After the examination Mr.. Molloy took

the case, and thought it so remarkable that
he sent for DR.. Fields of the Manhattan
elevated railway company to help examine
the young man. To Sun reporter DR..
Turner gave the result of the examination.
He said
"Dr. Fields and have reached no decision
regarding young Molloy's condition. We
have examined him carefully, but have
learned nothing. He may be acting and be

observation. If he is acting he will soon

heat or the beating he received have had
something to do with his condition are not
true. All the heati-g in the orld could
not deprive him of those faculties, and the
heat certainly couldn't. Insanity is the
only explanation"
Mr.. Molloy is distracted over his sons

SHE GAVE AWAY "CUT PLUG.
A Young Woman Creates Sensa-
ton on Broadway.
From the New York World

From the NetU York World.
The sidewalk on Broadway, opposite the
postoftice, was blocked nearly all day yes
terday. At times the crowd was SO dense
that pedestrians were compelled to find a
passage through the mazes of vehicles.
About O'Clock woman, who was pushed
into the jam while walking down Broadway,
and who was unable to extricate herself for
fully ten minutes, complained that her
pocketbook had been stolen. No police
man was in sight, however, and she con-
tiuued on her way TO the to the Corrlandt
street ferry. Fifteen minutes later two
policemen stood together on the curb Just
outside the throng, but they made no at
tempt to clesr the way.
The cause of all the commotion and the
blockade of the sidewalk, which continued
for hours, was e scheme for advertising a
certain new brand of tobacco. A stand
stood on the sidewalk on which were thou
sands of small sample packages holding two
or three pipefuls each. The principal inter
est, however, centered in beautiful young
woman who was giving away the samples.
Sac was dressed in a gorgeous spring COS
tune, very light and very gay, with an ex-
pansive hat, in which glistened all the colors
of the rainbow. A man beside her pushed
the small boys away and assisted her gem
orally.
The spectacle Of a handsome young
woman, attractively dressed. standing on
Broadway and giving away samples Of
''cut plug" is, to say the least, an unusual
one. To express the situation mildly, she
created decided sensation. Men elbowed
each other and pushed and scrambled to
secure one of the samples from her dainty
and bejewelled hands. The newsboys and
bootblacks were fairly wild, and they kept
front places in the tbrong for hours,
clamoring for tobacco. Many Of them had
dozens of packages apiece. One citizen of
respectable appearance pushed into the
crowd to see what the excitement was all
about when he was pushed to one side by
the man, who seemed to be acting In the
capacity of "bouncer," with the remark:
"This is the third time you've been here.
How much of this tobacco do you want,
anyway
The citizen Indignantly denied that he
was attempting to accumulate stock of free
material for smoking, but he lost no time in
escaping in the crowd, while the small boys

Open the Streets.

Editor Morning Nssos: notice your
comments in the MORNING NEWS Of yester.
day on opening streets, and I fully agree
with you. Council can gain nothing by
waiting, and to hope for the iaud owners TO
lower their prices is a simple piece of folly.
Council had an opportunity few years age
to get most OF the streets for q mere song
and refused to take them on account of the
price, and to-day you can hear our council.

TWO SISTERS JOINED TOGETHER
A Phenomenon in Europe Like Mile

From the London Telegraph.
A remarkably interesting phenomenon
was shown this afternoon at the Office of the
Figaro newspaper to very limited number
OF specially invited guests, comprising the
most distinguished medical men of the
metropolis Among the laymen present
were Lord Lytton, III. Alexandra Dumas.
NJ. Ludovic Halevy. NJ. Munkacsy, M. Ger

Senior Ruiz Gorilla and M. Clemenceau. The

all over Europe. Millie- Christine, however,
had only one stomach, SO that the two
sisters experienced the feelings of hunger
and thirst at the same time. Ii is not so
with Rosa and Josepha, who, having two
stomachs, have distinct tastes in the matter
of food and drink. M. Maurice Lefevre-a

bright remarks-told an amusing story OF

one was ill the other was very angry at
having to go to bed, and insisted in keeping

different beings SO far as sensations, incli-

The children are quite pretty; they are
healthy In appearance, and they appear te

Editor Morning Nelcs: Your readers
have noticed with great interest several
communications from correspondents In
your paper on the subject of opening streets
through the southern suburbs. Your able
editorial in this mornings issue Of the
MORNING News plainly points out to our
city fathers the mistake they are making in
delay.
Savannah is undoubtedly, on the verge of
a big boom, and 1t is pity our council
should not assist this boom to the extent, at
least, of providing streets to accommodate
II. Compare the present inacuveness of
council TO that of the city authorities Of
fifteen to twenty years ago. They opened
streets. laid out squares, and spsut much
time and meaey identifying the city.
The result speaks fer itself. II the council
has any doubt about the public feeling on
this subject, let them call mass meeting
and see how clamorous will be the cry 70

BERLIN, June ia friend who has just
returned from Treves says that the citizens
are busily preparing for the reception and
entertainment Of the half million Of pill
pr,ms who are expected TO visit
the city during the months OF Septem-
Der and October next for the purpose
of viewing the holy coat Of st. Joseph. So
extensive are the preparations by these
good people, who are evidently determined
to take time by the forelock, that barracks
and cheap hotels have already been erected
by the score in the city and suburbs. and
in anticipation even of the influx OF visitors
who are expected. rents have as early as
now gone up % per cent. in some districts.
The furniture trade is better than 1t ever
has been, and all these obstetrics have to be
equipped, aud companies are being formed
to furnish beds and even provisions on the
hire system. To add to the elaborateness OF
the preparations 1t may be added that new
railroad lines have been built on the left
bank of the Mosslle, which are to be de-
voted exclusively to the use Of these pill
grims and their excursions. 49,

Rumors About the Cabinet

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-The Evening
Star, in discussing probable changes in
cabinet, says that in few days Attorney
General Miller will retire from the de-
partment of justice and be assigned to a
circuit judgship. This is said to be set
tied fact. Secretary Noble will be trans
fered from the interior department to sue
coed Mr.. Miller. 1t is declared that General
Clarkson has for long time desired to
he at the head of the interior department,
and will be given that position. With
the retirement of Indianas representa-
tive from the cabinet, it becomes highly
probable that General Lew Wallace will
be given the war portfolio.
