Reprinted from the Seattle Post Intelligencer, April II. 1884. l There's something in the throb of the engine of ship that is the very pulse of life:
 Captain Thomas Lyle, veteran Of Puget Sound shipping days, re- marked so yesterday. He's sev- enty-two years old today.

Washington is wondering whether
Maryland's new Senator, George L.

as President Roosevelt's personal
spokesman in the Senate.
Radcliffe, a schoolmaster who for
sock teaching for finance many years
ago and who now has transferred to
politics, probably will be the closest
personal friend of the President in
the Senate at the next session of
Congress.
He has had long business associa-

Associated in Business.
The two became associated after
Roosevelt's unsuccessful race for the
vice presidency in 1920. The future
President then became a vice presi-
dent Of the Fidelity g. Deposit Co. of
Baltimore, in charge of the company's
business in New York. Radcliffe, as
first vice president of the company,
was his superior.
The late Van-Lear Black of Balti-
more, chairman of the company, is
credited with bringing Mr.. Roosevelt
into the Baltimore concern. His work
ceased for time after he was stricken
with infantile paralysis. During this
period Mr.. Radcliffe was frequently

He gradually resumed his duties as
he recuperated and devoted the most

100000 MUSKRAT
SEASON ASSURED
Delmarva Peninsula Trappers But
Slightly Worse Of Than
Last Year.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
CHESTERTOWN, Md, December
22.-This muskrat season, which
opened in Delaware December l and
will start in Maryland January !, will
be only slightly less profitable than
that of last year, which was the best
in the last decade. Morgan Bennett,
local buyer of hides, said yesterday
following tour of the marsh areas of
the Delmarva Peninsula.
He declared that probably more
than 100000 In cash will pass into
the hands Of Delmarva Peninsula
trappers before the close of the sea-
son in Delaware on March 20 and in
Eastern Maryland March Is. The
1000 acres of marsh land at Della
ware City and between that point and
Port Penn Is believed to be the most
prolific source Of rats" south Of New
York City.
Many city furriers and Hudson
seal'' coat manufacturers send their
own agents to bargain directly with
the trappers. Here trappers bring
their pelts and sell in the open market
in one of the public squares.
Bennett believes sharp variation In
Delaware tides caused destruction of
some baby muskrats during last Win
ter. The same condition does not
exist in Maryland.
