This was a Queer Baby.
From the Nelo Yore World.


A curious bit of humanity, far more remark
able than the famous Siamese twins was
ushered into this world last Saturday night
The new conner. little girl, or rather q pair OF
Them was the daughter Of a German woman
who lives at No 3G2 East Eleventh street The
child died few minutes after it was born All
the individual members Of the body, with the
exception OF the head and neck were double
were well formed
The face was more than ordinarily pretty.
There were two sets of ears, one pair in the
natural position on the sides of the head and
the other pair close together marked the point
at which the two heads coalesced at the back
delcate MIN OF cutaneous tissue, original
ing at the base Of the single neck, Joined the
two bodies, each Of which was equipped with
an independent set of respiratory and digestive
organs. The extremities were unusually well
developed, The four arms had each a tiny
hand with nails and articuated joints and
through the transparent skin the delicate out
lines OF the bony structure could be seen. The
lower extremities, too, like the upper ones,
were four IN number, and each terminated in a
wellshaped foot.
There was nothing repulsive about the strange
freak OF nature. On the contrary IL was as
pretty child as one would wish to see DR.. II.
j. Holcomo, OF No. 365 Broome street, who at
tended the child took its body TO his office and
had II photographed. DR.. Holcomb has invited
a number Of experts to be present at a scientific
autopsy which he intends TO make upon the
body In few days He has already ascertained
the existence OF two sets OF brains in the crapial
cavity. This cavity, in his opinion, is separated
into two distinct chambers by thin Aim OF
bone at the point Of juncture where what
probably once was two distinct organs grew
together.
An eminent laryngolopist has carefully
looked into the respiratory tract, and by means
OF a slender silver probe he has mapped out a
perfect throat. DR.. HolcOmb will probably
present the specimen 10 the museum of one Of
the medical colleges after he has written a
scientific paper on the case which he intends To

How Does He Do It3

From the Merchant TraUe'er.
He is truly a swell il
Is easy to tell it.
He says "Ghappie" and All! there, by Jove. y
His arms at an angle
Do gracefully dangle
His style 'twould be hard TO improve.
His clothes are surprising,
His trousers Disgusting
All semblance Of legs underneath,
His tender mustaches
Drop down like eyelashes
Ger cigarettes poised 'twixt his teeth.
His manners are graceful,
He has a whole face full
OF stsreS most eXquisitely blank.
Quite the thing are his collars

The grand jury of Putnam superior court.
in their general presentments, commended
the legislature for increasing the public
school fund of this state AS is generally
the case, this jury was composed prirci-
pally of farmers. The farmers of Georgia
want the boys and girls to have a chance
for an education. So do most Of the other
people of the state. The next thing to be
done in this direction is for the public
schools to be kept open nine months in the
year, and for them to be taught by the best
obtainable instructors. Georgia can stand
the expense.

The statement is made that the recent I'M
favorable criticisms of Mary Anderson as
an actress by certain newspapers in this
country were instigated by Miss Sarah
Cecil, a Kentucky young lady who is now
in Europe, and who became jealous Of Miss
Anderson. Miss Cecil was studying the
dramatic art, and she imagined that her
instructor, with whom she apparently was
smitten, was rather more attentive to Miss
Anderson than mere acquaintance should
be. She recently sent letters to dramatic
critics in this country, attacking Miss An
derson, and in some instances inclosed ad-
verse criticisms together with checks to
pay for their insertion in the newspapers.
Miss Ceci's mind is thought to be impaired.
This is one explanation of the harsh criti-
cisms. Another is what some people call
the spontaneous cussedness" Of some
critics.

He Handles the Gavel Awkwardlv

Vice President Morton is not finding the
duties OF his position altogether pleasant,
and it is said that his blunders afford the
Senators good deal of quiet amusement He
was a member Of the House two terms, but
he did not acquire much knowledge of par
lIamentary rules. Perhaps this was because

smile may be used in speaking of the con-

not pick up with ease the forms of speech
that he should use. The Washington cor
respondent Of a republican newspaper is
authority for the statement that he appears
continually i'll at ease in the chair, that he
has to be prompted frequently by Secretary
McCOok, Chief Clerk johnson and Reading
Clerk Gilfrey, that he seems TO be afraid to

Col William W. Dudley has made two
interesting statements since he went to Ten
nessee to see who got the Doodle that the
republican national committee sent there TO
buy votes with. He says, first, that he has
obtained indisputable documentary evil
dence that Tennessee went republican last
November by about 10000 majority. No
doubt the valiant colonel reached this con-
clusion by counting thousands Of votes that
were not cast. His other interesting state
ment is that he believes that the voting Of
people in blocks of five is 1.-THE correct prin-
ciple." Nobody is likely to question the
fact that Dudley has really come to believe
this, but honest people everywhere win re-
pudiate the idea Of practice 50 corrupt

Mr.. G. W. Smally cables from London to
the New York Tribune that the news of the
nomination Of Mr. Robert r. Lincoln for
minister to England was received in that
country with respectful interest, but not
with enthusiasm. About all that English
men know about Mr.. Lincoln is that he is
son of Abraham Lincoln. He will probably
find 1t very difficult TO make himself as
popular as Mr. Phelps was-that is, if he
accepts. Reports say that he is on his dig
nifty with regard to the matter; that he re-
fuses to say what he thinks he will do, and
that at his leisure he will notify President
Harrison Of his decision.

1t is already whispered that Mr.. Darnell,
who the other day was appointed to succeed
Mr.. B. H. Hill as United States district at
torney for the Northern district Of Georgia,
will be a republican candidate for congress
next year. In fact, it is stated that he was
appointed because the President was in
duced to believe that in that event nothing
could prevent his election 10 congress-
Both Mr.. Darnell and the President are
probably doomed to disappointment.

Mrs. Mary E. Bryan, who now is tho
editor of Munro'S Magazine in New York,
had narrow escape the other day from
death. While she and some of her friends
were listening to the recitation of poem at
her residence, her 14-year old son came into
the room. He had in his hand pistol which
he had been examining. One Of the women
present asked him TO hand it to her,
which be did. At the conclusion of the
recitation, the woman, forgetting that she
held the pistol, began to applaud, and while
she did so the pistol was discharged, the
bullet passing throug her hand, and inflict-
ing severe flesh wound in Mrs. Bryan's
side. But for the fact that it struck corset
steel, thus losing much of its force, Mrs.
Bryan would probobly have been killed.

northern republican, writing from Vir-
ginia to the New York Press, says: ut is
false that the negroes in the south as
general thing are intimidated or prohibited
from the ballot box by the whites. The
ignorant negroes soon found out that they
could not live by voting, and that the gov
eminent would not feed or clothe them"
1t is quite refreshing to find an occasional
republican who doesn't feel it incumbent
upon him to ignore the truth in speaking of
colored electors in the south.

A Philadelphia correspondent of the New

maker pays the employees of his Phila-
delphia establishment starvation wages.
Here is part Of the heading Of the article
MEN and women of all nationalities
crowded together in death trap-toiling
from morning to night on piece work, and
earning barely enough to exist on" These
statements are likely to create a very de-
cided sensation. They constitute a very
serious charge which, if it cannot be
sustained, should never have been made.

Official Enterprise.

Tine enterprising coroner, who has
hitherto been a creature of the fl ntastic
ina gination CT the Western humorist.
has assumed reality in the person of
Deputy Coroner Dunbar of this city.
Mr.. Dunbar, who was, previous to
his installation in the Coroner's office,
known to f. me only as a sweet singer
of r publican campaign ballads, has
conceived several original ideas in the
pursuit of his duties as Deputy Cor
Oner. and put them in practice in the
case of Mrs. Georgia Knapp, the un
fortunate young woman who died of
the effects of her self inflicted wounds
at the st. James Hotel.
He applied the principle of business
enterprise to his office. He took pos
session of the body before life wac ex-
tinct. attempted to investigate the
cause of death before death had oc-
Cured, to secure - statement from thu
victim of suicide before there was any
suicide and to sit on body suspected
of an intention of becoming a corpse in
order to learn why such an intention
should be harbored by the corpse when
it should really become one. He also
secured the effects of the deceased
while she was still alive.
The evidence abducted in the case
so far cOnvicts Mr.. Dunbar of extreme
stiffness and unfeeiing brutality. The
visit of q coroner is unpleasant Under
any circumstances. but it is unpardon-
able that the suffering victim should
be tormented by officiousness which
indifferentIy treats living person as
a corpse.
