
peded, albeit, in its delivery by the
lump that kept rising in the throat of
the speaker. He told the men that in
times past they had served the old com?
pany faithfully, and he hoped that
i.hey would do as well by the new com?
pany. He said that often under the
old regime the question of raising the
salaries of the men had been consid?
ered, but every time some increased ex?
pense had Interfered with the plan, and
it had to be postponed. He then told ;
them why he had called them together, [
and the checks were distributed. Many
of the men had never before held in
their hands checks for larger "amounts
than a few dollars, and when they ?
opened their envelopes and found
checks for hundreds, each accompanied
by a lette.i worth quite as much one
way as the little slips of paper were j
worth the other, they could scarcely be
lleye their eyes. A great cheer went up,
and the excited fellows crowded around ,
their generous benefactors to shake
tjjeir hands and receive from them i
wishes for 'a merry Christmas and a
happy new year.
A merry Christmas and a happy new ,
year it was indeed to every one of them. !
{Some of the men are paying for homes j
em the Installment plan, and others !
have Just begun to build. To these, es- i
p^elally, the gifts were grateful. After \
the excitement subdued those who were
married went to their homes, woke up
their wives and told them of their good
fortune. There was not much sleep in
any of those households after that.
Next day, Christmas, everyone in the
city had heard all about It, for the men
cpul<l not keep their good fortune to
fbemeelves, and no one could come near
them -without* being infected by their
happiness.
It is probably the best investment Mr.
Darling ever made. He considers it so,
at any rate, and every one agrees -with
him. It was bread cast upon the wa?
ters. It will return to him after many
days. Possibly it has already returned
to him in the blessings that have been
heaped upon his head.
The generous act of the Darlings finds
a parallel in Virginia only in that of
Mr. Ginter, the great Richmond tobac?
conist, who, when his factory burned
down, paid the salaries of the men un?
til it was rebuilt and again in opera?
tion.
SOCIETY EVENTS.
The holiday week in Newport News
will be one of unusual gayety. Not for
several years have so many social
events been arranged for the Christmas.
New Year season and the devotees of
the light fantastic will be kept busy this
week attending germans and evening
receptions.
While a number of prominent society
people have left <the city to spend the
holidays with relatives and friends,
there are still many remaining who will
make the occasions the desired success
by lending their presence to them.
The first social event of the week
was the german given in Hampton
on last Monday night by the
young gentlemen in honor of the
young ladies of our sister city. Quite a
large number of ladies and gentlemen
went from this city, some returning at
an early hour in the morning and others
remaining over night " in Hampton. It
was a delightful affair and the did
Armory in Hampton presented a gay
appearance until the wee sma' hours of
the morning.
Tonight the ladies of Hampton
return the honor paid them and
give the young gentlemen a dance at
Armory Hall. Many society people from
Newport News will also attend this af?
fair, which promises to be as enjoyable
as that of last night.
On Friday night the event of the year
will be the german at the Casino here
given by the Friday Cotillion Club,
which is composed of a number of well
known young society people. All ar?
rangements have been completed for one
of the most successful occasions ever
given in the 'Casino and it is expected
that the attendance will be unusually
large. Of late the "old german attend?
ants." as some are wont to call them,
have not been going out very much, but
many of these will be present Friday
night, together with visitors from Rich?
mond, Norfolk, Smithfield. Williams
burg, Hampton and Old Point, to whom
invitations have been issued. No ex?
pense has been spared to make the occa?
sion a great success and all who attend
are promised an enjoyable time. It is
understood that a light supper will be
served at "midnight by a committee of
ladies.
PERSONAL MENTION.
The number of persons leaving the
city this Christmas to spend the holi?
days with relatives and friends else?
where has been unusually large.
Among those going 'to Washington to
spend Christmas and the holidays were
Messrs. B. H. Munroe, C. A. Ford, E.
A. Perrum, Frank Whitaker, L. A. Hop?
kins, W. A. Swan and W. J. Binley.
Mr. A. B. Raymond is visiting at his
former home in New York.
Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Foley are the
guests of relatives in Baltimore.
Mr. W. C. Nickman is visiting his
home in Baltimore.
Mr. Arthur Chase is the guest of rela?
tives in New York.
Miss Pollard, of Richmond, arrived
in the city today to be the guest of the
Misses Salley.
Miss Fannie Boykin, of Smithfield,
will arrive in the city Friday and will
remain over to attend the german at the
Casino the same evening. She will be
the guest of Mrs. Street.
Miss Nannie Parker, of Smithfield,
arrived yesterday and is the guest of
Mrs. W. M. Taylor.
Mr. J. A. Eaves is visiting relatives at
Wilmington, Del.
Mr. Willis is also visiting in Wilming?
ton.
Mr. George Barrett is the guest of rel?
atives in New York.
Mr. McGann is visiting his parents
in Washington. .,
Mr. J. W. Swan is the guest of rela?
tives in Boston. Mr. A. F. Bowen is
also visiting in Boston.
Dr. Howard Taylor will give a "Pink
Domino" on the evening of Thursday,
.lanuary 15, at the home of his parents.
Disney-on-the-Roads. A number of lo?
cal society people will attend.
The Christmas entertainment of the
Sunday school of the First Baptist
church was given in the church parlors
Monday afternoon at :? o'clock, and was
a great success.
The building committee of the First
Presbyterian church met again last
night and after looking over the plans
for the new proposed church, rejected
four more of them. This still leaves
four plans out of the original thirteen,
and from this four a selection will prob?
ably be made at the next meeting,
which will be held sometime within the
next few days.
In the Police Court yesterday, Ida
Hoskins, charged with assault, and
James Taylor, charged with house
breaking, "were sent on to the grand
jury.
Christ mux K'jfnres.
On board the IT. S. training ship Es?
sex, at the navy yard, .on Christmas
Day, the 144 naval apprentices on hoard
enjoyed a big Christmas dinner.
Figures are not interesting as a rule,
but it may be of interest to state the
quantity of food required to feed 144
strong, healthy boys with appetites
sharpened by salt breezes.
Here is a copy of the order placed
with a Norfolk baker who furnished the
menu: Turkey, 175 pounds; 38 bunches
celery, 12 dozen oranges, 25 pounds mix?
ed nuts, 150 pies, 150 loaves of bread, 15
quarts cranberry sauce.
The ship was decorated with holly
and cedar and American flags were used
in ornamenting the tables.
Munt Have Been Moonstruck.
Officer Charles arrested a drunken
man on Washington avenue last even?
ing as he was apparently watching the
eclipse of the moon. He became so ex?
cited over the event that it was -.neces?
sary to put him under restraint. At the
jail he grew- violent and attacked the
officer viciously, pounding his shins in
the most unmerciful manner. He was
at last gotten into a cell and the officer
resumed his duties.
i
?ONETO HIS REWARD
One of Newport News' Best
Citizens Dead.
PEN LAID ASIDE FOREVER
Mr. John A. Robinson, Former Owner of
Hie Commercial, Succumbs to tlie lu
evitable. Sketch of His Long
ami Useful Life.
The city has paused in the midst of
its Christmas rejoicing, saddened
by the announcement of the death of
one of its most honored and useful
citizens, Mr. John A. Robinson, the
veteran editor who only a few days ago
relinquished the ownership and man- j
agement of the Daily Commercial. His
death occurred at 10:45 o'clock Monday
morning at his home on Twenty-sixth
street. He lacked but three days of be?
ing sixty-one years of age. The funeral
will take place at 2:30 o'clock this after?
noon from the First Presbyterian
church, and will be conducted by the
pastor. Rev. E. T. Wellford.
Mr. Robinson was taken seriously ill
about three weeks ago with stomach
trouble, and this, superinduced by re?
cent heart trouble, was the cause of his
death. It was not unexpected, as those
v. ho were acquainted with the nature
of his conditon had given up hope. He
himself realized that his end was draw?
ing near and bravely awaited it with
calm, Christian courage which has al?
ways distinguished him. When'it came,
he was ready, and answered the sum?
mons of the grim messenger as though
it were just a little journey he was
going to take, with great happiness at
its end. '
In the death of Mr. Robinson, the city
loses one of its most valued citizens,
and a family a loving, kind, and lovable
father and husband, a man known far
and wide for his uprightness and fair
dealings, his sound sense, ability,
and the courage of his convictions. The
funeral today will have an attendance
which will attest the popularity and es?
teem in which he was held.
There are left behind a widow and
five children?Mrs. R. N. Greathead, of
S'taunton, Va.; Mr. B. S. Robinson, who
has recently accepted a position at the
Trigg shipyard in Richmond; Miss Vir?
ginia Robinson and Mr. J. M. Robinson,
both of whom lived with their parents,
and 'Mr. W. M. Robinson, who resides in
Baltimore. Only three of the children
were at the bedside of the dying man
when he breathed his last, but Mrs.
Greathead arrived Monday night and
Mr. W. M. Robinson reached the city
yesterday.
Three brothers of the deceased?Mr.
S. E. Robinson, of Baltimore; Mr. S. M.
Robinson, of Washington, and Dr. W.
D. Robinson, of Philadelphia?-will ar
rive this morning to attend the I
funeral, as will his brother-in-law, Mr.
Howard B. McNulty, who will come
from Chambersburg, and several other
relatives of the family. It.is expected
that Mr. McNulty will be accompanied
by several members of Chambersburg
Lodge, Royal Arcanum, of which de?
ceased was a member at the time of his
death. He was also at one time a
member of the Masonic fraternity.
Mr. Robinson was born at Gettysburg,
Adams county, Pennsylvania, Decem?
ber 29, 1837. His father died in his for?
ty-eighth year and Mr. Robinson then
moved 'to Fulton county and took up his
residence with his uncle. There he
went to school until he completed the
course offered by the county public
schools, after which he took a course at
the Marshall 'Collegiate Institute at
Mercersburg, Pa., graduating with hon?
ors. In 1861 he went to McConnells
burg, where he accepted a position as
deputy clerk of Fulton county. He
served in this capacity four years and
was'then elected clerk of the county. He
held this office four years and was re
elected, serving a second term of four
years. It was while holding this posi?
tion that at the age of 29 he married
Miss Annie S. M. McNulty, of Cham?
bersburg. All of Mr. Robinson's chil?
dren were born in McConnellsburg,
where he resided for thirty years.
Twenty years of that time was de?
voted to the practice of law. While at
the bar, Mr. Robinson was elected to the
Pennsylvania legislature, serving one
term. He held other municipal offices.
In 1891 he left McConnellsburg and went
to Baltimore, where he resided for a
uhort time. In the same year he went
to Hammonton. N. J., where he started
and conducted for eighteen months the
Atlantic Mirror, a weekly newspaper.
Mr. Robinson and his family moved to
Newport News from Hammonton in
1893. -Here he purchased from Mr. J. M.
Viney the Commercial, which at that
time was conducted as a weekly news?
paper. He at once changed the paper to
a daily and since that time it has been
issued as such.
To Make Survey at Portsmouth.
A strenuous effort will be made to
have the s_urvey on the Spanish gun?
boats Sandoval and Atvarado. captured
at Guantanamo. which Uncle Sam found
in his navy yard stocking Sunday morn?
ing, made at Portsmouth, Va., instead
of at Portsmouth, N. H. Although there
are some thirty-six warships now at the
yard, the constructor in charge states
that the few repairs needed by the tro?
phy ships could be made without delay.
It is also urged that as the ships will
probably be exhibited at Washington,
this navy yard is the proper place to re?
pair them, owing to its nearness to the
Capital. Notwithstanding their battle
with the butt end? of a log raft in the
Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal, the
vessels were not damaged, which naval
officers say speaks well for their sta?
bility. The captured vessels will un?
doubtedly be added to the American na?
val register, and, although they will not
immediately be assigned to special serv?
ice, they will be sent to various sea?
board cities for the Inspection of the
public.

I-trjiAK KCXIPSK.
Moon Totally Obscured. Not Observed In
This Section Generally.
There was a total eclipse of the moon
last night, tout very few people in this
section saw the phenomenon, because
of the early hour at which it came to
pass, and the numerous clouds that ob?
scured the horizon.
The moon entered the shadow at 4:47
P. M., about sixteen minutes after the
satellite appeared in the east, and six
minutes after sunset.
The totality of the eclipse was at C
hours and 42 minutes, and the bright
edge of the moon again appeared and
the total eclipse ended at 7 hours and
27 minutes. The moon emerged from
the shadow at 8 hours and 36 minutes.
A rather interesting point for study
was the extent to which the moon
was hid during the total phase. It is
well known that oftentimes the moon is
plainly visible during the entire range
of its total eclipse, 'the only change in
appearance being the assumption of a
dusky copper hue.
If .the earth were without atmosphere
the moon would enter the shadow with
precision and at totality be completely
obscured. The red rays of the sun not
being so readily absorbed by the earth's
atmosphere penetrate it, and are by a
lenslike action refracted into the shad?
ow.
The moon may thus be illuminated
even at micf^totality. On rare occasions
the moon disappears completely during
totality, and this may tiappen this even?
ing. In order to produce this result the
sunlight must be wholly absorbed in the
earth's atmosphere by the vapors and
clouds.
