A strange story relating TO one Of the
three replicas painted by Gilbert Stuart
from his Lansdowne" portrait OF
Washington appears I'M late number of
Black and White. The fortunes of the
original portrait and two of the replicas,
have always been easy TO trace. But the
third copy was lost sight of many years
ago. 1t was originally made for Gard
ner Baker of New York. In l19S he
took il TO Boston to exhibit it there, died
of yellow fever, and left the picture 70
Mr.. Laing in settlement of adebt. When
the Presidents house at Washington
was being put in order Laing sold the
portrait 10 the committee having the
matter Of decoration in charge. He
gave il 10 painter named Winstanley,
to deliver. Winstanley delivered in
stead a copy Of the portrait, painted by
himself. Stuart detected the fraud and
denounced it, but Winstanley and the
original portrait had both disappeared.
The mystery promises TO be cleared
up. The portrait is believed TO be in the
possession of William Burrows, pic
ture dealer at Douglas, Isle of Man. AT
Mount Vernon, in that island, recently q
Mrs. Harrison died. She was the daugh-
ter of the Breed who owned Breed
Island in Boston harbor, and who settled
in the Isle of Man early in this century.
The death of Mrs. Harrison brought
about sale of her effects, and among
them was "a full-length portrait in OIL OF
George Washington, as well as a proof
of the Heath engraving OF the Lans-
downe portrait. Mr.. Burrows bought

Charles Frohman's Company I'm "Men and
Women"

The lovers of amusement in this city
will have an opportunity shortly Of seeing
Charles Frohman's excellent company in
MEN and Women" which has had long
run at the Baldwin Theater, San Francis
co. The name of Frohman alone is a
recommendation. That both the play and
players will create a strong impression
may be prophesied from the brilliant rec
ord which they have achieved in New
York, where "Men and Women" ran for
$50 nights. The play, Men and Women"
is from the pens of Henry &. De Mile and
David Beasco, authors of the Charity
Ball." and "The Wife" The latest work
of De Mile and Belasco is said to be the
most striking which they have yet pro-
duced; fact which is undoubtedly due, in
a large measure, to the representation
given il by Charles Frohman.
Mr.. Frohman's company numbers twen-
ty-three people, and no expense has been
saved to give the play correct, strong and
perfect Interpretation.

Hunt Says That His Horse Was Fright
ened by Electric Car.

On Aug 12 of last year George II. Hunt,
the contractor, was driving in the vicinity
of Elmwood and when near the Grace
Church cemetery his horse was frightened
and ran away, throwing him onto the
curbstone and ihjuring him to such an ex-
tent that he was unconscious for hours
and could not leave his bed for several
days. He claims that the horse was
frightened by the electric storage car
which the Union Railroad Company was
trying on the Elmwood route at that
time. He brought suit for a 600 damages
against the Union Railroad Company and
the case is on trial in the Supreme Court
before Judge Stiness to-day.

Queen Nata1ie,s Appeal.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Aug. Queen Ma
talie is making things very disagreeable
during the visit of her son, King Alex
ander. of Servia, to Russia. She has
made frantic and pitifnl appeal to the
czar and the czarina for permission to
see her child, as che calls him. She has
written to the czar: ap
In the name of the most merciful God,
1 Iimplore you to have pity on woman
SO sorely tried, and to permit me, poor
miserable woman, to clasp my son to my
bosom. 4
Il She begs that the czar, as her sons
godfather, TO order him to see his
mother. The czar is of course powerless
to interfere, even by suggestion, as King
Alexander Is in the care and custody of
the chief regent, M. Ristitch, who ac-
companies him.

The Capitol VS.. Pefrer.


) The Topeka Capital has a controversy
with Senator PETER on the subject of
Kansas mortgages and on the financial
condition of Kansas farmers. The sena-
tor has been giving a very lugubrious
account ofthese thingsin public speeches,
and also in his paper, the Kansas Farmer.
The Capital replies by making an ex-
animation of the old mortgages released
and the new ones recorded during the
past three months in thirty-eight coun-
ties of the state. The result of the ex-
animation is that $784 1852 of farm mort
gage Indebtedness has been paid off in
the thirty-eight counties in that inter
val, against $473, ,644 of such indebted
ness incurred, a net payment of $310, ,70S,
or 40 per cent. 81
An examination of mortgages on city
and town property in the same counties
showed difference of only 81 900 be-
tween new debts contracted and old ones
paid, from which it would appear that
the country mouse is doing better than
the city mouse in Kansas. These figures
are worth more than tons of speeches by
PETER or Simpson or Mrs. Leese, or any
body. Unless the CaDitaps figures can
be shown to be wrong, there is nothing
more to be said on the subject. The
case is closed.

NEwPoRT, Or, Aug. 1.-THE Oregon
Development company's steamer Will
amette Valley, Captain Patton master,
came in over the bar this morning at
s 80 o'clock, when the tide was but two
feet six inches above low water, drawing
fourteen feet six inches of water. She
had on board fifty-one passengers and a
very large cargo of freight. This is her
first trip since undergoing five weeks of
general repairs at the dry dock at San
Francisco, and she appears now like a
new boat. The government survey boat,
General Wright, has been here twice,
and each time reported only seventeen
feet of water at full tide, or nine feet at
low water, and right in the teeth of this
report an ocean steamer, drawing
fourteen feet and six inches OF water,
sails in over the bar without any trouble
whatever The people here think there
is some mighty big mistake behind these
reports and several able men are inves-
tigating the matter. Siuslaw is making
similar and louder complaints, and some
definite action will soon be taken

beach. Work on the government jetties
is progressing steadily and with better
effect than previously expected.

OMAHA, Aug. A special from Lin
coin, 'Neb., says Governor Thayer of
Nebraska, is in Detroit at the G.. A. r..
encampment, and Lieutenant-Governor
Majors whereabouts is not known. He
is not at Lincoln and is supposed to be
in Detroit, also, or out of the state at
least. Under the constitution, Presi-
dent of the Senate Pointer is acting gov
ernor in that case. Pointer, who is a
strong alliance man, slipped down
to Lincoln this afternoon and annouced
his intention of ascertaining whether
Majors was in the state. If he found he
was not he said he would assume the
duties of governor and run things until
Majors turned up. He said he would
probably call a special session of the
Legislature to- pass the maximum
freight bill. The republican officers at
Lincoln are panic-stricken and the wires
are kept hot calling on Thayer and
Majors to return.

is the manufacturers come to the con-
