- NOBLE ACTS. sE
When the ladies and children rushed
forth from the hotel in their night clothes
and barefooted, several gentlemen offered
10 dlYeSt themselves of their. coats and
shoes to shield the poor creatures from the
piercing cold. Mr.. De Lave, of the troupe
now performing at the Theatre, gave his
coat to the wife of Captain McPhail, having
seen that his own daughter was out of dan.
ger, and Mr.. j. E. Towers supplied his
Captain McPhaiPs) daughter with shoes
and carried her to place of safety. Gen
erous merchants sent the sufferers word
that whatever they might need could be
had at their stores, begging that nothing be
said about the money. In marked contrast
to these noble deeds, however, was the con-
duct of well-knoW Wmsary, goods merchant,
who refused to let tufferer have anything
for his family without the cash. It is hard
to resist the temptation to publish the name
of such person. -0-.r !
