A SINGULAR ca Sc.

\ New Jersey Negro with "a Donble Heart
tine Subject of an Intere- TIM: Eek ,nina-
ton by the Mercer County Medical So
cety.
TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 3.-The Mercer
County Medical Society devoted the batt,r
part of it's session tuesday afternoon to
the examination of William King, the
colored nan who is said to have two
hearts. He is about twenty-five years OF
age. The examination proved that he has
a divided heart, such as Is found in the
lower animal kingdom. The heart beats
perceptibly on both sides. He claims to be
able to drop his ribs like set of double
action window blinds, but when this was
done it was detected by his control of the
oblique transverse AMI rectus muscles.
He claims that he can change the locality
of his double heart, but this was pro-
nounced piece of iugglery, the result Of
long practice. He caused his hearts,
pulse and temple to cease beating for
period of sixty seconds, and the physi-
clans pronounced 1t a successful effort.
King is now in the county jail for being
drunk and disorderly. He announces
that his mother discovered his double
heart when he ives six months old.

ANDERSON-BARRETT,
The Marriage, at Boston, of Mary Ander-
sons Brother and Lawrence Barrett's
Hauphtar

The Marriage, at Boston, of Mary Ander-
sons Brother and Lawrence Barrett's
Daughter.
Boston, Jan. 3.-The marriage of Miss
Gertrude Barrett and Mr.. Joseph Ander-
son, Miss Mary Anderson's brother, was
solemnized at the cathedral here at II 80
a. m. to-day, Archbishop Williams off,
ciating. About 800 invitations were is
sued, but as many went to friends across
the water or in places almost equally dis
tant, the number of guests hardly exceed
ed the usual ''dear five hundred" but the
great size of the church was prevented
from giving spare appearance to the
assemblage by the use of screens formed
of potted plants, with which about one
third of the floor space near the chancel
was partitioned off for the ceremony. The
Invitations were accompanied by tickets,
without which none were admitted to the
edifice. The bride was attired in white
satin, en- train, trimmed with costly valen-
ciennes lace and adorned with lilies of the
valley. She wore no jewels, nor any orna-
ments other than flowers, and she carried
large bouquet. Antonio De Levarro, OF
New York, acted as the groom's best
man. The maid of honor was the brides
younger sister, Miss Edith Barrett. She
wore a gown of white crepe chine and
maids were Miss Blanche Griffin, sister Of
Mr.. Anderson, Miss Brewer, Miss Fair
child and Miss Ruth Burnett. Each wore
a wreath Of forget-me-nots and carried
bouquet of red roses. Lawrence Barrett,
the father of the bride, who had come on
by special train from, New York after his
performance last night, gave his daughter
away. j. Frank Donohue, the director
of the cathedral choir, had prepared for
the occasion special musical rogramme,
which offered several beautiful novelties.
Directly after the wedding reception and
breakfast were given at the home of the
brides parents in Beacon street. To this
only about seventy-ive of the more in
innate personal friends were invited. The
house was decorated with orchids, roses
and other choice flowers. The young
couple will take no wedding journey at
present, but trip abroad is planned for
next summer.
