IT is a singular comment on the per-
verified civilization of the age, that Van
derbilt's body, buried in the expensive
mausoleum erected for the family, has
to be guarded constantly by armed men
to prevent some rascal from stealing
1t in order to secure a large sum from
the relatives for its restoration. Had
there been a little more enterprise on the
part of the police in following the rob-
bers of the A. T. Stewart grave, the
danger would not be so great. The par
tics that attempted the robbery of Lin
coins grave were also never brought to
justice. Grants grave is also constantly
guarded. If this sort of thing keeps on,
cremation will have to be adopted by
the people of this country as the only
inexpensive recourse against cemetery
blackmailers.
