Viscomte Jacques de Gruart laid a

"San Francisco Weeping at the Gold

monument to be erected by the coast
city in Golden Gate park as a re-
minder of the great disaster.
The symbolic figure is that Of a
young girl just blooming into the full
beauty Of her womanhood, says the
New York World Weeping, she leans
in the lassitude of despair against n
closed Gothic door.

The sculptor is Kuhne Beveridge,
and for her model Of San Francisco

thorIties that ninety-six hours is the
greatest length of time the human
mind can endure without slumber.
Not since 1894 has Mr.. Herpin en-
ioyed even ''forty winks." Small
wonder, then, that he is attracting the
attention of physicians all over the
world. Every doctor in Trenton has
examined him and labored in vain to
ascertain the cause of his remarkable
affection. Noted medical men OF Phil
adelphia have had Mr.. Herpin under
their care for months at a time with
out successful result. Every hospital
in New Jersey and Pennsylvania has
been visited by this sleepless wonder
in the vain hope of discovering some
thing which would induce unconscious
ness, if only for few hours.
London physicians being notified OF
this wonderful case by their American
brothers in the profession have sent
suggestion after suggestion as to the
best methods of treating it. All have
been faithfully tried, but to no avail.
For nearly twenty years Mr.. Herpin
has been troubled with insomnia.
When he was quite a young man he
devoted all his leisure time to the
study of music and was in great de-
mand at entertainments, bazaars,
lodge meetings and social gatherings.
This popularity caused him to keen
very late hours, and, being somewhat
excited when he did retire, he found
that as a rule he was unable to sleep.

"A MAN WHO HAS NOT SLEPT
4 WINK Nv OVER TEN YEARS

Physicians advised him to give up his
music and retire early.
For one year Mr.. Herpin adopted
this plan with fair results; then boy
was born to him, and again he spent
the nights with brain alert. When the
boy was sixteen the mother died, and
since then Mr.. Herpin has not known
what it is to close his eyes in slum-
Der.
Strange as it may seem, Mr.. Her
pin has steadily gained flesh in the
last ten years. He now weighs one
hundred and eighty-fve pounds, and
he declares that he suffers no ill-etfect
from his inability to sleep.
Mr.. Herpin's working hours are
from twelve to fourteen day, and he
has never lost an hour through ILL
ness. When he returns to his home
after days hard work he is as nor
mally tired as any other man who has
spent the day in hard labor. Usually
he retires at about ten O'Clock, and
for about five hours he rests.
Although his brain is active during
the hours the world sleeps Mr.. Herpin
declares that the recumbent position
which he assumes rests him to the
same extent that nights sleep does
TO any other man. He rises at about
4 a. M, perfectly refreshed and feel
ing ready for hard days work.
He has for fifteen years discharged
his duties cheerfully and satisfacto-
rily. Although physicians declare
that his nervous system is shattered
Mr.. Rerpin, with somewhat peculiar
look around the eyes, does not show
any effects of his night watches.
That he is jolly and good natured
is shown by his great popularity
Enjoying a comfortable home, being
ready for three square meals day
and endowed with a substantial |
amount of this worlds goods, Mr.. |
Herpin, who is forty years of age, de-
clares that he has not care in the
world.-Strand Magazine.

JAWS LOCKED FORTY DAYS.
Boy Was Cured of Lockjaw After a
Long Fight.
Thank God"

Thank God"
These words were never more fer
vently or reverently spoken than when
they fell from the lips of Harry Tow
ers in the city hospital of Chicago.
Snice July Is his lips have been sealed.
Not a sound except a moan had come
through his tightly closed teeth as he
was silently but strenuously fighting
for his life. His recovery was sig
nal triumph for his attending ply
sicians, although the victory over
death cost the hospital over $500 for
medicine alone, without counting his
maintenance for the time he has been
in the institution.
Towers, who is 10 years old, was one
of the million patriotic celebrants of
the last glorious Fourth. To observe
the day fittingly he borrowed a re-
volver from a friend and loaded it with
blank cartridges. After two hours of
promiscuous firing he succeeded in
wounding himself in the left thumb,
The wound was apparently trifiing,
and not until July 13 did he feel any
great pain Then he went to physi-
clan in the neighborhood who, after
treating him for two days, sent him to
the hospital.
The unmistakable symptoms OF lock
jaw were present-jaws tightly closed
and the cords of the neck tightly
drawn. Rigorous measures, such as
had never been employed but once in
the history of the institution, were
used. Four years ago, when an cpl
demic of lockjaw prevailed after a
Fourth of July celebration, graduated
doses of tetanus anti-toXin had been
given without result. Wise by this
experience, the physicians determined
upon heroic doses, and Towers re-
ceived ten injections a day, which
meant a daily outlay Of $33. This dos
age was kept up until August 1, when
it was gradually diminished until the
jaws unlocked and speech returned
Carefully computed, it is found that
Towers, during the time of treatment,
received $500 cubic centimetres, or six
and one-half quarts of the toxin, at an
outlay approximately of $500.

OVER HIS DEAD WIFE.
THOMAS w. LAWSON BROODS IN
HIS QUAINT BOSTON COTTAGE.
HIS WATCH is CEASELESS
Day and Night He Spends His Whole
Time Beside the Casket. Vigil
Has Told on Him.

That Thomas w. Lawson, says a
Boston dispatch, is in a state Of physi-
cal collapse in consequence of his
wife's recent death. supported by de-
tail statements of the extravaganza
forms in which his grief has been
manifested and given versimilitude
by his prolonged absence from his Of
fee and abstention from all business,
is the story that has been quantity
whispered about State street during
the last two weeks, and has gained
wide credence.
Mr. Lawson was expected to return
to business Monday, but those close
to him say it will be a month. He is
now at his Dreamwold estate, where he
has remained in seclusion since the
death of Mrs. Lawson on August 5.
It appears that since the funeral
ervices the body of Mrs. Lawson,
encased in a steel casket, has remain
ed in the quaint little cottage on the
estate which she herself several years
ago named the Nest. At this cottage
Mr.. Lawson spends his whole time,
day and night, brooding over the be-
reavement Shortly after the funeral
he had lounge placed near the bur
ial casket.
MIR. Lawson began his ceaseless
vigil after the funeral, and ever since
he has spent the greater part OF each
day and the night as we'll beside the
casket containing the remains of his
wife. For few hours he has stretch
ed himself upon the lounge, but sleep
has seldom come to him, and after
few weary hours he has been seen by
the servants of the estate to leave the
cottage and wander aimlessly about
the place oblivious to his surround
ings. The prolonged vigil has told
upon him.

peated the dealer when questioned

York Sun. Eyes, a good many. The
fashion has not taken such hold upon
the women here as was expected, but a
few New York women who wish to be
thought strictly up to date are begin
ming to adopt it. The cane habit is
generally considered a British importa-
ton.
81 don't believe that it originated in
vanity or a desire for notoriety. To my
mind it is the outcome of a principle of
human nature. 1t is impossible to ex-
perience a more distressing, one sided
feeling than to go along the street with
nothing In the hands.
There are many times when one
doesn't want to carry an umbrella. the
folly of carrying pocketbook in the
hand on all occasions has frequently
been pointed out, a newspaper becomes
soiled and shabby, while neither let
ter nor a handkerchief gives a feeling
of security as though properly bal
anced And right there the utility of
the cane becomes apparent for what
else is so appropriate"

BEES AT 5000 EACH.
Woman Apiarist lnsures Queens
from Italy.

from Italy.
Two score Italian queen bees, val
ued at from $50 to 5000 each, arrived
on Saturday on the steamship st.
Paul. They are the property of Mrs.
r. c. Riggs, of Arkansas City, Kan,
who herself accompanied them.
Salerno, Italy, it seems, is headquar-
ters for the finest variety of Italian
queen, and thither Mrs Riggs went for
the express purpose of buying num-
Der of these valuable little insects.
THE Italian queen" said Mrs.
Riggs, in speaking of her purchase, lis
much larger than the ordinary bee,
and is of beautiful light gold color.
1t is worth literally dozens of times
its own weight in gold, because of its
marvellous productivity. No other bee
can compare with it in this respect"
Of course, having valuable lot OF
merchandise in her possession - her
new bees are valued at $1,S00-Mrs.
Riggs wanted to have them insured.
The average person wouldn't know
where to go or what to do to get a
swarm of bees insured, but Mrs. Riggs
did. An Italian company assumed the
risk for the tiny creatures on their
voyage to America, so that her only
danger lay in the journey between
New York and Arkansas City.

fire department, says the New York

rested by a detective, who was stand
ing close by. He could not explain
and it was just as hard to make him
understand that he had caused so
much trouble.
Because of the fact that the sending
in of the false alarms Is a common oc-
currence at that point by persons who
declare they do not know what the
box is there for, Chief Allen Of the fire
department will prefer charges against
the man for malicious mischief as
warning to others.
