THE OPEN PARLIAMENT
ATTENDANCE AT FUNERALS.

A writer in last weeks BEE indulges in some critical remarks on the prevalent practice of attending public funerals, which can hardly be said to be either just or in good taste. He asks, ''Is it custom, superstition, idle curiosity or What?'
 It is custom, good old New Eng land custom, that should be approved and followed, rather than ridiculed or censured. The "superstition and idle curiosity are doubtless conceptions of the writer's brain.
 It is common practice, at the present time, very good one, in connection with the notice in the daily newspaper of decease to name the day and hour of the funeral and ask friends to attend. For a neighbor to disregard such re- quest and go about his ordinary busi- ness, except in very urgent cases, is dis courteous to the bereaved family and shows lack of sympathy and of respect for the deceased and savors strongly of lingering heathenishness. In country CouInuulLltS, all Ille lHIaDlGdDGS are practically neighbors. There are very few persons, men at least, who have not some acquaintance with most of the peO- pie.
 In the hustle and turmoil of active life, intercourse between neighbors is shaped by circumstances, sometimes friendly, sometimes intimate, sometimes restrain ed.
 But, in the hour of death, when the funeral obsequies are being solemniZed over the remains of a deceased neighbOr, it is meet and proper that all who can should manifest respect for the dead and sympathy for the bereaved family, by their presence and take the last look at the departed; if a friend, on account of friendship, if a whilom enemy, to forget past differences and fling former animos- ities into the open grave.
 Audible remarks around the casket, about the looks of the deceased, are cer- tainly indecorous and will not be uttered by we'll bred people. Conversation among those assembled at funeral in regard to common place, outside topics is unseemly and should be eschewed. The very presence of Death implies si- lence and a proper regard for the mourn ing family dictates it.
 Yes, let the good old custom abide, es- pecially in the country; not because of it's oldness only, but because of it's fit ness, it's tendency to foster a kindly spir- it among neighbors, to temper the asper- ity sometimes engendered by conflicting interest and adverse views and to show there is one place, at least, where conten- tion is hushed.- re.

CURTIS JURY DISMISSED.
The Trial Declared Off on Account {
q Jurors Death


There was halt called i'm the trial of M
b. Curtis for the murder of Policeman
Grant in Judge Murphy's court yesterday
and proceedings were suddenly stopped,
and the trial will have to be commenced all
over again.
The cause of the ciogging of the wheels Of
the judicial machinery was due to the death
of one of the jurors
When the court opened District Attorney
Barnes informed the court that Juror Porter
A Libby, clerk with Parke, Lacy & Co.,
and living at 516 Clipper street. hal died
early in the morning. This announcement
created great surprise, as the trial was well
on toward the close.
The District Attorney said that under
section 2l23 of the Penal Code the court
had the discretion either to discharge the
whole jury or else keep the eleven and
allow one more juror to be taken. There
was no such thing as allowing the case to
be tried with eleven men. The District
Attorney moved that the whole jury be dis
missed.
Attorney W. W. Foote representing
Curtis, asked that the present jurors be
retained and that one more be added to the
list.
Judge Murphy made an order granting
the motion of the District Attorney and or
dered the dismissal of the jury. He also
announced that in few weeks he would
try civil cases only.
The defendants counsel made an applica-
tion Tor the reduction of the defendants
bail, but the cnurt said Curtis bonds had
been fixed by Judge Trout and he would
not disturb his order. The case was con-
tinued till next Saturday, when it will again
be set for trial.
Juror Libby, whose death upset all the
proceedings OF the case, was 80 years of
age. During the early part Of the trial he
was taken sick and the trial had to be post
poned on account of his illness. his physi-
clan certifying that he was suffering from
severe attack of tonsilitis.
On November % Libby had sufficiently
recovered to resume his seat in the Jury
box, tut on last Tuesday morning he was
again stricken down and never left his bed.
Curtis and his wife appeared very much
disappointed at the turn things had taken
10y the death of Juror Libby.

The Blythe Case.

The Blythe case cropped UP for short
time in Judge Coffey's court yesterday after
noon. The court heard the arguments of
several of the defeated claimants on the
question OF settling certain bills OF excep-
ton. The court granted the motion of w.
ii. al. Hart and refused to settle the bill of
exceptions in the cases of Adam Blythe and
Margaret Clegg. This knocks out several
OF the collateral heirs. The courts order
was on the ground that the claimants men,
TONED had not Incorporated any testimony
in their proposed bill of exceptions, and
also on the ground that they had failed to
attack the findings OF the court.
