LAUGH ON TAMMANY.

The biggest man In New York city
these days is Maurice +. Holohan who
draws $1,000 n year as president of
the Board OF Public improvements.
Holahan's prominence is due entirely
to his inability to make himself scarce
by flying He did sink through the
fiour but was unable to make good on
the roof.
1t seems that Tammany officials have
taken up the reform movement and
with the object of quieting critical
public a Tammany district attorney
with proper assistants started on a
raid o: the numerous pool rooms and
gaming houses. In one Of these places
Mr.. Holahan was numbered among
the gamblers gathered in the final
round up. A trap door let him through
the floor but the usual exit on the
roof being guarded by the police the
honorable district leader of Tammany
forces was cornered and led off to the
city prison.
Explanations have come thick ana
fast Holahan says he has Maynard
son whom he was watching. but New
York is enjoying the laugh on Tam
many. Among the braves the word ha
been passed that no more waves of re
form shall be started till the,push ha
received the proper tip.

"The Speaker ruled that the confer

was not before the House. and that the
resolution was In order.
