THE LOST METROPOLls


Morning papers Two hundred lives Lost
bit of type, newsboy's cry,
passing glance, perhaps a sigh
At what Is written there.
lashiDg storm, a coast ~ dread
A shipwreck. and two hundred dead
The old, the young, the fair.
The hopes ~ better days ahead
or comforts store, OF warmth and bread
For dear ones left on shore.
A sinking ship, one thought alone
or orphans fears, OF widows moan,
One cry, and all Is DER.
A happy hoine, with tender ties,
Awaiting, meath Brazilian skies,
welcome just ahead.
An infant boy on mothers breast
As white as CLEANS the breakers crest
That shrouds the cold, cold dead.
The ships sail out, and ships sail in,
And wealth goes out more wealth to win,
And love TO meet its own;
But ships go down, and cries go up,
And wealth inverts her jeweled cup
Above the dying moan.
A bending sky DER ripping bay,
A noble ship with banners gay,
voyage 30 sunny lands.
A bit of type, a newsboy's cry
Two hundred soulless bodies lie
On Cardinals sands.

A Remarkable Case.

About six months ago the police of
the Sixth Precinct were called to take
charge of young woman named Hat
tie Ducher, aged twenty-five years, who
was employed as u servant in the fami-
ly of a gentleman residing on Delaware
street, near Cold Springs. She had
been conducting herself in such a re-
markable manner that it was supposed
she was insane. Arrangements were
made by which she was placed in the
Providence Asylum, where she re-
NAMED short time, when she was re-
moved to the house of her uncle,
Charles Vogt, on Delavan avenue. We
now come to the curious part of the
story, and give the facts Just as they
were received from good and reliable
authority.
1t is asserted that for about twenty
weeks past the young woman has lain
in bed with her eyes closed, and both
hands clenched and pressed up to the
sides of her face, and, further, that she
has not spoken word during all this
time. A gentleman who visited her
states that he attempted to open one of
her eyes, but it was Immediately closed
again. He also Strengthened out one
of her arms, but it returned mechanic
ally to its former position. When food
is put into her mouth she eats it, but
does not ask for any.
The case is certainly very remarka-
BILE, and is supposed to be one of paral-
ysis, or suspended animation" The
family are said to be quite poor, and
we do not learn that the matter has re-
ceived much attention at the hands of
medical men, but certainly, if the case
is as represented to us, some of our
physicians would do well to investigate
it.-Butalo Commercial AdUertiSer.
