MET DEATH BRAVELY.
For Fifteen Years Miss Austin Had
Taught In the Public schools.


Miss Flora Austin, who for the past
fifteen years has been a teacher in the
St Paul high school, and a resident Of
Merriam Park, died Friday morning at 5
O'clock Her death was not unexpected,
either by herself or her friends, and was
waited by her with a most unusual faith
and fortitude.
Miss Austin, says the Midway News,
leaves void that no one can fill. Her
character approached the IDEAL Her in
fluence, extending through so wide cir
Gle of acquaintance and over so many
successive years Of work in the st. Paul
high school, was as uplifting as 1t was wide.
She had gathered around her in the COM
munity, where, through the years she has
been so active in every good work,
large group of affectionate friends. Dur
ing the recent anxious years in our pub
lie schools she has been sacrificing,
loyal, beloved teacher. Her relation to
Merriam Park society was manifested
largely through her activity in the Pres
byterian church. She has given herself
to the culture and development OF the
young people she so much loved and by
whom she will be held in tenderest MEM
ory throughout their whole lives. 1t is
the common tribute of all that In Miss
Austin our community had a most beau
tiful type of cultured Christian woman
hood. That Womanhood, though cut
short in years, has been rendered more
beautiful by the noble, unselfish spirit
of her closing days on earth. She will
ever be a part of the life Of this suburb
that she loved so much. The fact that
she ended her work here, where she began
it nearly dozen years ago. will for all
time bind her into its memories and en-
nance that influence of which her life was
the source. The services in connection
with the funeral will be held on Monday
morning at 1890 at the family residence.
The burial to be private.

The local institutions for the cure of
alcoholism have united for the purpose,
Of testing the law making it incumbent
upon the county to stand the expense Of
furnishing liquor cure for any inebri-
ate who Is about to become a public
charge. Yesterday, for the purpose Of
making test case, Attorney Morton Bar
rows filed in probate court petition
signed by one Harry A. Sehott
In his petition Schott sets forth. that he
is thirty-four years cd, and SO addicted
to the use of intoxicants that he has at
times lost all self-control. Furthermore.
he alleges that himself and family are
about to become charges upon the coun-
ty, and asks that the probate Judge desig-
nate some institution to. which he can
be sent to be cured of chronic alcoholism.
1.-The petition raises an interesting que3-
tion," said Judge Bazille yesterday. "For
merly the probate court had the samo
jurisdiction of inebriates as of insane
persons, and it was discretionary with
the court to commit them to the special
ward for inebriates at the state hospital
at Rochester. Chapter 235, General Laws
of 1897, however, abolished the inebriate
department, and the same legislature
passed a substitute law providing that
the probate court could, upon petition,
designate any Institution for the cure of
the liquor habit and send the man there,
the expense to be paid by the county.
The eonstitutionality of the law has been
questioned, and there have never been
any applicants Now the various insd-
tutes have decided to test the law"
