STRANGE CASE OF
LIFE AFTER DEATH

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. l0.-Phy-
sicians and scientists OF this city are
astounded at the remarkable case OF
Theodore p. Bailey. assistant gen
eral manager of the Philadelphia Of
fees of the General Electric Com
pany, who conyersed with his family
at first by word of mouth and then
by the deaf and dumb alphabet for
forty minutes after all indication of
heart beats and breathing had ceas-
ed, Just before he died in the private
hospital OF DR.. Joseph Price, at 2l1
North Eighteenth street, last Satur-
day.
According to the most careful ex-
animation made by the physicians
and nurses in charge, Mr.. Bailey
should have been dead" at 11:45
O'Clock. At that time there was not
the faintest sign OF pulsebeat, nor
of breathing. The eyes were glazed,
the lower limbs rigid.
And yet from the lips of the dead"
man came words of love and advice
to the wife and daughter at the bed
side until 1912, and afterward,
until 1926 o'clock, he talked" with
his fingers In the sign manual of
those who can not speak,
Asks for Final Kiss. rf
Near the end, when she thought
her father was really dead, little
Laura Bailey. the daughter, leaned
over the bed and kissed her father
on the forehead. There was not the
slightest change in the facial mus
| cles. But the fingers began twiteh-
| ing again, and slowly worked out
the message:
kiss me on the lips, dear"
This was the last word" Wheth-
err the mind remained active after
that or not, the relatives and the
doctors have no means OF knowing.
Certainly there was no later sign.
Two explanations OF the unusual
case are offered:
One, which the doctors are inclin-
ed to believe. is that physical life
existed until the last, but that the
pulsations of the heart were too
slight to be distinguished.
The other is that the mind resist
ed the effect of physical death until
long after the life had fled, and re-
manned acute and alive in spite OF
a physical dissolution.
Had Keen Mentality
Persons who believe In this theory
point out that Mr.. Bailey was a man
of the keenest mentality, always alert
and of extraordinary will power. 1t
is probable that the case will be made
the subject of several papers before
medical societies in the near future,
and that physicians and psychologists
will make a deep study of II.
Mr.. Bailey lived at 7404 Devon
avenue, Chestnut Hin. lie was born
in Princeton, H., and came east
when a young man. Successfully he

A wave OF humanity surged NJ
against the sidewalk crowding those
already on the walk into half the spac,
they previously occupied. Those who
had sat on the curbstone since two
in the morning found themselves
close to the wall. We struggled to
keep our footing. We gasped for
breath II our hands were up, we coulC
not get them down. If down we could
not get them up. One man said, Il
have a policemans whistle that might
help some, but ! can't get my hand to
my pocket" Waves OF motion started
at a distance swept over us, and we
bent as helplessly before them as
grain before the wind. Breathing was
difficult. All were suffering A few
grew frantic and tried to push for
room to breathe, but calm steady
voices would call out, Don't push!
Keep quiet" Very ordinary looking
men revealed their true nobility in

police unless they were fainting. Many
around me tainted and were passed
to the front where the red cross
nurses took charge of them in an
open space where the side street en-
tered the main street.
One of the motion waves carried
Cleveland far from me, but another
brought us together again. He had
shown splendid pluck in spite of be-
ing nearly buried by the big people
around him and burdened by heavy
clothing and a rubber rain coat which
drew the heat. Suddenly he said, Il
believe I've got to get out" looked
at him. His ashy face and lips told
the story. A burly man ordered. Pass
way, this little fellow is fainting. d"
In a minute or two, we were out of
, the crowd into the open space. What
luxury to be able TO take full
breath of fresh air Cleveland did
not quite lose consciousness and with
in ten minutes air and water had COM
pletely restored him. Part of the pro-
/ cession had gone by but now he was
in front-of the rows of soldiers and
within a few feet of the procession
and in time to see the gun carriage
and all the kings and queens and mill
tary commanders and Roosevelt.
At the head of the procession were
many regiments of soldiers, some Eng
fish, some from other countries. There
were three regiments from Germany.

Not so Cleveland. To see thirty-fiye

seem unjust to deny him, yet he

not equal to such an undertaking. so
| decided 20 risk the consequences of
standing in a crowd for six hours.
BY 4:l5 I'm the morning we were on
the street car. The conductor told as
that London had never before seen
such night, that thousands had
been pouring to the center
during the night. so that by
midnight the sidewalks we're lined
four deep in some places. This sound
ed discouraging, but at five o'clock
we found ourselves in good place In
the second row with some very short
people I'm front of us. Most OF the
people In front of us were sitting on
the curbstone. Many were sound a
sleep, having been there since two
and three o'clock. Now that we had
secured our favorable position, the
question was whether We could stand
until eleven O'Clock without fainting
away. -.
Some pleasant people soon Joined

time.
The street too was full OF interest
regiments of soldiers, and dignitaries
in full regalia fastened by to the
place where the procession was form
ing. People rushed up and down look
ing for a foothold on the sidewalk.
People in carriages and automobiles
pressed their way slowly through the
crowd TO reach the buildings where
they had engaged windows. Two beau
tiful horses fell on the slippery as
phalt pavement causing distress 10
people both inside and outside the
carriage. An ambulance with a corps
of red cross nurses took position near
us, Policemen took their places in
front of us, and mounted policemen
kept the crowd In the street moving
In a short time now these mounted
policemen would clear the street of
all vehicles and people. two rows of
soldiers would take their places in
front of the policemen on either side
of the street, thus guarding the pro-
cession from any kind Of attack or
disturbance. We felt safe and comfort
able and quite equal to the remaining
two hours Of waiting.
But all of sudden something hap
pened. In clearing the street, the
mounted police for few minutes lost
control OF the crowd. They plunged

and Wrecks-A Moonshine Raid
Three Distinguished Visitors.

HAIL STORM IN GARRARD:--
One of the worst hail storms ever
known in the state cut a swathe
about a mile wide thru a portion of
Garrard County last week. The stones
are said to have been as large as
hen eggs and much stock was injur-
ed and poultry killed. The wheat,
corn, tobacco and hemp crops in the
path of the storm are reported to be
almost totally destroyed.
CURTISS AT LOUISVILLE: =
Glenn II. Curtiss who recently made
himself rich and famous by flying
from New York to Albany is cutting
capers about Louisville this week with
his flying machine. An attempt is
being made to secure Curtiss for the
Blue Grass Fair. He would prove a
great attraction.
STILLS" CAPTURED: - A raid
made by government officials in
Owsley County this week resulted
IN the capture OF two distilleries,
one being very large. The officers
failed to locate the owners.
VICTORY FOR DRYS:-A local
option election in Hancock County
resulted in a great victory for the
temperance forces, the vets not carry
ing a single precinct in the county.
The election was called by the drys
and their majority was S35.
THREE GOVERNORS OUR
GUESTS:-Gov. Hadley of Missouri,
Gov. Sloan of Arizona and Gov
Ansel of South Carolina have been
the guests of Governor Wilson this
week.
The visiting Governors with Gov.
Wilson comprise the committee of
the conference of Governors appoint
ed to select the site for the next
annual meeting 1t is thought that
our own new capitol will be chosen
as the meeting place.
The first conference of Governors
was called by President Roosevelt and
the meetings have been held hither-
to at the White House 1t would be
a great honor if our own state Sc
cures the first meeting away from
Washington.
TRAIN LEAVES TRACK:-The

No 80 left the track, all but the
engine and rear coach early Monday
morning near Falmouth. No one was
killed but five men are reported seri-
ously hurt Three coaches were near
ly demolished and one turned upside
down. The derailed coaches lodged
against a bank II they had turned
the other way, they would have gone
over a precipice. High speed on a
curve is given as the cause.
PREACHERS FATAL FIGHT
1t is reported from Williamsburg
that Rev Robert Hanover was killed
in the Rock Creek Baptist church,
Whitley County by the Rev Isaac
Perry. The reports are conflicting as
to the cause Of the trouble II seems
however, that Vanover was up for
trial on his own appeal from the for
mer action of the church deposing
him, and during the trial the diff

London, England,
June s, 1910.

June - iSiV.
I,sar friends in Berea:
You have read in the papers about
the Kings funeral procession. but
you may enjoy seeing It through our
eyes.
For a week following the Kings
death. the slow moving city seemed
In rush and hubbub such as Chi
cago Is in all the time. And IL is no
wonder. for seven million people must
rut away spring colors and go into
monrning. Accordingly all stores must
take down from their windows the
beautiful colors and put black in
their places. Very gloomy and for
bidding these windows look, though
one OF these windows has been i'm
proved by the change-that of the mil
liner. Il somehow seems Inconsistent
TO make mourning hats grotesque
Consequently the monstrous shapes
which appeared in the bright spring
millinery have given way to more
moderate ones.
The daily papers told of the
arrival of noted people One day Il
was the queens sister from Russia.
another day her daughter with her
husband and little boy from Norway,
again Roosevelt. etc. etc. until all
the extra space in the city seemed
filled with kings and dukes and prin-
ces. One lady said she would be GO
relieved when all the kings got out
OF the city for she feared a dynamite
explosion every minute.
A few days after his death, the
kings body was taken from his pal
ace home to the great Westminster
Han, where for three days. all who
wished. could pass the coffin. People
passed in procession four abreast from
six in the morning till ten at night
each day Sometimes the procession
was seven miles long. On the day that
Edith and Cleveland went IL was
two miles long when they got there,
and they took a street car TO the
end OF the line. II took them -four
hours 10 get to Westminster Hall, and
they reached home tired enough.
We mad hoped all the time that
we would have 8 chance to see the
funeral PROCESSION as it passed from
Westminster Hall TO the railroad sta
ton. a distance Of three miles. Seats
were for rent all along the route in
windows and doors, on balconies and
the top of houses, but at prices rang
ing from five dollars 10 several hun
dred each. Many paid five dollars for
a very poor seat from which they
could barely get a squint at the pro-
cession. One man rented his windows
for enough to pay his house rent for
four years. Another man took out the
whole front OF his house and put rails
ed seats ON tho first floor.
Friends told us that prices of seats
would probably drop at the last as
they did at the coronation, and we
waited for the reduced rates. But
no drop came, so at the very last,
We gave up all hope of seeing the
procession, as II seemed out of the

Power by Change of Rules-Can-

Washington, ID. c.,

W dohAh6iOhi ~ ~
June Is, 1910.
Many things have been accomplish
ed here this week, and the Administra.
ton is getting ready to point with
pride" TO it's record for this Congress.
tho that record is pitifully less than
Pres Taft has so confidently been
promising.
The chief results of this weeks work
in the line of legislation have been
the final passing of the railroad
bill. and of the statehood bill, but
far more important for real good is
the changing of the rules of the
House.
For years one of the chief COM
plants of the rules has been that
when a bill had once been assigned Il
committee there was no way in
which the House could get it's hands
on 1t again II the committee did not
choose to give it up, it was as good
as dead. And this was one of the
chief powers of the Speaker, that he
not only appointed the committees,
but decided to which committee he
would refer any bill The result was
that when he wished any bill to be
forgotten he would send it to some
committee that had a good forgotten.
There were good many such in Con-
gress and some of them could keep
right on forgetting when the whole
country was bowling for action That
is what happened to the pure food
laws for fourteen years, and there
were other bills equally important
which have been buried" by request
OF some one and against the desires OF
the great majority.
Under the new rule there will be
no more Of that. IL will be possible
at certain times, for any member 10
rise and demand a vote of the whole
house on whether or not they will con-
slider a bill This will also have the
advantage of making it possible TO get
a recorded vote on some bills which
the people want, but which a majority
of representatives, for some reason
would be glad TO Kill if their consti-
tutents did not learn of it,
There is a serious danger, however,
and ii will not be time to shout very
much till we see how the new rule
works. While it is very desirable that
the majority should have more power
than the speaker, IL is necessary that
they should have more power than
the minority. When any set of
circumstances is such that the minor
ity can delay legislation, at the same
time making the majority take the
responsibility, you may be sure they
will do 1t. This new rule may. possib-
ly, offer an opportunity for the Demo-
Gratis to tie up Congress indefinitely.
They could move to have bills recall
ed from committees when the bills
we're of no importance and of no gem
eral interest, and by keeping this up,
they could prevent action on the
really important bills of the session.
For this reason the operation of this
rule has been limited to a part of one
day a week, on the ground that when
it can not be used much, 1t will Oe
used for important things only. We
shall see. There is no doubt that this
change takes away most of the
Speakers power-what he had left
and makes the House more indepen-
dent and untrammelled than ID has

CONGRESS SOON TO ADJOURN
The present session OF Congress will
probably come to close the last
of this week. The Republicans point
out that no other President has push
ed through more legislation in one
session than has Pres. Taft. He has
obtained tariff revision, conservation
endorsements, postal savings banks,
statehood and railroad measures.

PUTE:--It is agreed by the United
States and Mexico 10 settle the Cham
izel boundary dispute by arbitration.
This tract, once of very little value,
has suddenly become worth between
one and five million dollars because
IL adjolns the rapidly growing city
