SHE JUMPED THE BRIDGE.
Mrs. Clara M'Arthur Took a
Risky Method to Earn
Money

Mrs. Clara Macarthur, the
young woman who attempted to
jump from the Brooklyn Bridge
ten days ago. but was prevented
| from doing so by the police,
dropped Of quietly in the dark
ness at $3.50 Wednesday morning
aud she is now lying at Hudson
Street Hospital, New York City;
a prisoner under formal charge
of attempted suicide. Although
when she was picked up she was
Unconscious, she had apparently
entirely recovered from the eff
fects of her jump by 7 o'clock.
The latest bridget jumperseens
to have been moved to the feat
not SO much by desire for noto~
riety as by her wish to earn a
living for her husband, who is a
railroad man out of work, and
her s year>old child. The man
has been without work for some
time, and the family has been
living in poverty. Meanwhile
as the rent fell behind and the
cupboard grew barer, according
! to the story she told when arrest
ed by the bridge police on max
ing her previous attempt to jump,
her mind had been inf1amed by
persons who told her how easily
she could earn SIoo a week by
jumping from Brooklyn bridge
and afterward appearing in a
museum.
Mrs. Macarthur was driven on
the bridge in a furniture van
from the Brooklyn end at about
$40 o'clock. She was dressed
in mans clothing, consisting of a
pair of trousers, blue WOODEN
sweater, covered with a common
blue jumper, stockings and heavy
shoes. The stockings were much
too large for her ard were filled
with sand i'll order to give the
necessary weight to her feet and
prevent her from turning over
in the air.

ST. ANN'S CATHOLIC CHURCH

St. AIMS Roman Catholic church,
located on the corner of Broad and
Albcmarle streets, in this city, an IL
lustration of which will be found on
another page ofthis paper, was built i'll
1888. At that time, there were only Il
very few Catholics III Edentou, and the
prospects for the erection of a house of
worship were very discouraging, but
the zeal and christian devotion of Mrs.
Mary E. Richardson and the Misses
Heath overCame the obstacles. The
lot, upon which the edificc now stands
was donated by Mrs. Richardson The
brick of which it was built were made
upon the lot by Messrs. Richard Keogh
and Joseph Godfrey, the contractors.
The cornerstone was laid in July IS
by Rt Rev. p. N. Lynch, then Bishop
OF Charleston, SC. upon which occa-
sion lie preached AL eloquent sermon.
Since that time several learned Priests
have visited Edcnton, among them

THE SIAMESE TWINS.
SOME OF THEIR DESCENDANTS
LIVE IN THE NORTH CARO-
LIMA MOUNTAINS.

a few miles from Mount Airy,
N. c., were the homes Of the
famous Siamese twins, Eng and
Chang, who were born in Siam
of Chinese parents in 1911.
THESE twins travelled all over the
world in charge of their mana
ger and proprietor, Mr.. Bunker,
whose name they finally ass
sumed, as told by the Flemings-
burg 7,mes>Dfmocrat. They
came at last into Surry county
sightseeing. hey declared
that 1t was the grandest country
they had ever seen, and, having
already made a decent fortune,
they decided to buy property and
settle permanently in Surry.
They met and fell in love with
Miss Adelaide Yates, of Wilkes,
an adjoining county. Miss
Yates was in an awkward pre-
dlcament, beloved by both, but
neither could tell of his affection
without the other hearing it.
Finally the matter was settled bv
Miss Sallie Yates, a sister of Miss
Adelaide, conscnting to become
the bride of one and Miss Adc~
laide the other.
The parents Of the Misses
Yates strenuously objected to the
double marriage, but the young
ladies were not to be deferred, so
they eloped, met their lovers on
the bank of little stream on the
roadside near their home, and, a
preacher being present, they were
quietly married. The two
couples settled within two miles
of Mount Airy, and for several
years lived together. Owing to
domestic quarrels, however, two
homes were found necessary, and
each built a comfortable home.
They lived alternate weeks at
each others homes and each
raised a large family of children,
some OF whom still live and are
among the most prosperous and
highly respected people in Surry
county. They were probably
the most wonderful of all human
phenomena.-They lived to an
advanced age, and were clever,
law>abiding men. tits said that
they would sometimes have their
little quarrels, and one would
threaten to kick the other over
the fence. In 1874 Eng, who
had been in failing health, died
very suddenly.-I II d deed, on
awakening one morning his
brother, Chang, found that Eng
had died during the night. Ply
slclans were summoned, but be-
fore they arrived Chang had died.
and they were buried as they had
lived. side by side.

Not up With Their Regulations.

A cable dispatch from Lon
don says: All except the most
depraved cynics will grieve to
learn of the sad indictment of the
St. Bernard dogs, which are sup
posed to be trained to rescue be-
lated travellers in the Alps.
These noble beasts, which every
body has been told possess hdel>
ity more than human, have been
accustomed to treachery by cer-
tain nountaineers. Thus one
traveller writes:
81 was approaching the sums
init of Piz Vanguard in com pany
with a friend when a huge St.
Bernard met us on a narrow path.
With a very transparent assump-
ton of good feeling toward us the
brute ran at us and tipped u,
over the ledge. Providentially,
the next ledge was near and we
fell softly On the snow. Then
the fendish ingenuity Of the
brute became apparent. Instead
of attempting our rescue, as the
dogs in foolish old legends do,
this great cur busted himself
with the luncheon basket, which
had burst with the impact, and
ate our cold chicken, while we,
with some deft alpeustock work
at length retrieved our safety
