ASLEEP FOR SIX WEEKS.
Remarkable Subject Is Under Eye
of Doctors in Paterson Hospital.

Paterson. y. J., oct 23.-Sunering from
a malady that physicians say sometimes
affects men who work in mines, which
resembles African sleeping sickness,
Joseph Koeijus has been in a comatose
state in St. Joseph's Hospital for the last
six weeks, and thus far has utterly failed
TO respond to treatment.
Koeijus came to the hospital from Ok
ford Furnace, where he had been en-
ployed in the mines, six weeks ago. He
was in a weak condition, but was able
TO walk
After he had been two days in the hos
pital he fell into a deep sleep from which
he could not be aroused. Up TO two weeks
ago he swallowed the liquid food given
him, but since then nourishment has been
injected through a tube. Several times
his eyes have opened, but he appeared TO
be entirely unconscious of what was 60
ing on around him.
His body the last few days has become
rigid from the hips up, but regular
breathing can be detected. Electric bat
teries have been applied to arouse him.
but so far all efforts 10 awake him have
been futile.
Koeijus is a foreigner and speaks hard
" any English. Before he sank into his
present state the physicians were able to
get little information from him as TO
when he was stricken.

Mr. Tharin made emphatic statements
of his opinion in regard 10 action taken
by the Commissioners in the closing up
Of the wells and pumps, in various sec
