Would Have to Ask His Wife.
From HE Nelp York T5.jb,,,,e


On recent day Mr.. Cox, of New York, en-.
tertained the House with his views of the bill
which proposes to give the bodies of paupers to
medical colleges for dissection Mr. Cox favor
ed the passage of this bill on the ground that it
was in the interest of the living more than in the
interest of the dead.
Il favor it, said he, because of the changes
that take place in our mortal sphere. The body,
which is mere shadow of the life, is of little
consequence, compared with that life
Il am not insensible to the preservation of the
form itself. Who that is human could do other
wise? If, then. we would preserve the memory
of our dear and dead friends. with their features
in deathess picture, and since we cannot have
them in marble and only in dust, let their health
and safety in life be our chief anxiety in legis-
lation, even as in our homes.
Let US care for them in such a mode by law
that they may be long with us here, assured
that they have a life beyond life-an immortal
ity rather than life"
At this point Mr.. Taulbee. of Kentucky. asked
Mr.. Cox if be would he willing that his own
body should be given to medical colleges, and
Mr.. Cox promptly replied with twinkle in his
eye:
I would have to ask my wife about that"
OF course this brought down" the House.

The SpOOk Business.

The public doesn't take as much interest
in spiritualisIn as it did few years ago
The belief is quite general that those who
pretend to be able to raise ghosts and make
them paint pictures, carve out Of stone
pieces of statuary and shake hands with
those who seek to hold communication with
them, are frauds.
New York city has been considerably in
terested during the last week or two III the
statements of a millionaire lawyer named
Marsh, who declares that he is a firm be-
lever in spiritualism, and asserts that spirits
visit his house and paint wonderful
pictures. He has installed as a member of
his household a fat medium, who is known
as Ann DiSs Debar, and to her he has decided
his handsome residence and proposes tie give
her the greater part of his property. Law
yer Marsh has no doubt that the daubs
which he exhibits as the work of the spirits
were painted by them, but his friends have
no doubt that they were painted by the Diss
Debar woman's husband, or by some strug
Cling artists from whom she purchased
them.
1t seems strange that any one, particu-
iai ~ man OF dDlJlJy ana WlQe dcQudlnU
ance with every day affairs, such as law
yer Marsh is represented to be, should be
taken in by such a transparent fraud
More than quarter of a century ago a
medium in New York attracted some at
tention by pretending that the spirits pro
duced certain pictures which she exhibited
as their work One of tho believers in
spiritualism, having some doubts about the
truth Of the mediums story, made an in
vestigation, and be discovered the shop
from which the pictures were purchased
An exposure followed, and the medium dis
appeared from public view.
On last Sunday night in Chicago a
"spook" fake was exposed. A number of
policemen in citizens clothes attended
seance of the Bangs Sisters, who had &C
qulred quite reputation as spiritualstic
mediums. One of the features of their
seances was an Indian princess who ma
terlalized and capered around among the
audience. The policemen captured the
princess. She turned out to be one of the
Bangs Sisters
There are so many of these exposures
that 1t is remarkable that intelligent people
should be deceived by the ghost-raising
spook-materializing business.

People who were confined in Libby prison
seem to have tender affection for that
structure. Mr.. Hallowell, who has charge
of the removal of the old prison from Rich
mond to Chicago, says the new owner has
been besieged with applications from parties
wishing to buy relics of the building. An
officer who was confined there offers $50 for
a post upon which he carved his name. An
other offers $500 for the tablet which was
placed in the building when it was first
erected, and hundreds of others wanC a
brick or a lath or some like souvenir. The
demand is so great that Mr. Hallowell
thinks he will have to build stockade
around the house before it is taken down.
He is afraid the whole building will be
stolen before it reaches Chicago. Nobody
would care much if it were.

Jacob Sharn,s Case.

The probability that the great alleged
briber of the New York city Doodle Alder
men, Jacob Sharp, will ever be sent to the
penitentiary is very remote There is now
pending motion for change of venue in
his case. He wants to be tried outside of
the city of New York, because he believes
that the newspapers of that city have so
preJudced the Teople against him that he
cannot have a fair trial But the people in
all other parts of New York State, and of
the whole country for that matter, know
pretty nearly as much about his case as the
people of that city do.
The chances are that the motion for
change will be granted, and then there will
be other motions which will delay the trial
The pending motion will not be heard until
next week, and it may not be heard even
then. There is no doubt that Sharp is a
very sick man, and that he is liable to die
any day. What his lawyers are fighting for
now is time. They don't want any more
time in which to prepare for a trial, but
time to permit their client to die respectfully
in his own house and in his own bed
Had Jacob Sharp been poor man he
would have been in the penitentiary long
before this, because he would not have been
able to employ the best legal talent to be
obtained for money to point out to the
highest court the errors that were permit
ted in the trial court.
The fact that he has thus far escaped pun
ishment for his alleged crime, however, is
no reflection upon the law or the admins
tration of justice. He was tried in the
same way that a common tramp would
have been, but his wealth enabled him to
show that he had not been legally tried.
The precedents which have been made in
his case will no doubt be of great benefit to
many poor men who may be charged with
crime. Sharp's fight against conviction,
therefore, while it Is made wholly in his
own interest, will be of great benefit to
other men who may be accused of crimes
similar to that charged against him.

Frightened. Fishing dime from his pocket he
