the books of his Office had not
been turned over to the new
Council, Ex-C City Treasurer F. V.
MOuton stated that the books
were ready and have been ready
at 80 minutes notice to be turn
ed over; but inasmuch az the
new Council failed to make a de-
mand upon him or even notify
him of the day and hour OF
either of their meetings, he
could not we'll deliver them. Be-
sides his books were checked by
the old finance committee only to
April 80, and as he had received
money and paid warrants since,
it will be necessary for the new
finance committee to check him
before he turns over the books.

Very ancient are some of the badges
of mourning that are common in the
United States today. The white hearse
and the white Grape at the funerals of
children find their counterparts in Eng
land, where the funerals of children
and young unmarried persons are at
tended by mourners wearing hatbands
and sashes of white. This is said to be
a survival of the days when royal wild
ows wore robes of white in their
mourning. THE white queen was a
description bestowed upon Mary Stu
art because she wore white for the
death Of Darnley. The black flag and
the judges black cap are parts of an
Client mourning regalia. When a city
defying a besieging force was to be
given over to destruction the black
flag was hoisted to signify that the
time for mercy Is now past" Trage-
dies in Shakespeare's time were per-
formed upon a stage draped with
black.
