Robley D. Evans was born in 1886, in
Virginia. He was appointed to the naval
academy in September, 1860.
At the end of three years he left the
academy before having been graduated
and was ordered to duty with the squad
rons operating along the southern
! coast.
Among other fights, Evans figured IN
both attacks on Fort Fisher. In the last
battle he received two severe wounds,
and was relegated to the hospital. The
surgeons examined his leg. ut will
have to be amputated," they said.
That didn't suit young Evans. He
concluded that he still had some use Tor
| that leg, and determined to assert his
proprietary rights. Through some
means or other he secured a big navy
| pistol, and when the surgeons came
back with their instruments he was
ready for them. One hand was hanging
I down behind his cot.
What are you going to do?" he asked
"I'm afraid we shall have to amputate
your leg" replied the chief surgeon
reaching for his instrum ents.
Like flash young Evans right arm
came into view, and sawbones found
himself gazing into the muzzle Of an
ugly-looking pistol.
Drop that knife, D. you'll" ex-
claimed the patient.
| The order was obeyed.
Nov, just want a word with you
fellows" continued young Evans. THAT
leg doesn't come off. Do you under
stand? The first one of you who makes
a move to take it off will get load OF
lead"
And he carried the day. The leg
didn't come off, 1t knit rapidly, and the
wounds healed under proper treatment
He carries limp to this day, but he
saved his leg, and that's the main
thing.
It is this same leg which Is now
troubling Fighting Bob" and that yll
probably cause him to retire from active
sea service, if not from the navy. 1t is
suggested at the navy department al
Washington that he may be assigned to
duty as member of the lighthouse
board. He would retire for age in 1908
Evans married the sister Of his chum
Harry Taylor. She was the syeetheart
of his boyhood days. Maybe he was
thinking of her when he saved his leg
Capt. Evans and his wife have three
children. The eldest, Charlotte, was

The Persian army strikes a stranger
with wonder, and he is apt to imagine
that he is gazing upo2 the gathering Of

characters a donkey is assigned, for
there is neither baggage train nor COM

married to Lieut.. Charles c. Marsh
Frank, the only son, was graduated from
the naval academy.
Their cottage at Fortress Monroe was
built when Capt Evans was on duty with
the lighthouse board. 1t was constructed
by permission of the treasury depart
ment on the reservation controlled by
that department as buoy and light sta
tfon Subsequently he had some diff
Guilty with the gentleman who was sec
rotary of the navy at the time. The lat
ter. in order to crafty his personal feel
ing in the matter, induced the treasury
department to direct the removal of the
house.
This aroused the fighting blood of
Capt. Evans, and, moreover, his suspi-
cions were aroused as to whether the
cottage came within the scope of the
department. He requested survey and
found that his suspicious were correct.
Greatly to his delight he discovered that
the house was in the army reserva-
ton.
His relations with that department
were most cordial, and the outcome of
it all was that the cottage was permitted
to remain where it was, subject to the
conditions imposed upon all buildings
on government land outside the fortifi-
cations, which are in effect that it shall
remain until the war department sees
fit to order it's removal. And it is there
that Mrs. Evans lives, the idol of all the
boys at Fortress Monroe.

She and Duchess Dues once met
near the bed of poor unfortunate
girl in a Paris garnet. They cement

hands.
Louise Michel said: 81 have some

The duchess agreed to help her with

She served her term in prison in the
affair of the bakeries, when bread was
taken for the starving, and just es-
capped being put in prison for the Bou-
LANCER affair. Then she left France
suddenly for fear she would be shut up
in a madhouse.
Afterward she lived in London for a
time, engaging in literary and his
torical work She wrote of herself:

On reaching home and displaying the

Goodacre, republican district captain, to

until a reward was offered. Next day
he took the aged woman to the Holland
house.
The advertisement of the loss of the

Each Party's Success Depends Upon the
Large Cities.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, November THE
special interest in politics in Connecticut
today centers in the prospects of the re-
publicans and democrats to carry the cities
tomorrow. The chairmen Of both state
central committees today expressed their
confidence of carrying the state for both
national and state tickets.
Each chairman also stated that the sue
cess of his party will depend in a large
measure upon the size of the plurality given
by the cities in which the so-called labor
vote will be heavy. The democrats claim

Samuel A. York will defeat Livingston
Cleaveland for judge of probate. In this
city, Bridgeport, Hartford and Waterbury
there are close contests for senators.
In three Cities Bridgeport, Derby and
Stamford, the general election is compli-
Gated with a poll for municipal officers. In
the last mentioned city Homer s. Cum
mings, the democratic national committee
man and twice mayor, is again candidate
for the mayoralty. Here also there is said
to be an effort among some republicans to
senator and Chairman Michael Kenealy of
the republican state committee, who Is a
candidate for representative, as an outcome
of the bitter contest between Ex-Governor
Buckley and Mr.. Fessenden for United
States Senator Hawley's seat.
AS the time draws near for the balloting
to begin there are indications of many I'M
expectedly close local contests over minor
offices which, while they may not affect
the general result on the national and state
tickets, may cause more or less delay in
the count tomorrow night.

A number of meetings are scheduled for

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November THE
political atmosphere in this state is I'M
usually calm today, due no doubt to the
general anticipation that the customary re-
publican majorities will be voted. For a
presidential campaign there has been less
activity than might have been expected.
Indications point to fine weather tomor-

the opinion that a full republican vote will
be polled throughout the state and that

Both Sides Claim State Fight for
Governor Close.

TRENTON, N. j.. November THE cam
pagn in this state has been so heated that
the respective guberna torial candidates will
not cease their speech-making until to-
night. Both the republican and democratic
managers are claiming the electoral vote OF
the state, with the chances apparently in
favor of the former.
The fight for governor, however, will be
close. The democratic managers have made
a great fight in the northern counties on the
equal taxation question and claim to have
made inroads on the republican vote. The
republican leaders say that any detection in
the northern end of the state will be more
than offset by the big republican majoritieS
in the lower tier of counties.
Claims from the rival headquarters lead
to the belief that Roosevelt and Fairbanks
will have at least $1,000 majority and that
Stokes, republican, WI, probably be elected
by a greatly reduced majority over Black,
the democratic gubernatorial candidate.
