worthy name, charity, would at the same time
bring to herself good financial returns.
Having in due time obtained the chaperon-
ape of the much-sought-for society, the next
important step would be to select thoss chil-
dren who would most likely be willing and
suitable for the allotted parts. The leading
role being one in which skilled dancing was

then that the qualities OF hero was
shown by Stamp, who was falniliarly
called '.Cappy." "Cappy'' left his home,
some miles from here, on each occa-
sion, and came to town, nursing tine
sick. burying the dead and comforting
the bereaved Where the scourge ragged
most Cappy was sure to be doing ali in
his power to alleviate suffering. The
freedom of the city by common consent
was extended to Cappy for his disinter-
ested services. ana nothing was too
good to be offer d him by a grateful
public. Immediately after his death
money was sent to Decatur to ship his
body here, where the man, though pen
niless. was buried with much ceremo-
ny. Funds have been raised, and
magnificent monument is to be erected
to his memory.
