ASLEEP FOR SIX WEEKS.
Not Awakened for Over Month
Many Cures Suggested.

New York.-Cures for G.. Endicott
Aliens strange affection are pouring
into Long Branch from all parts Of
the country. Allen has been asleep,
except at slight intervals, for the last
six weeks. He has been a patient at
the Monmouth Memorial hospital for
five weeks. His present condition was
brought about by overwork and
anxiety.
Allen is being treated by electricity.
He drinks three quarts of milk daily
and is aroused two or three time a
day. He remains awake less than
three minutes at a time. His mind is
"a blank regarding his present ailment
and how it was brought about, he be-
ing able to refer only to incidents
which took place in his childhood.
Remedies are being received by the
dozen. One person suggests music, an
other hugging, while a Prof Herman
wants to hypnotic Allen. The latest
person to come forward is woman
from Westerly, R. l. She writes to
Drs. Whitmore and Shaw as follows:
Il read an account of G. Endicott
Aliens strange sleep | know of a
young woman who was similarly ar,
fected. l made an ointment which
cured her. One application is all that
was needed. 1t destroys germs, and is
as harmless as skinned milk"
The woman says she will send a
sample box without cost if the doctors
so desire. All cures by mail are
| ignored, as are requests for photo
graphs of the sleeper, who is not even
seen by visitors.
Aliens case is puzzle. The
physicians at the beginning were al
most confident that he would be we'll
in couple of weeks. Now that five
weeks have passed and his condition
has not improved, the only perceptible
change being a decrease in his weight,
they have given up prophesying.

PINHoLE PHOTOGRAPHY.

Photography without lens would
seem at first glance to be impossible.
1t is so generally understood that for
good work a good lens is necessary
that it is scarcely credible that some
of the finest Photographic work is OBJ
tanned without the use of lens at all,
merely by the aid of a minute hole in
the side of light-tight box, which Ia
arranged to contain a sensitive plate.
But the practicability of this method
of photography is amply proved by the
fine specimens that accompany an
article on the subject, by Juan G.
Abel, in the May Deflneator. One Of
the distinct advantages of pinhole
photography is the slight expense in
CURED in apparatus; any kind Of a
lighttight box will suffice, provided it
can be opened to insert the plate.
Explicit directions Tor procedure are
given in the article.

modern steel structure was going up,
and the housesmiths were riveting
beams with all the noise that goes
with their work. 1t was summer, and
that made matters worse.
my friend went to the contractor,
who was under a penalty and declined
70 stop work; he tried to reach the
owner, offering to make good any
loss, but the owner was away. he
went to the board of health and got no

the delegate of the union whose mem

"The delegate was impressed with
my friends arguments, and when the
time came for the men to resume work
after the noon hour strike was
ordered. Not hammer was lifted
against a rivet for three days. At
the end of that time, the men went
back to work as inexp licably as they

in the war with slavery found free
speech, free meeting, and personal
liberty endangered at home, so now
the attempt to conquer a brown race
generates a feeling which endangers
the liberties of our own colored citi-
zens. The connection is clear. 1t Is
openly avowed in the southern press.
Thus the Charleston Evening Post
says
1t is quite evident that the discrim-
ination against the dark races in the
Philippines which is enforced by the
government under the direction of the
republican policy 49,. must make
the sponsors tolerant of, If not actual
ly sympathetic with the discrimina-
ton which is practiced in the south
ern states and which is essential in
this section to the maintenance of a
high civilization. We should
not only go with but drive the repub-
licans along the road of race discrim-
ination in the Philippines. and before
they could turn about they would find
themselves shut within the confines or
the south's traditional and essential
race policy.
Our crime in the Philippines en-
dangers the fruit of our long contest
with slavery and every friend of free
dom must stand alike for the equai
| rights of the negroes in this country
and the independence of the Filipinos
J in Asia. In both cases liberty is in
danger and the peril comes from the
great republic whose honor should be
dearer to all her children than all the
wealth of the Indies.
We may be sure, however, that the
cause of right is not beaten. The time
will come and at no distant date when
this people will again believe with Lin.

years ago a mob of respectable Bos-

There are sixty-four cardinals.
One of these will be chosen Pope,
succeeding the late Leo Kill; the
successful candidate must receive a

cardinal will occupy a cell, for which
he draws lots. No communication

conditions affecting cotton and to-
bacco is as follows: "While there has
been an improvement in cotton its
advancement is apparently less de-
cided than in the previous week,
especially in the central portion of
the western districts where rain is
generally needed. Good growth is
reported from nearly all districts,
but the plant continues small and is
from two to four weeks late. Boil
weevils in Texas are doing little dam
age. Much of the crop has received
final cultivation. Tobacco is need
ing rain in portions of Virginia,
North Carolina and Kentucky but is
mostly doing well elsewhere"

most important of the industrial
stocks with those at which they were
first put upon the market-as given
in Professors Meade's volume on
Crust Finance" The average price
at which the stocks of these eighteen
trusts were first sold was $50 a share.
Last week the average price of these
anne stocks was $47 a share, showing
a loss of just one-quarter in aver
age value. At the price at which
the first investors or spectators
bought them, the stocks Of these
eighteen trusts were worth eleven
hundred million dollars. At the
price of which these stocks yer sold
last week they were worth a little
less than eight hundred millions
a net loss of over three hundred mil

first began Mr.. Morgan attributed it
to the mass of "undlgested securi-
