Turner'S Rival

FASTING WONDER IN A DELAwARE VII
LAGE-THIRTY-sIX DAYS WITHOUT FOOD
FOLLOWED BY DEATH.
WILMINGTON, July 27.--Delaware City,
one OF the quietest and most Unpretending
OF villages, with nothing OF business like
air about il except the Delaware and CheSa-
peakc canal, has been shelterng fasting
wonder wnose performances throw Tan
ner in the shade, though death has been the
result. Miss Elizabeth Belvllc, about fifty
six years OF age, is the unfortunate heroine
Of this unadvertised affair.
On January 22d she conceived an aver
sion to solid food, and would eat nothing
but a few oysters daily. This continued
until June 5tb, when she refused to take
even these. From that time until June
10Th she was sustained by drinking currant
water, but in very small quantities. Beef
tea was frozen into waicr-iceS, but she
was unable to retain it on her stomach.
Since June 18TH she had tasted absolutely
no food, and taken no nourishment OF any
kind.
A PEACEFUL DEATH.
This state of affairs continued until Sun
day night. when she died peacefully. DR..
Frank Beyille, her nephew and physician,
absolutely declined to give any information
about the affair. 1t is nCt Known whether
disease caused this strange aversion TO food,
but certain it Is that the only medicines ad-
minislered during the past tbirty-siX days
have been injections Of morphine in small
quantities. No medicine had been ordered
for the patient that could be considered as
being intended to counteract disease. The
injections Of mOrpha cannot be counted
as being in any degree n0urishing, and be-
yond his she has taken no foreign matter
into her system since The 18Th OF June.
AFTER DEATH.
Her appearance at death was very natural.
The frame had fallen away but slightly and
the face showed no signs OF the terrible or
deal through which she has passed. Her
weight in perfect health was about 100
pounds and at her death was $50 pounds,
showing a loss OF only ten pounds for
thrty.six days OF absolute fasting, and
nearly five months Of living upon a diet
which would scarcely maintain life in an
ordinary individual. This may be ac-
counted for by the fact that she was a wo-
man of large hone and not above an ordi-
nary amount Of flesh. She will be buried
tomorrow ut ST. Georges, Del.

The Connecticut Bible Society.


 The Connecticut Bible Society.
 At the monthly meeting of the finance committee of the Connecticut Bible Society in Hartford Monday, the secretary was re- quested to publish the following for the ben eft of life directors and life members of the American Bible Society:
 Since the American Bible Society has adopt ed the plan of requiring it's auxlliar1es to pay no annuities to it's life directors and life mem bers, except on a written order from its gen. eral agent at the Bible house in New York, much inconvenience has been experienced on the part of those entitled to annuities, and the Connecticut Bible Society has suffered considerable loss by furnishing sup nosed life directors or life members 1n ex- change for their written orders on the Amer1- can Bible Society. Many of those orders have been allowed and many of them have not because the proof of their being life directors or life members was said to be lack ing at the Bible house.
 Tn order to obviate all such difficulty, we have prepared a printed blank for orders which we propose to send to all life directors and life members of the American Bible So- ciety whom we can ascertain in the State, with the request that they will sign them and return them to the secretary of the society. He will present them at the Bible house, and if allowed the books can be drawn at our de- pository any time during the year which ends April 1st.
 If any persons so entitled to draw their an nuities from our depository do not care to take them the order will be of material aid to us in carrying forward our benevolent work in the State. Those annuities were devised to aid persons entitled to them in supplying the destitute with the Bible. If they so pre- fer we should be happy to become their al moners.
 Life directors of the American Bible Socie- ty, having paid $50, are entitled to an annu- ifv of $2s 50 in Bibles Life members con- stituted by the payment of $50 are entitled to one dollar annuity in Bibles.
