The case of MorlU 1runt who 111 been
Mice ilnro Alirll U7 and who Is I noW being
treated In the lleth Israel Hospital At i aoo East
Broadway H the loot Interesting case of eat
lepfy that Now York physicians linvn trcn fur
fear As HAS told In THE BUN yesterday thli
I front fourth cataleptic sloop Hit tint at
tack 1 eight years ago and lastwl twcnt
four hours The tccnnd one was five yeari
ago anti Inatcd live day which wni spout In
IlelleTUD Hospital Hit third WAK three Hat
awi And lotted nine days during nil of which
time the doctors ill t tlia Mount Hlnul Hospital
worked t wake him Nous ot thiso idiepi
WI preceded bT any of the symptoms which
ordinarily precede Attack ofcatnlupsy Tho
bur limply felt sleepy welt t bed end re
fused t wake up This time ho slant nt lilt 1
own home for teu day and scarcely any attempt
tempt was mao to arnVen bun his parents
upposlng that he would got up when he cut
ready a ho did In the olhnr Instances Hut
when he broke hli sleep record they liocnme
frightened and they hud him Ukon In the hos
pital were since Slay I he has had tho cola
Unt attention ot Dr Nelson and lias been
vlilted by many other physicians
lie wiu seen yesterday by a reporter for TIIK
BUM wile the dally treatment t bring him
out of his sleep was being administered Dr
Ktlson iays that Iront difficulty Is hysterlA
aI that that I the causo of the catalepsy
Then I I posslblu that he U shamming I
sleep asked thu reporter
I think It I possible snld the Doctor
though It l unlikely for tho treatment he has
received has been eo severe that I do not think
a person shamming could control hlmclf
For Instance have of
Inetnco we hlvo given him 0 charge
electricity that I am certain he could lot
itand It he was shamming and It hits been
applied t the mOlt sensitive part of bin body
I think It more than likely that the trouble Is I
a absolute loss of will ponur This Is I to In
many easel of catalepsy The victim retains
consciousness It may net L full consciousness
Itit there Is I enough to know what 1 i lulll on
round blU For Instance he may bo con
scious of our pretence at his bedside Ho may
hear what wo say and understand It all but ho
a not the power to how that he umltrUamU
Iwer
It 1 cannot I ove a mutclu Hu cannot
fear hlr eyelids Ills jaws are locked and hn
cannot open them Wo cal take any part of
him and du wjtli Itnhat wo will He may
know what we are doing but he t powerless to
protest or to prevent us He may bo uncon
scious ot pain and all that Weur Inning
him now The phislclans halo ngncd on thu
starvation process of treatment Wo will
keep him absolutely without food for forty
tight hours Then we will glo him food
gain by Injection and later put haps If It Is l
advisable Ye will starie him ugiUn Hit I
think this will hardly be necessary for I bo
hove he will wako up rllher tnnlgbt or to I
morrow morning I think thin because of the
way he responds to thu lests Ho rcaftriU
biter than ho ha done bofure Ill It look
very much as It thin long sleep was nearly over
When he came here his body wns rigid Ihe
rigidity has gone now and It U I eay to place
him In any position that wo e1
J wa lime to make Fronts bed and tho
purees who came In lifted him out anti placed
htm on tho Moor lie laid exactly In the posi
tion that he was placed Not a muscle stirred
When the lied 1 was male he was tdiked up
and put > In It The Farrody battery a
fresh cnn was brought Into the rom ali the
I two poles were applied to dltlcrent parts of
bis body A light current was turned on ant
It was gradually Increased until the full
itrength was In use The arms mo c1 nnd tho
muscles In the cheek contracted There was
muscular responw everywhere but It wait limo
the response that adtaa body makes There
wa everything but life The application was
continued sonic two and then the current was
turned oil
Tho Doctor next took a needle and jabbed
VI It Into the mans lej half A dozen times Them
dV Wag no respone whatever This operation wns
0 repeated 1 dozen times on the arms w 1th no
tme lh
iffect Then It was put clear through his cheuk
I a couple of times and still thero was no re
mit The needle was laid aside und the
Doctor placed his finger on the supraorbital
which U just above tho and
nerve I aoo eye alll pres
sure on which cal see Intenso pain The Doc
tor pressed It again aud Alain In a way that ton
person awake would have caieed pilu almost
sufficient t drive him crazy but not a muscle
of 1ronta bony moved After all these tests
and Imo others a most careful eiuinlnatlon
was made of the patient Ill temperature
wa normal His pulse was normal and strong
and healthy aa strong and healthy as was the
cuts of any man In the room
His case said the Doctor 1 a rcmirk
able one There have been much loncer sheea
than his but they are rare Isually the sleeps
last only a few hours though sliepi of three I
four five oreUnt days are not unusual
I he does recover tomorrow will ho re
member what has happened
It t possible I think that he may remem
ber some things but It I alt gather likely
that he will not though he may b conscious
any remembrance that ho has of what line
taken placo around him A1 lm 1 to vnue that
it will b hardly worthy of tho name I Is I
more likely that ho will l begin exactly where
he was wneu bo wont to sleep and what has
happened since will be a closed book to him
I will be just the same as It It never happened
Je will simply have lost twentytwo days I
more of his life
ICo
Nut the least Interesting thins about fronts
case Is I the fact that although In twentytwo
day only very small Quantity of nourish
ment has been glen him hu has not lost n
pound In weight and except for the fact that
pund 1 asleep ho anpears to be na well ns any ono
could b The medical liooks lel of caM like i

Whulmen and especially wheelwomtn who
aie the cycle path from Prospect lark t Coney
Island have not ceased talking About their In
creased pleasure In riding there since Iark
Commissioner Woodruff placed tUes alonr
lb entire path a Intervals nf about nfty yards
The Improvement wise attributed t fresh blood
In the lark management lint I now ap
pear that the cyclists have been giving Mr
Woodruff praise that he does not deserve fully
It IB I Mr Woodrnfl who should ban the
prnlie The Park Commissioner told about It
recently when A friend complimented him
alxnt hla forethought for the cychst
I wa Mr Woodruff Idea he exclaimed
We were riding along the path one day when
Mrs Woodruff noticed that many of the lale
who had dismounted far A rest were leaning
against the tree or lolling on the ground
I was pretty early In the year to lit on this
ground Dret she naked mo why benches couldnt
be placed Along the path FO that bicyclists
to iould I obtain a thorough rest when they wanted
oreat Proltl nald I why didnt I think
nf that Why Ive not 600 benches stored
away with 10 Place tq put them That very
night we stitrtcd out the truck and the next
day the cyclist began t send ma kindly mes
sages Mrs Woodruff however should lot
Ie chief credit added the Commissioner
Few persons know what It means In hard
work to b Park Commissioner of Ilrooklyn
Mr Wool ruff told A friend last week that he
had been over t New York only twice lu five
week to attend to his business affairs He
and the superintendent of tuj lark and other
Assistant are out In Irospcct Park nearly the
wholo time when office duties do not require
their presence at their desks They are mak
ing memoranda constantly as to what In their
judgment tho Iark needs to add to Its beauty
nnd practical value to the pconle Four or
live times 1 week Mr WoodrulT has hli chief
a slst nu come t his house to dinner and
Ihen they spend the evening often silting up
lute lu discussing how they can make the

Time final revolt of the patient neighbors of
tho Lambs duo does not surprise anybody
who has ever suffered from the Infliction of
being awakened It sleep WAS ever possible
half a dozen times during I night by the belated
resellers who are enjoying themselves In their
oil n Lambs Club way at tho club IIOUMJ or on
the street The asphalt pavement hat not
served to make Thirtyfirst street between
llroadway and Fifth avenue a quiet block
There are to many hotels and restaurants In
the region but they aro unimportant factors
In keeping that part of the town awake at night
compured to the activity of tho members of the
lab Club With the windows open the
sounds of revelry flood tho block and on Sunday
night the complaints of tho neighbors had evi
dently not yet had their effect Thero was an
unrestrained piano going at 1 lively rate until i
early In the morning and thero
tlrnlnl were various
occurrences In the street during the evening

would have bun This particular revelry con
tinued as far west as Fifth avenue where It was
checked by a copper Unt It lind continued
long nUll loud and the neighborhood was well
aroused before tho tone cam to an end Af
ter this there were various disconnected Inrl
dent not conducive to quiet or slumlicr and
the residents In the vlciilty of tIme club per
haps from habit as much us from any real
grounds for the charge attributed iho trouble
to the homewardbound members of the club I
Is a fact that the men who belong to the Iamb <
are from the forro of circumstances compelled
to take their pleasures late During the Ma

to get to tho club house uHll nn hour ut which
Inlet men aro beginning to think of leaving
their clubs This excuse Is not ut present so

Police Commissioner Roosevelt bad some
thing to say yesterday afternoon relative to the
remarks made In the morning by Magistrate
Kudllch who scored the Iollce Commissioners
for allowing prisoners to be kept locked tip over
night without food The MagIstrate had before
bm a number of pushcart men who were ar
rested on Saturday Somo complained that
they hud nothing to eat during ttie time they
were locked up Tho Ma IMrato said > It was a
shume and discharged the prisoners
Mr Itoosetell said Magistral Kudllchi
complaint relates to what has been the Inva
riable cnttom of this department since Its foun
dation No prisoner Is fed until ho Is muanded
from tliecourt If tin is discharged hu hat time
to net his breakfast If he U remanded wr gIve
film his breakfast The Police Hoard has no
L over whutexer to alter tho present practice
unless an appropriation H made by thu Hoard of
Estimate and Apportionment to feed the pris
oners as Magistrate KudlUh suggests U would
flCesSitatU uu appropriation of about 4UGOU a
year For some U > u Chief Cortrlght has been pre
paring a report Vhls very question to be ub
miLled to the luajor Hu informs me that this
present practice ait a matter of fact produces
very utile hardship If the men arrested could
get supper at all lucy can rend out anil gut It at
time station house and they are discharged III
time for breakfast
The Hoard would of course like to feed them
but the attitude of thin Comptroller makes It io
lltllcult for ui to get money pay for Hie meals
even of the prisoners whom It hat always been
time custom to feed that 1 fear there U little
chance to persuade tho city authorities to make
a new departure and a pi roprlnlo 40000 for
meals to prhunrrs whom It has never been the
custom for thin city to feed
