PATRoLMAN JOSEPH LAcoSTE.

The large number of persons who
attended the funeral of Patrolman Jo-
seph Lacoste, who was killed by the
negro Edwards, testified to his worth
as an officer and a man. Mayor Behr.
man, Inspector Reynolds, Senior Cap
tain John P. Boyle and Police Commits
sioners Hincks and Pardue were pres.
ent. A detail of twenty men, headed
by Sergeant Clavin and Corporal Geo.
Bengart, accompanied the remains to
their last resting place in st. Mary's
cemetery.
The hour set for the funeral was 2
o'clock, and by that time there was a
large representation of the citizenship
of Algiers in the home, and those who
were unable to find room stood in the
yard with heads barred while the cere-
mony of the Catholic Church for its
The funeral took place from the late
residence of the deceased officer, in
Hines avenue, McLellanville, at 2:30
o'clock Friday afternoon.
Patrolman Lacoste's death is sim
cerely regretted generally by the
members of the force and by his many
friends and acquaintances because Of
the merits he possessed, both as a po-
lice officer and as a man.
1t was said of Patrolman Lacoste by
a friend at headquarters, who has
known the deceased for many years,
that the deceased officer would have
gone through fire to do his duty. Pa
trolman Lacoste, for some time back,
has done duty in the lower section Of
Algiers, where he covered a wide area,
almost deserted, an assignment that
few, if any, members Of the force rel
ish. Lacoste was never known to
shirk his duty and was conscientious
to a fault in the performance of same.
He leaves a widow and w chill
dren, who were dependent upon him.
Pursuant to an order from the in.
spector of police, every police station,
including the inspectors Office at po-
lice headquarters, was draped in
mourning Friday morning and will re-
main so for thirty days. Besides, ev-
cry member of the police force will
wear a badge of mourning for the
same period.
AS a mark Of sorrow and grief for
their lamented brother officer, the po-
lice of the Eighth Precinct, headed by
Sergeant Strobel and Corporal Ben
CERT, sent to the grief-stricken home
of the brave officer a handsome floral
offering in the design Of a police
badge, the star and crescent. The Of
fering was a personal n from the
deceased's brother members at the
Eighth Precinct, with whom he has
served ably for the past six years, and
everyone contributed.
A number of handsome floral offer
ings were placed on his last resting
place in st. Mary's cemetery.

CORONATION OF ENGLAND's KING

Last week witnessed the long
looked fOrWard-to coronation of
King George V. and his consort
Queen Mary Victoria of England,
the great ceremonial taking place in
Westminster Abbey on Thursday.
King George is the sixth ruler of
the House sOf Hanover, son of the
late King Edward VII and grandson
of Queen Victoria. He is 46 years
old and the queen is A. 1t was a
proud day for the British empire
but of all it's millions the one who
perhaps had the most reason to be
proud was denied by court etiquette
the JOY of witnessing the triumphal
event. At Sandringham palace the
queen mother Alexandria, who
forty six years ago gave birth to the
son who has just been crowned
king, awaited the news that he ad
taken his place in the long line of
British mOnarchs.
The crown placed on King
Georges head is of solid gold,
studded with precious stones of
inestimable value, including 5000
diamonds, 300 pearls and hundreds
of rubies, emerals and sappires The
queens crown contains the famous
Kohinoor diamond with it's legend
of bringing good luck.
Among the notable guests Amer
lea was represented at the corona
tion by U. S. Ambassador Wh1telaw
Reid, the Amer lean special envoy
John Hays Hammond, many
American wives of English peers,
members of the American de-
plomatic corps ami numerous I'M
Official Americans, including Chas.
P. Taft, brother of the president. If
plans made several weeks ago were
carried out it is likely that portion
of the spectacle was witnessed by
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Walker, of
Lancaster, who are now visiting in
England.

By a vote of SO to 80 the Wiscon-
sin Assembly last Friday night
killed the Husting bill that proposed
to wipe out all percentage require
ments in party nominations. On
this measure the democrats killed
their own chances of relief from the
present 20 per cent law. During
the last campaign much compl amt
was occasiOned by this requirement
of the law and quite generally
democrat candidates throughout the
state were obliged to have their
names appear as independent nom
nations upon the ballot. through
failure to receive 20 per cent of
their party vote at the primaries,
which would have entitled them to
have their names placed under the
democratic ticket heading on the
ballot. At different intervals dur
ing the progress of the Husting
bill through the present legislature
they have secured a reduction of
the percentage requirement to ten
per cent and then to five, but the
senator's last attempt to wipe out
all percentages caused the republl-
cans to balk and to kill the bill.

Postmaster General Hitchcock
states in his report that whereas he
inherited a deficit Of $I7, 500, 900
when he took charge of the post
office department he has now sue
ceeded in making the department
self supporting for the first time in
thirty years. Accordingly he has
returned to the treasury the three
millions of dollars set aside for
postal expenses and says he will
show surplus of at least a million
dollars at the end of the year. Mr..
Hitchc )ck asserts that the big
saving has been brought about by
the introduction of business methods
and not by the curtailing of mail
facilities. The recent record obtained
Of the amount of mail annually
carried bv the railroads shows that
they are being paid an exces-
s1ve rate and if this can be reduced
to the proper basis there is room for
q much more favorable condition OF
affairs in the department How
ever in spite of the excellent show
ing the postmaster gen raj has
made there are those who are re
viving the old cry that the public
prefers an enl arged service to a
self supporting one. Some people
simply will not be pleased, no
matter what you do for them.

year old son Of Chas. Veeperman Of
South Lancaster, who disappeared
from his home during the forepart Of
April was found Saturday on the farm
of j. Fox near Oregon, Wis. He had
been employed there since he left
home and was satisfied with his work
although not unwilling to return
home with his father. The discovery
OF the boys whereabouts came a week
or SO ago when Mrs. Vespe1man re
ceived card postmark ed Madison and
signed M. D. to the effect that the
writer knew where Glenn Vesperman
was located. Considerable correspond
ence followed and on Saturday Mr..
Vesperman went to Madison. He

found the writer of the card who told
him where Glenn was employed. The
two returned home together Sunday.

Legend of the Ugly Elves and Hendrick
Hudson and His Men.


Hudson and His Men.
In the Catskill mountains, back of
Grand Hotel station is a large amphi-
theater where. Indian legend tells us.
live the ugly little Catskill dwarfs
with bushy boards and eyes like pigs
who can do many marvellous things.
They work surprisingly we'll in met
ais, and it is from their FORCES that in
autumn comes the haze of Indian sum
mer.
But their most marvellous feat is the
brewing Of a liquor which shortens the
bodies and swells the heads of all who
drink it,
1t was to their tender mercies that
Hendrick Hudson and his men fell,
having landed from the Half Moon
and lost their way among the noun
tains. The gnomes held a mad ca
rouse in their honor. capering and
dancing around the amphitheater and
bringing forth great 1agons of their
magic wine.
Hudson and his men drank freely
and deeply. only to become misshapen,
ugly dwarfs from that time forth.
Since then they have wandered around
the CatskilI mountains, appearing to
men once in twenty years.
The last time they were due to be
seen was in 1909. SO now they will
not appear again until 1929. when any
one daring enough can go up to the
mountains to test for himself the truth
of the legend. Phebe Eldridge in

EXQUISITE PAIN.
The Fifth and Dental Nerves Are the
Most Agonizing ThriIIers.

Most Aeonizing ThrilIers.
Which part of the human body is the
most sensitive to pain?
A sharp definition must be drawn
here between irritation and pain. Irri-
tation is not pain, but only a frequent
cause of it. Thus a crumb lodged in
the larynx near the vocal cords pro-
duces violent irritation and prolonged
coughing. which often result in actual
pain. So. too a fly or speck of dust in
the eye sets up violent irritation and
Inflammation. followed by acute pain.
Of the surface Of the body the finger
tips and the end of the tongue are most
sensitive. For instance, burn on the
fingers is much more painful than one
on the back would be. while one on the
tongue would be more painful still
Deep wounds are not painful, as a
rule, save as regards the surface in
jury. Of pains not caused by external
injuries neuralgia Of the fifth nerve,
the one which supplies the skin of the
head and face. is the most intense. It
has frequently driven people mad for
the time being. and sufferers have been
known to cut and even burn the flesh
in desperate attempts to relieve it. The
rupture of the branches of the dental
nerve in tooth drawing also causes
agony SO intense that it has been stated
that no human being could endure it
for more than two seconds at a time
