TIE LATE GUsTAyUS d. CARD0Z0,

Mr.. "Gusu Cardozo, ,Chef Permi. Clerk OF the
Ordinance Bureau OF the Mayors ONCE, died at his
residence, No. 443 West Twenty-thir street, ae
four p. M. on Thursday afternoon.
Mr. Cardozo has only been identified with city
politics during the last three years. He was born,
in New York city and educated In Grammar School
No. o. In the Ninth ward. While at school 'Gus,"
as ne was popularity known, gained many prizes.
AMI as he was about to leave school was presented
with an address by his fellow pupils.
Though Mr.. Cardozo had large number OF
friends among the Jewish persuasion, who were
deeply Interested in his future welfare ard who
would probably have pushed him forward lin the
political arena he preferred the modest rewards OF
q business life and forthwith became paxtner I'm

time were In the periumery business In broadway,
near the corner OF Houston street. Through the

some extent account for its great success 1t ap-

interesting to know what amount OF our securities

Germany has, and as VIC are Informed that sub
