stature makes him notable at first sight

1.-TWO of the most singular figures in Phlia-
dephia bave but recently passed away" said
O. L. Pierson of that city yesterday. ''They
were the Wistar brothers, and Richard. the
last OF the two, died a couple of weeks ago,
while bis brother Lewis expired but few
weeks pr, vious. Although they were jointly
the possessors Of a fortune estimated S,000,.
000 these men wefe never known 10 indulge in
luxury OF any kind. Their fare was of th
plalnest kind, and their clothing of similar
nature, and which was never discarded until 1t
was beyond repair. Up TO a few years ago
they persistenily wore the antique swallow-tail
coat of gray and homespun Their fortune
consisted principally in real estate In the CEN
trail part OF the city, and which, although In
great demand. and for portions OF which they
were repeatedly offered fabulous sums. they
invariably refused TO sell. Their residence Is
one OF the most valuable In Philadelphia, but
the windows were never opened and the glass
never cleaned. BY the will OF the last OF the
brothers to ole it Is said that an old house
keeper inherits the vast fortune, and an only
sister Is cut oa."
almost everybody who has noticed the vari-
Gus pictures printed of the plaintiff in the Pol
la d. Breckinridg case just concluded in Wash
ington has been struck by the fact that no two
resemble each other" said M NJ. Elliott.
photograp pher Of the city mentioned, yesterday.
"1he reason for this, although very simple,
have never seen explained In print. 1t lies In
the fact that Miss Pollard has one OF those Pc
culiar heads OF hair which will admit of almost
any style OF dressing, and as she Is woman OF
varied tastes she has probably been accus-
toned to doing II UP as the mood happened to
strike her. There is nothing that will so change
woman's appearance as a radical departure
from the style Of dressing her bair in which
she Is best known 10 her friends. II you will
compare the pictures mentioned you will read
lily detect the principal cause OF the lack of
resemblance"
"Crpp- Creek bids fair to have formidable

Z. P. Fuller Of Denver yesterday. "The re-
