Of George Yashington one might have
scpjxjsed that there remained nothing
new to be learned: but the recent dis
covery of a large collection of old draw
ings discloses that while he was with
the Continental army before Boston, in
1775 and 177C, he had beside him, part of
the time in his very household, a young
fellow, who. mad to be an artist, studied
his features, noted every mood and pos
ture, the light no less than the grave,
and as he had opportunity, stole off and
committed his observations to the first
ehred of drumhead or tanned deer skin
that came to his hand. The roeult is a
series of portraits of "Washington as he
appeared in the daily life of camp and
field, such as would be a. rare achievement

even in these days of the camera. The
young fellow Tvho was thus keeping- his
eve forever on the commander and com
mitting: what he saw to pictorial record,
v.as no other than John Trumbull, now
famous for finished portraits of Wash
ington and other revolutionary leaders,
painted at a later date. Soon after Wash
ington went to Cambridge to take com
mand of the army, he chose Trumbull
for one of his cides-de-camps.
His employment as aid-dc-camp o
Washlnston Trumbull exchanged before
long for that of a major of brigade; but,
in the meantime, he found himself, as he
says, "in the family of one of the most
distinguished and dignified men of the
age; surrounded at his table by the prln
cpal ofliccrs of the army and in constant
intercourse wilh them." and having for
his particular duty "to receive company
and do the honors of the house to many
of the first people of the country of both
poxes." Out of the relation there grew a.
life-long and rather close Intimacy with
Washington, and no artist could have
asked better opportunities for the study
cf character and features than Trumbull
enjoyed with reference to the man who
became his favorite subject.
In the autumn of 1785 he "began to
meditate seriously the subjects of national
history, of events of the revolution," which
were thereafter the great objects of his
professional life. The thing he laid spe
cial stress on in the execution of these
works was the portraiture. Thus he notes
that he "arranged carefully the composi
tion of the Declaration of Independence,
and prepared it for receiving the por
traits," as be "might meet with the dis
tinguished men who were present at that
illustrious sc?nc." Nor did he wait for
cuancc to bring his subjects in his way.
He traveled Into the farthest parts of the
country to -ecure sittings from them.
Thus, what with hlf-tcric groups and sin
gle portraits, he has left us likenesses
painted from life of most of the Important
mn of the Revolutionary period.
But Washington was Trumbull's spe
cial theme: him he isalntcd again and
again. In 1790 ho painted for the city of
Xew York the full-lergth portrait that
row hangs in the city hall. He relates
of this portrait the following Incident:
"At this time a numerous deputation
from the Creek nation of Indians was in
New York, and when this painting was
finished, the president was curious to see
the effect it would produce on their un
tutored minds. He therefore directed me
to place the picture In an advantageous
light, faelnp the door entrance of the
room where it was. and. having invited
several of the chiefs to dine with him, he,
after dinner, propesec' to them a walk.
He was tit-eased in full uniform, and led
the way to the painting-room, and when
the door was th:mn open they started at
seeing another 'Great Father' standing

them, and they were, for a time, mute
with astonishment. At length one of the
chiefs advancM toward the picture, and
slowly stretched out hi hand to touch it,
and was still more astonished to feel, in
stead of a round object, x fiat surface,
cold to the touch. He started back with
an cxdmttoa of astonishment "Ugh!"
Another then approached, and. placing one
hand on the surface and the ether behind,
was stilt more astounded to perceive that
his hands ltn.st met."
Two years later. In 172. in Philadelphia,
TraaibwM painted a portrait of Washing
ton, now owned by Yale college, which
the artist liknrtif pnmotiaees "the best
certainl of those which I painted, and the
best, in my estimation, which exists In
his heroic military character." And of
the painting of the portrait he gives the
following history:
"The city of Charleston, S. C, Instruct
ed William R. Smith, one of the repre
sentatives of South Carolina, to employ
me to paint a portrait of the great man,
and I undertook it con araore. meaning to
give his military character, in the most
sublime moment of its exertion the even
ing previous to the battle of Princeton,
when viewing the vast superiority of his
approaching enemy, and the impossibility
of again crossing the Delaware, or re
treating down the river, he conceies the
plan of returning by a nightmarch Into
the country from which he had just been
driven, thus cutting off the enemy's com
munication, and destroying his depot of
stores and provisions at Brunswick. I told
the president my object. He entered into
It warmly, and, as the work advanced,
we talked of the scene, its dangers, its
almost desperation. He looked the scene
again, and I happily transferred to the
canvas the lofty expression of his ani
mated countenance, the high resolve to
conquer or to perish. The result was, in
my own opinion, eminently successful, and
the general was satisSed. But It did not
mee the views of Mr. Smith. He admired,
he was personally pleased, but he thought
the city would be better satisfied with a
more matter-of-fact likeness, such as
they had recently seen calm, tranquil,
peaceful.
"Oppressed as the president was with
business, I was reluctant to ask him to
sit again. I however waited upon him,
stated Mr. Smith's objection, and he
cheerfully submitted to a second penance,
adding. 'Keep this picture for yourself,
Mr. Trumbull, and finish it to your own
taste.' I did so another was painted for
Charleston, agreeable to their taste a
view of the city in the background, a
horse, with scenery and plants of the cli
mate, and when the State Society of Cin
cinnati, of Connecticut, dissolved them
selves, the first picture, at the expense
of some of the members, was presented to
Yale college."
In the lately discovered Trumbull collec
tion there is a series of 34 portraits of
Washington, sometimes alone and some
times surrounded by his generals and
troops, all executed in 1775 and 1776, the
period within which Trumbull served as
his aide-de-camp in the army before Bos
ton, all bearing Trumbull's signature, and
all giving in the character of the work
such further proof of their authenticity
that the experts say there Is no question.
They are drawings in sepia, or pen and
Ink, or, in some instances, a combination
of the two, with finishing strokes and
shading in white china ink. They are
drawn on pieces of drum-head, or on hand
tanned deerskin, the deerskin often re
taining on the back some of the hair.
There is nothing conventional or formal
about these portraits. They are of charm
ing simplicity. Washington is represent
ed just as he appeared to Trumbull in his
movements in and about the various head
quarters. It is only with the Washington por
traits that we have to do here; but they
are only a part of the collection. It
contains also portraits from life of many
revolutionary generals, statesmen and
other distinguished men. There are por
traits of Generals Putnam, Knox, Schuy-

ler. Gates, Stark, Greene, Lafayette, Clin
ton, Montgomery, Lee, Moultrie, Pinck
ney, Arnold; of John and Samuel Adams,
Clymer, Franklin, Patrick Henry; John
Jay and Roger Sherman, and many be
sides. The most curious are those pictures
which represent Washington as the cen
tral figure of several humorous head
quarters' incidents. In one of these he
and Putnam are seated at a table enjoy
ing a glass of toddy; in another Washing
ton is reassuring an old lady, looking
with fright from her cottage door. In
two compositions, Washington is repre
sented in council with General Putnam
and Benedict Arnold. In a more elabor
ate frame, Washington stands before
his tent, an imposing figure, stern-featured
and commanding, issuing a military order
to General Putnam. The best-drawn, best
preserved and probably the most valuable
of the series Is the portraits of George
and Martha Washington, side by side.
This is delicately drawn in ink, sepia and
white, on 'smooth pig-skin, framed In
gilt and inclosed in an old cedar box
about 10x10 inches. Besides being unique
In character, as no other partralts of the
distinguished couple are known in this
form, it is the only one of the entire
series that Is signed in full, with location
and year: "X. York, 1776, Jno. Trumbull."
This must have been drawn from life in
the summer of 1776. just before the sep
aration of Mrs. Washington from the gen
eral, not to see him again until the mem
orable winter at Valley Forge.

THE DOGS IN FASHION
SOME FAVORITES OF
SHOWS.
THE BEXCH
Pare Strains Are Preserved. In, Amer
ica, by Breeders "Who Fancy
Different Dogs.
(Copyright, 1S33, by S. S. McClure, Lim
ited.) XEW YORK, Feb. 16. This week New
York comes round again to the annual
dog show, and lor three or four days most
of the smart people will be posing as
great dog fanciers. The influence of the
dog show on the real quality of the dogs
is not entirely for good. It encourages to
some extent merely fancy breeding, and,
especially, helps; on the disposition, always
strong enough, to vain "fads" and "fash
ions" in dogs. Thus the St. Bernard is
just now the favorite, but the Russian
wolfhound will be the favorite in the early
future. A few years ago in this country
and in England the ecliie, or sheep dog,
was the favorite in the bench shows and
in the drawing-rcoms as welL Now the
collie is more distinctly a working dog
than any other, a laborer with a record
PRIZE BULLDOGS.
so honorable that his praises have been
sung by almost every Scottish poet from
Burns down. Writing of his own collie
Luath, Burns said:
His breast was white, his towzie back
Weel clad wi coat o glossy black;
His gawcle tail, wi upward curl,
Hung o'er his hurdles wi' a swurl.
The standard as declared and defined
by the American Collie Club takes Issue
with the poet in one regard and says
that a collie's tail should not curl, though
it should hang over the hurdles with a
swurl. The swurl we see is all right, but
the curl is all wrong. Probably Burns did
not konw as much about the matter as
the gentlemen who make the rules for the
shows in Madison Square garden.
However this may be, the hand of
fashion has not improved the useful collie,
though in the highlands of Scotland,
where without his aid sheep farming
would be almost impossible, he is probably
as good as ever. And in other parts of
the world he is also serving the useful pur
pose for which nature intended him.
The wolf-like appearance, the erect or
semi-erect ears, the pointed nose and
shaggy covering of the collie have led
some naturalists, Buffen among them,
to regard him as the nearest approach to
the primitive type of any of the domestic
dogs. Other more recent authorities, how
ever, hold that it is more reasonable to
suppose that these points only indicate
purity of breed,' unalloyed by admixture
with other varieties. The fact that his
life is led almost entirely out of doors,
and that he has little or no opportunity
of mixing with dogs other than of his
own kind, would tend to preserve uni
formity In external appearance, while his
high cerebral development and Intelligence
prove beyond a doubt that the breed of
collies is one of the most highly improved
and in this respect remotest from the
primitive type. Where he is kept ex
clusively as a working dog his whole in
tellect Is devoted to the one duty of tend
ing his master's flocks and in the perform
ance of this he is equally sagacious, vig
ilant an3 patient.
The most notable of the collie breeders
and exhibitors at present is J. Pierpont
Morgan, the wealthy New York banker
and financier. He has his kennels at hi3
country place on the Hudson river near
West Point, where he has had the satis
faction of breeding and rearing some of
the finest specimens ever exhibited in
America. Mr. Morgan keeps and breeds
the collie entirely for his own pleasure,
and though he pays big prices for any dog
he fancies, he does not sell the offspring
of his bitches, preferring to give the pup
pies he does not wish to keep to his
friends.
The fox terrier is an extremely attract
ive and companionable dog, and the most
gentlemanlike of his kind. His good qual
ities have made him very popular, and at
the dog shows his class is always quite
large, while the competition for prizes is
very keen. He is thought to have orig
inated by crossing the English terrier
with the Italian greyhound, but there are
dog fanciers in plenty who do not assent
to this. He was originally bred and kept
as an addition to every pack of fox
hounds, being quick enough to be up in
a very few minutes after a fox had been
run to ground. Then the terrier would go
to ground, and by his persistent snapping
start the fox, so that the chase could be
resumed. Recently, however, the fox-

hound has become so fast that the fox ter
rier cannot keep up with a pack, and there
fore he has to be carried by a groom on
horseback.
He should have a flat head, narrow be
tween the eyes, but wider between the
ears. These should be set rather back.
I but be close to the cheek, and should be
small and thin. The eyes should be
small and keen; nose black; shoulders
straight, but not too wide; chest full and
round, but not deep; neck light and com
ing gracefully out of the shoulder: back
powerful, and thighs well bent and strong;
legs and feet straight and strong; coat
fine, but hard and silky. The weight
should not exceed 16 pounds, Stinehenge
says, but the American standard places
the maximum at 4 pounds higher. White
should predominate in the color, with
black head and tan markings about the
head.
A timid fox terrier is of no earthly ac
count, and should be destroyed as soon
as his lack of courage is demonstrated.
There is a ready sale for fox terriers, and
t
J
professional dog-dealers have them at
various prices. But? these dealers are not
over nice in scruples, and the purchaser
who gets a good one from such a source
at a reasonable price .may be counted as
very lucky. It Is much, safer to buy di
rectly from the breeders, many of whom
are gentlemen, and in every way beyond
reproach.
The bulldog is under the popular ban,
and many persons regard him as the
most objectionable of his race. He is said
to have little intelligence, and no affec
tion, and so distinguished an authority
as Frederick Couvier asserts this. John
Gibson also adopts this view. He is es
sentially a fighting dog, and was former
ly bred for the brutal sport of bull-baiting,
in which his terrible obstinacy usually
gave him the victory. He differs from
other dogs in giving no warning of his
attacks by preliminary barking, and when
he has once fixed his teeth in the object
of his attack, no amount of torture will
cause him to relax his hold. Colonel Ham
ilton Smith says that he has seen a bull
dog pin down an American bison, and
hold his nose to the ground till the an
imal brought forward his hind feet, and
crushing the dog -to death, tore his muz
zle out of the fangs.
Mans dog fanciers maintain that the
bulldog is much wronged, not only by
scientific authorities, but by common re
port. One of them says he is as intelli
gent as other dogs, but has been permit
ted to do without education for so long
that he does not learn quickly. Another
Bays that the bulldog is blamed for all
the wicked things which mongrels, in
which the bull predominptes, have done.
Another, H.. B. Kendall, of Lowell, Mass.,
says: "The, true 'bulldog Is the kindest
and most trustworthy of friends, and as
a companion for children Is without an
equal. Where it is impossible to keep a
mastiff, he Is the best possible watchdog.
Few persons wish, to keep a dog of such
hasty temper that he will bite a stranger
without provocation,- but every one can
feel that no perspn with a guilty con
science will intrude where the forbidding
face of our friend, the bulldog, warns him
to beware. As an exerter of moral influ
ence he Is without an equal in the canine
world." James Mortimer, manager of the
Westminster Kennel Club bench shows,
takes Mr. Kendall's view, and with both
of these Stinehenge agrees.
The bull terrier, a cross between the
bulldog and the English terrier, is rather
an amiable animal, but the fact that he
was originally bred and kept for fighting
has given him a lasting disrepute.
Sporting dogs, such as pointers and set
ters, are those which are most generally
employed In this country in actual work,
and there is hot a neighborhood In the
land in which several of these intelligent
animals are hot to be found, and there
fore, mere than any other breeds, these
two are valuable for the actual services
performed. The pointer is related to the
hound, and is supposed to be derived from
an old Spanish breed. He owes his name
to the habit of standing fixed at the scent
of game. The strength of this pointing
propensity was never more signally shown
than in the case told by Daniel of two
pointers which stood immovable as stat
ues during the hour and a quarter occu
pied in sketching 'them. Many sportsmen
prefer the setter .o-t thc pointer for work
in the field. -HetakQ his name from the
crouching attitude-he -assumes when he
has scented game'. Setters, which belong
to the Spanisn group in Courier's subdi
vision of the canine race, are of three
kinds, the English, Irish and Gordon.
There is really little to choose between
them, but it would be impossible to get an
enthusiastic admirer of either kind to say
as much. All of these sporting dogs are
valuable as companions, as they have in
telligence, beauty, amiability and loyalty.
JOHN GILMER SPEED.
GEE INDICTED FOR FORGERY
Prompt Action by the Grand Jury
in II is Case.
David L. Gee. charged with forging road
supervisors' time checks, was yesterday in
dicted by the grand jury. There will be
five or six more indictments found against
him, as the district attorney, to avoid
confusion at the trial, does not wish to
include all of the time checks forged by
Gee in one indictment. Gee forged the
signatures of Road Supervisors John
Conley, J. W. Ryan, Gustaf Peterson and
William Butler. He fcrged time checks
in the names of the following persons and
amounts: August Semler, $94 50; A. Barre,
?31 50; F. Holmes, $94 50: M. Mason, $91;
James Smith, ?S1; James Smith, $91 50;
H. Hayward, $31 50: M. M. Miller, $94 50;
Daniel Manning, $63: J. Clifton, $94 50;
Amos Smith, $9150; M: Milner. $91; Miles
Stanley, $91; Amos Smith, $91. The time
checks are dated in August, September,
October, November and December. The
majority of them are dated December 31.
An examination of the forged papers dis
closes that the indorsement upon the
back of each is in the same handwriting.
This is readily recognizable, so much so
that any person examining the bunch of
time checks together would at once detect
the similarity. That this circumstance
was not noticed when Gee passed his
forged checks is due to the fact that he
turned them in only one or two at a time
and on different days.
To obtain money upon road supervisors'
checks it is first necessary to obtain a
county warrant from the county clerk.
The process necessary to obtain these
warrants has been to have one or more
of the county commissioners first approve
the time check. Gee took his time checks
to Commissoiner Stone from time to time,
and, as he handled many genuine time
checks also. Commissioner Stone, suspect
ing nothing wrong, readily marked them
"O. K." and signed his name. Gee pre
sented the checks to the county clerk, se
cured warrants and disposed of the war
rants to Maesley. It is thought that Gee
must have entered Auditor Pope's room
at night time and taken out blank time
checks, as some enc is constantly in the
office in the daytime. He abstracted
checks from a number of different books.
Tho discovery -was made that blank time
checks had be;n taken from the books by
the remaining stubs, which were not filled
out by the road supervisors.
Gee's ball was fixed by Judge Stephens
at $1000. The authorities opine that some
other beside Gee did the actual work of
forging.

DEEP SEA FISHERIES
INFORMATION IN THE LATEST PA
CIFIC PILOT CHART.
A Veteran Captain New, San Fran
cisco Drj-rtocU-The Gwitlla. Ar
rives Ont Other Marine News.
The February number of the "North Pa
cific Pilot Chart," issued by the hydro
graphic office, has been received. It
contains a large amount of information
of value to those Interested in the deep
sea fisheries. The fish cpmmissioners,
Messrs. Alexander and Townsend, who
cruised in Behring sea in the steamer Al
batross last summer, have made their
report, and the result is shown on the
chart. There are 24 fishing banks- along
the coast of Alaska and the Aleutian is
lands, which are accurately described by
latitude and longitude with the depth of
water, on which halibut and cod were
found in large numbers and where suita
ble feeding ground was discovered to ex
ist. Each description of the location Is
accompanied by a short account of the
result of the investigation of the commis
sioners at that point, during their cruise.
Along the coast of Alaska and both
north and south of the Aleutian islands,
for nearly 1000 miles, fish were found in
large quantities and further investiga
tion will doubtless prove that the whole
ocean, adjoining those islands, is full of
good fish. Masters of all fishing vessels
going Into these waters are requested to
assist the department In securing more in
formation regarding fish found there, and
blanks for daily records are furnished for
the purpose.
The Persian Monarch.
The ship Persian Monarch, which has
benn converted from a British steamer,
and will load coal at Baltimore for San
Francisco, will carry a crew of about 40
men all told. The Persian Monarch will
probably be tho largest sailing ship in the
world, her tonnage being 3923. The iron
hull of the vessel retains its original
shape, with the exception that the main
deck has been cut down between the
houses.. She retains her four bulkheads
and water ballast compartments. On
deck are three houses, the forecastle for
32 seamen, a bridge amidships and a poop
deck. In the bridge house is a cabin
measuring 42x32 feet, finished in mahog
any, for the captain and mates. The of
ficers' rooms and three rooms for passen
gers are finished in black walnut. Steam
will be used to hoist sails, load cargo and
work the capstan. It is said that it has
cost $75,000 to convert her into a sailing
vessel.
Snn Francisco's New Drydoelc.
The Cousins floating drydock, which
was launched at San Francisco February
7, is one of the finest structures of the
kind ever built in this country. Its di
mensions are 180 feet in length by 27 feet
in height. It is claimed that no other
dock of the same tonnage in this country
can equal the Cousins dock in lifting ca
pacity. Extensions have been attached
to both ends of the structure, which ob
viates the necessity of building the dock
to its extreme length, while the lifting
capacity is not interfered with by the ar
rangement. Another special feature of
the dock is the large and airy space left
between decks. The dock contains 24
water-tight compartments, and its lift
ing power is 1400 tons. The dock was de
signed and built by J. J. Cousins, who
was connected with the Merchants' Dry
dock Company, of San Francisco, for
many years.
The Overturned Schooner.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 16. The derelict
sighted by the steamer Umatilla yester
day was picked up at sea this morning
by the tug Sea King. The Sea King and
tow were reported oft Point Reyes this
morning, but, with the wind and tide
against her, it is not likely that she will
be in before tomorrow. Thus far there
have been no reports of wreckage com
ing ashore at any point along the coast,
a fact which is taken by sailors to in
dicate that the vessel was overturned with
out any warning, in which case all on
board were lost in the disaster. It is
believed she is the Ocean Spray, from
Iverson's Landing, leaded with wood.
A Veteran Skipper.
The British ship British General, now
on the way up the river, is commanded
by one of the oldest, is not the oldest,
shipmaster in actual service. He is Cap
tain Tullock, and a few months ago, in
Australia, he celebrated his "golden jubi
lee" as a master, having been a captain
for 50 years. Captain Tullock is over SO
years of age, and is one of the most
genial mariners in the world. He ranks
high, too, as a navigator. The British
General belongs to the British Shipping
Company, of Liverpool.
The Second of the Fleet.
The British bark Gevalla arrived at
Queenstown February 13, after a good
passage of 119 days from this port. The
Gwalla is the second vessel of this sea
son's fleet to arrive out, the first hav
ing been the Cathcart. Two other ves
sels sailed ahead of her, the Crofton Hall
and Prlorhili, and the Columbia and Wray
Castle left on the same day, but none of
them have reached their destination. The
Gwalla carried a cargo consisting of 43,

MULTNOMAHS AGAIN.
Once More They Bowl Down the Ar
lington's Piclccil Tenia.
The third contest in the Arlington-Multnomah
bowling tournament took place on
the Multnomah club alleys last night, and
resulted Ia another victory for the ath
letes, who now hold a lead of 110 points In
the totals. The evening's sport was the
most spirited of the series and the crowd
of spectators was the largest. It looked
for a time as if the Arllngtons must
surely win, for they bowled steadily and
well, but hard luck attended their ef
forts toward the close of the game, and
half a dozen "goose eggs" materially re
duced their score. In fact, it was only
during the last 30 minutes play that the I
Multnomahs secured the lead, and then
they ended the battle with a brilliant
spurt, that gave them S3 points the best
of it on thenights play.
Dr. A. C. Panton, of the Arlingtons,
bowled a very fine game, making an aver
age of 47Vi points the highest In the
tournament thus far. Joe Smith, of the
M. A. A. C.'s, made an average of 46.
the highest on his team. The total score
thus far is: Arlington, 4S59; Multnomah,
4969. Following was the score last even

Is
Now Booked to How Gnmlanr.
NEWCASTLE, England, Feb. 16. The
sculling match between Charles W. Hard
ing and Thomas Sullivan took place on the
river Tyne this afternoon. It was for a
purse of 1000. and the Sportsman's chal
lenge cup. The race was regarded witn
special interest at this juncture, as it was
understood if Harding should win it he
would row Jake Gaudaur. Harding won
the toss for position and chose the north
side of the river. The start was made at
5 o'clock and was a good one. At Red
Hugh bridge, Sullivan was two lengths
ahead of Harding. He slowly increased
his lead until he was four lengths in ad
vance, when Harding spurted and over
hauled him. Harding never lost his lead
thereafter and was four lengths ahead
of Sullivan when he crossed the winning
line; lime, 21:13. Harding is a Londoner
and was brought up as a Thames water
man. In 1894 he defated George Bubear,
the English champion.
