Leader Murphy to abandon Dix and put
forth a gubernatorial candidate whose
qualifications will compare favorably
with those of Mr.. Straus, Tammany's
answer to this plea at present is that
10 repudiate Dix would be equivalent to
repudiation OF Tammany's entire pro-

that the organization cannot afford TO

A remarkable case OF lethargy IL -
ported from one OF the towns in South
Russia. A certain Moisselyinko was
put on his trial in March OF last year
on the charge Of having committed an
armed robbery. but in the midst Of the
proceedings he dropped to the floor In
what was supposed at the time to be a
fainting fit. but which afterward
proved a lethargic sleep.
In this condition the prisoner has
lain TIL March s Of the present year.
He has evidently been all the time in
complete possession of his wits. but
was unable to move a limb. open his
eyes or take food. When his eyelids
we're raised the pupils could be seen.
and he was all the time fed by arti.
fetal means.
During his sleep he has lost some
weight. but he has kept throughout
the external appearance Of Q man In
normal and healthy sleep.
