STEWART TO SHERMAN.
The Nevada Senator Replies to Remarks
Made BY the Ohio Senator.


WASHINGTON. Aug. 81. = Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, yesterday gave to
the press 50 O-word open letter to
Senator Sherman, as reply to his re-
cent speech opening the Ohio cam
paign at Coum bus. He accuses Sena-
tor Sherman with greatly misrepre-
senting him. and in quoting garbled ac-
counts from his (Stewart's) speech in
the senate. In way of explanation
Mr.. Stewart says he at that time mad
vertently used the term ''gold'' for
''spec.e," which was very common in
those days. Much space is taken to
show by quotation from speeches,
messages, etc; that the demonetiza-
ton of silver in the mint act was Sc
cretly accomplished.
Senator Sherman is challenged to
point to single word spoken in de-
bate, up to March 4, 1875. when his
stewards term expired, that related
to the decentralization of silver. SEN
ator Stewart, in conclusion, said the
facts convict Senator Sherman of hav-
ing imposed on the senate in having
secured the decentralization of silver.

 The condition of Mir Irvine,a at the Hop. kins house, Lakeside, was considered, last week, as being decidedly critical The shock of the fall from his horse has produced complication of diseases more t0 be feared than his bodily fractures He has, with his devoted wife, the sym. pathy of all friends, and it is truly to be hoped that he will survive all injuries from which he is now great sufferer. Thomas Renfrew was among the first of the farmers here to finish his having last week. He has a good supply of last years crop also for sale.

His pictures as he produces them are among the finest in the land, while his composition is refined and well nigh perfect. This latest play is sand to excell throughout his former one, al- though we can scarcely believe it till we have seen and heard.

 IL was the good fortune of reporter of THE BEE to pass short time in the studio of Misses Smith and Palmer, re- gently, when many beautiful pieces of work were seen. Miss Palmer has been taking up this past year, to some extent, the Dresden style of painting, which diff fers somewhat from the prevailing style. A magnificent piece was 8 tray decorated with.clusUers of grapes in different col- ors. The coloriDg was veryrich and del icate, and this was easily worth $50. Where the Dresden style of painting is used more firings are needed, These sla, dies are fortunate in having their own kiln, so they are not obliged to take the risk entailed in sending to New York. A very dainty piece was a jam jar, decorat- ed with ripe strawberries. The piece which perhaps the newspaper man ad- mired the most was nut dish on which m open chestnut burr with chestnuts and the dried blossoms furnished the subjects for decoration. It was true to nature and was a very choice piece of work. One of the most costly pieces was a chocolate tray done in the Dresden colors, Roses furnished the theme for the decora- tion, and they were rich and delicate, The sum of $75 would purchase this. A novelty are sleeve buttons, decorated with violets and forgetmenots, dainty butter plates covered with orchids. Misses Smith and Palmer generally close their season in Washington with a recep- ton and sale, which is always well at tended.

"gN9LE BEN NORRIS AND HIS GUESTS. "Uncle Ben" Norris, as usual, has a house full of summer guests. A few sea eons ago one of the guests at this hotel wrote poem on the house and had print ed in pamphlet form. Here are a few verses, which if printed in THE BEE in full would fill column: At Lakeview on the Waramaug, there lives
 one "Uncle Ben," Whose jolly and good natured t4ce, is known
 ot many men,
 His home, all through the summer time, is
 made a great resort For families and quiet folks, and those who
 like good sport. His lady like and kindly wife. is always look
 ing out,
 In her quiet unobtrusive way, to see thai
 those about
 Are enjoying all the comforts, that home
 like tbis can give, For she well observes the adIge "Let those
 who live let live" The landlord when his work is slack, is gen
 eTally found around, Surrounded by "crowd ot pets" enough tC start a pound, He spins ris yarns and cracks his jokes, ant
 has a word for all, Then off he sturt5 with hand on back, when
 from the house they call. When June arrives the Jason starts, with ev
 cry thing in place, "Landl0rd Ben" is waiting, with a broad
 smile on his face, With horses sleek and well fed, he dashes al
 full speed
 So the station tor his boarders, 'let those who
 walk take heed" And now for a word at the finish, to all who
 peruse this rhyme, If you wish to enjoy your summer, where
 you're sure to have good tim0, Take trip to dear old Waramaug, where yor
 can do and dress as you will, And at "Lakeview" farm with our "UnclC
 Ben," Ot Fun" you can have your fill. Among those registered, thus far, this season, are the following; Mir and Mrs D. McGirr, Master Chester H. McGirr Mrs Robert Kirk, Miss Jennie Kirk, E. T.
