FAMOUS PORTRAIT
Was Presented to Louis XVI
by Father of His

The famous life-size portrait of

which finally returned to this country,
Is one OF collection of noted paintings
now owned by DR.. George Reuling, of

which Representative John Gill, jr., of
Maryland has introduced a bill In Con-
gress.
The bill asks for an appropriation of
$4,000. The national collection of art
In this city will be enriched by DR.. Reu-
ling's canvases If the bill passes.
Authoritative proofs in the possession
OF DR.. Reuling show that Washington
commissioned Peale to do the portrait
especially for presentation to the
French monarch. The background
shows Nassau Hall at Princeton and a
line Of Hessian infantry. from which it
is inferred that the painting was made
shortly after the battle of Princeton
Mr.. Gill claims that DR.. Reuling has
documentary evidence to prove that the
portrait was actually presented to Louis
XVI, and that the King gave the pic
ture to General Lafayette on the occa-
sion OF the latters return from America
at the close of the Revolution. Until
Lafayette's death the painting of the
great American occupied the place of
prominence in his salon, and after La

others, went to Judge Tissot, also of

Nothing else that you can take will

more than fifty thousand dollars, and
contains no quinine, which we have con-

Take this harmless compound as d.

is no other medicine made anywhere
else in the world, which will cure your
