time was taken up largely by discussions on
proposed changes in the constitution. The
presided at the meeting, was all of a
routine nature.

State laboratory of hygiene and appropriat-
ing $4,000 annually to maintain it will
probably be handed down on second read
ing i'm the House to-day. The original bill

that the laboratory will be In charge OF
four directors, who shall be the secretary
of the State Board of Health and the MEM
bers OF that board.
Senator Ogborn. in discussing the bill
last night, said he felt that its real virtues
have not been set forth by the city press.
THE best thing about the BILL" he said.
Health TO enforce our pure-food law. In
other State, but has no means OF enforcing
II. Other States have such laboratories
and have found them invaluable. The city
OF Fort Wayne has one, and il has proved
OF great benefit to the city.
The bill gives the Board Of Health the
means to find out whether any aduterated
food is being sold I'm the State. II COM
plant is made of any article of food the
secretary of the board will have a labora-
tory fitted up with all modern appliances
for Analysing samples of the food. AT
present IL any analyses are made it is at the
expense of private individuals or at the ex-
pense of the secretary of the board. There
is but one laboratory i'm the State, aside
from that at Fort Wayne. that is fitted
up for such work, and that is the one at
Purdue. The State Board of Health should
be provided with such a laboratory, and
hope to see my bill become a law"

COLORED GIRLS DELUSION.
Recovering from a Trance, ROwena
walker Tells Queer Tales.

Recovering from a Trance, ROwena
walker Tells Queer Tales.
Rowena Walker, the colored girl who
was seized with catalepsy last Monday
night, remained in that state with her jaws
tightly locked until last night at TBS o'clock.
One of the remarkable things about the
girls case is that she predicted yesterday
morning in writing and also Saturday
that her jaws would be opened last night
at TBS o'clock. Her case was one of mys-
terry, not only to her colored friends. but
to the white people attracted by her strange
actions.
To the people who gathered, mystifed,
around the cot on which she lay the girl
made startling remarks after coming out
of her peculiar trance. Singing, praying
and Historically talking, she seemed like
one demented.
The girl declared she had suffered no
bodily pains while in her cataleptic state
for seven days. She had neither eaten
nor drunk since partaking of her supper
Monday night. She lay on the cot with her
jaws tightly clenched. At times her form
those standing about would be answered
by her in writing. Her talk was entirely
of daily visits with the Lord through his
kingdom.
Her case has aroused much interest
among the colored people living in her sec
ton of the city. All believed what she had
telling of her experience they knelt in de-
vout attitude and listened attentively to
her story. She now claims that she has
been entirely cleansed from those sins she
committed by refusing TO do Gods bid
ding some months ago She said she gave
up preaching the gospel when she came
to this city last September. and because
she sa men about her indulging i'm drink
ing and smoking and gambling she re-
solved to initiate them
Vera Cruz Duncan at whose house the
Walker girl lived. said that she seemed
alarmed last Monday night when he was
preparing to go to church and the girl sud-
denly fell at his feet. He and his wife
picked UP the rigid girl and placed her
couch Duncan advised his wife to
call a doctor, but the girl motioned them
not to do so, as she was suffering no illness
She wrote a tablet that she saw the
flaming sword held by an angel, and if
they would not get doctor she would come
back to life when God had finished telling
her of her duties in this world. She con-
tinued writing short notes each day until
she had used up her four tablets On Sat-
urday morning she told them 20 prepare for
her return to this earth, as God had told
her she would again regain her life
The girl as she lay on her couch last
night wrapped In her bath rode presented a
weird spectacle. Her dark eyes glstened
as IL some demoniacal spirit had taken
possession OF them She had full control
of her body and said that despite the fact
that neither food nor drink had been taken
Ly her since last Monday night she did not
feel weak. Food was given her last night
in small portions. She vows that she will
preach the word of God.

URIBE-URIBE ENDS OWN LIFE.


KINGSTON. Jamaica, Feb. s.-The Brit
ish steamer Para, which arrived here to
day from Colon, brings the news Of the
suicide on Jan. 80 of the former Colombian
revolutionary general, Uribe-Uribe. General
Uribe-Uribe published a letter Dec. II adj
vising Colombia to await the lapsing of
the Panama canal concession in 1904. which
would leave the Colombian government a
free hand in the matter of the canal.
The reports brought by the Para indi-
cate the possibility of another revolution in
opposition to the Panama canal treaty.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The report that
General Uribe-Uribe had committed suicide
caused considerable surprise here. He was
less than forty years of age, was a bril-
liant fighter and was long a thorn in the
side of Colombia Colombian officials here
also are surprised and grieved at the re-
ports of a threatened revolution in Colon
bia. DR.. Heron, the charge d'affaires of
Colombia i'm Washington. says he can con-
ceive no reason why there should be a
revolutionary movement. He said he could
not realize how 1t can be on account of the
Panama canal negotiations, as the treaty
providing for the construction of that wa
terway has not been ratified by the Ameri-
can Senate, much less by the Colombian
Congress, which has not yet been elected.
