PORTRAITS OF WASHINGTON.
One Lately Discovered Is Attributed to
Gilbert Stuart.

One Lately Discovered Is Attributed to
Gilbert Stuart.
A portrait of Gen. Washington, said
to have been painted by Gilbert Stuart,
and stolen nearly century ago, has
been found ON the Isle of Man by Will
liam A. Shaw, of Philadelphia. The
portrait is a replica in oil of the Lans-
downe portrait, full-length painting
, now owned by Lord Rosebery, and is
said to be in fine state of preserva-
ton. There is a singular story told
of this long-lost portrait. 1t appears
that it was painted for Gardner Baker,
of New York, an active member of the
Society of Tammany, which, at his sug-
gestion, established a museum which,
in 1898, was made over to Baker, who
full-length portrait of the great gen.
eral.
Three years later, it appears, Baker
went to Boston to exhibit the picture
and died there of yellow fever. A Mr..
Laing secured the picture in settlement
of a claim. Some time afterward a
committee, charged with furnishing the
PASSioShe uouSO a. washing OOhs
bought the picture and intrusted it
to painter named Winstanley to pack
and deliver. Winstanley, however, it
is stated, copied the Stuart in his own
style. delivered the copy and fled to
England with the original.
Afterward the picture came into the
possession of William Burrows, pic
ture dealer at Douglas, Isle of Man,
having been purchased by him at a
sale of the household effects at Mount
Vernon. The Lansdowne portrait was
the second portrait of Washington
painted from life by William Stuart.
The first portrait Stuart destroyed and
the third portrait is owned by the Bos-
ton athenaeum and is on exhibition in
the Boston museum of fine arts. Stuart
replicas are very frequently to be met
with and the athenaeum portrait is
the one Stuart seemed to find the most
profit in copying. Lord Rosebery ac-
quired the Lansdowne portrait in 1890
for 1000 guineas. 1t was painted in
1875 for Lord Shelburne, afterward mar
quis of Lansdowne, and after his death,
in 1905, it was sold for G $40. It was
afterward ratified off, when it was won
by Delaware Lewis, member of parlia-
ment for Davenport, and at his death
Lord Rosebery bought it. The identity
of the painter, Winstanley, who is said
to have stolen the replica and fled with
it to England, seems to be wrapped in
mystery. 1t could not have been the
celebrated portrait painter Hamlet
Winstanley, for he died five years after
Gilbert Stuart was born, and he is the
only Winstanley who has achieved the
eminence to be given place in bio
graphical dctionary.-N. Y. Times.

no objection to women doing mems
work if they get mems pay. They may
even keep the men in idleness, if they
please, like the laundresses.
How shall we make these promoters
understand the cut-throat policy OF
pushing women in everywhere, at half
or quarter the pay, and driving the men
abroad? However, there are other and
more satisfactory features about this
report.

FOR GOOD EATING.s SAKE.

The Unique Systom Adopted by Railroad
Company to Have Its Dining Car Service
Up to the Best.
The following is an extract from the Lo-
connective Engineer of New York city, O pa
per OF recognized authority in technical rail-
road matters:
''In connection with the through train
service between Chicago, Buffalo, New
York and Boston, the Nickel Plate Railroad
run their own eating cars, and they have
adopted rather unique manner OF keeping
the men in charge of the cars up to the
mark. There is grievance committee con-
sisting of two superintendents, the superin-
tendent Of motive power, the regular trav-
cling representatives, and the general car
inspector, who have authority to take q
meal in the cars at any time and report on
anything they find wrong. These officers
make life u burden to the superintendent Of
the dining cars. There is a good deal Of
patronizing the cars find that they never
have reason to complain Of the victuals be-
ing cold or out of season.
"The dining car service on the trains Of
the Nickel Plate Rsilroad is something that
strikes the traveller as approaching perfec-
ton. With the system IN force referred to,
there is not much room for a kick from
anybody"
In conjunction with the above article we
feel justified in adding our compliments to

quent trips from Chicago to New York city
and Boston.
While travelling in one Of the day coaches
on little jaunt from o local station into
Buffalo, was impressed by the cleanliness
OF the car. The secret was soon divulged.
Along came colored porter in uniform,
dust cloth and brush in hand, and with q
polish here and wipe there, the seats, win
dow stills and floor were kept scrupulously
clean.
The schedules Of their fast trains are con-
venient and the sleeping cars placed in the
regular daily service are Of the most luxuri-
ant type of modern car construction. Solid
trains are run between Chicago, Buffalo and
New York city and through sleepers to
Boston.
A fact worthy Of note yet remains to be
pointed out to the readers of this journal,
which, perhaps, has not come to the notice of
many. Rates are offered between the same
points lower than those quoted by COMPETE
tors Of the Nickel Plate Road and from my
experience their passenger facilities are ex-
celled by none. A. POINTER.

had created a sensation. There, III an
swer to numberless questions asked by
their mother, they told part OF the
story Of their ride. They said nothing
about hearing Timoleon talk, for they
knew that not even their grandfather
would believe that part of their story.
But they told all about the ride-how
swiftly and easily the horse went, and
how gentle he was. Buster John was
of course quite hero, and Sweetest
Susan shared all the honors with him.
The children's mother had more than
half a mind to read them q lecture, but
the white-haired grandfather protest
ed against this. He said the youngsters
were perfectly safe in Aaron's care. He
declared he didn't want to see the boys
play the part of girls, nor girls act like
dolls. Then he began to talk about lit
tie Crochet, who had been so fond OF
Aaron. 1T was curious to the children
to hear the white-haired grandfather
talk Of their uncle whom they had
never SEEM as though he were little
boy.
1T seems but yesterday" said the
old gentleman, with a sigh that ended
in smile. THAT little Crochet was
hobbling through the house on his
crutches, or scampering about the
neighborhood on the gray pony. But
the gray pony is grazing out there in
the orchard and Little Crochet has
been dead these fifteen years. If he
were alive now he would be twenty
nine years Old"
The old gentleman fell to musing and
sat silent for a little while. Then he
went on, as if talking to himself:
And / am seventy-three and Aaron
is forty, and, let me see, the pony is
eighteen, and Timoleon seventeen. All
getting old.
"Uncle Crochet wasn't always Grip
Pied was he grandfather" asked
Sweetest Susan.
"Oh, no, replied the old gentleman.
Until he was seven years old he was as
healthy q child as / ever saw. Then
he was suddenly taken i'll and lay III
his bed for months. After that he was
never able to walk without crutches.
Twenty years oldl Why, he'd be

tie boy. remember" the grandfather

sighed the grandfather. "Ah, what a
magnificent creature he isl What a
pity he is penned on this plantation.
Three times around the circle limo
leon galIoped, and then wheeled to-
ward the gate that led to the stable
lot. The children waved mock fare
well to the still astonished spectators,
who, standing on the yeranda, heard
Timoleon go gathering to the rear OF
the house.
The mother recovering from her
fright. which was serious, became very
angry, and this was not serious at all.
Z ''That is Aaron's work." she cried,
"and the children shall never go about
him any more"
Aaron will thank you, if you'll stick
to your word" / bought Aaron fifteen
years ago, and ] have never had occa-
sion to undo anything he has ever done.
] owe him a debt of gratitude that |

thousand years"
Il know, father know, replied the
cnildren's mother, more gently. But
he gave me a terrible fright just now .
Timoleon galloped to his stable and
stood there waiting for Aaron. Sweet
est Susan, holding to Buster Johns
hand, slid to the ground, and then
Buster John followed suit.
''You might take the halter off, lit

his head so that the youngster could
unbuckle the strap. Then the horse be-

| teeth. Then the blanket was removed
and the grandson Of Abdallah stretch
ed himself on the grass and had good
wallow. After that Aaron rubbed him
off thoroughly, gave him bait of oats
and, while ne ate, went over his silky
coat with currycomb and brush
whistling all the while in peculiar
way.

continued, becoming reminiscent
when he wanted me to buy Aaron
From the very first, the two had a
fancy to each other. Aaron came from
Virginia in a spectators caravan lie
became so unmanageable that he had
to be sold. Little Crochet begged me
to buy him, but / stood joking with the
little fellow, and before / knew it our
neighbor across the creek had bought
him"
"Old Mr. Gossett?' inquired Buster
John.
Yes replied the grandfather Mr..
Gossctt bought Aaron. Little Crochet
was so distressed about THAT / offer
ed Mr. Gossett half as much more for
Aaron than he had given. But he re
fused 1t. Then ] offered twice as much,
and he refused that, and / didn't feel
able TO give any more"
"Why wouldn't Mr.. Gossett sell
Aaron?" asked Buster John. I've
heard he's very fond of money"
Hes queer man" responded the
grandfather; ''hard in some things and
clever enough in others. He had heard
the Spectator say that Aaron was q
very dangerous character, and so Mr..
Gosset declared that ne was going to
tame him. Gossett was much young
err man than he is now, and about as
reckless as any one in the country.
i remember he said something in a
light way that made little Crochet
angry, and the lad spurred the gray
pony at him and would have rode him
down but for me"
''Was he riding the gray pony, grand
father?" asked Buster John.
Yes" replied the old gentleman,
with a sigh; yes, the gray pony. 1t
was fifteen years ago, but it seems but
yesterday"
The grandfather was silent after
that and the children said no more.
i ney went to bed when bedtime came.
but not before Buster John had made
up his mind to rise bright and early the
next morning and cali on the gray
pony He told Sweetest Susan and
Drusilla Of his plan, and they said they
were anxious to 60, too. So it was
arranged that the house maid should
wake them when she came in from the
quarters.
