a remarkable case of protracted sleep is

house from his duty on October 20, 1887
returned to his bedroom and went to sleep
Since that time he has had but two or
three brief intervals of consciousness. 1t
WAS at first thought that Farnan's condition
was due to water on the brain, and physi-
clans treated him for that disease. Their
efforts, however, had no effect. After they
had abandoned the case, in the April fol-

night and remained unconscious for six
weeks.
For more than three years Farnan has
been sleeping soundly. During this time

FEDERATED TRADES.
Secretary Grambarth Condemns
the Chronicle,

There Is no color line in the Council of
Federated Trades. AT last nights meeting
of this body John E. Coursey, c0al-black
representative of the Coast Seamen's Union,
was seated as a delegate, and lie is the only
specimen of his race that has ever been
elected member of the council.
The miners of Mullen, Idaho. sent in
formation that they had won their strike
and that hereafter So 80 for a ten-hour day
will be paid and none but union men will
be employed.
The BARRIERS delegates stated that Borel,

had been keeping open after union hours.

to take some action against the United
Workingmen's Factory. They declared that
in the face of promise made by the Presi-
dent of the factory that the shop would be
unOniZed none but nOn-unOn men are now
employed i'll the st0ck-rOOm. The matter
was referred to the Executive Committee.
Acting Secretary Grambarth denounced
the Chronicle for slurring the workingmen
of the city in its report of the mass-meeting
held at Metropolitan Temple to condemn
Judge Murphy's decision in the Chute case
to retract the Objectionable statement, but
owing to the efforts of Mullin of the Shoe
makers League and O'Connell OF the Wood
carvers' Union the council voted down the
resolution. Mullin argued that the council
had nothing to do with the meet ng. OCon-
nell said it would not make much difference
whether the council passed the resolution
or not. The Chronicle would not retract its
statement because it was not made editor
tally.
Resolutions were passed expressive of the
councils regret over the departure of c. j.
Boyle, for many months its efficient Secre-
tary, were passed by a standing vote, and
the council adjourned.
