Among the names upon this roll are those of the widow of Geo. T. R. R Cobb and the mother of Henry Grady whose father gave up his life on the battle fields Of the south. The poorer class of women were represented among those who called for their money They were widows of the country boys for the most part. who. aI- though they had little education, knew how to fight, and they did fight well. as the records will show.

WALTER D. PRICE BURIED.
Was Once . Noted Pickpocket and
Policy Dealer.

The funeral OF Walter d. Price whose
picture is No. 2s6 in the Rogues' Gallery.
and who in years gone by was consid
cred one OF the most expert pickpockets
in America. was held at o'clock this
afternoon at his home, 800 West One
Hundred and Twenty-sixth street.
Price was sixty-five years old. He
was born in this city and grew up on
the Bowery, when that thoroughfare
was in its palmiest days.
Price, during his career, went under
dozen different aliases. He always
dressed in black, and the cut OF his
coat was such as to lead people who did
not know him to think he was a clergy
man.
In recent years Price has conducted
a policy shop in Vesey street, near
Washington. From this business he is
said TO have derived a princely income.
II is said however, by his friends that
he left no property.
His redeeming trait of character was
his generosity. He is said to have al
ways been willing to help the unfortu-
nate, and on occasions Is reported to
have given large sums to the widows
and families of deceased friends who
left their relatives unprovided for. Price S
friends say that he never gambled,
smoked, drank or cursed in his life.

PANTATASIs.

The police captains are getting sick.
Several OF them are so bad that they
ought to be In a hospital. Their all
ments differ In the designations given TO
them. but they are probably all the
same 30 far as symptoms are concerned.
The trouble seems to he too much PAN
tatacy In the system, which asserts
Itself in an aggravated way whenever
an investigation Is about to begin.
We never knew what pantatasis was
until a police surgeon laid II bare in
Capt. Devery's case. This Surgeon gives
thirteen different indications OF the dis
ease, beginning with pain In the head"
and passing down through "embarrass-
ment of speech" TO 'irregularity and
rapidity OF pulse" with flnal assertion
of inability to face the music.
Pantatasis seems to be a frightful AZ
Fiction. 1t is bad enough now, but prob
ably It will be worse when the Lexow
inquisition renews Its irritating question

been carried OF by It so far, but several

STATE AND CITY LEGIsLAruREs

In his letter, eommendatory OF the
features OF Jesse Johnson's alleged mu-
nicipal home rule amendment, Seth Low
says: 1T undoubtedly II the true ideal
that the city legislature should have
full power in these particulars. On the
other hand. II cannot be forgotten that
one power after another has been taken
away from the Common Councils Of our
large cities because these Councils have
abused the powers which they once
enjoyed. In other words, until such
bodies show themselves faithful over a
few things, 1t Is not unreasonable TO
hesitate in granting them full authority
over many things"
II Mr.. Low is iniulging the idea that
a political State Legislature Is likely to
be any more faithful over few
things" or over many things. than
City Council. he Is doing SO In disregard
Of the remarkable record made By sew
eral Legislatures at Albany. and notably
by the last one. That law-making body
which adjourned last Spring at the State
Capitol persistently used the large cities
OF the commonwealth, and especially
the great city OF. New York, as the
bases and subjects OF the most bare
faced deals and political intrtgues. 1t
ably backed up the bosses OF the me
tropolls. and the Governor who obeyed
the bosses dictation. In the work Of
blocking real municipal reform in this
city and keeping the people subject to
She r!ngstsrs.
A city legislature could do no worse
things for New York than State legisla-
tors have done. The chances are that
II would not do so badly. as 1t would be
more directly responsible to the COM
munity Immediately interested. A city
Alderman or Councilman may be taught
to respect the wishes of respect
able constituency in making laws for
the municipality. A rustic legislator
at Albany. whose political fate depends
in no way upon the people OF the
metropolis. cannot be expected to care
a rap about the wishes Or opinions OF
/ the metropolitan citizens.
/ Give New York its chance TO govern
itself and good citizens will easily learn
to look out for n faithful city legisla'
ture. Continue to leave the control OF
municipal affairs at Albany and deals
and ring rule will also continue.
