THE NATIONAL TRIBU.
New York. The negro porter who stole
the Parsons jewelry has been found
and the jewels recovered, but up to
now they have not found the trail Of
the Adams burglar.
1t is said that Senator Benjamin r.
Tilfman, of South Carolina, is again in
declining health, and that since he has
experienced second stroke of paraly-
| sis it is thought that he will never again
appear in the Senate. He is at his
South Carolina home, where his physi-
| clans have ordered him to remain alb
solutely quiet. This news came about
thru a summons for him to appear as
a witness in the divorce case of Mrs.
| Tilman, Jr., against the Senator's son,
but on advice of the Senator's physi-
clan he was excused from testifying at
the trial. The case has been postponed
indefinitely.
! Four bronze tigers, which cost the
District of Columbia $4,000. are being
placed in position on the corner para
pets of the 18th street bridge across
Piney Branch. These four tigers are
said to be wonderfully artistic, and
| lHty Stdtu dlI1OSl tS tiit Tiger
| is not considered a particularly orna-
mental beast 1t is said that there are
$40 worth of gold to a tiger in the COM
| position of the bronze metal. The rea-
son for this gold mixture is, so the
foundrymen state. to keep the bronze
from making cold shuts" 1t is said
! that the gold makes the alloy flow
more readily and easily and prevents
cracks. 1t is said that Mr.. Proctor, the
artist, lived in the circus tent with the
circus tigers, studying the animals for
months before he began work on them.
| There is one woman in Washington
at least who does not propose to have
| her morals injured by association with
her husband. The lady is Mrs Gladys
Loughran, who has filed suit for legal
separation from her husband, Leo
Dominick Loughran. The couple had
the husband deserted his wife, SO she
states in her petition. He was pros
porous cigar dealer, and found a great
deal of fault with his wife because she
was not swift enough to suit him,
and she positively declined to smoke
cigars and cigarets. AS Mrs. Loughran
found that association with the man
whom she had married was going to
corrupt her morals, she files petition
for divorce.
The housewife who has any regard
whatever for the internal works of the
members of her family to whom she
caters will fight shy of canned tomato
pulp. District Attorney Wilson has just
discovered that there are go cases Of
this truck in Washington that are not
fit for hog feed. He says that they are
composed of filthy and decomposed
animal substances and that they must
be destroyed. The opinion IL also adj
vanced that there is q heap Of this sold
all over the country. The cans have
on them a large red tomato and the
the material contained in these cans
anybody mighty soon would be "in the
soup" who used the rank composition.
The opinion Is also advanced that If
the housewives of the country would
Danish from their tables all of the
cheap canned stuff alluringly and artis-
tically shown In grocery houses that in
testinaI diseases and dyspepsia would
disappear from the American family.
But just es long as some housewives
absolutely decline to take the place of
Martha and look well after the ways
of the household. just 80 long the teeth
of children will continue to decay, they
will die young of various intestinal
troubles and the older members of the
dyspepsia and with all the kindred dis
eases
Gov. Walter z. Clark, of Alaska, who
was formerly q Washington newspaper
correspondent, has been in the city
looking up old acquaintances. In speak
ing of the dominion over which he is
Governor Mr.. Clark says that aitho he
is a good deal Of an optiriss and believes
hat Ia fIItr;rs hAf0ra Alas
ka, he must at the same time admit
that she Is not developing as she
should.
Alaska in rich, and will be devel-
oped," he says, but development Is
greatly retarded by the difficulty Of get
ting fuel. and believe it to be true
that no country can develop unless IL
has fuel at hand or easily accessible.
And this, in Alaska, Of course. brings
up the subject Of the coal lands.
The people Of the Territory are not
80 much concerned about how the coal
lands shall be opened, SO that fuel can
be had, as they are about getting at
the coal. They need fuel for develop |
ment, and do not hesitate to say that
/ do not believe Alaska will make any
great material advancement until this
matter of the coal lands II settled.
Il believe, of course, in safeguarding |
public interests, but / do not subscribe |
to the contention that large corpora |
tons should be prohibited from assist |
ing in the development of Alaska. II
do not take the view that Alaska Ia ex- |

State of Pennsylvania have amounted
to had 1t not been for the capital in
vested by rich men and corporations
No country can be developed without
capital"

When Levi P. Morton was Vice Pres
ident Of the United States he built him
self a magnificent home in Washington,
SO magnificent, in fact, that 1t has been
quite difficult to get tenants for 1t since
the Mortons left, as it would be most
expensive to keep 1t up. 1t has been
for most of the time since the Mortonsl
left the home Of the Russian Legation.
Now Mr.. and Mrs Morton have de-
cided to join the ever-increasing col
