Her Gods of Honor.
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
AS regards all forms OF pee unia-
ny temptation, except one, the
writer would certainly say that
women are more honorable than
men. 1t may be only an in divid.
ual experience, but he has found
them much more reluctant to bor-
row; and when they have bor-
rowed, much more rigid, though
not, it is true, more punctual in re-
paying. The trusteeship Of 1000
years has, in fact, drilled them in
to an appreciation of the duty Of
paying, which the opposite sex can
hardly be said to possess, the alb
solutely upright man usually dis
playing his,uprightness by abstai =
ing even from requests for loans.
The woman who is lax in pecuniary
affairs is almost invariably with
out any principal at all. In this
case, too. the code presses sharply,
the woman who borrOws and pays
not again being held by her sisters
to be an offender with whom 1t is
safest to have as little intercourse
as possible. The single exception is
gaming. The writer never knew
female gamester, but he cannot re-
sist the universal testimony that
where she exists at all the woman
who games is less likely to pay up
than the man and that the opinion
of her own sex, though it would
not condone her offense, would
be far less than the Judge
ment of men on men for the same
delinquency. The woman, in fact,
cannot be reasoned out OF a con-
viction that a game is game and
nothing else, and that non-pay-
ment is rather a breach of social
convention than of laws without
which society could not continue
to exist. She does not see, as a
man does, the treachery involved
in failing to pay a bet, and there
fore, regarding it as a trif1e, is
trivial in her judgment OF its tur-
pitude. In the great majority of
grave cases, however, women are at
least as honorable as men, and help
with all their hearts to maintain
much severer code.

J. SEYMOUR THOMAS.
A Texas Artist Who Is Attracting
~ Local Attention.

Local Attention.
The New Orleans Times Demo-
crat, Of February 18th, says the
following about San Antonio boy,
whose parents are now residing In
this city:
considerable attention has been
attracted to a large oil portrait OF
Robert s. Day, on exhibition in
Tulane university. as a part OF the
art exhibit. 1t is almost life-size.
1t represents Mr.. Day in evening
dress, with the left forearm crossed
in front of the body. The remark
able likeness has led many inqui-
ries as to the history Of the artist
who painted it, Mr.. j. Seymour
Thomas.
He was born in Nacogdoches,
Texas, twenty-four years ago,
and early manifested evil
dence of his art. After spending
several years at the Art League OF
New York he went to Paris and
matrictlated in the Ecole BeauX
Arts where he won considerable
repute. His first picture, paintt d
when he was mere lad, was the
Alana, which was exhibited here
during the Cotton Centennial in
the Texas exhibit.
Mr.. Thomas first four pictures,
painted in Paris, were all received
by the Salon and hung during the
season of 1890, when he was twenty
one years old. In 1892 the Salon
exhibited his neutrality-suspicious. In
nocente," which excited much fav-
orable comment. The portrait Of
Mr.. Day was exhibited in the Salon
last year. ... .......... a...
The best of his paintings outside
of the Salon picture Of 1892 are
owned in this country. That Of
Mr.. Day, owned by him, is one Of
them. Among the others are "Re-
turn from the Woods" owned by
Mrs. Scott, OF Swanscott, near Chi
cago, where "Victime Innocente"
was exhibited during the Worlds
Fair, and Thistle Down." owned
by Mrs. E.:Clapp, OF this city. The
latter, with two paintings entitled
lilac st. Pierre" and Garden Of
Tuileries," are on exhibition beside
the Day portrait at Tulane. In
the Texas exhibit at Chicago was
a second exhibit OF Mr..
Thomas works, a picture Of Gen.
Houston at the battle Of San Jacin-
to, in which engagement Mr..
Thomas maternal grandfather
figured prominently. Mr.. Thomas
is now painting portrait of Mrs.
Robert Mote, Of this city, for the
Salon of 1894.
The artist recently married Miss
Helen Haskell, who is also an ar
tist. He is slender and small in
stature. a typical artist in appear
ance and a gentleman Of the ut
most refinement.

PENSIONS OF WIDOWS.
Only Those in Need of Them Will Receive
Them Hereafter.

Only Those in Need of Them Will Receive
Them Hereafter.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The pension
bureau viii hereafteK- refuse PENSIONS
to widows whose income from other
sources affords them comfortable sur
port. This policy is provided for in a
ruling of Assistant Secretary Reynolds,
based on the June 81, 1890, act. In b.,
decision the assistant secretary says:
'It was evidently the intention of
congress to supplement the widows
means of support from her own labor,
and all other sources, by the pension,
only when such means were insult:
felent for her comfortable sup
port. Under ordinary circumstances,
without intending to lay down an arbi-
trary and infexible rule when widow
is shown to have an income consider
ably in excess of the pension provided
by the third section of the act, from
SOURCES independent of her daily labor,
she does not occupy a pensionable
status hereunder
Judge Reynolds also held in the case
of James Koating, Fifteenth regiment,
United States infantry, that where
soldier died before final action by the
bureau Of pensions and his claim had
been subsequently rejected, the attor-
ney of record has no legal right to ap-
peal from such rejection without first
obtaining from the widow of the soldier
a power of attorney to continue its
prosecution. ="
