A BIG HAUL OF JEwELRY.
Eleven Thousand Dollars Worth Stolen
From Lieut.. Tyler's Residence.
THE ROBBERY OCCURRED WHILE THE FAMILY
WERE AT DiNNER-PRoBABLr THE WORK or AN
EXPERT BURGLAR-THEoRIEs OF THE POLICE
TALK WITH LIEUT.. TYLER

A TALK WITH LIEUT.. TYLER
A thief succeeded last evening in stealing
about $1,000 worth Of jewelry from Mrs. A. c.
Tyler, the wife of Lieutenant Tyler, retired
naval officer at 1907 street. When Mrs. Tyler
went down stairs to dinner about o'clock she
left her iewelry case on the window-sill of the
rear room. There is a porch back of the house
the roof of which is just below the second
story window. The adjoining house on the
east stands back from the street. and access
therefrom to the Tyler house is quite easy. The
east end of the Tyler house porch. mentioned
above, is covered with vines, which would
make concealment Of a thief climbing the bal
cony quite easy. There are three theories as
to the robbery. One is that the thief first en-
tered unobserved the adjoining house, and
then gained a position on the roof of the porch
mentioned, and went thence through the back
window OF the Tyler house. Another theory is
that the burglar climbed the posts of the porch.
and the third and last is that he may have
entered the Tyler house unobserved and locked
himself IN the room, secured the casket and
escaped over the balcony roof. At any rate.
while the family and some guests were at din
ner one OF the domestics who had been engaged
with some of the young ladies in the upper
rooms had occasion 10 60 into Mrs. Tyler 5
room which she had left open but few min
utes before. and found the door closed. She at
frst supposed that some of the children had
locked her out. and going TO two other doors
found both closed. This aroused her suspicious
that something was wrong, and she at once
notified the family. The door was forced and
the casket was found all right, but the con-
tents-a diamond star, several finger-rings.
scarf-pins and small gold-plated tray-had
disappeared. The police were duly notified,
and description given of the stolen gems.
WHAT LIEUT.. TYLER SAYS.
Lieut. A. c. Tyler's scarf was unkemptly tied
this morning; not because it is the habit of
that gentleman to wear his neckgear thus. but
because his stock of scarf-pins entirely de-
pleted and there was nothing wherewith 10
fasten the scarf neatly under his collar. Lieut..
| Tyler thinks the thief climbed up the posts OF
the back porch and jumped on hearing the
noise made by the servant when she tried the
door. as deep footprints were found in the soft
soil below, which. when measured according to
the Garborian process, we're found TO be those

Physical Training of the Soldier.

From the United Service.
If asked in what does the physical training OF
the American soldier consist the writer should
be compelled TO answer that other than a
modicum of drill there is none. To laymen
this declaration may be astounding but il is
not the less true. The dangerous and difficult
duty which falls to our troops upon the western
plains If not, properly speaking. physical train
ing. which should precede and fit them for that
service. In recreatIye exercises We are. too,
sadly deficient. With the exception of AN occa-
sional game OF baseball, in which possibly 3 per
cent OF the command participate, how rarely
do we see our enlisted men engage in any out
door sports or pastimes, As for educational
exercises. none are prescribed. Swimming.
which Is both recreative and educational. and
should be compulsory, Is seldom practieed,
even when the opportunity offers. The newly-
joined recruit is put through the ''setting-up"
and squad drill for week or two. by which
time he gets his Springfield rife, and. owing 20
the scarcity of men. often goes on guard before
he has learned TO salute properly. This
scarcity is principally due 10 the small COM
panies and scattered condition of our little
army, and. in part. 70 the large number
OF men employed on extra and daily
duty. The latter practice Is the bane of
the service. The soldiers former occupation
is entered upon his descriptive list at the time
of enlistment, and, if carpenter. blacksmith.

ster. the post quartermaster has him detailed
on extra or daily duty in that capacity before
he has learned TO depress his toes. II farmer

A Notable Author.

SKETCH OF DIR. SHEA. TO WHOM GEORGETOWN
UNIVERSITY GAVE GOLD MEDAL.
Rev. j. Ravens Richards, president of George
town university, has just returned from Eliza
beth, New Jersey where he went to present to
John Culinary Shea the diploma of doctor of
laws and the gold medal awarded to him at the
late celebration of the centenary. Dr.. Shea is
at present confined to his bed with broken
knee-cap, the consequence OF fall received
while returning from meeting of the Histori-
cal association in New York. This eminent
writer is regarded rs the most profound his
torical scholar yet produced by the Catholic
church in America. His chief eminence is
probably based upon his researches into the
history Of the Catholic church in America.
and it was for the volume on the life and times
of Archbishop Carroll that the medal was
awarded him by Georgetown university at the
celebration of its centenary, as the work con-
taps the early history of the college, which was
founded by the veneratod archbishop.
The medal was struck in gold. and was of the
same size as the medals concentrating the
centenary which were presented to President
Cleveland and Cardinal Gibbons. The diverse
of the medal contains a bust in profile of DIR.
Shea, with the full name running parallel with
the rim. On the reverse, inclosed within half
wreaths of laurel and of oak is the inscription:
Georgetown university Oil her hundredth an
niversary to the historian of the Catholic
church in America for his work, the Life and
Times of Archbishop Carroll
The coin is fine specimen of medalurgy.
Any one who il acquainted with DR.. Shea will
Immediately recognize in the medal striking
fidelity of likeness to the original. The fne
lines, the clearness and precision Of outline,
the delicate workmanship of the features
beard. and even eyebrows, show the earnest
ness of the artist and his success in producing
faithful likeness Of the historian. The leaves
on the reverse and the acorns are also splendid
instances of skill and delicacy. The medal i'm
presses ono with the taste, simplicity and cor
rectness which the artist has managed to COM
bine very successfully. A proof Of the medal
in lead Is preserved in the college museum.
