for private purposes of the city's ma chimes.
 Whether it is better to die legally or to be cured illegally is a curious ques- tion which is soon to be decided by the courts of this state. To be cured il- legally and then sued seems only one stage better than to die in peace un- happy, yet this choice seems more than a probability. To the average patient it has seemed of little moment by whom he was cured so long as he was cured. But now the state judici ary is likely to step in with a dictum to the effect that one can only be cured within certain specified limits. This jurisdiction, however, will have to do no with the process of curing but the practitioner Sick people it would seem may be cured by an individual, but not by a corporation. This has nothing to do with the corporation as such. Instead it has only this curious complication, that while two or twen- ty doctors may practice their profes- sions comparatively and legally, such practice and cooperation becomes en- tirely illegal if the doctors for purely business reasons decide to incorporate. In other words the courts are not con- cerned with the methods of the doctors, since they might be the same before and after incorporation, but are only concerned with the business end. As consequence the patient in New York is as likely to die through the agree ment of courts as disagreements be- tween doctors. The point has been brought into prominence through an incorporation of doctors who propose to minister to certain classes for the sum of one dollar a year. With the intervention of the courts, however, the situation has become interesting, and it remains to be determined wheth- CT a sick man has a right to get well anyway or only as the courts prescribe.
 While any man that publicly pinches a woman in New York is liable to ar rest and fine. women of the city are strong in the belief that women should be allowed to pinch men. They are not. however. in favor of Caruso act, but are highly enthusiastic over the appointment of female policemen. The
 W oman < DtlllOtIdAlC sobNlElN lldo JuSA pledged itself to take up this question at the next meeting of the Federated Women's clubs. As a result New York is in a fair way to be the first municipality to give to the world the "copess"-in other words the lady po- liceman That the arrival of the fe- male bluecoat is no dream is shown by the fervid resolutions in her favor by the WOmans Democratic club, which in the city where Tammany is chief are not to be despised. These resolutions hold that it is high time that the lady policeman be made a part of the citys police force, although it is not proposed to clothe this fe- male minion of the law in the habili- ments of her male brother officer. It is asserted, however, that the terror which the cop inspires in the breasts of juvenile offenders would in the case of the "coDess" be overcome by feeling of affection. It is argued that the female blucoat could attract youthful maIefactOrs who flee from the present officers of the law. One startling argument which has been ad- vanced against this innovation is the humiliation which the average man would suffer at being arrested by a woman.
