and an accomplished artist. He came
to America in 1894. He had been well
known in Stockholm and Paris, and
he moved in the highest and most
artistic circles in Europe. His artistic
representation of Washington has re-
ceived great credit and has been en-
Enthusiastically praised by those who
knew Washington. In comparison with
the portraits of Wright and Pine it
will always be preferred as a splendid
rendering of Washington in his most
agreeable mood. The drawing and
modelling of the head are superb. Ev-
cry part is most carefully painted and
is certainly a lofty ideal of the man,
The lifelike dignity and splendid pres
ence are Enthusiastically presented. The
artist took the picture to Europe and
gave it to Mr.. CaZenove of SwitZer
land. 1t was afterward purchased
from the descendant of Mr.. Cazenove
and brought to America.
Wertmuller painted several other por-
traits of Washington, mostly cabinet
size, one of which is owned by the wild
ow of DIR. Bogert of New York. Anoth-
er bust portrait was presented to Mrs.
Lawrence Lewis. This last was sold to

to France nothing is known. It is now
claimed that it has been brought back
to this country by some party as yet
unknown.
Charles Wilson Peale lived to be n
very old man, and there is no question
that he painted Washington from life
many times and had more sittings than
all other artists, and, Furthermore, he
made and sold a greater number of
copies of his portraits than all the art
lists of his time. The last sitting that
Washington gave the elder Peale was
in Philadelphia in 1895. James Peale,
brother, and Rembrandt Peale, the
son, were present, and all three had
splendid opportunity to do their best.
The portrait of the elder Peale painted
at that sitting is now in the Historical
society museum of New York city.
To notice the great number of minia-
lures painted by the elder Peale and
his brother james would exceed the
limits of this article, but those inter
ested in Washington miniature like
nesses are referred to the great quarto
of Elizabeth Bryant Johnston, which is
now very rare, but may be found in the
principal libraries. 1t would be strange
indeed if there were not in Washing
toms time number of would be ar
fists who essayed to take Ekenesses of
the great man. Some of these have
been preserved by engravings, but

size portrait of Washington. This, his
tory informs us, was in the year 1872.
Peale had just returned from Europe
aud was invited to Mount Vernon when
Washington was forty years of age.
He painted a three-quarter length por-
trait in the dress of colonel of mill
tia of the colony of Virginia. Wash
ington wears cooked hat and carries
q gun slung over his shoulder. This
portrait has been engraved very often
and is familiar to all who take an in
terest in Washington's likenesses. Peale
painted bust portrait from the three
quarter length, which came into the
possession of Charles S. Ogden and is
supposed to be still in his family. Peale,
besides being skilled mechanic and
the most renowned portrait painter
then in America, was also a soldier in
the Revolutionary army and led his
company in action.
In 1777, when congress was sitting in
Philadelphia, it ordered the artist TO
paint full length portrait of Washing
ton. Peale was then with his company
at Valley Forge. The battles of Prince
ton and Monmouth were both fought
before the portrait was finished. and
the brave artist led his company in both
battles. Washington was very friendly
to Charles Wilson Peale and sat for
him when he could spare the time
He sat for the picture which congress
had ordered and took great interest in
it. 1t is a historical composition, with
VXyacI,inerfon in fI111 uniform his hand
resting on cannon. The picture was
finished in Philadelphia in 1879, and,
as is usual in such cases, the artist and
his labors We're forgotten. Congress
adjourned without paying for the pic
ture, and the artist never received n
cent for his work. The picture was sent

ert Fulton. New York; Jacques Due
Barbiere Welboune, France; William
Dunlap, New Jersey; William Bisch;
Walter Robertson, Ireland; Robert
Field, England. But few of these ever
came to the notice of the public. Still
most of them were painted during the
life of Washington, but not from sit
tings.
Rembrandt Peale, one of the great
artists who painted Washington from
life, was born on the 22d of February,
when Washington's army was suffering
in the cherries camp at Valley Forge
and while his father was in the RevO-
lutionary army. He became a favorite
and a companion of Washington. He
was a great painter, lecturer and writ
er and an accomplished gentleman.
Rembrandt Peale; his father, Charles
Wilson Peale; his uncle. james Peale,
and his elder brother, Raphael Peale,
Were favored Jointly by Washington
with three sittings at Philadelphia in
1T95. Raphael Peale made a profile
from these sittings which came into the
possession of II. II. Huston Of Phila-
delphia, now deceased. The original
that Rembrandt painted at that time,
it is claimed, was sold to Il gentleman
in South Carolina. This original is now

other he retained, and this second por-
trait is now in possession of ]. Carson
Brevoort of Brooklyn. Pine corrected
and reprinted another portrait of Wash
ington during the constitutional con-
vention. This last picture by Pine
is very ordinary. a tame map of the
man. Washington himself had that
opinion of the likeness, for he declined
to sit for Pine again-indeed positively
refused when asked to do so.
James Peale was a brother of Charles
Wilson Peale. AS miniature painter
he succeeded fairly well. His one large
oil painting on canvas of Washington,
known as the Claypoole picture, is an
ordinary three-quarter length. He
painted a miniature of Washington.
which is now owned by the Washing
ton Grays of Philadelphia and was said
to be fair likeness at the time.

Trumbull to execute portraits. he
made sketches of Washington while
on his staff, which it is supposed he
subsequently used in his historical COM
positions now in the rotunda of the cap
itol at Washington and at New Haven,
Conn.
The portrait of Washington painted
by Colonel Trumbull now in the city
hall, New York city, was ordered by
the municipal authorities, headed by
the celebrated Richard Varick, then
mayor.
The mayor and city council of
Charleston, S. c., in 1871 gave Trum-
bull commission to paint Washington.
The artist chose to represent the gen
eral in full length as he appeared on
the battlefield of Trenton. When the
picture was finished, it received the IN
qualified approval of Washington, and
some critics even declared that it was
superior to the statue of HOudOn, but
this opinion was rather premature, for
the Houdon was not erected in Rich
mond until 1896, so that the comparison
was hardly possible. If the same crit
les could compare them today, the pref
erence would be for HOudon. Trum-
bull painted cabinet portraits of Wash
ington and Mrs. Washington which
were sold to the government and are
now in the patent office. In 1890 Colo
mel Trumbull painted full length cabi
net portraits of Washington for the

greater and grander the philosopher
will contemplate WasnIngtOns superior
abilities, his noble counsel, his pru-
-dence and wisdom. The soldier will
recount the story of his military
achievements and his victories over the
armies of the most powerful nation in
the world. The patriot will dwell with
rapture on his patriotism, his genius
and his invincible courage. They will
tell how, when the line of the Con-
tinentals wavered at Monmouth, he
seized the battlefag and bore it to the
forefront of the fight and drove the
best soldiers of Europe from the field.
There seems to be some doubt and
difference of opinion as to who painted
the first likeness of Washington from
life. 1t is a miniature and is still in
existence. Some say that it was paint
ed in Boston by Copley. but Rembrandt
Peale. who painted Washington from
life, declares that the first miniature
was painted by his father, Charles
Wilson Peale. With this opinion we
are inclined to agree. Charles Wilson
Peale was very remarkable man. He
could do a little of everything and a
great deal of a great many things. He
was the first painter to execute a life

Christian Guilager came to America
from Denmark. After spending COM
petence in improvidence this eccentric
artist settled in Boston and painted a
variety of pictures. He sketched Wash
ington by stealth during the visit made
to Boston in 1850. A number of citi-
zens of Boston called ON Washington
and requested him to sit to Guilager

A ROMANCE OF FINANCE.
"Nap0leOn Of the Wheat Markep Makes
And Loses Millions and Is Now
Bankrupt.

Edward l.. Dwyer of New York
has filed petition in bankruptcy
with the clerk Of tho United States
District Court at New York. The
liabilities are fixed at 1914 1856 and
assets $l5O. Most Of the liabilities
are secured.
The history of Edward l.. Dwyer
reads like Il ro! ance. He WAS born
in Connecticut forty-three years ago,
and at tho ago Of 25 went to Mexico,
wEcre no realized million dollars
through tho development Of land and
| tho construction Of q railroad. Then
he went to Chicago and entered into
wheat speculation and for some time
WIS known rs tho "Napoloon Of the
Wheat Pit" In his wheat specula
ton it is said he made several mil
lion dollars, but finally lost all.
In 1893 he met and married the
Duchess de Castolluchia, a New York
woman, who many years previously
had heon married to an Italian no.
blcmHn. The Duchess possesscd
many acres of orange groves in
Florida She was 73 years of age
and Dwyer 33 Not long after tho
marriage Mrs. Dwyer died, leaving
Al estate of over $3,0O0,000. She
heqn"nthed $50 Of this amount to
Dwyur. The will was fought for
six years but finally was admitted to
probate by the surrogate of New
York city.
After the leath of his aged wife
Dwyer went all over the West organ
wing mining and land companies
many of which are said to have re.
turned vast sums of money to the
Investors, Of which he says he ha.
received little or nothing.

GEN. NILES REPORT.

Another stage has been reached in
the acute relations that exist between
Gen. Miles and the war department.
Gen. Miles has lately returned from a
tour around the world, in the course OF
which he visited the Philippines, and
he has made report of conditions as
he alleges he found them there, espec-
tally with regard to the part the army
has played in maintaining order since
the insurrection virtually ended He
reports that numerous instances came
to his attention of striking cruelties to
which the nstives were subjected by
the American soldiers. He gives some
particulars. He finds the general con-
dition of the army satisfactory. save
that the service is depressing on ae-
count of the climate and the distance
from home.
Gen. Miles is the acknowledgement
in command of the United States
army. He has had a most honorable
career as a soldier from the time of
the civil war down to the Spanish war,
though his reputation came. in chief.
from his success in numerous Indian
campaigns. Notwithstanding this.
Gen. Miles has many enemies aud ri
walls. and his position for some time
with relation to the war depsrtne
has been such as would hardly be en-
durable to most men.
The troubles began during the Span
ish war Gen. Miles wanted TO 90 to
Cuba at the head OF the army. but was
oyerruied and forced to remain be-
hind until the fighting was over. He
took revenge by accusing the war de-
partment of ineapacity in providing
the forces with proper food and sup
plies, which led to a long controversy.
and finally TO an investigation where
in 'embalmed beer figured conspicu-
ously. Secretary Alger was sustained,
and Miles eensured Tor the imprOpri-
ETY.. as commanding general. of public
~ scoring the department that he serv-
