GRACE GRIDLEY'S LONG NAP, Asleep Three Quarters' of the Tear Without Loss of Flesh or Vitality and; Resisting Attempts at Awaken ing. A most strange and wonderful case is that of pretty Grace Gridley, bet ter known as the "sleeping beauty of Amboy," who has just awakened from a nine months1 sleep, says an Amboy (111.) special to the New York Herald of Friday. Her case, first given tb the public about &six months ago through the columns of the Herald, has attracted the attention of medi cal people from all over the country and has been the subject of elaborate discussions. The marvellous feature of the case is the prolonged suspen sion of mental animation without the usual wasting of physical energies. As to the history of the case, this quaint, little' old fashined New Eng landish town has a strange story to tell. There was a great religious revival in Amboy last spring, held in the big Congregational church. Every one in Ambby who was a consistent church member attended regularly and strove hard for the conversion of those who were not. It was a time of great religious excitement a glori ous revival, they said, such as Amboy had not seen for years. Among the x&ost tireless workers was Grace Grid ley. Tall, fair, graceful, this nine-teenyear-old-girl with the earnest, handsome face, gave her whole heart to the work, doing and thinking of nothing else. ALONG REST. The strain upon her mind and nerves became greater than her strength. One evening she went home utterly exhausted. The next morning the rising sun crept through the window of her bed room and shone full upon her sleeping face, but waked her not. She did not appear at her accustomed place at the table, and when her mother went to call her she waB sleeping so soundly that the good woman said: "Let her sleep, poor dear; she must be very tired." So she slept all the morning. When she failed to arouse in the afternoon the mother attempted to awaken her, but could not do so. She became frightened and a physician was sent for, but nothing could be done to arouse the girl. With lightly closed eyes, half smiling lips, rosy cheeks, and gently heaving breast the girl slumbered on day after day and week after week, 'Th,e firt symptoms of this strange sleep appear (unnoticed at the time) about the middle of March during the revival. Grace began ' sleeping quite late mornings, contrary to her nsval habit. It was thought she was greatly; fatigued with the nervous ex citement of her work and she was al lowed ta-sleep. One day she was still w bed at" ntori, and her mother car" ried her 'breakfast up to her, think ing she must be ill. She was awaken edifati tdficulty, and although ap jJaVentl hj he'iest of health she re plied to her; mother dreamly that she did not want to eat. I ought1 not to have waked her up," she said, regretfully. The strange Remark was afterward recalled. She ate sparingly in response to urging and quickly went to sleep again. Her mother left her.Ja little troubled, but not greatly alarmed. Then came the night of great excitement, followed by complete exhaustion and the follow ing sound sleepe, from which she could not be arousod. She lay limp and motionless, but with heart and respiration normal. INKKFKCTUAL ATTEMPTS TO ROUSB THE SLEEPER. Dr. Traversi who, was called in, was unable to make a satisfactory diagno sis. Aeff orts to arouse the girl were futile. On the third .day Sr. Travers decided to try the effect of a galvanic battery. The electric current was turned on stronger and stronger, the eyelids of the sleeper sudily quiv ered, she moved restlessly, and then the t pell fell and she sat up. She ex pressed no surprise, but talked natu rally and without the least emotion. She saidhe had been conscious all the while and knew all that took place in the room. She Buffered nc pain, she said, except just as she awoke. , " "I oughn't to have awoke " Bhe said again, strangely, and with that she ceased speaking; and became drowsy. Her head dropped on the pillow and her eyes closed. Dr. Trav ers immediately reapplied the bat tery. "Don't, don't," she murmured, as if in great pain, "you'll kill me kill me don't !" And she sank away, fast asleep. In vain the physician turned on a stronger current.strongtr and strong eras strong as he dared. It was useless, and he ceased the attempt. Once since then she awoke. It was the next day. Mrs. Gridley was alone in the sitting room below, when Grace suddenly appeared in the doorway, apparently awake and possessed of all her faculties. She did not notice her mother, but crossed quickly to a table, upon which lay a Bible. She snatched it up in her arms and then sank to the floor as a woman faints.. She was tenderly carried back to her bed, where she has been ever since until now. A MEDICAL STATEMENT "It is a cataleptic hysteria," said Dr. Travers. "It diners from cata lepsy in this way: The muscles are rigid in catalepsy; hers are not; she seems to have a certain amount of control over them. Whenever she tired of lying on one side she turned over to the other. This is the only motion she has made. "Religious excitement is the cause of it," continued the Doctor. "I can best explain it by usiDg the word 'in trospection.' She was in that condi tion of mind when the thoughts were all turned inward 'inspection' en tirely, and she lost the last visage of interest in outward things. It is a psychological and nervous phenome non, not without parallel, but truly a remarkable, one." The same opinion was expressed by other physicians who were called into consultation. THE AWAKENING. So the days and weeks passed on with no change in the girl's condi tion. Summer faded to autumn and autumn to winter, and still the girl slept on, tenderly guarded by those around her. Suddenly last Friday a change came. Miss Grace opened her eyes with a little yawn, turned over, and looked at the nurse in a doubt ful way. She then quickly arose without a word, dressed and went down stairs, when she took her place at the table as usual. To the sur prised inquiries of her parents she paid no heed, but ate a little food. Since then sbe has been about as usual, but, strange to say, does not notice any one around her. When pressed by her mother she only an swered in guttural tones, which had do semblance to human language. She had evidently lost the faculty of articulation. Her present condition is as much a puzzle to her parents and friends, as was her long sleep. aL E E3 T Q N Eta A beautiful line just opened. Make your sel ections early.
