The farce OF investigating the charges
against the New York police has begun
and Captain Doherty Is the first upon the
list to face his accusers. The shake down
may amount to shake up and that Is
about all 1t will amount to. Tammany Is
the tail and New York is the dog and the
trouble is the tail wags the dog. The cap

and the charges preferred against
him are that on two separate
and distinct occasions he accepted
twenty FIVE dollars hush money, and that
he was cognizant of the reputation Of the

continue until all the stock damaged by

Crowds continue to visit the Boston
Shoe Store, of which San Souci Brothers
are the hustling proprietors, for the great
fire sale Is still on and the people are COM
