The Mckinley PORTRAIT.
PAINTING OF M4RTYRED PRESI=
DENT HANGS ~ The WHITE
HOUSE.
Artist Murphy. Hitherto Unknown,
Paints This Portrait Without a
Sitting ard rom Photographs Only.
b. francis 3, Gessne.

It IS somewhat remarkable that the
portrait of President Mckinley that
now hangs in the White House was
painted by an humble and hitherto IN
Known artist in New York to whom
the President never accorded a sitting.
The lamented Mckinley did pose for
famous artists of Europe and the best
portrait painters OF our " country,
yet il remained for Mr. William D.
Murphy, OF New York, to produce with
the aid only of photographs the one
portrait Of Mckinley most acceptable
TO the family and friends. More than
that, il was considered the most de-
sirable n 10 be hung on the historic
walls Of the White House.
Mr.. Murphy has a modest little STU
do at II East Sixteenth street, New
York, just on Union Square. He had
achieved some local fame az a pains
taking portrait painter, but had never
dreamed OF having a picture hung in
the White House along with portraits
done by the most famous artists of sew
eral generations. After the terrible
tragedy at Buffalo, Mr.. Murphy made a
collection of the Presidents photo
graphs, together with information as
TO coloring and aided by Mrs. Murphy,
who is also an artist, produced a pic
ture in pastel. When the picture was
finished Mr.. Murphy made efforts to
have Abner Mckinley, the brother of
the President, see and criticise the
work. Finally the artist had an in
teryiew with Colonel Wilbur C.. Brown,
Abner's business partner and who had
been very close TO the beloved Chief
Executive. Il was after much plead
ing that Colonel Brown consented to
bring Abner to the studio. Neither had
eve heard of Murphy. They had seen
a hundred portraits of Mckinley, good,
bad and Indifferent, and were them
selves Indifferent, the more so because
they knew that this unknown artist
had never been given a sitting. How
ever his pleadings were SO earnest
that they finally went to the studio.
The picture was unveiled and the
brother stood amazed and startled, as
il the dead had suddenly ONE to life.
Tears came to the eyes of Abner and
the eyes Of Colonel Brown. They gazed
in silence for a time, and then the
brother said, THAT is the best portrait
Of dear VIII that | have ever SEEN"
Colonel Brown said the same, and
both advised the artist TO put the con-
ception in oil and compete for the hon.
or of having it hung in the White
House. Mr.. Murphy did SO, aided by
his wife, and it was chosen in prefer
ence TO the hundred or more paintings
