Two Remarkable Old Women.

Two remarkable old women live at Balm
bridge, Ind. They are Lucinda Mckee
and Martha Ann Darnell. They are twins,
eighty-one years old, look exactly alike,
dress alike, were married within year OF
each other and were widows within three
months of each other Mrs. Darnell is the
mother of fourteen children and Mrs. Nc
Kee of sixteen. They take great interest
in politics, and were very active on the
Democratic side in the Cleveland Harrison
campaign. They attend the Baptist church
together, weigh 100 pounds each, and are in
good health and unusually energetic for
their age.

Pre,,dents of the United States.

The United States government is 102
years old, but the first half OF its existence
was covered by the administration of only
one-third of the presidents. 1t is an odd
fact that twice as many presidents have
been in Office during the last half Of our
national existence as during the first half,
though two have been reelected. Six were
reelected in the first half and none died in
Office, while one (Harrison) died in the
middle year and three have since died in
Office, thus making the average terms since
lS41 only half as long as before.

endure. He is ninety years old, has out
lived every one on whom he had any claim
and was recently found on the pavement
in New York city, where he had lain all
night, literally dying Of hunger. II takes
so very little to keep him alive that, &C
cording to the testimony produced, be had
lived for years On something less than the
daily equivalent Of an average schoolboy' s
lunch Yet he had lived, and at last 40
counts babe fair TO live some years longer.

entirely Inadequate for its uses. The white
marble structure, 2l6 feet long by los feet
deep, three stories high, in the Italian
style, symmetrical and digniied in build,
cost just $500, 600 when erected in the years
from 1903 to 1912. It is the most perfect
public building architectura1ly in the
city. Great was the pride the city fathers
of years ago had in this beautiful struc-
ture, yhen its pretty portico, with the
flight shining marble steps, looked out
on the green fields. 1t was in the TRAN

HOGS,

The hog market was exceptionally lively
for Monday, and although the receipts
were not large some splendid stock was in.
The market opened strong with the buyers
eager for hogs, because they were short on
Saturday. The tops sold for S4.7216,
which were indeed fine, and bulks ranged
from S450@460.
