melons at the wharf, prices have
dropped Selected fruit this morning
could be bought at $50 a hundred. and

Mr.. Tinker spent many years of his
long life here, and his face and figure
were familiar on the streets of Wash

nue.. He was one of the three surviv-
ing members of the famous "wigwam

dent Lincoln, Mr.. Tinker was appointed
internal revenue collector in his home
town, which position he held until sup

tration. From the beginning to the
end Of his life he was a stanch re-
publican, and voted for every candidate
Only a few weeks before his death, in
discussing present Political conditions,
the venerable politician expressed the
opinion that the republicans would
soon return to power, basing his belief
on the fact, he said, that ever since the
organization of the republican party
success was always preceded by con-
ditions similar to those that now exist.

Mr.. Tinker was one of the organizers
Of the local company which built the
Center Market. Mr.. Tinker Nserved as
president of the company for several
years. He severed connection with it
