on the way to the political burying ground
Nathan Straus suddenly realized that he was
the central feature II the funeral. and the neat
ness and Dispatch with which h. slid out OF the
bearsc aroused the admiration Of the pall-bearers
and other nourners. At the same time, they
were not pleased at having to supply another
corpse for the obscqucs.

Parks may therefore reasonably hope to be the
Tammany candidate for Alderman in the XIIIth
