SLEPT SIX WEEKS
Amos j. Manning Suffers With a
Mysterious Malady.


Philadelphia Press
Amos. J. Manning, of Mount Carmel,
awoke this morning from a sleep that
lasted almost continuously during the
past six weeks. He is very much
awake at the present time, but is apt
to 60 into dreamland again at any mo-
ment. as he has been affected with a
lethargic malady during the past elev-
en- years to such an extent that he
frequently spends four-fifths of his
time in slumber.
AS his mother is a widow without
any means of support other than her
ability to work she has decided that
she cannot provide for the sufferer
any longer and they are trying to de-
eide where he had better be placed.
Manning is now thirty-one years of
age and usually finds employment
around the mines when he is not in
his sleeping spells. The trouble was
first noticed about eleven years ago,
when he began sleeping hours over the
time usually allowed for the recupera-
ton of the mind and body. His slum-
bers gradually grew upon him with
years and his family and friends no
longer express surprise when he re-
mains in a catamose condition for
weeks at a time.
Owing to the family's limited means
they have been unable to give him
much medical attention, but the ply
sicians who have examined him pro-
nounced his case as mysterious as it
is unusual When Manning is sleep
ing he is in a regular stupor and cam
NOT be awakened until his desire for
rest has left him entirely. They feed
him every day, whether he is awake
or not, by propping him up in bed and
putting his food in his mouth. He has
frequently lived in this manner for a
month at a time, and when he awakes
he says that the time passed in slum-

On and on the blues advanced, un-

NOT A MOCK MARRIAGE.

A Young Woman Who Was Mar
San Francisco Examiner.
There is charming little woman in
town who doesn't know whether she is
Miss IneZ Mercer or Mrs. r. B. Wes-
colt, and the uncertainty has grown so
intolerable that she had asked the su-
perior court to put an end to it by
adjudging that, if she is Mrs. r. B.
Wescott, she never meant to be, and
that she shall be no longer. In May
she took a hand in amateur theatricals
in Portland, and so did a gay young
swain named Wescott. AS the play
wright had it there were two lovers in
the drama; and as the advance agent
mapped out the cast he and Miss Mer-
GER were these two lovers. According
to the play the lovers had the usual
stormy time of it, but in the last act
everything turned out beautifully, and
the villain was completely foiled.
The hero and heroine tripp,d along to
the strains of wedding march in the
last act, the parSon appeared and the
friends offered the customary congratu-
lations Then the curtain went down.
Everybody laughed and pronounced the
show excellent. Wescott left Portland
few days later, and the lady in the
case dismissed the play from her mind
and went along with her painting and
music. But one afternoon she heard
that she had been led into a trap by the
lover of the play, and that the mar
riage ceremony had not been sham.
1t transpires that prior to donning his
wig and stage clothes Wescott pro-
cured a marriage license and arranged
to have an ordained clergyman officiate
at the altar. The parson actually at
tended and went through the marriage
ceremony in due form, she and Wescott
making the usual responses.
The young woman ascertained Wes-
colts whereabouts and wrote to him
in reference to the matter A few days
later, she declares, she received let
ter from him in which he addressed her
as his dear wife" Shortly after re-
ceiving this letter Miss Mercer-or Mrs.

Says He Was the Rfghtful King of
Rome and Cooked for a Liv-
Ing.
New York Herald.
An old man, who said he was the law
full king of Rome" and son of Marie
Louise and Napoleon l., died recently
at Arezzo, in Italy, at the advanced
age of eighty-five. He was said to
have had strong family likeness to
the emperor, especially when he
shaved his moustache. His visiting
cards were inscribed with the follow
ing words: 'Napoleone, re di Roma
sacrificato."
Capelli, a monk to whom Marie
Louise is said to have intrusted him
when a child, and who superintended
his education, never failed to impress
his pupil with a sense of the brilliant
future that awaited this alleged SON of
Bonaparte. AS, however, these pros
poets failed in their realization, he
was compelled to adopt the calling of
a cook, a profession which he followed
all his life. He showed himself so full
of tact, reserve and honesty in the ex-
ercise of his duties that his master
in dying left him a small life annuity,
the only fortune that he ever pos
SosSed.
The Gaulois, however, says that it
lis scarcely necessary to demonstrate
the absurdity of this legend. There
was never any question of a scar on
the forehead, such as the Italian is
claimed to have carried, in the birth
certificate drawn up at the birth of
the king Of Rome, and signed by Du-
bois. 1t is certain that Dubois would
have recorded this scar, had it existed.
On the other hand, M. Arthur Levy,
the we'll informed author of Napoleon
Intime," declares that the young king
did not resemble his father. So true
is this that he did not scruple to wear
mustache. Moreover, he was blonde,
like his mother.
None of the multitudinous pamphlets
directed against the first napoleon ever
mentioned this alleged substitution,
nor did Louis XIII. make capital of
so handy a weapon, all of which proves
that the present discovery is nothing
more than mares nest.

Where do false teeth come from?"
said a well-known bone importer, echo
ing a question that 1 had put to him.
wouldn't you like to know. Most peo-
pie, I imagine, think that all false
teeth are made from ivory. That is quite
a mistaken idea, ,as the majority of false
teeth are now made from anything
but ivory. We import large quantities
of walrus' tusks for no other purpose
than that they may be made into false
teeth. You go into some big dental
establishment where teeth are made
and you will doubtless find the remains
Of walrus' tusks lying around, and, in
deed,a highly polished tooth made from
a walrus tusk is just as handsome, al
though not so lasting, as an ivory one.
ga dentist once came to me for an
elephants tusk, from which good set
of permanent teeth might be made for
wealthy client of his. He was to
spare no expense. 1 found him a tusk,
which, being an especially good one, L
sold for $3.50 a. pound, the usual price
being from $3.50 to $3.50 per pound.
afterward learned that the dentist
made $500 out of that set of teeth.
"Of course, it would be impossible
for dentists to sell teeth so cheaply as
they do now if the teeth were all made
from elephants tusks. AS a matter of
fact, so many people are now wearing
false teeth that 1 doubt if the ivory
suitable for this purpose would ever
be found. 1 am told a good many false
teeth are being made from vegetable
ivory, ivorine, etc. If so, the price of
teeth must naturally go down, and in
time the toothless one will probably be
able to replenish his mouth for an alb
surdly low sum. A set of teeth for
$1.25," concluded the dealer, laughing,
"would create boom in false teeth"

SHE WAS HYPNOTIZED.
An Explanation of Mps. TiltOn,s
Conduct During the Famous


Trial.
Chicago Times-Herald.
Thomas G. Shearman, who was
Henry Ward Beacher's most devoted
friend and attorney in the famous
Brooklyn trial twenty years ago,
says that the modern discoveries in
hypnotism fully clear up the great
est mysteries of that cause celebre.
No one could account at the time for
Mrs. Tilton's contradictory state
ments. She first asserted Beecher's
innocence and her own. Then, after

clared that the confession was false
Shearman says that she was a hyp-

control of her husband, and that she
acted just as Prof. Charcot's sub

was in the precise language used by
Charcot's sensitives. She said she

her to do certain acts at certain

house, and proving to the amaze
ment of friends that she had done
precisely what he had said she
would do.
On one occasion, when visiting in
another city, he discussed with his
incredulous host the curious power
which he claimed to possess over his
wife, and which he called magnetic
influence. The host proposed to make
a test then and there. Mrs. Tilton
was at home in Brooklyn. The skep
tical host himself selected the test.
It was that Mrs. Tilton should leave
her room, to which it was supposed
that she would already have retired
at that hour, go down to the library,
select a certain book and return with
it to her room. Tilton was able to
prove to his hosts satisfaction after

the command that he sent to her by
what the scientists now call tele-
pathy or thought transference. After
the Tiltons had separated, their son
injudiciously sought to reconcile his

house without his mothers consent.
Once alone with her Tilton easily
compelled her to sign the confession

forced to abandon the platform. He

has frequently sent money to relieve
Mrs. Tilton's necessities. Mrs. Til

bosom patterns of these shirts were
most extraordinary. The fashion has
now gone out, and only plain bosoms
are worn by the swells and those who
dress properly. However, there are
some who still cling to the old style,
and for their especial benefit shirts
with embroidered bosoms are manu-
factured and kept in stock. But they
are disposed of at enormous figures,
possibly with a view of discouraging
what is very evidently bad taste. It
has been noticed that a man who
wears a shirt with an embroidered
bosom is apt to also wear diamond
studs therein.
On the authority of a salesman in the
establishment above referred to, it
may be said that the tendency of
wealthy men to spend considera Bile
sums in providing elaborate underwear
is growing.
"Our young men, he said, "are be-
ginning to appreciate the luXuries that

dasher'S emporium. Our nation is just

in New York, which is the capital of
our civilization and is in direct touch
with Europe.

There are men in this city who pay
$50 a dozen for fine cambria handker-
chiefs The texture Of these handker-
chiefs is much like that of lace. They
cannot be made any finer, and that
is the reason why these faStidiouS
gentlemen cannot pay more for them.
There are men who not only insist
on sleeping in pajamas, but who will
never sleep two consecutive nights
in the same suit. A full set of
pajamas consists of fifteen suits, so
as to provide for the emergency Of
the wash, and as the price of a sim
gle suit ranges from $40 to $50, the
reader may form his own notion as
to the expense of this particular de-
partment of the wardrobe.
There are men, who, preferring
to incase their limbs at night in the
more luxurious folds Of a nightshirt,
are careful to see that these gar
ments shall be made, not only of the
most delicate material, but that they
shall also be embroidered in silk. In
some cases the nightshirts are made
with an open-work front. This idea
was supposed at one time to be eX-
clusively feminine, but in these days
of changes and invention and the
new woman, it is difficult to always
tell just what is a mans and what's
a WOman's.
Many men wear silk undergar-
ments and make change every day
in the week. The suits come in differ
ent tints. One suit will be light
blue, another a delicate salmon tint,
another red, another brown, another
purple, ETC. Each day, of course,
the tint changes, and if the wearer
be a careless man about dates he
may easily keep track Of the calendar
by having Monday, blue, Tuesday
green. and so on. Men of such
aesthetic inclinations are also likely
to wear socks and garters to match
their undersuits, and to change these
first two important articles of ap-
parel as regularly. as they change
the last. This is necessary in order
to preserve a harmony of colors.
1t seems an expensive habit, yet
men VINO have plenty of money and
whose artistic sense is highly devel-
oped. would feel forlorn if they should
by some mishap be obliged to wear a
green undersuit contemporaneously
with ochre socks and maroon garters.
Monday might be spent in worse
wavs than in preserving the unities.
But it is the men, usually the young
men, who intend to get married, VINO
are lavish spenders on their lingerie.
At one of the most fashionable haber-
dasher's a bridegroom-to-be recently
bought underwear to the cost oil
$1,000 in one day, and then sighed be-
cause he could not invest further. He
had. however, utterly exhausted the
resources of haberdashery.

STAGE PEOPLE ON A LARK.
Disguised as Street Musicians,
They Went About Singing for

Paris Letter to London Telegraph.
A small band Of musical artists-the
party including three ladies and a COM
poser whose names are well known to
the world-has ins ,ituteda singular tour
Of the city. They set out every morn
ing with the intention of earning money
by singing in the court yards of houses
to which they are successful in obtain
ing admission. Porters at the gate,
however, have stony hearts, and the
average concierge, when he chooses to
be nasty, is an uppish Individual and
a petty tyrant on the slightest chance.
"Is any one allowed to sing in your
court, Mr.. Porter" is the opening quts-
ton put by the advance agent of the
concert party, and when the reply is
in the affirmative some excellent vocal
music is rendered, the singers putting
up with the discomforts of having mats
shaken in their faces and ignoring the
rival performances of young ladies
practicing scales at the piano.
Some singular experiences have re-
warded these lovers of adventure.
They were quitting one courtyard
somewhat disheartened by a. meager
collection, when a young girl ran after

answer. "Why do you ask?'' "Oh, -
cried the girl, bursting into tears,
"how is it you have fallen so low?
1 am not rich, mademoiselle, but if 1
could only assist youl" With some
trouble it was explained to the girl that
the artist was singing for charity, and
not because of her own necessities
who is she?" asked the other mem
bers of the party. "She was my maid
once" replied the singer.
Some trouble to the musicians was
caused by an irate concierge who in
dulged in the free use Of expletives
when the concert began for the par
ticular benefit of bevy of milliners.
When the porter retired to his box and
slammed it's door a practical joker
turned. the key upon him and made
off. The prisoner thereupon escaped
from his lodge by the window, and ran
for policeman, with the result that
brought before the magistrate. At the
police station the porter was repri-
manded for his want of politeness, and
the singers were dismissed, first having
obtained permission to troll a ditty
in the street. Accordingly the police
men on duty in the station house were
at liberty to- enjoy a. popular air or two,
burglar is at burgling." Apart alto
gether from their receptions at various
newspaper offices, which have led to
handsome donations, the five singers
collected in one day fifty-siX francs,
at the rate of eleven francs apiece,
have received some hundreds of francs,
which they intend to distribute among
the poor and the victims of the Rue
Rochechouart conf1agration.
