The Remarkable Case or ROBERT NUS
terrman, who slept for week
and Died.

From the New York SUM-
Robert Musterman, of Flatlands, l..
l., who wenS to sleep on "Wednesday a
week ago and could not be awakened
died yesterday morning about z O'Clock.
Mustesman, who was a native OF Ger
many, and about 20 years of aye, was
employed by Tax Collector Basley OF
Flatlands to do work about tue larm
Being extraordinarily strong, he was
able to do the work of two ordinary
men. Musterman was III the habit OF
drinking a great deal of strong hquor
after his days work. On "Wednesday
night of last week Musterman retired
to bed at 10 o'clock. On Thursday
morning, as he did not arise as usual,
Mr.. Baisley went to his room to awake
hun. Nfusterman had the appearance
of man III sound sleep, aud Mr.. Bals-
lev shook him roughly, bat could not
awake him.. DIR. Bowlesby, OF East
New York, applied Sestoratives without
effect. On Fsiday Dr.. Ingraham, OF
Flatbush, was called, and he, too, was
unable to- awake Musterman from his
Rip Van Winkle-like sleep. Dr. In
graham thought it was case "a
apoplexy, the result of drinking too
pauch strong liquor. He ordered beet
tea and nourishing diets to be forced
down the sleeping mans throat No
change was noticed in Musternan' con-
dition until Monday. Then his eyes
opened for II few minutes and closed
again.
Much interest was taken In this
sleeping phenomenon, and Mr.. Baisley
was bothered with many visitors who
came FROM miles around. Musterman
lay in the garnet OF Baisley's story and
a-half house on the Canarsie road. He
seemed to sleep calmly, snored loudly,
and perspired freely Before his death
he gasped conEulslvely a few times, but
did not awake. He had been sleeping
six DAYS and four hours.

ELECTIONS TODAY.

Elections for State officers are being
held to-day in Ohio and Iowa. In Iowa
there is no doubt whatev err as to the
result. The State is as strongly Re-
publican as Kentucky is Democratic,
and the election there is said to have
no political significance. In Ohio both
the Democrats and Republicans are
confident OF securing victory. There
are three tickets in the field, but the
Greenbackers are not considered in the
fight, though they may draw enough
votes from the Democrats to defeat
them. The Democratic candidate for
Governor is General Thomas Ewing,
who fought in the war for the Union
and made good record as q soldier.
His Republican opponent is Charles
Foster, who did not serve in the war,
but made handsome fortune by selling
goods while Ewing was fighting.
Ewing, the Union soldier, is considered
. dangerous man to elect Governor Of
Ohio, because he is Democrat, while:
Foster, the stay at-home patriot, is
deemed eminently worthy, because he
is a Republican. This is one of the
principles of politicians of the. stalwart
order. They reward men Like Long
street and Mosby, who were noted reb
els, for becoming Republicans, and de-
nounce Union soldiers who happen. to
be Democrats. The Administration,
while pretending to. have great synapa-
thy for the men who tonight to preserve
the Union, oxerlooks. thousands of them
TO find rebels who have become Repub-
beans to fill fat offices. Every official
and Department clerk in Washington
has been assessed to raise money to. de.
feat a. Union soldier for Governor of
Ohio and elect man who did not, like
Blaine, even fight by proxy in the war,
though in the. prime of life and able
bodied when soldiers were, wanted
Ohio is one of the doubtful States.
In the Presidential election of 1876
Hayes majority over Tilden was 1916,
cut of a total vote of 650,771. In 1877,
with five candidates in the field for
Governor, Bishop, Democrat, was, elect
ed by majority oyer all of p. $40
while in 1873, a year later, Barnes, Re
publican, was elected Secretary Of State
by majority of 1854. Where, the to-
tai vote is so large and the. parties 50
nearly equally divided, it is impossible
10 foretell the result Of the election to
day. As Shernan's candidacy for the
Presidency depends upon the election
Of Foster, the Administration has done
all in it's power to defeat Ewing, but
whether or not it has succeeded the
returns alone will alone determine.

CITING GLASS.
A Way or Doing IL Not Generally
known.

A Way or Doing IL Not Generally
known.
The. Woodworker says glass may be
readily cut under water to almost any
shape with pair OF shears or strong
scissors. In order to insure success,
two points must be attended to !. First,
and most important, the glass must be
kept quite level in the water while the
scissors are applied and secondly, to
avoid risk, it is better to begin the cut
ting by taking off small pieces at the
corners and along the edges, and so re-
duce the shape gradually to that re-
quired,. as if an attemptis made to cut
the glass all at once in the shape, as we
world cut piece of cardboard, it will
most Likely break where it is not want
el. Some' kinds of glass cut much, bet
ter than. others, the softer glasses being
the best. for this purpose. The scissors
need no be at all sharp, as their action
does not appear to depend Oh the state
of the edge presented to the glass.
When the, operation goes on well the
glass breaks away from the scissors in
small pieces. in a. straight line with the
blades. This. method of cutting glass
has often been of service whan dia-
mond has not been at hand, for cutting
ovals and segments, and though the
edges are not so smooth as might be
desired for some. purposes, yet it will
answer In great many cases. The
two hints given above, if strictly fol-
lowed, will always insure success.
