Quackenbos, specialist in mental and nervous dis- eases, and professor emeritus of Columbia University, has with the authority of an expert: “The car is one of the most delicate organs eof the human body, but our disregard for its well being through aub- | mitting to barbarous and altogether unnecessary noises cannot fail | to bring about lasting ill effects.

MAN known by the mouth-filling name of Pavel Ivengvited Tchitchikoff travelled from one Russian estate to another im te early years of the nineteenth century, beut on the queerest errand in the world—the buying of Dead Souls, | This sort of purchase was not so gruesome as it may seem. But it wae | one of the eleverest forms of graft that ever mortal man imagined. In Russia, in those days, almost every one of even moderate wealth ; owned a number of serfs, or slaves, These serfs were generally referred to as “souls.” A census of them was required, at long intervals, by the Government, and their owners paid poll_taxé® on them, according to thé numbers enumerated in each census—much as a dog-tax is now levied in rural districts. 1 Serfs, being of cash ‘alue, could be mortgaged Just like ony other articles of personal property. And many a Russian, temporarily hard up, was in the habit of mortgaging his serfs, or “souls,” at $100 each or more. Pavel hit on an improvement for this dea, The censuses of serfs were many years apart. Between censuses thousands of the serfs The Otrangest ied. Yet their namen still appeared on the Govern- Kind of Graft. ment booke, until the next census, as though they were ao ati] alive. It had not occurred to any one to make POAT shay out ot thins. Bik how Pavel naw-e tore in ft, | Pavel Tohitchikoff was a crook, From hood he h rned his briltiant mind toward get-rich-quick schemes. Had he used bait as much in« telligence and Industry along lexitimate lines he might have become a millien- aire. Ae it was, he was always in trouble, and nothing but his razor-keen wit kept him out of jail. Again and again he would make a little mouey by eome crooked deal, only: to lose it all and imperil his freedom, too It was while Pavel was acting as stewatd for a noblena “dead souls” idea came to him Je raised all tie money he | on an 044 journey, At every town or village through ch he passed hi Fichest man of the place and offer to bity all his nerfs who census.

Some to whom he did little favors, gave him the “souls” as a free gift. Other “souls’ he bought at abou: $1 each. In this way Pavel acauired thousands of “dead enule. j In other words, he secured lega) papers that proclaimed lim the rightful owner of slaves who were no longer alive Then he took these papers to the Government—deciarin they, were Hate of | nis mprfs—and negiectiig to mention that all the serfs e dead.

Few can believe that any such feeling will find its way into the action of the authorities. So long as there is any chance of getting Thaw back into Matteawan the State owes it to ite sclf- respect to leave nothing undone to accomplish the task. Now is the time for New York to determine exactly how far its law which calle an insane murderer “not guilty” may under certain circumstances render it powerless to prevent a dangerous man from| becoming « menace to other communities. Now is the time to make an example of all those whose negligence or conspirecy is found to have been in any way responsible for Thaw’s escape. Above all, now ~ ie the time to prove that in its demand for gustice and in its power to back up that demand, the State is more than a match for any man’s money. ones privat _ oH Tammany leaders are beginning ¢o think it might have been wiser to cut out the bleck-fack business and hire somebody to do a “refined! job.
