MUTE GIRL RESUMES TALKING
Peculiar Case of Hysteria Brought on
by Overstudy at Summer
School.

st. Louis.-Irene Burnes, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. James G.. Burnes of
Hillyard, who for the last seven and
q half months has been confined att
the Sacred Heart hospital on account
Of most serious and peculiar case of
hysteria, which baf1ed local physt4
clans for several months on account OF
her refusal to talk, is improving.
In about a month she will be able
to leave the hospital, at which time
she will be taken for visit to Lewis
ton, Ill.
Miss Burnes was at her home for q
few hours recently, the first time since
October 2, when she was taken to the
hospital. Although she has not entire4
ly recovered her power of speech, she
will at times, especially in the morn1
ings when rested, talk for little
while. She understands all said to-
her, but under no condition can She
talk unless she be thoroughly rested. !
Miss Bailey, her nurse, takes her for
a walk each day. Miss Burnes since
March has been under the care of Dr.
w. T. PLY.
The illness was brought on last
summer as the result of overstudy at
a summer school and following the
excitement of the final examination.

NEW YORK'S OLD HOTELS

a tavern of renown in its day and
was in turn called the New York, the
City Arms and Burns Coffee house or
tavern. Politicians gave it substan.
tial portion of it's patronage up to the
time it was torn down in 1850.
The tap room of Clinton hall, on
Beekman street, at the corner of Mas
sua, was a popular rendezvous for men
about town in the middle '4Os. The
place was known for the excellence of
it's ale, brewed with the famous Bur
ton water and imported by John Sim
mons, the landlord.
Simmons was an uncle of the IA
nous Leland brothers, whom he
brought up in the hotel business.
There were five of the brothers, among
whom was Warren, who kept the Met
ropolitan and later took the Windsor,
which he was running at the time it
was burned. Another brother built
and conducted the Leland house in
Chicago, a second operated at Spring
field, ILL.,, and third operated a ia
nous hotel in San Francisco.
Still standing at the corner of
Broadway and Spring street is a por-
ton of the old Prescott hotel. Near by
was the old st. Nicholas hotel. Here
Andrew Carnegie and his mother
stayed when the ironmaster first came
to New York from Pittsburg in the
early days of his career.

and in establishing fishes in new wa
tiers. There is scarcely community
in the entire country that has not
profited by these operations of our
government.
These direct efforts have been sup
plemented by most valuable service in
saving the lives of fishes that are
stranded every year when the Missis-
sippi river and it's tributaries go on
the rampage. When the waters sub
side the cry of Rescue the perishing!
goes up in behalf of millions of the
best food fishes of the interior waters,
and the cry it responded to by the
seine out the temporary ponds and
pools left in ohen places by the re-
ceding floods and restore the fishes to
the main streams.
"One important point in increasing
the fish food supply is the encourage
ment of the utilization Of many kinds
of good fish which are now neglected.
Our fastidious tastes and the abun-
dance of our water products have
caused US to discard many excellent
resources which other nations have
utilizing for many centuries. A recent
inquiry by me has shown that each
years over 100000 pounds of sim
gle fish now caught in our east coast
fisheries are thrown away, not single
pound being sold or consumed. Yet
this is one oil the best favored fishes
in our waters, and last fall l saw it
being sold in Hamburg at several times
the price commanded sby mackerel.
Dozens of other fishes which Euro
peans eat are regarded by use as be-
meath notice. / may mention in this
connection the very abundant and
widely distributed sea mussels, which
are extensively eaten in all the coast
wise countries of Europe, while we for
years have entirely ignored these
wholesome shellfish and have only re-
Gently begun to recognize their value.
"Our people were once even more
wasteful of food fishes than they are
today / remember to have seen as a
boy the shores Of the Potomac river
below Mount Vernon piled with the
remains of sturgeon, whose meat is
now relished, but which the fisher
man at that time threw away. Some
Of the fishes weighed as much as $50
pounds, and one of that size caught
today, now that the sturgeon is almost
extinct in our coastal river, would
give a fisherman a fair income for al
most an entire season. The time will
come when we shall be using and es-

We are not content to leave mllcn
TO Nature nowadays. II we were, per
haps we would get along better taan
we do and with fewer worries to make
us grow old before our time, says the
Charleston News and Courier. Phlla-
delphia just at present is being held
up before the eyes of the country as
horrible example. Some industrious
statistician, seeking light or perhaps
seeking coin, has undertaken to ascer-
tain the effects of social activity IN
that city upon those who take part
in it. He has discovered that the
season which is just now drawing to
close has very nearly sent some OF
the society leaders to their graves.
He has unearthed the fact that of the
women who have been in the main
responsible for what is declared to
be the most strenuous social season
in the history of the city of Quakers
several are now in a state of utter
CollapSe as ulreCC result ol cho
strain to which they have been sub
jected. This is interesting, but why
get alarmed? Social leaders of this
sort can very we'll be spared. If they
are taken away from us they never
will be missed. Why not let Nature
have her way and inflict what punish
ment she deems fit on those who have
not intelligence enough to take care
of themselves?

Taken From Skull of Palmist, It In
terferes With Messages From
other World.

Boston, Mass-Spirit messages and
the story of a search for the missing
brain of John w. Fletcher, a palmist
noted in London, New York and Bos-
ton, who died under mysterious cir
cumstances in the Hotel Pelham in
this city on April %, will be features
of a contest over the will of Mr.
Fletcher, begun in the Middlesex coun-
ty court at Cambridge.
Mr.. Fletcher died after the police
had gone to his apartments to arrest
him on a serious charge, which recent
developments seem to show was un-
warranted, and when questions were
asked at police headquarters and by
the medical examiner, DR.. George b
Magrath, the policemen who sought
the palmist declared he had swal-
lowed a pellet, which they believed
contained poison and dropped on the
floor unconscious.
Dr. Magrath performed an autopsy
and was unable to find any trace OF
poison, so he sent the internal organs
to an expert for chemical analysis.
Meanwhile Miss Susie G. Clark of
Cambridge, an author identified with
various organizations for psychic re-
search, declares that spirit messages
have been received from Mr.. Fletcher
in which he assures his friends that
he did not commit suicide and that
he is working hard in the world be-
yond to vindicate himself of the accu-
sations made by the police.
Other spiritualists have told law
yers interested in the settlement OF
the estate that they have had mes
sages from Mr.. Fletcher telling them
that his brain was stolen after his
death and begging them to find it so
that he can tell them fully everything
that has happened since he went to
the great beyond.
"The spiritualists, when they told
me about the message, did not know
that the brain had been removed,
said one of the lawyers, land so far
have not told them that learned from

FISH FOOD SUPPLY
Fisheries Bureau Has New
Commissioners.
His Appointment Was in Nature of d
Promotion, as He Had Served Sew
eral Years in Subordinate
Positions in Department.


Washington.-Tha the United States
bureau of fisheries, even with the
many limitations imposed by law on
it's activities, nevertheless is in a po-
sition to contribute materially to the
increase of the nations food supply
and to give valuable assistance in the
solution of the cost-of-living problem is
the opinion of DR.. Hugh M Smith, the
new commissioner, who in recent days
has been confirmed for the important
Office given him by President Wilson.
DIR. Smiths appointment was in the
nature of promotion, and during the
years in which he has served in sub
ordinate positions in the bureau of
which he is now the head he has be-
come an authority on the work which
the government is doing to increase
the fish food supply of the United
States.

sources, our activities are both direct
and Indirect" said Commissioner
Smith in explaining the interest of his
bureau in the cost-of-living problem.
"By it's very extensive fish cultural
operations in all parts of the country
the bureau each year is bringing into
existence and starting on their career
hundreds of millions of food fishes
that, without the governments work,
would never have gotten beyong the
egg state. Overwhelming evidence is
available to show the value of this
work in maintaining the fish supply of

ed waters, in stocking artificial ponds

Floating factories have become ali
important part of the development OF
the forest resources of India. In GER
tain parts of that country the forests
are only accessible through the water
courses, and the great expense OF
erecting the plants for the utilization
of the lumber resources makes such
a course impracticable. Therefore,
sawmills and other manufacturing
establishments are built on floating
platforms and moved up the streams
as they are needed. After the lumber
is prepared in a sawmill it can be
packed in a way that makes transport
tation much more economical than
any system of logging. Plants for
the preparation of tannin extracts
have also been established IL this
manner. The plants are built on fiat
boats, 200 feet long by q feet wide,
capable of carrying load of 470 tons.

must be exactly on the same footing
as any other litigant, and has to put
up bond like any other, which was

the insurance on the life of rich

the bond was concerned, that was
prudent as well as patriotic.
