Decline to Order Assessment.

AT meeting of stockholders Of the Stand
ard Butterine, Company at the Hotel Bar
ton last evening a proposition to assess the
stock 35 per cent and use the proceeds to
pay off the Indebtedness of the company
and then resume the business was voted
down. A committee Of nine was appointed
to learn from the stockholders their opin-
ion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of subscribing an
amount sufficient to purchase the plant of
the company when it is sold at public auc-
ton.
Mr. o. G. Staples presided over the meet
ing, which was attended by about one hun
dred stockholders.
In the course of the meeting it was stated
that the company had ceased to exist owing
to a noncompliance with the provisions of
the statute in West Virginia which re-
quired the payment of certain license taxes,
and that the company was out of existence.
In this connection, as was ascertained from
Mr.. Wilton ]. Lambert today the attorney
for the company, the receivers, in Septem-
Der petitioned the court regarding the mat
ter, and obtained from the justice presiding
an order authorizing the payment of the
tax In question. which. 1t is said, was duly
attended to, and the assertion is therefore
made that the Butterine Company as a cor
poration. is as much in existence as ever.
and that the stockholders rights in the cor
poration have been fully protected.

ASLEEP TwENTY-THREE DAYS
Peculiar Case Of Della Mulligan in
New York

The New York World of today says: For
more than three weeks Della Mullgan, a
comely young Irish girl, has lain in an I'M
conscious state at the J. Hood Wright Hos
pital, Amsterdam avenue and 131st street.
Her case is almost as puzzHng and interest
ing to the doctors as that of Nellie Cor
coran, who died after her three weeks
trance in ST. Vincent's Hospital Only twice
in the whole period has the girl spoken, and
then it was to mutter few words which
showed that she was delirious.
She had been In this country from Ire
land only few days when, on October %
last, she went to work as a domestic In the
family of F. c. Smith, No 548 West 1S5th
street. She Is about twenty three years old
and an orphan. with friends In this coun-
try. The first night of her service in the
Smith family she either blew out the gas
in her room Or turned 1t on after extin-
gushing it. She was found unconscious in
the morning. DR.. Alfred Shipman of No.
SCI West 1880 street was called, and used
the usual methods of resuscitation after
gas asphyxiation The girl did not recover
consciousness, and she was taken to the
hospital
For several days her jaws were set, and
it was found necessary to administer food
through a tube inserted In her nostrfIs
The Jaws relaxed after a time. and food Is
now given her through the mouth in the
natural way. The asphyxiation resulted In
the formation of small blood clot ON the
brain. the doctors are inclined to believe
and the girl is suffering from a paralysis
which has taken from her the power of
speech entirely. Only twice, once on No
yember 1sands again last Saturday, did she
find her voice, for a few minutes and then
1t was seen that her mind was not clear
The doctars have tried every known meth.
odk to rouse her. but without success Oxy-
gen was administered, but 1t had no effect
A strong electric battery was used but the
girls paraayzed nerves refused to respond
Superintendent Tewnley of the hospital said
last nights -
"The strangest thing about the case is
that her pulse. temperature and respiration
remain perfectly normal and she Is In
good physical condition. Still think that
she will die. She will not die tonight, but
under the conditions she has very small
chance for recovery.
Although she is unconscious she viii
partake of food with apparent relish She
has seemingly tried to speak several times
but no one could tell what she attempted to
say gR9
The girl has lain on her cot in the hospi-
tai ward now for SO long that she has come
almost to be regarded as a permanent In
mate of the Institution. She does not move,
and her sleep or coma Is apparently peace
full and undisturbed.
On the two occasions when the sleeping
girl found her voice for few minutes her
deiirium showed that she imagined she was
back In Ireland. Each time when the doc
tors bent over the cot to catch her mutter-
ings they heard her say: Take me back
to America. don't want to STAY here Il
want to live over there"
Yesterday was the girls twenty -third day
of sleep.

FERTILE FIELD FOR INVESTORS
Recent Reports From Peru to the
State Department.

American capitalists have found in Peru
a fertile field for investments, according to
advices from there. Minister Dudley at
Lima has reported to the State Department
the proposal of an American company to
the Peruvian government for building a
railroad from Piura or Lambayeque to a
point the Maranon river, thence to a
point near the Manseriche, in the eff
fort to reach navigable waters emptying
into the Amazon This interoceanic line
would cross the Andes at their lowest ele-
walton, ITO feet. The same company pro-
poses to build line efrom a point on
the Maranon to Cewo de Pasco with
branches reaching into other lands capa-
Bile of exploitation. The Peruvian govern
ment has conceded to the company the ex-
elusive right for two years to make pre-
lminary surveys along the routes and
should the enterprise prove practicable has
agreed to close definite contract
United States Consul K. K. Kenneday at
Para has notified the State Department
that the Peruvian government desires to
build railroad connecting the headwaters
of the Amazon with the western coast and
is offering fiattering inducements for that
purpose to capitalists From Pongo de
Manseriche. the extreme head of navigation
ON the Amazon. the road will run through
the states OF Lorefo, Lambayequ and Piu-
ra to the city Of Piura. where it will con-
meet with the present railroad from that
point to Paita. The road will be 40 miles
long, and, although it has been thought
impossible to build a road across the An
des, recent explorations, says Consul Ken
neday, have discovered pass northwest of
Iquitos. through which 1t is claimed road
can be built on grade of not exceeding
3a per cent. The consul adds:

plateau have been reputed for centuries to
be the greatest In the world. There are also
along the line OF this railroad vast forests
of valuable hardwoods mahogany. walnut

OLD BONES.
Differences in Quality and the Uses
Made of Them-Boneblack.
From the New York SUI

From the New York Sun.
Them there is kittle-stewed and these
here is tank-b'iled,' said the foreman of a
bone-boiling establishment, pointing to two
piles of old bones which had passed through
the rendering process. Here's a lot O
shinbone-knuckles all ready for burnin'.
They'll be chucked in with that pile o.
ribs. skulls and miscellaneous Jints you
see there in that corner, and all made into
boneblack.
THE burners would like to have the best
quality of bones for their use because they
get more, charcoal out of EN- than they ken
out O. common bones. The comeback they
make they sell to sugar refiners.
But the best quality o. bones is shins
and thighs and forelegs, and We don't
waste no Shins nor no thighs nor no front
legs on the bone burners nor the fertilizer
grinders. They can't pay more than s23
ton for the best there is, and We ken sell
all the shins we ken git fer $40 a ton-
Thighs is worth $50 ton to us. and every
ton O. front legs we bile fetches us not less
than $50.
1.-The manufacturer of knife handles, cuff
buttons, collar buttons. bone jeweiry, para
sol and umbrella handles. combs, tooth
brushes, hair brushes and all sorts O. things
that bone ken be used for, buy all the bones
the country ken produce. The bones for
buttons and knife handles mostly goes to
Europe.
Fancy parasoI handles Is turned out o.
sleeps legs, and some o. the incest ivory
fans you ever see used to be trottin' some
old ram or eve around the pastur' lot
Sheep leg bones polishes up slicker than
any other bones, and amt so brittle as the
shin bone of cow or the thigh bone of
steer.
I'VE collect bones from all over the coun-
try. Every town or district has its enter
prism citizen who is on, the watch out for
al the dead critters that turn up in his
bailfwick and he Is particular not to waste
any o. the bones. A ton o. pig iron amt
worth more than quarter as much as
ton o. the commonest kind of bones Is when
it is ready for the burner or grinder.
1--WE git pint o. good neatsfoot oil out
OF every set o. shfns and hoofs of a cow or
steer. The liquor that's left after bilin'
the thighs and shins makes as good sizin
glue as paper-maker ken git. We ken git
enough marrow out OF a carload O. bones
to stock store with bears grease. The
best BARRIERS bear grease is made out OF
the marrow of old bones"
