MINIATURE OF WASHINGTON.

painted by Ramage, an Irish miniature
painter. Of New York, at that time for
Mrs. Washington, from whom Betty
Washington, afterward Mrs. Betty
Lewis, had it. She in turn left it TO her
granddadg Otwayana Carter, who
married DR.. w. o. Owen, of Lynchburg.
He left this portrait, together with
other relics of Washington, similarly in
herited, TO Jenny Woodville Latham, Of
LYnchburg, who marred Thomas S.
Stabler, the father Of Mr.. Harry S.
Stabler, the present owner Of the relic.
This miniature is In a time-worn case
generally oval in form. In the back OF
it is lock Of Washington's hair. The
portrait has never been exhibited be-
fore outside Of Lynchburg. 1t is
beautiful piece OF work, and even under
a magnifying glass bears the closest in
spection. The locket holding the miu-
nature and the lock OF hair Is something
more than two inches in length. Wash
ington is painted in the full uniform Of
a general, with epaulets. On his breast
is a badge of the Order Of the Cincinnati.
A high white stock surround the neck,
and the tie OF white lace falls softly
from the throat, filling the space left
open by the unbuttoned waistcoat. The
carmines of the flesh and the blue and
buff of the uniform are wonderfully
fresh and clear against clouded back
ground Of blended green and blue. In
a magazine article on the PORTRAITS OF
Washington" published few years
ago, Mr.. Charles Henry Hart speaks OF
this miniature by Ramage, and remarks
that ''all trace Of this interesting por-
trait is unfortunately lost" Since that
time the miniature has been submitted
TO his inspection and pronounced by him
10 be the original for which Washing
ton sat.
The knee buckles which Mr.. Stabler
has are interesting relics. They are OF
open work, with blue enamel decoration
and set all around with brilliants. Mr..
Stabler also has a lamp, Pompeiian in
form, with handles and a round wick.
1t is Of silver upon copper, and very
graceful In form. Still another relic is
a needle book covered with piece OF
Martha Washington's so-called "second
day dress Of dark red satin. and within
is a piece Of Martha Washington's we'd
ding dress OF white silver brocade.

Protecting the Birds.

The Society for the Protection OF
Birds IS making progress in England
under the leadership OF the Duchess OF
Portland. From its Investigations the
public learns that in the London ware
houses, the great market to which the
birds OF the world are sent, you can
walk ankle deep In bird skins and see
them piled shoulder high on each side
Of you. One dealer is said TO have re-
ceived as single consignment $4,000
dead humming birds. These birds are
slain during the mating season, when
in the trlumphs OF love the hues OF the
beautiful birds burn with most intense
splendor. They are skinned alive, be-
cause it Is only by SHINING while the
body still quivers and the blood is hot
the the full vividness OF color Is pre-
served for the bonnets OF womanhood.

The Cordage Trust Next.

CHICAGO, March 5.-The powerful
machinery OF the government, which
worked so well in securing indictments
against the Whisky Trust officials, has
now been set in motion against the
Cordage Trust, which has been posting
prices with q high hand lately. Mr..
Charles NJ. Horton, the representative
Of the department OF justice, who swore
out the warrants for the arrest OF Pres
ldent Greenhut and other Whisky Trust
officials last week, has been inyestigat-
ing the methods OF the Corcage Trust
in this city for several days. The fact.
which Mr.. Horton has secured Will
probably be laid before the Federal
Grand Jury at Boston, New YORK or
Philadelphia. What evidence MT. nor
ton secured while ia Chicago Is not
known.

TIE SEALING QUESTION.

The New York Chimes" Correspondent
Thinks the situation One OF Gravity
New York, March 5.-The Times
Washington correspondent regards the
sealing problem quite gravely, telegraph
ing his paper thus: "If the London dis
match to-day touching the sealing ques-
lion in the Boring sea is authentic, and
the State Department considers it prob
ably true. then it can be said on excel
lent authority that the fur seal rocker
les of our Government in the Prlolloi
Islands are doomed to complete annlhl-
lation next season.
at is stated that Lord Salisbury re-
fuses TO renew the new mOduS uCeldt
pending the arbitration proceedings,
but will agree to a new limitation OF
some thirty miles around the Islands.
This is a manifest absurdity on It's race.
Nothing in the way OF protection Tor
the nursing female seals on the Islands
which range in search OF food over a
radius of 200 and 800 miles In the sea
around the rookerieS and the peiaglc
sealer will find more females 100 miles
ont from the Islands in Boring Sea than
he will in thirty miles.
"If this is the decision OF Great Brit
ain then there is no use OF further at
tempts on our part TO save these inter.
ests from utter ruin. Congress should
at once take notice Of this result OF the
conference, which has been locked up
in stupid secrecy in the State Depart
ment during the last three weeks: A
bill should be promptly passed which
will repeal the restriction which now
preyents the slaughter or molestation Of
female seals on the Islands.
