Painting of That Conflict.

Soon after the clvil-war panoramic
paintings Of the great battletelds We're
displayed in the larger cities of the East

more famous than the canvas Of Philip
Iteau portraying scenes on the battle
field of Gettysburg. 1t attracted multi
tudes in New York. Boston, Philadel-
phia, Pittsburg. St Louis. and Chicago.
and was exhibited in this city in a special
Cyclorama Building which stood on Fiji

twenty years ago. Since then. however.
the war between the States has become

has waned, and the public no longer pat

painting was one of the unique sights

This magnificent work was cut into
STRIPS of al sizes and converted into a
restaurant tent, the feature of which
was its soup and pork and beans. A

to which it was tied, ran to the mouth OF

The actions of the mule were so pc
