Charles Evans, employed in the Gov

his place Of employment Mrs. Evans
was at home to greet them, however.
As soon as the couple had received
forgiveness from Mrs. Evans, the

event Young Bradley is 20 years
old. His bride is eighteen. Objec-

solely on their youth. Parents of
both the young man and his bride
had advised them to wait a year or
two, but neither was willing to heed
the advice.
Monday they were at the parson-

MRS. EVANS PENSION.
Efforts to Be Made to Induce Congress
to Increase it.

That Mrs. Evans, wife of the late
Rear-A Admiral Robley d. Evans, would
welcome a substantial increase in the
pension allowed her by law as a
widow of a naval officer has become
known in Washington.
Ii is now expected that efforts will
be made by members of Congress to
obtain legislation granting her a COM
Portable income for life. 1t is said
that while Mrs. Evans is by no means
in want, or in danger of facing serious
deprivation. the late Admiral left no
considerable fortune.
The amount which will be allotted
to Mrs Evans by the existing law is
$50 a month. This sum. together
with what the Admiral left, would
not, ii is said, relieve Mrs. Evans of
limitations on her mode of living in
case she cared to continue a home in
dependent Of the other members of
her family.
There is ample precedent on which
to base action by Congress granting
Mrs. Evans more liberal pension.
There are women living today, widows
Of distinguished officers of the army
and navy, who are receiving pensions
of $4,000 a year. There are but few
of these women, however. A more
considerable number Of widows of dis
tinguished officers are receiving pen
sions Of S100 a month, while more are
getting pensions Of $50 a month. All
Of these have been granted by special
acts of Congress.
