STRANGE LAPSE OF MEMORY
Spokane Man Forgets His Identity and Wanders About Country for Four Months.

Spokane, Wash.-Max Passler of No. $50 North Toledo avenue, a pros porous, high-salaried electrical me- chanic. has had the strangest case of lapse of memory ever known in Spo- kane.
 On April 10 Passler, steadily em- ployed here for more than two years. owning his own home and with a wife and two children, suddenly dropped out of sight. The police were unable to find any trace of him ard his wife feared he had been held up and thrown into the river.
 He reappeared at his home a few days ago, accompanied by a friend, who met him wandering up and down Montgomery avenue, near his own home. Passler rememberes little of the four months during which he was missing. He recalls that on April 10 he went to physicians office because of headache. He remembers noth- ing else except working long hours on farm, tending cattle and pitching hay. This Is attested to by his sun burned face and his calloused hands One other detail stands out He was washing his shirt one day on the farm and woman passing said, You should have wife to do that for you. That started feeble memory. He be- gan to imagine that he had a wife. but could not remember his own name ol her face
 The next thing he remembers is be- ing in Standpoint Idaho, and then ali is forgotten until he found himself wandering around the streets here and was recalled to consciousness of his own identity by seeing a Mont. gomery avenue sign on a telegraph pole
 J. J. White, neighbor, founc Pass Ter standing staring at the street sign and took him to his waiting wife, Hho long before had given up hope of ever seeing him again. Passler had appar ently recovered all his faculties aD| is none the worse for his experienS

Perry-Heaton of St. Luke's hospital, for the ap- pointment of committee in this state to take charge of the property of Frederick A. s. Perry, a life convict in the Connecticut state prison at Wethersf1eld. He was sent there in 1888 for murder in the second degree. Through the death recently of two brothers in hospital for the insane at Brattleboro, Vt, the life convict in- herited some s73,600.
 Dr. Heaton, who is a granu-nephew of the convict, said that the convict had been insane for the last 20 years. He said that committee should be appointed in this state to take care of Perry's property.
 Perry was convicted of killing E. C. Whittlesey of New London, editor oi the New London Day. The murder was committed on August 8, 1887. and 1t was provoked by an article in the Day under the caption. Fred Perry a Crank on Dogs"
 Prior to the murder Perry had been confined for time in the asylum for the insane at Middletown. N r., and at his trial his mother testified that she had two.other sons in asylums.
 
 Dr. Heaton's application. because the code requirements had not been com piled with. He said that the petition failed to disclose whether or not the convict has wife or children, ana fails to show what conveyances, If any he has made.

BAkERV|LLE WILL BE TEMPORARY
 QUARTERS

The first official announcement re- garding temporary quarters or the Copper Queen hospital during the time that institution is being moved to it's new site in Lowell, was made yesterday by Dr. Shine. The Baker. vile hotel at Bakerville. was desig. mated as the place. This building formerly used by the shattuck and Denn people as hospital.
 The moving of patients will be started about November 7th. and it is expected that the building will be used as a. hospital for at least three months, possibly longer.
 J. c. Ryan, superintendent of bridges and buildings on the E. P & s. w, was recently in the city foE the purpose of looking over the hos pitai and laying plans for moving it. According to his statement, the build win be divided into at least five Sec tions, placed on cars, moved to Lowell upon the E. P. & s. W. line Double tracking of the line between the hos pital site and the Lowell ice plant nas begun and the track laying will bC completed very shorty. This track is only temporary and will be removed immediately after the hospital moving is completed.
 Altogether the use of the hotel will necessitate a great deal of trouble the ambulance having to be used con stantly, the arrangement is the best which could be made. Preparation ot the hotel for occupying will begin shortly.

lndIan Landmarks In ohIo Woods.

indian Landmarks in Ohio Woods.
 In the vicinity of Defiance. O.. can be found trees that many would think freaks of nature. Such they are, but they are created by the hand of man.
 According to the stories of some of the old timers, these trees are much older than the present generation has any idea of, and at one time served as Indian guide posts. It Is said that in the early days. when the Maumee valley was one vast woods, the h. dians bent these saplings to indicate certain paths. The trees, because of their deformity, grew slowly, and al- though they are many years old. never attained the size of their brethren in the forests. Similar trees exist near Fort Wayne.

For Serving Corn.

A new addition to table service is known as the green corn server.
 It is an individual dish for corn.
 It is low, long dish. just large enough for single ear of corn.
 It is shaped like miniature horse trough and set on low ball feet.
 With it go a pair of silver holders. by which the corn is carried to the mouth.
 The holders look like daggers and are stuck through the ends of the ear.
 A set of these should make a most acceptable wedding present, particu- larly while they are so new.
