NOW ON EXHIBITION IN THIS CITY NEAR POST
 OFFICE.
A TWO- HEADED WOMAN.
She Talks to Two Different People At One Time Upon Different Sub
 jects and Sings Duets.

She will entertain her visitors every afternoon and night this week.
 Of all the curiosities ever un- earthed by the immortal Barnum, none can compare in the most min ute degrees with Millie Christine, daughter or daughters which ever the fastidious please--of the State of North Carolina. Here we have a lady with one body but two distinct minds borne by two separ- ate heads. All the intelligent peo- ple can bear witness to the marvel ous intelligence which predomin- ates in both brains; the conversa- tional powers of the two heads at once in communication with two different persons upon different topics, would sufficiently testify to it. But the marvel did not stop here; some of the sweetest duets in the language of music were sung by a high soprano and pure contralto. It may be added that this extra ordinary trunk has two pair of per- feet legs, terminating i9 symetrical and very pretty feet, add that mov- ing upon their pedal extremities the trunk exhibits the very poetry of motion. Ire polka, the mazourka, the schottische are delineated by these two pretty pair ot feet, in perfect time and harmony, and the spectator is rewarded not only by one smile, as n the case of ordinary young ladies but by two distinct i smiles, winked at by two pair of sparkling and roguish eyes. There are lots of people here and else where, always ready to strain at
 tbe smallest knat and swallow the
 biggest, who will doubtless put this lady down as outside the pale of or dinary humanity. If this prejudice
 should carry anyone so far as 10
 avoid her, they alone will be the i losers. We can testify that no one
 of ordinary intelligence can be in
 her com pany for half an hour with out yielding to the charm Of her
 manner and the fascination Of her
 double smiles. We candidly admit
 that we were fascinated and that we
 immediately lost sight of the phe-
 nomenon and become overpowered 1 by the influence of this dual brain. The eminent medical men of tue 1 United States testify that this re- markable f-eak of nature is united
 at the lateral posterior portion ol the pelvis, while above that portion
 they are separated, having separate
 chests, two pair of fully developed
 arms but olly one trunk. WIth the | double head they possess separate intellectual faculties as entirely distinct as in the brain power of two different individuals, while their faces indicate to remarable Idegree intelligence of high order fa..4<a a1s<...... 1 [ "

THE RECITAL
A Delightful Entertainment at the Presbyterian Church Last Night

The organ recital and musical concert given by the Presbyterian choir at the First Presbyterian church Wednesday evening was largely attended and was delight ful success.
 Mrs. Langford and the members of the Presbyterian choir deserve great credit for the success of their entertainment, who have adopted this method for raising money with which to frescoe the interior of their church next summer.
 The public also testified their ap- preciation of the effort by turning out in large numbers and patroniz ing the concert. An audience of at least 800 was present.
 The musie-loving public also ap- preciate the services of the Little Rockians, Misses Cowpland, Hamil- ton and the Misses Bum, and Mr. M. J. Panther, in contributing to the success and pleasure of the occasion.
 The program was carried out in in detail except that Miss Hamilton took sick and was forced to leave the church but her place was admir- ably supplied by Mrs. Diiley. The program was as follows 1-Marche Funetre. Ratisle

 Mrs. Langford.
 Without making special mention or inyidious distinctions, let it suf- flee to say that the entire program was highly appreciated and each feature was heartily applauded. However, it is but justice to state that at the conclusion of Miss Cowpland's violin solo she was so loudly encored that she was forced to respond with anotLer selection, playing very sweetly, Alice, Where Art Thou?"
 Miss Anderson's recitation was also pleasing feature. She is an accomplished elocutionist and a graduate in Delsarte. Her gestures are very graceful and pleasing. Mrs. Langford agaln demnnstrat- ed her complete mastery O the mel odious pipe organ, and her selec- tions and accompaniments were highly enjoyed.
 Those who were present at the concert last evening will hope for an early return of the occasion.

Los Angeles started out yesterday morning
with Pete Neal as boatman, and brought in
a splendid catch of these toothsome fish
The fish are found in very still and clear
water, and the fishermen could watch their
bait and see the fish come to 1t. Mr.. Vo-
gels entire catch was thirty-seven bass,
three white fish and three yellowtail.
Miss McNab, Miss Todd and Mrs. Rhodes
were out this morning, and in three hours,
between and o'clock, caught sixteen bass.
The ladies say the fish were very fastidIous
as to the kind of a hook they would he
caught on. and one hook took two-thirds
of the entire catch. The magnetic hook
was passed around among the tlsherwomen
until all had had turn at It.

POMONA REPUBLICANS
Are Trying to Find Out What Hi
Them

| POMONA, Sept 16.--The Republican
delegates came home last evening and
have been hard at work ever since trying
to explain things. Fleming and Broughton,
two Of Pomona's aspiring young lawyers,
| tried to show the boys how to play politics
and ran around like gentlemen cows after
red rag, trading for everything and any
old thing; in fact, the Pomona delegation
! had so many bosses and SO many trading
propositions, offering even in one WELL
known instance to trade with opposing
candidates and entering into agreements
with them to do SO within five minutes of
each other, that the other delegations soon
became leery. In regard to the Barnes
fight, the majority of the delegates are out
spoken in their denunciaton of certain
coterie of the delegation which was instru-
mental in throwing him down. They do not
blame anyone else and state emphatically
that the home delegation Is entirely to
blame; that the convention actually tried
to force Barnes on to them, when e. M.
Keller and one or two others started out on
their campaign Of negotiation among the
Los Angeles delegates, stating that Barnes
was not fit for the job and that the Pomona
delegation was all split to pieces. 1t is, in
QeeQ, currently reported tnat heller OF
fered to bet $40 that Barnes would be beat.
Next to Keller, Ed Fleming Is coming in
for the severest criticism, It being claimed
that he was pledged to several opposing
candidates and that all camps claimed him.
These two gentlemen will probably retire
from politics for the present. Why the
delegates failed to vote for Barnes as
unit, after positively agreeing to do so
here on Saturday night, is what our Re-
publican stay-at-homes want explained.
Why the supervisorial figth should have
been carried on to the detriment of the re-
corder deal also needs the appointment Of
an Investigating committee. Pomona Re-
publicans are sore-sore at the betrayal
within the camp. Thus our Republican
friends at this end Of the county get moth
ing and are actually afraid that some fell
low will drop in from Los Angeles and run
away, with the justiceship.
The Mcguire club will meet tonight at
McComas hall. and there is some talk of
reorganizing, in order to better secure a
fusion organization. There Is no doubt the
fusion forces will put up a strong fight
If the right men are selected 10 handle the
local campaign.
Captain A. d. Thatcher is being brought
to the front by his many friends here for
