A matron who under the last Coroner attended to the office whils the deputies were absent has been eliminated from the staff, and the necessity of her resence, not only as a substitute for the eputies, but as a companion for women who are brought by the force of unfor nate circumstances to visit the institution when some relative or friend rests on a slab within, has been greatly feit.

The officials in the Tax Collector’s of- fice are chuckling over the discomfiture of a certain Supervisor, who started out on a still hunt for patronage a few dars ago. At the last meeting of the Board ot Supervisors the Tax Collector was grant- ed twenty-four extra clerks -cord- ance with the desires of Aud who holds that th harter pro- vides specifically for the twenty-four ex- tra clerks it is necessary for the Super- visors to adopt resolutions to that effect. The clerks are already employed in the tax office, but the particular Supervisor aliuded to did not know this. He on knew that twenty-four clerks had been allowed and visions of a sinecure for one of his constituents floated through his brain. The next day he hastened to the tax ;oflh'r and greeting Collector Scott In a cordial manner. confided to him that he had voted for the measure and thought that to give him one of the clerks would be about right. Scott good humoredly in. formed the Supervisor that he was labor- ing_under a delusion. “The clerks,” sald §cott., “are already employed and Instead of puting om any more I have had to discharge two owing to the fact that the former License Col- lector and his twenty-eight deputies wera paid out of our funds for their services from Jaruary 1 to January 8, 1900, when the new officials ook office.
