We now come to the battery Of this
good ship. It consists Of two 11-inch
breech- loading guns, one forward and
one aft, mounted in the barbettes of 10
inch. armor, covered Withsa rounded
hood; ten 5.5-inch rapid fire guns, ar
ranged in broadside, but so that the
forward and after two can be fired
ahead and astern; two 2 .75-inch rapid
firers, ten of the smaller caliber rapid
fire and eight machine guns.
:, She is fitted with eight torpedo tubes,
only two Of which are submerged.
The. coal bunkers Of the Teresa, so
situated as to afford additional protec-
ton to the vitals of the ship, can
carry 1,050 tons, sufficient. to enable
the vessel to steam 9,700 miles. **
s Enough has been said to indicate
what a fine ship we are getting An
other equally good, perhaps even bet
ter, since she is of later construction
and more modern equipment, is the

TWINS OF ElcHTY-Six.
David and Aaron Peabody Are Americas
Oldest Donb1ets.

oittst DehbithH.
Niles, Mich, corr. of the Chicago
Chronicle.
There are bonds which link the life OF
humans together for scores of years. but
to very few comes the advantage of
having their lives linked from birth by a
bond of blood, stronger and firmer than
that prescribed by law. OF the few
that are so fortunate as to be bound to-
gether by the tie of blood seldom do
the lives of these two exceed the allotted
three-score years and ten. There are
exceptions. however. and in two of the
great states of the West-Michigan and
Ohio-two persons hve--twin brothers
whose lives have been linked together
for So years.
These two remarkable men. undoubt-
eddy the oldest twin brothers in the
United States. If not in the world, are
Aaron Peabody OF Charlotte, Mich. and
David Peabody Of Oberlin. Ohio.
Eighty-six long years they have borne
the battle of life. and to-day, having by
nearly a score of years survived their
allotted time, they are as hale, hearty
and happy as in their boyhood days.
They are remarkably we'll preserved
men, having possession of all their fac
uties and, with the exception of the
wrinkles and white locks of their adj
Yanced age. they give no other outward
evidence that they are rapidly APP
preaching the century milestone in their
lives. In fact, from their present APP
pearance. the aged twins bid fair to
reach that extraordinary mark and pass
a few years beyond IL.
Aaron and David Peabody first saw
the light of day on the hills of New
Hampshire on Jan. 81, 1912. They came
of parents who themselves and their
ancestors were noted for their longevity.
Their father served in the revolutionary
war and suffered much 10 secure the
much desired independence of the colo
MES from British tyranny. He was cap
tured toward the close of the war and
sent to England as a prisoner. Later he
returned 10 America and died at the ripe
old age of 50 years.
The mother of the twins passed away
N her SD year. having scarcely known
a sick day In her life. Only recently the
oldest brother of the twins died at the
age of 90.
The early life of these wonderful twin
brothers was spent on the old home
stead in New Hampshire. When young
men they were required TO attend gen.
eral muster IN the state militia once
year. Their reviewing officer was Gen.
Winfield 5. Scott. From birth the strik-
ing likeness of the brothers was amaz-
ing and in after years they retained
their similarity. When boys 10 dlsrin-
guish Aaron from David the parents
adopted a mode OF identification that
caused them a great deal of trouble.
The confusion they caused was the &C.
easion of great amusement 10 them. but
il sometimes resulted seriously. especial
~ in their love affairs. At school the
master often gave David a chastisement
when Aaron was the real offender. and
again the latter would receive unjust
punishment on account of some prank
OF his brother.
When not yet cut Of his teens David
fell in love with a pretty country lass

John Paul, charged with burglary, and
Charles e. Wilson, charged with as
sault in the first degree, because the
informations We're drawn up in the
name of the chief deputy county attor-
ney instead of in the name of the coun-
ty attorney himself. New informations
were at once filed against each one.
The attorneys for Herrison and Nell
son made a great spiel for justice for
their clients and demanded that their
case be set for trial at once. They re-
sorted to the popular recourse of taking
whack at the county attorneys Office
because Nelson. one of the defendants,
was held in Jail and unable to give the
small bail bond of $500. Mr.. Connolly
said he had agreed that the bail should
be reduced to that amount so that the
defendants might get out. and he con-
sidered the sum ridiculously small for
Il case where the accused is charged
with assault in the first degree. He
did not believe the attorneys had any
cause to criticise the county attorneys
office in view of those facts. He also
stated that before putting the two de-
PENDANTS on trial again he desired to
investigate the character of some of the
witnesses, and upon his statement that
he would then consent to have the case
set for new trial or dismiss it, it was
put off for another week.
The states dog case against Lee
Thong, ChiRaman. came up on de-
murrer to the information. Thong was
charged with assault in the second de-
gree for setting a dog on a white boy
named William Ogle. His lawyer ar
gued that dog was not such an I'm
strument, weapon or thing as contem-
plated by the statute in defining a
crime of assault Mr.. Connolly didn't
think so either, and the court sustained
the demurrer. but directed the county
attorney TO file a new information,
which may be done, charging Thong
with assault in the third degree.

and the course of true love was running
very smoothly until Aaron came on the
scene. Then David's sweetheart got
mixed up and oftentimes accompanied
Aaron TO some rural function. the young
woman being in entire ignorance of the
deception. Two could play at such
tricks, however. and David occasionally
interfered with Aaron's love affairs in a
similar manner.
In 1s43 the twins came West. David
settling in Ohio and Aaron in Monroe,
Mich. afterward moving to Charlotte,
Mich. where he has continued to live
in the peaceful pursuits of farmer.
The former engaged in business in Ober-
lin. About 10 years ago he retired to
private life. having accumulated tidy
fortune. He is now living with his aged
wife and children.
While not considered a rich man,
Aaron Peabody has laid aside enough
of this worlds goods to insure him from
want. Eleven years ago he and his
wife celebrated their golden wedding.
The twin brother. David. and his family
were present. This function created a
great deal of stir in Eaton county.
Five years ago Aaron's wife died.
Since then the old man has been living
with his daughter.
The argument that tobacco is a pre-
ventive OF longevity viii not hold good
in the case of the Peabody twins. Both
have used the weed extensively all their
lives. They have never used intoxicants
TO excess. but they do not object to toss
ing off glass occasionally with friends,
but not outside their own home. The
brothers cast their first vote for Andrew
Jackson for president and neither has
missed presidential election since then.
When the republican party was organ
lied they accepted its principles. and
both have never since wavered in their
fealty. Both enjoy life and their only
ambition is TO live until their Tooth
birthday. when they can lay claim TO
being the oldest twins in the world.
Their only worry is that one will die
before the other does.

FILED AN INFORMATION
County Attorney Charges George
Baum With Murder.
WORKS MAKES HIS PLEA
Habeas Corpus Proceedings Will Be
Instituted on Monday-A Motion
for a New Trial in the
Shafer Case.

The county attorney yesterday filed
an information against George Baum,
the man who killed Jacob H. Brandt on
Feb. with a shovel, charging him with
murder. 1t has not yet been deter
mined what shall be done with Baum,
but it is likely that he will be examined
for insanity first. County Physical
Sheeran is now investigating the case,
and his report will determine the course
the county attorney will pursue.
Robert Works, the murderer of Ed
DAILY, was in court again yesterday
morning and entered a plea of not
guilty to the charge of murder. Judge
Clancy desired to set the case for trial,
but John W. Cotter, one of Works at
torneys, stated that they were not pre-
pared to have it set, and Mr.. Wines
added that they would probably insti-
tute habeas corpus proceedings on
Monday in order TO bring the defend
ants application for admission to bail
properly before the court. Upon this
statement and as Mr.. Connolly Of
fered no objections, the court allowed
the case to go over for several days.
Joe Shafer, the convicted murderer of
John Hawkins, was also in court, and
a bill of exceptions and statement on
1liOliOn IOf a new lTidi Ills case was
presented and settled. The motion for
a new trial will be argued next Satur-
day.
The notorious Frank Moody was
among the criminals before Judge
clancy yesterday morning. and his at
torney argued a motion TO quash the
information for various reasons, prin-
cipally on the ground that the commit
ting magistrate made no order commit
ting the defendant after his prelimi-
nary examination. and Mr.. Connolly
confessed the motion to that extent.
The proper order was later filed with
the other papers, by leave of court, but
Moodyss attorney was not yet satisfied,
and he will argue another motion next
Saturday.
Mr.. Connolly also consented that the
court should sustain the motion to
duash the information against y. G.

second degree: James Williams and

approving the proposed child study

terest is evinced by outsiders in the his
torical department and the collection of
valuable manuscript is slowly but sure
ly growing. 1t must be remembered
that the Housekeeper society is not a
cooking school, but believes that the
home is the hub upon which the entire
wheel revolves. The mistaken idea
that housekeeping and housekeeping
consists alone in the washing of pots
and kettles, has given the low popular
opinion of household economies When
we begin to appreciate the fact that the
development of society and its domes-
tic industries begin with the home. that
the mental, moral and physical train
ing of our lawmakers is in the hands
of the home keeper. we shall elevate
household economics to its true place
in this progressive world.
