Than one in 1000. So far from thinking or
saying that the world is becoming insane.

STUCK TOGETHER IN FRAME
The Face Behind Portrait Of Captain
John Percival Unknown TO Those Who
Have Seen 1t - Secretary Long Is
Puzzled.

An oil portrait OF the eccentric and
gallant Capt. John Perciyai. which was
presented TO the Navy Department by
Mrs. William Nicholson. was sent recent
ly by Secretary Long 10 a local art deal
e. TO be cleaned and reframed. The dealer
sent back the portrait Yesterday. and with
1t an unmounted canvas containing the
portrait in oil OF handsome young man
with flowing black locks. attired in the
civilian costume of the early days of the
nineteenth century. The dealer explained
that he had found this canvas attached TO
the back OF Captain Percival S portrait.
Some of the paint adhered to the Prrcival
picture and partly disigured the face OF
the young subject. but the newly discov-
cred portrait is in good state Of pres
ervation. Nobody at the Navy Depart
ment knew of the existence of the second
painting. and no one is able to explain
the mystery OF its concealment. Secre-
tary Long is anxious to find out who the
young man was.
Captain Percival was known in the
naval service as Mad Jack This was
on account of his eccentricity and disre-
gard for convontionslity. professional and
social. He was born in Barnstable. Mass.
in 1719, and died at Roxbury, Mass. in
1862. He served through the war of 1872,
and was retired in 1S4S.
naval officer yesterday recalled the
following incident in Captain Percivars
career:
When Mad Jack" he said, was in
Egypt he received orders from the Navy
Department to bring home a cargo of
Egyptian asses for breeding purposes
Captain Percival regarded this mission
as almost insulting. but he was too good
an officer to disobey orders, so he shipped
the cargo. When the ship entered New
York harhor Percival had all the guns
withdrawn from their ports, and at each
portfolio he caused one of the asses to
be tied so that a donkey's shaggy head
and long ears gazed out of every gun

sailed up the bay and through the East

Treasury Medal and Praise From Su-
perintendent of the Service.

Good, of this place, in addition to being
awarded a life-saver's medal by the
Treasury Department. has received q let
ter from the general superintendent of the
Life-Saving Service, highly commencing
his courageous act.
On July 4, 1860, Good, who is twenty

little naphtha launch during a severe
storm. near the Breakwater, when he
saw small sailing vessel with eleven
people on board being blown along in the
teeth OF the gale. Good started out alone
TO the rescue, but before he could reach
the spot two members were drowned, but
the other nine were clinging to the sides
of the overturned boat. Stopping some
little distance from the wreck, he coolly
made the party a speech, in which he
said that he could only take three per
sons in his launch, aud said the weak
est should be the ones to get aboard
He told the others if they would cling
10 the sides OF the boat he would tow all
TO shore. and. in spite OF one OF the fierc-
est squalls ever known On the bay, he
rescued the entire party.
General Superintendent Kimball, in
commenting upon the heroism displayed
said: 1T was all the more courageous
when it is considered that Mr.. Good
could not swim stroke"

MI Frye Causes Diversion.
President Pro TEN. Frye caused a di-
version at the close OF the cession by
proposing to refer the House Chinese ex-
clusion bill just passed to the Committee
on Foreign Relations.
For a moment there was no comment
on this, but Senator Penrose, chairman of
the Committee on immigration. which
has been considering the Senate bill fp-
ally made objection, as did other Senator's.
Mr.. Frye stated that in his opinion the
Senate bill also should have been referred
to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
He did not offer to recede and stated that
the Senate should decide.
Mr.. Gallinger was in favor OF the new
reference, as was Mr.. Foraker, but they
made no argument of the case, and by a
viva voce vote 1t was decided that the
House bill should follow the Senate meas
ure to the Committee on immigration.
This action of Mr.. Frye was supposed
to indicate that he Is with the weII-de-
veloped opposition to the bill. II is real

such bill as that now before the Senate.

Senator Perkins made a long speech in

asserted that the Geary law has not sue
