SUSPENDED ANIMATION.
Young Woman Declared Dead
May Be Alive.
SHE REPOSES TN CASKET,
There Is Nothing About Countenance
to Indicate Life Being Extinct, the
Skin Being Soft and Pliable and the
Complexion Beautiful.

Rome, Feb. 28.-The people Of San
Reno are anxiously watching around
the casket of young woman, who, al,
though she has been pronounced dead,
they believe to be suffering simply
from the effects of suspended ANNA
ton. The body Is that of a young
Russian, victim of consumption, and
1t lies in a casket in one of the vaults
of a church at San Reno. Ten days
after the woman was said to die rela-
tives from Russia arrived at San Reno
and when the lid of the casket was
lifted there was nothing about the face
or body to indicate death. The skin
was soft and pliable and there was a
glow of pink in the cheeks. The lips
also held their original color and the
wide-open eyes, although in a fixed
stare, had not the CLASSY effect OF
those of a dead person.

the dissolution of the oil trust. Further
than this, the decision means that the
