OFFERS PAINTING OF LEE
AND GRANT SHAKING HANDS
by G. Il. STEWART

Washington, July 31.-(Special.) For a
long time there has been growing senti-
ment among the representatives in Con-
gress to buy, If possible, an oil painting
of the two great commanders of the late
war between the states-Lee and Grant
IL one could be had of them shaking
hands
Such picture has been painted. 1t is IL
by 16 feet, showing Generals Lee and
Grant shaking hands after the surrender
of the Confederate army at Appomattox,
and it has been offered to the government
by William B. Matthews of this city. The
painting was done by Mr.. Matthews
brother George E. Matthews, a young
artist, of Washington
A bill authorizing the purchase of the
picture was introduced in the House by
Representative Charles Bartlett of Geo
gia, calling for an appropriation of $1,000.
Ii was referred to the House committee
on library, of which Representative James
l.. Slayden of Texas is chairman. but as
there are many other bills relating to the
purchase of various pictures and plans for
monuments up for consideration, 1t Is
rather unlikely that this one will be re-
ported at this session.
While members of the committee on IL
brary would not discuss the likelihood
of the purchase of the picture, 1t comes
from reliable source that there Is a wide
difference of opinion In the committee as
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1912-08-01

to whether 1t should be bought by the
government.
1t seems that the one point of argu-
ment Is conferred on the fact that the
painting shows Grant and Lee looking
out into space while they are shaking
hands. Some members of the committee
think that 1t would give the painting a
much more natural expression if the two
fighters were facing each other Then,
too, they contend that the pose is not
natural or characteristic of the two great
est military geniuses of the country. They
say that Lee and Grant in the act of
shaking hands would look each other
square in the eyes.
For number of years a picture, such
as the one offered the government, has
been desired by patriotic members of
Congress. OF the hundreds of handsome
paintings In Washington none show the
leaders of the Blue and the Gray shaking
hands.
But when the question of the purchase
of the picture comes up for final consid-
Grafton on the part of the committee it
Is more than likely that the issue will be
raised as to whether they should have
been painted facing each other or not.
The artist is young man originally
from Virginia, but now a resident OF
Washington. He Is In his twenties, but
the work, it is said, does him great credit
and represents the two well known figures
of the late war true to life, and the only
possible objection to 1t is that mentioned
above.

For the benefit of many friends who
do not know the scope of our women
work, I wish to mention some of the
cases cared for at Pisgah home during
the last month.
Sister Alice. 80 years old, deserted by
her husband, about to become a mother,
penniless and sick, was brought to the
home in June She was sent to her father
in Admission last week well and happy.
Sister Beatrice, a girl of good parent
age, deceived and deserted, left her new
born babe to the care of Pisgah home.
The little fellow now sleeps in silk lined
cradle, and his new parents refuse to put
a price on him.
Sister Stella, given to us on parole
by Judge H. b. Abernethy, nine months
ago, was married last Sunday to former
2lsgah boy now earning s25 a week.
'"Those VINO doubt the existence OF the
white slave traffic in Birmingham need

sleeping in clean bed. The next day
transportation was secured from the city
officials. and the family were sent on
their way, rejoicing at Birmingham hos
pitality.

The suit was filed against 50 lumber
companies. The commissioner found 20

members of the association curtailed the
output to consumers; third. that there
was a joint trade agreement in 1904 be-
tween members of the Yellow Pine Manu-
facturers' association and members of
the various retail dealers associations,
whereby the manufacturers and whole
salers agreed to sell only TO certain re-
tail dealers who were regarded as legit-
innate dealers, and fourth. by blacklist
ing certain retailers known as poachers,
who did not obey trade regulations estab-
lished by the Yellow Pine Manufacturers
organization.
The 30 companies which were found
guilty have an aggregate capital of sl5,-
