result of disappointment in love and
a determination never to recognize
men in any business or social relations,
Miss Sarah Jackson. living in the st.

bearers must be women and even those
who fill the grave after the coffin is
lowered must be of the gentler sex.
Money is set apart to meet all neces-

will discharge the duties to be per-
formed.

ment in love forty-five years ago, since
which time she has never spoken to
