have been disappointed in love. Nearly
all of her relatives live in ireland. Since
the original article was written, the
woman's condition has remained prac-
tically unchanged. Shortly after her
reception into the hospital she began to
refuse food, and in February, 1891, she
utterly refused to swallow anything.
About that time she sank into pro-
found sleep, and she is still asleep. Her
eyes are continually closed and the ap-
pearance is that of quiet, peaceful
slumber. Only twice since February,
1891, has she opened her eyes, and then
but for an instant, smiling sweetly
each time.
The pupils of her eyes remain con-
tracted. The light does not affect them.
Her mouth is constantly closed and gen
orally free from saliva, while her teeth
are pressed tightly against her upper
jaw. She is pale, but she has not lost
flesh to an appreciate extent, and her
skin is healthy, warm and moist. She
is fed regularly, from sixty to ninety
ounces of milk being given daily. This
is fed through tube in her throat, for
in no other way can she be forced to
take nourishment. If she is placed in a
chair she Will sit up for time, but Will
gradually fall into a reclining attitude.
Placed in a standing position, she will
topple over, unless told very decidedly
to stand, when she will stand for
awhile with her eyes shut and finally
fall over in any direction that the body
may be at the time leaning.
The case is exciting the greatest at
tention of the medical fraternity.
Superintendent Wought reports that
little is really known as to the cause
and effect, nor what might cure, but
one similar case has been recently re-
ported, that of patient in the Kingston
(Canada) hospital, who lived. thirteen
years under similar circumstances
That patient died in 1891. There is &
possibility that it is 'African lcthargy'
or sleeping sickness with which Miss
Pendergast is afflicted.

knocking for admission. The noise Of
the blows and the swaying of the nest
caused the hornets to leave their home
and prepare for an attack upon the in
truder. The snake ceased tapping
with Its tail as soon as the hornets left
the nest, uncoiling itself, and quickly
disappeared, taking the place of the
hornets within their nest.
Presently the snakes head was seen
to peer out, and its bright, black eyes
glis.ened as he anticipated feast from
which the bravest man would shrink
with fear. The snake drew his head
within the entrance hole to the nest
until nothing was seen of it except an
occasional forked tongue that darted in
and out with lightning rapidity.
Thinking the coast clear the hornets
began to return to their nest, when the
snake took them In as fast as they
could enter. Watching the proceedings
for some time our informant concluded
that all the hornets had been safely
hived, and he stood up in his buggy,
tapped the nest with his whip, and
awaited the result.
No hornets appearing, the nest was
then knocked to the ground, opened,
and his snalzeship discovered in torpid
condition, with his size greatly in
creased. The snake was killed and a
post-mortem held, with the following
result; Stomach stuffed with dead

AS he went up the steps of the Glenn

able anxiety as to what awkward COM
plications might have arisen there dur
ing his brief absence, he was hailed by
Col. Dayton with n jovial:

that we were to expect you on the 1920

manage it, anyway, man alivc?" he
added, with Il blank look. This three
o'clock train comes from due south, and

North laughed as he hurried on to his
room.

colonel, if had time" he said, but
just now cannot stop. BE patient, and

A ChanseabIe Water Mark.

Two Americans who were dining at
tables in front of cafe in Paris, near
the Seine, noticed high up on the front
wall of a building a red mark, and
underneath it this inscription: "In-
undation of 1875. High-water mark. ii
Come! Gomez said one of the Ameri-
cans to the restaurant keeper; ''you
don't expect US to believe that the
river ever rose as high as that?" ooh,
no." said the proprietor, blandly; ''it
only came up to here" He made 9
sort of scratch with his thumb nail
down near the ground. But, you see
when the mark was down there the
children rubbed it out so continually
that we had to put it up there out Of
their reach.'

A REAL SNAKE STORY.
The Serpent Got Into the Hornets Nes
to Catch the Insects.

The Serpent Got Into tho Hornets Nest
to Catch the Insects.
w. S. White, of fredericksburg, Va,
is credited with promulgating the fol-
lowing story:
He claims that while travelling to
Tappahannocl1 he saw a large black
snake slowly crawling among the
branches of tree that stood by the
roadside. Following the snake with
his eye the observer saw an unusually
large hornets nest attached to one of
the branches of tho tree, and toward
which the snake was advancing.
When close to the nest the snake
coiled itself about q limb, releasing it's
tail, and with it gave several hard
raps upon the exterior of the nest as if

JURY DID NOT AGREE.
The Colorado BOY Murderer Escapes for
. the Iime-Hs Expressed No Regret.
DENVER, March 3.-The trial of the
boy murderer, Anton Woods, who is
scarcely II years old, came to an end
yesterday by the jury failing to agree on
verdict
Eleven Of them favored a verdict of
murder in the second degree, while the
twelfth juror was in favor of acquittal
probably on account of an impression
that the boy is not mentally sound.
Woods lived with his parents on a
ranch 20 miles orthApf Denver and on
Nov. % last, Joseph Smith, of this city,
was in that vicinity hunting rabbits.
Woods volunteered to show him where
there We're plenty Of them.
Smith was possessed of gold watch
and new gun, and when Woods saw
them, as he afterwards confessed, he de-
ternined to kill Smith and rob him of
them.
Woods WAS armed with an old musket
and led Smith into a ravine, where he
shot him in the back, killing him almost
instantly.
The young murderer then took the
watch and gun and went home, where he
stayed until arrested.
He expressed no regret for the crime
and says he would kill anybody in order
to obtain what he did.

WICHITA. KANSAS SUNDAY MORNING JUNE II. 1888

Mr.. Vanderbilt believed that he had
reached the limit in the size of a
private steam yacht, and that none OF
the money kings who were aspiring to
be co1nmodores OF the steam yachting
seas would think of building larger
boat.
Not so. though.
His old rival in palace building, Mr.
John D. Rockefeller. after waiting 10
get the beams of Mr.. FaCderbilts yacht
ordered one FOR himself. He has just
given the contract for building steam

speed OF 81 knots al hour. to the
Cramps of Philadelphia Everything

make, and | am informed on good
authority she wiz cost when completed
in ten months about aS0o,000. In point
of palatia1 fittings she will excel any
craft Of royalty or American money
prince ahoat. This boat will, it is ex-
pected. be more than match for the
English yacht Valiant.
Row the cable tells US that Mr..
William Waldorf Aston, vino took up
his residence in England after the
New York newspapers published his
obituary recently, is also about to
build mammoth steam yacht some
20 feet or more greater in length
than the Valiant. But it is the plans
Of Mr.. John Jacob Astor that interest
American yachtsmen the most, for that
gentleman remains on this side of the
big pond.
AS books and literature were Mr..
William Waldorf Astors hobby, cleo
tricity is Dir. John Jacob Astor's. Mr..
Astor has been an enthusiastic devo-
tee of the goddess OF electricity for
number of years, but it is only recently
that he expressed a desire to own
yacht propelled by electricity. He is
now having designed yacht about ITO
feet in length to be propelled by cleo"
tricity. SO great is his confidence in the
advancement of the mysterious power
that Wizard Edison has done so much
to chain.
