incorrect article that appeared in ono
of the papers of this city. The names
of Homer. Dante, Virgil and Shakes
peare are not only represented, but
are given the most conspicuous places.
That the reporter who wrote the ar
ticle should not have seen them seems
almost inconceivable. The papers of
the next day made fun of him, of
course, but these you appear not to
have seen.
