WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC
The official portrait of President Mckin-
ley. recently hung IN the White House. Is
the work of an American woman.
Among the portraits of all the Presidents
thus displayed, It Is the first to have been
executed by a woman, nor is 1t by any
means the least interesting or meritorious.
The appropriation Of & 500 by Congress- for
. portrait OF the late President naturally
excited unusual interest among artists
Many welI-known artistic names were
numbered among the contestants.
The portrait finally chosen among many.
after careful artistic consideration, Is by
Mrs. W. D. Murphy Of New York City.
In her art education and experience. and
in her sympathies. in everything. in short,
but her birth, she is an American.
She was born in England. coming to
America when q mere child.
Her homo was at first In Canada, whence
she was sent to New York to further her
artistic education Her talent was evident
very early, attracting considerable atten-
ton.
Mrs. Murphy cannot remember. she says.

was always drawing so that her talent

Her artistic training and experiences were

In addition to attending the schools she
had the advantage of private instructors
among them Professor Lawrence of Munich.
She has never returned to Europe since
her leaving England. The art galleries and
exhibitions in New York. she says. have
SEPARATION.
She attends them all regularly. sitting for
hours before the canvases to study their
secrets.
1t is, Of course. particularly remarkable
that thus handicapped Mrs. Murphy's
portrait Of President Mckinley should have
been chosen from among the contributions
Of many OF wider opportunity.
The present portrait was painted from
photographs. Not only had Mrs. Murphy
no sitting. but she had never seen Presi-
dent Mckinley.
The accepted portrait is life size and rep
resents the late President holding his
glasses In his left hand and sheet of paper
in the right. a characteristic attitude of Mr..
Mckinley when talking.
His closest friends. Senator Hanna and
Judge Day. passed upon the portrait and
declared It to be an excellent likeness. the
best they had seen of him. a characteristic
and spirited portraiture of the man, ex-
pressing the full power. benevolence ano
fmpressiveness Of President McKinley's re-
markable countenance.
OFFICIAL PRAISE.
On several occasions the portrait has been

statues of Mckinley.
The portrait has Just been hung in the

The quaint Mrs. Wigs. dispenser OF
homely philosophy. comforter Of the lowiy
and friend to dumb animals, will step from
the book to the stage in the person OF
Madge Carr Cook.
Those who have seen Mrs. Cooks por-
trayal Of the mercenary widow in THE

imagine how she viii !mpersonste the Cab

There is very little srt,hciality about Mrs.
Wigs. Her nature is simple and straight
forward and her quips are often funny.
With such a character to develop Mrs.
Cook would seem to have the opportunity

Lie appreciation Of the work
When $3.50 was appropriated by Congress
for the purchase of a portrait of the late
President, Mrs. Murphy submitted her
work.
The Judges were confronted with work
from the brushes OF men whose reputation
in the world of art is uninpeachable.
The Judges were selected as the most
competent men IN the country to judge OF
the merits Of the portrait
The competitors were somewhat taken
aback when the announcement was made
that the work OF q woman had won. in
spite Of the ancient tradition that woman
must always stay in the background Of art
when In competition with men.
When they saw the accepted portrait their
doubts were silenced and they expressed the
utmost satisfaction in the selection.
MRS. MURPHY'S GRATITUDE.
II appreciate the honor Of contributing
to 30 famous collection" said Mrs. Muir
ply In speaking of her success. That my
portrait OF President Mckinley should
have been chosen means, Of course. that
not alone the art critics. but the intimate
friends Of the late President, were pleased
with my effort.
This means much to me. I like to
think that l have caught the character of
the man, the subtle something which finds
expression in the bearing and expression
Of my model.
THE word model is perhaps misleading
I never saw President Mckinley in my
Life.
I'm painting his portrait, therefore, 1

graphs. aided by the impression had
gathered Of his personality.
They tell me that have been happy in
catching this latter, and I can only say
I am very glad.
THE portrait as It now hangs in the halls
OF the White House differs in no essential
from the original sketch submitted by me
In the competition.
The face and figure. in fact. remain cx-
actly as first conceived them and placed
them upon the canvas. The only aItera-

when Senator Hanna and Justice Day
saw the Mckinley portrait the first sug-

formed part Of the background on the
painting be removed and plain dark tone
substituted
THE reasons for the change were very
characteristic. 1t was Senator Hanna who

Among all the portraits Of the Presidents in
the White House found that the flag had
been omitted.
A scroll Of paper was also placed In
one hand, at the Senator's suggestion. The
only other alteration was to slightly re-
duce the waist line. The Presidents friends

HONOR TO WHOM IT IS DUE.

A mortgage burning took place at
the Fifteenth Streen Presbyterian
Church last Friday evening in the
presence of a large gathering of mem
bers and friends The Indebtedness
was paid in full through the generosity
of the late DR.. Dorsey and his widow,
now Mrs. Dorsey Silence. 1t was
through the latter's influence that Dr.
Dorsey joined the Presbyterian Church
and stipulated in his will that the
latter should be a beneficiary and that
the pastor, Mr.. Grimke, was to receive
$4,000 upon the death of Mrs Dorsey.
Through mutual consent the prop
erty has been sold, the church receiv-
ing $4,000 and Mr.. Grimke $4,000.
Too much praise can not be given
Mrs. Dorsey Silence for the generous
spirit which induced her to persuade
DR.. Dorsey to make his provision for
the church and it's pastor, and her will
ingness to sacrifice her life interest
thereby allowing the property to be
sold and the obligation of the congre-
cation met in full.

SOCIETY WITHOUT A COLOR LINE.

Up to last Friday there never had

insurance commissioner for the Dis

a charter duly obtained under the laws
relating to beneficiary societies. and
the system upon which its work is to
be carried on, issued to the knights

transact business The president Of
the order is Mr.. J. w. Kinsley, past
