IT WAS A GOOD SIGN.
But 1t Was Tackled on the Wrong
Piece of Goods.

He had left school three months pre-
viouSly, and had been in search of a
situation where he could begin in a
very small way and gradually rise in
the esteem of everybody, as he had
noticed was the case in the biographies
he had read until he should have a
junior partnership thrust upon him and
finally be known as a merchant prince.
He had now formed a connection, as
they say, with a substantial retail fur
niture store. and was endeavoring
strenuously to merit the favor of his
employer What if he could rise at one
boundl The mere thought of it filled
him with an ecstacy that nerved him
into a tentative plunge.
He saw clearly that the house was too
conservative; it needed to be pushed.
The small display of goods at the door
should be placarded. Merely to men,
tion this would be small glory for him.
He must paint the signs himself, and
then when the surprising results had
been diclosed he would be called into
the office and duly recognized for his
far-seeing, merchant prince-like sagac-
ity. He dreamed of 1t that night In
his fervor he reached the store early.
The goods were arranged at the door.
One neatly lettered placard was pinned
with nervous hand to a roll of carpet.
He had seen the same sign at many
other stores.
His employer came and went several
times during the day without observ-
ing the sign. but Tom noticed that
passersby pointed at 1t. In the even
ing he was called to the door by the
proprietor.
do you know who put that on
there?"
Tom assumed an air of modesty. The
reward was already his. 1t was dang
ling before his eyes.
Yes. sir; / did"
well, don't let me catch you at
such tricks again. l suspected that
some street boys had done it, The idea

village deserves to rank with the
Tailor Of Mornoi in the National Gal
lery, with Franz Halls in Holland and
FelasqueZ in Madrid. The strength Of
the painter was never more thoroughly
revealed, and if it be permissible to
achiev ements, it is a very remarkable
advance on the daintiness of the Lit
tie White Girl or the Wonderfulness
CT the portrait of the Comte de Montes-
quieu. In Mr.. Whistler's art the pic
ture stands, so far, entirely alone. The
manly vigor of the smith, black-avised
and strong in the power of real labor,
looking the whole world in the face
with the calm dignity Of the honest
man, displays a character such as even
the most ardent admirer of the artist
could perhaps scarcely believe possible
from his brush" In complete con-
trast is the Little Rose Of Lyme Re-
gis'-a little girl-a little delicate, a
trifle sad, having her hair carelessly
over one shoulder" Judging from the
reproduction this in it's own exquisite
way is as much a new departure as the
Smith" Both pictures, it is said, are
likely to, find a home in America. Mr..
Whistler is busy, beside, with several
full-length portraits and other works
pastel, etching and lithographing be-
ing for the moment laid aside.

Creamed and Fricasseed Oysters.

Drain fifty oysters; wash by pouring
gradually over them a pitcher of cold
water; put them in g. saucepan: stir
carefully until they reach the boiling
point; drain again, this time saving the
liquor. Measure and add to the LIQUID
thus obtained sufficient milk to make
one pint. Put two tablespoonsful of
butter and two of flour in a saucepan:
add the oyster liquor and milk, and
stir constantly until boiling, then add
a teaspoonful of salt, quarter Of a
teaspoonful Of pepper and the oysters.
Heat gradually and serve. BY adding
the yolks of two eggs just before taking
the oysters from the fire and a table,
spoonful of chopped parsley after they
have been dished, you will have a
fricassee of oysters which may be serv-
ed on toast, or the plate may be gar
nished with squares of toast.-Mrs. S.
T. Rorer in Ladies' Home Journal.

THE FOUR SUNBEAMS.

Four little sunbeams came earthward one

Then meet in the eve at the west"
One sunbeam ran in a low cottage door,
Till baby laughed loud in his glee,
And chased with delight this strange
playmate SO bright,
The little hands grasplng in vain for
the light
That ever before them would flee
One crept to a couch where an invalid lay
And brought him a dream of the sweet
summer day,
Mt Its bird song. and beauty and bloom;
Till pain was forgotten and weary unrest.
And in fancy he roamed through the
scenes he loved best,
Far from the dim, darkened room.
One stole to the heart of a girl that was
sad,
And loved and caressed her until she was
Ana lifted her white face again
For love brings content to the lowliest
lot,
And finds something sweet in the drearl-
est spot,
And Hghtens all labor and pain.
And one, where little blind girl sat
alone,
Not sharing the mirth Of her playfellows,
Shone
On hands that were folded and pale,
And kissed the poor eyes that never had
known sight,
That never would gaze on the beautiful
light
Till angels had lifted the veil
At last, when the shadows Of evening
were failing,
And the sun, their great father, his chill

-Four sunbeams sped into the west.
All said: I'VE have found that in seek

Then softly they sank to their rest.

GOV. BUSHNELL'S POSITION
Republicans Gratifed That He Will Aupoint
Mr.. Hanna.

Republicans in. Congress express great
satisfaction at the announcement by Gov
ernor Bushnell that he will appoint Mr.
Hanna to the Senate to succeed Mr. Sher-
man This satisfaction is not altogether
because of general preference for Mr.
mamma above all others among republicans
outside the state of Ohio, but because of
the relief it brings from the anxiety lest
lack of harmony among the republicans in
the state would cost them the legislature
next fall.
The feeling is now that the republicans of
Ohio will get together and hold the state
solldly against all democratic assaults.
Representative Grosveaor of Ohio said to
Star reporter today.
I'm making this announcement CT his in
tention to appoint Mr.. Hanna Governor
Bushnell has yielded TO public sentiment
In Ohio. There was a general demand
among republicans in Ohio Cor Mr.. Han
mas appointment. Eighty or eighty-five
newspapers, about all the republican pa
pers of consequence in the state, strongly
urged the appointment
THE county conventions preliminary to
the primaries were declaring for Mr.. Han
ma. Political clubs were changing their
names to adopt the name of NJ. A. Hanna.
Mckinley clubs were changed to Hanna
clubs, and among Gov. Bushnelrs sup
porters there was a strong sentiment in
favor of the appointment. The strongest
Bushnell forces in Hamilton county were
for Mr.. Hanna.
Gov. Bushnell has announced that ne will
do what the people of Ohio want him to do.
The result will be that Gov. Bushnell will
be reelected governor; we will carry the
legislature next fall. and Mr.. Hanna will
be elected to the United States Senate for
another six years. This announcement by
Gov. Bushnell blasts the hopes of the DEM
ocrats. who thought they might get the
next legislature through lack of harmony
among republicans. Mr.. Hanna will be a
credit to the state in the Senate. His
presence there will raise the average Of
ability in that body"

TRIAL OF THE Case OF JOHN D. HART
Chief Witness for the Government
Assailed.
TESTIMONY OF COWLEY

PHILADELPHIA. February 2o--In the
United States district court today John F.
Lewis. counsel for John d. Hart, who is
charged with fitting out a filibustering ex-
pedition against the Spanish government
continued his argument Mr. Lewis devot-
eG the greater part of his address to the
testimony of Cowley, whom he character
lied as the star witness for the govern
ment- He referred particularly to that por-
tion of Cowley's testimony In which the
latter had testified that three stowaways
had been forcibly taken from the Laurada
and placed on the Dauntless-
MIR. Lewis said the defense had shown by
the admission of the witness testi-
mony that he is a liar, had been in Jail so
many times that he could not enumerate
them, and guilty of almost every crime in
criminal annals. Yet the government had
selected him as their chief witness. First
Mate Rand of the Laurada had sworn for
the government that the Stowaways had
not been forced on the Dauntless. Here
was the testimony of a witness whose char
aCter was unimpeached and Unimpeacha BILE
Was the liberty of an American citizen to
be taken from him by the testimony of a
confirmed liar?
Counsel argued that the eighteen men
who We're put aboard the Laurada off Bar
Tegat had gone on board to assist in un-
the governments own witnesses, returned
to the Laurada after the expedition had
landed He said there was no law to pre-
vent the shipment OF arms and ammunition
to Cuba. The Laurada had carried 1890
rifles
In the name of God" he said, how could
eighteen men carry 5000 rifles and 10000
rounds of ammunition
The defense would not attempt to deny
that the Laurada had carried arms to the
Cubans- But whoever heard of military

MIR. DAVIS NOMINATION.,
Reported FavOrably by n Larger Ma
jOrity Than Before.


A full committee meeting of the Senate.
committee on the judiciary was held this
morning. when the nomination of Henry T.
Davis to be United States attorney for the
District of Columbia was considered IN
view of additional testimony that has been
taken since its recommttal TO the COM
mittee. and the full committee, by a de-
c.sive vote, decided upon a favorable report
to the Senate.
There We're present when the committee
met Senators Hoar, charm an; Teller Platt
Davis, Clark, Villas, Hill and Lindsay. Mr.
Daniel and Mr.. Thurston arrived at the
committee room at the close of the meeting
Mr.. Mitchell of Oregon, Mr.. Pugh and Mr.
George were not present, the latter having
gone 10 his home in MisSiSSi ippi to recupIr-
ate his health. The meeting did not last
over half an hour. Upon calling the meet
iEg TO order Senator Hoar, who, In con-
junction with Senator HILL had Investiga-
ted the charges that haG been preferred
against Mr.. Davis, made their report to the
committee There were no extended argu-
nents entered into, but the substance of
TIE report of the subcommittee was to Cx-
cnerate Mr.. Davis of any improper conduit
1t was remarked that the witnesses VINO
made the charges against Mr.. Davis in
their own testimony practically exonerated
him. and all the other witnesses who had
been called in the case had but added to
tnat eXCneratlOn. There is no doubt that
Mr.. Davis was strengthened in his position
before the committee by the personal
charges that have been made against him
number of members of the committee
looked upon a number of these charges as
being the result of spitework and the result
Is tEat Mr.. Davis was stronger in the COM
mittee than before ;ney We're made His
nomination was reported favorabiy by a
larger majority than before.
The fact is those senator's who were op-
posed TO the confirmation of Mr.. Davis gave
Up the fight in the committee. The two
main opponents to his confirmation Sena-
tors PuSb and Daniel, did not even take the
trouble to be present at the committee
meeting, and the absence Of Senators Thurs
ten. George and Mitchell practically left
the committee this morning in the hands Of
Mr. Davis One senator, who is strongly
opposed 10 the confirmation, in speaking to
d Star reporter today, said:
What was the use of our being present i?
The subcommittee that had this investixa-
tion In charge were strong friends of Mr.
Davis and have both worked for his con-
1rmation. But the fact that the committee
report is again favorable to N.r. Davis does
not mean that he is going to be confirmed
In the Senate. The more decisive vote given
Mr- Davis by the committee simply resul; s
from the fact that those opposed to him
were not present at the meeting. There was
no special use Of being present, but the cp-
position to his confirmation will be lust
as strong as ever

Is that he had considerable diplornafic ex

the risk OF such surprises as have occurred

The Globe expresses the opinion that Col
Hay will not be capable of the MISTAKES
which American ministers have sometimes
made simply from lack of experience and
adds: 1T Is not in any sense a machine
