had evidently been dead some time and the body
was frozen stiff. 1t was at first supposed she

A Young Woman Who Gets More Sleep
Than Nature Requires.
LANSING. Mich, Oct. 2b.-One of the most
remarkable cases that has ever engaged the
attention of physicians in this vicinity is
that Of Miss May White, twenty three years
OF age, who for the last thirty five days has
been in continuous state Of slumber She
is now lying at the house of Dr. Brown of
Stockbridge, several miles south of here,
who has had charge Of her since its incep-
ton, and had the patient removed to his
own house SO that he might give her closer
attention.
Miss White, until stricken, was bright
young woman, and had taught school in
neig hborhood of her home. While attend
ing business school in Jackson in July of
last year she was attacked by neuphritis An
abscess formed in her side, and alter intense
suffering she was relieved OF it. Some
time after she was attacked by
epilepsy and suffered terribly from convul-
slons, having as many as fl ty in an hour.
These continued until June last, when the
young woman suddenly dropped into
s!umber so deep that Tor days no one was
able to rouse her. Her weight has steadily
decreased until at present she weighs but
h;ty pounds, having lost over seventy
pounds since the beginning OF her slumber
DR.. Brown is the only person who is able
10 rouse the sleeping girl, and the opera
lon requires rom twenty minutes to one
hour. She is fed three times a day with
light nourishnent. She remains awake for
half an hour, during which she converses
lntelllgently and takes an interest in read
ing newspapers. At the end OF the hall
hour she relapses into an unconscious state
In which she remains until her physician
again awakens her. Dr. Brown thinks that
the girl is gradually gaining more vitality,
and he believes she soon will come out OF
the leth argic state.

ALL EXPLAINED NOW.
why Eugene Van schaIck Has Eschewe,

Why Eugene Van Setback Has Eschewed
society of Late.
New York, Oct. 26.-The papers yester-
day printed wedding notice which an
nounced that in 1886 Eugene Van Schaick
had become the husband of Miss Sarah
Rowland Pyne.
Eugene Van Schaick comes OF an old and
rich Knickerbocker family. Mrs. Van
Schaick does not. That and the lady's
youth made it seem best five years ago to
keep the secret of such an eventful thing as
marriage. It was romance that court
ing 81 the Jersey girl by this Knickerbocker
SCION Miss Pyne was the daughter Of
James Walter Pyne of Newark, near which
place he owned quite an estate Miss Pyne
has pretty face and a 1.-THE form and
spent a good deal of the time in New York
with relatives while she attended school.
When they met Van Setback was twenty
six years old.
There was trouble in his family The
match was not exactly liked over in Jersey
The young lady's iather wished her to I'm
ish Der education. The young man s father
wanted him 10 finish his. So the young
people ostensibly deferred to the objections.
Mr.. and Mrs +. G. Buddon, friends of the
bride. were let into the secret. The little
company went over TO williamsburg and
called up Rev. Strodach to perform the
ceremony. The good man made no search
ing inquiries regarding identity. He tied
the knot and presumably got his fee and
then, just as in hundreds of similar cases,
after registering the ceremony, forgot all
about it. ,...%
Mr.. Van Schaick and his bride parted
company that evening, she gong to her
Jersey home and the latter returning to
school. Time rolled on and Mr. Pvne
died. Mr.. Van Schaick took his father,
Henry Van Schaick, into mis- confidence
Troubles were smoothed over all around,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Van Schaick began mar
ried lie by taking apartm ents at the Ger
ZACH some time ago. Little bits of gossip
began to float around. Mr. Van Schaick's
intimates were let into the open secret.
But it was apparent that a regular public
announcement would straighten matters
out. 1t was made yesterday. The God
bless YOU. my children" of fiction became
reality. Feminine opposition in the Van
Schaick household was relaxed and now
all the family unite in saving that it just
pleases them beyond expression.
Though rich and handsome Mr.. Van
Setback has had an aversion to society for
the last lew years. 1t can now be explained
to mothers Of narriageble daughters He
has been leading official OF the Manhat-
tan Athletic club in various capacities He
was the first president OF the XIII OK erbock
Fencing club. Last year he went 10 Europe
as captain and manager OF the Cherry
Diamond Athletic team. He is mem Der
of the Union club.

stairs and casta furtive glance at the trap
as he passed by it into side room.

prayed with him for about two minutes.
Then the sheriff slipped in and handcuffed
his hands behind his back. The priest led
the way to the trap. Goheen followed with
Sheriff Billings in the rear. He marched
out as erect as soldier. There was not
finch or a tremor as he passed into the
hall, he looked up at the rope and took
his position OH the trap. He was then
strapped as usual. Is
