of the Railroad are $500 an acre
on long time, and improved farms
are only $1,000 to $500 an acre,

vegetable crops are grown every
year, each of which will net more
dollars per acre than the same
crop in the North; that the wealth

HITTING THE coRoNERs.
The County Judge and County At
torney Want Them to Pay
All the Expenses,

The most diSagreeable duty that the
| justices of the peace have to perform is
| that of holding inQueStS, especially where
the corpse is ripe. The law gives the cor
oner fee of $500 for his personal services
and clothes him with full authority in an
inquest, just as the district court or grand
jury has. But the county att lrney has
decided that the coroner must pay out of
his personal fee all costs OF the inquest,
such as handling the corpse, conveying il
from one place to another, fishing IL from
the river or transportation OF the coroner
TO and from the place where he views the
body. The law makes it the duty of the
coroner to hold an inquest anywhere in
his county. Should he be called up at
midnight and asked to hold an inquest at
the edge of the county, it would be his
duty to go, and he could be removed from
Office II ne declined to do so, but the cOun
w attorney holds that he must pay for
the conveyance to take HIM to and from
the place where the body is.
The commissioners court has decided
that the county physician shall hold most
of the inqueStS but there is no law con-
ferring that power or duty on him.
The county attorney has also rendere d
a report to the county commissioners, in
which he decides illegal the claim of the
sheriff j. p. Campbell for S175 paid by
him to 20 special officers at $3.50 per day
on election and $50 tees for summoning
them under instructions to do so from
Judge Noonan at the last city election to
see that the officers of election selected by
the city council should not be interfered
with.
The Sheriff and the Coroner will refer
the matter to the attorney general for an
opinion.

The Moorish Lady at Home.

Fannie c. w. Barbour in the Californian.
The costumes Of the ladies, when
in their own homes, are snowy
and brilliant. introduced by my
friend Nine. Ben-Aben. | had the
entree to several of these homes,
and would pass through the outer
door or barrier to find the room
where was expected filled with
wOmen-friends of my hostess.
Their slipperSstOod in rows outside
the hall door, and they were sit
ting around on rugs, but | was
allowed by courtesy to retain
my shoes, and invited as
the guest of honor to sit on
the divan. Moorish coffee was
served in exquisite Kabyle cups,
and much polite staring was in
dulged in; but conversation Jagged
somewhat, as | did not discourse
tiuently in Arabic, and my host
esses were ignorant of French.
Nine. Ben-Aben acted as interpre-
ter, however, and many questions
were asked concerning me.
"DOes her husband have one
wife only?" Eyes" GLOW strange ~
Is she English?" "No-Ameri-
can" "Where is American"
"Across great sea-far, far
away" at can not be a greater sea
than our Mediterranean; there is
no greater in the world" "What
curious clothes she wears! Where
are her Turkish trousers, poor
thing?" at is possible she does
not veil in the street, and do all
her cOuntrywOmen go about like
this? How stranger" All these
remarks are made with a friendly
curiosity. The women are almost
entirely uneducated, most of them
being ignorant even of their own
age. They are taught by the KO-
ran that they have no souls. Their
only accomplishments are en-
brOidery and cooking, for every
wife must cook for her own hus-
band.
