ATNEWPORTNEWS
Hoster Brewery and Wholesale
House Destroyed, Causing j
$75,000 Loss.
[Special to The Times-Dispatch] |
Newport News. Va., September 20.?^
Startins presumably fron? defective j
wiring in the big bottling plant if the
Hoster Brewing Company. Arc swept,
the wholesale district on Twenty-third ;
Street to-day. entailing the biggest fire
loss that Newport News has had since
the burning of the Chesapeake and.
Ohio piers sixteen years ago. The
Hoster plant was entirely destroyed,
and the wholesale house of Kass Broa,
next door, also was ruined. The loss Is
estimated at $75,000, with about two
thirds of that amount covered by in?
surance.
Before the Are was discovered the j
top floor of the brewery was ablaze, j
Two fire companies were called out,
but on account of the ling drought j
there was little water pressure, and 1
the firemen were handicapped until j
the engines could get into action. By j
the use of aerial trucks the fire was >
confined to the two buildings. The big j
meat packing houses flankirg the'
structures were saved.
Five firemen who were fighting the
flames on the second floor of the brew- !
ery had a narrow escape when a part j
of the flooring gave way under its;
weight of machinery. The firemen}
were warned by the cracking of the j
flooring, and ran to safety.

j with over 400 students on tbe grounds,
j Until the work of registration is
j completed it is Impossible to state

The remainder of this week is given

More students have been assigned

LONDON NEWSPAPER
"Vanity Fair" Will Be Run on
Much the Same Lines
as "Truth."
BV LA MAR?! ISE DE KO\ IF NOV.
CHARLES EDWARD JERNINGHAM,
the principal collaborator of Hen?
ry Labouchere in the writing and
editing of the iatter'B l*>ndon weekly
newspaper entitled "Truth." and who
with Labouchere and the late Horace
Voules contributed more than any
other* to its success, has purchased
another old established Londor. week?
ly newspaper. Vanity Kair. which has
undergone many vicissitudes. Jem
ingham u>><-d t > contribute a weekly
article entitled 'Letters From the
Linkman," over the signature of
"Marmaduke." to Truth, but severed
his connection with that paper when,
after the death of his friend Labou?
chere, its editors and present owners
published a series of articles of a na?
ture to reflect upon the character of
the role of Labouchere In its produc?
tion, intimating that he had won and
retained credit that belonged to oth?
ers.
Under Jerningham'a proprietorship
and editorial direction Vanity Fair is
certain to be run on much the same
lines ?s Truth in the days of La?
bouchere. and to observe the same car.i
in retraining from all attacks upon
women. It was originally founded by
Thomas Gibson Bjsjioa. the well known
Tory polin tan. who for near a quarter
of a century represented Kings Lynn
in Parliament, and is a recognised au?
thority on all maritime questions. It
has been edited and owned in turn
since tiien, by the late F.arl of Desart.
by Frank Harris and others, with
varying success. Lord Desart was the
bete noir of Edward VII.. while Frank
Harris is too reckless with his clever
pen to have many friends, or to in?
spire much confidence. Moreover,
Vanity Fair made two or three terrible
mistakes, which gave great offense In
precisely those quarters to which it
professed to appeal.
Perhaps the worst of these faux pas
was when after printing one week a
very successful cartoon of a popular
and universally respected member of
t*ie reigning family, the next Issue con?
tained an equally remarkable cart>on,
and a laudatory sketch of a man who
though a clever litterateur and law?
yer, nevertheless had so evil a record

Charles Jernlngham knows his Lon-1

ever making auch an amasing mistake
while under his guidance. I under?
stand that his friend. Ralph Neville,
who was one of hla moat brillant as
I aoclates on the staff of Truth, and
who is a son of that wonderful old
Lady Dorothy Neville, will co-operate
with him on Vanity Fair. It may be
remembered that they were J>lnt auth?
ors of a most Interesting volume of
anecdotes published a few years ago
entitled "From Piccadilly to Pall
Mall." and dealing with English society.
Both are members of the St. Jamea'a
Club and of the Bachelors.
Charles Jernlngham is a member of
that historic family of Jernlngham of
which Lord Stafford U the ah Cat The
Barmy of Stafford was originally one
of the honors of the house of Howard.
But the peerage, which was heritable
in the female line, was attained in
16X0. when William Howard. Lord
Stafford. lost hla head on the
scaffold as a victim of the infamous
Titus Oatea, and remained in that con?
dition until 1825, when the attainder
was repealed by act of Parliament In
favor if sir George Jernlngham. whose
ancestor and namesake, the fifth hold?
er of the Jernlngham Baronetcy, had
married the decapitated Lord Stafford's
heiress A Sir Henry Jernlngham was
Master of the Horse to "Bloody' Mary,
but did not enjoy the favor of Queen
Elisabeth, owing to his refusal to
I abandon the Riman Catholic faith, to
which the Jernlnghams belong to thia
j day.
i Charles Jernlngham la a younger
? brother of Sir Hubert Jernlngham, the
I former diplomat, former colonial gov
l ernor and former Member of Parlia?
ment. As a young Attache' of the
British Embassy at Paris. Sir Hubert
was one of the mo -t successful of that
brilliant troupe of amateur actors and
actresses who under the leadership of
the Austrian Ambassadress, Princess
Pauline Metternich, not only occupied
the stage of the private theatres of
the imperial palaces of the Tullerlea,
of St. Cloud, of Fontalnebleau, and of
Complegne, but who virtually led the
revels at the gay court of Napoleon
III. and Empress Eugenie during the
closing yeara of their reign.
Hubert Jernlngham's success was Quo
not only to his complete command of
the French language ? he was
graduated from a Paris instead of from
an English university?but likewise to
bis remarkable hiatorionlc ability and
tastes, which latter may be said t9
have pursued him through hla entire
career. For when Governor of Mauri?
tius and of other British dependencies,
he was In the habit of giving dramatic
entertainments, mostly In the nature
of farces of hla own authorship, and
where he fulfilled the duties of atage
manager, nothing but the necessity of
maintaining unimpaired the lofty dig?
nity of hla office, as representative of
the sovereign, preventing him from ap?
pearing before the footlights.
There is no truth In the stories print,
ed in the English weekly papers to
the effect that the Duke and Duchess
of Portland entertained a large party
at Wolbeck Abbey for the Doncaster
races. The duke haa carefully refrain?
ed from giving any house party for
the Doncaster races since a memorable
incident which iccurred some twenty
years ago. The late King Edward, then
Prince of Wales, had notified him that
he would like to atay at Welbeck Ab?
bey for the races and accordingly all
preparations were made to welcome the
then heir apparent In a fitting manner.
In accordance with the requirements of
etiquette, the duchesa sent to the prince
a list of the guests whom she proposed
to invite to meet him. He eliminated
one or two names therefrom, and sub?
stituted instead that of the then Lady
Brooke, now Countess of Warwick. The
duchess replied that she regretted that
she would be unable to welcome Lady
Brooke at Welbeck Abbey. In this she
was backed up by her husband. The
prince, very Indignant, thereupon an?
nounced that he would not honor Wel?
beck Abbey with his presence.
On learning of this. Mrs. Arthur Wil?
son wrote to the prince begging him
to stay at Tranby Croft for the race
week, and at the same time making
him aware that she would be delighted
to welcome under her roof there any?
body whom he might like to be in?
cluded In the house party. Lady Brjoke
was invited, and was actually on her
way to Tranby Croft, when at York
she received the news that her step
I father, the late Lord Rosslyn. to whom
I she was much attached, was dying,
I and hastened therefore to his bedside.
The prince, however, went to Tranby
Croft, where the Baccarat Scandal took
place, which Involved him In no end
of annoyance and disagreeable publi?
city, culminating In his being obliged
