About the Seals.
kansas City Star.l

James G. Swan. Of Port Townsend, Wash,
has obtained and published the afidavits of
numerous sealers to the effect that fur seals
are born all along The coast. and that the
pups can swim as soon as they are born. Ii
Is claimed by the State Department that fur
seals breed only on the Pribylov Islands
and that the species would be exterminated
If hunters were not excluded from the Beh-
ring sea. 1t is further asserted that fur seals
were never so abundant at Cape Flattery as
now; that they are found in myriads and
that the Indians kill them by hundreds.
Judge Swan offers 10 prove the truth of his
statement TO Congress or "a Government COM
mission, and 1t is proper that he should be
given hearing before Mr.. Blaine takes an
other twist on the tail Of the British lion.

WORK OF BURGLARS.

A Lot of Jewelry Valued Mt 1888 Taken
from w. q. Overby's Residence.
Those citizens who fancied tina.
thieves had ceased to ply their trade in
Roanoke and betpken themselves to a
more profitable field made a serious
mistake that has cost several of them
considerable money. On Sunday night
the residence of W.. c. OVERLY, at No.
Is Day street s. W., was robbed Of
several articles Of fine jewelry. The
thief performed his work, and we'll too,
between the hours of 10 p. m. and 9 q.
m. The jewelry was i'll the dressing
room of Mrs. overly adjoining her bed
room, and there is every indication that
the robber:: was perfectly familiar with
tho premises. Every door of the man
sion was locked except ono in the rear
through which the servants entered.
On Sunday night tho maid left it open
so that friend could enter. She did
not come, however, and the maid fell
asleep forgetting to close the door.
The thief undoubtedly took advantage
OF this, and noiselessly entered the room
in which the valuables were and carried
them off. There were several pieces of
silverware, number of valuable pic
lures suit of clothes and overcoat worth
S55, and other articles in the room that
he could have carried away easily, but
he was content with robbing Mrs.
OVERLY Of her jewelry. Nothing else
was taken. He took the following ar
ticles:
One cluster diamond ring, one ladies'
gold watch and chain with pendant set
with emeralds and rubies, ono sapphire
and ruby ring, one small diamond ring,
one gold neck chain, with heart pen
dant set with diamond, one gold pin
set with three diamonds, gold bracelet,
SGT with diamonds.
The actual value OF the jewolry taken
is 1898. Elsewhere in to-day's TINES
MIR. OVERLY offers a reward of $25 for is
recovery, and $50 for the arrest and con-
viction of the thief.

Distress Over a MissInr Turkev

Distress Over a Missing Turkey.
Mrs. Reifsnydor, who lives on the
corner of Fourth avenue and Fourth
street n. O.. purchased Christmas
turkey about week ago and has been
fattening it up for service at that time.
The turkey in question was an immense
gobbler, and ate three ears of corn
every day. 1t was confined in the
cellar, and frequently during the day
it would give vent to it's feelings in the
turkey language.
Yesterday morning the turkey was
gone. Mrs. Graves, wife of Councilman
Graves, who lives next door, stepped
out on her rear porch yesterday morn
ing. Mrs. Reifsnyder informed her of
loss and was much distressed. 81 know
some of those negroes who were working
on the street stole that turkey; he made
so much noise.''
His gobblership will be returned this
morning. One Of the boarders at Mrs.
Reifsnyder's, assisted by "Scotty"
Graves, stole the turkey and hid it in the
latter's cellar. 1t was joke of course,
but it caused much apprehension. and
the blame which was placed on the poor
negroes will be removed

Donaldson. the Furniture Dealer, Acquit-
ted bv His Peers.
Nor long since THE TIMES published
that Donaldson, the Salem avenue fur
niture dealer, had been charged with
murder. The charge created commo-
ton among his army of friends and Gus
toners, and they set about an investiga-
ton. Tho result OF their lators re-
vealed that high price" advocates were
responsible for the charge, and as he
had been guilty OF nothing more serious
than selling furniture, carpets, rugs,
window curtains, clocks, lamps, rockers,
pictures, queensware, glassware, china
ware, dolls, Christmas toys and hun
dred other articles to please and COM
fort young and old at prices that brought
them within reach of all, he was pub
lie benefactor. This conclusion is
shared by all the citizens of Roanoke,
the Valley and Southwest Virginia, and
triumphantly acquits Donaldson.
When you pass Donaldson's take q
peep in his windows. After you have
Toasted your eyes step inside and your
soul will be filed with joy. Don't neg

From the Norfolk News and Courier.
DIR. Joseph A. Gale, while in CONVEX
sation with a representative of the
News and Courier yesterday afternoon
in reference to the reported statement
of his in the newspapers in regard to
the prevalence of la grippe in Roanoke,
Va, said that he had been very incor-
rectly reported. lie says that a ply
siGian can positively give no data as to
how long an epidemic OF grippe can
last, because those who have the dis
ease once can have it again, and those
who have not had it are liable to con-
tract 1T at any time. He says he told
the quill of the newspaper when he
called on him that there were not as
many cases in the city then as there
were two weeks previously. This puts
the doctor on record Alright.
