What is this newspaper about?



Item # 701797

February 22, 1896

THE YALLER DOG, Philadelphia, Feb. 22, 1896  A most unusual newspaper about which I can find nothing. It appears to be a comic newspaper based on the content. The dateline notes: "Born in the Pen and Pencil Club, Philadelphia, at 6 p.m., February 22, 1896. Died early on the morning of February  23. No Inquest".
This comment would seem to indicate this was the only issue published. There is no volume or issue number noted in the masthead.
An eight page newspaper, some wear at the margins & the folds, with fold rubbing, some foxing.
