DRY LAW KEEPS CORONER IDLE.

Pittsburg, Oct. 1. —People aren’t dying sudden deaths here any more. Prohibition did it, says the coroner, and because they don’t work hard enough he has reduced the pay of his force 50 per cent, besides laying off his deputy coroners for two weeks without pay each month.
