city, says The Rochester Express,
the most remarkable couple in
the wOrld-a man and woman
who are giants in stature. They
are MIR. and Mrs. NJ. V. Bates,
whose home is now in Sevilla.
Medina County, Ohio. They are
eacn seven feet, eleven and one
halfinches in height, the husband
weighing 476 pounds, while the
wife weighs Alb pounds.
Mr. or Capt Bates, as he is call
ed, is a finely -prOportiOned man,
of ruddy, healthy-lOOking COM
plexion, straight and military
looking in his regimentals, His
immense stature is not so notice
able as that of his wife, who seems
almost awkward somehow on ac-
count of her length, she being
actually taller for woman than
he is for man.
They are intelligent, land the lady
especially feels the aWkwardness
of her position as the object of the
curiosity and open mOuIhed Won
der Of the multitude. In an IN
teresting conversation with our
reporter, she showed openly her
dislike Of the life she is leading,
and her longing to return to her,
home in Ohio. Their home, by
the way, was one built and fur
nished especially for them. The
ceilings are twelve and One.half
feet high, and no doorway is less
than eight and One-half feet high.
OF course. they find the hotel ac
commOdatiOns unsuitable for them
wherever they go, as the door
ways are so low and the beds SO
short.
