RENOWNED ARTISTS.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. McClOSkey,
the Famous Portrait
Paint0Toc

Mr.. and Mrs. William J. McCloskey,
the great American portrait painters,
who have become famous on the Con-
| tinent by reason of the laudatory COM
ments of the London and Partisan
art critics, are birds of passage in this
city. They arrived here less than a
month ago, and their studio at 72S
Montgomery street is already the
Mecca toward which the artists and
connoisseurs in art make pilgrimage.
Their residence is at the Palace Hotel.
Il could count on the fingers of my
hand the letters l have given as in
dorsements of the work of artists at
home or abroad" said the great
Gerome.
The McCloskeys are in possession
of one of these letters, framed and
rightfully cherished as a certificate of
extraordinary merit from j. l..
Gerome, the best-known art critic and
artist of the present generation.
The McCloskeys have left their Pari-
sian home and friends for the winter
only. Mr.. McCloskey's health has
been very poor and the rigors of win
ter in Paris was forbidden by his
physicians.
These two artists usually work to-
gether on the same subject, and such
critics as Sigmund Cauffman, Paris
correspondent for the Philadelphia
Press, and Charles Yrate of the Paris
Figaro have said that they more
than paint, that they model. This
Endorsement Of the work of American
artists was the tribute paid them when
the doors of the Salon. the hinges of
which are so hard to yield to foreign
ers, were thrown wide open to them,

A RISING NATIVE SON.
Success Of Frank D. Ryan in Po-
litical and FPatepnaI Lines,

Ht1cal and FPatePnal Lines.
Hon. Frank d. Ryan of Sacramento
is probably one of the best known pub
lie men in California who represent the
younger class of prominent politicians.
He is native son of the State, having
been born in the city which has be-
slowed upon him many honors, and in
return has received honorable and able
service during the long period of his
public career. AS District Attorney of
sacramento County he has been par
ticularly successful and is to-day rec
ognized as one of the best public pros
ecutors in the State.
His prominence in politics has been
due to his answering fidelity to the
party which has honored him, and on
more than one occasion has he stump
ed the State in the interest of the Re-
publican State and National ticket.
In addition to his duties as District
Attorney he has found it possible to
devote sufficient amount of his time
to the preservation of a lucrative pri-
vate practice and stands to-day at the
head of the Sacramento bar as sound
and profound counselor on all matters
involving legal controversy
Mr.. Ryan is one of the incorporators
of the Grand Parlor of the Native Sons
of the Golden West, and since the or
ganization he has been most promi-
nent in all matters directed to the ad-
vancement and good of the order. In
appreciation of his untiring service in
this regard the delegates to one of the
early Grand Parlors elected him grand
president.
In addition to his prominence in So
cial and political circles he has found
time to devote himself to the interests
of the National Guard and has held
some very distinguished and honora-
BILE commissions in the military affairs
Of California. He is a man of educa-
ton, having received a collegiate mas
tership and subsequently teaching
school in one of the northern counties
of the State. He was married in the
city of his birth in the fall of 1888 to
Miss Ella Boutwell,, the daughter of S.
A. Boutwell,, California pioneer. Mr..
Ryan has become well known through
out the State by reason of his frequent
participation as secretary at the as
semblage of great bodies. His voice
has a wonderful strength and clearness
which enables him to be heard dis
tinctly in the most remote quarters of
any large hall.
Taking the public and private life of
Frank d. Ryan as a. whole it reflects
credit upon the people who have re-
posed great trusts in him and fairly
exemplifies the strength and purity of
character of those sons of pioneers
and patriots who first found this glo-
rious State and then peopled it with
a progeny who first having pure
blood have kept it pure

The Popocratic committee of Ohio, pre-
sumably at the expense of John r, Nc
Lean, OF the District of Columbia, who
wants to succeed Mr.. Hanna, of Ohio, as
senator from that state. has In clrcula-
ton thousands of fac smile copies OF the
check given by Secretary Charles Dick
TO Hugo Pryor, a Popullst, for the sum Of
twenty-five dollars This check, It will
be remembered, figured in the Populist
state convention recently, and was used
as the basis of charges that Secretary
Dick, Of the national Republican COM
mlttee. had bribed Mr. Pryor to prevent
a fusion between the Populists and DEM
ocrats in the present state campaign.
Notwithstanding the whole matter was
laid bare at the time. It turning out that
the twenty-five dollars was personal
loan made by Mr., Dick to Mr.. Pryor, at
the latter's solicitation, and was to be
paid back, the check Is now being made
to do duty for the purpose of blackenlng
Mr.. Dicks character, and to sustain the
absurd charge that the national Repub-
lican committee had expected to accom-
plish the work of hriblng an entire state
convention with the insignificant sum Of
twenty FIVE dollars.
Mr.. Pryor was not delegate to the
Popullst convention, and could scarcely

ture, and there Is a better feeling that
the promised prosperity Is gaining
ground every day than there has been
for more than three years past, The way
to help It along is to give 1t boost with
few cheering words.
Improvement in the manufacturing
and commercial circles cannot come sud
denly, but II is manlfesting itself more
clearly each day. AS to wages the ex-
perience of history and the laws OF
trade are that wages are the first to fall
in times of depression and the last to rise
on the return OF good times. This is un-
fortunate, but II is inevitable and cannot
be helped. In the meantime, throw aside
pessimlsm and cultivate optimism. Then
the good things which the Register and
all of us want for Wheeling will come In
the very nature OF things,

DO We hear second to the motlon?-
Register,
Certainly, we heartily second the mo-
tion, and while our neighbor Is in the
humnr of abandoning the pessImlstc
course 1t has been pursuing, 1t might
contribute a little to the encouragement
Of trade by inspiring come confidence
and hope in the public, instead OF con-
tIHgaily preaching the doctrine Of dis
conten, and stirring up class prejudice
and holding out gloomy hopes for the
future for a partican purpose.
Calamity walls and pesslmlstic bowls
never lneplred the spirit of progress in
any community. To advise the estab-
llshment OF new Industries and the up
building of old ones on one day, and to
indulge in a partisan wall against the
capital which iB expected to accomplish
these things on the next. never increased
trade nor encouraged Investment. Again,
the 1ntolllgencer heartily seconds the
motion. BY all means, lets stir up
things little" but let's begin by lnspIr-
ing hope and courage and confidence,
and then let's show our faith by our
works,
