'HUMPTY DUMPTY"
DIED A PAUPER
Greatest Clown in World
Accepted No Charity

cagu.--Tony Deniers body is
coming to his home town, Chicago.
The remains of the worlds greatest
clown will be buried at Roschill Gem
etery beside the resting place Of his
wife and daughter.
Tony slipped on an icy pavement in
Kingston. n. T.. about two weeks ago.
and died on Saturday. His home in
Kingston was shared by Il great many
other old men, Tony was IS. He
lived at the poorhousc.
An oId.Time Star.
To the present generation the name
Of Tony Dcnicr means little. But
once Tony Denicr was "Humrty
Dumpty." In 1868 Tony and George l..
tOx. another star in the armament of
pantomimc, produced "Humpty
Dumpty' at the old Bowery theater
in New York. The Extravaganza had
what Is probably the longest run ever
enjoyed by any production. Denier
and Fox played "IIumpty Dumpty" for
20 years with Tony In the title role.
Originator Of "SIapstieks.'
In this production were born all the
slapsticks and grotcsqucries which
circus fans laugh at today. All over
America. across Europe, in Australia,
in sections Of Asia. Tony "Humpty
Dumpty" sat on the wall and had n
great fall for the cdification of mil
lions who paid to see all the king S
horses and all the kings men try to
put "liumpty Dumpty" together again.
| After 40 years OF Glowing. Dcnicr
| made preparations for his retirement.
On Wabash avenue. in Chicago, he
built an $4,000 house on an $4,000 lot
adjoining the Auditorium property.
Subsequently he sold the property for
$4,000 and purchased II home on In
| diana avenue, which he filled with art
objects and curios gathered during his
life Of travel.
His wife and daughter had been long
dead. The lonely old clown married
the widow of Dan Sully, the TRACE
dian. Tony's friends shoow their heads
when they heard of the wedding, She
! left him after a while and II was dis
covered that Dcnicr was in want
Then the clown brought suit for sl1,-
900.
A Series Of Falls.
| "IIumrtv Dumpty' took one great
fall after another. When the suit was
! still in the courts he was forced tc
80 to the poorhouse. His friends
tried to make up n purse for him
They remembered the countless ben
Gifts at which he had been the attrac-
ton which brought in the dollars to the
box office.
| But Tony, being a clown, was proud
lie preferred the poorhousc. The
funeral arrangements will be takcr
care of by a committee of the Theat
rical .hechanics association. of which
Dcnicr was at one time grand presi,
dent.

ORIENTAL LABOR UNWISE NOW

The following resolution of the
Lincoln county council of defense
relative to Chinese labor has been
laid before the executive committee
of the state council Of defense:
THAT the Lincoln county council
endorse the plan suggested in other
places to import Chinese or other
foreign labor for farm work, and
that the secretary SO advise the
state chairman"
The subject of the supply of agri-
cultural labor for the next season 10
serious one and the feeling that
there will be a shortage is growing
more and more acute. Other COM
munities beside that in Lincoln
county, though not in so formal a
way, have suggested temporary en-
ployment of Chinese labor.
The state council of defense at its
session on Oct 20 gave some at
tention to the problem, and at a
later date the executive committee
gave the matter still further con-
sideration.
The keenly sensitive to the need
Of providing labor supply in ample
time, yet in the opinion of the state
council of defense and its executive
committee, the importation of
Oriental labor, especially for the
coming season, is wholly out of the
question. The necessary steps to
this end would involve the considera-
