THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
MINUTES IN
MANHATTAN
(By Gotham Knickerbocker.)
New York. — I see a terrible outrage
brewing in the distance. The plot
ters are at work. The innocent tan
go must be slaughtered. After en
tertaining society for many moons, its
hosts are about to turn and rend it
limb from limb.
"Everybody’s doing it.”
That’s the reason the Fifth Avenue
leaders are to use the knife.
You see this is a game which the
society leaders have played for wears.
They cut their coats short and six
months later the hoi pollio has fol
lowed suit. Then there is a great
hurry and bustle in the upper realms
to get new coats cut long. Anybody
with one of the short coats is out of
if. Six months go by. The “com
mon herd" .has waked up to the fact
that “the style lias changed." Ixmg
coats begin to appear on 125th and 14th
Street. There is again confusion and
turmoil among the leaders. Again
they cut their coats short, but in a
little different shaie from the .-hort
coats above referred to. Six months
later —but what’s the use? You all
know the system.
So this Is the way the tango 1s go
ing. It started with some London
bishops, peevish because few came to
listen to their dry discourses. The cu
rious queen of England, who sets her
self up as a model for everything, also
disapproved and set sour vi-age ask
ance German royalty found the steps
to be not for fat persons. European
society circles slavishly bowed.
But let me tell you as one who
knows his little old New York that
it. was none of these which caused
the sentence of execution on Miss
Tango hereabouts. Society found it
self doing no more than was being
done in Squashtown Sullivan County,
and stood aghast. It is still standing,
gasping and looking around for a sub
stitute. This substitute will soon be
found and then “good nig’t Miss Tan
go." She'll disapi' ar from Sherry's'

little later the Astor will know her
no more, and then by degrees she will
become extinct in dancing palaces of
lesser and lesser rank, until the day
will come when she will only be
known in truly rural communities,
where city visitors will find her in the
summertime and marvel at the quaint
old customs.
Radium Thieves.
The theft of a tiny disk of radium
from a hospital here almost simulta
neously with the purloining of a sim
ilar valuable speck of smear in Chi
cago would naturally lead one versed
in the ways of the underworld to sur
mise the formation of a radium thief
trust.
There are organizations of crooks
who make a specialty of stealing au
tomobiles in the street, dressing them
up, and selling them in other cities;
there are clothing thief leagues, there
are dog thieves and chicken thieves,
fraternities of postofifee yeggs and
clubs ol pickpockets. So why not to
dium thieves?
All the radium thieves need is a
catchy name, like, "White hander’
o r “rank fiend” to be admitted to our
besst circles of criminology.
My idea of what not to steal Is a
nice little chunk of radium—say
enough almost to choke a ladybug if
she tried to swallow it, about $500,000
worth.
After sneaking into that awesome
place, a hospital for special diseases,
asd swiping it but of the side of some
IKior devil of a cancer patlnent's face,
tlie thief would like as not put his
find in his inside coat pocket and start
to stroll along Broadway from Forty-
Second to Thirty-Fourth Street, where
more full fledged criminals are on
view any sunshiny afternoon than in
any similar stretch of the civilzed
world. He would enjoy a few hours
of bliss. He would read in the after
noon papers of the mysterious theft
of $500,000 worth of radium and
chuckle. But when night fell that sec
tion of the clothing near the tube of
radium would glow as though pos
sessed by the devil. The first po
liceman would grab him by the coat
collar. And supposing he had time
to spil the tube out of his pockets,
his coat would go on glowing with a
white light just the same. He would
he thrown into jail with slight chance
of escaping. But he should worry—
t!ie radium would already have eaten
into his flesh to such an extent that
he would be well on the way to the
grave by morning anyway.
If ever it’s true that virtue is its
own reward, it will be found so by
light fingered gentry who keep away
from the temptation of radium.
Even supposing these artists are
clever enough to protect themselves
from the baseful rays. They will he
much harder up than the man who
robbed a farmer of a SIO,OOO blooded
calf and then found he could only sell
the animal for $5 worth of veal.
If it was a nugget of gold the un
lawful possessor could say “I was
wandering along the edge of the great
Amargosa Desert one day, when sud
denly," and all that. But noboy ever
fond a nugget of radium. Every milli
gram of radium has a pedigree and
without, said pedigreel warn ail my
acquaintances among the thieving pro
fession, their radium loot had best be
thrown into the river.
In New York we have a pleasant
little custom. When a man ol an easy
conscience refuses to support the wife
he promised to love, cherish and obey
—in " effect—for ever and ever, the
state highway seizes him and for a
few two, too brief weeks, supports
him in luxury at an institution called
Ludlow Street Jail. This justly fa
mous place is too well-known to need
mention were it not for the danger to
which the landmark of the East Side
is subject. Sheriff Grifenhagen,
threatens to reform it. As well try
to reform the Battle of Bull Run or
Benedict Arnold, or the Declaration
of Independence or any of the old
standbys of history.
But I see that our retiring Sheriff,
the great Julius Harburger, has gone
so far as to take part of the blame for
Ludlow Street upon his own shoul
ders. Really this is too much. Lud
low Street takes its way serenely
without deigning to notice such a
slight thing as a sherif. “I found it
a jail—l left it a sanitorium” or
something of the sort, Julius is quot
ed as saying. He even takes credit
for the fine theatrical entertainments
which are such a charming feature of
Ludlow Street life. This is going too
far. Julius will claim everything.
But listen to Julius, creator of a
million deputies, patron of revolver
factories, poet and literateur::
"Ludlow Street is just a place for
the temporary compulsory confine
ment of gentlemen. The Ludlow Stret

institution is no place for criminals.
If any one did wrong there he was
sent to prison, "the Tombs” for in
stance. But the cells are almost as
uncomfortable in Ludlow Street as in
Sing Sing or any other regular prison.
Of course I never had the heart to:
compel any of the gentlemen alimo
ners to stay in the cell. I think I
gave entire satisfaction as sheriff.
Gentlemen temporarily detained in
Ludlow Street jail often Informed me
the cuisine was excellent.
Best Cough Medicine for Children.
"I am very glad to say a few
words in praise of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy,” writes Mrs. Lida
Dewey, Milwaukee, Wis. “I have used
it for years both for my children and |
myself and it never fails to relieve |
and cure a cough or cold. No family
with children should be without it as
it gives almost immediate relief in
cases of croup.” Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is pleasant and safe
to take, which is of great importance
when a medicine must be given to
young children. For sale by all
dealers.
