pearance. They were contracted for dur
ing the administration of Andrew Jackson,
and went in as a job lot at $500 apiece.
They are portraits of John Adams, John
@. Adams, James Monroe, James Madison
and Martin Van Buren,. Later on were
added, in the same style with the same
style of frame, pictures of William Henry
Harrison and old Zachary Taylor. Por-
traits OF old General Taylor are very rare,
and this is even more of rarity because it
pictures him in the uniform of q major
general Of the day. His stern face is that
of an Indian chief, and his complexion is
equally as coppery. In the same cabinet
room is another portrait OF Jefferson which
is said to be Stuart, but of that there is
great doubt. The portrait was found some
years ago in England and presented to the
White House by British nobleman.
The ladies of the presidential families
are not as well represented in the gallery
of portraits as they should be. There is
small picture in the Green parlor of Mrs.
Tyler, painted when she was Miss Julia
Gardner, before she became the wife of the
president. 1t represents a lady of exquisite
form but not strikingly beautiful face.
People who remember that but few years
ago the aged Mrs Tyler died an inmate OF
the Louise Home for INDECENT Ladies can
not but look upon this picture with feel
ing of sadness.
In the same Green parlor and on another
panel hangs the portrait of Mrs. James X.
Polk when that lady was about thirty
years old. 1t is the picture OF a rather
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1891-07-04

Two of the finest portraits are those of
Grant and Garfield, painted in 1882 by G..
L. Andrews, instructor of art in the Cor
coran gallery. Congress paid 81 900 each
for them. They are hung side by side in
the corridor, with a small and very indif-
ferent portrait of "Old Hickory" between
them. The two have gorgeous gilt frames.
On the same side of the corridor are por-
traits of Franklin Pierce, John Tyler and
James X. Polk. These were all painted in
1854, and by various artists-none of ma
tional or enduring fame. 1t is greatly
feared that one or two of them are daubs.
One of the most modest of the portraits,
both in size and form, is that of Ruther-
ford B. Hayes. 1t is not only modest, but
it fills very modest niche over the door
leading from the main corridor to the front
vestibule- Congress only paid 500 for that
picture.
The pictures which are most familiar to
the public eye are four mighty canvases
that hang in the great East room. They
are Of uniform size and each is a full length
figure. They are George Washington and
Martha Washington, painted years ago by
Stuart; and Abraham Lincoln and Thomas
Jefferson, the latter the work of blr. An
drews, Of the CorcorsD gallery. The pic
ture OF Washington Is much criticised as a
likeness. The artist has given tie father
OF his country cigar store Indian stiffness
Of figure and ''woodeuy" face.
The portrait of Martha Washington is
particularly striking because of its bril-
liant coloring. The good Martha rs de
picted in full court costume-powdered
hair, stomacher, white papniers over
scarlet petticoat. Martha has a fearful
scowl on her face, and great many people
who look at the picture think that perhaps
unwrittep history, TO the effect that Mar
tina was something of q shrew, may be cor
rect. The picture Of Mr.. Lincoln does not
90 that statesman justice. IL is a picture
OF Lincoln when he was forty years old
rather than picture OF him as president
The picture Of Thomas Jefferson, by Mr..
Andrews, Is also criticised because OF its
STACEY look.
But, perhaps, of all the White House col
lection OF portraits tie most conspicuous
and striking is that Of Chester A Arthur.
This picture was painted while Mr.. Arthur
was still president He chose u from
variety Of sketches submitted 20 him. Il

around. The fifth passenger, woman,
fell forward in her fright. One of the
crew dashed into the receding water,
seized her and struggled with her in his
arms to the shore. Few noted the deed
in the general activity and excitement,
but Nellie saw it, for the man with the
living burden was Henry Martin. Not
stopping at the beach, he plunged off
through the fog and across the sands
toward the station, half mile away.
Henry" called Nellie, as he struggled
along, but his form was already dim n
the fog, and if he heard her he did not
reply She would have followed but
that like others she was called upon tc
help care for the rescued people, all Of
whom were conveyed as speedily as pos
sible to the station. When Nellie
reached the station the woman saved by
Henry Martin was there, but Henry had
gone back to the surf boat. How he
contrived to carry his burden so far may
best be explained by the heroes of the
life saving service, who know not till the
strain is over that they have been endur-
ing and accomplishing miracles.
1t was then dark, and the volunteers
built great fire and lay down upon the
sand beside it to await a signal from the
steamship should she begin to go to
pieces. No signal came, but how the
men by the fire waited all night, and
went out next morning through the
heavy surf to the ship again; how meDi
came from Blue Point and Point of
Woods stations; how life buoys werel
rugged; how the captain refused to
abandon his ship; how other crews put
out in boats across the surf, and all were
driven back; how the captain had to
yield to the inevitable, and, after three
days of almost constant work, how he
and all his crew were saved-these things
and much more are all set down in Off
cial records Of the government. For me
it only remains to tell of a young man,
haggard, unkempt and weary, who left
the station at last with something almost
Of regret in his heart that the sea had
not swallowed him, and yet something
also of manly pride in the struggle he
had endured; who crossed the sand bar
aud went toward the bay, where his
companions had told him a boat was
waiting to take him back to Babylon.
This young man plodded along heavily,
wholly unlike the giant who had battled
with wind and waves, and sands and
fog, and he did not look up until startled
by woman's voice close by. 1t was
Nellie, for when she had seen him COM
ing she had ran from the Sawyer's sloop
to meet him. And when they both had
gone aboard, Nellie blushing and ex-
cited, and Henry dazed, but strangely
happy, young Jim showed off from the
dock, and taking the tiller said:
'I'm all the crew there is, Mart, and I
guess in this breeze can get you home
o. K. If l can't I'll tell you to help me
out. You and Nell sit down and say
what you please. l sha'n't see anything
but the wind and the peak of the mainsl"

Now 1 happen to know that Nellie at

could in her own way; she was happy
and triumphant at once; yet, for reasons
past my ken, she made this reply:

all others that adorn the White House
walls, was ordered by congress, which APP
propriated 8, 500 for the work. The pic
ture has not been assigned a place among
the celebrities, most of which hang in the
south corridor, but hangs for the present
in the main vestibule, where the general
public can see it.
The canvas is striking portrait of the
ex-president, as all say who see it. The
artist has caught his expression to the life,
and his coloring of the features and hair is
superb. The pose Of the head and body is
totally unlike the photographs of Mr.
Cleveland that are so familiar. When Sit
ting for a photograph one is apt to as
sumo stiff and strained attitude, but in
this portrait the artist represents his sub
ject at perfect ease and in his most natural
position. All who see it say it is decidedly
the best of the presidential portraits. 1t is
not so large as some, nor as deliberately
framed, but it is all the more admired for
that. Some of the pictures of ex-presidents
whose figures adorn the walls of the White
House present a greater display of canvas
and frame than of art, it is feared. Notable
in this class are several who have passed into
history as very commonplace presidents.
The largest of ala gigantic canvas by
Healy-is of Mr.. Fillmore, who never cut
much of a figure in craftsmanship. That
portrait is of mammoth proportions, COW
ering the whole of one of the great panels
in the south corridor.
Congress has been very liberal to art in
its honors to the ex-presidents. Some years
ago it gave Healy an order for three por-
traits-those of old John Adams, Martin
Van Buren, and Fillmore-at 81, 900 each,
and when these pictures were finished it
was the opinion of all that Healy had de-
termined to earn his money. He made all
three full figures and CT giant size.

THE WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON PORTRAIT.
beautiful woman, arrayed in an astonish-
ingly brilliant gown OF crimson hue, re-
vealing a great wealth of neck and bust.
The old lady, still living, at the age Of
lightweight, probably has but an indis-
tinct recollection of this picture, for it has
been many years since she has seen it. In
the same room there is another picture of
White House lady, the daughUer-in-law
of Martin. Van Buren,. This was the wife
of Prince John Van Buren,, whose notable
filtration with the queen of England long
since passed into the social history of the
White House. 1t is the picture of a very
handsome woman, but artistically it does
no credit to the painter. A marble bust of
President Van Buren, appears in the pic
ture.
But next to Martha Washington the
most pretentious feminine portrait of the
White House collection is the famous tenn
perance portrait of Mrs. Lucy Hayes,
which was presented to the White House
by the temperance women of America. 1t
is full length portrait of colossal size. 1t
represents that excellent lady in a gown of
royal purple. 1t is said to be very excel
lent likeness. This is the picture which,
it is said, Mr.. Arthur, during his occu-
pancy of the White House, RELOCATED to
the cellar. But that story is not univer-
sally believed. 1t originated from the fact
that for year or more the picture disap-
peared from the White House, the lady
donors having taken it away for the pur-
pose Of having engravings made from it.
This picture, too, is the work of old Daniel
Huntington, and it is said he got s., 500 for
it. Originally the picture had massive
oaken frame, elegantly carved, the carving
revealing masses of tangled vines and
punches of grapes. When Miss Rose Eliza
beth Cleveland came to the White House
she had the frame chopped up for White
House kindling wood. The pictare, which
now hangs over the grand piano in the
Green parlor, is inclosed in massive gilt
frame more appropriate to the subject.

Senlper Iden.

She'd studied in the German school,
And when she daily played upon
The grand piano, great the din
That instrument she made upon.
She'd never subjugate her mood
To gasps of pianissimo,
But slug and slug the worries
In sturdiest fortissimo.
In every channel Of her life
Her tendencies were thunderous.
Her dresses were so loud, a sight
OF them from sleep would sunder rs.
And when her lover came, and she
In throe Of love would kiss him, oh.
The welkin would reverberate
With echoings fortissimo.
She's married now, and has brace
OF very noisy little ones,
And fortunate it is for them
That they were not made brittle ones.
For when they do offend, at once,
With movement allegrissimo,
She hammers on their neither parts
In muscular fortissimo.
