ter yawning without interruption
for three days, in spite of every
effort to effect a cessation, Mrs.
William Henry Jenner is dead.
Physicians decided that the wo-
man was suffering from obscure
lesion of the brain, which pro-
duced spasms. Anaesthetics
were administered without re-
suits.
The woman, unable to sleep,
yawned until she could do so no
more from lack of strength. The
spasms continued, and finally
after seventy-six hours of suffer-
ing, she died.

MICE IN A HAT.
Woman's Hendgear Infested with the
Rodents and She Causes Panic
on a street Car.

Sergeant Brown, of the Fourth po-
lice precinct, was the only male pas
sengcr in q Clinton avenue trolley car
in Newark the other morning when the
dozen women in it were frightened by
n nest of mice which one of their num-
Der had unsuspectingly brought in.
At Bergen street the woman who
cnused the commotion boarded the car.
She took seat near Brown, in the
middle of the car. He noticed after a
few minutes that she was acting queer
". Her hat did not seem to fit. and
she shifted and twisted it until sud-
denly she tore it from her head, threw
II on the floor of the car and screamed.
When the other women in the car
looked at the hat they screamed too.
Nestled in the lining were three little
mice, squeaking III terror as the wom-
en- passengers scrambled up on the
cane seats and stood trembling.
The sergeant, fearing that some of
the women might try to leap from the
car, ordered the conductor to hold the
door closed. The sergeant killed the
tiny mice, and then offered the woman
her hat, but she refused to put it on.
and carried it at arms length until
she alighted from the car, a few blocks
farther on. Brown says she would not
give her name.
