VERMONTiS GREAT ARTIST
To Paint n Portrait of Dewey and Send 7
to Montpelier.


New York, May 23.-Unless some unforc-
seen circumstance intervcncs, the State of
Vermont is to he honorcd with the first
portrait of Admiral Dewey painted By an
American artist on American soil
Thomas w. Wood has received the com
mission and Immediately after the Admiral
of tho navy has been welcomed in the har-
hor of New York he will pose for a pic
ture, which when finished promises to lie
remain in history as famous as that OF
Farragut Oh the Hartford.
The artist is a fellow citizen of Admiral
Dewey. Both were born in Montpelier
VT, and. while they did not attend the
same district school and were not close
companions as boys. the neighborness of
the families was such that when the rcpu-
taton as a portrait painter became estah-
lshed, he was commissioned to paint d
picture of DR.. Dewey, father of the Ad-
miral. That was in October, 1885, and the
painting is hanging to-day in the office of
Charles Dewey, the Admlral's brother.
Thus it came about that Mr.. Wood sug
gested to himself the timeliness of putting
such a great victory and told OF it so un-
pretentiousiy that he at once became the
idol of the American people.
1t was not and is not Mr. Woods ntcn-
ton to paint the portrait for public dis
play. When 1t is finished it will be sent
to his private gallery in Montpelier as n
valued addition to the treasures OF the
town and State. He wrote to the Admiral
in October last making the suggestion and
a few days ago. under date of January 80,
on board the flagship Olympia, in Manila
bay, he received an aCknow lcdgment Of h $
letter and cheerful expression Of willing
hess to accede to the request.
Mr.. Wood will make two paintings If
time will permit-oNe bust Of the admi-
raj and the other a ull-length portrait,

The Chiffon Paint is an old fashioned
one except that it is made by modern
machinery, and the colors are ground
into the Linseed Oil instead of being
stirred in with stick. The grinding
of the pigment into the oil makes not
only smoother and more perfectly
amalgamated product, but also one
that is less liable to fade, and can never
look streaked. One coat of Chiffon
Paint means something. In painting
house it is cheaper to use good paint
and one that will last for years, rather
than an inferior article which does not
cover or protect, Note that the Chiffon
Paint contains no benzine and is not
put up by short weight or measure.
