TO DIE OR NOT DIE LEGALLY
CURIOUS QUESTION TO BE DE-
C{DED BY COURT.

Whether it is better to die legally
or to be cured illegally is a curious
question which is soon to be decided
by the courts of New York state To
be cured Illegally and then sued
seems only one stage better than to
die in peace unhappy yet this choice
seems more than a probability. To
tbe average patient it has seemed of
little moment by whom he was cured
SO long as he was cured. But now
the state judiciary is likely to step
IL with a dictum to the effect that
enc can only be cured within certain
specified limits. This jurisdiction,
however, will have to do not with
the process of curing, but the practi-
tfoner. Sick people it would seem
may be cured by an individual, but
Rot by corporation. This has moth
nag to do with the corporation as
such. Instead it has only this curious
complication, that while two or tWen-
BY doctors may practice their profess
sion comparatively and legally such
practice and cooperation becomes en-
eirely illegal if the doctors for purely
business reasons decide to incOrpOr-
ate. In other words, the courts are
ROw concerned with the business end.
AS a consequence the patient in New
York is as likely to die through the
agreement of courts as disagreements
between- doctors. The point has been
Brought into prominence through an
Incorporation Of doctors who pro-
pose to minister to certain classes
for the sum of one dollar a year.
With the Intervention of the courts,
however, the situation has become in
Aeresting. and it remains to be de-
termined whether a sick man has a
sight to get well anyway, or only as

THE ''COLONEL" is DEAD
Mystery of An Aged Southerner Who
Was a Well known Figure
in New York.

One more mystery has just been
added to the thousands for which
New York is responsible in the death
of the Colonel" an aged south
erner who for years has been a we'll
known, though unknown, figure on
the BOwery. In the famous bread
lines in that district where the poor
are furnished bread and coffee the
Colonel for more than three de-
cades has been noted for his pathetic
sacrifices in assisting the needy. In
all his long and charitable career,
however, his identity has never been
revealed. Not even guess has ever
been made as to who he was. He
appeared about thirty years ago
not long after the close of the war
and while always needy Immediately
achieved attention on the east side
because of the sacrifices which he
made. When the famous Fleisch-
mans bread line started he was one
of its first patrons. But while he
was always the first at the window
to receive his piece of bread and mug
of coffee it was early noted that he
always gave away the food which he
received, a practice which he con-
tinued to his death. Moreover, how
ever needy his condition, this mys-
ferrous colonel had always a few
nickles and dimes to distribute
among his equally needy compan-
ions. His gifts were generally ac-
companied by helpful advice, and the
moment before his death he was en-
gagged in explaining to other mem
bers of the bread line how to obtain
shoes for the cold weather. 1t was
while waiting in the bread line that
he dropped dead. Nothing could be
found to throw any light on his ident-
ity, and there seems to be no solu-
ton of the famous mystery. His
brothers in need whom he has so
often aided attempted to collect a
fund for fitting burial.
