HAS SLEFT FOUR YEARS.
The Peculiar Casa of Michael Fernan, a
LaDorer of Factoryville, Pa.
From tke st. Lonis RennhLc.

From the st. L0His Republic.
SCRANTON, Pa. Oct 2j.-The case OF
Michael Fernan, who has been asleep for
the past four years at his home near Fac
toryville, is very remarkable one. Fer
nan, who is about so years old. was born
near the lakes of Killarney, Ireland, ard
came T. this country In his boyhood. His
early days were spent at Eliza beth, y. J.
where be married and worked for several
years IN the employ of the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western railroad. -Four years
ago he moved to Factoryville. where he
purchased farm aud prospered. He led a
sober. industrious life. and when the Della
ware. Lackawanna and Western began to
lay its double track he secured employment
as Waterman at the tunnel then being built
near his home. Fernan watched faithfully
at the tunnel during the night ana in the
day worked diligently on his farm. He took
but little sleep, and frequently went several
DAYS ana nights without any.
He felt that being a strong. healthy mGn.
he did not need sleep, and 80 he continued
TO work day and night. until one evening in
the fall of 1887 he was seized with a violent
headache. The pain became SO great that
ne was compelled to quit work and take to
his bed. Then he fell into semi-stupor,
and for time appeared to be delirious. He
raved considerably for several days, and
failed TO recognize his nearest friends. From
this condition Fernan passed into profound
sleep.
After time his family tried to arouse
him, but could not. Tho doctors were
summoned, but they " ere powerless to wake
the sleeper. who has continued 20 sleep ever
since. HIS family think he Is conscious at
times. Some months ago when one of tn Q
children was being reprimanded, Fernan
manifested much uueasiness and nluttered
incoherently, and more recently, when one
OF his sons died, the sleeper sobbed aud
moaned piteously, but showed no other
signs of consciousness. About two years
ago his family thought he was going to die,
and they knelt at his bedside in prayer. To
their amazement he suddenly revived and
sat up in bed, then sank back again and re-
Sumed his deep sleep.
Although four years confined to his bed
Fernan looks as rugged as he did the first
day Of his strange experience He takes
food regularly twice day. His appetite
appears to be good and his sleep seems pain
less. His wife and children entertain the
hope that some day he will shake Off his
fearful lethargy.

WHY SHE LEFT MOLOKAI.

sister Rose Gertrude's Reasons for Leaving
Her Work Among the Lepers.
The ground was divided into three parts;
one for .'suspects''--that is, persons wnom
the doctors are not sure having the disease
one for the lepers under DR.. LutZ's treat
ment, and the third for the persons brought
in for examination, n the unfortunates
waiting to be shipped to Molokai. The
board of health vested the entire control of
the hospital, apart from their medical and
surgical work, in their agent, who also acts
as a sort of a policeman to catch the lepers,
and bring them up for examination,
says the Ladies' Home journal. He
in his turn gave over the au-
thority to the LUNA sort of general over
seer-one of the leper patients, a man of nc
education, who confessed himself hat before
he got the disease he was fond of drink
ing and often got tine devil" This over
seer retained all the keys of communication
until the day I left, even of the suspect
side which he ought not to have entered, az
he was aconirmed leper.
Space would fail were / to tell of all that
took place during those SIX eventful months.
In that time some of the patients formerly
ton of all was ameliorated, and hope
sprang high in the hearts Ut these hitherto
despairing people. Then came a time
when. in several instances, b DOCTORS
wishes and mine were put aside: some OF
our patients were madet to work by the Luna
in an utterly unfit condition; one. indeed,
who had had n strong fever, was
so thrown back that he nearly lost hit
life. Lastly, we heard from the patients
that the Luna and the agent had been
speaking against the doctor and myself,
trying to prejudice people and do Us harm.
We complained to the board of health. al
the matter became more serious; they
seemed unwilling to take any steps in tn,
tive of the people in the legislative assem-
bly,, took up the matter and brought it Be,
fore tho house. A committee from
the house visited the hospita
three days, and took down voluminous EVIL
deEce which was printed in a report. They
found that the Luna was unworthy of hi
Office, and should be Immediately removed
as also the agent of the board of health
This was not done. The president of tn
board of health was removed from hi
office.
For some ~unaccountable reason of thei
own, they upheld the Luna ant
the agent, and there WAS nothing
left but for the doctor and mysel
to resign. it being impossible to worI
any longer under the then existing circum
: stances. And SO, with an aching heart, W
left the people with all the more sorro,
that their lives had been SO bright with hop
before, as one of them said in his speec
before the committee of the Legislative as
sembly, There never has been such a doS
tor before in these islands; there never ha
been a woman who has cared so for th

old officers, and a now journal. This
point goes to the arbitration committee,

adjustment, and there is every reason
to believe that an understanding will be
speedily reached. Tomorrow should
