Albany, Feb. % tSpeciaD.-A practical joke or
such huge proportions was played on Assembly,
man Isidor Cohn of the With District, New
York recently, that he has not yet fully grasped
ali its details. 1t all came about from Mr..
Cohn's ambition to become philanthropist. On
hearing of a dance which was to be given at
Cohoes, Mr.. Cohn conceived the idea Of inviting
UP twenty-five couples from New-York, from
the elite society of DE Ate At the same time
he would pay off a few campaign debts and
strengthen his fences for reelection.
With such a benefcent purpose, Mr.. Cohn
drew heavily on his savings bank account,
bought fifty tickets to the dance, and exhibited
them to his fellow Tammany Assemblymen. He
then dilated on the beauties Of the bellies Of
Cohoes and went 'nto intricate details in
