RETIRE ON
AUGUST Is
FIGHTING B0B'S" TRIP WITH
FLEET is LAST
MAY BE SUCCEEDED BY CAPTAIN
WAINWRIGHT
His Retirement and That of Admiral
RurweII viii Affect the Whole
Line-Others to
Retire

Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans, in
command of the Atlantic battleship
fleet, will retire from active duty on
August IS next, on account of age, and,
it is not likely that he will continue la
command beyond the date of his re-
tirement, says the Army and Navy
Journal. In the event that the fleet
starts for the Philippines before Au-
gust IS, he may be relieved of command
before the date OF his retirement, His
successor in command of the fleet has
not been chosen, or even considered.
There Is gossip in naval circles that
he will be succeeded by Captain Rich
ard Wainwright, who will reach the
grade of rear admiral July IT, on the
retirement of Rear Admiral William
T. Burwell. The retirement of Admiral
Burwell will cause the promotion OF
three captains to be rear admirals.
They are Captain Royal r. Ingersoll,
chief of staff of Rear Admiral Evans;
Captains Seaton Schroeder and Rich
ard Wainwright, both of whom are ex-
ira numbers in their grade. Captain
Charles J. Badger, superintendent of
the naval academy, has requested that
he be given sea duty next June at tho
end of the present scholastic year, and
1t is probable that he will be assigned
to either the Louisiana or the Virginia.
The report that Captain Wainwright
will succeed Admiral Evans was denied
on February 20 by Secretary Metcalf
and Captain Pillsbury, chief of the
bureau of navigation, both of whom
insisted that no decision as to next
commander of the fleet had been
reached. 1t is probable that Rear Adj
miral Charles S. Sperry, commanding
the Fourth division of the fleet, will be
given an Independent command, prob
ably of the Manila station.
Rear Admirals Charles M. Thomas
of the third division and William Fl.
Emory of the second division have both
requested to be relieved of their present
commands and to be assigned to other
duty Admirals Thomas and Emory
will be placed on the retired list next
| fall, and in view of this fact their
commands will probably be filled by
officers who have a longer period to
serve on the active list.

CELEBRATED AUTHOR
WILL LECTURE HERE

B. r. Baumgardt, the celebrated
author, lecturer and traveller will pre-
sent a course of illustrated travel talks
at Simpson auditorium Thursday even
ing. March ~.
The lecture is a combination Of
travel and history and devoted to the
principal towns and cities of Russia
and Poland. 1t does not particularly
partake of the stereotyped talk on
these subjects.
Prof. Baumgardt is acquainted not
only with the geography of the coun-
tries he has visited. but with their lit
erature, music and history as well, and
for this reason he is considered the
greatest authority on the Pacific coast
on these subjects.
Last season he secured additional
material on this section of the country
by taking a thorough summer ramble
through the center of Europe and add
ed over $500 slides to his already mag
nificent library of Photographic repro
auctions.

"And If they should attempt?" I
ventured.
well" answered the admiral dryly.
"if they are doubtful Thomases we
will have to show them the goods"
AS / said before Bob Evans doesn't
take a back seat for anyone, and the
navy has not done so up to
now. He is not that kind of a man
and it is not that kind of a navy.
So we can rest easy that the Pacific
fleet and its commander are going to
get there.
kIpIIng's Tribute
Kipling once inscribed on the n.y.
leaf of one of the volumes of an edt-
ton of his works and addressed to
Admiral Evans the following lines:
Zogbaum draws with a pencil
And L do things with pen,
But you sit up in a coming tower
Bosslng eight hundred men.
Zogbaum takes care of his business,
And take care OF mine.
But you take care of ten thousand tons
Sky shooting through the brine
Zogbaum can handle his shadows,
And I can handle my style.
But you can handle ten-inch gun
To carry seven mile.
To him that hath shall be given,
And that's why these books sent
To the man who has lived more stories
Than zogbaum or could invent.

bob" EVANS CAREER JUSTI-
FIES POPULAR NAME
TYPICAL SEA MASTER WITH AN
IRON WILL
-----------
Man of Blunt Speech and Generous
Heart, He Is Working for
the Navy All the
Time
BY ALBERT EDWARD uLLMAN.

A square jawed determined looking
little man shouldered his way through
the fashionable throng at Fifth ave-
nue. church one Sabbath morning and
calmly took possession of a front pew.
An usher regarded him doubtfully for
a moment, but second glance at the
stranger made him feel that he had
better leave well enough alone.
The lone occupant Of the handsomely
carved and upholstered seat of wor-
ship appeared oblivious of all sur
roundings except the pulpit in front of
him. Even when several persons led
by most dlgnified well tailored gem
teman hesltated at the gate of his
pew and then took the one behind he
seemed unaware of their action.
With a wondering look the dignifed
one regarded the back OF the intruder's
head Then he removed a card from
his case and wrote the following mes
sage on the back:
Dear Sir: / pay $4,000 for the pew
you are occupying"
lash the square jawed little man read
the card, and then drawing one from
his own pocket he scrubbed few
words on the surface and passed 1t to
the man in the rear.
Slowly that person adjusted his
glasses and gasped as he digested the
answer
you pay too damned much.''
Turning the card over he gHsped
again, for the Identity of the invader
stood revealed in the single line:
"Robley ID. Evans, Rear Admiral, u.
S. N"
Al the end of the service the admiral.
with slight bow to his correspondent.
made his way out and proceeded
calmly ON his journey. Some persons
might object to the manner in which
he obtained his pew, but those who
know Bob" Evans say he never takes
back seat for any one.
Plenty of Backbone
Above all things the fighting admiral
is proud-proud of his country, proud
of the navy. proud of his rank. There
is not a single kow-tow in his make
up and there is not living, breathing
creature, other than woman. that he
would take his hat off to. Bob Ev-
ans can only bow from his shoulders
up for he is pretty much all backbone
During the jamestown exposition
Gen. Frederick Dent Grant, IN charge
of the military ceremonies ashore. had
an amusing experience with Admiral
Evans, who had charge of the naval
demonstration. Gen. Grant upon the
arrival of the fleet sent word to the adj
miral that he would like to see him. He
received answer the next day to the eff
feet that the admiral awaited his call
and that private gig would be placed
at his visitors disposal
However. few days later, being
ashore, Admiral Evans called at the
generals hotel and sent up his card.
A polite servant came back with the
information that General Grant was
entertaining a few friends and would
the admiral do him the honor to wait
few minutes.
"Teli him to come, and come damn
quick" snapped out the old sea-dog,
and needless to say, Gen. Grant Joined
him almost Immediately
These stories are simply typical OF
the Evans character and disposition.

day long In the oak grove by the negro
quarters. He heard black men and
women singing at work in the broad
cotton fields; he saw Col. Marshland
riding over the hills with his hounds,
he ate wonderful dinners which fat
black mammies served in the big
dining-room, then came the banjo, the
fiddle and the evening dance. aE
Then fell the change. The negroes
were hnshed. the old colonel rode
among the laborers stroking his white
mustache, brooding necessarily, gray
with care. And the young mist'is--
even the little pickaninny somehow
felt her aching remorse, she was 80
sad, so beautiful, 90 crushed. The lit

Possibly the men iiifprison were =
trine more to be pitied; yet even
they had hope Of release. and he had
none. But It was worth trying.
So he wrote to the secretary Of
the organization for the names Of
some Of the prisoners. He was IN
formed that his letters could not be
answered.; the rules Of the prison
would not permit But he undertook
the one-sided correspondence.
Twice week he wrote, and the let
ters taxed his strength to its limit.
But into those letters he put his
whole soul, all his experience, all his
faith. all. his bright wit, all his Chris.

1t is hard to continue writing when
writing costs labor and pain, and
especially hard when there III no re-
ply. There were times when he grew
discouraged, and was tempted to give
It up But 1t was his one remaining
talent. and he resolved to use 1t ~
long as II lasted.
At length he got q letter. It was

SURELY WELL DONE
cRIPPLE's SPLENDID USE OF HIS
ONE TALENT.
From Bed Of Suffering Message 81
Light and Hope Went Forth TO
Cheer the Weak and
Unfortunate.

BY the time this article IL printed
the man whose story 1t relates may
have gone to his reward. Already he
has added few more painful months
to those that had gone before. That
he can live another year, or even half
that time, seems now all but impossi-
BILE; and almost any morning may
witness for him the daybreak of the
life OF which 1t Is written that there
shall be no more pain.
When the terrible accident was over,
and they uncovered his mangled body,
20 little was left in 1t that they
thought him dead. And when the sur
geons had finished their work there
remained but the physical wreck Of
man.
Both legs were gone; the left arm
was missing, and had taken with 1t
the greater part OF the collar bone. OF
the right hand only a finger and the
thumb remained. There was only
enough left of the man that had been
to suffer and remember.
But he still possessed brilliant
mind stored with the rich fruitage Of
college training and enriched by
travel in every part Of the world! And
1t was all wasted, wasted, wasted!
There was nothing he could do but
to remain a helpless sufferer.
SO he thought as he sat by the win
dow in the Home for Incurables, and
looked ont on a world Of which he
had ceased to be p&rt. Before him
lay his Bible and he read the parable
of the talents, and reflected bitterly
that he had now not one talent to
bury; he himself was as good as
buried. and his talents, which had
been many, were buried already.
An old lady wheeled her chair be-
side his, and read letter which had
been sent her. II was from Q stran.
ger, but II did her good.
= He was interested, and asked her
about It. and learned that there was
a kind of organization that furnished
addresses of invalids and shut-in folks
TO persons who were willing to write
them cheerful letters. She had sent
her name as one who would be glad of
an occasional letter, and this unknown
correspondent wrote her regularly.
and the letters comforted her.
A sudden thought came to him. To
receive letters would be little com.
fort to him. but why should he not
write them? But to whom? Could
there be any persons so shut in as he
who could be cheered by his letters?
