One Of the bystanders informed the reporter

the money could be plainly seen, and several

the place had provided themselves with thicker
envelopes, and consequently outsiders stood no
show.
The name Of the charity chosen, the .'serva

because Of its resemblance to the name Of the

in this city. From the character Of the hangers
on about the place, and from the fact that Mike
was seen there before the establish

establishment should be left severely alone.
