Fricze in ROtunda, Dropped
in 1889.

WAsHiHGToS. June 5.-Senator O'Gor-
man introduced resolution to-day pro
viding for the completion Of the historic
frieze in the Capitol rotunda. This frieze
has been incomplete since 1889. mainly
because Congress has been unable to
reach an agreement on the subjects that
are 10 appear In the final group.
II has been something OF shock to
many visitors at the Capitol rotunda to
observe this incomplete frieze about 20
feet from the floor, betting the walls with
a considerable part OF 1t blank The in
completed work Is a fresco by two foreign
born artists. Brumidi and Costaggini, and
represents scenes in the development OF
the world from the discovery by Column
bus.
The early scenes represent the entry OF
Cortez into the halls of the Montezumas,
Pizarros conquest OF Peru, the landing
Of the Pilgrims and PENIS treaty with
the Indians.
Brumidi died under particularly dis
tressng circumstances. before completing
his work. lie was advanced In years and
while working upon a scaifolding com
plotting the frieze he fell, but fortunately
have been dashed to death on the tagging
below. a Waterman discovered him as
he chung to the ladder and rescued him
In an exhausted condition. He died from
the shock soon afterward.

wanted Grant and Lee.

Senator Hawley OF Connecticut OBJ
jected to putting into the frieze picture
of President Cleveland and emitting Lin
coin and Washington. Senator Hawley
suggested that q scene representing Grant
and Lee shaking hands under the apple
tree OF Appomattox would be much more
appropriate figure than the Chicago
Worlds Fair.
Senator O'Gormans plan, however. Is
for the completion OF the historical frieze
NV having painted TN rein by an American
artist of national reputation a suitable
design presenting Grant and Lee shaking
hands at Appomattox symbolizing the
preservation OF the Union and reunited
country, and another scere OF suitable
design, representing the Panama Canal In
operation, and still another representing
aerial navigation.
The resolution appropriates $4,000.
directs that the work be awarded after
competition and names the Vice-Presi-
dent, the Speaker and the Library Con-
mittees OF Congress as a CON mission to
carry out the plan.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-06-06

Costaggini undertook to complete the
work. Among the scenes which he added
TO the friezc were one from the Plymouth
colony, GOV. Oglethorpe and the Indians,
the battle Of Lexington, reading of the
Declaration of Independence, surrender
OF CORVALLIS. death OF 1ecumseh Gen.
SCOTS entry into Mexico and the dlscov-
cry OF gold in California
This brought the procession OF events
up to 1s4s. CostagCinl suggested that
the frieze be completed with two addl-
tional figures the joining of the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific railroads In
Utah, with Leland Stanford driving the
golden spike which completed the first
transcontinental railroad. and the last
scene in the circle to be the picture Of
President Cleveland touching the button
that opened the worlds fair In Chicago
celebrating the discovery OF the New
World
Costaggini had trouble with Congress
about his pay and never completed his
work. In 1896 Senator Hansbrough from
the Committee on the Library reported in
favor of a resolution to carry out Cos
tagginl's plan.

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Dec. 19.
Capt w. c. Short of the 4th Cavalry
narrowly escaped serious injury when
his horse turned a complete summer
sault over a three and a half foot
hurdle Thursday afternoon. The cap
tain fortunately fell clear of the horse
but received several serious bruises
and contusions, and is temporarily
badly disfgured. Capt. Short, who
has one Of the best trained horses at
Schofield, was going over some
hurdles ahead of a horse belonging to
Maj Guy H. Preston, in order to in
duce this horse to follow over the
jumps in preparation for the annual
obstacle ride to take place next Tues
day. The hurdle consisted of pile of
sand bags to which the horse ap-
preached too close before making his
leap.
The officers of the 1st Field Artil-
ride without mishap last Wednesday.
Col s. ID. Sturgis, followed by the Of
fieers of the regiment, completed the
three.mile course with its nine obsta.
cles In 10 minutes and % seconds. The
officers of the 4th Cavalry will 60 over
the course next Tuesday. il.
There was large number of spec
tators along the course last Wednes-
day and there will probably be even
more to watch the 4th Cavalry.
This ride, which was inaugurated
BY ex-Presidents Roosevelt, Is ms the
nature of test for both officers and
their mounts Officers are required
to ride their own horses. -.
For the first year or two it was con-
sidered something of an undertaking
but now that most officers have
mounts that are trained to take much
higher jumps than those required in
this ride, il causes but few officers
any uneasiness. There are once In
awhile few bad falls, the principal
danger, however. being the liability
of collisions with so many horses TAX
ing the jumps together.

Gus enlisted members of the regiment

rifles and as these men have been Sc
lected on account of their skill as

that all service people will rally en-

entertainments that in nearly all cases

price Of tickets for ball and supper
has been set at 81 and the ladies feel
that they can assure patrons that for
