A VERY I.0XR SLEEP.
Miss
Grldloj', of Am boy. 111., Who
Not Wnked Since 11 arch 15th.
lias
With rosy cheeks, lightly-closed
eyes and gently heaving breast, sleeps
pretty Grace Gridley in her little bed
room in the house of her father, Mr. J.
Gridley, one of Amboy's prominent
business men. To gaze "upon her
peaceful slumber one would think she
was alxmt to awaken from a refreshing
night's rest On the loth day of
March, Mias Gridley, who is u'well
developed and healthy young lady of 11)
years, retired to rest in her usual
health. The next moruiug she did not
appear at the innal hour and after
awhile her mother weut up to her
room to call her. Upon entering the
chamber, Mrs. Gridley found her
daughter sleeping in the manner de
scribed above. Attempting to nwaken
her, she discovered her daughter was
sleeping more soundly than she at
first supposed. As a loving mother is
ever prompt to do, she said: "Well let
Grace bleep, she will be belter for it"
Miss Grace did sleep on through the
day, and when supper lime came it
was found to Ik impossible to awaken
her. Becoming greatly alarmed, her
parents sent for a physician, who ex
amined the cast with astonish
ment. Different treatment were
tried to dispel the trance, but
all iu vain. The beautiful
cirl. her coral litis narled in a lmlr
smile, blumbcred o:i and on without
the fclit'lili:t Hotter of eve Ia.-h. After
sleeping aliout a week the imrsj, who
uas always watchea by lier lisdaiae.
left the room inouteiitnriK. W?nn
she returned ahe found the bleeping
girl s ued empty. Urently fnghteimd,
she hasteued into an adjoining room
where the found Miss Grace silling in
an easy chair as sound asleep as ever.
In her lap, half open, lay a small
Bible. It is certain that the girl had
slightly aroused from her sleep, and
arising from her bed had secured the
Bible and gone into the other room,
where she had scarcely seated herself
when she agaiu dropped into the
strange sleep. She has not aroused
since that time and has continued in
her peaceful slumbers ever since.
Numbers of nlivsieinns hnv Iwn mn.
suited and brought to examine the
peculiar case, but thev nil look irfso
shake their heads and are profoundly
puzzled. Jo attempt is made to diag
nose the case, and not very much hope
bos been vouchsafed the sorrowing
parents and friends of the girl.
Amontr the manv surmises that have
been offered as to tho cause of the
protracted sleep, there is one that i3
unique, and iu support of which is
brought the incident of tho girl's
arousing up and attempting to read
the Bible. Just previous to the girl's
slumbers a large religious revival had
been going on in Amboy, which was
attended by much religious fervor. It
is thought that Miss Gridley had be
come so wrought up over tho meetings
that the mental excitement caused a
prostration of her entire system. This
is only a conjecture, but is as worthy
as the many other theories presented.
Miss Gridley, has, strange to say, lost
but little flesh, and appears to rest
as calmly and easily as a child in gen
tle slumber. The beating of her heart
and respiration are normal, and her
body is naturally warm. Food is given
in liquid form, but not in very large
quantities. After being placed in her
mouth the food passes into the stom
ach without nnv nnnnronf. nlTrf r,t
swallowing. What the final result of.
the strange sleep may be no oue can
surmise, and the many anxious and
loving friends must await until He
who reigns over all shall determine.

ternational exhibition of stamps at

Wherever Malaria Exists.
The bilious are its certain prey. In inter

tcr's S'omach Bitters is such a sure defense
asainst chills and fever and every form of
malarial disease, istuat it does away with
liability to the disease, by reforming irregu

Special by Tho California Associated Pbess.
San Francisco, June 11. The fail
ure of the Union Pacific to appoint a
successor to S. W. Eccles. of the
freight department who was pro
moted, has caused a deal of specula
tion in railroad circles. Many names
have been coupled with the position,
but the position is still vacant, though
it will not be so very long, if reports
which come seemingly from an au
thentic source are correct
It was learned to-dav that arrnno-p.
niente had been made for filling the
position, by sending B. Campbell, now
agencoi tuc union Pacific at Portland,
here, and making this oflice the gen
eral one, leaving assistant general
freight agent Woodward, in charge of
the Portland office.
The transfer of the general freight
office from Portland to this city, has
been induced by the great increase of
the U. P. freiirht business from finn

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Every ship that crosses the Atlantic
looks out every trip during warni
weather for icebergs off the Newfound
land coast. Once in a while one is
sighted, and two summers ago. it was
said, a berg with a polar bear basking
in tho sun noon its frozeu brow, was
seen by the imaginative crew and pas
sengers or an ocean steamer.
But the oil steamer Beacon TArilit
nas actually run into one of these
monsters, and the experience will be
sufficient to last her crew the rest of
their lives. It was like this: Fancy
a nuge wmte cloud, as large as
the largest building iu the world.
suddenly looming alongside of yon in
the fog and half darkness, as you
loot; out over tiio void from a shins
bow. Snddenly the cloud beeins to
gleam and glitter with all the hues of
the rainbow, in the rays of the ship's
great electric reflector. Then the
frightened scream from the captain's
lips; "My God, it's ice!" And he
ordered the engines backed instantly.
The next moment the steamer's
bow glides nuder a great overhang
ing ledge of ice. It strikes with a
grating sound and glances off, just in
time for its own salvation. There is
a thundering crash and a roar and ice
enough to keep a whole city cool all
summer, even at this year's prices,
falls into the sea. Some fear
ful fragments fall upon tho forecastle,
too, and turned the Beacon
LtUjni sideways, bne careens over
upon her beam ends, but
rights herself again, tho stanch ship.
But tho greater danger is still before
her. A terrible bump! bump! comes
against the ship's bottom, and it seems
as if Wo, universe was shivered to
splinters. Tuo tons of ice that split
oil' tho berg and sank are coming up
again, being lighter than the water,
and they are rising under the Beacon
LigJit, and lift her hull ten feet abovo
the water line.
The water rushes in, bnt tho iron
plates are welded true and strong.
The ice cannot destroy them, though
it spreads them so much that the
pumps must be worked constantly all
the way to New York to keep the ves
sel from sinking. But the men do not
mind a trifle like that now. As they
hndiUe together and look into each
other's eyes with blanched faces they
realize what it is to meet an iceberg.
Meanwhilo the iceberg has gone
calmly on its way.

Halifax, June 11. There is a feel
ing among military people here that
the presence of the United Stales'
cruisers in Behring sea will eventually
lead to trouble between the United
States and England. From the 1mm
don Standard's remarks on the sub
ject it would seem that a small spark
might kindle a conflagration. An of
ficer of one of her majesty's '
regiments says it might be
confidently expected the Canadian '
sealers would catch as many seala io
what was disputed territory. It migkt
also be put down as certain that aojae
of them sooner or later would tall ia,.
with a United States cruiser; what
will follow in such an event the fegne
of the times teach to be war. - ' '
