Washington, July 11, It Is a Blngu
tar fact that In Ucll'8 great national pho
tograph gaUcry in this city, wlicro tho
famous beauties and famous men of the
.last quarter century liavo sat beforo tho
RED CLOUD.
.camera, the "finest" negatlvo over taken
was that of an American Indian. Among
presidents, senators, orators, supromo
court Judjros and forelcn ministers tho
iacb and head of Rod Cloud stand forth
conspicuous as tho most interesting and
artlstlo study. Old Red Cloud is now at
his homo in Dakota, almost boyond tho
frontiers of civilization, trying his best
to get from tho government a good and
rcasonablo prico for tho lands of his
peoplo, but his photograph, standing In
tho show window of Bell's shop, is ono
of tho best known pictures in tho national
capital.
Occasionally Red Cloud comes down
hero to bco tho "great father," but ho no
longer wears tho plcturosquo dress in
which wo sco him in this picture. Now
ho wears a full suit of "storo" clothes,
as do all of tho Indians who como hero.
In fact, thl photograph gallery contains
good ovidenco of tho evolution of civili
zation nnioiih' our Indian tribes. Cliiof
Operator Dodgo lias framed a Bet of pho
tographs which show at a glanco tho
rapid progress mado by Indian chlof
tains in tho acquirement of European
dress and customs.
Tho first stago is represented by such
noblo and picturcsquo heads as thoso of
Rod Cloud, Lean Wolf and Rushing
Eaglo. A fow years ago all tho Indians
who canio to Washington on business
with tho government woro in travoling
.common blankets, skin leggings, moc
casins and elilrts. Their "full dress" of
war bonnets, head feathers, etc., they

brought along tied up with thongs, to bu
.donned on all state or ceremonial occa
sions, such as a visit to tho Whlto Houso,
1 tho ofilco of tho secretary of tho interior,
.or tho photographer's.
Tho second stago is shown in such faces
as that of Littlo Beaver, who had donned
tho white man's waistcoat, laundricd
shirt, trousers, collar and nccktio, but
who was unwilling to glvoup his blanket,
his single head feather, tho fantastic
adornment of tho two long braids and
his raven hair.
Tho third stago Is represented bycourt-
Jy old Mcdicinu Bull, a Lower Brule Sioux,
who gave up
everything but
his blanket and
moccasins. II o
took on tho over
coat, tho collar
and oven tho light
walking stick of
his white friend,
but no entreaty
could provall on
him to abandon
the soft and easy
footdress which
he had worn all
his life for tho
stiff boots or
shoes of clviliza
tlon. Medlcino
Bull is vory
proud of his pho-
memcink uulu tograph taUcu in
his combination costume, and lias al
ready ordered four dozen prints from tho
negative to distribute unions his friends
at Lower Brule. Ills son, a teacher at
Hampton college, and a very bright
young man, I also proud of the plcturo
and orders it new nupply of prluts two or
three times a year.
The fourth stage of ovolutlon, com
plete European dress, is well shown by
tho photographs of American Horse and
Standing Bear, uud of grim old Stand
ing (.'loud. This veteran warrior was
bo fond of the product of tho pho
tographer's urt that ho ,used to spoiid

Anils and watching with great In
torcst tho "sitting" In tho operating
room. lie was particularly fond of
the photographs of Indian chiefs, and,
knowing tho location of tho largo drawer
In which tlioy arc kept, used to como In
luy after day, bringing along ouo or
mother of his Indian friends to pass a
pk'iisutit hour looking tho pictures over.
Ah 11 rule, tho Indian in it photograph
Hory refuses to display any curiosity
or InteiviU. Ho Is not willing to havo it
ippiur that ho is n tyro In tho art. but
ili hard to nssumo an air of liullfTer
ni'i' lorii of long oxperlonco. Standing
loud U tho ulnglo exception to this rulo
.tiiown to tho traditions of Hell's gallery,
.vlii'ivln several hundred Indians havo
HM-ii photographed, Inqulsitlvcncsa
iltiiuH out in tho old fellow's faco as a
noiloinlniitlng characteristic, and ono is
not Mir prised to hear that whllo his com
unions were Bitting grimly In a corner
of the gallery smoking their long pipes
and occuxlnnally grunting out somo half
expressed comment, Standing Cloud was
moving about Inspecting everything and
nitkiUK tho interpreter no end or ques
tions Notwithstanding his great curl
oiiity. however, nothing could Induce
htm to go into tho "dark room." I'hat
odorous pluco ho ovldontly regarded as
the sent of u black and uncanny art, and
nothing would ho havo to do with It.
Red Cloud and his picturcsquo brethren
do not havo to pay for tho photographs
which thoy get in Washington. Mr.
Boll makes each of his Indian subjects a
present of a dozen cabinets, as ho can
well afford to do, slnco thoro Is a very
good Balo for thoso photographs, particu
larly in Europe England alono buys
thousands every year, and now ordors
are beginning to como In from Paris.
Perhaps the Buffalo Bill rago In tho
Fronch capital may havo something to
do with this.
nosniNO EAGLE.
Ono of tho perquisites of famo Is free
photography. Presidents, judges, sena
tors, congressmen, get their pictures
without price. Bell, Prince, Jarvis and
other leading photographers hero are
constantly sending out invitations to
public men to como for a sitting. As a
rulo tho subjects yield readily, but occa
sionally an obstinato man resists a dozen
solicitations. Just now Mr. Bell Is try
ing to get Postmaster General Wana
maker beforo tho camora. Wanamaker
has had but ono photograph taken of
himself In a dozen years, and says he
will not havo another for a dozen more.
Yet Bell may get him. Ho was three
years In getting a sitting from Mr.
Cleveland, but after tho lato president
had broken tho Ico and scon his pictures
ho becamo positively fond of tho counter
feit presentment of himself and ordered
prints by tho score.
Bell & Princo havo enjoyed a practi
cal monopoly of tho salo of Mrs. Clove
land's photographs from original nega
tives. Mr. Bell says tho salo of Mrs.
Cleveland's pictures has exceeded in
numbers that of any other person In
America, and probably that of any other
person In tho world. Just after tho as
sassination of Lincoln and Garfield thare
was a tremendous demand for their
photographs, but for four years tho sale
of Mrs. Cleveland's plcturo has contin
ued almost without interruption. To
this day orders are received not only
from all parts of tho United States, but
from Canada. Europe and oven South
America. No ouo is competent to esti
mate the number 6old, but it must run
up into tho millions.
"I firmly believe," says Mr. Bell, "one
photograph of Mrs. Cleveland has been
sold for every family In the United
States."
Slnco her marriage Mrs. Cleveland has
probably had a greater number of sittings
than any other woman In America, possi
bly excepting u fow actresses. Bell has
had from her twenty-seven sittings,
and Princo about twenty. In nearly
every caso of a now sitting it was mado
at tho urgent request of Mr. Cleveland
or of friends who desired to havo her
plcturo In a certain costumo or position.
Jlrs. Cleveland was very good naturcd
about It, and, whllo not at all afflicted
with vanity, was willing to sit as often
as sho could by so doing givo pleasure to
her husband, her friends or tho public.
LITTLE I1EAVFK.
Washington photographers say the
salo of Mrs. Cleveland's photograph con
tinues at a larger volume than Mrs. Har
rison's, whllo there is very littlo demand
for Mr. Cloveland. Chief Justice Fuller's
photograph U now selling noxt to Mrs.
Cleveland's, and Is ono of the most popu-
lar pictures over mado In tho gallery,
though still, of courso, far behind Logan,
Sheridan and Grant in aggregate output.
Tho chief justice's many admirers may
bo glad to Itrow that In the opinion of
Operitor Dodgo, whoso opinion suroly Is
woitlt something, Mr. Fuller's- faco is,
after Red Cloud's, tho finest ono from an
artistic standpoint in tho gallery. "It Is
not only a fine face," Bays Mr. Dodgo,
"It Is really n beautiful faco. I llko to
have sittings from tho chief justice. Ho
Is affable, Jocular and withal so lulmtra
bio a subject. And such an Interesting
subject!"
TWO MOONS. AMEIUCAN HORSR.
Tho supremo justices nrc all photo
graphed In their gowns. Usually thoy
como to the gallery In carriages, bring
ing their gowns with them, but shortly
boforo his death Chief Justico Waito
surprised everybody by walking In with
his black gown rolled under Ids arm, a
feat which his oven moro Democratic
successor has Imitated.
Almost without exception tho faces
displayed In this national gallery aro tho
faces of living men, and of men who aro
prominently beforo tho public oyo. It is
strango how completely tho famous man
of ono day is forgotten tho next. Tiie
faces of Logan, Arthur, Grant, Sheridan,
Garfield and Hayes havo disappeared
from vlow, All tho great statesmen of
tho rebellion and reconstruction era aro
without places on theso Ioiik walls. Tho
public, particularly tho plcturo buying
public, I3 notoriously fickle, and the
photograph dealer finds no profit In dis
playing the countenances of fallen stars
and of suns that havo set.
As men disappear, oven though grad
ually, from public notoriety, their pho
tographs aro removed to tho rear of tho
store. Tho back walls represent many
disappointed ambitions, many blasted
career. New men aro continually com
ing forward to take tho place of honor
In tho show window next tho street.
Yet, as Mr. Bell well remarks, one can
never tell when It will bo necessary to
tako somo faco down from the rear wall
and place It at the very front. An in
stance of this is found in tho caso of
President Harrison. Two years ago ho
was on the back wall. Ho had been de
feated In his coitcst for re-election to
tho senate, had retired from public sta-

tlon to his law office. He was looked
upon, from tho photographcr'6 oint of
view, as a "back member." And yet,
with one turn of tho wheel of political
fortune, he "bobbed up serenely from
below," and nil the world wanted his
portrait. Walter Wcluian.
A llonuirkublo New Hybrid Koto.
Tho agricultural editor of The World
writes as follows about a roso seen re
cently nt the experiment grounds of
Tho Rural New Yorker: It is ono of tho
hybrids resulting from n cross betweon
Rosa Rugosa, n single roso of fivo pink
petals, well known to ovcrybody, and
Harrison's yellow, a soml-doublo sort
equally familiar. The flower of tho now
hybrid is almost Identical in color and
fragrance with that of Gen. Jacqueminot.
It Is of medium sizo aud quito double. The
bush is entirely hardy, with leaflets larger
in sizo than tho mother plant, Rugosa,
and of texture somewhat similar. It is
also a perpetual aud prolific bloomer.
The specimen sceu, a bush about four
feet high, had on it at ono timo by actual
count over ono hundred and fifty buds.
This rose Is not only romarkablo as tho
result of a highly interesting experiment,
but becaUM? it promises to be of great
practical valuo, filling as It docs tho pop
ular demand for a hardy, perpetual and
prolific bloomer of roses attractive in
color uud odor
