As ALIKE As TWO PEAS.
Twin Brothers at wesleyan University
who Can't Re Told Apart.

MIDDLErowS, Conn, Nov. 30.-Arthur and
Archer Young Of New Britain. twin brothers
who are as alike as two copper cents or as the
proverbial peas in q pod, entered Wesleyan Uni
versity this autumn in the freshman class, and
the difficulty Of distinguishing them has led to
no end of mistakes. The Young brothers say
that the joke, being to them Of about twenty
years standing. has become o trihe old.
In college chapel they sit next to each other,
and II one Of thep happens to cut" the chapel
monitor. whose duty Is to record absences. has 10
flip up n cent TO decide which Of them he shall
mark absent. Both, twins are on the varsity
football team. and though they are not heavy,
they have distinguished themselves as
being abont the pluckiest players on the
eleven. They wear similar bandaees
their sleeveless jackets are alike stained with
the blue dye Of their Jerseys. The. other day. in
s~crimmage, and one Of the twins fell on It.
Archer was playing half back on the varsity.
and Arthur was lined up on the scrub. doubt
It once arose In the mind Of Coach Steele as to
which side should have the ball. that function
yry. like everybody else. being unable to dis
anguish the twins. Accordingly he ran up, TO
the man who was ,scrambling 20 his feet with
the ball. and asked In a loud whispers.
Say, which Young are you. anyhow. var

One of the brothers had an entrance condition
In some branch of his preparatory work and q
date was set for the special examination. The
brother who had the condition marked against
took the examination and passed IL with flying
colors- This happened because a mistake was
made originally In charging the wrong twin
with q condition.

AFTER MAYOR sCHIEREN NOW.
His Mild Excise Policy to he Fought By
the Law enforcement League.

- A""
Senator wolfert Is likely to second all efforts
which Senator Bradley may make TO have the
Lexow committee extend its Investigations TO
Brooklyn. but unlike his associate from Kings
county. he does not desire TO have its work con-
fined TO the overha Iling of former Democratic
administrations TO the exclusion Of the present
reform Government.
Senator Wolfert, II Is said, Is even of the
opinion that the committee could discover some
weak points In Mayor Schieren's administration,
aud that the Civil Service Commission would
afford a fine field for Official inquiry. 1t is al
legged that Mayor Schieren has allowed the
alleged abuses In the Commission TO continue,
although his attention had been repeatedly d.
rected to them, and that the wicked Democratic
managers still virtually control for their own

Rev. A. @. Dixon, the President OF the league,
and George i. Elliott, its counsel, have sx-
pressed their determination to hight the matter
out 10 the end, regardless OF what the political
effect may be either 20 Mayor Schieren per-
sOnAlly or TO the Republican administration. A
member Of the league said
There Is no question whatever that Mayor
Schieren deserves the thanks Of the community
for giving Brooklyn In q great many respects
the cleanest and most honest administration Ii
has had for q long time, At the same time there
has been no change whatever In the excise
policy. That Is Just as loose as II has ever been.
The sunday law Is hAgTantly violated. and the
police following out Mayor SchieFen's policy
make no attempt whatever 70 enforce It. The
saloons are open on sunday from one end OF the
city To the other, and IL Is no wonder that the
saloon keepers voted sOlidly At the last election

Instructor In the Y. NJ. @. A. gymnasium Of
Brooklyn, who performs this feat himself. Mr..
Godfrey's mishap must have been caused by the
slip OF q foot from the shoulder.
IF ut the moment of jumping" said DR..
Howe, the Rymnast's foot clips, either over the
shoulder or Oft the side. the result would be that
he would not throw himself over, and the turn

that this was probably what occurred In the
case of Mr.. Godfrey. When. he landed, his
weight, pressing on the back of the head. would
force It forward. and would rupture the lisa.
inent separating the odontoid process. q pointed
bone in the back Of the neck, from the apart
ment through which the spinal column passes.
The odontoid process would then crush the
spinal cord, causing almost instant death. Ihave
never heard Of another case exactly like IL, but
one somewhat similar occurred in this city about
four years ago, when a young man. in endeavor-
ing to turn n back somersault from the floor,
broke his neck. This Is a more dangerous feat
than the somersault from the shoulders, the
latter, giving the gymnast plenty of time to
turn"
Mr. Godfrey was 25 years old and was q mag
nifcently proportioned man. He was the model
for Kitson's statue of the ideal American stu
dent exhibited at the Worlds Fair.

thirteen Of their number were dragged down
