MRS. BURNETT'S WOE.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Mrs. Frances
HodgSon Burnett's separation from her
husband, DR.. Swan NJ. Burnett, has
been regarded by the friends of both
for several years as inevitab BILE, says the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Press. Last winter. when Mrs.
Burnett returned from Europe for a
months stay in Washington it was
known to be the last time that the hus-
band and wife would meet under the
Little Lord Fauntleroy roof-for the
handsome home, No 177G Massachusetts,

entirely from the proceeds of that fas-
cinating story which made Frances
Hodgson Burnett famous.
This unfortunate matrimonial break
is without breath or shadow of scan
dal, and comes for no reason on earth
save the love of a woman of genius
for the adulation Of the world. This
alone has broken the tie of affection
congeniality, and has completely de-
stroyed the home life, which. until the
mother had her head turned by fame,
was ideal and happy.
HER HUMBLE BIRTH.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett owes
everything in the world to her husband
her education. her culture. her tender
care, the training OF her literary
talent and her fame and prosperity.
The daughter of factory hand,
raised to prominence in literature and
enjoying the friendship and admira-
ton of such women of rank as the

father was a foreman of factory

REDDIMG IN GOTHAM.

Leo L. Redding. formerly OF Wichita.
is now the Chicago Inter Oceans rep
resenetative in New York City. In a
dispatch this week he reveals some Of
the mysteries Of Gotham Journalism
He says: Ever since the art OF print

BURIED FORTY DAYS.

Lahare, Sept. 2S.-Perhaps the most
extraordinary case of suspended ami
nation or simulated death on record
is that related by Sir Claude NJ. Wade,
! who was the political resident at Lud-
ranah and agent of the British govern
! ment at the court of Runtjit-Singh,
which occurred at Lahore in 1887. A IA
kir was buried alive for forty days,
then disentombed, and resuscitated. Sir
! Claude tells US that he was present at
the court when this fakir was buried
alive for six weeks; and, though he ar
rived a few hours after he was inferred
yet Sir Claude had the testimony Of
Run tjit-Singh himself, and others. the
most credible witnesses at his court.
to the truth OF the fakir having been
so buried before them; and from hav-
ing been present himself when the fakir
was disinterred and restored to a state
OF perfect vitality, in position so close
to him as to render belief that there
was no collision in producing the extra
ordinary fact that he related.
When the forty days for which the
fakir was to be buried were ended. by
invitation Of tjit-singh, Sir Claude
accompanied the Rajah and his suite
to the spot where the fakir was in
TERED. 1t was a square building. styled
a barri durri, in the midst of one of
the gardens adjoining the palace at
Lahore. An open varanda encircled
the structure, Of which an enclosed the
the structure. OF which an inclosed
rom occupied the center. On arriving
at the barri durri, ntjit-Singh, who
was attended by retinue of court Of
ficials. dismounted from his elephant
and requested Sir Claude to join him
in the examination Of the building, to
satisfy himself that ii was exactly as he
left il forty days before. Sir Claude
acceded to this, OF the four doors,
looking to the four points of the COM
pass, three had been Theoretically seal
ed with brick and mortar, while the
fourth was furnished with strong
door, plastered with mud up to the pad
lock, which was sealed with the Ra-
jah's private seal. in his own presence
at the date when the fakir was entomb-
ed. Thus the exterior Of the building
presented no aperture whatever by
which one could possibly be admitted
any communication held. or any food
conveyed to the torpid experimental
ist. The walls and dOorways bore no
marks of having been distured.
Runtjit-Singh identified the impress
ion of his seal as the one he had affixed
and, as he was personally somewhat
skeptical as to the result Of the fax
IRIS experiment. he had. during the for
ty days. kept two companies OF his
personal escort stationed near the bull
ding, from which four senunels were
furnished and relieved every two hours
night and day, to protect the fakir
from intrusion. One of his principal
officers was detailed to visit the spot
regularly and report the result Of his
inspection. While he, himself. kept the
seal that closed the hole of the paddock

ports of the officers Of the guard. morn

and pieces of silk aad muslin forming

The period that elapsed between the
opening OF the box and the recovery
OF the voice was about half an hour:
and in half an hour more the fakir was
able TO talk freely. though feebly, with
those about him. Sir Claude Wade re-
marks IN concluding his narrative that
he now took some pains to investigate
the manner in which this result was
enected. and was informed that the
rationale of the process rested on the
view q the Hindoo Psychologists. that
heat constitutes the self-existent prin-
ciple Of life. and that IL the functions
even be not so far interrupted as to
