Yesterday morning, in accordance with
a previously arranged programme, to
which John Waterhouse, Esq, was not a
party, Chief of Police Thomas D. Ben
nett sent out official notices for meeting
of the Council Gunboat Committee, for
eight o'clock last evening, at the Office of
Clerk T. C. Moffat, of the Board of Com
missioners. In response TO this call,

win, A S. Hare. r. P. Glass, Fred c.
Williams. Fred Colmar, Peter Bachmann,
w. c. Beans. Percy Callahan, Al. Smith.
John C. Riheldaffer, Charles Ebeling and
Mayor ]. r. Butts assembled. and after
spending a short time in social CONVEX
sation, the meeting was called TO order by
Mr. Moffat, and c. H. Copp was made
chairman and w. c. Beans secretary.
Upon an enquiry from the chair as to the
object of the meeting. Sheriff Richards
took the floor. and in splendid little ad-
dress, during which some of the salient
features of the long Journey were recount
ed, and the personal efforts of certain
gentlemen for the good of the entire party
were referred to, presented Mr.. Water
house, in the name and on behalf Of the
excursionists, with handsome pair of
diamond sleeve buttons.
Mr.. Waterhousa was a good deal sur
prised. He had been given to understand
that the meeting was TO be for the pur-
pose of preparing formal report to Coun-
Gil and asking for the discharge of the
committee. and when his name was men
toned and the modest present handed
over, he looked rather helpless for a mo-
ment or two. He rallied in splendid shape,
however, and returned his thanks in a
most feeling manner and was vociferous-
ly applauded.
After a short social session the meet
ing was reconvened and n permanent or
ganzation was formed. with James p.
Maxwell as president, w. C. Beans as Sec
rotary and John Waterhouse as treasurer.
The three officers named form the eXecu-
tive committee. with power to actl in all
matters. 1t was resolved that an annual
reunion to be held on September I'd of each
year, at place to be selected by the ex-
ecutive committee, and new officers will
be chosen annually. There will be about
twenty-five members of the organization
which becomes permanent with last
nights meeting. Official lists of the mem
bership will be prepared In a few days
and sent to all the members of the party
residing in this county, and perhaps also
to out-of- town members and the annual
reunions will be pleasant occasions, be-
yond a doubt.

done she sees a wide field for more and
better work. Both of the young ladies

HITS PENSION ATTORNEYS.
Commissioner Evans Would Eliminate
Them From the Business.

Washington, Dec. Commissioner
of Pensions Evans has been giving
some attention to a proposition where
by the service of pension attorneys en-
gagged in the prosecution of claims be
fore the office may be dispensed with.
and their work done by officials who
are under government supervis-
ion. Informally he has been discus
sing the matter with members of the
house committee on invalid pensions,
but is not yet prepared to outline the
details of his plan. The present sys-
tenn, he says. is wrong and should have
been done away with long ago. Dis
continuing the services of the attorneys
would result in a great saving to both
pensioners and government, and la
biity to fraud in issuing pens OlS would
be reduced to a minimum Under the
government supervision the pension bu-
reau would have direct control of the
persons appointed to look after the
cases, whose business it would be to see
that all honest claims were promptly
and intelligently presented. The COM
missioner notes the fact that $13, 500 600
has been paid out during the past thir-
teen years to pension attorneys by APP
pIcants for the prosecution of their
claims
