When his nervousness rather overcame
him he approached the guard. Il say,

Three-Legged Man With Heart Six
Times the Normal Size.

NEW YORK, July 1.-The medical and
surgical stats at Bellevue Hospital are
: rerpfexcd-aver sine case OF George LIP
| pert, the man who has three perfect
| legs.
The case is so extraordinary that DR..
Overmiller, of East Thirtieth street,
who has charge Of it, decided on Satur-
day last to hold scientific examination
Wednesday before the entire staH OF
the institution. Lippert, however, has
an eye TO business, and when museum
manager offered him an engagement he
did not hesitate to accept it. To-mor-
row he will begin the engagement.
DR.. Overmiller wished to learn, IL
possible, the explanation of the phe-
nomenon. So, before Lippert accepted
the engagement to pose as ''freak"
the doctor persuaded him TO appear at
the hospital for the benefit OF the
faculty to-day. The result OF the ex-
animation was astonishing.
1t was found that Lippert's heart was
six times the normal size. The doctors
say they cannot understand how it is
possible for a man to exist with such
an unnaturally large heart
DR.. Overmiller, after the examination
of the man, said that his heart reached
all over his breast. 1t beats as plainly
on the right side as on the left, and 1t
apparently extends the whole way
across. One after another the doctors
subjected Lippert to tests. He was
pinched, pounded and punched. II his
heart extended all through his breast,
where could his lungs and other organs
be?
1t was agreed that no satisfactory ex-
planation could be arrived at. As to
his legs, 1t is altogether likely that be
is the only ''freak" CT his kind. In
most kindred human monstrosities the
extra limb is useless and deformed. In
Lippert's case all three limbs are
good, and it is impossible TO pick out
what might be known as the extra one.
Just as an animal takes alternate steps
with its four legs, so does Lippert walk
with his three. He could outrun any
boy in the neighborhood where he was
born, he says, and he used to enter races
OF all kinds, according to his story, and
carry off the prize ''in a walk"
The doctors believe he is telling the
truth. His statements are declared pos
sible upon examination OF his physical
condition, and his three-legged races,
they say, are just as possible as his own
existence.
LipDert was born in Frankfort, Ger

ror William, an honor rarely accorded

riosity before him and gave him hand

Urges Activity In the Formation OF Demo-
cratic Clubs-The Enemy Awake.


New YORK, July 1.-Senator Calvin
S. Brice, Chairman OF the National
Democratic Committee, has written
letter of warning and advice to his fel-
low members OF the National Commit
tee The letter embodies advice In re-
gard to the Association OF Democratic
Clubs, and the necessity of the National
Committee cooperating with them.
Senator Brice begins with the state
ment that the Presidential contest Is
near at hand; that the Republicans are
rapidly preparing for 1t, and that the
Democrats cannot be too circum-
spect or too swift In arranging
to meet them. The plan OF campaign
of the Republicans, he says, IS a
colossal system OF clubs to be maintain
ed and supported by unlimited means
drawn from the pockets OF the benehc'-
aries of the monopoly policy. This sys-
tern. he urges, can only be met by an
eouallv extensive system OF voluntary
Democratic clubs-that is association OF
people in their several neighborhoodS
for the defence OF their rights and In
terest against those who are banded to
ossail them. Mr.. Brice says the truly
Democratic club has been the friend OF
liberty. The tendency at this time OF
the people of the United States TO en-
roll themselves together in neig nOor-
hood organizations Of this character Is
one of the signs of the political periIs
which confront them.
He thinks that the approaching
struggle is TO be one mainly between
clnbs, and it is greatly TO be desired
that uniform and perfected system OF
Democratic societies, thoroughly or
ganlzed and intimately associated with
each other, shall be established before
the beginning of next year.
Mr.. Brice says he has examined the
plan of organization now in process OF
successful accomplishment by the Ma
tional Association of Democratic Clubs,
and he feels it the duty of every mem
Dor Of the National Executive Commit
tee to give the club association his most
hearty support, and he urges each mem
Der of tho National Committee to CO.
operate with the Association to the full
est extent.
The work undertaken by the Execu-
tive Committee of the clubs is aoso-
lutely necessary to be done in Mr..
Brice's opinion, and in his letter he
states that an opportunity is now
presented of having it accomplished by
efficient instrumentality at minimum
cost, and that distributed over so many
localities as not to be burden to any
one community.
Mr.. Brice concluded as follows: San
important feature OF the plan is the
selection of correspondents in the sew
eral States. This now requires urgent
attention in your State. would,
therefore, ask you to confer with the
Chairman of your State Committee, as
soon as may be convenient and arrange
this particular part OF the plan; also
that you will do all in your power to
facilitate the organization in other ways
YOU may think best"

PLATE PRINTERS TROUBLES.
The Federation and Knights Of Labor
Clash on the Matter.


WASHINGTON. d. c., July 1.-The
controversy over the reappointment of
certain plate printers in the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing has resulted in
An issue between the Knights OF Labor
and the Federation of Labor. The lat
ter have represented to the Secretary
of the Treasury that compliance with
the the request of the Knights
would be an injustice to the
Federation men, whose names are
new borne on what is known as the
"chance rolf of the bureau. The fed
GRAFTON claims that the dismissed men
whose reappointment is urged by the
Knights, and who the Secretary prom
ised to reappoint when vacancies occur
should take place at the bottom Of the
"chance" list. This proposition struck
the Secretary as eminently fair and he
accordingly decided to postpone the
final decision until he could have
an Interview with Mr.. Gompers,
the President Of the Fedora
ton. The Secretary said that
the point which the delegates of the
federation raised about the chance roll
was q new one, and that it appealed at
once to his sense OF justice. Messrs.
Devin and Cavanagh. of the Knights of
Labor, called again to-day to continue
their conversation, which was inter
rupted yesterday, and they expected to
fix UP the final details of the agreement.
They were somewhat surprised when
the secretary informed them OF his de-
termination TO withhold final conclusion
until after his talk with Mr.. Gompers.
