CAUSE FOE CAUTION.
Dr. Tanner Asserts That Suspended
Animation is Very Common.
TWO EE5IAEKABLE IKSTAKCES.
One Individual Who Awoke to Find Himself
Being Dissected.
IHB RESTOBATION OF k TOUKO LADI.
I Ctalm Tint Then b Kg Certiia lest cf Dnth
fcnt Decomposition.
Dr. Tanner says that cases of suspended
animation are far more numerous than are
generally supposed. A number hare come
tinder his personal observation, in which
the supposed dead persons were restored to
life. He asserts that there is no certain
test of death except decomposition. He
describes tiro remarkable instances.
Chicago, May 4. Dr. Tanner, the fa
mous faster, is is this city. He is interested
in the question of suspended animation, and
this led to a con venation with him in regard
to the case of the young woman, Wilhelmina
Stahle, of Jefferson Park, whose body
showed no signs of decomposition when
buried yesterday, though, according to sci
entific tests, she had been dead ten days.
Dr. Tanner said: "There is positively
only one sure test of death, and that is de
composition, and an advanced stage of that
Any other tests applied by a physician are
absolutely useless and prove nothing. I see
that the doctors who had been waiting on
Miss Stahl cat the tibial artery to show the
relatives that circulation had stopped and
to prove conclusively, as they supposed, the
death of the patient. Well, now, if that
girl happened to be in a trance as we say,
suffering from suspended animation why,
then, so soon. as she revived she would bleed
to death in a iew minutes, and the doctors
who perpetrated that fiendish outrage
would be virtually murderers.
VERY HABD TO TELL.
"I take it that what I may say on this
subject -would have little weight, because
people are aware of the utter unreliability
of doctor's decisions that a person is dead.
The cases of suspended animation in which
the facts are discovered to date are simply
too numerous. They speak for themselves.
The young woman in Jefferson has now been
apparently dead nine days, and still no sign
of decomposition appears. What can this
mean? But one thing, and that is that
from some cause decomposition has been
kept off; life is all that would do that out
side of embalming, which has not been used
in this case, so I am told.
"I have a case in mind where the body of
a young man was buried in a vault,. and in
three years the body was removed and iound
to be not decomposed. The physicians con
.sidered that fact strange, and laid the body
on the dissecting table to stndy it An in
cision was made with a scalpel, and in
stantly the man arose, being thoroughly re
suscitated, He lived for years, too.
OXE EEMABKABLE CASE.
"I had the pleasnre last fall of interview
ing a lady near Indianapolis, who came to
lite after 14 days of suspended animation.
Her little brother clung to her against the
will of the parents. Six doctors came in
and made their usual tests, and at last it
was considered foolish to keep the body any
longer. But the boy threw himself on his
sister, and said they should not put her un
der the ground. Hind yon, ix Indianapo
lis physicians had shaken their heads and
said that she was dead.
"Ko! Nol Sadie is not dead!' cried

the bandage which had ner jaw in place.
It fell, and the people in the room saw it
The brother saw it too, and noticed that his
sister's tongue was slowly moving.
'"Seel Seel' he cried, 'sheis alivel
They all saw and were horrified.""
" 'What do you want sister?' asked the
boy.
"'Wad-ter, wad-ter,' came the answer
from (he "woman supposed to be dead.
SHE IS STILL 1ITISO.
"They gave her water and she revived
and is still living, having since married. I
had a talk with her shortly after. I am
making this subject my special study, and
I tell you it horrifies me to learn all that is
going on.
''It is impossible to tell what person is so
constituted as to be liable to fall into a
trance. Therefore, friends ought not to
rely on the mere word of a physician. It
does no harm to wait a few days. As long
as the body maintains a good appearance it
will hurt nothing to delay the burial.
From the beginning of this year I kept ac
count of the cases of suspended animation
discovered and reported in the papers. They
averaged one a week in the United States.
That is a fact which shonld cause physicians
to be very careful when they pronounce
patients dead."

The Army Expert Who Watched Them
Greatly Pleased With HI Observation.
Washington, May 4. Captain Daniel
JL Taylor, who was directed by the Secre
tary of War to observe the movements of ihe
militia assembled at New York on the oc
casion of the Centennial celebration,
with particular reference to the ability
of the various commands to concen
trate at a strategic point in a
short time, has returned to this
city and is preparing his report He was
much pleased with the -result of his visit
and says that fully 40,000 militiamen poured
into the city without disturbance, on time,
and on an average within 16 hours from the
time they started from their homes. As the
troop trains were delayed by regular pas
senger trains, and were in cases side-tracked
to permit other traffic to go on, Captain
Taylor regards the time made as highly
favorable, and as demonstrating that in case
of need 70,000 militiamen could be assembled
in New York within 15 hours.
The .Fourth New York Brigade, coming
from outside the city, landed 2,134 men of
theirtotal strength ot 2,250 at Weehawken,
lunched, were ferried over the river,
marched to Madison Square Garden and
stacked arms all in one hour and fifty min
utes, and this despite the fact that the ferry
houses, stations and streets were jammed
with people.
Captain Taylor also remarked upon the
enthusiastic reception accorded by the pub
lic to the militia, clad in plain blue and
with nothing but their regular army oc

THE
SOUTH AMERICAN IMMIGRATION.
The Tide From Europe so, Strong- Xhat a
'Limit Haa to baMadc.
Washington, May 4. The Depaitment
of State'has been Informed by the Legation
of Buenos Ayres, under date of February
27 last, that the Chief of the Argentine
Bureau of Statistics haa prepared a tabular
statement of the immigration to that Re
public, which contains the following inter
esting facts: .
There were in the 32 years, from 1857 to
1888 inclusive, 1,374,797 immigrants of a
present population of only 4,000,000, and
while the immigration to the whole of South
America during the same period was only
1,703,000. The largest proportion of this in
flux Irom any one country was Italy, which
was over 65 per cent of the whole, followed
by Spain, France, England, Switzerland,
Austria, Germany and, Belgium, in the or
der given, Germany being only 1.54
per cent It is expected that the
arrivals in the current year will
reach 370,000, and the Argentine Govern
ment anticipating difficulty from the large
numbers arriving at once, has issued orders
to its British agents to limit the departure
to 200 a month, as it appears that many of
the 2,000 Irish who arrived in one day be
came dependent on publio charity, from in
sufficient preparation, made for their arrival
and irom ignorance on their part that the
public lands are nearly absorbed, except
such as are held by speculators at prices be
yond the reach ot the funds of the immi
grants. The Argentine Government Is contem
plating the re-purchase of some of the pub
lic lands in order to re-sell it in small lots
to actual settlers. At present a private
land corporation is offering land to immi
grants, near Bahia Blanca, at 520 per acre,
on 20 years' credit, with 9 per cent on de
ferred payment of the installments, the
company agreeing to famish seeds, tools,
animals, provisions, etc., to the amount of
51,000 during the first year, at a fixed price,
with interest as above.
