That Xazareth hns Its creditable | quota of pretty girls is well known ' to the officials in charge of the an-j nual pageants. But in previous j years various Chambers ot Com-; merce, civic organizations and business men of most Pennsyhan-! la towns have brought such pres sure to bear upon the Internation at Association of Pulchritude that the allotted quota was quickly ex¬ hausted and no new towns could be added. This .vear, with seventy- two new towns being accepted, gives Xazareth a first class op¬ portunity for representation. Director Foster, of the Pennsyl¬ vania Beauty Pageant, will be In this community within the next few d^ys for the purpoae of mak¬ ing general survey uf local con- dltious with a view of stimulating Nasareth's prlda in its pretty girls.

All hotel and traveling expenses will be paid for "Miss .Vazareth" to go to the Philadelphia Pageant and if elected "Miss Pennsylvania" all expenses will be paid to Gal¬ veston, both for herself and a chaperone.

Altliough it was a tribute fo "Uncle Ed" from the schojl children, yet it developeci into a community affair and many resi¬ dents of the town attended the party during the afternoon. For some time tho chilrlreii have been anxious fo let "I'liole Ed" know of their kindly feelings to¬ ward hini. but his hirtliflay. oc¬ curring late in June is In vacation time, so tliey took fhe occasion nf Washinpton's Birthday to hold the affair When "Uncle Ed" arrived at tbe school, where the pupils and' guests bad gathered in a first floor room, he was met by Howard Ro¬ mig. attired as Uncle Sam. and was escorted to the seat of honor in front of fhe assemblage. Mr. Lear, who will be 90 years old on June 2!). was attired in his G. A. R. uni¬ form, and he received the tributes paid to him with the modesty and reserve which he shows In his ever-day life. He made no speech, and at the conclusion of the very interesting program, he quietly re¬ ceived the personal congratulations of all who attended, standing Qear the entrance to the room as the guests filed by and ahook his hand. The program opened with a chorus, "Join Us AH Ye Children." This was followed by a welcome, extended by Jack Redline. Anoth¬ er chorus, "Whom Do We Praise Today" was sung, with the audi¬ ence joining tn, the words being adapted to the name of "Uncle Ed" A patriotic pageant was then presented and the chorus sang "George Washington Was Once a Boy." Lorraine Hartley en¬ tertained with a solo. "A Colonial Tea Party" was followed by a chorus of flrst grade ''oys singing "If All the Trees Were Cherry Trees." A playlet, "February Crowned," was well presented and following this an exercise, "Our Pattern," was given. Another sane about "Uncle Bd." entitled "There Was a Man Born Long Ago." was sung by an octet of third grade pupils, and at the con¬ clusion "The Crowning of 'Papny"' was staged. "Pappy" is another name affectionatel.v bestowed on Mr. Lear by the pupils. During the program. David .•\n- drews, principal of fhe school spoke briefly of the relations be¬ tween Mr. Leir and the school children, and said that the reason the children all loved him so much was because he understood and loved children. He praised his character and his sincerity and told the children that they cnuld flnd no better exanitile to patter-i Coroner Nickel Speaks To Local Liond Gives General Outline of Work and Duty To Be Per¬ formed; Musical Selections Were Rendered - On Piano and Violin By Guest Artists H*ietn ' I Even tho the weath'-r couditfoiis' were iuclenieiit Tuesday e. ening,' the atlendunce of the Lions Club! reached the averuge. The meeting' was called to oi-d'.-r promptly at' <>:aO and after President Thaeler: heard reporta from the respective committees, he Introduced the sjieaker for the evening: This was' no otlier tlian Lion Doc. Nickel. | Coroner of our County. Tlie Doctor stated that he snould probably be a bit reluctant about di-icubsiiig in public the office ofl Coroner, .since he considered hiin-j .self more of a novice in the work rather than a finished product. ^lu^ however, pi'oved not to be a fact as the history related to this (i.!ice was thoroughly discussed by him. j He staled that the work consist¬ ed chiefly In.o making Inqulsitiun ^ into the death of those who met' their death by violence or unnat-l ural means and it was customary; under the English law to have! tour Coroners for each County. I This, he says, is still the custome ^ in vogue to-day in several states, mentioning .New Jersey as one of the states having two coroners to' each count.v He mentioned thej fact that the offlce of the Coroner i is one of the oldest county offices in existence to-day, dating back! to about .\. D. 1194 as far as canj be determined and Is found to ex¬ ist in almost every civilized nation at that time as it Is now. The name "Coroner" he stated, came from the Latin Corona, meaning crown and at that time was con¬ sidered the highest offlce In the cr)uuty.. I The chief ministerial duty that the coroner had to perform In Eng¬ land w.ts as a substitute to the Sheriff To-day in Pennsylvania the coroner is the only County^ offlcer that can serve a writ on the sheriff or In other words arrest him. j Tills Enslisb law was maintaiii- ed by WilHam Penn and settlers of th;it day here in Americt. hence when the first offlcers for the ori¬ ginal Counties were appointed: namely Philadelphia, Chester anl Bucks County, this same law be¬ came eflective. Therefore, in tbe year 1C8S. September Cth. William Penn appointed one Robert Hall Coroner of Bucks which also In¬ cluded Northampton and Monroe at that time After constitution of IS74. however, coroners were de- noinated county offlcers and since elected as such af fhe general elections. He also stated that aft¬ er pleot^d the coroner is required to tak? an oath of afflrmation for the due execution of his office and ia given a commission by fhe Com- monweal'h which is signed bv th>» Governor. Also, that he must fur¬ nish bond lo fhe amount of $l8,» 000 before he ts ready to go ta work and perform his duties. The working of ibe office, ba said, i.s based on the discovery of a body which has come to his or her death by violenco or which there ba-i been no physician tu at¬ tendance. And here, said he, the Coroner is dependent on the pub¬ lic for noiiflcation of any cases fliat might come under his luris¬ diction and is not liable If be Has not been it;formed of a death. After notification It Is his duty to visit site of death and view the re¬ mains, tnaking a compl.ile examin¬ ation and if possible disc )ver any cau-ie or sign.s of violetice. If none are found he jiermits the body to be removed to a morgue, issuee tho necpsary certificaten, enters the same on a docket, files the Inquhi> ition ill thd office of the Clerk of Quarter St?saions and tha routine is finished. In the event,' however, there is any reason for doubt an autopsy is performed bf a physician and the exact cause of death determined and whether or not an inquest should be held. If the coroner deems an Inquest es¬ sential he then proceeds to Iniraetl- gate to find any one that may have some Information that will throw some light on the case and they are retained as wltnesHes and tba Inquest time ii set and a jury of six Is impaneled. The defendant or accused may have an attorney if he HO desires and the Common¬ wealth is represented by the Dis¬ trict Attorneys office. If the County Detective has been called in on the case and has. a'^sisted the investigation, he is also called up¬ on to testify. After all the testi¬ mony has been given, the coroner makes his charge to the Jury, they retire, weight the testimony and render a verdict accordingly.
