ACTING upon that portion of the law
which gives him discretionary power,
Coroner Fisher is reported to have decided
to postpone indefinitely the inquiry into
the death Of August Mueller, who died at
Burlington week ago under circumstan-
ces that certainly need investigation If
the reports are correct this sudden deter
mination of Coroner Fisher is not on ac-
count of desire to avoid unnecessary ex-
pense but is said to be the enforcing of a
threat not to hold any more inquests if the
Board of Freeholders, at its meeting on
Wednesday, refused to pay bills that had
been presented to it. If this action of
Coroner Fisher is to be permanent ar
rangement it is all right, it will save lots
of trouble in the future. But there is one
thing he should bear in mind and that is
that he is not master of the situation. with
power to act only for his own interest and
for the benefit of his own pocket, A cor
oner is elected to perform duties of the
most important character, for which SER
vice he receives fees stipulated by law.
When he receives his commission he sub
scribes to an oath not in any case ito use
or exercise the Office illegally, corruptly
or unjustly, but to demean myself honest
ly, fairly and impartially" When an Of
ficer refuses to act unless former bill is
paid, can he be said to be "acting impair
tally? Another item in the law govern.
ing Coroners should also be needed. II
recites that Coroner who does not hold
an inquisition when necessary, may be
fined $500 This whole trouble appears to
have originated over the bill in the case Of
Nicholas Shaffer, who shot himself at Bur.
lington. The man first shot his wife and
then committed suicide. The deed was
done in broad daylight in presence Of
witnesses, who saw the shot which killed
the man instantly, There was not the
slightest pretence on which to base an in
quest, and the Board of Freeholders die
right when it refused to pay that bill. In
the case in which Coroner Fisher now re-
fuses to act the situation is different The
deceased died under circumstances that
demand thorough investigation at the
hands of jury, and it is the Coroner's
sworn duty to perform this act without re,
gard to the payment of costs. Because he
has neglected or refused to do so should not
be sufficient reason for letting this matter
drop. Coroner Fisher is not the only Cor
oner in this County. Prosecutor Budd
should take hold of this case officially,
and, if necessary, direct another Coroner
to investigate. And he should not stop
there. If Fisher refused or neglected to
act on the reasons stated the Prosecutor
should take steps to see that he is punish
ed for his actions.

Blankets l

Blankets LOOKING back over
tWenty-one years of
blanket selling we find no record of
values such as we're giving now.
Nor should we. The blanket chief
has been working the stocks nearer
and nearer to mercantile perfection
which means dependable goods,
as handsome as may be, at least
prices.
Conditions favored him last win
ter and spring. The dark hours be-
fore the dawn of better times drove
prices lowest.
If we speculated, we'd ask third
more for our blankets. Comparison
shows that we are alone in giving
full benefit to the consumer of the
prices we got. Or else, others bought
blankets late or poorly. Nobody is
charging more than blankets are
worth. We are charging a fourth
to third less than today's worth.

The story is told in New Hamp-

one Sunday escaped from the poor
farm. and in the course OF his wan
derings entered the orthodox" church.
The day was hot and the sermon
long; the congregation drowsed in
their seats. or sleepily famed them
selves and wished the minister would
draw his remarks to close. Sudden
ly the half-witted boy entered at the
rear of the church. with his arms load
cd with apples. He threw one OF them
at the right-hand wall. where It hit
with a squashing sound. and spattered
down upon the head OF slumbering
deacon, who gave sudden start and
sat up very straight. The minister
paused, and addressed the sexton.
who had also suddenly wakened from
n nap.

said. with some severity.

swered the half-wit. as he aimed an
other apple: you go right along with
what you were saying. and I'll keep

As rule. they act up to this article
OF belief. or. rather, they live down to
1t. Yet once upon a time. even in In
dia. there seems to have been a golden
ago for women. Their present social
condition is traced to the Mohammedan
invasion. The country was harrassed
by erruptions of Arabs and Persians
from the year 1000 until 1t was con-
quered by the Sultan Baber in 1s25.
The Moslems brought with them not
only ravage and bloodshed, but many
evils hitherto unknown in the country.
The Hindoo homes were robbed OF their
women and girls to fill the harems. or
zenanas, as they are called in India.
and the Hindoos shut up their wives
and daughters in order to protec.
them. Only the higher castles could
do this effectually. Stern necessity re-
quired that the poorer girls ard women
should work. and 1t offers degrees OF
liberty on a descending scale. The
higher the caste, the more complete the
seclusion.
It is computed that at least 100000
girls and women live behind the pur-
dab. or curtain. metaphor!caliy veil
of dignity. which shuts them on from
the outer world. 1t is not from want
of natural humanity that zenana is
the darkest part of the house and
Ifarthest away from the entrance Into
the street. A Hindoo is very religious:
1t is said that he even ''sins religious
ily." His sacred books tell him that
"a woman must be protected; that she
must not be allowed to look out OF
window Into the street; that no man
except q near relation must look on
her face. and. II she offends. she may
be corrected by "a rope. a whip or
