THE DAFFIN—MANN WEDDING.
The Event a Brilliant One in Lewis
town Society.
Lewistown, Pa., June 9.—Wednesday
evening, June 7, at Mann’s, Miss Char
lotte R. Mann, daughter of Mr. James
H. Mann, was married to Mr. William S.
Daflin. son of Mr. P. D. Daftin of Savan
nah, Ga. The prominence of the parties
centered great interest in the event, and
the spacious lawns and mansion of the
bride's parents were brilliantly illumi
nated with colored lights and Chinese
lanterns. The decorations of the house
and grounds were in great taste, potted
plants and palms giving an oriental tone
to the scenic effect. •
Promptly at Bp. m. the bridal party
entered the parlor and, the celebrated
orchestra, of Stopper Fiske playing
Mendelssohn's wedding march, advanced
to a chancel of evergreens, banked on
either side by a wall of cut flowers.
There, under a large floral bell, the ottici-
ating clergyman, the groom and his best
man met them, and, while the strains of
Lohengrin softly rose and fell, the happy
pair were pronounced man a fid wife.
The bride was given away by her
father. Sho wore white satin en train,
trimmed with duehess laoc. Her
veil was of white tulle, and
she carried a bouquet of lilies
of the valley, bride's roses and maiden
hair fern. Her ornaments were diamonds
and pearls, gifts of the groom. Miss
Genevieve Mann, sister of the bride, was
maid of honor, wearing white bengaline
trimmed with old Irish point lt eo. The
bridesmaids, Miss Daftin of Savannah,
and Miss Culbertson of Lewistown, wore
pink bengaline, Trimmed with point ap
plique and carried bouquets of Catharine
Mermots and maiden hair fet-t. Miss
Daftin was especially facinating. her cos
tume serving as a tasteful setting for her
great natural beauty, and she was the
recipient of a great deal of attention.
The groom wore the conventional black
and was attended by his best man. Mr.
William H. Mann, brother of the bride.
The ushers were Mr. Walter Mann and
Mr. Howard O. Lantz.
A reception followed the ceremony, and
supper was served. The piazzas were in
closed with vines and flowers and tables
placed where the guests took their re
past with the plashing of fountains and
excellent music as condiments for the
delicacies of a famous New York caterer.
A striking feature of the supper was the
bridal table, at which sat the families of
the bride and groom and the bridal party.
The decorations of this table were pink
and light was furnished from splendid
candelabra of rare and beautiful work
manship. The small tables and the bridal
table were decorated with pink roses, and
the mantelpieces in the dining hall were
banked with pink carnations.
Over 800 guests from all parts of Penn
sylvania, New York, Philadelphia, and
other cities were present. After the re
ception dancing was indulged in until the
wee sma’ hours. The presents were not
only in great number, but were very
costly, a peculiar circumstance being that
all the silverware which the bride re
ceived was solid.
The groom, who is a very attractive,
manly young man, has many friends here
at tho north and is highly esteemed by
all who have made his acquaintance.

Dr. H. S Tanner In Chicago Herald.
The publication of the alleged marvel
ous experience of tho pirl named Alexan
drine Sehitkine of Boglrodska, in the
province of Moscow. Russia, given to the
Heruld readers in the issue of Monday,
May 22. under the caption of “Fifty-one
Days Under Snow." gave birth to an ani
mated discussion among our hotel guests.
The majority of the disputants were in
credulous and disposed to relegate the
story to the realmof “fishy yarns.” They
affirmed—with more zeal than wisdom—
that unless the days of miracles had re
turned such an experience was an imix>s
sibility.
lam not prepared to affirm the truth
fulness of the alleged occurrence reported
by the St. Petersburg papers, but that it
is within the range of possibility is sup
ported by facts too palpable to be denied
and too significant in their character to
bo lightly regarded.
I hold that whatever experience is pos
sible to the lower order of animals is pos
sible to man. he being the crowning glory
of the animal creation. Now, it is not
necessary to go to Moscow for proofs that
jinimul life has been sustained for a period
of fifty-one days or longer buried in snow
drifts or otherwise. I have it on trust
worthy authority that in the very severe
winter of l!S30-'Hl, in Jo Daviess county,
Illinois, hogs and sheep were buried for
months in immense snowdrifts, their
whereabouts unknown to their owners,
which in the springtime came forth from
their hibernation—for such I term it—
healthy and with but a small loss of flesh.
Prof. Bernard, the French physiologist,
cites the case of a hog confined in a pen
at the foot of one of the chalk cliffs at
Dover, England, that was buried beneath
ltit) feet of chalk, the rcsultof oneof tlipso
immense chalk slides so common among
the cliffs. It required 140 days to remove
the chalk, and great was the surprise of
the workman to find, on reaching the pen,
the hog still alive and in possession of a
vigorous squeal.
MANY PROTRACTED BURIALS.
The live burial of a steer in a straw
stack on a farm near Syracuse, N.Y., fur
nishes strong presumptive, if not posi
tive, evidence that the Russian girl's ex
perience is within tnq range of proba
bility. This history, preserved in the
county records, told in brief, is as fol
lows: A number "of cattle were feeding
from the straw that was being rapidly
formed into a stack from a threshing ma
chine elevator. Intent in feeding, one of
the younger animals was buried in the
straw, and thebe it remained from Sep
tember until the following April, its
owner supposing it had been stolen or
gone astray. Cattle fed at the stack all
the winter and in the spring ate an open
ing through to tho prisoner. The steer
was released in good flesh and otherwise
normal, after months of live burial.
Tom Howe, living near Tuscola, 111.,
two years since, was the owner of a sheep
that was buried in a strawstack for sixty
days, under circumstances that precluded
all possibility of obtaining water or food,
which, when found and released, had
sufficient strength to outrun its pursuers.
A Lynn (Mass.) paper published a story
of the live burial of a cat, of eighty days’
duration, in the ash pit of an old brick
oven in tho basement of tho old Newhall
house, that stood for a century on Broad
street. This hotel was consumed at the
time of the great Lynn fire of Nov. 26,
3889. The facts, as alleged, are as fol
lows: “Workmen were engaged in re
moving the debris of the hotel' that had
fallen into the basement. The men, after a
time, reached the ash pit, the door of
which had been broken, making a hole as
large as a man’s hand. The man was
greatly astonished, in a few minutes after
the ash pit had been reached, to see a cat
stagger out of the pit through the open
ing in the door, and escape before he
could regain'his presence of mind. The
cat was seen by the other workmen.
Eighty-five days had elapsed since the
great Lynn fire, and this cat coming out
alive, and from a place where it certainly
could find neither air, food nor water,
furnishing presumptive evidence that
even the 'Ca t .Can hibernate under compul
sion. lafstn; c
The animal When released staggered as
it ran. The ash pit was only a few feet
from the hottest of tho ruins, and that
the cat got badly’ scorched was shownby
the fact that it came from its living tomb
with its fur badly singed.
From Tompkinsville, Ky., comes the
story of an old hen which was buried
seventy days in the debris of an old barn
belonging to Sam McPherson, near
Mount Herman, which was blown down
by a furious cyclone that passed over the
northern part of Monroe county, June 20,
1891, and literally torn to pieces. The
debris of the barn was not removed until
the next September. On removing some
timbers and other debris out jumped an
old hen and pounced upou the first thing
eatable that came in sight. On making
calculations it was found that she had
been confined in her narrow prison for
seventy days. Nothing disturbed by her
imprisonment, she attended to her knit
lin"r, for it was in evidence that that she
had laid an egg and hatched a chicken, as
the bones were found in the place of
burial.
It were easy to multiply- histories of
this character ad infinitum, but we have
no need of such to establish the possibility
of a burial of a girl under a snowdrift for
fifty-one days.
DO THEY HIBERNATE?
I take the position—and challenge a suc
cessful contradiction—that animals when
thus environed hibernate, like the bear,
opossum, etc. There can be no other ex
planation. In normal conditions of ani
mals air is an absolute necessity of physi
cal life and activity. In nearly all the
cases cited the air supply was cut off,
proof that the oxygenation and carboniza
tion of the blood was suspended.
Ho.v can phenomena of this character
be accounted for? is the question for sci
entists to consider.
There arc few scientific men who will
admit—at least from personal observa
tion—that a man can voluntarily’ suspend
his breath more than a very few minutes;
in fact, a number of authorities are on
record as stating that a failure of respi
ration for five minutes is a sure sign of
absolute death. But I have at this writ
ing nothing to do with authorities; I pre
fer to deal with facts that cannot and do
not lie.
The experience of tho Russian girl,
strange as it may appear, is no moro
marvelous than the strange and ap
parently inexplicable East Indian feats,
involuntarily burying themselves alive
for any period of time. During the tour
of the Prince of Wales though India the
high-caste fakirs were greatly stirred up
and evidently tried to outdo themselves,
and bow well they. succeeded can be in
ferred from thereportof Magician Kellar,
who stated tnal although he had had
thirty years' experience as a professional
magician he was still unable to arrive at
a satisfactory explanation of the achieve
ments of the highest class of Hindoo
magicians, but had about concluded they
were psychical in character, as proved by
his camera at certain points. He is cer
tain, however, that their grave tricks are
such a perfect counterfeit of death that
no one not in the wvn4 .an detect so
much as a technical difference.

was for a period of forty days, the grave
being guarded in the strictest niunuer by
British soldiers, at the end of which
period tho buried man's confreres re
turned and exhumed and resuscitated
him
Still later wo have the authoritative
statement of Archibald C LeWellyn, a
sturdy Briton, who, having beeu an eye
witness to a live burial, for a long period,
states that the remarkable power of the
oriental adepts to bury themselves for
months has not been exaggerated in the
least. He says: “When I first went to
India, some years ago, like every other
white man. I was absolutely incredulous
us to the ability of an.v man on earth to
be hermetically sealed in a box and buried
under ground for six months, or even six
hours,* for that matter. One day my
dhinga told me of a fakir who had just
come into the village, who. he said, could
!>erform the feat. After a great deal of
ceremony, and by dint of a liberal bribe,
vve set about to bury the yellow-skinned
old rascal. He was not a very lovable
object, and I would have about'as little
trouble on m.v conscience in killing him
as any human being I ever saw: but I
felt like an accessory to a murder as we
lowered him into a trench in my garden
and heard the plunk of earth upon his
coffin. He was swathed in baud ages from
head to foot. He had drawn himself up
into a hall, had rolled hack his tongue
into his throat, stuffed his ears and nos
trils with soft wadding, and was ap
parently dead in ton minutes after lie be
gan his final preparations. I put a white
guard over that grave night and day for
six months. At the end of that time, as
agreed, the natives gathered together and
1 sent for tho officers of our mess and we
dug him up. Tf J, had seen Moses resur
rected, if Julius Qaesar were to walk
down Pennsylvania avenue, I would not
be more astonished than I was when I sjw
that fakir. He was covered with mold
and, while perfectly inanimate, had not
decayed. In about three hours he had
fully recovered and was chanting tho
praises of Buddha.”
Incredible us the statements of Mr. Os
borne, Col. Medley and A. C. LeWellyn
may seem, and surprising as were the
revelations and strongly pronounced as
were the declarations of “impossible” at
tho time, such facts are now accredited
by the medical literati of Europe and this
country.
How long a period a person can remain
in a condition of suspended animation,
nuried six feet under ground, only the
record of eternity can reveal It is in
evidence that a person can bo buried .suf
ficiently long for a crop of barley to ripen
on his grave.
The Quincy (III.) Herald gave the par
ticulars of anew, startling, strange, and
to the ordinary mind, mysterious phe
nomenon concerning the secrets of the
grave. It statod that twenty-one years
ago the apparently lifeless body of Miss
Flora Hume was brought from St. Paul.
Minn., to Colchester and burled in the
Argyle cemetery, and that recently the
coffin was disinterred and that on opening
it it was found that the body had escuped
tho ravages of time to the extent that
the features were readily recognized by
relatives, there existing no discoloration
of the face, tho form full and round
and looking as though it might have
been buried only a few hows Now, if
the facts are as stated—and it requires
no great stretch of credulity on my part
to believe them—there is but one solution
of tho problem, and that is, that at the
time of disinterment Flora Hume was not
dead, but hibernating, and further, it is
my belief, it only require the wisdom and
power of a high caste Indian Yogi to
uwaken her out of that sleep.
Lizards, serpeuts, toads, etc., have
been exhumed from solid granite rocks,
where they have lain entombed thou
sands of years, deprived of food, water
and air. When found, a few hours of ex
posure to sunlight have restored them to
normal conditions.
If we class the magi among hibernating
animals, then the facts and phenonjpna
attending their interment alive for six
months are no more mysterious than fora
hog to bo buried in the chalk cliffs of
Dover for 140 clays, or for a bear to cast
himself in a ileath trance on the approach
of winter, and remain so for four months,
deprived of food, water and air, without
the extinction of the vital principle. One
is no more marvelous than the other.
Some suppose that hibernating animals
live on tho disintegration of their own
tissue as do forty days’ fastors. Not so.
Tho bear emerges from his win
ter quarters without loss of flesh,
but rapidly loses it, so much so
that in a few days he is reduced to
a mere skeleton. If the bear can hibern
ate for months without the loss of flesh,
does it require a great stretch of credul
ity to believe, that under the same condi
tions his sleep might be prolonged in
definitely? 1 think not. If this reason
ing is logical then the fakirs buried alive
might, if the conditions remained undis
turbed, prolong their hibernation to a
period corresponding in length to tho
legendary sleep of Kip You Winkle, and
remain, like Flora Huiqe, twenty-one
years in an air-tight coffin and buried six
feet under ground withal.
In view of the facts and testimony hero
presented, What ground is there for in
credulity as to the possibility of a girl
lying buried in a snowdrift fifty-one days
and coming out alive.
The plain truth is good enough for

Proprietors P. P. P. Cos., Savannah, Ga.:
It becomes m.v duty to add my testimonial
to the wonderful curative properties of the P
P P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potas
sium). Some years ago I bruised my ankle
on my saddle stirrup. From a little scratch
the place began to enlarge until it was as
large as tho palm of mv hand, discharging
pus. exposing part of the bone. I railed to
see physicians and they pronounced it as a
fever sore and incurable. It became so pain
ful and swollen so badly that I tried bandage
for relief until I secured a rubber supporter.
After securing the rubber supporter for temp
orary relief I began to use internal remedies,
trying several different kinds without any ap
parent ret-jcf. 1 resolved to try I’, p p
which I-ditl. After using one bottle the result
was such T. continued until the sixth bottle
was used, when my rubber supporter was not
further required, as the sore was completely
healed anti swelling entirely gone. I there
fore take pleasure In saying to the public
generally that it Is my belief from actual ex
perience that the use of P. P. P.. if properly
persisted in. will cure any case of impure
blood or blood poisoning. Respectfully
Por. B. F. Hickey,
Postmaster Wichl- a Falls, Texas.
I, the undersigned, knew Prof. Hickoy at
the time he commenced to take P. P, P\ for
his sore leg. and I did not chink a cure possi
ble. I noticed Its progress from the start, and
must say the remarkable cure P. P. p.
brought about was something marvelous.

A <3l HI. WHO KNEW IT ALL
Took Her Mother Into Some Queer
Place* at the World a Fair.
From the rihleago Inter Ooeen
It's $1 an hour to ride in the sedan
! chairs, or 25 cents for tho quarter hours
lint the fellows with tho collapsed bul
loou adjustments—which in this country
! nrv called trousers— exp'Vt to nveivo
“pour boirc," which is the price of a
i drink, extra Sometimes they get it,
I more often they do not They have been
: very docile about it until lately—since
, business is gettins to be an assured thing
1 with them. Now when the extra nickel
ordimeisnot forthcoming they do not
hesitate to grumble and sav “Pour bolre!
pour boircNot one in ten, however,
of their customers knows what ■ jour
boire" means. Yesterday they found
a customer who did know. Just, as I
was passing the sedan chair station three
of the Egyptian turnouts deposited their
burdens, and a mother and two daughters.
I evidently, stepped out of three of the yel
i low-curtained black chairs. One of the
I girls seemed to be acting manager of tho
| trio. She was a stunning-looking blonde.
She work a navy blue suit, Jacket and
skirt, trimmed with red, and silk skirt
waist, a navy blue sailor hat with a red
band, and a red silk parasol. I mention
tho suit particularly because I heard of it
later.
She handed tho three follows 75 cents,
35 cents apiece for a fifteen-minute ride,
and walked away. Each one hopped for
ward and said:
•Pour boire! Pour boire!”
“Pour boire ”’ she said. “Pour boire
after paying 25 cents for a 15-miuute ride?
Well, I guess not.”
MRANTNG OP POUR BOIRE.
They iusisted, and tho other three
men joined in. making two men to each
woman. The mother drew herself up
with great, dignity and said :
“What does pour boire mean?”
“It means money for a drink.” replied
tho daughter.
“For a drink of liquor? Certainly they
cannot have it.”
“Now, mother, don't you interfere.
The drink is all right. It’s the principle
of the thing.”
The six men still kept Jabbering and
waiting with outstretched hands. The
pretty blonde looked at them indignantly
and said finally:
“Do you know what you can do? You
can all six go to the devil, where you be
long. and stay there.”
The curious onlookers shouted with
laughter, The girl said. “Come mother,”
and walked away. The six chair carriers
settled back quietly to wait for more cus
tomers.
An electric current, or some kind of a
current that sometimes controls the in
clinations of people, seemed to guido me
along all day yesterday in the footsteps
of that mother and her daughters. I
brought up alongside of them again in
the Moorish palace. The mother was
lust ahead of the two girls. She was go
ing into ecstacies over the labyrinth and
mirrors and draperies and was getting
near the harem where the Moor sits with
his beautiful and numerous wives. These
wives have not any too many clothes and
there are many who think they should
have more. But that is a matter entirely
of taste, country and custom. As I was
saying the mother's fare was beaming
with pleasure, and sho wus saying:
OOT INTO THE lIAKEM.
“O, girls! If your father was only
here! How he would enjoy ”
Just then she saw the harem. Sho drew
herself back with a Jerk, with her enthu
siasm broken off in the middle. She took
one more look and said:
“Turn right around, girls, immediately.
We will go the other way.”
The girls said: “No, no, mother; wo
want to see these people "
“Girls, come here!”—said the mother
almost with a stamp of her foot—“have
you lost all sense of modesty?”
“We will come in Ju3t a minute, mother,
dear’, —
“Girls!!!”
“Yes, ma”—and the girls took a
final look at the harom, smiled at the
women, sort of winked at each other, and
then drew their faces dowu to the length
which showed their mother that they had
been properly horrified.
The next time 1 met them they were
coining out of the German village gnrden.
The girls were convulsed with laughter.
One of them said:
“Well, mother, we got a glass of beer
down you anyway. All you need is a
little experience and you will be one of
the boys yet—Just as much as papa ami
we are. lam going to write to pupa all
about it when we return to the hotel.
The mother did not smile. She said se
verely :
“Now, girls, if you tell your father that
I took a glass of beer I will never forgive
you. It was not beer; it was Edelweiss;
the man said so. It was very different
from beer.”
“How do you know it is different?”
“I know it because it did not muddle
me, and beer would.”
“Just the same, ma, that was beer, and
you can’t say anything more about papa
and us drinking it.”
SHOCKED IN ANOTHER WAY.
Again I ran across them in the woman's
building. They were sauntering down
the main floor when the mother spied tho
painting “Eurydice Sinking Back Into
Hades.” She halted, stood and looked at
the nude figure an instant, then said:
“Well, I thought I could come into the
woman’s building in peace, and here’s one
of these perfectly disgraceful pictures in
full view of everybody.”
Then the oldest girl, the. "acting man
ager." spoke up, and, without the sign of
a smile, said:
“Now. ma, I wish you would stop such
nonsense. You are making us miserable.
In the first place you made a fuss about
this suit of mine that papa likes so well.
You have harped on that until I could
Jump in the lake every time an.v one looks
at mo. You say it is this loud dress.
Then the next thing youpostively refused
to go into the art palace because of some
thing you read in one of the Boston papers
—probably written by someone who bail
never seen it. And now you come in
here and because you see a picture of a
beautiful woman you commence to mourn
that you have no peace. I tell you it is
nonsense, and it is—lt is—well, it’s queer.
And I don’t want to be disrespectful. I
may as well tell you that sister and I
went through every room in tho art pal
ace and looked at every picture. Did you
think I was going home and tell papa we
had not seen those magnificent pictures?
Do you know what I think? I think you
ought to be bled and got some of that old
Puritan blood out of you, and then you
would be the dearest mother in the
world.”
The elder lady was fishing for her hand
kerchief to wipe away the beads of per
spiration from her forehead. She was so
astonished by the tirade poured out by
tile pretty blonde that she could find no
words to answer.
She finally took a seat and told the girls
to go on and look until they were satisfied
and not think of her. She was of no ac
count Jn the family anyway; that they
and their father ran things io suit them
selves ; they would not have many more
years of it and then they would get over
being miserable. In a few minutes the
girls came flying back. They had found
some exquisite laces and embroideries
that she would enjoy. And the sunshine
came back to all three faces.
I did not see them again.

A 810 DIFFERENCE.
A Michigan Man Writes Mr Sperry s
Letter About High Rates for Board.
From the Macon (tja > Telegraph
Below Is published a letter from a gen
tinman in Michigan to the proprietor of
the Brown house, in which tho writer
wants to know if the rates of tho Brown
house are the same to-day as they were in
18*15. when ho stopped thoro und paid #175
ler day for board.
Tho Michigan man does not say what
his object is in writing the letter, but the
natural Inference after reading the
letter is that he wants to again visit
Macon, but wants to have .<omo under
standing about hotel rates lieforc he
comes The letter shows tlie rapid do
predation in tho value of confederate
money toward the closo of the
war, and how the writer paid #75
for a breakfast, #SO for dinner and #IOO
for supper, and that by next morning the
proprietor refused to take confederate
money at ull. In those days the Brown
house was run by E. E. Brown, who was
fumous all over the country as a landlord.
Everybody knew him and travelers would
go a iong ways out of their way to stop
overnight with Mr. Brown.
Here is the letter which was received a
few days ago:
Romeo, Mich., Juno 8, 1892.—Dear Sir:
I stopped at vour hotel in the spring of
1865 and t paid #175 per day for day board,
I wish to inquire if your rat es are still the
same, as I then thought, and still think,
that the price was high, considering qual
ity. I stepped up to the clerk—l do not
know if lie is still with you—and asked
the price of meals. The clerk replied:
Fifty cents in silver, #1 in greenbacks, #25
in confederate money.” Whereupon I
paid him #25 in confederate money and
took breakfast. At noon I stepped up to
tin' desk and Inquired the rates. Tho
clerk said: “Fifty cents in silver, #1 in
greenbacks, #SO in confederate money.” I
planked down SSO in confederate money
and had dinner. At tea time I inquired
the price of meals and tho clerk said:
“Fifty cents in silver, #1 jn greenbacks,
SIOO in confederate money.” I passed
over the SIOO in confederate money
and west into the dining room.
The next morning I left the
camp—headquarters Fourth Michigan
cavalry—and walked down to tho hotel
and asked the same clerk the price for
breakfast. He answered: “Fifty cents
in silver, $1 in greenbacks.” I said:
“How about confederate money?” The
clerk said: “We don’t tako confederate
money this morning,” and I rejoined:
“Very well; I don’t take any breakfast
with you this morning.” Yours truly, 11.
W. Bradley.
If Mr. Bradley should stop at tho same
hotel now he will find that while tho
clerk who refused to tako confederate
money Is gone, the clerks that are there
now will also refuse to tako it.
A Sudden Impulse—The captive princess
flushed angrily when the pirate king bent
over her and pressed a mad kiss upon her
brow.
It was a perfect day.
The waves, impelled by a gentle broeze,
splashed softly against the sines of tho
caravel. Two swordfishes might been
fencing for points in tho clear water and
all nature seemed rejoicing.
“Sir,” exclaimed the prinoess, “why
did you do that?”
Tho outlaw smiled. ,
“Because,” he answered, and his voice
was like the whisper of a northeaster In a
cornfield, “because the spirit moved me.”
She gestured petulantly.
“Yes, 1 thought as much”—she met his
glance fearlessly—“when I smelled your
breath. I’ve got my opinion of a man
who’ll kiss a girl when he’s been drink
ing. Go eat a clove.”
And the pirate felt as ;f a cathedral
had precipitated itself upon him.—Detroit
Tr ibuno.
