REUBEN FOSTER RESIGNS AS HEAD OF CHESAPEAKE STEAMSHIP CO. His Been in the Transportation Business 41 Years, and Perfumed Spendid Wort . l The Baltimore American says— i Mr Reuben Foster, after 41 years . of active service as the repsonsibie < head of the Chesapeake Steamship < Company and its predecessors, ten- < dered his resignation as president of 1 the company recently at a meeting of ' the board of directors. The resigns- < tion, which went into effect on Oc- ' tober 1, was accepted with great i regret on the part of the men who I have befiB^associated with Mr. Foster in the steamship business, for it has £ been largely through his wiBe guidance c that the company has met with such c wonderful success. t A year ago, when the fortieth anni- c versaxy -f Mr. Foster's presidency of n 3 the Chesapeake Company was reached, E he advised his associates of bis desire » n tone relieved of his responsibilities, o i- As Mr. Foster was determined upon n n such action the board of directors re- u d luctantly began to look about for a a e possib'e successor. It was desired u v that a man of practical experience f sbould be secured, as well as a man of j, . progressive qualities. Attention was j, - finally centered upon Mr. Key Comp- p - ton, at that time connected with the a . Old Bay Line, aud on July 1 last be was § I elected vice president of the Chesa- ti • peake Line and assumed the active ^ , operations of the company. It was p t generally understood that Mr. Compton gi i was to eventually succeed Mr. Foster, 8( - and yesterday he was chosen as the g: future head of the concern. He will ^ . assume the title of president on n, ; October 1. jj , MR.

His first activities in the transportation field were in the year 1868, when he Hssumed charge of , the old Yrrk River Steamship Company. Which operated two side wheel | steamers between Baltimore and West ' Point, Vs.; each with a capacity of 76 passengers and 150 tons of freight Subseqently this company was consoli- ' dated with the Powhatan Steamboat ' Company, then operating between Baltimore and Richmond, by way of the s James River. Later these companies 1 i absorbed by the Baltimore, 1 > Chesapeake and Richmond Steamboat ( - which was incorporated in 1 [ uider tbe laws of Maryland, with 1 ' a capitalization of $250,000. Among E ■ the original it-corporators were 1 ■ Clyde, of Philadelphia ; Wash- 8 ; Booth, 'William Callow and Mr. ' s In 1900 the present Chesapeake ' i Company was incorporated- * under the laws of Maryland with g * capital of $1,000,000, the incorporators I Henry Walters, B.

Thus, from a little company operattwo old-fashioned sidewheel steam- ° between Baltimore and West m Va., Mr. Foster has developed ^ and built up the present Chesapeake Company with a capital iza- F( of $1,300,000 and no floating or " bonded indebtedness whatever on the ** property. The company owns exten- I" sive terminals on Light and Lee ' streets, together with six modern and V equipped vessels built especially J handle the steadily increasing busi- p between Baltimore and tbe South. . Mr Foster has seen the traffic of the J increase since 1874 over 800 ' [per cent, in the passenger business, j while the freight traffic has increased je : per cent, in that period, and there n< i been a reduction of mote than 50 percent, interest i ac

Tho-e who shout loudest for "reform" mean tbe kind of reform which would be represented by placing ihero in power, and those who get noisiest about "bosses" and "bossism" only want to be "bosses" themselves. The beauty of St js that theman on the street or in field sees this very clearly and men before the public in accorwith their deeds in pi blic life rather than by tbe epithets applied to them. A single instance of malfeain office if discovered by the people will do a candidate for public preferment more harm than reams of denunciation on such themes as and similar epithets.
