Justice Leventritt, in the Supreme Court has ap-
pointed Godfrey Morse, of Boston. a commissioner
to take the testimony OF Charles E. Hurd and War
rem s. Hill. in Boston. to be used in suit in this
city brought by Arthur P. Dodge against Alice V.

alleged by Dodge 10 be the balance of a 100000
contract entered into by Mrs, lie Bau and Mr..
Dodge Mrs lie Bau is a daughter OF the late
Commodore Vanderbilt
In his complaint Dodge asserts that he and Mrs.
LIE Bau entered into contract by which she was
to pay him 100000 for certain patent rights. The
contract entered into in May 1897. In her
answer to the suit Mrs lie Bau charges that the
contract was obtained by false representations on
the part of Dodge. She says that she has paid
Dodge $4,000 on the contract. of which $4,000
in cash and $4,000 in stocks and bonds
The patent rights purchased by Mrs lie Bau

Dodge had represented that the company had
been Incorporated under the laws OF Maine. and
originally capitalized SOOOO00. Subsequently the
capitalization had been increased TO 100000 He
had tcld her that the stock would become valuable

honesty in spite of his discharge, and so uses
the parole as a mere expedient to imprison him
when the law declares him innocent. But surely
authority was never meant to be used in that
way. That amounts to trying a man once for
crime aequitting him and then imprisoning him
on general principles. Against what seems to

CHECKING SAFES OF PoISoNS.

The act which was passed by the Legislature
last winter and signed by the Governor will
make extensive changes speedily with regard
to the methods employed in drug shops In this
State. Almost every issue Of the daily news
papers contains accounts of suicides in which
carbolic acid, arsenic, paris green or some other
kind of poison has been swallowed, and 1t is
indisputable that in most cases the self murder
ers have had no difficulty in buying at drug
stores the deadly stuff which they used. More
over the proofs have been abundant that the
precautions generally in use to limit the sale of
dangerous compounds have been insufficient
and that the provisions of the Penal Code have
been disregarded in a lamentable number of
instances. In almost every city in the State
the competition between the apothecaries has
been intense, and it is plain that thousands of
the owners Of the chemists shops have been
hard put to r to pay their rentals and earn
livelihood. Therefore it may not be surprising
that the provisions of the laws previously in ex-
istence have often been neglected.
But the State Board of Pharmacy. which viii
take up the regulation of the selling of medi-
cines the filling of prescriptions and the traffic
in acids and pOiSons, may be expected to enforce
restraints which will lessen the mOurnful rec
ords of suicides and will decrease the frequency
of unfortunate mistakes in prescriptions. This
is matter of vital Importance in every com
munity. 1t was said long ago that the blunders
of lawyers the surface and open to the
common knowledge, but that the errors of doc
tors and drug clerks were hidden in the grave.
New-YOrk can well bear comparison with other
States and with other countries in respect to
the capacity ami carefulnesS of her physicians
and apothecaries but the legislation which will
go into effect with the coming of the New Year
was wisely considered and will be widely bene-
fetal. Under lne new statute State Board of
Pharmacy, with ample powers, will exercise a
more thorough supervision over druggists and
pharmacists than local boards have exercised.
1t can make up and enforce rules for the prac-
tice of pharmacy, the sale of deadly drugs and
acids, and can provide for inspection of the
purity Of medicines. AdulteratiOn and the sub
stitution of inferior preparations for those of
the best quality may be followed by severe
penalties. 1t is not necessary to review the
manifold details of the new system, but gen.
orally it may be said that it will probably estab-
lish safeguards which will be welcomed and
approved all over the State.

SAYING THE PALISADES.

The Palisades Commissions, cooperating as
one body, which were created by the Legls-
| latures OF New-York and New-Jersey last VIII
ter report a good work quietly accomplished
The proceedings of this joint Commission have
indeed, been so little observed that the an
nouncement of its substantial success comes
as a genuine surprise to the people OF both
/ States II had only $4,000 for its purpose put
with that ii has obtained a binding option until
June / on all the Palisades properties where
blasting was going on and prevented any fur
I ther destruction of the cliff during that perlod'
and for the purchase of those properties it has
attained from citizens of New-York pledges
1 that they will contribute the required sum OF
s122. 500 provided that the two Legislatures
shall appropriate enough money at their COM
ing sessions to buy other tracts within the
! limits il has fixed and to build driveway along
! The foot of the Palisades. All things considered
this is a remarkable achievement, and II Will be
discreditable TO New-YOrk and New-Jersey II
they fail to secure the full results which 1t
makes possible. 1t is a pleasure TO join with
his fellow Commissioners in recognizing an
other generous service skilfully rendered to the
public by Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt.
1t is probable that opposition will be made
at Albany and Trenton to the appropriation of
public funds for this purpose, but there. is rea-
example of private Iiberality will prevail. In
difference and perverted views have heretofore
prevented practical steps for the preservation of
the Palisades, and the increased activity of the
quarrymen in recent years has left little hope
of ultimate success Suddenly the whole situa-
ton has changed, the process of private negou-
alton has been finished, simple and excellent
plan of improvement has been formulated, and
only a moderate supply of public money is
needed to complete the undertaking. We hope
this will not be wanting long. but 1t is desirable
perhaps essential, that public sentiment should
be enlisted and strongly expressed in support
of Mr.. Hewitt and his associates. Some queer
ideas on the subject unquestiOnably exist. We
remember that a former exponent of one view
of the matter once said: ITO be sure, the Pail
'sades are mostly in New-Jersey, but why
should we tax ourselves to save them? We
cant see them without going over into New
"York State. New-YOrkers ought to put up the
money" 1t is hardly possible to suppose that
this sentiment was ever widespread, but yet
objections almost as foolish may be raised in
both States, and may even carry the day if the
advocates Of the scheme fail TO unite in a vigOr-
Gus movement for its adoption.
