is. In an official capacity also, he was
enabled to visit all of the ship yards
of Europe before returning to this
country to take the detail Of Assistant
Naval Constructor with the Navy de
partment in Washington, which posi-
tion he held in lS93-4-5. He was later
stationed at the New York Navy
Yard, the Newport News Ship Yard,
and founded, and had charge of the
post graduate course at the Naval
Academy. Upon the outbreak of the
war with Spain in 1898, Captain Hob
son took three post graduate stu
dents in naval construction to the seat
of war instead of to Europe, and was
on the flagship New York previous to
the battle of Santiago. The world
knows how when the volunteers were
called for to take the collier, Merri-
mae into the neck Of Santiago har-
Dor and there sink her, he was first
to respond, and was chosen to at
tempt the task His success and sub
sequent experiences are matters of his
tory that will live as long as the uni
verse.
Following the war Captain Hob
son was detailed to raise the sunken
Spanish warship Theresa and other
vessels, After the completion of this
task he was sent to the Pacific to su-
perintend the reconstruction of the
Spanish ships sunk at Manila. This
he consummated in Hong Kong, resid-
ing in that city for sixteen months.
He was then sent to Cavite at Manila
and was in charge of naval construc-
ton work there until his eyes began
to give him great trouble He return
ed to this country anda his eyes were
condemned. He attempted to work
from time to time, but found that he
would necessarily have to give up
naval construction, and resigned from
the navy. His resignation took effect
in 1908 and he ran for congress in the
Sixth District of Alabama in 1904,
but was defeated. AT that time. how
ever, he wasa made presidential elec-
tor at large. He ran again for nom
ination recently, the Democratic nom
ination in that district meaning elec-
tion, and won. He expects to take his
seat March 4, next.
The attraction last evening was
the Cleveland Ladies' Orchestra, an
aggregation Of exceptional merit, in
cluding brass, reed and string in
struments. The repertoire of the Sc
lections were chosen with particular
attention paid to what pleased the
masses. Popular airs were mixed
with the best of classics, southern
melodies with northern ditties, ma
tional anthems end war time chants.
The largest audience of the season
was present and applauded gener-
ouslv.
The Cleveland Ladies' Orchestra
are individually and collectively mu-
steal geniuses which to hear is
treat not often enjoyed in Tulsa.
Their rendition of classical and pop
ular airs was perfect in form and
technique. Their harmonies display
ed careful preparation and much at
tention to detail.
