a Man with a Double heart.

When the Mercer county, Y. J., med
ical association was In session few
years ago a colored individual named
VIM. King came before them for ex-
animation. He claimed to have two
hearts, but a careful examination re-
vealed the fact that his heart was
double instead of being two separate
blood-pumping organs. Besides hav-
ing two distinct pulsations. which
could easily be felt, he had wonderful
control over his double life engine,
being able to stop its beating for sixty
seconds without Inconvenience.

statement was issued last night by
Chairman Egan. of the general man

That matter is left in the hands of

New Evidence.
New YORK. Dec. 7.-Commissioner John
]. Linson was among the earliest arri-
walls Yesterday in the old general sessions
where, for the fourth day, he presided at
the hearing of the charges of neglect of
duty made against Johr K. Fellows as
district attorney.
Shortly afterwards lawyer Louis
Philips of the German.American Reform
union entered the room and engaged in
whispered conversation with the COM
missioner. A few minutes later Phillips
was asked by reporter il there was any
foundation for the statement that the
German-American Reform union will pre-.
ware additional charges against Col.
Fellows. alleging that upon conviction

presented by the Mutual Lie Insurance
company with check Tor $4,000. Phil.
lips said:
"Yes, there is some foundation for the
story, but don't expect to open the
matter at this hearing"
Phillips declined to say whether or not
the uni n would formulate new charges
embracing the alleged payment OF $4,000
to Col. Fellows by the insurance com
pany.
Unless something wholly unexp, cted
happens the trial will he concluded to-
day. The unexpected will either come in
the shape of new evidence against Eel
lows or by his doing, what is not now
thought probable, putting witnesses or
the stand in his own behalf.

His Back Was Broken, and lie Must
Die.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-George Bahen OF
Richmond, Va. the Georgetown Univer-
sity student who had his back broken in
a football game bet ween the University
eleven and that of the Columbia athletic
club on Thanksgiving day. is still alive
and conscious. but the doctors say his
death is certain to result.
The injured boy has been told that he
will die. and has taken the news man.
fully. He has asked that no blame he
attached to any one in connection with
his injuries, but partisuns of the Univer-
sity are making the open accusations
that the Columbia men deliberately in
iured Bahen in ordc. to make him retire
from the game. and thus weaken the
Georgetown men.
Bahen's death will undoubtedly be
followed by the prosecution of certain
Columbia players, and the members o
the Georgetown alumni are urging that
criminal proceedings should begin al
once.
