Boston.-One need not have the
wealth of the late Russell Sage In or
der to purchase a ghoul-proof casket,
for the same thing, or at least one
equally burglar-proof, can be secured
here for from 500 to 5000. They are
not in great demand hereabouts, for
the same dangers do not exist as for
merly, or exist at all, save for men OF
such prominence as this late eccen-
trio millionaire. said member Of a
prominent firm in speaking of this
type of sarcophagus:
II cannot see how any such sum as
that mentioned in the newspapers
could possibly be paid for steel cas-
ket. They can be secured for a little
over 500, and even II made to order
could not be brought above a cost OF
$1,000. They are of simple construc-
ton, consisting only of a steel case
which locks from within with spring
locks. The ordinary kind cannot be
opened without the use of steel
chisel, and then the heads of the bolts
would have to be cut away.
"They are an absolute protection
for such as possess the fear of body
snatchers, but they are not used very
much here in the east. Now that the
medical schools are we'll supplied, un
der the law, there is little incentive
for this type of criminal to operate
In the south and west, however, they
are in quite common use"

asked.

fearless and who courted adventure,
this grewsome work of body snatch
ing had its destinations. 1t was il
legal and the best brains of the police
force of the country were busy trying
to stop it, which added another in
centive to this man. 1t was a con-
test Of mind and pluck, as he looked
upon it. And so, while still a student,
he organized small gang of men who
supplied cadavers to colleges even as
far west as Michigan.

No More BuriaIs Alive.

mo. Under our present methods
burial alive is an impossibility. To be
sure, there are some eccentric indi-
viduals who make odd requests, but in
my long experience have never come
across one. This steel 'casket Is as
far as they ever vary in their ex-
pressed wishes"
A member of the local branch of the
company, from whom it was reported
the $4,000 casket was bought, also
agreed that it would be impossible to
expend this amount of money on the
steel Enclosure. TIE said:
Our prices range from 500 to per.
haps $500, and should such thing be
made to order, Of heavier steel and

Family Of Ghouls.
At about this time the country was
startled by the weird story which fol-
lowed the arrest OF the McNamee fam
lily. Some three miles from the city
there had lived for five years the IA
Their, two sons and a daughter. But
little was known of them, although the
neighbors frequently speculated on
their means of earning a livelihood.
One night farmer named Goodrich
was returning to his home late from
visit to a distant relative, when he
met in the dark road a team. The
road was narrow, so that in passing
he was able to see the occupants Of
the other vehicle. He recognized
them as the old man McNamee and
his daughter. He was somewhat sur
prised to notice that the girl was
dressed in mans clothes, but still
more surprised to see that muffled
figure sat between them. He stopped
and asked a few commonplace ques.
lions, to which he received surly re.
plies. At this point McNamee's horse
started, and as he did so threw the
hat from the head of the third figure.
Goodrich nearly fell from his wagon
as he recognized the set features Of
young Wilbur Hill, who had been
buried few days before.
Goodrich, pale from fright, hurried
home and reused the neighbors. They
opened the grave, which had but late
ly been filed, and found it empty. A
search Of the house of the McNamees
revealed spades, ropes and all the
other paraphernalia OF grave robbing.
Further investigation Of the grave.

The Black Man,

In an address before the Negro
Young Peoples Christian and Edito
rial congress In Washington, Score
tary of the Navy Bonaparte pursued
a suggestive line of thought, He
pointed to the fact, established by
comprehensive experience, that the
black race is the only one which has
been able to live with white people.
Indians, Australians and Polynesians
have died off and disappeared before
the advance of the white race, but the
negroes have not only remained, but
have increased and multiplied, From
this condition the secretary drew the
conclusion that the black men have a
destiny to work out, and must com
pete with the white men in the effort
OF gain livelihood. There Is no
room In America for people who
can't take care Of themselves" said
the secretary; and again: you can't
in this country rest and be thankful,
for II you try to do this you will soon
have nothing to be thankful for The
idle and sensual and benighted are
never really free, and America now
is country only for freemen." That
is sound practical sense and true
patriotism, says the Troy Times. And
come to think of 1t, the advice is as
applicable to white as to colored men

Skilled In Use Of Weapons.
A glimpse of his living rooms in
Warren street, Syracuse, was reve.
lation of the tastes OF the man. The
walls were hung with foils and a reg
ular armory Of weapons. An expert
fencer and dead shot, he led an ex-
istence that drew him away from all
but a very few intimate friends.
His skill with the revolver was
noteworthy. AS an illustration of
this, an acquaintance of his said

mo; although, Of course, such
things could be made, to supply
within. The steel casket is common
enough, especially in countries where
there is great deal of rain, or in
remote regions where the grave can
not be watched"
II as big a sum as $4,000 was ac-
tually expended on the burial arrange

and maintain it is absurd.
Grave Robberies Common.
Although the danger from grave
robbing never became so acute in
Massachusetts as elsewhere, up to
within 25 years the crime was of COM

them all, no one was more famous
than DR.. Hervey w. Kendall, who at
last was mysteriously murdered.
In more ways than one DR.. Kendall
was remarkable man. His temper
ament was such that he seemed to de-
light in things that Mortified other
men. He was a student at the medi-
cal college, where he was known as a
man who was not brilliant student,
but as one who could do things better
than most men when he made up his
mind to do so. To look at the man
was to see that he was out of the
common. One who knew him we'll de-
scribed him as follows:
IF Hervey had lived in the days of
pirates he would have been a rival to
Capt. Kidd. In the first place, he
looked the part. Nine out of ten men
