HAD HER HAIR COMBED.
"A Little Child Who Was Lost, bu
Found In the CnnifOl

A touching incident occurred yesterday
In the Senate wing of the Capitol that made
every man who witnessed it feel better all
day. At about IL o'clock a lady entered
the Office of the sergeant-at-arms of the
Senate leading little girl about two wears
and a half old by the hand. The baby was
neatly dressed, but her face bore the marks
of tears. She had been found wandering
about the Capitol grounds crying bitterly,
having lost her way from home without
having any notion of where her home was
SO the kindly woman. who refused to allow
her identity to become known took her i,-
TO Gel. Brights office, there to try TO find
the childs parents by the aid of the police
machinery.
The little one was soothed and questioned
but all she could tell the people around her
was that her name was Smith This vague
description of individuality being of no avail
a telephone message was sent TO the sixth
precinct station house, on New Jersey ave-
nue., and a description of the child was
given to the sergeant, who al once recoc-
Ilizei it as that of baby who had lust
been reported to him as lost. So he sent
wore at once to the anxious mother, who
mad called at the station house only few
minutes before, and phoned back to the
Senate to hold the little one
Meanwhile the lady who found the child
mad washed little Miss Smiths tear-stained
face and had combed her hair neatly, TAX
ing rlotherly interest in the wait and
presently the mother appeared. The baby
ran to greet her, ard her first words We're:
Mamma. I've had my hair combed"
Oddly enough, the child proved to he that

been missing from home for nearly two
hours, and had wandered into the Capitol
grounds by the merest accident. The home
is on street between I'd and Sd streets
northeast, and the mother was afraid that
her baby had found her way to the B. and
o. railway tracks.

The Starving Seal Pups.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Senator Sherman wants to go up to the
Seal Islands this summer and see the spec
tacle of $4,000 young fur seal pups slowly
stdTve to death on the Pribilov Islands, as
they starved by actual count on these is
lands last year; but there are other Sena-
tory who don't want this thing to occur
again, and they object to such a shame
full recurrence; they propose to pass the
Dingley bill, and end forever that hideous
mockery of protection which now dis
graceS US and robs our treasury on the
Seal Islands of Alaska.
The work which Senator Sherman has cut
out in that resolution for senatorial
junket to Alaska which he introduced yes
terday would take him five years to fin
ish in any sort of practicable form. 1t is
very doubtful whether he get five able
bodied men besides himself to make that

A Country Postmaster Explains.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Noticing the remarks of Mr.. P. B. Publ
CO. complaining of the repeated failure of
poS'ihasters to stamp postmarks legibly
upon letters, 1 am moved to say that the
average country postmaster finds it almost
impossible to make clear postmark with
the steel stamps supplied him by the de-
partment- The hard and woody pad, the
Vlseous ink, are things that he can hardly
accomplish artistic work with.
NOW, II the law allowed him to use the
rupber type stamp, similar to that he uses
IN MS money order business, he can make
a clear impression, legible all the time
Inks are made for rubber stamps that are
durable enough for poStma rks The rub
Der types are SO cheap that there would be
saving in their use. Yours truly,

offensive and insulting language. Judge

peared in court the judge said he wes a
gentlemanly little fellow, but he has gone
from bad to worse until he has almost
reached tho bottom. He was given thirty
days and his companion was sent down
