Eighty Friends Gather
at Banquet in Y. M.

About eighty of the friends of B. H.
Warner met at the Y. NJ. c. A. build
ing last night, and at a complimentary
dinner welcomed Mr.. Warner home
from his recent Mediterranean trip, on
daughters.
The dinner assumed much Of the ma
ture OF love feast, those present giving
free expression to their appreciation Of
Mr. Warmers qualities rs a friend and
citizen. Gathered around the board
were many Of the men who have been
instrumental in the upbuilding of the
National Capital and who are closely
identified with its history. Many and
warm were the tributes paid to their
returning friend and neighbor.

Poem and Picture.
Henry L. Bryan's contribution was a
poem, which the plans for the dinner
to welcome Mr.. Warner had inspired
Mr.. Newell had come from Binghamton
to pay tribute to the guest of the even
ing, he having been one of the party on
the same trip.
In replying to the many speeches Of
welcome, Mr.. Warner said that II was a
rare experience in any MANS life to be
welcomed home after an absence in the
hearty way in which his friends had
greeted him. II such expressions of es-
TEEN and appreciation did not make a.
man resolve to merit continuance of
that esteem. he was not worthy of IL.
Not wishing to make his remarks of a
personal nature, he then spoke briefly
of his trip and urged those who had
not taken it to avail themselves of the
opportunity should it present itself.
The original drawing of a picture that
appeared on the menu card was then
presented to Mr.. Warner by Charles F.
Nesbit. The drawing depicted a scene
among the pyramids in Egypt, showing
the pyramids in the background: the
Sphinx changed in feature to resemble
the guest OF honor, and a donkey and 4
camel gazing in admiration on the stolid
features of the Sphinx. AS Mr.. Nesbit
explained it. the camel represented wis
dom, the donkey hilarity. the pyramids
solidity and the Sphinx silence.
