FoTty-fYe days without a particle Of
fond, and complete recovery from a
naeDtal arrangement, is the strange and
unprecedented experience Of Philadel-
phia girl. Taken from an insane asylum
and out of the care Of physicians, this
girl was literally starved that her mind
zaight be. restored and her nerves
strengthened. Hers is not only the long
est fast on record, but it is the first in
stance Of starvation used as a cure for
insanity. The young woman, who gives
her name as Stella, desires TO be known
TO the public as Miss X" The queer
case has a tinge of romance about it..
The young man under whose direction,
and at whose solicitation Miss Is. took
The heroic treatment, is Henry Ritter.
The two young people met when both
1peFe students at Drexel institute. They
became fast friends, and the opinion in
the neighborhood Of the Ritter home IS
that the bond which binds them now IS
stronger than friendship.

RUINED BY MINING STOCK.

Globe national Bank Of Boston Closed
BY Comptroller Dawes.
The strenuous efforts to save the Globe
National Bank of Boston failed. Friday
morning its doors were closed and Spe
cial Bank Examiner Daniel @. Wing, ~
the request Of Comptroller Dawes, took
charge of the company's affairs. The
bank has deposits Of over $S,ODO,OOO, and
its total liabilities are more than $40,
000, 600. The bank officials say they do
not think the depositors viii lose dol
lar and that the bulk Of the losses re-
Gently sustained by the bank viii fall on
the stockholders.
II was the troubles Of the Globe that
caused the Squire and Broadway fail
ures. The difficulties originated some
time since when Charles IL. Cole, thea
president, associated himself with T. a.
Clark and W 4. Coolidge for the purpose
of floating what is known as the Three
C." group Of mining stocks. Or this
group United States Mining and United
States Oil were the principal properties.
On these stocks vast sums were loaned,
and early in the fall the crisis was re
ported when the bank examiner called a

the value of the mining and other stock
upon which heavy sums had been loaned,
and for a time Il looked as though he
would take possession Of the property as
receiver ut once.
Several days go the clearing house OF
Boston advanced $3,J00,000 to assist the
Globe bank in lis difficulties, all but
about 5000 600 having been paid in cash
before the close Of business Thursday.
The clearing house declined 10 lend fur
Their assistance Comptroller Dawes be-
came satisfied that the bank must in any
event close its doors very soon, md IT,
was seen-that in order 10 protect all the
depositors the institution should be plac-
ed in the hands Of a temporary receiver
before certain creditors should withdraw
their funds at the expense Of less fortu-
nate creditors or depositors.

THE DEAD OF TaE MAINE.
To BE Brought Home from Havana and
Inferred in Arlington.

To Be Brought Home from Havana and
Inferred in Arlington.
The United States battlesbip Texas
will bring home the bodies of the heroes
OF the Inflated Maine from Havana. IL
is fitting that this vessel should be select
ed for the task. as she is the only sister
ship Of the Maine ON our navy list. Con
gress has made an appropriation of $40,
600 for the removal of the bodies OF the
dead sailors TO the land in whose service
they sacrificed their lives.
The great silent majority Of those that
met their death in Havana harbor when
the Maine went to destruction have been
left buried pretty much as they fell, fac
ing the enemy A few Of the bodies OF
officers Of rank have been brought back
to the land OF their birth. A total of l92
bodies were buried in 1T6 collins, which
tells the tale of those mutilated beyond
all semblance of individuality. OF the
1872 but "A were actually or supposedly
identified. the others being mere parts,
or so badly injured as to be beyond rec
ognition. Nineteen Of the bodies were
buried with imposing ceremonies on the
10Th of February, 1S9S-four days after
that fearful night in the beautiful Colon
cemetery. Afterward 14S others We're
buried in Havana Twenty-Five of the
dead were Carried TO Key West and
buried on the Government reservation
and it is likely that the bodies will re
main there. OF the total go lost IS are
still missing and buried beneath the
wreck of the ship in Havana harbor
The bodies are to be transferred 70
ginc-lined baskets. Theoretically sealed,
after which they win be boxed UP in the
usual way and marked with the identi-
flying or part identifying record already
on file. From the moment the bodies ar
received on board ship the ensign win
be carried at half-mast, and will so con
tinue till the last coffin has been trans
shipped at Norfolk.
Owing TO the deep draught of the Texas
it would be impossible for her to bring
the remains TO Washington, and 1t will
be necessary to transfer them to large
barge or couple of the big navy tugs.

Why risnes ar s.ippcry.

Fish of almost every sort are, when
fresh caught, slippery and hard to hold.
This slipperiness is due to sort Of
mucus exuded through the scale, and
is of the greatest Importance to all
Shiny creatures.
One Of the important functions of the
fsh's Shiny coating is to protect it from
the attacks of fungus, form of plant
life found in all waters, salt and fresh,
foul and pure. If the fish is so Injured
that some spot becomes uncovered by
the slime, barely visible fungus will
be likely to lodge there, and when it is
once lodged the process Of reproduction
is very rapid 1t soon extends over the
cllls and kills the fish.
The primary purpose of the slime Of
the fish is to reduce its friction when in
motion through the water and increase
its speed. 1t also serves as a cushion to
the scales, which it thus protects from
many injuries.

FORTY KNOWN 10 Be DEAD.
List OF Victims OF Brazne1l Mine FIX
piosion Is Very Large.

List OF Victims OF Brazne1l Mine TX
piosiou is Very Large.
The horror of the Braznell mine ex-
f1llesion near Brownsville, Pa, is worse
than first esumated Tuesday morning
the number OF dead was known to be
over forty.
The explosion was terrific, and was
heard plainly at Brownsville, four miles
distant. The main shaft was totally
wrecked and rendered helpless. About
four cages of men had gone down to
work. Mr. Thomas, the cageman, on
his fourth trip, went to the bottom with
fourteen men, and gave the signal for
the cage to rise, when the explosion oc-
cured The cage was blown with ter
rife force to the top of the shaft, and
fell back to the bottom, completely block
ing across the mine. Timbers were hurl-
ed hundreds of feet; the lower ring of
brick work in one shaft was completely
wrecked, and had to be tunneled to get
into the mine at all.
The explosion was caused by a miner
naked light coming into contact with gas
in a room where no gas was supposed to
exist. The tipple was wrecked and the
buildings over the fan and the engine
were shattered to splinters. The iron
work at the bottom of the shaft was
twisted in all Imaginable shapes, telling
plainly of the awful force of the explo-
sion. Immediately following the roar of
the underground inferno black damp
poured out of the pit mouth, inviting
suifocation and death to those who would
gladly have entered and gone to the res
cue. 4 temporary cage was rugged up
at the air shaft and rescuers went down.
A CHASTITY sight met their gaze. Mangled
bodies were found on all sides. The mine
looked like a total wreck. The rescuers
pushed on and soon fourteen men We're
taken out Some of these were dying,
and nearly all were horribly mangled.
Fire broke out in the mines, and if any
of the men still there were alive there
was every indication that they would be
suffocated by smoke and their bodies
burned.
