A PUZZLE.
Daughter Is Dead and
Mother May Not Live.
Most Remarkable Case in q
n. Y. Hospital.
Found Unconscious IS Days Ago
Some Scientific Explanations.

New York. March 24--One Of the
most remarkable cases in the experi.
ehce OF the doctors Of the Presbyterian
hospital i'll this city ended Friday in
the death of Miss Lucia Huestis of MI
Vernon, Who with her mother. Mrs.
Rcames Huestis. had been in a trance
for 10 days prior to har ceath.
More than two weeks ago, both of the
home Of Henry w. Seller. lawyer. of
this city. and were supposed to have
been asphyxiated by gas. Neither had
since recovered consciousness and phN =
sicians and hypnotists were puzzled by
their unaccOuntable coma.
Miss HueStiS was an attractive youn =
woman, aged % years. Lack of nour-
ishment was the principal cause Of her
death as il had been impossible to give
her food except in liquid form and
through tube. When she began to
show signs Of failing vitality. stimu-
iants and oxygen were administered
but she died with very slight change in
her appearance.
singular fact is that the young
woman's mother, who lay in an adojin-
ing room, began to show signs of the
approach of death. soon after the death
OF her daughter. Like her daughter the
mother also is greatly o4.naciated but
physicians ut the hospital say that hc.'
low vitality is due principally to star
walton. Although she weighed 200
pounds when brought to the hospital
she weighed only 100 pounds Friday
Until Thursday it had been expected
that both women would eventually be
reused from their coma
Superintendent Fisher Of the Pres
byterian hospital said that it was the
most remarkable case he had treated
I'VE are at a loss to account for it."
he said. THE case OF the mother anh
daughter has attracted the attention of
men of science all over the country but
no theory that has been advanced has
been OF any service to US"
One specialist in hypMOtism and psy-
chology. who investigated the case had
made public his conclusion that the two
women had unconsciously hypnOtized
each other ana that gas asphyxiation
had nothing to do with the case He ex-
planned that he had himself been hyp-
Noticed while hypnotiZing a patent and
had only been awakened by the arous-
ing of the subject. Only in that manner
did he expect either of the two women
to revive. In the event of the death of
one OF the women he expected that tn"
other would either be released from the
trance or would die soon after.

.DuN'S REPORT
Shows Bright Outlook
for the Spring Trade.
South Remains Conservative
Section Of Country.
Increase In Both Canada and the
United States.

New York. March pr. G. Dun 4.
Cos. Review of Trade, tomorrow will
say:
Spring trade responds to seasonablc
weather. and shipments of merchandise
have increased so rapidly that railway
facilities are severely taxed. At many
points there is complaint of car and
motive power shortage, and navigation
on lakes and rivers at the north has
not opened as promptly as business de-
mands.
Textile fabrics on the whole are in
slightly better position. The predomI-
mating influence as to cotton goods is
the scarcity of many lines and the
prospect that this condition will become
aggravated as the season progresses
Buyers find it increasingly difficulty TO
secure satisfactory deliveries and note
the growing independence with which
sellers view the situation. Although
realizing the possibilities of delay pur-
chasers continue to operate conserva-
tivelys Were it not for the fact thai
spring trade with the retailer opened
very slowly. it is proDa BILE that pobbers
would be less inclined to limit purchas-
IS to immediate requirements. Apathy
early in the season is tending to make
subsequent business more satisfactory.
March showing a decided improvement
over February. and still better things
being expected of April. The south con-
tinues to be the most conservative sec
ton IF the country although evidences
Of improvement have been visible OF
late. Export trade has dwindied to in
quirieS which can seldom be met and
this buying for China is believed to be
over the present.
Strength is seen in the hide market
especially for native steers of midmin-
ter sailing and sole leather branded
hides are in limited supply. Heavy pur-
chaseS direct from butchers have
hardened the tone of country hides, and
receipts of foreign skins are promptly
absorbed at full figures. Leather is
quiet, tanners holding for better prices
than most manufacturers of footwear
are willing to pay. A little improvement
is noted at Boston and in the west but
the local market is dull. Statesmen of
New England footwear manufacturers
VINO are in the west nave secured lib
cral initial fall ORDERS business on the
whole comparing favcrably with any
preceding week this year. Spring ship :
ments are large. but few duplicate or
ders are being placed and work on this
division will soon be concluded. so that
cutting will commence on fall shoes
about the middle of next month.
Failures this week numbered 255 ir
the United States against, 226 last year
and 16 in Canada compared with Is a
