Sometimes though very rarely, a tie
occurs, and in this case the president,

temporarily takes his place, has a cast

ship of the academy means much more
than the mere right to put the letters

pictures in the fine galleries at Bur
lington house. In the first place, an
academician is an esquire by right, and
not merely by courtesy, and, further
he is entitled, should he ever come on
hard times, to substantial pension
OF between $3.50 and 400 year. If
he dies leaving his widow unprovided

sum for her maintenance.

widows are also entitled to pensions, on
a somewhat smaller scale, so that there

Three hours after Mrs. Afford was laid in
the cemetery her husband was on his way
to Salem with his children. Late Saturday
night teams came from that city and ca-ted
his household effects away. The house was
closed up and Is now deserted. Afford did
not go before the authorities to lodge a
complaint against the men who we're re-
