OH, HE HAD MONEY.
A Little Chap From the South With
 Five Cents in His Pocket.

| "A Llttle Cndp From the ooutH Wltu Five Cents in His Pocket. A bright-eyed boy, neatly clad, and apparently about fourteen years old, | entered Tammany Hall at three o'clock yesterday afternoon and inquired of
 half a. dozen men sitting in the outer
 room:
 'Is Judge Lyman F. Warren here?' No one present had ever heard of Judge Warren,'' and all were puzzled by the question. Then the caller who
 was a trife over four feet in height,
 said:
 Maybe he ain't judge. but he's
 big New York lawyer, anyhow and he's
 Tammany Hall man. I come from
 Wilmington, N. c. I saw him down
 there last fall at the Orton House. I
 took supper with him, and he gave me
 five dollars, which I've got yet" and the
 lad proudly produced a bank book on
 the Peoples bank of Wilmington. He
 told me to write to him if I wanted to
 come to New York, and he'd get me position, and maybe send me to college.
 I got a chance to come to New York;
 but I didn't have time to write him.
 I'm George Love Shepard, of Will mington. Sometimes they call me 'Skeeters.'"
 It was learned that the Lyman B. Warren sought by the young traveller was member of the law firm of War ren, Warren X O'Beirne, at 31 Nassau street. Young Shepard was taken there by New York Times reporter. He re- ceived cordial welcome from MT. Warren, who was greatly surprised, however, by his young friends visit.
 Sitting in MT. Warren's private office the little fellow told how he reached New York
 Ever since I talked with you last fall" he said. "I've wanted to come to New York. I was sitting in the Dixie cafe, in Wilmington, one day, and said to some gentlemen there: How I wish I could go to New York; One of the gentlemen spoke up and said: Well, you can go up with me- This was Cap tain PenWel, of the eemasted schooner Emily F. Norton I told my brothers I was going, and they said, 'All right I sailed on December 5.
 We had terrible storms. and were nearly wrecked. They threw lots of the lumber overheard to save the boat, and we lay off Cape Hatteras three days in R terrific storm. Several times they talked of running ashore. When we l reached Red Hook I wanted to come to | New York, but they wouldn't let me, and the captain locked me In a cabin.
 Then we went to Stamford, Conn, where they unloaded the lumber. I | was talking to some men there, and the steward said to me, Shut up, or I'll i .hrow you overboard Then he kicked ne and I ran away. I got policeman Q get my trunk off the schooner. This vas two days after Christmas. We'd ,een more than twenty days coming rom Wilmington.
 "T made speech before the Demo- ,ratic club at Stamford, and they took ID collection for me and gave me a lollar Then I staid at the Hotel Su- ,urban and washed dishes and worked or my board. Thursday the police put ne in the guard house. They said I ad no home. I think it was because I m a southern democrat. They offered o send me back to Wilmington, but I aid, No: I want to go to New York hey got me a ticket and I reached ere this morning."
 How much money have you got?" sked MT. Warren, smiling.
 "Oh, I've got money" said the little alow, cheerfully; I've got a cent. I ,, ad five cents when I got here, My, my!" said Ira D. Warren. . One cent and alone in New York" and a pulled out a five dollar bill and anded it to the little fellow, N The young -traveler, after many arnings from the Messrs. Warren q .arted out to see New York ''We'll look out for you" said Lyman ',
 Warren. Come here early in the f orning and I'll get you position. l. There's your trunk?" Q "Oh, that's down at the police station
