THE LAST CHARGE OF MORRISANIA’S ANCIENT GOAT, SAMUEL J, TILDEN, Samuel J. Tilden, a’ gray and decrepit goat, who many years ago, in the summertide of his life, swayed the destinies of all the small boys and peanut dealers in Morrisania, is no more. He was elected by an up- rising of the authorities to the Public Pound, and he bore ever afterward on his venerable flank the direful marks ‘* P. P.” Sammy had become so old that his friends had counted him as out of the gay and inno- cent society of other Morrisania billies until last Sat- urday night, when the elderly and horned goat devel- oped such a mine of wickedness that the police of the Thirty-third Precinct went gunning for him with army revolvers, Antonio Perugoni Sporza, the sole proprietor of an apple and banana stand at the junction of the South- em Boulevard and Third ave., has customers who have the evil habit of throwing banana skins on the sidewalks. Sammy has often found a delectable re- past on the skins, and has eyed the tempting bunches of the rich red fruit with a covetous eye. On Satur- day A. P. Sporza found it necessary to leave his stand and enter into converse with the bridge-keeper. He returned inten minutes and found Samuel J. Til- den demolishing the stem of a bunch of bananas which had been appraised by Mr. Sporza at $1.85. Sammy was réasoned with by means of a bale-stick, which induced him only to charge upon Mr. Sporza and to land him finally on the top of his peanut stand. Then Sammy proceeded to masticate the banana stem. The cries from the midst of the stand brought Officer Mulcahy to the scene of the conflict and Sammy was confronted with the majesty of the law. Nothing daunted, the veteran goat charged Mulcahy and put him to rout, chasing him until the policeman took refuge within the bridge round-house. Then Sammy sat on the door-sill wagging his horns at the officer until ‘the limb of the law ” unlimbered his revolver and discharged seven half-ounce bullets into his body. Bananas and lead did not seem to mix well, for Samuel J. Tilden suddenly died. But the fame of his heroic deeds will be noised abroad and the on- slaught of Samuel J. Tilden on the majesty of the law will remain a by-word of courage in the annals of Morrisani: The Tribune. Oakley's Extract—Violette. Oakley's Extract—Lily of the Valley. Oakley's Queen Cologne.
