For Washington on First
Voyage. Expected To Arrive
Here Sometime Tomorrow
or Next Day.
Th? aeamcr Shaw will not be able
o leave Norfolk (or Washington 1
>n her maiden trip until today la i
he information that Mr. Charles A. <
Hynn, secretary of the Chamber of '
Commerce, received today from Mr.
Prank S. Rellly, Ruperintenednt of
xansport?! ion. The delay In the
>oa*'a sailing was due to a mishap
o her propeller. In his letter to
kfr. Plynn, Mr. Rellly states that he
a very anxious for the merchants
ind shippers of Washington to see
lie steamer and to be oonvlnced
:hat the company means business.
Last Wednesday morning about
1.30 o'clock the Shaw struck some
dnd of a derelict, while on her way
from New York to^Norfolk, and
:hree propeller blades were broken '
iff. the rudder post bent and her
shaft twisted. She was hauled out
$n the Old Dominion railways In
Berkley, Va., and the work of repair
was not completed until yesterlay.
As stated before In the News
when the steamer arrives In port It
1J the purpose of the Chamber of
Commerce to arrange a conference
with the ship's master and the bual- '
ness men. The steamer, unless
something unforscen again occurs,
vAll In all probability arrive here
tomorrow or next day.
Where the 8baw will dock here
has not as yet been decided upon.
Olatruaisd Education.
Education was considered a disqualification
In a servant a century ago.
Even Ilannoh Sfore, who did much to
promote the 8unday-school movement,
confined her curriculum to teaching the
children to read the Bible, (he catechism
"and such coarse works as may
fit them for servants." *1 allow of
no writing for the poor," ahe stated
emphatically.
Light From Start.
Tho Ught we receive from'stars of
the flrot magnitude, like Vega, la equal
approximately to a forty-thousandmllllonth
part of that of the sua. It
Is calculated that the total light re*
Qeived from the lesser stars Is equal
to that of 3,000 Btars of the first mag- ,
nltudo, or a sixth part of that which
la sent to us from the moon.

BENEFITS OF J
PEEL
m
>ostmaater Hush Paul Canvaaaed
Among The Mar.
chants Yesterday. New RulIng
of The Department Will
Be Advantage to Patrons.
Postmaster Hugh Paul ysstarday
made a canvass among the Soilness
men of the city for the purpose of
explaining to them the decided advantages
of toe parcel post system
now in vogue through the postofflce
department. All the business men
approached were appreciative and
exhibited unusual interest In wbftt
tne postomce department la trying
to do alqy thla line. In talking to
the postmaster this morning he
kindly gave a Mews man some of
.he advantages offered the patrons
[>( the office so far as the parcel
post Is concerned. The postmaster
said that under the new ruling that
package* weighing from eleven to
Bfty pounds can be eent through
the office within a radius of jQO
miles..These packages contain statements
without changing the class. A
letter can be wr..::u and sealed and
attached to the package?however
It must contain a two cent stamp.
This affords the sender the advantage
of having both his package d
letter delivered at the same time
and place.
For-the email a mo oat of ten stale va
package can be ItimaifiTiril thru
the office C. O. D. and too. at the
same time the package la insured.
Not only can this be done by the
gender but be can also send a package
b/ special delivery for a fee
of ten centa. The parcel post department
Is growing all the while,
states the postmaster and under tho
new ruling It bids fair to continue. '
Postage on parcel post packages
within a radius of 150 miles Is five
rents per pound and ono cent for
each additional pound; for parcel
post local delivery which Is diepatched
through the rural carriers
and city free delivery carriers It
Ave cents Cor first pound and one
cent for each additional two
pounds. All kinds of miscellaneous
printed matter can now be sept by
this department provided the package
weighs over four pounds. Books
weighing over eight ounces eau also
be dispatched. The new law of
the depatrmcnt Is surely one of advnntacd
to the nubile.
