TIt-Bits: In 1892 the Chester Chronicle
recorded the death, from old age, Of
Mr. John Jonas, furniture broker Ches-
ter. Deceased, who had been married
ffty-three years, had had thirty-three
children, thirty OF them twins. Fifteen
times was Mrs. Jonas the happy moth
or Of twins She survived he- husband,
and at his death was in her seventy
seventh year. From investigations made
by Dr. Corr, OF ST. Thomas Hospital.
It appears that the tendency to give
birth to twins frequently runs tn GER
tain families. and out OF seventeen
cases he found that IN thirteen there
had been previous births OF twins
among near relatives OF either the faith
err or the mother. one case OF O family
was recorded by another doctor which
showed twins IN each OF four successive
generations, namely. First generation.
\ had twins. Second generation, b.
daughter OF \, had twins. Third genera
ton, c. daughter OF 3, had twins twice
and trlplets once; d, daughter OF b.
had twins Fourth generation, h, twin
daughter OF d, had twins, a woman In
Vienna, che wife Of n weaver, Is stated
to have had thlrty-tyo children. Twice
she had four at a birth. and trlplets
four times. The proportion OF twins
IN each 1000 births Is IN England
France, Germany and Scotland, thir-
teen. and In ireland. seventeen. One
hundred and sixty trlplets aud elght
uuadruples occur In each 1000, 900 births.

London Times: The restrictive eou-
dItIons at present in force with regard
to the marriage OF officers in the Rus
sian army forbid this privilege under
any circumstances in the case OF officers
under twenty-three; between the ages
OF tweuty-three and twenty eight years
the dot Of an officers wife must amount
to a sum representing the minimum in
come OF $50 roubles yearly. on COM
parlson OF these conditions with those
regulating the same question in other
European armies, 1t may be noted that
In the Austro- Hungarian army the
number OF officers authorized 10 con-
tract marriage is limited by fixed pro-
portion assigned TO each grade. and,
these totals being reached, all further
marriages must be deferred pending the
occurrence OF vacancies in the married
establishments. The Italian army reg
ulatiOns, which fix the income of the
hancee at a minimum OF from 1900 TO
2O00 lire. would appear TO be more ra-
ti0Hal In their operation; Italian OFF,
GERS, however, apply II somewhat lib
eral interpretation to this law, with the
result that the number OF marriages oc-
curing under its actual provisions do
not exceed more than an eighth at the
total number, seven-elghths Of the Off
GERS being united under the conditions
OF the religious ceremony only and thus
exposing themselves to all the neon
veniences which attend marriage not
recognized BY civil law. Similar dlsa-
bil!ties would now appear to be incurred
by Russian officers, and suggestions
have been made by the press in Russia
that a general revision OF the law Is
becoming necessary. The question Is
assuming some Importance from the
fact that Russian officers reaching a
total OF nearly 10000 represent one OF
the most important classes in the state

tirely--situatlon Panicky.
AUSTIN, Tex, Oct I3.-The most
serious situation now confronting the
people Of Texas is the almost complete
blockading Of travel, owing TO the yel-
low fever scare. Many trains on all
the principal lines have been aban.
doned, and local lines have stopped
running entirely. Both divisions OF
the Houston & Texas Central and the
Southern Pacific have been tied up
most effectually, not single wheel
moving, save in the extreme
northern portion Of the state.
Every small town in the state is
rapidly organizing shotgun quaran-
tines, so trains cannot stop except at
the big cities. The situation in the
entire state is highly panicky, and the
feeling is one Of growing alarm and
apprehension. Unless the situation is
soon relieved, the entire southern and
central portion OF the state will be
practically without any railroad facili-
ties, as all trains will be stopped.
A dispatch from New Orleans says:
The fever situation grew no worse
here yesterday, but at the same time
there is no rift yet showing through
the clouds, and the promise is not
bright for an immediate re-opening OF
the avenues Of industry. There has
been for some time general impress
sion that the fever was confined solely
to the houses Of the poor, But 1t has
likewise found its way into the houses
of the rich, and there are handsome
mansions from which the ugly red and
yellow flags hang.
Surgeon General Wyman's bulletin
on the yellow fever situation shows
that new cases have occurred at the
following places: At Mobile, 8; Biloxi,
IL; Edwards, 10, and at Clinton, Miss,
1. At MclIenry, Miss, the total num-
Der Of cases to date has been II. At
Galveston, Tex, there were no new
cases and no deaths.
