CORONERS IN MAINE FOR SALE FOR RENT ETC
More Than Officials For Probing Cases
of Violent Deaths
Suppose you know all about the du
ties of a coroner Perhaps it would
bo safer to say you think you do for
the chances are that your real knowl
edge of what thete ofliclals do is some
what limited It wouldnt he at all
strange If there are many lawyers
who aro not thoroughly acquainted
with the duties and privileges of these
officials
Time was when coroners of Maine
outranked the sheriffs Ever hear
about that It wasnt so many years
ago In those days the coroners were
required to give a bond of 50000 and
the sheriff one of 10000 Today it is
different The sheriffs give the same
big bond but the coroners have to
have financial backing to the extent of
only about ji thousand The legisla
ture has changed the law
Even now there are only two ollicials
who can serve a paper upon a sheriff
a coroner or a high sheriff of another
county It used to be that the coroner
was the only one who could do this
There are times when it becomes
necessary to serve a writ of attach
ment upon a sheriff and this too
wIipii be doesnt owe the man who
makes the atachinent a single penny
A brings a suit against B and at
taches his property to insure getting
his cash B however owes C a cer
tain sum Now the property which
A has attached is worth a great deal
more than the amount of As claim
C cant very well attach it because
there is already an attachment To
cover his claim he must attach the
sheriff as custodian of the property
To look out for his own interests he
had the attachments made Hero is
where the coroner comes in He or
the high sheriff of another county must
make the sen ice As coroners are
for the most part most accessible
they are called for ofteuest in these
cases
The coroner also does the work of
a sheriff or his deputy in the case of
the death o a sheriff
AVhen a sheriff dies his deputies die
with him In such an event the coun
ty is left without a sheriff or a depu
ty sheriff Its only officers to serve
civil papers are constables and they
cannot mako attachments above a cer
tain sum Some provision has to be
made by law to guard against emer
gencies On the death of a sheriff the
governor first of all appoints a jail
breaker so that there may be some
person legally to have charge of con
victs in the penal institution of the
county After that he names a sheriff
to fill the unexpired term But this
doesnt provide for the service oi civil
papers
nere is where the coroner steps in
He under the laws of the state has
power to serve these papers
The last sheriff to die in office in
Maine was Sheriff Reed of Penobscot
county in 1893 In the time between
his death aud the appointment of his
successor Charles R Brown of Spring
field there came an important attach
ment to be made on a Bangor concern
A coroner was called in by the firm of
lawyers who had the case and he was
requested to make the service It was
but he successfully
a new duty for the man
cessfully grappled with it
You see coroners are something more
than officials for investigating cases of
violent deaths Lewiston Journal
An Emperors Attic
The winter palace of the czar sur
nasses auv other palace in Europe It
is on the banks of tho Neva and owes
its existence to the Empress Catherine
II that most extraordinary woman
extraordinary in ability and in vice
the surprise of all her contemporaries
and the wonder of all who have stud
ied her character The building is
four stories high of a light brown
color and highly ornamental in archi
tecture It is a wilderness of halls
stairways and apartments The Nich
olas hall and the St Georges hall will
never bo forgotten by those who have
seen them
One of the most interesting rooms is
that where Nicholas I died It is in
the upper story of the northeast corner
of the building and is approached by
four doors and finally by a narrow
passage It is a small om oniy
about eighteen feet long and twelve
feet wide with two small windows
and is the place where the emperor
spent most of his time when not of
ficially employed It is the oo i in
which he died some say by poison ad
ministered by hhuelf in a lit of mel
ancholy induced by the outcome cf the
Crimean v ar The room remains just
as he left it Near the center is a
plain iron bedstead Some chairs and
a few cheap pictures adorn the room
and a dilapidated down at the heel
pair of slippers complete the furnish
ings of the attic room in the palace
Dancing Birds
One of the many strange sights on
the plains of southern Africa is a p ir
ty of -waltzing ostriches Their qucor
antics have been described thus
When there are a number of them
they will start off in the morning aud
after running a few hundred yards will
stbp and with raised wings will whirl
rapidly round till they are stupefied or
perhaps break a leg The males pose
also before fighting and to make their
court They kneel on their ankles
opening their wings and balancing
themselves alternately forward and
backward or to one side or the other
while the neck is stretched on a level
with the back and the head strikes the
sides now on the right now on the
left while the feathers are bristling
The birds appear at this time so ab
sorbed in their occupation as to forget
all that is going on around them and
can be approached and caught The
male alone utters a cry which sounds
much like an effort to speak with the
mouth shut tiirht
