Board of Health's Officer, or the Coroner
(PoHtical Code, Section 3027), under the
Act of 1S7S-and we do not know that it
has been repealed-no eXhumation from
any grave no removal of body from
any burial vault, can be made, without
permission III writing, granted by the
head of the city or county government
or from the Health officer, or Board of
Health. Nor can an exhumed body be
transported without such permit. That
statute requires a Zee of SO. 20 be paid TO
the treasurer OF the city or county, for
each eXhumation. OF course the appli-

CoIonei's Bain's Lecture.

Very MANY Sedalians are deeply
indebted TO Secretary Langhorn, of
the y. NJ. c. A.. for bringing to Sc
aalia the noted Kentucky orator.
Col. Geo. W. Balm.
The immense and intelligent au-
-diences which greeted the kentuckian
at the spacious and beautiful First
nj. f. church, Friday and Saturday
evenings, was tribute not only to
the lecturer, but to Mr.. Langhorn,
too.
Colonel Balm, deserves all the thous-
ands of good and bright things that
have been said and written OF him. He
is master of pathos, humor and word
picturing. He made most pleasant
impression upon those who had heard
him before. and made fast friends of
those who had never SAT under the
spell of his silvery speech until his
spresent visit afforded the opportunity.

Helping Themselves.

New York has established school
in which the children of the poor are
taught to make and dress dolls. The
charge Of teaching the system is fifty
cents a week. The parents pay this
sum, and the little ones bring their
own materials Everything they
make. dolls and dresses, is their own.
and there are many pupils already
earning : living in their own spare
hours In the poorest houses there
are scraps of flannel. dress goods and
what not, which find their way to the
rag bag. These apparently useless
bits are taken to school by the chill
dren, and converted into dolls and
their outfits II teaches the art of
dressmaking, as the adult system is
only the enlarged doll system.

HOW HE PROPOSED.
Two Samples of Popping the
Question Which Were
Successful.

! The following are more samples OF
proposals which have been submitted
to The BAzoO for the prize Of an ele-
cant chair whichit offers, for the neat
est, most unique and appropriate
specimen of the kind referred TO.
/ '.THE WAY DID IT.
| / had been counting Miss Belle
about eight months.
The only encouragement ] had re-
celve.l was from a mutual friend OF
the object Of my alteration and my
self. Young matrOn of thirty.
When ! had almost despaired of
ever growing in the favor oi the
adored one. She, ithe matron). found
it out and ut once poured into my
willing ears many compliments to my
self. relating to my personal attrac-
tons. intellectual endorsements, etc,
that Belle had. in the strictest conf
dencc. mentioned to her. II need
scarcely say that Belle now denies
having ever said anything of the
kind
" 1. Us time ] met Belle ut u
party and had the pleasure Of seeing
her home"
When I lett her at the gate,
We had become confidential friends.
She was little reluctant about agree
ing to such contract, but finally
consented, aud ! gave her hand kind
OF confidential squeeze when bid her
goodnight. which resulted in her sud-
denly withdrawing her hand, and |
gave vent to a sickly horse-laugh
which slid down my body and killed
the grass at my feet. y
These things, excepting the laugh, l
related to my female adviser. Alter
gathering the minuetest details, she
Ind me hope-explaining that she did
not approve OF the confidential friend
compact, hut Bellies withdrawing her
hand - quickly was a good sign.
She would arrange for Belle to
spend the following Saturday night
with her. and could happen in. She
made me bear in mind that faint
hear. neer won fair lady" She hint
ell also, that she would drop word
50 Belle might know what TO expect
at our first meeting.
Saturday evening rolled around. !
posted Oh early To meet my charmer,
and likewise my fate.
What was my chagrin aud di>ap-
poiniment, to lind she had not come.
She hal sent the matr"n short
note explaining that she hal fearful
headache and would have Ia be ex-
c,lsed. WIS assured that it WAS ''all
right" But refusing I" he comiorted
| started up town feeling quite as mis-
cradle as disappointed lover can feel.
| suddenly ran against Belle. laden
with bundles. She hal been shopping
with that fearful headache. ] relieved
her Of her packages and walked DOWN
with her.
When We reached the gate ! laid
the bundles On the fence and bluntly
asked her il she could possibly marry
me.
Quite a. bluntly she replied that
while she felt some misgivings about
placing her future in the keeping of a
man a. slow us myself my fault was
partly aioned for in view Of the fact
that ! finally got there, :" she would
say YES.
That was six years ago. Our mar.
ried life is quite all we hoped for.

elegant, armed easy chair +. +.

QUEEN CIT, CONVICT S
A Sedalian Shown Through the
Missouri Penitentiary by
Warden Pace.

The Jefferson City papers are al
WAYS certain to make personal men-
ton of the visiting Sedalians there,
but the poor unfOrtunates whose resi-
dence there is forced and their ex-
penses paid by the state seldom, if
ever, are heard of during their stay.
Twenty-eight prisoners, sent up
from this county, are serving time in
the state prison and Warden Pace says
a better class of prisoners never were
in the institution.
While in the city few days ago,
Mr.. w. L. Ferguson, whom a BAzoo
representative interviewed, was shown
through the institution, visiting the
cells, dining-room and kitchen, all
models of order and cleanliness, and
was also allowed, by the kindness of
Warden Pace, to make a call at the
different shops inside the stockade.
Of the seventeen hundred prisoners
about twelve hundred are employed
in the FIVE shoe shops and the saddle
factory. About one hundred are
used in the dining-roOm and kitchen
and the rest are used as janitors for
the different buildings, for general
work and as book-keepen. Ex-treas-
urer holland is one of the latter, EN-
ployed in the hospital, and is enjoying
such a lite az best he can. He only
wears the jacket OF the prison dress
and frequently takes an evening off.
in a drive through the city.
Fisher, the wife murderer, who was
sent up for tel years. from this county,
and has served three years, is en-
ployed in the dinning-rOom as bread
cutter. The convicts Use three hun
dred and sixty loaves of bread every
day and each loaf is eighteen inches
long, so it is evident that Fisher has
few idle moments. The guards say
he is model prisoner and enjoys con-
siderable liberty.
While waiting for the guide Mr..
Ferguson was invited to view the ex-
animation to which the prisoners are
subjected on their arrival. There
were three of them and two were from
Sedalia, Gibbs, sent up for five years
for attempted rape on four-year-old
child, and Alexander, whose theft Of
$50 from his roommate, is fresh in
the minds of the readers of this paper.
Gibbs seemed to feel his disgrace
deeply and his face showed evidence
Of many sleepless night. Alexander
answered all questions with firmness
and when asked if he had trade or
ever had any steady occupation he
smiled and answered in the negative.
He was sent to the tailoring depart
ment.
No attention is paid to the fit of the
garments given the prisoners and it
looked as if the smaller men had all
gotten hold of the large garments and
rice rersa. The numbers they received
were enough to reach almost around
the jackets and the last seen of them
they were in line on their way tn the
hospital for medical examination.
The MISUNDERSTANDING is a model
of cleanliness and order throughout,
and well repays visit.
