NEW YORK ABOLISHES THE COR.
ONER.

Following the examples Of Massachu-
sets and New Jersey. New York is
about to say farewell to that survival
Of primitive New England government.
known as the GROWERS quest" The
legislature has very considerably re-
Trained from legislating the present
Of New York city out Of office.
but the office will be abolished and no
successors to the present incumbents
will be elected.
After -four years Of constant effort,
and under the emergency message
from Governor Odell, both houses of
the legislature have finally passed a
bill which abolishes the office Of cor
one and vests the power of that func-
tionary in the board of health. police.
district attorney and grand jury. 1t
provides that a third bureau of the
board of health shall be created which
shall comprise a chief medical exam
iner with assistants. this bureau to
be recognized as authority in deter
mining the cause of death. All ap-
pointments to this division are t be
hiout ny liz Doalu uhhCl SlNh NltC
rules, thus removing it from the do
main of politics. The functions of the
examiners are to be limited to the de
termination of the actual cause of
death. With the evidence of medical
experts as a basis, the purely criminal
aspects Of any cas- are to be left IN
tirely to the grand jury. the district at
torney and the police. This evidence.
unlike that gathered by most coroners,
will have standing in court.
The Office of coroner in New York,
as in Illinois. presents the absurd ano.
maly Of uniting medical and criminal
functions in one man. who is very
rarely a skilled physician or a com.
petent lawyer. The bill not only de
stroys the Anticipated and o indefens-
ible system, but is wisely framed from
a practical constructive standpoint be-
cause it vests the functions of coroner
in Offices that already exist, and does
s. in such a way as to preclude all
clashing of authority.-Record-H Herald.

PROGRAM
COMMITTEE OF FAIR ASsoclA
TON DISCUSSES RACES WITH
THE HoRsEMEN OF CITY.
Beginning Of a Program for the After.
moons Of the Three Days Of the
Fair-Runnins. Trottine and Pac.
ing. With cowpony Races and
Wild West Exhibitions Galore.

The program committee of the Alb
any County and Inter-Mountain Fair
association held a meeting late yester-
day afternoon. at which were present
a number of horsemen and others,
and the racing program for the com.
ing county fair in September was dis.
cussed. 1t was decided to have at
least eight races each of the three
days of The fair. and these will in.
clude running. rrotting and pacing
races. cowpony races and wild west
exhibitions
The racing will begin At 2 O'Clock
each Afternoon and will constitute the
program for that portion of the day.
The stock judging and exhibiting will
be done in the forenoon. the fore part
Of the day ending with a parade OF
all the stock that has taken permiums
at the morning session. OF course the
exhibition took will be on the grounds
all the time and may be seer by Wis
itors to the fair.
One of the features of the race pro.
gram will be the wild west exhibi.
tons, but it was not determined yes
terday afternoon in regard TO the rop.
ing contests, which are frowned upon
by many as brutal and not of genera
interest. 1t is thought more than like.
ly that the coyote chase of last year
will not be repeated this year.
Some excellent running. trotting and
pacing races are looked for. as many
of the horses entered last year will
be back and the snug purses will at.
tract others. The track is better this
year than last and the added money
Will be an added incentive to get good
horses.
An effort will be made this year to
bring the hose companies to time in
the matter Of racing. A purse was
hung up last year. but the different
hose companies were unable to com.
pete. An automobile race will also be
a feature of Il of the afternoons
and there is talk of a ten-mile relay
race by cowboys and cowgirls, the
cap on account of sex. This ought
to attract a good deal of attention.
The determination of the program
committee, of course. will be submitted
to the board of trustees, but the com
mittee. acting with the horsemen OF
the county, will make a program that
will be satisfactory to all.
Asked about bicycle races, a mem.
Der of the committee said he was
personally no in favor of a purse for
this purpose, as racing on wheels had
come to be a lost art in Laramie,
where bicycles are ridden for comfort
and for a matter of business, and that
few racers are here. However, he
could not say what would be done in
this line. The athletic program would
include rock drilling contests, and ii
was hoped to have some athletic
events pulled off by the gymnasium
department of the university and 9th,
ers.
Altogether. the outlook at this time
is very bright for a splendid amuse
ment program at the three days fail
TO be held early in September.

that the cave was owe the mouth OF
an old shaft. In that shaft was found
the skeleton OF a miner.
The mine was relocated by Dingley

New York, April 1.-THE killing Of
Patrolman Hugh J. Enright in a fight
with a burglar recently caused the
death of his f~ather-in-law. John J.. Nor.
an, 20 years old. Since the hour when
Enright fell before the burglars PTS

two little grandchildren for a walk he
cried to his daughter. Hugh is calling
me; I am going to meet him. and fell
dead. The doctors say his heart was
broken.
An extraordinary tribute to the brav'
cry of Enright has been the raising
of a benefit fund for his family
which amounts to $4,000. 1t has been

To Illustrate how a person may err
in thinking IL home merchants do
not sell ss cheap as the merchants of
the east, it is only necessary to cite
a single recent and striking illustra.
ton. A gentleman wished to purchase
a safety razor. He sent to kampe
Bros, n. Y, Tor a catalogue. After Sc.
Letting the articles he desired, he in.
quired OF a local merchant the price
and found that he could saw exactly
$3.50 and the express by pur-
chasing at home. This cannot always
be done, but The Republican believes
that as a rule the local merchant can
duplicate any eastern prices and at
the same time the purchaser has the
advantage of being able to examine
articles before buying. There is a
great deal in reciprocal trade, too. We
are all dependent upon each other.
