 Mrs. Fisk said that she had experienced the extremes of both luxury and want. She says her only desire now is to spend the remaining. days of her life in peace. Although she does not express verbally her desire for seclusion, 1t is very evil dent that the notoriety and publicity of affairs since the death of Fisk and which have gained new impetus since Stokes death, are very. distastefuI to her, and she now only aks to be left alone and out of the talk that has once more brought her name before the public in view of the death Of Stokes
 T want to make the most of life in quietitude and seclusion." she said. "I have learned the fickleness of happiness and the frequency of troubles. Houses that l have lived in have been burned. If l was the least skeptical I might be- lieve in the followings of fates, but I look upon it as only the natural conse- quences.''
 Mrs Fisk talked of her former homes. of churches, etc She is a woman of very sincere religious proclivities, and follows the happenings in the religious world as closely as her life in South Boston will permit Although she has the knack of making friends with all with whom she comes in contact she sees very few persons and spends most of her time in her little sleeping room. Her eyesight Is good and she reads much, chiefly religious works.
 Mrs. Fisk Is now in the receipt of a very small income-some $500 to $400, all that remains of the millions which Fisk left In the hotel where Mrs. Fisk lived while in New York she remained several years after the death of her husband. The proprietor of the hosteiry. Frank Risley. failed, and then 1t leaked out that Mrs Fisk lost S250,000 which Risley had borrowed of her.

James FisH<'s Widow Living i'm Poverty

< oSToN. Mass. November B.
 IO Mra Lucy D. Fisk. widow of
 JoA James Fisk. the victim of Ed @ ward S. Stokes. Is living in an old. delapidated house. 57s East Eighth street. South Boston Mrs- Fisk. now in the sos. is spending her declining years in lonely seclusion. The reverse of fortune, the suppianting of the joys of command ing wealth by indulgence, has enfeebled and somewhat discouraged her, but the sunny nature that once won the heart of Jim Fisk. has not departed entirely, in spite of her misfortunes; and those who know her, who are very few in num- Der. call her a '1ovable old lady" New ertheless, her association with the bene- fits. and possibly blessings, of enormous wealth and social position that were once hers are missed, and there is a star ing contrast in her present strict, strin- gent circumstances.
 Mrs. Fisk is now about 65 years of age. She is pprtly and tall. Her face is one of the motherly sort-calm and smiling in turns. Her blue eyes look young and sparkling and when she referred to her happiness of the past they sparkled joy fully. She arranges her hair in side swoop with the parting on the left side. Though the features are sharp and point ed there is not a trace of sharpness about her. She speaks in a very soft, easy voice, and when talking of anything relating to the tragedy of 1872, that wrecked her whole life. a vein of sadness Is very mo- ticeable in her voice.
 q have known wealth and affluence. poverty and want, but I do not worry and am happy" she says The only thing to do with trouble is to look 1t in the eye. Mind must rule matter.
 q don't wish to think of the tragedy | or of Stokes. I never do If I can possi-
 bly avoid 1t. Stokes killed my husband. | did me the greatest wrong possible, l caused me trouble, want and heart burn | ings, but forgave him long ago. I hope
 he'll find more peace in. death than he

CT will be some ten or fifteen minutes walk distant Each villager will be all lowed to keep cows and other stock and ten acres will be set apart for grazing purposes. One hundred acres will be de- voted to a park. The village itself will occupy about fifty acres, the grazing plot about ten acres and 700 or 800 acres will be left for cultivation.
 There will be no difficulty in getting people to. live in the village. A large number of applications have already been received from respectable negro, families In various parts of the country. Some of these applications have been. received from as far South as Georgia and even Florida. The preference will be given to the negroes of Virginia. The villagers will be allowed to own their own houses, but If at any time they wish to sell them the movers of the scheme will have an option on them, the price to be decided by arbitration. The name of the village has not yet been decided on. Some help has already been received from wealthy men in the North and other donations have been promised. The development of the movement Is looked upon with. keen interest here and in other parts of the South.
 Since this movement started reports have been received that in at least two opner StateS Tn the Soutn similar pro- ject will be undertaken, if this one suc- ceeds. It is also said that this is the beginning of the movement to colonize the negroes in various parts of the Southern States where the cities have congested colored population. This, it is believed, will result in a large part of the negro population eventually leaving the cities and settling in these farm villages. thereby paving the way toward. filling their places in factories and other lines of work by white labor.

It was In better condition then. but since the owner has died the place is left almost entirely uncared for It Is in great need of repair. It was once a very nice old-fashioned house." she said, as she pointed out remaining relics about the room that showed that the fur nishings were costly.
 She apologized for the cold room in which the reporter was received, saying that company very seldom came there, and therefore no fire was kept in the front room. She said her room was heated, but that she didn't like to re- ceive anyone there. Then, speaking of the murder of her husband. she said:
 Tt was so sad-very sad. But I don't let myself brood over 1t or think of 1t l am not a Christian Scientist. but be- lieve that continual thought of ones troubles make them seem harder and harder to bear. I believe if one diverts ones mind with a good book or something of that sort. troubles are greatly les sened. I seldom refer to the tragedy, and try to forget as much as I can my trials.
 Sometimes 1t relieves me to think of the happiness that was in the days when Mir.

ApOplexy During Sleep.


The frequent occurrence Of apoplexy dur
ing sleep Illustrated in the case of Colo
mel Albert D. Shaw. He had made a pa
triotic speech during the evening, and had
retired in apparently good health. In his
instance there was a combination Of causes
to bring about the result-a banquet, men
tai excitement, probable indigestion and a
coincident lowering of vital tone.
In some respects the circumstances were
similar to those attending the demise OF
Mr.. Henry George, who was likewise
stricken after forced efforts on the plat
form
Why the accident in question should oc-
cur at time when all the bodily functions
are seemingly at rest Is at first thought
somewhat difficult to explain. When, how
ever, the arteries Of the brain become brit
tie by age the slightest change of blood
pressure Is often enough to precipitate a
rupture of these vessels and cause the es-
cape Of clot either upon the surface or
into the substance Of the brain.
High mental tension being always asso-
ciated with congestion. is in itself an active
predisposing cause of apopleXy. This condi-
tion is apt to continue during more or
less troubled sleep, and with an overttred
nervous system there is less resistance to
overstretching Of the cerebral arteries than
during the waking hours. Nature, instead
Of rebounding, simply succumbs. The full
ness of the vessels increases until the final
break occurs.
Generally the effusion Of blood Is suffi-
GENTLY large to be followed by instanta-
neous death, causing one sleep to pass
quietly into the other. AS evidence of this
peaceful ending it Is often noticed that the
patients are found as If In natural slumber,
comfortably lying on the side, with bed
clothes undisturbed and with countenances
perfectly calm.

Henry Schmalsteig, a blacksmith, had his
neck broken on Saturday evening in an ini-
tiation in the Wheeling Lodge of the Order
of American Foresters, according to a Mon
day Wheeling. W. Va, dispatch in the New
York Sun. He is alive, and 1t was not until
yesterday afternoon that the physicians as
certained that his neck was broken. Schmal-
steig, with number of other candidates.
appeared on Saturday night for initiation
into the Foresters, and In the course of the
ceremonies something occurred that caused
the blacksmith to leap into the air; he
came down on the back Of his head with
terrible force and lay unconscious long
after he was removed to his home.
Yesterday the physicians discovered that
the seventh cervical vertebrae had been
crushed. That the man still lived greatly
puzzled the DOCTORS and they determined
to spare no effort to save his life. A bed
Of sandbags was prepared and Schmalsteig
was placed in such a position that he can
not move his back or head. Yesterday
evening the doctors said they thought he
would recover.
The order of which schmalsteig is now
virtually member will see that he is well
taken care of.
