RAUM. * George E. Lemon, the pension attorney, was before the Raum investigating committee to- day. Mr. Lemon testified that he had never recommended to Commissioner Raum the ap- pointment of any person in his employ. He did not recall in his whole career ever having Tecommended any person to any com- missioner of pension, save Mr. Whelpley, whom he recommended to Commissioner Tanner, but Whelpley was not appointed. He had never spoken to Commissioner Raum about the appointment or promotion of any person, and had never directly or indirectly requested any other person to secure an appointment from the pension office. He employed 90 to 100 persons; and in his twenty-five ior 7 tice asa ion atto: 10} 200 and $00 different persons. ee eee On cross-cxamination by Mr. Cooper Mr. Lemon said Whelpley had been in the pension office before coming into his employ. During got a leave of absence, the last campaign and at Gen.

Of the thirty test cases submitted by Mr. Lemon, the evidence shows only 15 per cent of them were completed in fact.’ He explained that of the 115,455 claims put in under that order witness had only 8,110. He certainly had more than one-fourteenth of the claims before the pension office. A man named Stevens, an outside attorney, filed 3,153 claims under the order and_from sixty to eighty thousand of the claims filed had been put in by attorneys ontside of Washington. He said he had never tndorsed any note for Gen. Raum except for $12,000 with the Bank of the Republic, never procured any money for the general at the Citizens’ National Bank, for Gen. Raum had been a depositor there’ for years and whatever accommodation he got was on the strength of his indorsers, who were ‘ong the best men in the city. Gen. Raum never came to witness to secure the discounting of any paper. He declined to give the amounts of notes discounted by the Citizens’ National Bank, but offered to give the names of the in- dorsers.

The Singular Case of a Man Who Felt Un- naturally Sleepy. From the St. Pau! Globe. Aremarkable case of suspended animation occurred recently. Andrew Oleson is an iron handler, employed until recently by the St. Paul Foundry Company. Some months ago he complained ef an uncontrollable desire to sleep at all times and he was frequently seen at his work in a half-awake condition. This pee liar affection grew on him until he was com- velled to throw up his position and submit to medical treatment. He returned with his wife andone child to Ean parents reside, care ofa physician who had brought him safely through the ills of childhood. Oleson seemed to derive some benefit from the treat- ment he received, and on November 1, consid- ering himself cured, he returned to St. Paul and was employed during the past week in the performance of numerous odd jobs about the residences of Summit avenue people. Wednesday night he returned home and com- plained of a return of the old symptoms. Mra. Bicson preparod a warm meal for him, of which he ate sparingly and retired to bed. When Mrs. Qleson endeavored to wake her husband c- day morning the was horrified to find him rigid, cold and apparently dead. Dr. Bole was called and he declared after a brief examina- tion that the man was alive. Various methods were resorted to in the effort to effect resusci- tation, but. the body remained rigid. At 6 o'clock in the evening an electric current was applied at the soles of the feet and the effect was immediate. The man’s limbs began twitch nervously and in about thirty seconds he drew both feet up with a jerk, his eyes and damned the doctor in Norwegian.
