Captain Alfred N. Howard
Hero Of Pretty Romance.
ON HONEYMOON VOYAGE
Skipper OF British Steamer Eva, WEEDS
New Brunswick Lass Whom He
Found Lashed to Log in Atlantic
Ocean.

Although he came TO this port 10
load coal for the tropics, Captain Al
fred w. Howard. commander OF the
British steamer Eva. now anchored In
the harbor, really is out on his honey
moon voyage. His bride was MISS
Emma A. Deakin and their marriage
in New York last Friday night was
the elimination Of a beautiful
romance of the sea.
Captain Howard was commander OF
the cup defender Columbia and Is
well known both in England and this
country. Two years ago he was the
mate of an English bark and while
nearing Cape Race, Newfoundland, he
came upon the wreck of a lumber
vessel that was owned by merchant
in Benton, New Brunswick. Only the
hulk of the vessel was afioat and many
of the survivors were drifting in the
water. One of these was young
woman who was dashed to a spar and
when the boats were put cut. Captain
Howard made for the woman with all
speed.
Love at First Sight.
She was almost exhausted as the
mate lifted her over the side OF the
boat, but she looked up into HE face
with a grateful smile and the captain
swears that he loved her from that
moment.
This episode was the start of the
romance that followed. And the mate
on the return voyage became very
much interested in the girl he had
rescued His life had been an adven-
turous one and it was not surprising
that the young girl grew to love her
rescurer Before she was turned
over to her parents in New Bruins
wick, the mate and the girl had
plighted their troth.
Captain Howard is himself a native
of ST. John. New Brunswick. and he
managed to see his sweetheart at
regular intervals. Their friends heard
the story of the rescue at sea and
Miss Deakin became a heroine in reel
life
At Little Church Around the Corner.
Captain Howard had orders last
week to leave New York for this city
and the tropics and thence to tale
4 cargo of sugar to the Mediterran-
can. His absence would be a long
one and 1t was arranged that he
should wed Miss Deakin and take her
on the voyage. The ceremony was
performed last Friday night at the
Little Church Around the Corner in
New York and Captain and Mrs. How
ard took up their married life in the
snug little cabin on the Eva.
Leaving New York last Sunday. the
Eva arrived here early this week
Mrs. Howard is seeing her first Of
Newport News, but she will visit
many ports ere she again sets foot
on American soil. The Eva is own
cd by A. H. Hull & Company, OF
New York, and plies regularly in the
coal trade out of this port. Captain
Howard has many friends here who
are congratulating him and wishing
him hon voyage"

Takethe Rost-Office
Out Of Politics

In attempting to charge up the deficit in his
Department against the magazines the Postmaster
General has done the country genuine, even 1t an
unintentional, service. He has drawn attention to
the necessity for thorough reorganization OF the
Postal Department. He has emphasized the I'M
portance of taking the Post-Office out of politics
for all time.
The Fifty-ninth Congress authorized an inves-
tigation of postal affairs, and Joint commission,
headed by Senator Penrose and Representative
Overstreet, made thorough investigation OF the
whole subject. AS result, the Overstreet bill,
which contains many excellent Recommendations,
was presented. 1t is not from guesswork that we
have concluded that the Department is in need OF
radical reorganization, but from the official reports
of this Joint Congressional Postal Commission
and of the disinterested accountants hired by It to
investigate the business methods of the Depart
ment We quote from these reports, remember
ing that the findings and criticisms are not ours,
but those of Congressional Commission and its
