Crossroads Burials.

Formerly it was general custom to
erect crosses at the junction Of four
crossroads On place self consecrated ac-
cording to the piety of the age. Suicides
and notoriously bad characters were
frequently buried near to these, not
with the notion of indignIty, but in a
spirit OF charity that, being excluded
from holy rites, they by being buried at
crossroads might be in places next in
sanctity TO ground actually consecrated.

ALL READY FOR THE NEW LAW.
Commissioner Miller. Of the internal
revenue bureau, in consideration Of the
changes which will be made i'm the rate
OF Internal revenue taxes TO be paid un-
der the new tariff act. has completed
every arrangement for carrying it into
effect as soon as IL becomes law. New
designs OF stamps for playing cards have
been approved and the work Of printing
and picking them will begin at once, so
that every revenue district in the coun-
try Will be supplied as soon as the stamps
can be carried to them by the mails after
the bill becomes a law. A new design
for stamp to be used in rewarehousing
spirits in general bonded warehouses
will be ready for issue, as will also the
new stamp taxing leaf tobacco sold by
dealers direct TO consumers as manufsc-
tured tobacco. Circulars OF instruction
in all cases have been prepared and
everything is in complete readiness for
the change. The attention of the treas
ury officials was called TO an error in the
punctuation OF section 10 of the free list
which might be construed 10 prohibit the
importation OF Ill drugs and medicines.
After careful reading of the original
bill, it was the unanimous opinion Of the
treasury experts that such construc-
ton would be forced and nonsensical.
The secretary, il was stated, would GER
tainly rule out any point that all drugs
were excluded from importation, and IL
is believed the supreme court would sus-
tain the ruling.

precious burdens up to the last minute, I'M

relatives and friends had got together. The
social hour was filled with "reminiscences of
sixty years more or less then came the adj
dresses of the Rev. Drs. Allen, Randall and
Mcdonald, which were as full of life and
wit as if the speakers were under forty, and
which greatly delighted the audience. The
banquet was a rich one, everything being
furnished by the thoughtful energetic
ladies of the church that could tempt or
satisfy the most fastidious appetite. Rev.
George D. Lindsay receivedssmany graceful
compliments for his thoughtfulness in get
ting up the banquet. and he seemed as much
pleased as if he was surrounded by his own
children. Such an occasion ought to be of
annual occurrence in every parish.

a CASE OF SHEER UGLLNESS.
The Hone Boy Was Captured Last Night
He Pulled Out Womans' Hair-He
Throws Rocks.

About ten O'Clock last evening, Officers
Brown and Heating and Turnkey Emery
came into the police station carrying a
young man between them. He was apparent
ly unconscious and painted heavily. He was
the Hone boy'' so-called, who has been
making terror of himself ON Washington
street for the past few days. He is about 20
years old and half crazy. He is subject to
insane spells and fits, and then he is
dangerous. He has no parents, but lives
with family named Frank. who took him
when very young.
In his crazy fits he is likely to make
sudden and vicious attacks upon anybody,
either by throwing rocks OF nit his hands.
Last Saturday night he struck a drunken
man terrible blow with brick. Sunday
and Monday he was generally obnoxious,
and threw stones and made himself trouble
some. Tuesday, MRS. Cora Farr made
complaint of him at the police station. He
entered her yard and made a savage and
entirely unprovoked attack upon her. He
pulled out handfulls of her hair and when
help came his hands were SO clinched in her
hair that it was with great difficulty that
the fingers were pried open. Of course the
police have been looking for him since than.
but he is very sly and kept out of sight.
Deputy Sterling heard that he was seen
around the Portland and Rochester engine
house. Officers Brown and Heating went
after him. They sent in the Waterman first,
for fear he would see their uniforms and
run Che runs like deer) and the Waterman
found and held him. He screamed murder,
etc., and made great cutlery and fierce
fight.
His crazy fits are apparently fits of sheer
ugliness.
He will appear before Judge Gould this
morning. He will have to be cared for in
some way. as he is dangerous, and it is
feared that he will kill somebody sometime.

topic of conversation, but the friends of
candidates for register of deeds and county
commissioners were active.
