OUR GOVERNORS.
PORTRAITS 1T STATE HOUSE
WANTED FOR THE WORLDS FAIR.
Some OF Them Are owned by the State
and Some Are Given In Trust-Colone.
Wyman Interested.

The request has been made for the loan
Of certain of the oil portraits of the past
governors at the state house to
be used to decorate the Rhode
Island building at the Worlds
fair. Commissioner W vman has con-
ferred with Secretary Utter about the
matter and a resolution nas been drawn
which IL passed will give to Colonel Wy
man and Secretary Utter the authority to
select such AZ they may deem most appro /.
pirate and forward them to Chicago.
A que stion has arisen about the right
OF tie state to loan the portraits or allow
them TO 20 out OF the state house, as
some of them are merely placed in the
building by the relatives OF the gov
ernors. This is true in some instances,
but the state owns some OF them aud
while the others have not cen exactly
made over to the st to by deed OF gift,
there is no probabiiit that the descend
an Of the departed governors would
have any objections or will ever call for
tre portraits.
There are about twenty of these por-
traits, including thai OF William Cod
dingtoD, the first governor OF the colony,
the Wantons, John, William aud Jos. phi.
SIR Edmund Andros, william Feun.r,
Henry Anthony, General Burnside and
others whuse names are familiar in the
history of Rhode Island.
III it could be arranged so that some of
these portraits could adorn the walls of
the Rhode Island state building at the
fair grounds, the interior OF the building
would present a homelike appearance TO
a Rhode Islanders who visit it, and at
the same time they would id very much
TO the decorations as works of art.
Tue original charter of The colony has
been phot ,graphed. so that a good copy
of 1t will lie on exhibition at the fair.
The charter is encased in an oak frame
aud is about feet long by pa feet wideS
The copy will be muchireduced but will
be large enough to give good idea Of
the original, as IL was photographed In.
three sections.

T, sou was the act that when apprised of
the charges against hin he returned
from Chicago, where he had zone on
Worlds fair business ana announced his
willingness to stahd trial for any aud all
charges
At Central Fails he has borne good
reputation, and the testimony OF the
post-oilice author ties seemed TO indicate
that they believe in his innocence.
The deieuse began It's ex nn alton his
afternoon aud the result b ds fair to be
fa hithy sensational nature.
The d, feUdant claims that il a trumped-
up charge, conceived TOR the purpose OF
gratifying spite held by S.ptnian
against Mardiroson's br Jthe..
He claims that Stepauinn has threat
eDed TO square matters by njurinx him,
and that this charge is Tia, UuScome.
