tinsuished himself by brilliant outbu rst
OF csnvivial eloauence, which earned him
many cheers.
The retiring president then took the
floor In a few well-chosen words he ex-
tended a cordial welcome to all present
and thanked all friends of the association
for the kindly feelings manifested IN its
regard.
In this connection he took occasion to
refer in the most hattering terms to HE
Calls attitude toward the association,
and concluded by suggesting that a vote
of thanks be rendered the paper. The vote
was unanimous and enthusiastic.
Then commenced an unconventional
programme which lasted far into the
morning. During the inspiring strains of
the "Lustspiel Overture? Mr.. Davis pre-
sented the retiring president with hand
some silver dinner service, the gilt OF all
the members.
Mr.. Barrett made a graceful address OF
thanks, and then the evenings fan con-
tinued. The best singers and DISCLAIMERS
from the various theaters contributed their
part to the general enjoyment.
Plises orchestra rendered number OF
classical and popular selections, Thomas
Evans sang "The Bedouin's Love Song
and Marguerite" in charming style, and
Mr. Davis electrified all present by his
phenomenal success as a Giving picture.
Others, among them John Bonnet, reclted

took place at OAK Chapel, Piedmont, Thurs
day, December %, when Miss Lizzie Jean
Blair and John H. Barber were united in mar
riage by Rev. Virgil Boyer. The ceremony
took place at 10 O'Clock in the forenoon at the
pretty little oak empowered chapel near Glen
Echo and the home OF the bride. There were
present only the immediate relatives of the
bride and groom. and the affair was entirely
without oStenta ton or display.
After the words had been spoken which made
them man and wife Mr.. and Mrs. Barber re-
paired, with the members OF the two families
present to the home of the mother of the

himself so far as his preferences went in
to be elected. Wherever a man had an ak
30 grind or friend to serve, he made no
secret of it, but started to work right lust
lily and endeavored to enlist as many in
his cause as possible.
The morning session was entirely execu-
tive and was devoted exclusively to the
revision of the constitution and bylaws.
For some time past the leading spirits o +
the association have considered the former
constitution and bylaws rather loose ly
hung. The conviction was general among
the members that a wholesale revision OF
both documents was lmperatively de-
manded. Accordingly, amid motions and
counter motions, amid bursts OF eloquence
and clouds of smoke from many frag-
rant Havana, the revision was made.
President Barrett was in the chair, and
displayed rare diplomacy in preserving
enthusiasm from all danger of degenerat-
ing into disorder and confusion. Among
the new provisions inserted were the fol-
lowing: -
No one can henceforth be admitted to mem
bership who has not completed his twenty-hrst
year; the offices of treasurer and secretary will
adopted to secure SUFFICIENT attendance at the
meetings, and members are to regard IT as
point of honor that the transactions OF the
association shall not be divulged haphazard
among outsiders, though no oath or obligation
to secrecy, properly SO called, viii be exacted.
Furthermore, the constitution and by
laws were made to conform in certain

technical requisites to the provisions of
the Political Code of the State, the associa-
ton to be and remain a regularly incor-
porateo and legally recognized society in
accordance with the laws governing and
regulating, similar organizations.
Resolutions OF respect and coincidence
were adopted in noting the deaths OF four
members during the year, and in the case
of one who had died few days after paw
ing his annual dues in advance, the
amount was ordered refunded to the
widow.
President M. Feintuch and Secretary r.
II. Bennett Jr., of the Merchants Credit
Association OF California, were introduced
to the assembled members. Mr. Fem
tuch read brief paper in which he gave a
resume of the objects had in view by his
society, and bespoke for it the cooperation
of the Travellers Association, stating in q
few weli-chosen words the advantages
which in his opinion would result in case
both societies could week in harmony.
The paper was placed on file and vote
of thanks was rendered the Merchants
Credit Association for its fraternal cour-
teSy.
The afternoon session was altogether
given up to the election of the new officers
and directors, and breezy, noisy session it
was. The best OF feeling prevailed, but
each member had his say and held his own.
There was no bulldosing, no raiIroading.
no crooked methods. The balloting was
viewed by all and none can have chance
to say that the election was not fair and

remind the directors themselves that tne
good name and success of the society DUR
ing the coming year would depend IN great
part upon the manner IN which tney inisn
fulfill the obligations imposed upon them.
The new directors then went into execu-
tive session for the purpose OF electing
from amid their number the officers TO
serve during the ensuing twelve months.
After being in seclusion for about hall an
hour the directors re-entered the hall ana
announced that they had elected Mr..
Woods as president. Mr.. Eubanks as vice.
president and reelected Mr.. Boldemann as
secretary, giving him the office of treas
urer as well, according to the revised con-

AS each officers name was announced
it was greeted with storm OF applause,
the mem bers seeming to lose sight OF all
former personal preferences now that the
election was over. Speeches OF congratu-

until an adjournment was taken Tor the
purpose of giving the members chance

i" FIGHTING BOB"
How Captain Evans Of the Navy Gained
His Sobrfquet.

How Captain Evans OF the Navy Gained
His Sobriquet.
An inquiry was addressed to Captain
Evans as to how he gained the sobriquet
of Fighting Bob" His reply was mod
estly given. II do not like the subject"
he said. II never courted that kind OF
distinction in the service. am no more
of fighter and no more entitled to that
title than any other officer. Every man
in the United States navy Will fight when
it is his duty to do so. Courage is uni
versal quality among Americans. Cow
ardice among Americans. either afloat or
ashore, Is SO rare that it is not worth con-
sidering. If the captain Of battle-ship
with 500 men On board or the colonel of
regiment of 1000 American regulars
goes into action he does not make a
discount OF one-hundredth part OF
1 per cent for backing or skulking
on the part OF his men. One of the best
illustrations of this characteristic of Ameri-
cans was the behavior of the Yorktowns
crew under my command in Valparaiso
harbor. A very bad and hostile feeling
prevailed against Americans at that time.
The Yorktown became the asylum of GER
tain political refugees. The Government
on top at that time demanded the surren-
der OF these people. / refused to give
them up. The commanding officer at Val
paraiso of the Chilean forces requested the
admiral commanding one OF one European
squadrons on that station to say to me
that unless these refugees were surren-
dered they would follow my ship to sea
with three cruisers, each larger than my
own, and an lronclad nearly four times
her size, and as soon as we got outside the
marine league they would heave me to and
demand the surrender ofthe fugifives
VI asked the admiral to excuse me for a
moment and went to see those who had
placed themselves in my care. I said to
them that had promised them an asylum
and to convey them in safety to Callao,
Peru, and l meant to live up to that
promise. then told them what had
heard. told them that the Chilean fleet
might attack me, and that in that event I
would doubtless be overpowered. But
continued, the asylum that have
guaranteed to you shall be good until my
ship Is under water. If you are satisfied
with that kind of an asylum you are well
come to it.
'They all assented and then returned
to the admiral and stated that would not
surrender the men. He then informed
me, as already stated, that I would be
followed, and he rem arked that If the
three big Chilean ships attacked me my
little Yorktown would not last thirty min
utes. In reply / requested the admiral to
say to the officer commanding the Chilean
squadron that while my little ship might
not last more than thirty minutes, She
will make - of a lot of trouble while
she is afioat.' do not know whether the
European admiral gave this message in
these words, but do know that steamed
out OF Valparaiso Bay the next day about
noon with all my refugees aboard, and
that no ship of the Chilean squadron fol-
lowed me.n
That sort of thing explains the Eight
ing Bob"
