DA>'GEli OF Bl RIAL ALIVE. # Instances of Suspended Animation, Including Case of a Washing| tonian. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Dr. E. P. Vollum, U. S. A., was, when a lad of 16 years, "drowned" in Long Island Sound on-e morning about 10 tt:~ -n-oo t->1 a . in a U CIOCH.. XT.J.& UUUJ? v> clj yiuv^u ... wagon and hauled three miles to his home and prepared for burial. At daylight next morning one of the watchers discovered signs of life, Vollum, after graduating at the medicaal college passed the army examination and bercame a doctor.in the army. At the battle of Gettysburg a bullet passed through the head of Gen. Paul tearing out both eyes. Three days latv er his body was removed from the field into a house. Dr. Vollum, having had a narrow escape from premature burial, had adopt-ed the opinion "that there is no certainty of death until the body clearly shows decay," refused to have him buried. Several days later the general showed signs of life, and in time recovered his health and strength and, although blind, lived fourteen years in Wash ington, D. C. v In the afternoon of the battle of Chickamauga an Ohio soldier on Snodgrass Hill was shot through the "body. He was carried to the regimental surgeon and pronounced dead. The writer had the pleasure of going over that field in 1893 with this soldier and his handsome young daughter. He was then a member of the Ohio State legislature, and was a robust, healthy * man. It seems that the third day after he was shot he became sufficiently conscious to attract the attention of a l ' sergeant of a Virgiana regiment, who ? poured some water on his wound and a Tl-i q novfr I gave him some to uima. I day the Confederates carried him to [ the doctors at Snodgrass House. After Dr. Vollum was transferred to the retired list he went abroad, and there met a wealthy Englishman, who paid the expenses of publishing the "book Yollum wjote some years later on premature burials. > Vollum states that two undertakers in England told the Englishman and himself "that if what they personally knew was published it would horrify the world." He stated that if a person\ died in Germany the law required that it be at once reported to the nearest physician of the government, who at once takes possession of the body moves it to a mortuary, placing it in a comfortable bed, where it is under - constant observation until decay is A?-:" < >Km' 11 in shown, ine mori.ua.iics ait u cemeteries, and the attendants live in them. It is said that the last mortuary built in Munich cost several hundred thousand dollars. Germany is not a wealthy nation, tion necessary. Their doctors say the % spend thousands of dollars every year I to prevent any one being buried alive shows that they consider the precau.1 Ml tion necessary. Their doctrs say the shock to the solar plexus caused by( W a gunshot wound, a fall, a blow from a fist or club, or a tired and hungry I person drinking a quantity of ice cold i water or beer may cause apparent f death that may last for days until the system recovers from the shock and ^ revives, and the person lives. The mnv aisn occur from weakness oauiv WW caused by illness, especially during epidemics. They seem to think that American customs are rather brutal. To bury within two or three days does not eive the body time to recover and al lowing all our undertakers at once to inject 10 cents worth of embalming fluid into the foody kills all chance of its ever reviving. It would look as if Americans were anxious to get rid of their parents and grandparents, 4 for. of course, middle aged and old people are much more liable than young people to a state of suspended animation. The Park Idea Gaining. News and Courier. Five citizens of Florence, South Carolina, have donated to that community ? tract of land to be used as a public park. In New York city the plans of a railroad to run its tracks through land now used as a park have ' aroused the most intense opposition. Florence is a small city, though a progressive on?. New York is the greatest city we have. In both of them the question of parks seems to be of con siderable importance just now. This fact is interesting. It is a sign / of the times?a manifestation of that ? spirit which is at work, in little citi-?s as well as big ones, more actively than ever before to make life in the cities more pleasant and mro- healthful. It is a sign, moreover, of real advancement. Cities, while they are in the raw state, do not bother themselves very much about things lik~ parks. ??n??? You don kindle. No smoke or din .

Such considerations seem then of mi- t nor importance. The j is no time to t devote to anything whvh is not direct- 1 ly concerned with business. The tract 1 of land which should be reserved for s a park for the people is cut up and 1 sold for building lots. 1 The time is coming wlien every pro- c gressive city will realize the impor- i tance of doing a big business?when ( it will Realize that the more beautiful ] it is the more rapid and genuine will be its growth. The development of the park idea, in small communities ( as well as in large1 ones, is a thing which tends to make life more pro- ^ fitable in dollars and cents as well as ^ more pleasant and more healthful. , i * 1 1 AS-PATIENT AS JOB. * It Seems Indeed a Verity That Lore i Will Find a Way and Fetch Ke- j ward. i . i J Yonkers, N.

At the commencement exercises of public school No. 12, just concluded the engagement of its principal, Mrs, Elizabeth Sanborn Knapp, to the Rev. Dr. Holley is announced. Mrs. Knapp, a widow, and now a grandmother, is retiring on a pension after more than a quarter of a century at work in the school room. She and Mr. Kolley were sweethearts together in Rochester, N.

The marriage of the couple will be celebrated soon at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, in New York. I Commenting on the above the Charleston Post says: "Dr. Holley was for a number of years rector of Christ church at Greenville, and is well known throughout the diocese of South Carolina. He left this State about 15 years ago to go into other fields and has held the rectorship of several important parishes. Dr. Hollev, besides being prominent in the church, was very active in Masonic circl-es and was senior grand warden of the Grand Lodge of South Carolina. At the time jhe was called from this diocese." ? i This Is In Dorchester, Not in Newberry. ?orc'hester Eagle. * *J 11 1 ? ^ /3 /\ < *?% f o Very nine nas uee.ii uunc aj iai by the present administration in the way of improvements, but the | public should not eb impatient. : Give "he new council a chance and we are sure they will make good.
