and nothing further was ever
said about it. Now most of the pictures lent
are kept by the Capitol artist in his own rooms.
His walls lined with portraits and battle
scenes of all kinds and degrees of excellence.
Many portraits of former Speakers of the
House are in this collection. Congress in re-
cent years has authorized the purchase of pOr-
traits of the Speakers, after they have gone out
of office, and nearly every painter in the cOun-
try tries TO secure the order Many send their
efforts to the Capitol artist, and as only one is
accepted by Congress several are left IN the
store room. Some are evidently forgotten.
There are now in Mr.. Duckstein'S art store two
pictures of the late Speaker Reed and one of
Speaker Henderson, both rejected and left
The Henderson portrait was rejected by Speaker
Henderson himself, because he said it had the
head of man, but the shoulders of a boy. Many
OF the other portraits are also undoubtedly of
eX-SpeakerS; butnO one knows Just who they are.
Some OF the pictures left in Uncle Sans art
store are so large that 1t would be almost i'm
possible to find a suitable place for them in the
Capitol. They are in the same fix as a model
OF the Capitol, made few years ago by
French clay mOdeler, who has a studio there
high up underneath the dome. This man makes
a number of plaster casts of odds and ends used
around the Capitol, and when 1T was proposed
to change the Capitol some years ago he was
instructed to make a plaster cast of the build
ing, which was to be placed on exhibition IN the
rotunda. He made beautiful white minia ture
OF the Capitol; but when an attempt was made
to take 1t down from the artists studio to the
rotunda, IT was found to be too large for the
stars. The model was sawed into three parts
carried down, and put together again

UNCLE SANS ART STORE

UNDERNEATH the Capitol

an art store, in
New-York tribune., 1910-01-02

charge of one man, who is connected with the
office of superintendent OF the Capitol, and
for want of a better title might be called the
Artist of the Capitol. The present holder OF
this office is William H. Duckstein. 1t is his
duty to look after all statuary and pictures
owned by the Government in the Capitol; but
a matter of fact he does everything connected
with pictures, from framing them to touching
up old and faded oil paintings, and sometimes
making almost new pictures
There are several hundred piCtureS-mOre or
less works of art-SCattered throughout the
Capitol and in the various committee rooms.
These all have to be cleaned and the frames pol
ished every now and then. Accidents are likely
to happen to almost anyone of them, and 1T Is
the duty of the Capitol artist to patch them up.
Not long ago somebody tore big hole in the
large painting in the rotunda representing the
Embarkation of the Pilgrims" The artist
patched it so that there is scarcely any sign of
its mutilation.
The location of picture is also often changed.
as the superintendent of the Capitol may order.
This is seldom done with the large ones how
ever. The famous eight pictures IN the rOtunda
have been removed only once in the last twenty
years, in order to have the frames regilded and
waterproof backs put in. 1t was tlcSliSh job;
but the pictures were put back without being
damaged.
The large full length picture of Washington,
painted by Charles Wilson Peale in 177S was
in bad shape when it was bought by Congress
in 1882. There was an irregular tear at the top
of it. but the artist has fixed this so that no one
can notice it. This is the oldest picture in the
Capitol. and had a varied career before it was
bought by the Government for five thousand
dollars. A description of its wanderings would
fill book. 1t was painted when Washington
was fOrty-eight years old, at the suggestion of
Washington himself. 1t has been exhibited in
various galleries in this country and France.
AT one time it was hung in the Smithsonian In
Stitution; but the Peale family never gave up
the title to it until it was finally sold to the
Government
Many of the pictures now adorning the walls
of the Capitol were originally left with Con-
greSS on speculation that is, the artists lent
them to the Government. with the hope of ulti-
mate sale. In many instances some of these
pictures were so long in possession of the Gov
ernment that everyone supposed they had ac-
tually been purchased until the artist put in
bill for the price. This was the case with the
large painting of the battle of Chapultepec, and
the artist finally got his price Later on, he
tried to have the Government agree to hang a
very large picture of the battle of Gettysburg
in the Capitol; but Congress baked on this,
and gave him permission only to exhibit it in a
room. As yet it has not been bought. The
rule now IS that no picture can be hung in the
Capitol except with permission of the Senate
and House committees on the library.

Leurze's Experience with Consress


NEARLY every picture in the Capitol has an
interesting history. 1t is not an easy matter
to dispose of paintings to Congress; for COM
mittees OF the Senate and the House carefully
scrutinize all bills introduced for the purpose OF
selling the Government anything.
An interesting story is told round the corri-
dorS of the Capitol of the finest painting in the
building, the Westward HO! picture This
spirited scene painted on the wall of the
Capitol, at the head of the stairs leading 10 the
House gallery, by Emanuel Leutze. forever en-
deared to America by his famous Washington
Crossing the Delaware" He received his COM
mission from Congress in 1861, and worked for
nearly year on it. When. however, it came
time for payment for the work the war was on
and money was needed for other things In
VAIN the artist tried to get his contract price
from Congress, and finally appealed 10 PreSi-
dent Lincoln
The President explained that he could not
compel Congress to paw for the picture. but
suggested that he might appoint the artists son
to the Military Academy at West Point The
boy did not want to be soldier but did want
to be sailor. and so President Lincoln gave
hlin an appointment TO the Naval Academy
This young man is now Rear Admiral Eugene
II. [. Leutze. He was one of the Captains of
Admiral DeweyS fleet at the battle of Manila
Bay. Admiral Dewey told the story TO party
OF friends sometime ago. The Government
however. finally paid twenty thousand dollars
for the painting.
Up to a few years ago. the frieze round the
inside of the dome of the Capitol was distigured
by hanging Scatfold, and every visitor To the
rotunda wondered why this ugly platform was
lett in so conspicuous a place The reason WIS
that the frieze has never been finished. and
there Is an empty space still spelling the SYM
metry of the outline. The Senate and House
have never been able 10 agree upon what 70
have painted at this place. and may never be
able TO settle this mooted question

When the Artist Forsets

L sometimes happens that artist leaves a
= picture with the man in charge of Uncle Sans
picture store, and then forgetS to get it back
In course of time everyone else forgets about it.
and recently when the Capitol artist moved
from his old quarters to more commodiouS
rooms. he found a great many pictures that he
did not know anything about, of which there
were no records. MANY were portraits. and
some had no names on them whatever They
We're covered with dust and dirt, and it took
Mr.. Ducksteln sometime to clean them up sutfi-
ciently TO tell what they We're.
Among these were found two portraits of
President Tafts father, Judge Alphonso Taft,
painted when he was Secretary of War in 1876
by Charles Thorpe. For many wears these pic
lures must have been stored away in the lower
regions of the Capitol and there is no record of
how they ever got there. The Capitol artist did
not know whose portraits they were even after
he had thoroughly cleaned them. Their iden-
tty was accidentally discovered BY a news
paper man, and President Taft was told about
them. The pictures were taken to the White
House and President Taft bought them. One
was retained by the President and the other
sent to Charles p Taft. The President de-
clared that both were excellent hkenesses of
ms father, though one was in better condition
than the other. 1t Is said that the newsDa ner
man made good commission out of his acci-
dental hnd but the price paid for the pictures
secret.
