NEW BOILER NEEDED AT PLANT

By Wire to The Sun.
New York, Aug. 11. "Daddy Long-
legs," asithe children called the Sand

erie, was round dead in the flying cage
today. Dtath is attributed to old age,
although po one in the park knows
just how did the bird was. He was an
inmate ofl the menagerie when Mr.
Smith took charge, sixteen years ago.
"Longlegs" was a favorite with chil
dren; but his death will be a cause ot
gladness tw-Bome grown ups, because
his raucous voice could be heard for
three or four blocks. The keepers said
today that the bird had been in his
dotage for a month or more. The
notion came to "Daddy" several times
a day that he had just been in battle
with the big pelican asd had licked
him. At such times he would stretch
his long neck and announce the victory
in a volume of sounds that could be
heard by the guests of the Plaza or
Savoy. He was living, on his mem
ories. He used to fight the pelicans
years ago.
