T11E BLIGHT OF ISOLATION bEH1ND 0N ARMY REGISTER- |i Mary Hendrickson leaped from her bed in her home at 411 Cumberland street, Brooklyn, late the other night, and screamed. Her mother, who slept in the same room, had just gone to bed. When she saw the girl jump up she ran and helped her back to bed. The family physician. Dr. A. 0. Howe, was called, but the girl was dead when he arrived. The Hendricksons said that their daughter had been subject to night- mares for a year or more, She often When »he screamed in her sleep, awoke, however, she was never able to tell what she had seen. She sim ply knew that something dreadful seemed to happen to her. Sometimes H would be two or three days be fore she would recover. Dr. Hartung, the coroner’s phy sician, filed a report saving that the girl had died of acute dilation of the heart. Because of the serious effect of nightmares on the girl, who was 17 years old, she always slept in the same room with her mother and fath er. So far as the parents or any of the household know, there had been nothing in the course of the day which might have induced extraordi nary dreams at night.

New York Central. Lake Shore, und Dig Four roads between New York. Chicago and St. Louis. It will be some little time before this can be done fully, as the field is large and the connections with the side lines radiating all through the middle west, southwest and northwest are numer- OUS. An important advantage of the trains between New York and St. Louis is at the east end, where it enables a closing of the mail about six hours later, during which time nn enormous amount of mail accumulates in New York, all of which is advanced in deliv ery one business day in St. Louis and all points beyond. There is practically a gain of one business day at Pittsburg and points Ln Pennsylvania west of Al toona. Columbus is reached nt 4 p. m. in stead of 1:40 a. m. the following day; Indianapolis at 8 p. m. instead of 6:40 a. ni. the following day; Kansas City at’ 10:30 a. in. instead of 0:30 p. in., a gain of one business day, and Los An geles at. 6:30 a. m. instead of 11 a. ni. Mail reaches Cincinnati at 7:50 p. in., as against 2:35 a. in. the following morning, and at Chattanooga there is a gain (if one hour and 35 minutes. Pittsburg will get the New York newspapers at 12:20 noe.n of the day of issue, and at the same time there are ten or 12 mail trains leaving Pittsburg about noon which will scatter the mail over a radius of 150 or 200 miles on the day of dispatch from New York, which, under the old schedule, would not have been delivered until the following day. The advance of mails is also true of connecting lines at such points as Co lumbus. Indianapolis and Cincinnati. Mails gain four or five hours at Balti more and Washington, and connect with the fast mail trains at St. Louis, which distributes them to all points in Missouri, Kansas, Indian territory, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. In nearly all this territory there is a gain for a large amount of mail from 12 to 24 hours. In St. Louis the gain is 24 hours for all points outside of the business dis trict and 12 in the business district. At Kansas City there is a gain of 19 hours to the city mail. unteera.
