WOMAN WITH TWO HEADS.
The Most Singular Freak of Nature

From the Philadelphia tge. Feb. 81 |
At the Assembly Buildings, Tenth |
and Chestnut streets, there IS on eS-
hibition a wonderful celebrity styled
the Two Headed Girl. This female
duality is u years of age, was born
in North Carolina, and Is known as
Christiana and Millie.
Recently this wonder was submit

had been placed under his profes-
Fional care, and owing To the innort-
ant questions involved, n private
examination had been made by
Professors Pancost and Gross. and
Drs. Savie and Andrews. which had
verified all the opinions expressed as
to her perfect duality.
Ii was then stated that this re
markable freak of nature was united
ut the lateral posterior portion of the
pelvis, while above that point they
were separated, had separate chests,
two pairs of fully developed arms,
but only one trunk.
With the double head they pos
sessed separate intellectual faculties.

IEsEPARaBLE TWINS.

The Siamese twins are among the
most remarkably united twins the
world has latterly known. In the
year 100, Eliza and Mary Chal-
hurst were born in Kent, England,
united twins. They lived in this
condition thirty-four years, and then
one died. 1t was proposed to cut
them apart, and she was dead six
hours after her partner. Two girls
were born fastened together in Edin-
burgh, many years ago. The food
one ate nourished the other. but
often when one slept the other would
he wide awake. They lived seven
years.
In 1900 Helen and Judith were
born at Presburgh, Hungary, united
back to back. They lived twenty
three years. judith was always fee
bic, Helen always well and strong:
vet they both died at the same mo
ment. In 1856 two children were
born united as Helen and Judith
were. they are said TO be living in
Texas at this moment. They are en-
tircly different in disposition and
temperaments, and often have bitter
quarrels. Lazarus and John Color
ado. born ut Geves in 1917, lived
many years. The attached and per
fectly developed one, John, hung
with his head downwards from the
/ lower part Of the chest OF Lazarus

state Board of Education-speciaI Nj etin.

state Board of Education-Special Meeting
Pursuant to call of the president of the
State Board of Education, Hon. Thomas W.
Conway; State Superintendent, special
meeting of the board was held in his Office,
No loo Julia street, at IL NJ. yesterday, the
eleventh instant.
Present: Hon. Thomas w. Conway, State
Superintendent and president of the board;
Division Superintendent r. c. Richardson,
first division; r. X. Diossy, third division;
r. C. WHY, fifth division. and j. B. Carter,
sixth division.
In the absence Of the secretary of the
board. Rev. William Robinson, the secre-
tary of the State Superintendent, was re-
quested to record the proceedings.
The President, on taking the chair, an
nounced the object for which the meeting
was convened; then called the attention of
the board to the necessity for some action
that would enable the State and division
superintendent to carry forward and per-
feet the work of education throughout the
State, so auspiciously inaugurated, yet
somewhat embarrassed by the excitement
growing out of party feeling, unfriendly
opposition to the cause of education and
the State administration, all of which
creates an unusual demand on the educa-
tional officers of the State for great vigi-
lance and harmony of action. After briefly
reviewing the ad interim work since the last
meeting of the board, designating its sources
of embarrassment, and suggesting rene
dies for the same, the acting secretary was
instructed to read the record of the organ
ization of the parish and town boards of
school directors to date.
As each board and its several members
were named, the superintendent, to whose
division it and they belonged, made such
report as an acquaintance with their action
as school directors prompted, after which
the board adopted resolution, embodying
instructions relative to the appointment
and commissioning of school directors, for
the guidance of the president during the
recess of the board; and, on motion, adj
iourned.

ports remarkable escape of prisoner on
trial for assault and battery with intent to
kill:
Scott Waldron was up on Tuesday last,
charged with assault and battery with in
tent to kill his uncle. The case was
arraigned and the jury retired to make up
their verdict. The prisoner, who had been
heretofore on bail, was occupying a seat
inside the bar, and during the hustle and
confusion managed to make his way to the
back window of an adjoining room and
made his escape. Presently the jury re-
turned with verdict of guilty. The Judge
asked for the prisoner, but the bird had
flown. Deputy Sheriff Rails pursued him
and succeeded in capturing his hat and
horse and getting shot or two az him but
up to the present writing, he is btill out of
hearing of the sentence of the court.
