The Author or M'Glnty.
The man who anvolved from his
teeming brain the ballad which nar
rates the tumbles taken by Dan Mo
Giuty la probably at the present mo
ment tha most talked about of the
minor poets of America, says the Ko
Chester Democrat ami Vhromfln. "Down
Went McGinty" has arrived at the dig
nity ot being "the" fcag of the day. bo
when the reporter was Informed that
Joe Flynn, the undoubted author of
the most popular song of the season,
was singing It daily and nightly at a
local theater, down went the writer to
the bottom of the hall that connect
the upper tier of dressing-room at the
opem-nouso and found himself In the
awful presence of the original McGinty,
who was engaged in extricating him
self from hi grease paint, prennra
tory to donning "hi best suit ot
dollies."
Mr. Flynn Is a good-looking, black
haired and black-eyed young fellow,
who takes the success of his muse In
the most philosophic and modest man
ner. Uf the origin of the famous song
he said: "If you ever heard the story
of the Irishman who was successfully
onrriod in a hod to the top ot a seven
story building by a friend, as the re
sult of a bet tliat the feat could not be
successfully accomplished, and who re
marked on paying over the money,
Well, Put, ye won 'fairly, but when
yer foot slipped ar the sixth floor, be
jubors, 1 bad hopes!' you know what
suggested the lirst verse ot the song. If
you ever heard the air of the old song
about the old mnn who had a wooden
leg, and who 'had no tobaocy In hi old
tobaocy box,' you can gnus where the
suggestion for the time came from. I
wrote the song some time lust April
and did not think very much of It,
while my partner, Mr. Shoridun here,
thought nothing ot It at all, We tried
It on for tha lirst time at the Provi
dence opera-house. That Important
event took place on tha evening nf May
6 last. The song caught ou at once,
and we, and, as far as I can see, every
song-untl-ilance man, have been sing
ing it ever since. I suppose it took mo
about half aa hour to write the song
after i had got the chorus la my head."
It may relieve mental worrlmont on
the part of somebody to learn that the
way to say Mpwapwa in the true Afri
can style, barring certain nasal embel
lishments, is as though It were spelled
fcuip-wab-pwah.
