Fear of Burial Alive.

of play and story. Probably
everyone has at some time or
other come across this weird
thought expressed in some form
of written or spoken narrative.
There are people, says the Bal
timore Herald, who shudder at
the very suggestion of such a
possibility, while others, notably
medical men and those who fan
cy the bizarre and the startling,
like to let the Imagination play
with the horrible details of such
a condition.
A gentleman in northeast Bal
timore told a curious story OF
this sort the other day. The
story was told him by his grand
father, who, he said, knew it to
be fact.
Years ago an old man living
in an out-of- the-way place in
the country got hold of a news.
paper which contained story
about man who died and was
buried in the usual way-that is,
lying in the coffin face up. Some
time afterward occasion de-
manded that the grave should
be opened. To the consterna.
ton and horror of all the body
was found face down and the
limbs in such a position as to in,
dictate that a terrible struggle to
be free had taken place. The
inference was, of course, thai
the man was not dead when put
into the ground, and that he re-
covered from an extreme state
of coma after the last rites had
been administered over the sup
posed corpse.
The story made a deep i'm
| preston upon the old man. III

the horrible thought it suggested
and his one great dread came t,
be that he might meet with ,
similar fate. He was afflicted

of his trouble was a tendency t,

affection strengthened his dread

And then he Mortified the youn,

when in time the physicians pro

The son had to promise, an,

she?" he asked, his glance stray
ing away from Nannette, whose
admiration of the ostriches had
quite won his heart.
How was he to know that her
admiration was of the cold cal
culating kind, and she was
looking for ostrich tips at cost
prices.
Namettee awoke from a men,
tai picture of how a long white
plume would look in her winter
hat, to agree with him.
The object of their attention
was Mile. Zylpho, sword swinger,
enticer of the lettering crowds
to the varied attractions of the
Midway. From early in the day
until the lights died out over the
magic city, voices high and shrill
shouted to the passers:
"Thees way, thees way, ladies
and gentlemen. Mademoiselle
Zylpho will now perform her
graceful and daring sword swing
er in the world-and all free.
We don't ask you a cent to see
Mademoiselle Zylpho, and it's
worth the entire fee we ask for
the marvellous exhibition in
side," and so on ad infntum.
AS the crowd gathered curl
ously Zylpho leaned against the
railing, her small face white and
unsmiling. She looked oddly
out of place. The white and
gold zouave jacket hung loosely
on an all to slender figure, and
the white cap perched SO jaunt-
lily on her we'll shaped head was
scarcely winter than the face be-
meath it.
But when her sword-swinging
act began Zylpho's whole appear
ance changed. Then she was the
admiration of the motley crowd
before her, her dark eyes flash
ing, red lips smiling, while her
little hands, swift and steady,
swung the long, flashing, keen
bladed sword in perfect rhythm,
and with an abadon of affected
carelessness that made the spec
tators hold their breath.
Her last engagement each day
was at the booth next tina ostrich

times accompanies strength, came

she was won't to be paler than
ever, her eyes were more often
unsmiling, and looked bigger and
more pathetic in consequence.

for the crowd to gather in suffi-
cient numbers.

Her eyes softened. "What
wouldn't?" she said bitterly.

Greatly, Zylph?" broke in the
booth manager sharply. 'Look
sharp here or the crowd will be
going"
Mademoiselle turned quickly
to her work. But not before she
caught the flash of anger in the
young farmers eyes. Her hand
trembled and the flashing sword
moved more slowly. She was
very much of woman, was
Mademoiselle Zylpho, and she
was very tired.
There was a sudden slip, soft
smotered cry, a surging forward
of the crowd. The sword had
lunged awkwardly in the swing

lips she gracefully recovered it
and waved it aloft. The crowd,
relieved, surged backward into

THE STREET CONTRACT.

The board Of aldermen must pass on
awarding the Contract for reconstruc-
ting Broadway before the contract is
signed. 1t is to be hoped that it will
consider well before acting, the matter
in its various phases, and not do some
thing that will result in unnecessary
inconvenience and expense to the pub
lie
1t seems from the best evidence at
our canmand that the recommendations
OF the board of public works to adopt
the bitulithie compound instead of
brick, deserved more consideration than
il received from the council last night
The merits Of brick as street material
cannot be denied, but that there is bet.
ter and more desirable material. cannot
be gainsaid. This is known by every
one familiar with the street problem.
The fact that so many cities now use
asphalt OF the ne~ bitulithic compound
almost exclusively. is sufficient evidence
that brick Is being discarded in great
many cities.
But even more significant is the fact
that the board of public works has
worked on and investigated for many
months the question of material, has
made trips TO other cities, and read re-
ports from many places, and ought to
be fully capable of making a recommen-
dation that deserved consideration, if
not concurrence. The council, which
last night turned down the board of
works Instrumentation, has never. in
yestigated the matter, and is at least
not as reliable an authority ON the sub
ject as the gentlemen whose reeommen-
dation, after months of CONSCIENTIOUS la
Dor, it repudiated.
But so much nor the material The
asphalt or bitulithic material would
cost only about $3.50 block more than
the brick. A question for the aldermen
10 decide is whether or not the adyant-
ages front using this asphalt or btu
lithie paving would justify this addi
tional eNaanse OF about $3.50 block
1T Is claimed that the more smooth, at
traetiYe appearance, the greater durabil
ity and the noiscless qualities of the as
phalt or bitulithie paving would more
than justify the additional expense.
The street is largely residence street
from Fifth to Ninth, and the elimina-
tion of noise would be a feature the i'm
portanee OF which is not to be ignored.
Another question for the board of
aldermen 20 decide Is, is the lowest bid
necessarily the best: Hasn't Padueab

had enough experience in reconstructing
streets with contractors not equipped
and qualified to do the work contracted
for. Which is better. to have the work
done by contractors or men who under.
stand the business, have the necessary
implements and employees to do IT, and
do the work in the quickest and best
possible manner, or TO let such public
work TO men who know nothing about
it, who do eXcavating and other work in
the slowest, cridest and most primitive
manner. and take their time TO the con
slant inconvenience of the public, be
cause they know that they are "home
men," and that the men in office will see
that they are allowed TO have their way
no matter at what cost to the public.
Il can be truthfully said that this is the
way the thing was done both ON Broad
way and under the recent contract, when
il required almost a year to build seven
blocks of street that street paving
could and would have built in
a few weeks.
The board of aldermen should consider
whether or not the people want to go
through the ordeal through which il
passed when these other contracts were
being executed.
All that is asked or expected of these
OF the people is that /

lone in a capable. workman-like manner

"LET THE COLONEL TALK"

The oCourier-Journal is making the

suggests in the following:
"Kindly roast Watterson." writes a
correspondent, "and oblige." He incloses
a clipping from a speech in which the
Kentucky editor called the president, in
his literary way, a pirate. This, is not
perhaps the most exact. courteous. or
effective way for the one Colonel to de-
scribe the other; but we must be lenient
in affairs of style. Some men can sug-
gest disepprohation only by superlative
naledietion. N,tH may nevertheless be
the kindliest OF men. The style Is TO
