YOUNG MAN IN 4 FRINGE.
Singular Case That is Mystifying Physi- cians In fl Massachusetts Town

Boston, Nov. "A special to the Herald from Easton, Mass, says: A case which is causing much perplexity to the members of the medical frater- nifty, is that of Augustus Hanson, a son of Oliver Hanson, who resides in South Easton. Last Saturday evening Hanson, who is eighteen years of age, retired at 10 o'clock. When his brother went into the room at midnight Angus tus was lying on the bed, apparently asleep, with his clothes on. Thinking that Augustus had accidentally fallen asleep, his brother attempted to awak- en him, but was unable to do so.
 MT. Hanson was called, and made an effort to revive his son, but without avail. Dr. Elcock was then summoned, but he was unable to restore the young man to consciousness. Since that time young Hanson has been in a dormant condition. Yesterday he opened his eyes for a moment, but failed to recognize any one around him and immediately lapsed into unconsciousness again.
 The attending physician is unable to account for the young mans condition.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Nicholas, bish- op of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands, who has just arrived in Washington from San Francisco, was among the callers on President Mckinley to-day. He was accompanied by MT. DeWol- lant, charge d'affaires of the Russian legation, and presented a most striking appearance clad in full canonical robes of royal purple velvet, with high head dress and flowing black veil and with his broad chest fairly covered with dia- monds, pearls and other precious stones of great value The bishop is the only official representative bishop of the Russian Greek church in the territory of the United States, and he attracted much attention as he visited the va rious executive departments to pay his respects to the cabinet officers.
 The office seekers were not in evi- dence at the white house to-day and to the few who called the announce ment was made that the president would see no one. Postmaster General Gary was with the president for some time. A little later Secretary Sherman came from the state department. lie had some foreign papers to present. Attorney General McKenna conferred with the president as to the appoint ments under the department of justice.
