Important Opinion.

Assistant Attorney General Flowers
has rendered a very important opin-
ion to the board of supervisors Of Gre
NADIA county relative to the division
Of responsibility between counties and
municipalities for the burial Of pau
pers. This is a subject about which
disputes are almost continuous in Mis-
sisippi, and the opinion from the at
torney-general's Office will have the
effect Of settling these controversies,
for it is general in it's application. In
stances are frequently reported where
the corpses Of paupers have been al
lowed to remain unburied for several
days while county and municipal
boards disputed as to which body
should defray the expenses Of inter
ment. Mr.. Flowers points out at much
length the circumstances under which
the county is the responsible party,
and also shows circumstances under
which the municipality in which the
death occurred must bear the expense.
He also cites instances where "a coun-
ty to pay expense Of pauper burial,
should the pauper be a rent resident
Of the county. The opinion will serve
as a valuable guide for county and
municipal boards in future disputes
Of this character.

soon brought him to the bank in safe

"step-off", and was about to sink, but
he was able to swim a little, and with

Coffin Plates Once Used as House Or

Coffin Plates Once Used as House Or.
namentS In Maine.
In New England 100 years ago it was
by no means uncommon for people to
provide their collins long before their
death and keep the same in their
houses, where they could see them ev-
cry day. 1t was perhaps a custom hav-
ing the same purpose and significance
as the skeleton at the feasts o. the an
Gent Greeks, to remind the living in
their hours of levity of the seriousness
of life and the certainty of death.
This was not the idea, however, Of a
man named Lindsey, whom people now
living in Leeds may remember or at
least have heard Of. He built his own
coffin many years before he died and
used to keep it in a chamber of his
house. He used it generally to keep
beans in. 1t was a very fine coffin,
made of mahogany and nicely finished
and polished. Mr.. Lindsey made it
Win llAS ONh hoAtuS anu SAVE dc ICdSOu
that if he left the task of providing
him with a coffin to his sons it would
be Just like them to put him in hem
lock one. Perhaps the boys did not
relish the implication. At any rate,
they did not like to have the coffin
about the house and took it away one
night and threw it into the river 1t
was found several miles below, consid-
erably broken and battered as it went
over the rips, and old Lindsey heard
about Il, drove down and got it and
was finally buried in it.
Another queer custom that prevailed
in this section of Maine down to a
comparatively recent date was that of
renewing the plate from the coffin after
the funeral and just before the body
was lowered into the grave and keeping
IT in the best room in the house among
the ornaments and bric-a-brac The
writer saw one of these grewsome ex-
hibits on the mantel of a Lincolnville
parlor not more than twenty-five years
ago, and we shouldn't be surprised if
quite a number Of them could be found
in the old houses throughout Maine

AMMUNITION DID NOT ARRIVE
AND AS CONSEQUENCE BIG YES
Sci WILL NOT LEAVE NEW Or
LEANS UNTIL SOME TIME DUR
ING TO-DAY.

The cruiser Brooklyn, which has
been in New Orleans for several
weeks, did not reach Pensacola yes
terday morning as anticipated, being
delayed al that port on account of
the non-arriYal of a large amount Of
ammunition. II is expected, however,
that she will sail from New Orleans
this morning ana consequently will
reach here tomorrow. The New Or
leans Picayune of yesterday in speak
ing Of the Brooklyn said:
Owing to the failure of three car
loads Of ammunition to arrive here
on time the cruiser Brooklyn win not
leave here until Tuesday morning
and if there is a further delay in the
arrival of the firing materials the
ships departure will be deferred prob
ably a day or two later.
The Brooklyn was TO have sailed
from here yesterday morning, but the
departure was delayed pending the
arrival of the three cars, only one of
which has come. This will give Cap
tain Hawley and the officers and men
an opportunity of spending another
Sunday in New. Orleans. The delay
will also give the public another
chance of visiting the ship, as visitors
will be received aboard this afternoon
from l to 5 o'clock This morning
Captain Hawley will make his usual
weekly inspection, ana the officers
and men will be assembled at quar-
tiers. after which the enlisted men will
have the balance Of the day for their
own recreation.
Visitors were allowed on the
Brooklyn yesterday for only an hour.
The tug Polo started carrying pAs5en-
gers at O'Clock, but an hour later
the captain of the boat was notified
by the officer OF the deck that on ac-
count of the inclement weather no
more visitors would be received. In
structions were also given to take the
passengers of the ship as quickly as
1 possible.
About fifty bluejackets attached to
the Brooklyn crew, who were given
shore-leave, have been reported miss
ing. They have not been enterd on
the ships log as deserters. but unless
the men show up before the vessel
sails they will be put in that class.
Captain Hawley believes that the alb
sentees will come back all right, as
they have been careless on account of
the Carnival festivities

BOOKS.

A collection of books is a real uni
versity
Some books are to be tested, others
to be swallowed and some few to be
chewed and digested.-Bacon.
A good book is the precious Ifeblood
of a master spirit embalmed and treas
ured up on purpose to life beyond
life.-Milton.
We can take reproof patiently from a
book, but not from a tongue. The
book hurts not our pride; the living re-
proven does.-T. Adams.
If the secret history of books could
be written, how many insipid volumes
would become interesting and dull
tales excite the reader!-Thackeray.
OF all the privileges we enjoy in this
century there is none perhaps for which
we ought to be more thankful than for
the easier access to books.-Lubbock.
