Allan Cunningham, in his olives of

eccentricity of his sitters.
A certain man had himself, his wife
and seven children painted by Copley

man, on seeing the finished picture,
"and that is the portrait of my first
wife-this one is my second.
"But,' replied the artist, "she is
dead. What can do? She must come
in as an angel.
"Oh. no; no angels for me. She
must come in as woman"
The portrait was added, but several
months elapsed before the man again
called at Copley's studio, and when he
did, strange lady held on to his arm.

The painter introduced the likeness

his three spouses But the lady remon-
strated. Never was such thing heard
of. Her predecessors must go. The
artist painted them out; then the man
disputed the price. Copley sued him,

signalized his call to the bar by gaining
his father cause.

C0GHLAN REPEATS IT.
Willing to Stand by His Union
League Club Speech.
WANTS HONOlS FOR DEWEY.
At n Reception ut the Army and
Navy Club In New York He Ex-
presses a Willingness to Reit-
crate His Previous Remarks.

New York, April 24.-Captain Joseph
B. Coghlan and the officers of the Ra-
leigh We're the guests of the Army and
Navy club Saturday night The captain
made a speech, in which he reiterated
everything he had said about the Ger
mans the night before at the dinner
given in his honor at the Union League
club. His utterances were cheered to
the echo by the 300 members and in
vited guests who had assembled to greet
him.
Captain Coghlan was escorted to the
club from the Waldorf Astoria by
committee composed of the following
army and navy officers Brigadier Cen
eral Gilbert McKibbin. Captain Richard
Leary. lately appointed governor of
Guam; General w. ID. Whipple and
Paymaster George Barton. A reception
committee of 20 received the captain
upon his arrival. General Fred Pierson,
president of the club, welcomed the
guests as follows:
when the first gun was fired at Ma
Mia, 1t was like the first gun at Sum-
ter. 1t ushered in a new era for the
United States. That grand old man Ad
miral Dewey has planted the stars and
stripes in the far east, and we all want
them to stay there. The flag is the en-
blem of Christianity and good govern
ment. l now take great pleasure in in
Producing our esteemed guests, Captain
Coghlan and his officers Of the United
States cruiser Raleigh"
Captain Coghan had evidently ex-
pected to be let off without speech,
but his admirers wouldn't have it so.
He said:
Reiterntes His Statement.
Il thank you sincerely for myself and
officers and my commander, Admiral
Dewey. Since entering the club | have
been Informed that my remarks last
night have given offense in Washing
ton. For that reason | am almost
afraid to say anything now. What l
did say last night was true. J. said
what I did about certain power be-
cause it's representatives hampered US
in our work. They We're continually
naggng us, d-n 'em, and we We're
ready for them. l have read a good
many stories in the newspapers about
what Admiral Dewey had to contend
with but not one of them placed our
gallant admiral in the proper light"
Good good" yelled the Army and
Navy men with glee.
Il will reiterate everything | said last
night if any one is anxious to hear it..
| spoke as | did because | wanted to
place Admiral Dewey in the proper
light. Any one who knows him knows
that he can stand annoyance patiently
and bide his time. l always did think
and always will that we We're that close
(snapping his fingers) to crushing them.
No man is more capable. more ready to
uphold the honor of our troops than
Admiral Dewey. Whatever the occa
sion he always rose superior to it, We
at home may make mistakes in telling
about what occurred, but he never
makes a mistake"
Captain CoghIan's remarks were fire.
quently interrupted by cheers, and
when he concluded he was cheered
again and again. Captain Richard
Leary and Captain F. G. Wildes also
spoke.

NICkNAMES OF REGIMENTS.

Every regiment in the British army has
its nickname, and some Of them are of eX-
tremely curious Derivation.
The Seventeenth Lancers, for example,
are knoWn as Death or Glory Boys
They have another designation, not so ia
miliar, "Bingham's Dandies," from a re-
mark made by William IN, concerning
the perfect fit Of their uniforms.
Who are the ''Picatlilly ButcheIs?"
The First Life Guards are hardly recos-
nizable under that appeliation which has
stuck to them since the early part of the
century. When they We're engaged in
quelling a riot. The .Oxford Blues" are
not 50 difficult to guess at; the Horse
Guards received this name partly from
the color Of their uniforms and partly
from the fact that their first commander
was the Earl of Oxford.
The Eleventh Tussars are known as
the Cherry Pickers," or .C~herubins."
The regiment owes its nickname to the
color OF the mems trousers. 'Hamilton's
RunaWays' is not 4 title to be proud of,
but, like all bad names, it sticks; the
present Fourteenth Hussars, the success
sors of the Light Dragon Regiment.
which earned it, certainly do not deserve
it.
The Royal Scots. the Oldest infantry
corps in the army. are knowns as "Pontius
Pilates B~odyguard.' The origin Of this
nickname is said to be the following: In
the year 1857, when in the French service.
a dispute arose between the corps Chen
called the Regiment &c DouSlas) and the
Picardy Regiment as to which was the
older. The latter ass ted that they had
been on duty the night after Crucifixion
WiiereuDon the former retorted. Had we
been there we should not have slept at
our post"
TIL Norfolk Regiment is called the
"Holy Boys" Gas the story goes) they
sold their Bibles in the Peninsula. to
purchase drink. The men of the York
shire Regiment ar known as %'.Snapprs,'
because in the American war they con
tinued to snap their muskets after they
had used all their ammunition.
The "Haver-Cake Lads are the men
of the First Battalion of the West Rid
ing Regiment: it was customary i'll by
gone times for he sergeants to beat up
recruits with a have kim of oat cake)
on their swords. The Second Battalion

ed elephant on the colors.
The First Battalion of the South Stat

Investigate Its Stability

New York. Dec. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Instruc-
lions have been sen to Minister Powell at
Port au Prince directing him to proceed
to Santo Domingo and make an inves-
tigation to discover the stability of the
imines government. He will also make
representations to learn the governments
intention in regard to the agreement with
the American syndicate which controlled
the finances of the government under the
late President HeureuX. While such reyo-
buttons are generally recognized, it is ex-
tremely doubtful that this government
will recognize President Jimines' admin
istration. The authorities are determined
that the change of government in Santo
Domingo shall not prejudice American
concessions and it is in pursuance of this
demonstration that Minister Powell has
received the representations Indicated. IT
is expected the moral effect Of the repre-
sensations will be sufficient. The republic
of SantO Domingo has been financed in
Wall street by a syndicate Of Americans,
known as the SantO Domingo Improve
ment company. since 1898. One Of the
leading spirits Of the syndicate is S. nj.
Weed. This syndicate collects the Gus

Henry c. Payne of Wisconsin tele-
graphs at length, protesting against the
policy which allows one republican in
Mississippi 40 times as much voice in
naming a candidate as one republican in
the state of Illinois," He say it is oppor
tune that this change in representation
should be made at the coming republican
convention for the reason that there will
be only one candidate for the nomination.
He says that it is impossible to bring
about the change when several candidates
are seeking a nomination.
United States Senator N. B.. Scott, ma
tional committeeman for West Virginia,
faVors a change. He says that in West
Virginia a county receives representation
in state conventions in proportion to the
republican or democratic vote cast at tina
previous election and he thinks the same
rule should apply to states represented
in a national convention. w.
L. f. Hubbard, national committeeman
for Minnesota, says, that the present
basis is wrong because Minnesota, which
cast 193,5O1 votes for Mckinley, has but
Is delegates to a national convention,
while Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Geor-
sia, Louisiana. Mississippi. and South

man for New York, says that he will vote
in favor of a change on the basis of rep
resentation at the meeting of the national
committee.
