Girl Dancer Ends a Seven Week's
Trance.
After lying nearly seven week’s in a
trance, caused hy excessive indulgence in
dancing, Pauline Fitzgerald, of New Ha-
ven, Conn., awoke on Wednesday and ask-
ed for food.
‘‘T have had such a nice dream’’ she said.
“‘I thought I was waltzing for hours and
hours. I never seemed to tire. But now
that I am awake I feel tired and hungry.”
During theseven weeks of her trance,
while all efforts to awaken her by rough
physical usage, hypnotism and the playing
of dance music near her cot were unavail-
ing. Miss Fitzgerald’s fast was almost
absolute. Only small quantities of liquid
nourishment could be administered.
When her deep sleep overtook her the
girl had a record of eighty-seven dances.
From the last she returned to her home in
apparent health, but on the following
morning nothing could disturb her slum-
bers. She was taken to the Springside
Home, where Yale specialists in neurotic
diseases made a study of her case.
Electricity had no effect on her. Waltzes
and two-steps played upon the piano caus-
ed her tr move slightly, but that was all.
When she finally awoke she was so weak
that her physicians would allow her to
talk but little. To a reporter she said :
“‘I can’t realize that I have been asleep
over six weeks. It seems only like a long
night. I have no recollection of my dreams
except that I seemed to be always whirling
to the sound of music, pleasantly and with-
out fatigue.”
After taking liquid food and stimulant
the girl again fell asleep. Her attendants
were able to awaken her without trouble
the next day.
——At a public dinner given to Gen.
Harrison, when he was a candidate for
President of the United States, one of his
guests, rather conspicuously ‘‘Grank to his
health.”’
The general pledged his toast by drink-
ing water. Another gentleman offered a
toast and said : ‘General, will you favor
me by drinking a glass of wine ?”’
The general begged to be excused. He
was again urged to join in a glass of wine.
This was too much. He rose from his seat
and said :
‘Gentleman, I have twice refused to par-
take of the wine cup. I hope that will be
sufficient. Though you press the matter
ever so much, not a drop shall pass my
lips. I made a resolve when TI started in
life that I would avoid strong drink. That
vow I have never broken. Iam one of a
class of seventeen young men who gradu-
ated at college together. The other sixteen
members of my class now fill drunkard’s
graves, and all from the pernicious habit
of wine drinking. I owe all my health,
my happiness and prosperity to that reso-
lution. Would you urge me to drink it
now ?’’—Occident.
A Pair of Rubbers.
Mis. Hyspy—That woman next door is a
nosey old thing. She’s always standing
in her dining room peeping into our win-
dows.
Mr. Hyspy—How do you know, dear?
Mrs. Hyspy—Goodness! Don’t you
suppose I can see her every time I look in
there ?
Toothpick Caused Death.
Peter McCue, a street paver, went to
Bellevue hospital, N. Y., Saturday com-
plaining of pains in hisabdomen. He died
four days later, under treatment for peri-
tonitis. Prof. A. Hunter McAlphin made
an autopsy on the body and found that a
toothpick had penetrated one of the larger
intestines. Two months ago he had swal-
lowed a toothpick.
Suffering Puerto Rico.
Dispatches from Puerto Rico show
that the condition of the island which
welcomed our troops so enthusiastical-
ly is most deplorable. “There is no
money to plant crops or to pay labor-
ers, thousands of whom are on the
point of starvation. The local press
expresses the opinion that the condi-
tions were better during the darkest
days of the Spanish regime.”
Imagine that, and try to put yoar-
self in the place of the American citi-
zen who is willing to have that shame
remain upon the American flag be-
cause he thinks that if the starving
Puerto Ricans were allowed to sell
their products freely in our markets, as
the president has recommended, his
profits might be diminished by their
competition.
_ Suppose that when we were expand-
ing so blithly in August, 1898—when
the Puerto Ricans were scattering flow-
ers before our invading soldiers and
shouting “Vivan los Americanos’”—
some cynical, unpatriotic, small Amer-
ican had said: ‘“What fools! These
people have seen their best days. Spain
has been their true benefactor. Spain
has made them prosperous. Under our
rule their industries will decay, their
laborers will starve, their crops will
rot on their wharves, and we shall let
them go to ruin, so that they may not
bother us in our markets.” What
should we have said to that base libel-
er of this country?
The present condition of Puerto Rico
should have been absolutely incredible
and inconceivable to Americans of two
years ago. We thought we knew our
own hearts, and we should have said
with entire confidence that wherever
our flag went it would go as a messen-
ger of benediction. Has a year and
a half of empire stripped us of all the
fine feelings of humanity with which
we went into the war for Cuban lib-
erty and turned us into a race of mer-
cenary oppressors ?—Philadelphia North
American, Rep.
Between the civilizing expansion of
Jefferson and the brutal imperialism of
McKinley there is a difference as great
—well, as great as the difference be-
tween the two men. There is no Dem-
ocrat who opposes imperialism as Mc-
Kinley seeks to introduce it who would
not support expansion as Jefferson in-
augurated it.—Bourke Cochran.
And so this “criminal war,” as
Chamberlain himself described it in
prophecy years ago, is to go on, with
all its “appalling misery and devasta-
tion.” England at last proclaims that
her purpose is the extinction of the
republics. And no voice in all the
world—not even that of the great re-
public, sympathizer hitherto with ev-
ery struggling people’s fight for liberty
—is raised to avert or to mitigate this
century’s crowning crime against the
rights of man!—New York World.
