in the hat factory at which she was
employed, regained consciousness for
the first time yesterday. but, owing to
her weak condition. DE-. Wade. the at

talking. The case has attracted wide
spread attention. At no time since she
became unconscious did she take any
nourishment until Thursday. when. with
great difficulty. a small quantity was
administered. She has lost much flesh
and is exceedingly weak. About 10
o'clock yesterday morning a twitching

A Little Known Company.

The Merchant Venturers is a Bristol
company which Is comparatively little
known to the world at large, although 1t
is very old corporation, dating back to
the reigns of Edward vi, from whom its
charter is derived.
1t played a remarkable part In the days
Immediately following its Inauguration,
and at the time of good Queen Bess, when
England really established her supremacy
over the seas by the defeat of the Spanish
armada, It took the premier place In the
seafaring life Of the country. Indeed, this
company was a pioneer In the development
alike of the maritime trade and skill in
navigation which have won our proud pres
tige for us in the world.
1t sent out the expedition under Sebas-
tian Cabot which developed the trade with
the West Indies and made Bristol so ia
nous port In the days before Liverpool
wrested the supremacy from her. Four Of
the men of war, indeed, which went out to
battle with the armada were sent by the
Merchant Venturers.
The history Of the company In it's later
period demonstrates the fact, to which at
tention has been drawn by the poet, that
"many rose is born to blush unseen and
waste its sweetness on the desert air. -

Alderman Barber is very quiet man
but he is a deep thinker, and those who

The all important question is, why did
Mr.. Dennis slight Ray Greene Huling,
when he was sending out invitations to
the love feast at Alderman Thornton's? II
anybody deserves recognition at the hands
of the bosses, Ray is that man. Ray is a
Republican every time.
Mr.. Dennis is worried, and when Mr.
Dennis is worried Mr.. Dennis wears long
countenance. 1t is bad enough to receive
the cold shoulder from the Third and
Fifth wards, but when the attorney gen.

known Democratic leader in Pawtucket
seem to take an interest In Mr.. Dennis
welfare something is going to drop, and

MILK A NUTRlTlvE.

A Medical Man Who Existed For Thirty
Days on Sweet Milk.
A medical man expresses the belief that
a person could live for any length of time
and take heavy exercise all the while on no
other food than sweet milk. His convio-
ton Is the result Of personal experiment.

tains that the old belief az to bread being
the first essential Of human life is shown
by his experiment 10 DO errone6aa
His test was to live 30 days with only
sweet milk az nourishment. In the whole
time he lost 81 pounds In weight, but no
strength. He even attributes the loss Of
weight to the warmth of the weather and
to excessive exercise on tAe bicycle and
the daily manipulation of 16 pound dumb
bells and other heavy weights. He took
more exercise than usual In order to test
the thing fairly. On the seventh day a
the experiment he ran several fast races In
q skillful manner, but was beaten In each
race
On the thirtieth day he again pitted
himself against the same ruSAer and got
tho best of his opponent, which certainly
would tend to confirm his statement that
he lost no strength during the 80 days
test. He drank four pints OF milk daily
for the last week. He thinks a healthy
person should take about five pints OF
milk daily when no other food Is being
taken. His PRACTICE was to drink milk at
intervals for two hours during the day,
commencing at 2 o'clock In the morning
and continuing until 10 at night. After
that he would take no more until the next
morning. ST. Louis Post Dispatch
