Athletes Intsrestod In the Nsgctis-

NEW York, Jan. GA special to
the Herald from Cambridge, Mass.,
says: Harvard's athletes Just now are
devoting more attention TO the Har-
vard- Yale question than to actual
practice In their respective branches
OF sport. In the absence OF official
announcement OF the progress OF the
negotiations arguments for and against
games with Yale this year are heard
ON every side. The general feeling,
based on rumors anu coBleclures, hav.
Ing substantial backing Of TACT, IL
that contests between the Blue ana the
crimson will have to wait another
year and that Harvard athletics for
another season must proceed without
the stimulus given by the prospect Of
games with the natural rival at New

leading Harvard mon at the Parker
house IN May 80, 1895, 1t was voted

from her position Harvard must not

merely an expression OF Harvard sen.

dren and grandchildren from far and
near were there to join in the festivi-
ties.
1t also happened that Isaac Ashton,
Mrs. Wilson's foster father, was WIS.,
ting his son residing near Clearwa-
ter, in this county, and on learning this
Mrs. Wilson had sent a pressing in
vitation for both to be present on tho
day set for the celebration of her mar
riagc. 1t must be borne in mind that
Mrs. Wilson, having spent the greater
part of her childhood with Mrs. Doug
las in Sioux City, regarded them more
as her parents than she did Mr.. and
Mrs. Ashton. She was greatly re-
ioiced, however, to find Mr.. Ashton
and his son present. By some strange
fatality Mr.. Wilson's adopted father,
Robert Wilson, of Barnard, Mo-, also ar
rived in Mulvane and stopped over.
After the feast the old men began
to talk over the past, and it was soon
discovered that years before they had
been neighbors in Richmond, Ind.
Their talk finally drifted to family his
tory. They told of the adoption of
two children and the subsequent
changes in their respective families.
Finally it was noticed that their host
had grown deathly pale. Anxious chill
dren gathered about him and physi-
clan was sent for, the supposition be-
ing that he had fallen suddenly i'll.
That night Peter Wilson, his wife, Isaac
Ashton and Robert Wilson sat together
in the parlor and talked long and ear
nestly over the perplexing situation
There was no possibility of mistake,
however much each hoped that break
in the chain of events that linked their
lives so closely together might be found.
The naked truth was that Peter Will
son and his aged wife were brother and
sister, that their marriage was illegal,
and that in the eyes of the law in Kan
sas their children were illegitimate.
They stand awed by the startling reye-
lation and have ceased to live together
as man and wife.

TERRIBLE DISCOVERY.
Unconscious Of Wrong Brother
and Sister Married.
Foster Parents Met by Chance, and the
Horrible Truth Was Revealed on the
Occasion of a Grand Fam
lily Reuniol.

Mulvane, small village IS miles south
Of Wichita, Kan, is profoundly stirred
by the discovery that Mr.. and Mrs.
Peter Wilson, an aged couple living
there, who have children and grand
children, are brother and sister. The
discovery of this astonishing state of af-
fairs was made by Mr.. and Wilson on
the thirty-ninth anniversary of their
wedding day, on which occasion grand
family reunion was held at the old
homestead. The story and manner of
it's revelation form a chapter far more
interesting than novelists creation.
The outline is as follows:
In 1888 Alexander Taylor, his wife and
two children, located at Richmond, Ind,
having removed there from Noble coun-
ty, o. Soon after taking up their resi-
dence there the father went as volun-
teer to the Florida Indian war, leaving
his wife and two children in Indiana.
He took fever while on the expedition
and died. Mrs. Taylor died soon after,
leaving her two children, Peter and
Rachel, aged six and two years re-
spectively, to the care of strangers.
Neighbors of the orphans provided for
their immediate wants, and letters
were written back to Ohio, but no trace
of relatives could be found.
Peter was adopted by Robert Will
son, a good Baptist deacon, while Rachel
became the adopted child of Isaac Ash
ton. The Ashton family moved to
MonOna county, Ia, while the Wilson's
found a new home in Nodaway county,
Mo-
The foster parents of the children
never mentioned the fact before them
that their real parents were dead. Time
went on, and the two children grew to
young manhood and womanhood. In
1855 young Wilson went to Sioux City,
where he obtained work at the carpen-
ter's trade. He was then II years of
age. Iowa was just then swept by a
great wave of temperance enthusiasm,
and the young man joined the Good
Templars, temperance organization.
At the lodge meetings he made the ac-
quaintance of a pretty and winsome

WONDERFUL POWER.
Possessed by an Oregon Girl Who Reads
with Her Hands.

Ethel Gillian, a young girl living
with her parents some ten miles east of
Palouse, Ore, is at present the subject
of close attention on the part of doctors
and others as the result of remarkable
powers developed since her equally re-
markable resuscitation from supposed
death.
Late last fall Ethel was taken serious
" i'll. At the time she was an apparent
ly strong, robust, healthy girl with
every faculty alert. After long ILL
ness she died, so it was thought. The
body was cold and clammy and soon be-
came rigid She was mourned as dead
and arrangements were made to bury
her on the third day.
A glass case was over the face of the
child, and about an hour before the
services. while the heartbrokep mother

panied voice said: ooh, mamma, !
wish you had not recalled me. But why
is everything so black? Why do you
not light the lamp"
An examination then showed that the
child was totally blind, though every
ether faculty was perfect. Although
blind she seemed to be endowed with a
wonderful power that enabled her to
read and see by the sense of touch alone.
Although blind this girl can read by
passing her fingers over the printed or
written page, and can describe persons
whose pictures are handed to her.
The latter power was first discovered
by ]. B. Cawthorn, a photographer.
whose mother lives in Walla Walla. He
told the marvellous story to Sunday
school in Palouse City, and Mr.. Gray
and wife hearing it drove out to the
home of the girl to see for themselves
Mr.. Gray first handed the sick girl his
watch and she told him that it was a
gold watch and the time of day by pass
ing her fingers over the glass.
To make sure that her power was
genuine a paper was held between her
face and a photograph that Mr.. Gray
handed to her, and she described the
picture perfectly as that of an old gentle
man with gray whiskers, wearing a
dark suit and a cravat. She read FROM
books and papers handed to her by the
use of her fingers. Mr.. and Mrs. Gray
tell many other wonderful things in re-
lation to this child. She has now been
i'll 100 days, and has not been able to
digest any food.
