Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1893-02-21


Scarcely a speaker failed to pay tribute Of
praise to the good work of Mr. Myron NJ
Parker, who has been the president Of the
board of trade since its inception and who has
labored untiringly for the welfare Of that or
ganizatiOn and for the city, but who now with
draws to take the position one Of the men,
bers of the board Of District Commissioners.
Mr.. Parker presided at the banquet last night
and acted as the POSTMASTER when the speeches
came on with the coffee and cigars. In both
capacities he acted with grace and dignity. He
introduced the speakers with few pleasant
words, and, while there were no prepared adj
dresses, and none OF the speakers was fore
warned that he was to be called upon, no one
was at loss for something to say, SO inter-
ested were they all in the general subject
Of the evenings discussion. Commissioner
Douglass. who is succeeded by Mr.. Parker at
the District building. was introduced by the
presiding officer as man who had done so
much for the District in the four years Of his
service that all he could hope to do was to fol-
low in his footsteps Mr.. Douglass then spoke
in terms of the highest praise of his successor
and expressed the confidence that he would be
able to accomplish more for Washington than
he himself had been able to do. So it went all
through the evening. There was a general
feeling of satisfaction peryading all and sense
that while they were losing both good prosi-
dent of the board of trade and Commissioner
yet both posts of honor would be filed by men
who would be not one whit less interested de-
voted and faithful than their predecessors
