Tale Of a Shirt.

IT see that story is going the rounds
in which Garrett A. Hobart, the Repub-
lican nominee for Vice-President, figures
as the principal participant" said Col.
Flower, of Kewanee. ION the night after
he had been nominated as the tail of the
Republican kite, Mr.. Hobart hustled to
the Planters Hotel. He barred the
doors, shaded the windows, looked under
the bed and then away from the madden
ing crowd he took off his shirt. He
threw the shirt in the closet. The mex.
morning he put on clean shirt, and later
started for New Jersey, the land OF lts-
citus peaches and big mosquitoes. Al
few days afterwards the chambermaid
found the shirt in the closet. She gave
it to the head porter who sent it to the
laundry. In due time the bundle came
back. 1t lay uncalled for in the office one
day last week, when the chief clerk had
it opened. He didn't try on the shirt,
but he nearly had fit just the same. On
the collar band in indelible letters were
the words, Garrett A. Hobart" A COM
Earison Of the register showed that the
inscription was In the handwriting of the
Vice Presidential candidate. The news
of the shirt being in possession Of Charlie
Field, the Planters Hotel clerk, spread
throughout the city, and tell you

A London dispatch of the goth ult.
says: ~
John Daily, the Irish state prisoner,
who was sentenced to penal servitude
for life In 1883, on charge of COM
pl:city in an alleged plot to blow up the
house of commons, was released from
Portland prison today.
As might be expected from his long
confinement and the savage prison treat
mHnt to which all the Irish political
prisoners were subjected, John Daily is a
complete physical wreck. Those who
knew him personally before his arrest.
will remember that he was, physically,
splendid specimen of mankind when
he entered the prison. tall, strapping,
athletic fellow. Now, he walks totter-
ingly; and 1t is the opinion of the doc
tors who saw him on his release that he
will be hopeless invalid for the re-
mainder of his days.
His brother. James Daily, who is q
we'll to do returned Australian, has taken
him In charge.
John Daily declined to say anything re-
specting his prison experience to the
press representatives who talked with,
him after his liberation, lest 1t might in
terfere with the release OF the remaining
political prisoners But with reference
to DIR. Gallagher, he declared: S:
CDR. Gallagher is insane as the result
of his horrible confinement. He has had
to be kept perpetually under surveillance
lest he should harm himself. He cannot
be released until some one comes for
ward to take charge OF him during the
voyage to America.

is also In bad health, but his mind is

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.

A TOUCHING TALE OF A GOOD LITTLE GIRL
Little Lobelia Duganheiner was the only
daughter of naughty but humane parents.
They resided IN magnificent mansion on
Fifth avenue, south, and little Lobelia
used to spend most of her time in the tan
gled forests near by. During the summer
months she paid out of her own pocket
money sufficient to enable ten deserving
policemen TO take the Kneipp cure, and
many a time and oft while disporting in
the wildwood she'd pick up tired tumble
bug and sooth it gently. These instances
are given to show how little Lobelia Du-
ganheimer was kind to all animals.
And when winter came and Lobelia read
that the weather bureau predicted mild
and open weather for it she would go to
the Coal trust and tell it's magnates they
must reduce the price of anthracite or she
would be real mad at them. And these
dear, kind gentlemen, who were only in
business to make other people happy, would
reduce the price from $50 to 90 cents a
ton.
Every day she used to walk up from her
home on Fifth avenue, south, to West One
Hundred and Seventy seventh street and
there feed hot mince pie to the sparrows
Her parents used to watch her doing this
from the porch of their home and say to
her, Why doest thou thus, Lobelia2' (The
Duganheimers were Spaniards and always
talked this way when they had company
And little Lobelia would pick up the meg
aphone she always carried with her and
answer back, 3. Cruel Colonel Waring has
the poor little sparrows hUstling SO these
days that some one must either feed them
or else get the Charity Organization soci-
ETY. to furnish them with soup tickets, and
so I look after them Just like dear, kind
old Uncle Russell Sage and kind hearted
Aunt Hetty Green feed and look after the
deserving poor.'
And when Mr.. and Mrs. Duganheimer
heard little Lobelia answer them back this
way through the megaphone their eyes
filed with tears and they said, When she
gets old enough, we viii send her to some
select seminary where she can learn gen
eral homework. y
But, pending this, they took her up to
Broadway and let her look at the cable
cars, and that night her mother cut down
d pair Of her papa s old pants and made
natty boomers for little Lobelia, working
across The quarter deck of the same in
Nensington art stitch, these words, For
