Four denths In three weeks was the
tcrrlblo toll of grip on the family and
relatives of James F. Moloney, who Is
now living In this city, tils mint, tho
latest victim, will bo burled tomorrow.
Orlp was the first cause of all the denths.
In every case It developed Into pneu
monia. Tho tlrst victim was William II.
Moloney, 81 years old, nnd a. treat-grandfather.
Ho died on December H after
an attack of grip that left him lifeless
Inside of five days. He died ajahls home.

day his daughter, Mrs Mary Mahnrg, 51
years old, whllo attending tho services,
was taken down with the grip nnd one
week later she died. She had helped to
nurse her father nnd It is thought she
mny have contracted the disease at this
time. She lived at 3iU9 North Sydenhnm

Official Shoe-Shiner "Reappointed" to Post by Mayor
Smith Against Plea of Henry Johnson, Who
"Sho Did Want Dat" Job
An appointment, -regarded as' significant
by politicians, was made today, after a
two-days' hot political light, when Frank
Gnrardlnp was reappointed official boot
black by Mayor Smith.
The nppolntmcnt is only temporary, It
was Bald, but It served to bring lines of
disappointment otf the coal-black face of
Henry Johnson, Janitor 'In Comptroller
Walton's otllce, who was a strong com
petitor for tho office. With the appoint
ment goes the right of admission to the
oillces of tho various city departments
and the Income and revenue accruing
therefrom.
"I nm gladn da Mayor appoint me,"
stated tho successful candidate. "I shine
da shoes of Mayor Ashbrldge, Mayor
Weaver, Mayor Reyburn, JInyor Blank
enburg. Now I shine da shoes of Mayor
Smith. I shine well."
"Ah sho did want dat plum, "-said Hen
ry 8orrowfuly, as be picked up bis kit
and went back to the Controller's office.
The Mayor decllpcd to comment on the
temporary nature of the appointment. Ho
acted through his messenger, Daniel
Webb, who at the stroke of 1! ousted
Henry from the anteroom, where he and
Frank have been hoverjng for the, last
two days, lining up their friends and
brushing shoulders with iQther nervous
candidates fc municipal oillces.
Senator McNIchol and Senator Vare also
declined to comment on the appointment.
Senator Penrose was out of the cltyr"
Frnnk has been tho official mayoralty
bootblack during tho last four admin
istrations. Previous to holding' this office
he shined shoes on tho Piazza del Popolo.
He shines shoes dark as well 'as light
and adds a touch of "dressing."
Friends of Henry, who sought the oN
rice on a "progressive" platform, stated
today that the reappointment of his rival

efficiency as a BootwacK. it lie nau tieen.
