UNSUITABLE HUNGER.
The Strange Malady With Which a Con-

The Strange MaIady With Which a Con-
necticut Girl Is Affiicted.
New LONDON Comm, June 20.-A
strange case that is puzzling the most able
physicians of Hartford and New Haven
has developed in this county. The victim of
the hallueinatioD, curse, disease, or what
ever 1t may be, is young woman by the
name of Jennie Watson, the daughter of a
well-to-do merchant in the manufacturing
village of East Haddam and the recognized
leader in polite society for miles around.
The thing from which Miss Watson is
suffering is an Unsuitable hunger, She is
ravenous, and the great quantity of food
that she consumes daily is simply astound-
ing. Strange to say, from this food the
woman seemingly gets no nourishmept, and
her physical powers are gradually waning
When she was attacked with the terrible
munger, two months ago, she was a woman
IN perfect health, but since that time she
mas wasted to shadow. and Is now losing
weight at the rate Of ten and twelve ounces
a day.
The physicians whose attention has been
attracted TO the case are about equally di-
videe In the opinion that it is disease of
The stomach or of the brain. Some OF them
hrmly assert that the girl Is laboring under
haHucination aud think that she should be
treated for dementa.
Miss Watson is an exc client cook and pre-
pares the food that she eats. She Graves
veg etables more than meat. and she is es-
pecially fond of baked potatoes. Some DAYS
she eats fifty potatoes Of large size. and be :

YOUNG DEER IN THE PARK.

How Officer Thompson's Purse Is Con-
stantIy Drained.
The park In all its summer prodigality OF
bud and blossom, and the Cliff with its ex-
hilarating ocean air, attracted more than the
usual nHmber of visitors yesterday, tho
large attendance being an indication that
the annual vacations are over and people
are returning to the city.
The deer park was also a center of at
traction, for during the last week there has
been a large addition to the family of ami
mails in the Enclosure. No less than twelve
young deer have been born during this time,
the last two coming into existence on Satur-
day night. The deer offspring are doing
well, and there is every indication that they
will all survive, so that by next year the
park Will have all the deer that could be de-
sired.
The mothers of the young deer could be
seen yesterday afternoon atfectionately
tending their little offspring, and the lively
antics of the diminutive animals were a
source oil constant amusement to the chill
drep. and even grown people gathered
around.

sides these she consumes a great deal of
bread, turnips, cabbage, cake and pie. She
eats every hour during the day. and in the
night she wakes once in three hours, aud
each time she consumes from eight to ten
ham sandwiches that she has prepared and
placed at her bedside before retiring.
In their efforts to cure the unfortunate girl
the physicians have been unsuccessful A
prominent Hartford physician was sure that
If the girl was given enough food 10 satisfy
her hunger for once she would be rid of the
terrible craving that is consuming her. An
effort to do this was made. Food was placed
before the girl and kept there constantly four
DAYS and she would eat without cessation
during her wakeful hours. She would not
stop passing the food to her mouth until she
was overcome by exhaustion and fell asleep.
At the end of the fourth day she was as
ravenous as ever. and the Hartford phys
lcan was obliged to acknowledge himself
beaten.
Two weeks ago mcsmerist from New
York came to the Watson residence and
told the parents of the girl that he could
make her forget her desire for food by hyp-
nothing her. The man carried letters recon-
mending him as being one who stood high in
his profession, and he was given an OPP
portunty to test his power over the girl. He
went away from the house thoroughly de-
feated and disguised. The girl only laughed
at his mysterious passes and persistent star
ing. They had only ludicrous effect upon
her, which proved that her mind was far
from plastic.-New London Comm special

There is this additional attraction about
surf-perch fishing that the fish are sure to
be large, few weighing less than a pound,
while the majority scale from three to five
pounds. The fish bite quite hard and a
great deal more skill is required to land
them than TO entice them to take the bait.
1t stands to reason that strong tackle Is
required for the sport, and the usual thing
is long bamboo pole with the top joint re-
moved; reel fitted with fifty yards of line
nearly as thick as whip-cord, and three or
four hooks, fastened on wire, set a foot
apart, above four-ounce sinker. The bait
may be clans, shrimps or spiral worms.
The habits of the surf-perch suggest that
to be successful the angler must follow them
into their haunts. These haunts are the ed
dies which flow around submerged rocks
Just where the surf begins to break. Hence

entirely, and the tyr0 is lucky if lie escapes

There are some to whom this impromptu
bath and the scramble on the rocks would
become an Irresistible attraction. To such
persons surf-perch fishing is most cordially
recommended. All that is necessary is TO
cast the line we'll out into the surf and look
out for strong pull as the line, snker and
all is playfully rolled over the bottom. 1t
is under these conditions that the surf-perch
feeds. And when big fellow of four, tive

one of the five milk cans contained a swarm
OF rats. 1t was not until Willis learned of
the boys and the corn that he could explain
the presence of the rats in the cans. The
rats had jumped down into the cans to get
the corn. but it was impossible for any of
them to get out again. How 10 dispose of
the enormous number of rodents was at
first a puzzler to the grocerynan, but he
finally hit upon plan. He put the covers
on the cans and secured them and rolled the
cans TO the creek. Then opening the lids
just enough to let the water run into the
cans he filled each one and drowned the

HIS LAST SWIM.
Max Staddleman Drowned Near
Harb0r View.
He Was Seized With Cramps and Disappeared
Before His Horrifed Friends Could
Rescue Him.

To drown within sight of friends who
are unable to attempt rescue increases the
horror of death in the waves. That is how
Max Staddleman, well-known young up
holsterer, lost his life yesterday afternoon
In the surf near Harbor View.
In company with dozen friends he at
tended picnic given by the Madrid Benevo-
lent Association in Harbor View Park. 1t
was merry party, and the young men
danced and sang until they declared they
could stand the heat no longer. After some
argument they agreed to adjourn to the
bath-house on the beach and take swim.
Staddleman was the merriest of the party,
and continued to sing as he stepped from
his room, clad in the regulation bathing
suit

Staddleman, as he prepared to plunge into
the waves.

may, the undertow is strong, the water is
cold and you may be carried out to sea-"
SWIMMING TO HIS DEATH.
Staddleman, who had always been known
as a strong. steady swimmer, refused to
obey the warning. 1t would have saved his
lie had he done so. He started of AT once
ana soon dstanced his friends, who pre-
1erred to remain in close to the beach, On.

movements with interest, mingled with
alarm.
When out about 200 yards from shore he
was seen to cease the use of his arms and
SINK beneath the waves. In few moments
ne arose 10 the surface, but sank again and
was seen no more. At first his panic
stricken friends could hardly realize what
ttney had seen. 1t was several moments tS, be-
lore they became aware of his danger. Then
they rushed wildly along the beach and
wruDg their hands in agony.
SANK FROM SIGHT.
Help. help him, he's drowning" some
one cried. None of the party dared swim
out that far and the work of rescue did not
commence until one of the party suggested
that boat be sent out. 1t was several
minutes before boat was secured from
daring swimmer was last seen. The men
rowed around in the vicinity for some time
ana then gave up all hope OF resculng the
unfortunate man. 1t was evident that he
had been seized BY cramps. which caused
him to become perfectly helpless in every
limb and to drown before help arrived.
All efforts TO find the body were without
avail, but the search was kept uD all the
afternoon. Policeman James Kelly No.
was summoned. He wrapped up the drowned
mans clothes and took them to the Morgue.
He also brought written statement of the
tragic occurrence from c. Herman, the pro-
prletOr of the bath-house. Herman declared
that Staddleman was at least half a mile
from shore when he disappeared, but Others
say the distance was not more than 2o0yards
out. 1t is feared that the body may be car
ried out TO sea by the strong current.
