Last evening the girls employed In

The young women had 70 climb over 4 In

Deceased Young Lady.
ALBANY, n. X, December -
The sensational resurrection storys
which wa located In the little village Of
Egrcmont, IN the Berkshire hills, Il pro-
nounced 4 hoax. Il was claimed that the
body Of Miss Estelle Newman, = young
woman who was supposed 70 have died
from spinal complaint, was dIsinterr red
by medical students. Il was said that
life returned 70 the body while It vas be-
ino dlssccted, and that the young lady Il
now alive IN an Insane Asylum In Scho-
harie County.
a prominent physician declares that
even Il Miss Newman had not been dead
when buried, the confinement In the
rave would have ended her life before
resurrection. Besides, there u no insane
ASYLUM IN the county named. The story
receives another blow IN the statement q
w. y. Wright, Of Hudson, n. r., who
denies that his brother, the late DR..
Wright ever confessed 70 him about
taking the body Of Miss Newton 70
| Albany.
Mrs. Chapel, q sister of Miss Newman,
and Mrs. Newman, their mother, dis
credits the story. Her mania took the
| form Of conviction that she must not cat,

| compliant. Her flesh was 90 wasted that
Il was thought impossible she could . y

Two men were standing at the gate Of
a country farm-yard whiting sticks and
giving each other dots about managing
women. "Talk sassy to EN-" the man
on the outside Of the fence said, Gan
ven see how they'll be fotch down"
Just then the cabin door opened, and
a red d-headed, long-necked woman yelled
"Say, 'Zeke, ther four's out"
"Out wharf he yelled back.
"Outen ther bar'l, she answered.
"Wall, put il back an cover it up
tighter" he replied, while the outside
man grinned.
Don't you see how she's hacked
a'readyT' he laughed, when the fiery
top-knot disappeared.
II does" spoke the elated victor.
Presently the same shrill voice cried:
"Zeke, Use gwine over to mars, an
if We think ther measles arc ketehin', I'll
leave ther baby hyar."
"Dunno whether they's ketchin' or
not replied the husband. "I've never
seed 'em ketch enything."
Again the head was drawn back, amid
applause from the outside. The next
time the door opened the muzzle Of n
shotgun was poked out, and a bead
drawn on the sauey man.
"Zeke," came in solemn voice.
"Melindy," he gasped, looking in vain
for some place to dodge.
"Zeke," she continued, "ther aour's
out"
"All rite, I'm off ter the mill at once"
he answered shiveringly.
'"Zeke, I'm gwine over ter mars a
spell, dye think the measles is ketchin' p
'No, Melindy, ! seed pap ter day, an
he sed the chillunz wuz all well.
"Kerrect," she said, lowering the gun,
''Pm of. Ye can sorter clean up the
place till ] git back, but be shore ter
stay inside while Pm gone"
"All right" he answered meekly,
moving aside to let her pass.
