St. Louis Woman Was About to be Embalmed When She Showed Life. Hast St. Louis, Mo., January 15. Mrs. Christian Hirth em erged from a trance yesterday morning to find herself under process of being embalmed and prepared for the grave. The dis covery of life was the result of the merest accident and astound ed the undertaker. A movement of an eyelid saved the woman horn death at the bauds of the undertaker, or from burial alive. Yesterday morning while htr husband watched at her bedside at the hospital, she gave a deep sigh and then seemed to breath no more. When the country physician arrived he pronounced hsr dead. The country under taker was called and shortly afterwards proceeded to embalm the body. Mrs. Hirth was placed on the cooling board, and the work of preparing her for burial began n each eve a weight was plac ed to hold the lids. Over the face a white cloth saturated with bleaching fluid was spread. When ready to remove the bleaching cloth he noticed that one of the weights had fallen oft. lu replacing it he thought he detected a slight movement of ine eyelash. There was no beat of pulse or sign of breath, how ever, so he set about preparing his instruments for the inject ion of the poisonous fluids used m embalming. While thus en gaged he noticed a faint quiver of the eyelid. He summoned as instance and the body was re movtd to a bed in the hospitel. The doctor was called and re storatives applied. Gradually the woman came out of her coma aud was able to move her body. She was unable to discuss her experiFnces, but made signs to indicate that she was conscious of all that had taken pace It is expected that she will regain some of her strength and live for a while at least. - NEWS ITEMS FROM ENEDTON The Birttf-Place of The Fisher- man & Farmer.

' Important Conference of South f ern Men to be Held in Al- T . ... A committee of white citi zens was appointed at a. recent meeting arj Montgomery Ala., to make arrangements for a large conference of Southern men To consider the race qus tion as affecting the South. The purposes of the proposed confer ence art stated as follows in the call that was issued inviting at tendance at the preliminary meeting : "As Southern men, we feel that any real solution of our race problem can be best ap proached by the people of the South themselves, and under the leadership of those forces which represent the dominant influen ces of our on section. We have realized, however, that there is as yet among us no par liament either of men or of ideas. There is no general organ or in stitution through which the va ried aspects of Southern con viction can gain expression. Be lieving, as we do, in the value of debate and in the use of argu ment, we feel that a conference of Southern men upon this sub ject will have a deep and far reaching influence upon our public opinion. This confer ence, if successful, might be held each year, and mig it be come our recognized organ for the expression of Southern sen timent in relation to the most vital of Southern problems. In older that it may command in the fullest sense the interest and the confidence of our people, we prefer to have its sessions open to the abler and more respon sible advocates of the various conflicting opinions which ob tain among us. We should like to see this conference deal with such subjects as the relation of the negro to the franchise, the relation of the negro to educa tion and to religion, and the re lation of the negro to the social order (including a discussion of the lynching question.) We see 110 reason why this conference should not become national in its interests and its influence, and as citizens of Montgomery, we see no reason why Montgom ery should not become its annu al home." The committee has published an official account of the meet ing thus held, iu which it 1 said : "It is intended that tiic con ference shall be as representa tive as it can be made. The de bates will necessarily be occas ions f a certain amount of con troversy, but this controversy, expressing the honest, though conflicting, opinions of our own section, will not be the contro versy which is embittered by sectional prejudice. The very freedom of debate will not only command feu the conference the confidence of all classes of our people, but will bring the ablest to realize that this is a fair op portunity for the advocates of every serious measure for telief. In such an arena, guarded so far as possible with scrupulous fair mindedness from every abuse of the privileges of debate, the truth must ultimately prevail. There must result the broader education of the public mind both North and South in the facts of the case and in the bet ter understanding of the leme dies suggested. "While it is intended that the conference shah remain strictly within the control of Southern men, and while most of the speakers will be selected from the South, it is hoped that two or three men from the North who have given this question serious aud helpful consider ation, may be induced to be 1 resent as our guests."
