IN A TRANCE.' Tha Singular Case of Miss Bened'ct, of New York. To lie for weeks as one dead, to be partially sensible of what is taking place about you, to be utterly deprived of voice, hearing and muscular action, to be in constant terror of being on tombed alive, is, perhaps, one of the most dreadful and agonizing experi ences that can befall a human being. Such, however, was the condition of Miss Hattie Benedict, a handsome and prepossessing young lady of Marengo, N. Y., for four months until Wednes day last. Four months ago this young woman fell into a state coma, which continued almost uninterrupt edly for over five weeks. Then a peroid of five weeks ensued during which the young lady was in a semi cataleptic condition. On the 9th of last month she again lapsed into a state of complete coma, from which she became conscious for the first time Wednesday. The unfortunate young woman is the daughter of Elijah Benedict, a wealthy and well-known farmer resid ing near the village of Marengo, a small hamlet six miles southeast of Lyona. Miss Benedict is a handsome woman nearly 19 years of age. The Bene dicts are an old and numerous family in this vicinity. The peculiar affliction from which Miss Benedict suffers is not character ized by the same symptoms as those reported in the medical treatise. When the first trance appeared it crept gradually over the young woman with out any apparens cause. Sitting in a chair or busied about the house, with out regard to excitement or ennui, she would become aware of a growing feel ing of drowsiness, and then gradually lapse into a - semi-comatose state. And though, as she afterwards related in the seeming full possesion of her intellectual faculties, she was utterly muscle of her entire body. On these without the power to move or stir a sin gle occasions her upper eyelids had a decided downward tendency, and she has a full consciousness of the range of her vision. She could even see their lips moving, but was utterly un able to comprehend a word of their conversation or to hear the loudest noise made in the room. To the at tendants there was no sparkle or glit ter of the eye to show that she was conscious of their movements?noth ing but a cold, dull, lustreless stare like a dead person. She experienced no pain or physical sensation of any kind, though a brisk pinch of the fin gers or the insertion of a pin point in to her flesh would sometimes cause a slight, almost unobservable movement or start of the body. The..-operation of the heart was slightly perceptible, some traces of physical warmth re mained, a slight color lingered with in the centres of the cheeks, upon ap plication of a mirror to the lips, a torpid, irregular and vacillating action of the lungs was to be dectected. These are symptoms that characterized her five weeks' trance, from which she awoke at rare invertals, and re tained sensibility only for a few mo ments ata time. Her restoration was al ways sudden and complete. The awak enings were attended by cold sweats, and every change of her countenance was expressive of the most intens: terror. On every occasion of her re turn to consciousness her first words, uttered in weak and broken syllables, were : t{I am alive. Please don't bury me. Mrs. Benedict, the girl's mother, with tears in her eyes, each time trieil to calm her daughter, assuring her that she was not going to die, and that she would soon be restored to health. Once during this period when the girl awoke the mother hurried to get her a cup of tea and a slice o:: toast. Her daughter had the toast iti her hand and was raising it to her mouth when she sank into a trance, crushing the bread in her rigid fingers.. Thursday morning, November 19,1895, she partially awoke from her trance, complaining of an acute pain at the base of her brain. She had been in a practically uninterupted trance for over five weeks. Then followed near ly five weeks during whick the young lady remained in what may be termed a semi-cataleptic state, characterized by frequent intervals of complete con sciousness. The trance from which M?6S Bene dict suffered until Wednesday last came upon her instantly and without a moment's warning Sunday morning, January 12. She was reclining upon a sofa in the sitting room when she complained of a feeling of faintness, and had scarcely spoken the words when she fell into a deep sleep. Her mother hurried to her sides and, find ing her numb, stiff and chilly and her limbs in a drawn up position, placed her upon the floor and straighten her extremities. This she had been in structed to do by the attending physi cian least the death-like rigidity that had characterized her preceding trances should stiffen her limbs in an unnatural position. The young wo man was then carried to her room, where she continued in a death-like stupor until Wednesday last. When the attending physician, Dr. F. A. Hubbell, arrived he found the patient pale and white as marble, the extrem ities stiff and cold as in death ; the eyes, which were dull and fixed, turn ed upward and inward ; the irises greatly contracted, the eyelids mo tionless, lips chalky white and some what drawn over a drooping tendency of the lower jaw. There were no in dications of physical warmth. There was no pulsation at the wrist, and with the exception of a faint, irregu lar action of the heart the unfortunate woman presented every appearance of a dead person. Last Tuesday evening as Dr. Hub bell and two or three assistants were still patiently working to restoie the patient's vitality, a lamp which emit ted a brilliant light was placed near the fingers of Miss Benedict's left hand, and, to the suprise of all pres ent, though ashen, thin, and ghastly as they were, a faint reddish color could be seen, denoting the existence of life. The physician then applied his hand to the girl's prise, but was unable to detect the faintest throb bing. Remedies were then applied with renewed effort, and, though the physicians and helpers worked all night, they met with no better results than before, except that the reddish color in the fingers seemed to have brightened somewhat. These con ditions remained unchanged until last Wednesday noon. During the morn ing of that day the doctor resorted to the experiments of holding a mirror near her lips to ascertain if there was the 8lighest indication of respiration, and was overjoyed to find that a slight film of moisture, only to be detected by the instant application of the microscope, could be observed. The anxious mother and friends now gouped themselves about the bed side watching in eager expectancy for the return to sensibility?the possi bility of which seemed to bo promised by" the indications of life noted in the patient. At length a slight quiv ering of the eyelids was noticeable, and immediately thereafter an elec tric sjiosk of terror, awful to. ?ontem plate, shook the attenuated body of the girl. A cold sweat followed, and the horror of her thoughts was plainly depicted upon her face, as she ex claimed in an almost inaudible voice : I "I am alive. Please don't bury me." The ghastly danger to which she has been subjected, that of living in humation, seemed to have held con tinual possesion of her brain and to have haunted her throughout her trance. It is thought that she en dured j physical suffering whatever. The trance has left Miss Benedict in a week state, and she is scarcely able to speak. She seems to be recovering slowly from her awful experience, and is being cared for with every atten tion.?Syracuse Standard. A *arm Fit for a King. Washington, D. C, March 31.? Secretary Morton returned this morn ing from Biltmore, N. C, where he aas been spending a week or so in vestigating the famous estate of George Yanderbilt, and he told his colleagues at the Cabinet meeting to-day that there was nothing in the world owned by sovereign or subject that will com pare with it either as a residence or an object lesson in the agricultural arts. "It is the grandest idea," said Mr. '.Morton to-day, "that young Mr. Yan derbilt is trying to carry out. It is unique, and none but a man of his enormous wealth could undertake it. Few kings have either funds or the good of their people at heart sufficient to conceive and carry out what Mr. Yanderbilt has successfully demon strated. I do not know how much money he has spent there, nor how much more he intends to invest, but it is one of the grandest undertakings that individual enterprise ever at tempted, and I understand that it ia the owner's intention to leave it as a legacy to the public when he can no longer enjoy it himself. "There are 95,000 acres in the estate, and every inch of it may be said to be under 6cientifio cultivation, embracing every branch of the vege tible kingdom. Combined with this he hasi the most perfect system of roadways I have ever seen, and you can drive 100 miles over macadamized pavement without going off his estate. As an exhibition of landscape garden ing it is without equal. Fred Law Olmstead has had charge of that branch of the work, and the late Mr. Hunt was the architect of all the buildings, which for their several uses surpass any that exist on earth. There ia no palace in Europe that can equal Mr. Vanderbilt's villa for elegance, com fort and convenience, and he is gather ing there a collection of works of art that would make it famous if it had no other attraction. His stables, his barns, his dairies, his propagating houses, his henneries and other fea tures of his establishment are all on the same grand scale. He has under taken to furnish the highest possible example of the science of food culture in every one -of its branches. He has employed the best men he can find to take charge of his experiments and pays them salaries that are commen surate with their services. There are Germans and Frenchmen, Italians and Englishmen, as well as Americans employed. The foreigners are usually men of high professional reputations who are attached to universities in the old world and spend their vacations, three, four or six months, on Mr. Vanderbilt's estate looking after their respective departments. While the work has not yet been carried far enough to show results, the possibili ties of its usefulness offered by Mr. Vanderbilt's enterprise are unlimited. "I consider his work there just as important to the agricultural interests of this country as the department of agriculture ut Washington. He em ploys more men than I have under my charge, and I think he is spending more money every year than Congress appropriates for this department, al though I do not know his figures. He has nearly a thousand names on hi3 pay roll and we have about 700. His men are promoted for efficiency ac cording to the most practical civil service rules. If a man who is em ployed al, a dollar a day to shovel dirt shows that he is capable of something better hi3 work and his wages are both advanced, and the same rule applies to everybody on the estate. "If there were nothing else to be accomplished, Mr. Yanderbilt ia at least building up an educational in stitution that will furnish scientific farmers and teachers for the instruc tion of the rest of mankind, and I feel like thanking eld Commondore Yan derbilt for having given us a grandson who has che brains and the benevolence to devote his wealth to afford the pub lic such valuable object lessons in art, architecture, agriculture, forestry, viniculture, dairying, roadmaking and other useful sciences. "The people down there talk about the enormous amount of money that Mr. Vanderbilt is investing to gratify his tasteand pride, to provide luxuries for his appetite and magnificent dis plays to flatter his vanity, but the poor creatures do not comprehend the first letter in the alphabet of his ambition. Their vision is not suffi cient to grasp a single fragment of the idea he is developing, and while they imagine that it is all due to selfishness he is a great benefactor working for them. They talk about the land be ing woru out down there in North Carolina. It's the people. The land is till right if brains and enegy were applied to its cultivation."?Chicago Record. The Ghost Objected. A Star reporter on a correspondence trip had occasion to stop Jail night in a West Virginia cabin, where he had been entertained a year before. The cabin at his first visit had faced the road ; it now occupied a position at a considerable distance from the high way and faced the other direction. When asked about the change, the owner of the cabin said : "Had ter make it. Dad made sech a fuss 'bout it my wife 'lowed we'd hev ter move back. Yo' see, she never knowed the ole man in his life time, an she didn't like bein pestered by him 20 y'ar after he war dead." "How was that ?" inquired the Star man. "Waal, the house uster be hyar fore tha.r war any road, an when dad died we buried 'im over yonder by them oaks. The road war cut through an we moved the house over dad's grave. He never bad cut up none, though he was a great cavorter when he lived, but when we moved the house he uster come every night ter our bed an try ter sw?ar at me, only he couldn't talk. It kin o' tickled me ter see the ole man when he couldn' sw'ar, but my wife kicked crbout it, an I moved the cabin Dack agin.

Scott who was governor of South Carolina from 1808 to 1872 yesterday at the Grand Central hotel must have undoubt edly called to mind the days of Radicalism that prevailed in South Carolina once upon a time. Ex-Governor Scott, accom panied by Mr. H. M. Wisler, an attorney from Chicago, arrived in Columbia early yesterday morning and it was not lone before a good many old Columbians called on him. Mr. Scottand his friend regis tered at the Grand Central hotel. When a representative of the State call ed on Mr. Scott he was redlining in a chair in the olBce of the hotel. When queried aR to his visit to this State he said that it had no political significance what soever; that be bad simply returned to Columbia for the purpose of looking after some of his property that ?vas in the city. He expressed bis extreme gratification at the biir improvement that Columbia has madfl wince he was last here. Mr. fcott left South Carolina in 1877 and has not since that year up to yesterday put his foot on South Carolina soil. Mr. Scott said it was trne that it. had been 19 long veara since he was hern, but be had not forgotten many Columbians and had al ways a warm spot in bis heart for South Carolina and her people. "Mr. Scott, are you here to boom Mc Kinley in this State?" queried the re porter. "Not by any means," answered Gov ernor Scott. "I have given up politics long ago and do not expect to re-enter the field. I am here for the purpose of looking after my property and have bpen travelling for my health. I find that my trips around the country have greatly benefited me and I have very much im proved lately." Mr. Scott said that while he was a Mc Kinley man he was not making a cam paign for him, but believed that McKinley would be the successful candidate. Mr. Scntt said after he left South Caro lina in 1877 be went to his old borne in the northwestern part of Ohio where he owned some property and had been living in that State ever since. He said be bad lost a good deal of money in Sou'h Caro lina and it came near crippling him finan cially. "McKinley formerly lived in the same county thati live in and I know him very well. He is a good man ; the winning man in the campaign for President," Mr. Scott said. Mr. H. W. Wisler, Mr. Scott's friend, is a practicising attorney of Chicago too, was asked If politics was the object of his viiut to South Carolina, and answered that such was not tbe. case. He was simply here with his friend, Mr. Scott. Ho has been Mr. Sott's legal adviser for years and frequently accompanies that gentleman on trips *<outh. Ho said he whs more in favor of Morton for President than McKinley. "Chicago is paying a good deal of at tention to the Southern States exposition that is going to be held in that citv dur ing the coming fall," said Mr Wisler. "( bicago is taking much Interest in the exposition and will do all it possibly can to make tbe great show a triumphant success. If present indications count for anything, tbe exposition will be an un parelled success." Mr Wisler said he has an interest in tbe Cripple Creek Camp mine which is located in Colorado. That mine produced 810,000,000 last year and expects to surpass that amount during the coming year. ' I have good authority that South Carolina bas large gold mines. I am sure, with the right kind of capital, South Carolina nan greatly increase her wealth. The gold mines in this State should be worked and there is a good deal in them." "I have been travelling with ex-Gov ernor Scott. He Is very close to me and has shown much admiration for me. That is why I am with him on this trip. Governor Scott has a warm side for South Carolina and I think be made a great mistake in moviug away from tbe State. He has only political enem<es in this State and you know that those kind of enemies don't hold out their en mity long. Governor Scott has always been very A SPECIFIC ?FOR?

There is in biding in Gotham at present a man named Thomas Lake Harris, a queer character and adventurer, who y>are ago figured In more than one newapaper sensation. Some yeara ago Lady Oliphant denounced him to the world for having etripped her gifted eon Lawrence of his fortune, Harris founded a community having the double feature of a strict communism and a quest for unending life on this earth. He announced the discovery of a law whereby it was possible for a human being to escape the pangs and penalties of deatb. He assured the world that be himself bad mastered the law, and would never die. That la eomething which must be left with timf> to prove. He gathered about him a number of persons of considerable means, and they all made over their property to bim. Among these was a Japanese prince, who is now the manager of the property. Harris is himself at present living the life of a recluse in Gotham. Why he has deserted his community no ono seems to know. ? The seventy-two races inhabiting the world communicate with each other in 3.004 different tongues, and confess to about 1,000 religions. The number of men and women is very nes.rly equal, the average longevity of both sexes being only thirty-eight years, about one-third of the population dying before the age of 17. Moreover, according to the most careful computation, only one person In 100,000 of both sexes attains the age of lOO years, and only six to seven in 100 the age of 60. Generally, taking the entire world, married people live longer than single, and those who have to work hard for their living longer than those who do not, while also the average rate of long evity is higher among civilized than un civilized races. Further, people of large physique live longer than.those of small, but tboso of middle size beat both.?New York Medical Record. ?

Dear Sir: Replying to \ cir fwor of re cetitdate, asking my estimate, of the valne of a policy contract in the Mutnal B-ntfit Life Insurance Co, of Newark, N. J, I would say that my attention was called to the advantages of owning a policy in thin Company about seven years aKO by a friend of mine who was receiving 22 per cent dividend annually on a new policy, when I wbb only petting about 10 percent on my policy of $3000 in the Equitable Life and about 11 p*r cent on my $2000 policy in the New Yoi : Life Hi* con tract and mine in these Companies being about the same age. I gave up these poli cie- in the Equitable and New York Life And took out two po'iciesoi $ 000 euch in the Mutual B^ns-fi. Life and tbe smallest dividend they have paid me wa* 20 per cent I carry ?G< 00 resides thi-j in other Companies, hur I regard the advantages offered by tbe Mutual B m fit superior t< any contract I have ever examined, e?pe ci al! y the guaranteed face vil ne, tbe 30 per cent loan plan, tbe reputation to conomical management, the liberal ex tension features and tbe large dividends they have credited me with for tbe past six years I would not hesitate to recom mend it to any one desiring reliable life insurance for tbe smallest cash outlay.
