TWIN MITES.
The Boy and Girl Together Weigh
Only Pound and = Half.
(Frcm he Chirace News.O


If there is a mother in Chicago who is
bt moaning the diminutiveness of her
newly-born babe let her look to Mrs
Charles Ormsby. IS Oakley Avenue, for
consolation Mrs Ormsby is the proud
mother of twin babies that are such mites
of humanity that together they might
easily be concealed in the narrow con-
fines of a Dart cup.
Although the babies would jointly tip
the scales at but a total of twenty-fOur
ounces. Mrs. Ormsby confidently predicts
for them the full growth of manhood and
womanhood and the strength of both
body and mind which has been charac-
teristic of members of her family for
generations back.
"The dear little things" said Mrs.
Ormsby, they are so small that l lay
them across a hOt-water bag TO keep
them warm. One is a boy and weighs
eleven ounces: the other is a thirteen
ounce girl We will have them chris:ened
Josie and Josephine as soon as l can get
out. Mr. Ormsby is a plumber in the
employ of Joseph Reilly & Bro. 1889 West
Madison Street, and has named the little
boy Joseph Michael. after the Reilly
brothers We gave the girl my name
Josephine.
This diminutiveness at birth is in
herited from my mothers family. My
brother Harland True, of Canton, Ohio,
was easily put into a quart fruit jar
when he was born. Now he stands over
six feet and is heavy in proportion 1
now weigh AS pounds and am five feet
five and one-half inches tall. but | weigh
ed only five pounds when born My little
girl, Daisy, who is a pretty healthy girl
of four years, weighed scarcely four
pounds at birth. She was a twin to my
daughter. Marie Alice, who, when born.
weighed but two pounds. These babies
are the smallest l have ever seen. but
they are perfectly formed and are very
strong for ones so young. They can yell
the same as other youngsters and have
good appetites-
Proudly the mother drew back the COW
ers and revealed two bits of humanity
that looked like wax dolls. Removing her
wedding ring from hcr finger she put ii
on the little hand of Joseph. 1t slipped
past the wrist and up over the little fel-
lows shoulder.
1.-The clothes we had made for the
babes before they were born were, of
course, too large, although 1 anticipated
their being very small. So had a dress
maker across the street cut them new
gowns after d small doll-dress pattern
she had in the house.
The Joy which Mrs Ormsby IS eXper-
fencing over the advent of her wee
daughter and son is heartily shared by a
host of interested neighbors, who flock
each day by the dozen to the Ormsby
household

would not be quite fair to tell her age. but
1t may be said that she is not vet reliey-
ed from the jurisdiction of a nurse. That
she is a self-poised young woman and re-
markably self-contained. the two people
who have the honor to stand in a parental
relation TO her have quite recently discov-
cred. The story of the discovery hinges
upon gold thimble. The thimble was
lost. 1t belonged to the young lady 5
mamma. and was highly priced. Every
effort was made to recover it. Hadn't the
little daughter of the family seen il, and
couldn't she tell where it was? That
question was put to the small woman
many times, but always with the same
result negative answer. No: she hadn't
seen the thimble and she didn't know al
all where it was. Time went on, and ev-
cry now and again an effort was made TO
find some trace of the lost thimble. Fin
ally, one morning, the situation took a
new turn.
1t was not long after breakfast and
the small lady of the family turned to
her mamma and asked: Has papa

thimble, were unbouhded. workman

and spoil not the child. That the remem-

One does not envy our army II II gets
itself into any such scrape as this.
Our people are far sterner and more
terrible than the French once they are

that so long as officers of the army are

WOUNDED SOLDIERS STORY.
PriSate Gates Makes Complaint
against Pension Office Officials.

A pathetic case of neglect and alleged
mistreatment by the officials of the PEN
sion Bureau was brought to the atten-
ton of the White House employees yes
terday
Jesse +. Gates was a private in Light
Battery A, Second United States Artil-
lery, and at Santiago he fought for two
days with his command On the second
day he was struck by a piece of Spanish
shrapnel which tore away his whole
upper lip and teeth and left him in a
condition of almost absolute speechless-
ness and total incapacity for further
service On July rs his term of service
in the army expired and when he tried
to re-enlist he was told that it would be
necessary for him to be operated upon
by surgeon before re-entering the SER
vice. His officers advised him to come
to the United States and receive medical
attendance.
Gates arrived in this city from Fortress
Monroe on Sunday morning He had been
advised by his officers to apply to the
pension office for pension claim, and
accordingly, when he reached Washing
ton he Immediately called on Commits
sioner Evans to explain the situation and
ask for pension. The amount he asked
for was small.
At the Pension Office, however it is
alleged that he was treated with GOODNESS
and Indifference.
Gates. it Is said, was told that the
pension examining surgeons could not
examine him and that he had better go
to a hospital for attendance. If Gates is
examined by doctor not in the Gov
ernment service the chances of his Sc
curing pension of a fairly remunerative
amount will be diminished. He insists
that the Pension Office surgeons shall
examine him.
Disguised with his treatment at the
Pension Office, Gates called at the White
House yesterday and made an effort to
see the President The President, how
ever, was too busy to receive him, so
he addressed a letter to Mr.. Mckinley,
which he handed to Assistant Secretary
Cou Nyou. That gentleman promised to
lay his case before the President. Sew
eraI visitors at the White House interest
ed themselves in Gates's case and spoke
word in his behalf. 1t is probable that
Commissioner of Pensions Evans will be
called upon and importuned to grant
Gates some relief.

COMPLAINT OF PASSENGERS.
Cars of the City and Suburban Road
Fail to Connect.

Complaint has been made to the Dis
trict Commissioners that a cording to the
present schedule of the City and Sub
urban Railroad Company, the horse cars
frequently fail to connect with the cleo
trio cars at the junction at Florida Ave-
nue. and lexington Place. thus entailing
upon passengers much loss of time and
at times great annoyance.
The District authorities, after investi-
eating the matter and learning that the
trouble occurs frequently at night when
people are returning from the theaters
and places of amusement, have requested
O. 7. Crosby, the president of the road,
to take immediate steps to obviate any
further cause of complaint.
