that Webb McNall was not appointed

the railroads are. concentrating them

We are glad that McNall is not cater.

IT is stated upon good authority that
Abe Stelnberger of this state, who pos.
ed during the recent campaign as a
middle f-the road Populist, and who
used his influence against the Peoples
party ticket, has been in Washington
several weeks looking for an appoint
ment under the Mckinley administra-
ton. We hope the report is not correct;
but if it is, Steinberger should never
again be permitted, to participate in
Populist conventions or caucuses.

will be on exhibition in the annex hall
in the Grand opera house all this week
There was a large audience to greet
her last night OF all the curiosities
ever unearthed by the immortal Bar
mum, none can compare in the most
minute degree with Mile Christine. a
daughter or daughters-whicheve the
fastidious please--of the state of North
Carolina. Here we have a lady with
one body, but two distinct minds,
borne by two separate heads.
All the intelligent people who saw her
can bear witness to the marvellous in
telligence which predominates in both
brains; the conversational powers of
the two heads at once in communica-
ton with two different persons upon
different topics, would sufficiently tes
tify it. But the marvel did not stop
here; some of the sweetes duets in the
language of music were sung by high
soprano and a pure contralto. IT may
be added that this extraordinary trunk
has two pairs of perfect legs, terminal
ing in symmetrical and very pretty
feet, and that moving upon their ped
al eXtremities, the trunk exhibits the
very poetry of motion. The polka,
the mazourka, the schottische are de-
lineated by these two pretty pairs of
feet, in perfect time and harmony. and
the spectators are rewarded not only
by one smile, as in the case of ordi-
nary young ladies, but by two distinct
smiles, winked at by two pairs of
sparkling and rougish eyes.
There are lot of people here and
elsewhere already to strain at the
smallest gnat and swallow the biggest
camel who will doubtless put this
lady down as outside the pale of ordi-
nary humanity. If the prejudice should
carry anyone so far as to avoid her.
they alone will be the losers We can
testify that no one of ordinary intelli-
gence can be in her company for half
an hour without yielding to the charm
of her manner and the fascination of
her double smiles. We candidly admit
that we were fascinated and that we

Mrs. Shepard Accuses Her Husband of
Abducting Their Own Son-Domestic
Trouble the Cause.
Walter, the eleven-year-old son of
Mrs. Carrie L. Shepard of 10 Prospect
street, has disappeared from home and
his mother claims that her husband,
w. G. Shepard, has abducted him.
MIR. Shepard his father, was at one
time proprietor of the Shepard Chair
company on Winchester avenue Ow-
ing to domestic unpleasantness Mr.. and
Mrs. Shepard separated last spring
with the understanding that the father
should have possession of the two chill
dren. Mr.. Shepard took the children
to New York state, but after few
weeks let them return to their mother
in this city.
Mrs. Shepard now claims that the
father took Walter away again last
week. being angry because she had OPP
posed his suit for divorce brought few
weeks ago on the ground of intolerable
cruelty.
Walter was attending the DiXwell
avenue school, and his mother supposes
that the father enticed the boy away
by giving him candy. She became
alarmed at the absence of the boy and
did not know of his whereabouts until
she received a letter from Mr.. Shep-
ards sister. who lives on Ward street,
stating that the boys father had taken
him to Ohio.
It is possible that Mrs Shepard will
bring the matter to the city attorneys
attention. as it. would constitute
criminal offence if the boy was abduct-
ed out of the state, as the mother sup
poses.
