an who was nearly asphyxiated a
Naegeli's hotel, Hoboken, on Sunday
night. has almost entirely u She
was very low at three o'clock yesterday
afternoon. A change for the better came
shortly after that hour. and this nnorn-
ing she was up and walking around the
ward in the hospital. Size was lively
talked a good deal of her sudden call
from deaths door. She was very grateful
to the physicians who had worked so
hard over her to save her life.
She said h when she went to bed en-
Sunday night she turned off the gas. She
knew perfectly well the use of gas. The
only way she could account for the gas
being, turned on was that she did it in
her sleep or had knocked against the jet
after turning 1t off.
Miss Landgraf. who is a remarkably
pretty woman, is anxiously waiting for
her release from the hospital SO that she
may continue on her journey to Bluftown,

New York Herald Forecasts.-The
cold wave extends from the extreme
Northwest southeastward to Texas, and
eastward over the Central States and
lake region 1t is also felt i'm this sec
tion. But its easterly advance is re-
tarded, and may be further checked by
the movement of a storm from the
Southwest. Temperature fell yesterday

in the lake region and twenty degrees
below zero north of Montana. The
Southwestern depression will move to-
morrow toward the Middle Atlantic
