YALE MASCOT
RECENT DEATH OF HANNIBAL
REGRETTED BY ALL.
Quaint Old Negro Candy Man Had an
Interesting career-Said to Have
Been More Than a Gen.
fury Old.

The death of Hannibal, the negro
candy man, has left Yale with no mas.
cot but Pop" Warner. the ~cross-eycd
expressman, whose auto truck now
k an official crowd to all the ath.
letic games. Pop" has just made his
debut, and 1t will be years before he
attains the fame of Pop Smith.
"Davy. the candy man. Murray, the
hnckmnn." end Hannibal.
an many respects hannibal was the
most remarkable of the long list Of
Yale favorites. He was gifted with a
versatility granted 20 few men. black
Or white. He was one of the campus
mVorites In 1869, when C. f. Woods
wrote in -Four Years at Yale"
Candy Sans chief rival Is a crafty
black man named Hannibal, whose en-.
trance into the room Is always ac-
companied by some such formula rs:
Not wishing to disturb the gentlemen
In their studies | call to see II either
OF the gentlemen would like to invest
In purchasing from me some packages
OF superior old-fashioned homemade
molasses candy This rigmarole, like
the rest of Hannibal's speeches, is de.
livered with the greatest appearance
or gravity and without pause or In.
lection oi any sort"
Hannibal's age was in DISPUTE. He
was said to have crossed the century
mark. One of his original sayings
when asked how old he was used to be
that he had a faint recollection of
the first thunderstorm In Connecticut.
The mock orations he delivered will
live In the memory of Yale men as
iong as they cherish n recollection of
the un 'yeraity, and harG!y Pr alumnus
will read of his death without re.
calling some anecdote OF the old negro
h sold candy, gave boxing lessons,
sleight OF hand exhibitions, sang and
danced and made speeches on all
occasions.
Early in life he was an instructor
In boxing in the Yale gymnasium. He
was n of the quickest pugilists in
action who ever struck a blow. and he
met George Dixon in several bouts
without the former negro worlds
champion getting the decision. He
was thrown into a room with John l..
Sullivan when that champion was mt
the height of his popularity. John l..
at that time weighed more than $50
pounds. and when Hannibal was asked
II he wished to meet the champion he
answered: Hannibal is not Mahomet,
and must refuse to mix II ZIP with the
mountain"
Approaching a group OF college stu
dents, Hannibal used to say: Not
wishing to interrupt the gentlemen,
and wholly In the search for knowl
edge, which has been my unvaryine
custom through life. I would like ;o
ask the gentlemen here a question
What is the first thing n gentleman
puts OIL when he gets up In the morn
ing?"
Everybody took a chance I'm an
swering, and when all had finished
Hannibal would say: Not wishing t.
place myself above the gentlemen
present in knowledge, l beg to say
mat all you gentlemen are wrong. Thu
hrst thing n gentleman puts on in the
morning Is his foot-on the floor"
HIS Latin orations we're his spe
cialities. He had attended commence,
ments half n century ago.. had learned
by heart some of the addresses uLl
had copied the pronunciation OF the
speakers.
