there is modification ahead for the
wearer who has not had sufficient fore
sight 10 look after her heavy clothing
until a change in the weather obliges
her to wear it as II is or to go cold.
What applies to outer clothing is as
true Of heavy underwear in the we'll
kept household all such articles have
been repaired ana put in perfect order
before they were packed away in the
spring.
But not only are there unwise vir-
gins who nave neglected these precau-
tons, but many are the households in
which work Of this sort has been crowd
ed out by other more Immediate tasks
The thick stockings for the children,
the heavyweight nightdresses for their
mother, the wooi,n underwear OF all the
family. must be seen to now. Patches
must be set, breaks darned, buttons
sewed en-. One never guesses how much
there is to do until the garments are
inspected.
What IS to be done for the heavy
garments it is well to dc also for light

aside. A trunk may be filled with thin
wearing apparel which will not be need

spring days.
This. too. is the time to begin plan

Of stock must be taken, as it were. Last
years garments must be inspected to

and to ascertain what supplies Will be
needed.

II addition to all this. there are things

strips do not seem a pressing need at

have them nut on a little in advance
than 10 wait until the wind whistles

Drivers to City Jail.

That the Black Maria is becoming a
target for the Shaft poles of ell tho ve-
hicles in the city seems to be tho trouDle
which is worrying Patrol Driver AIingea.
That cumbersome wagon with its loud
gong is supposed to make enough Noise to

drivers seem to forget that the chariot
of the law has the right Of way over
everything except fire wagons and am
balances.
Twice during the past week has the
old veteran been rammed Yesterday the
driver for tine Swift Packing COMPANY
was trottng along an avenue with the
patrol on the inside next to the curb.
They were going at a fast clip, and the
city's horse was about to break into a
gallop when the other vehicle was turned
suddenly across the street into a livery
stable The action almost caused n col
lision. Mr.. Mingea was forced to turn
into another buggy, which was standing

structs his passage into the interior of his
own vehicle, and rides him off to the

CORONER DECIDES
To HOLD THE BODY
Unknown Man May Be from
Savannah
SECRET INQUEST PLANNED
Will Be Held Next Wednesday, at
Which Time All of the Details
of the Mystery Will Be
Threshed Out.

Coroner Paris has at the last moment
decided to postpone the burial of the I'M
known man whose remains have been ly-
ing at the undertaking establishment OF
the Gaudin Company for the past six
weeks. He does it in order to give the
relatives of the deceased a few more
days in which to claim their kinsman,
and give him a proper interment.
Instead of laying the corpse in the Pot
ter's field today the coroner has delayed
action until next Wednesday, Meanwhile
he, with a number of assistants will
work diligently on the case in a final
effort to establish the identity Of the
man.
one reason Of the postponement was TO
allow him time to investigate the last and
eighth identification that has been sent
in by guessers. The name of the man
suspected now is w. c. Burrows, a car
penter. 1t Is said that Burrows lived in
Savannah, Ga, and that he was TO have
left this city for his home over a month
ago. AS he has never reached that point
his friends suspect foul play
A letter has been written 10 the chief
of police of Savannah requesting infor-
nation. and it may be that tbs will clear
up the mystery. In the mainline all
other cluesswill be traced out and every
effort will be made to give tie corpse a
name.
The coroner has impanneled jury to
meet in the parlors of the Galdin Under
taking company at $3.50 O'Clock Wednes
Gay morning, when everything that has
been unearthed will be considered. The
jury will be composed of j. A. Stewart
of Cardiff, Frank Phillips Of Republic, j.
b. Hambright of Leeds, Dec Smart of
Ensley, c. w. Austin and Steve Virgins
of this city.
Subpoenas have been ISSUED to many of
the parties over the state wio have posi-
lively identified the body to )e present at
the inquest, as well as to citizens in the
city who have testified on The case. The
session will be secret one and the result
is awaited with much interest by the
public.
