WASHINGTON, July 30.-A poor
girl starts for the west to make her
fortune-or living-by teaching mu-
sic. In Colorado she is a passenger
in stage coach; one Of her fellow
passengers is a young miner; she
meets the young man, who falls des-
perately in love with her, and in a
short time they are married. The
young miner discovers a rich gold
mine., and in a few years is fabu-
lousy rich. The two come to Wash
ington to live, build a palatial man.
sion, entertain lavishly, go abroad
and hobnob with royalty.
1t sounds like the plot of a very
romantic paper novel. But it isn't.
1t is merely the biography Of one
of the most prominent couples in
Washington's social life. Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh of Colorado.
Everybody in Washington knows
about the Washes. Both are popu-
lar, and he is quite generally spoken
Of as Tommy Walsh. But it is a
fact that Tommy is as shrewd in
business as he Is well liked by his
acquaintances, and when he was in
BRUSSELS a year ago King Leopold.
who is himself deeply interested in
business ventures Of all kinds, took
the trouble to meet the Colorado min
ing king. and it is said they put up
sevehral deals together.
The man who introduced Mr.. Walsh
to his present wife Is living in Wash
ington and represents him in some
Of his real estate interests in this
city. He denies a published story
that Mrs. Walsh was a waitress In q
restaurant In Alabama when her hus-
band met her. Her maiden name
was Reed, and her mother. who had
accompanied her on her western jour-
ney and was with her in the stage
coach on that momentous occasion, is
now living in New York.

PfRSA'S GORGEOUS
MINISTER.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-General
Isaac Khan, the bachelor minister
from Persia. has leased a house in
the fashionable section Of Washington
and here proposes to make return
for the lavish hospitality which has
been extended to him since his arriv-
al in this country.
In early autumn he will open the
first full-fiedged legation which Per-
STA has ever maintained at the Amer
lean seat of government. In order
that his new home may be as unique
as possible the Persian diplomat is
importing a large number of rare
and costly oriental rugs and tapes

BOSTON, Mass, July 30.--J. M.
Guffey. the oil king, is about to trans
form big failure into a colossal sue
cess. He will buy the big seven
masted schooner, T. w. Lawson, re-
move the present rig and transfer
her into an oil carrying barge. This
vast ship cost $250.000 to build a
year ago. and her owners expected
that she would be a mint; she was
not. She has too many masts, and
it took an hour to put her about"
The ships history is one of hard
luck. She went aground several times
on her maiden trip. She is too bulky
and unwieldy. but is splendid ship.

A Representative.

The chamber of commerce at the last meeting unanimously elected Hon. B. F. Willard to represent this section of Alaska at Washing ton, during the next session of con gress.
 A fund will be raised on which MT. Willard may draw for any in cidental expenses, although he re- fused to accept any consideration for the labor involved or living ex- penses while at Washington.
 An effort will be made to have outlying towns cooperate with us, and endorse the representative.
 The Chamber is to be congratu- lated in having taken this step and upon their choice of representa- tive. Much good can be accom- plished by man who is as conver- sant with the conditions and needs of this section, as Mir. Willard is.
 The committe appointed by the chamber of commerce to investigate the matter of appointing delegates to send to the convention at Ju- neau, reported that it would be ad- visable to call public meeting to settle the question as there is con- siderable difference of opinion re- garding it. It is very doubtful if any money can be raised in this community to pay expenses of dele gates to convention of this kind, and the chamber was wise to put the matter in the hands oi the citl- zens instead of taking the responsi- bility themselves. Now that Val dez will be represented by an able advocate at Washington, it is hard ly worth while to send delegates to Juneau. It is practically certain thatfive representatives fromValdez would be the only ones sent from ike third division, and they would be 30 hopelessly in the minority that they could expect no consider. ation. The second division is not likely to be represented, and the result will be southeastern Alas ka convention instead of an Alaska convention.
 Now that the money has been advanced for securing a patent to the tOwnsite, it is to be hoped that no time will he lost in having the surveys made and the matter push ed through. It will increase the value of property in town to a great extent to have a perfect title to lots, and it will also add materi- ally to the permanency of the town.

had received and allow the Romero

This proposition was agreed to, and
as there was no complaint lodged

mistrusted at the time that all was
not right, and future developments
have proven that he was right in his
surmise, as it was not long until he

saying he would call for the goods

Marshal Outright is making every
effort to locate the man by using the
