The peculiar and apparently almost un-
precedented action of Bernardus Bennett.
a hopeless paraiytic of Jamaica, in walk
ing Gown stairs in his seep has caused
much interest among his friends here, ana
also brings TO light peculiar history OF a
family which appears to have long suffered
from the malady.
Bennett is seventy-nine years old. Hs
has been confined to his room and bed for
upward of three years, his legs being
wholly useless. one morning last week
Mr.. Bennett suddenly arose while sound
asleep and wa ked down stairs. He went
TO the armchair, near the kitchen range.
which he used TO sit in, and sat down A
negro woman who had been a domestic IN
the Bennett family for years badly
frightened that she ran screaming TO the
storehouse near by and told Mrs. Bennett
and her daughter Helen that Mr.. Bennett
was dead sure and his ghusy was in the
armchair. Mrs. and Miss Bennett hurried
to the house and found Mr. Bennett sit
ting upright in his chair. They were at
first frightened and then UVerjoyed, for
they thought possibly the ma.ady had left
him. They spoke TO him. but he did not
answer After time he stood up and
without apparent effort walked up the
flight of stairs into his room. He had
dressed himself when he arose, and he now
removed his clothing and went 10 bed. He
was later asked by his wife how he per
formed the feat, but denied having been
down stairs. 1t now appears that he was
wholly unconscious OF the act and cannot
be made to believe the story. 1t is be-
lieved he was in trance.
Miss Helen Bennett, the daughter, also
was pardlytic until five years ago About
twenty years ago she and her father lost
control of their limbs. Treatment was ap-
piled ano. Miss Bennett became able TO
walk about on crutches One morning
about five years ago Miss Benneu walked
into the parlor and threw down the crutches
she had been using at her mothers feet.
Mrs. Bennett, who is seven'y-fiVe years
old, was also stricken with paralysis three
years ago, and. like her husband and
daughter. suddenly found herself IN full
possession of her former strength. She and
the daughter have retained their powers
since but Mr. Bennett seems to be as
badly stiffened now as he was before the

ability for city folks, of whom he stands
in great awe when in their own confines,
but considers less than children in his. He
has laid down laws and whoever comes
within his domain must obey them. No

About sixty miles west of here, in the

Titled Men Working
For haborers' Wages

1t is some consolation to the hundreds
of thousands OF men who are compelled
to work for small salaries 10 know that
their pittance is princely compared with
the salaries which many men in the
higher strata OF society are content to
draw.
One is not surprised 10 learn that on
the Continent there are Judges q $500
year, and that Swiss schoolmaster con
siders himself passing rich" on SO
week; but it is a shock to our insular
pride to learn that famous English
Bishop draws a salary Of $35 a year. and
that more than one man of title and re-
pute receives his So a week with a CRATE
ful heart.
In all the lists Of microscopic salaries.
the most uuaccomtable is the $50 a year
which DR.. Randall Davidson Bishop of
Winchester, draws as clerk Of the closet
of the Chapels Royal. This office involves
many duties which take him to Windsor;
and II must be a sad reflection TO his
lordship that every time he makes the
journey his first-class return ticket just
absorbs a fornight's salary. Compared
with this office an archdeaconry at $3.50 a
year IS a lucrative post, and even a vicar
at 81 month may take heart Of grace"

From time to time articles appear
In various papers about the so-called
Hill control OF Baltimore a Ohio,
together with exhaustive details Of
various struggles which are supposed
to be In progress between Mr.. HIN
and other people In the Baltimore &
Ohio board. The details OF these strug-
giles are very interesting, but are open
TO the criticism that they have no er-
istence In fact The plain facts OF the
matter are, first that Mr.. Hin does not
control Baltimore & Ohio, nor has no
at any time expressed any desire or
taken any steps In that direction;
second. that there has at no time been
any differences Of opinion between Mr.,
Hin and the Baltimore a Ohio people
with regard TO n selection OF general
manager. the selection OF Mr.. Under
wood being satisfactory to everybody:
and third. that the delay in regard to
Mr.. Underwood's acceptance OF tho
general managership OF Baltimore a
Ohio was due to matters connected
with the 500 Line more than anything
else.
II Ia pretty well understood hero
that Mr.. Hill was invited TO interest
himself in Baltimore a Ohio. on the
theory that he could be OF great SER
vice to the property as an adviser, and
TO this end he. with some OF his
friends, purchased a substantial inter-
est in the preferred stock OF tho
company. This interest Is nowhere
near a controlling interest. but is still
very large. II may be said without
fear OF contradiction. that there is en-
tire haf nony in Baltimore q Ohio
