She has been incarcerated on the re- quisition of her husband, an insurance agent, who is living with another woman now. Ona tbe 19th inst., the politician and husband met opposite st. !awrence Hall and a lively scene occurred, The politician declared his deters mination to have the wife’s case investigated, and the busbaad threatened to brain him if he interfered.

Propie.ty the most remarkable case on re-

rd of a human being existing in a conscious tate without eating is that of Miss Kate Smasley, of Fort Plain, New York, who is lying at death’s door from self-starvation. She is at her father’s residence, and all at- tempts to induee her to take food have sig- nally faded. Her father declares—and he is & man whose word is reliable—that the girl has not partaken of food im one hundred

days up to noon on the 19th in- taut. She occasionally takes a little water in her mouth, but does not

swallow it, as this causes convulsions which seem to wr rench her stomach most painfuily

is termbly emaciated and not recogniz- sble to her frieads, Yet she recognizes her

rs and carries on conversation with them ‘nd is perfectly conscious. Her body is in iat = motion like a machine, so much so

that

»bed upon which she lies has to be mt orted for fear that it will fall to pieces y te constant vibration. The case is ittracting much attention, and the house is

constantly besieged with visitors. The girl cannot lve more thanafew days longer at

most. No one there doubts that she has issted the unprededented period herein stated,
