NOT A WORD NOR OUT
OF BED IN 81 YEARS
Long Voluntary Silence Makes
Effort TO Speak to Devoted
Sister Vain.
STRANGE MANS LIFE ENDS
Physicians, Bafied by Eternal
Silence and Blank Smile, Never
Able to Determine
Sanity.
rBy Telegraph TO The tribune. !

Somerville, n. J.. July 12.-Silas Hoff-
man, the strange man of Bedminster,
who kept his bed while apparently in
perfect health and refused to speak for
thirty-one years, is dead
He passed away last night without
breaking the silence which he had pre-
served for so long a time but just be-
fore he died he made an effort to speak
to his devoted sister. Mrs. Margaret
Lane, who cared for him in his lonely
habitation throughout his eccentric
career. II was too late. however; the
years of silence had deprived him of the
power of articulation.
His funeral will be held on Thursday
from the house where he died. He was
sixty-seven years old Whether he was
insane was never determined although
he had been examined by a score of
physicians, with a view to ascertaining
his mental condition His eternal silence
and his blank smile baff1ed all alienists,
and physicians often said he could not
be declared insane. as his condition was
apparently normal
Hoffman was one 'of five sons of a
prosperous farmer of Bedminster Towns
ship The four others are living and are
prominent in the agricultural and busi-
ness life of Somerset County.
Hoffman spent his early life, like his
brothers, on his fathers farm. At the
age of thirty he possessed a farm and
was the owner of a spanking team of
gray horses, of which he was very
proud. He was fond of society, and was
known all around as a gay young man.
Misfortune overlook him. He lost his
farm and his pet team of horses had to
be sacrificed. Inconsolable. he went to
bed and turned his face to the wall. and
for long time refused either to speak
or eat. Food was left on table near
his bed, and when he was nearly starved
he arose one night from his bed and ate
and took stroll out of doors
He continued to arise each night there
after and eat and take a walk, until one
night he slipped on the ice and broke his
arm After that accident he never arose
from his bed or passed out of the door.
In all these years he was cared for like
an infant by his widowed sister, Mrs.
Margareta Lane, out of her scanty in
come and S3 a week which she received
for his maintenance from Bedminster
