A QUEER FAMILY.
Seven Children Who Have Very Peculiar
characteristics.

characteristics.
AMunson (Pa.) dispatch to the Phila.
delphia Inquirer says: People in this
locality claim to have among them the
queercst family as to physical peculiar
ity in the whole country. Jacob HERS,
a farmer in moderate circumstances,
has seven children. The oldest is six
teen, n bright boy, but having thirteen
fingers and thirteen uoes-seven on one
hand and six on the other, his toes be-
ing similarly divided. Next to him is
another boy, fourteen years old. AS
long as this boy is quiet no one would
suppose he had any peculiarity, but the
moment he opens his mouth to talk he
loses all control of his hands, arms,
feet and legs, and they jerk and thrash
and kick around as if they were hung
on wires.
The boy is as slow of speech as his
limbs are active, and in answering a
simple question it is no uncommon
thing for his legs to have carried him q
rod or more away before he is able to
articulate yes or no. The boy docs not
seem to mind his afTliction. and not only
does not hesitate to respond or try to,
when he is addressed, but is always
ready to begin a conversation on the
slightest excuse. He can be seen al
most any day arguing with or explain
ing some point to some companion, who
is kept constantly busy either in avoid
ing the involuntary kicks or blows of
the boys sprightly feet or hands or in
following him briskly to keep the run
of the subject.
The third child is Il girl, who is
hunchbaclr and a dwarf. She is twelve
years old. A boy next to her is deaf
and dumb. The fifth child has a bright
red birthnarl1 cncircling her neck like
piece of red flannel. 1t is an inch and
half wide. The other two children are
twins, three months old-a boy and a
girl. The boys head is covered with
hair enough for q grown person, while
the girl hasn't the sign Of hair upon
the head, the little poll being as white
and shiny as q billiard ball. The girl
is fat and the boy lean. When the boy
laughs the girl cries Justify, and when
his little sister is merry the boy sheds
tears and yclls.
Every one of these seven children is
handsome and mentally bright. Mrs.
HERS is a finc-looking woman, and her
husband is sound physically and men
tally.

Tragedy Mt Wounded Knee.

Conc of the results of the fight struck
me as being peculiarly horrible" writes
an eyewitness of the combat. '"rhc
battle was about ovcr-only an occa-
sional shot being fired away in the dis
tance-when two women, one old, the
other young, appeared on the field from
some place Of concealncnt and began
looking at the bodies of the dead of their
race. They would have been shot had
it not been for the interference of an
officer-Licut. Sickles. As rapidly as
possible they moved from corpse to
corpse (the wounded were but fcw) and
when near the PROSTATE line of waiting
soldiers they found those whom they
sought-their husbands. Low walls of
anguish followed recognition. The old
woman, mother of the younger, was
bending over her husband when the
daughter deliberately approached from
behind, covered her mothers eyes with
her left hand and then cut the maternal
throat with n keen knife she had in her
right. Before any of the spectators
could say or do a thing the girl threw
off her bright plaid shawl, shook back
her long hair, md with the bloody blade
severed her own jugular vein"
Impaired Eyesight.
The number of persons in town who
wear eyeglasses is astonishing; the
number of children wearing them is ap-
palling. a large proportion of the pu-
pills in the higher classes of tho public
schools, says the New York Sun, are
obliged to wear glasses, particularly in
the Girls' schools. Pickering gaslight,
long hours of reading and study, and
badly-liGhtcd clagsrooras arc among the
causes Of eye weakness with the young
people, but the amazing spread of the
reading habit is at the bot4or1 Of the
general trouble. As an oculiSt ex-
presses it: "Wc orc oil taking up the

Milwaukee Receives Bad Rem
in Its Record.

Before the game was we'll started on
Tuesday Martin Duke had to give way
to Mitchell. Yesterday he was lat
himself" and in consequence the by no
means weak Milwaukee team looked
like lot of amateurs beside the Millers.
Duke surprised even himself by giving
but one base on balls. Minneapolis
played a good game behind him. and
hit nicely. Nickery was touched I'D
ViciOuSly at oppOrtune moments. His
support was trifie autumn-hued, too.
The MillerS did great work on the bases,
Ward catching everybody with his
Sprinting and sliding ability. After the
fifth inning Milwaukee seemed to be
weak in the heart, and MINNEAPOLIS
galloped in a winner by eight lengths.
1t was pretty game up to the sew
enth inning, when Minneapolis spiked
victory down by scoring three more. Up
to the seventh the score stood ) to 2.and
up to the fifth even up. Milwaukee scored
one in the first and Minneapolis one in
the second, then both rested until the
fifth, when Harrington'S wearers of the
black got in three, while Cushman's
athletes scored one. Burke scored the
one in the first. lie got pretty hit to
center and took second or a wild pitch.

run in the second. He got a
base on balls. stole second and
came in en- Tredway's neat single over

Minneapolis got their four. McQuaid
was hit by pithed ball and Ward got
base or balls. McGlone popped up
one which fell back of third. Alberts
might have reached it had not Sehoch
got in his field. Hits by Shugart, Min
nehan and Darling did the rest. Mil
waukees last run, scored in the fifth,
came in on singles by Alberts and
Petit and sacrifice by Burke. The

on combination of clean hits and
errors. The score:

fought battle today playing a game
that ought to win anywhere. Hart was
in the box and pitched a clean game,
keeping the hits we'll scattered. De-
wald was little wild and his support

the first inning each got three runs

Scheibeck's grounder, four balls for Nor

NORRIS PARK, June 10.-The meeting
was continued here to-day before a
crowd of at least 5000 persons. The
weather was all but perfect, the track
was in first-class condition, and the pro-
gramme presented was a good one, con
sisting of the All Breeze and Belmont
stakes and four other races. The pro-
posed race TO beat the mile record has
been abandoned because trainers were
loath to ask so much of their horses thus
