TASTED GAO DAYS.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Jan. 6.--Mrs.
Adam Wuchter, of White Hall, seven
miles from here, whose strange expe-
rience as an Involuntary faster created
such widespread interest during the
summer and fall of 1890, is still alive,
apparently having subsisted $40 days
without swallowing a morsel of solid
food, and considerable portion of
that time without tasting even LIQUID
nourishment. She is now blind, bed
ridden, paralytic and wasted to a
shadow, eagerly awaiting the long-de-
ferred day which is to end her terrible
sufferings. She began her fast on
April 4, 1890.
She was unable to swallow anything
at all, except occasionally few drops
of water, until November 2 following.
Then after abstaining from both food
and drink for POS days, by actual record
kept, the faster unexpectedly called
for food, and succeeded in swallowing
few drops of orange juice and subse-
quently some beef tea. After that
she slowly mended but still was unable
to eat solid food. In June, 1891, how
ever, her condition again grew worse.

JAKE KILRAIS's OPINION.


BALTIMORE, January 6.--Jake Kill
rain was seen this evening at his hotel
at Eutaw and Pratt streets. He said
Of the Portland, Ore, dispatch about
Sullivan and Slavin -
Il am pleased to see that Sullivan
has settled down to business, and that
he is ready to make match with
Slavin. For | thought that Slavin
would get away from this country
without match. That would be a
disgrace to American fighters. To al
low any man who comes to this coun-
try looking for championship honors
to get away without accommodation
would not be characteristic of Ameri-
cas- champions. John L. Sullivan has
proved himself champion SO many
times that he has only to meet Slavin
and be champion still.n
