AN END TO THE LITTLE COMEDIAN IN NEW YORK. Doctors Told the Actor He Had Only Few Days to Live, but He Hemained Cheerful and Brave to the Last. NEW YORK, March "Dan" Daly, the comedian, died here to-day in his room in the Vendome hotel. He had had tuberculosis. several years.

He got up this afternoon, and while dressing was seized with a fit of coughing which brought on a hemorrhage. His wife died two weeks ago in Revere, and he felt the loss keenly. September "Dan" Daly stood in front of the Vendome hotel, where he died to night, and said cheerfully that the doctor had given him days to live. He added to a friend: "If you will accompany me to the booth for liquid refreshment we will pledge confusion to all doctors." HAPPY TO THE LAST. This is how "Dan" Daly, philosopher, comedian, entertainer--literally- of millions, jested of the end which his physicians told him would overtake him soon.

The emaciated little comedian, his shattered by the blows of 1 heart discase first, and tuberculosis later, made a joke of life, drank with his friends and was merry. He added: "They have reported me dying a dozen times, but I've generally managed to turn (k "DAN" DALY. THE COMEDIAN. the joke on them. The joke, like most old jokes, about played out The corner of Broadway and Fortyfirst street, where Hotel Vendome situated, the was called "Dan Daly's his corner." Here comedian passed time and told stories- some of them of the days when Broadway didn't know him, and he was simply struggling variety actor, with three brothers in the same business and a longshoreman father in the home in Boston.

All the brothers are dead now. "Dan" Daly said he never expected a long life- all he asked was a merry one. Daly told a story of his father's persistency in preventing his son's "paper" being disturbed near the old longshoreman's home, The comedian said: "DAD" WAS PERSISTENT. "Right across the street from where dad lived there was an open lot with a high fence running all around it, Of course, we had to have our lithographs on that fence. Dad would sit for hours at a time looking at that 'paper' and taking his oath it was the grandest art work to be found outside of a gallery.

This is what you can do for us, I told the old gentleman, 'we want that paper to stay up as Jong as our engagement lasts, It is a good advertisement for 116. Will you see that 110 one covers it over with lithographs of a rival show? Of course dad promised. "We played Boston in the fall. Next spring after my season was over, I went back to Boston on a visit. The first thing 1 noted about the home neighborhood was that same 'paper' advertising 'the Daly Brothers in It was a trifle rain soaked, but it was all there.

said my dad. after we had shaken hands, 'there's your picters, son. But it was hard wurruk keepin' them up. I've been arrested exactly twinty-two times for licking bill posters that tried to peel it off cover it with other HIS FIRST HIT IN NEW YORK. After this Broadway came to know "Dan" Daly.

He made his first big hit in Merry World." Daly worked in a manner, peculiarly his OWN. He had a nasal drawl that was the funniest thing Broadway had ever listened He never smiled. He vocalized, but wasn't singing. was just a Dalvization of a lyric. It He was surprisingly nimble and graceful, and his acrobatic feats were at once a marvel to the andience and a source of fear to to the company.

He would be seen one minute on the stage, and the next the audience would see him gesticulating 111 an upper box, from which he would descend to the stage with the agility of a monkey. He threw himself around without regard to consequences, and once a fall laid him up for several weeks. Also, he insisted that the others in the company should be equally energetic and fearless of burt. Once he dragged the young woman who was playing 'opposite him through a property window with such violence that her knee cap was fractured. SOME OF DALY'S PLAYS.

Daly was featured in "The Belle of New York." "The Rounders." "The New Clown." "The Lady Slavey," "The New Yorkers" and in "John, Henry." "Dan" Daly was leading man of "Lady Slavey" in Kansas City in 1807. Marie Dresser, the leading woman, was overcome by the arduous character of her work and left the company there.

The Republican county central committeemen of Wyandotte county, held a mecting in Hains's hall in Kansas City, yesterday afternoon and completed an organization for the ensuing two years. Fifty of the sixty-eight committeemen were present. O.

J. Peterson was elected chairman and John Radford, secretary, only one committeeman, George Knapp, voting against them, Mr. Peterson was placed in nomination by B. S. Smith, assistant county attorney.

Mr. Smith called the attention of the meeting to the fact that Mr. had never sought a public office and had declared he never expected to, but that during the eight years he had been at the head of the Republican organization in Wyandotte county, he had made a most efficient chairman, displaying much executive ability. After Mr. Smith had closed his remarks, George Knapp, proprietor of the Labor Record, a weekly newspaper, made a speech bitterly opposing Mr.

Peterson. He declared that by electing Mr. Peterson chairman the last hope of harmony among the Republican factions would be destroyed. He predicted the defeat of the county ticket. He said the "rump" convention followers are strong and determined and would refuse to vote the Republican ticket so long as the present organizations controlled.

He placed in nomination for chairman Henry Dean, but Mr. Dean refused to allow his name to be voted on. After Mr. Peterson had been elected. Mr.

Knapp left the meeting. Mr. Peter5011 was then the unanimous choice of the committeemen. The chairman was empowered to appoint an executive committee consisting of fifteen, one from each ward in Kansas City, one from Rosedale, one from Argentine, and one from each country precinct. Mr.

Peterson said he would announce this committee in a few days. KANSAS PASTOR DEAD. End Came to the Rev. John R. Dailey, Formerly of Ottawa, Yesterday, The Rev.
