Not His Wife.

An oil man and woman registered at
the Windsor Hotel about six weeks ago
as E. H. Palmer and wife. Everything
passed along without the slightest sus-
picion being raised until last week the
man left and was gone from Tuesday till
Saturday, and the proprietors becam
uneasy about the bill due them. In tn
meantime letter came from headquar-
tiers, at Pittsburgh, for E. E. Ditman,
containing check for S25 and promise
to remit the balance in short time.
From this clue the proprietors learned
the whole story Ditman is married
man and has wife and two children in
Washington county, Pa, and the young
woman with him here was not his wife
at all. He returned Saturday and made
the hotel whole tor his bill and was al
lowed to depart. The young woman also
took her departure before the return of
her supposed nd.-Independent.

Only One Lung

A man who was at Martins Ferry the
other day has but one lung. Because of
bad case of pneumonia it was necessary
toremoye the left lung and the cavity can
be seen. The aperture at the back has
healed over, but the one in front still re-
mains. 1t is about three and half inches
long and two and half wide. Through
this orifice one may look and count the
pulsations of the heart as it beats against
the pericardium, the tissue which sur
rounds it. The cavity occasioned by the
removal of the lung is about seven inch
es long and five inches wide and reaches
from the breast to the back, and the air
can be plainly heard whistling through
the exposed end of the bronchus. The
man is about 50 years of age and enjoys
good health.
