Honor Men COMMUNICATED.

The Washington Evening News of Tues
day says:
Public-Printer Benedict has a way of
doing things that increases the esteem
and popularity Of those associated with
him in the great government workshop.
The foremen in the various branches OF
the printing-ofiic follow a custom of re-
cognizing the merit of employees by
designating those who have the best re-
cords during a stated period honor
men. Last week Foreman Bergin paid
this deserved compliment to Messrs
Joseph w. Mccain. of New York; c.
w. Radley. of New York; George II.
Hayden, of Alexandria, Va; o. p. Rum
ley, of New Jersey; w. f. Johnson, OF
Indiana: William Spes, of Pennsylvania
w. f. OBrien. of Michigan. and Il. c.
Crump, OF Richmond. Va. When Mt
Benedict was informed of this he sent
for the printers. and when they assembled
in his office made them a little speech
complimenting them upon the quantity
character. and accuracy Of their work,
and expressing his qualification at the
splendid records they had made. Mr..
Crump replied on behalf of his compan-
ions and himself, and modestly promised
that they would try TO keep the honor
places they had won.

IN ITSNE W QUARTERS
INTERESTING SESSION LAST EVENING
Of RICHMOND BAR ASSOCIATION.
A BANQUET 10 BE Hold In January-Addrcsa
by Hon. John Randolph Tucker
Discussion Of Rules.

Tho BAR Association OF Richmond held
n most interesting meeting In its new
quarters in the City Hall last evening. II
was the first session OF the body held In
its recently provided home, and the at
tendance was unusually large. President
C. V. Meredith filled the chair. and Secre-
tary skelton was at his post OF duty.
Mr.. Meredith spoke a few words concern
ing the safe Installation OF the body In It's
new apartments.
The first matter Of business was the
report OF the Committee on Admissions.
which was made by Mr.. A. w. Patter-
son. II recommended the names OF six
teen lawyers as members Of the associa-
ton. The report was laid upon the table
until the next meeting of the organiza-
ton, which is to be upon the call Of the
president.
RULES ARE DISCUSSED.
Mr.. jackson Guy, chairman Of the Ia
brary Committee. submitted report set
ting forth the expenses incurred In re-
moving the effects Of the association to
the quarters in the City Hall. Ii also
stated that Miss Roddy had been employ
be open from 10 A. NJ. to 2:30 =. NJ, and
from to +. NJ. Appended TO this report
was a set of rules governing the library,
and these were lengthily discussed One
rule prescribed that the books OF the il
brary could be sent for by judges or the
several courts for their own use and for
the use of members OF the Bar Associa-
ton engaged in cases. but not for the
use Of outside lawyers Mr.. Meredith OPP
posed this rule on the ground that 1t
might not be exactly what the Council
expected of the body after giving II quar-
ters In the new City Hall. Mr.. Shelton
favored such rule, saying that he had
conversed with one OF the judges of the
city upon the point involved. and II was
at the suggestion Of that jurist that the
rule had been incorporated. He thought
II entirely proper for the members Of the
association to be protected against the
invasion Of outsiders to this extent.
After some further discussion the rule
was eliminated. and books will be issued
upon the order OF judges, no matter
whether they are to be used In cases In
which counsel are or are not members
of the organization. No books can be
taken away from the apartments except
upon such written request.
The Library Committee recommended
that the sum of at least 80 n month be
appropriated regularly for the purpose
Of purchasing new books for the insti-
tuition. This met with the hearty appro-
baton OF the body. Major Sol Cutchins
said he proposed in the near future to
offer q resolution setting aside larger
fund for this purpose II the association
could afford 10 spend more In this way.
The report was received and filed and
the rules, save the one spoken of, were
adopted.
THE JANUARY BANQUET.

Committee, reported the work done by

SECRETARY TlBBITTS MAY REMAIN.
1t Is Likely That He VIII If the Associa
ton Is Given Proper support.

II is more than probable that If certain
guarantees can be obtained which Will
insure the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation from future embarrassment in
meeting current expenses Mr.. George L.
Tibbitts will remain in charge of the
work OF the association here.
Some weeks ago, II will be remembered,
Mr.. Tibbitts rendered his resignation as
secretary of the association, TO take
effect February 1st next. This action
caused general regret, and the Board
of Directors OF the association appointed
a committee TO urge Mr.. Tibbitts to re-
consider. The pressure OF the board was
backed by personal solicitation from va
rious quarters and resolutions passed by
several religious bodies, and since then
the resignation has been considered upon
the table. At the same time Mr.. Tibbitts
has never given any intimation that he
would not vacate his position at the time
specified.
REASON WHY HE RESIGNED.
1t seems that one Of the principal rea-
sons that determined Mr. Tibbitts TO re-
sign was that he has long been in the
position of having to fnancier for the
association without having the necessary
money to fnancier with. To make mat
tiers worse. some Of the friends OF the as
sociation who subscribed to the fund
raised at the Chamber OF Commerce
meetings to lift the old debt have taken
up the idea that the amount they had
been in the habit Of giving annually for
running expenses is no longer needed.
As consequence the association Is not
as well off in respect of meeting current
bills as II was before the old debt fund
was subscribed.
Tuesday night the board held meeting.
and after thoroughly canyassing the stu
alton appointed committee to prepare
an address to the public setting forth
fully the financial condition of the asso-
citation and its needs.
II the public respond TO this address in
such manner that there win be no fur
Tier question about the associations
meeting certain obligations in the future,
Mr.. Tibbitts will, 1t Is believed. withdraw
his resignation. The board have no as
surance from him that he will do so.
and. even should the guarantee that
the address will ask be forthcoming,
he can insist upon his resignation with
out breaking faith with the board. But
the latter have the strongest reasons
for hoping that he will reconsider.
WILL PROBABLY REMAIN.
Mr.. Tibbitts. when seen by Dispatch
reporter last night. said he was not in
position to talk, but he practically ad-
mtted that II the association was put
upon business basis. he might consent
10 remain In charge as its secretary.
He has at least consented 20 consider the
matter Of Withdrawing his resignation.
member of the board said last night
that Hon. u. b. Munford would prepare
the address TO the public and he felt
confident that the result OF that address
would be the retention OF Mr.. Tibbitts.
The people OF Richmond would not. he
thought. allow the associations embar-
rassment TO continue after all the facts
were known.
