The physicians at the City Hospital,
Jersy City, have case in their care
which they regard exceptional and a
most interesting subject for study--that
of woman who has been in n comatose
condition for nearly five weeks. Her
name is Silk, and she Is forty three years
old. She lived with her husband, who
was fifty years old at 1870 Bay stIeet.
Both were hard drinkers, and in a
drunken row ho assaulted her and beat
her into insensibilitty, and she lay for
some time ut her home without apparent
hope for recovery This was on the
night OF October 80. She was taken TO
the hospital and has remained uncon.
srious ever since her arrival, without
any lucid intervals. DIR. Mcfarland says
that at times she murmurs like one dis.
turbed by troublesome dreams, and will
sometimes open her eyes, but does not
seem TO recognize any one not even
knowing her daughter, who visited her
on Thanksgiving AT times she seems
at the point Of death and again she is
delirious. The doctors said shc will 20
two or three days without nourishment,
and about all they are able TO feed her IL
little milk DIR. Mcfarland says the
case seems to be one Of alcoholism. The
| doctor thinks that her chance OF recovery
is small and even II her bodily health Is
restored, her mind will be wrecked.
The woman's husband is still In the city

THE LUMBER INTERESTS Of the North
have for years shut out the interests in
that line in the South to great extent,
but Mississippi is pressing her claims to
notice She not only presents for con-
sideration land which is now heavily set
in the best hardwood timber, but which,
after it is cleaned, is the best in the
world for raising cotton. Investments in
such lands as these are of permanent
value and must attract the capitalist OF
the North seeking the best return for his
money. Interests like these are para
mount to politics. and the supremacy of
the South is dependent upon their devel-
opment.

recommended by Major Raymond, that
repairs of pavements cut by plumbers,
gas company and others be made so that
they will maintain level With the re-

have the finest streets in the world, but
they cannot remain so If future repairs
are made as some have been made in the

MINNIE PALMER's Diamonds is the title line of an article in the New Haven "News," descriptive of the wealth in pre- cious stones possessed by this gifted ac- tress. This sort of advertising has been run to earth-from Kate Claxton's burned up treasures at some Hotel confagration to the highway spoliations of Sarah Bern hardt's properties. It does'nt pay in these days; it is, in fact, played out. The peo- pie of New Haven who are to be favored with a professional visit by Minnie Palmer this week will not care rush about the quantity or quality of her jewels, one item in the rich array of which is, as appears by the News "a little golden pig with ruby eyes, hanging like a bangle on plain ring and is souvenir of visit she paid to the celebrated pork packers of Chicago" The force of humbug can no further go Min. nie might adopt as her motto: s3Meus DOT GUS ct ego" The people do not want te know about the actress jewels-it is enough for them if she is a jewel of an actress

 William D. Howells, Whitelaw Reid and John Q. A. Ward, the sculptor, are fast friends as well as natives of the prolific state of Ohio.
 The widow of M. Katkoff, the Russian edi- tor, is preparing for publication enough of her husbands newspaper writings to fill eight volumes, comprising 5000 pages.
 Gen. John c. Fremont has arrived at Los Angeles with his wife and daughter and will remain there during tho winter He hopes to complete the second volume of his memoirs before spring
 The largest book bound is owned by Queen Victoria and measures eighteen inches across the back and weighs thirty pounds. It con- tains the jubilee addresses of congratulation from members of tho Primrose league.
 Before Frank R. Stockton had become fa- nous as story writer he worked as an en- graver in Q Broadway, New York, house. His style of work in this department of art was fino and clear, daintier, indeed, than strong.
 The famous historian, Mommesen, cele- hrated his roth birthday some weeks ago. He is a familiar figure on the streets of Berlin. Ho walks along rapidly with his eyes on the ground, and pays no attention to those who salute him.
