1t is thought that Charles Wesley War

orator. styling himself Rev. j. A. Copeland,
who has been figuring in some Of the towns
and cities North. At a place called Avon,
as we learn from an article in the Rochester
IN. Y. Erprcss, he became very much in
censed at the criticisms of the editor of tho
local paper and abused him outrageously In
one of his harangues Another paper
speaking of the affair, says: 1T is, as We
have before said, unfortunate for the cause
that such men as this Copeland ever interest
themselves in this Temperance work They
do more harm in few hours time than a
dozen whisky dealer can do in months
They disgust decent people with the subject,
anu bring odium upon all who have anything
to do with them" 1t will be remembered
that Rev f. A. Copeland" was one OF the

ARTISTS MODELS IN New YoRK.-lt

was not so long ago that artists IN Boston
had hard time to find models as they some
times have to find gold. Nude models,
mean There used to be but two female
models one of great fat woman, another
very thin. For long time the Academy of
Design fought against lite class, but final
ly had to give in. The Cooper Institute
schools of art still hold against the innova-
ton. think that to propose nude model
to Peter Cooper would be enough of shock
TO cause his death. The Art Students,
league has life models, and the artists find
no trouble in getting them for their studios
Another hard struggle was for lady artists
to get models. Women who would pose
for women. | know Of an instance of a
model who always wore veil over her face
when she sat for ladies', but took it off when
she sat for men. Her reason for this was
that women would point her cut on the
street. if they chanced to meet her, as our
model, , while the men would not think of
her at all Models are not necessarily de
praved women. Some of the best in our
city are quiet modest girls, who have been
brought up to the profession. as were their
mothers before them; and they look upon
it ulerely in a business light. They are
modest Germans and Italians. American
models as a genera, thing, come from
lower order of society. 1t is no easy thing
sition for half or three quarters Of an
hour, and see if You can do it. You would
break down in less than quarters of that
time Models are allowed a rest of twenty
minutes between their sitting, and during
this time they generally wrap "a shawl
around them and retire to another room.
One model [ know of Is an exception to this
rule. She poses for a class OF ladies', and
when her rest time comes she steps down
from the platform IN all the simplicity OF
Mother Eve, and rakes the fire and puts on
coal. Then she sits cross-legged on the
edge Of the platform and reads story pa
per. A friend Of mine wanted to get some
private sittings from her, she said, Il
wish you would come to me after you are
dressed. | want 10 speak to you. 1t
isn't worth while waiting for that, replied
the model. III come to you now;' - and
with that she tripped jauntly across the
floor, treading her way IN and out among
the artists without an article of clothing on.
Il want TO have you sit for me at my studio;
what are your terms for private sittings?
inquired my friend, little non plusSed.
''Oh. we won't quarrel about terus," said
the model, with iaunty air But wish
to know beforehand" insisted my friend.
We'll, then said the model, fifty cents
an hour to ladies. and dollar an hour to
sealed, and she skipped lightly back to the
platform, humming a tune Not long ago
a well-known and favorite model made her
debut upon the theatrical stage, playing
leading lole with a great deal OF promise.
1t is not such an uncommon thing one
might suppose for an artist to marry his

this has occurred and they have made model
