General Daniel E. Sickles, who was

at the Lansing few weeks ago. is an
object OF constant interest to New
Workers. The papers never let him
alone. Town Topics says:
Freq :enters OF the Metropolitan opera

been familiar with the noble intellectual
beauty OF Gen. Daniel f. Sickles, more
affectionately known as Dan'l OF Posin'.
1t would be impossible for the opera to
proceed without the presence and CO.

statesman. Few people care for the
opera. There is no admirer Of beauty

Posin'. Every heart jumps to the
mouth when the tap, tap OF the hero's
crutches is heard, as he comes into the
