that every one was so greatly pleased
with the substitution of the windows for
artificial light during the day that he had
decided to have similar transoms put on
the Wabasha street side of the building,
as well as over both entrances.
In Chicago and the East the glass has
attracted great deal of attention OF
late and has been the subject of favorable
newspaper and magazine comment. All

business centers of Chicago and New.

Chicago houses who have recently adopt

Evans are the first to try it in the North
west.
Mr.. Evans, while in the East a short
time ago, had occasion to observe the ef-
feet of the glass on the light in buildings
in the midst of sky-scrapers where it was
necessary to run electric plant day

SIXTY YEARS OLD and MOTHER OF TWINS.

WICHITA, Kan, March 16.-Mrs. LIZ
zle James, of Nardin, Okla. is the mother
Of twenty children. She has just given
birth to twins at the age of sixty.
She has had three pairs of twins alto
gether. All these twins were born on
the same day of the year-Feb. II. Nine
of her children altogether celebrate their
birthdays on Feb. IT. The James home
stead is very cheerful on that day.
Seventeen of the children were born
I'm the month of February. This is only
one OF. the many remarkable facts con-
cerning Mrs. James. The other children
were born In April, June and July.
Ten of the children are boys and ten
girls. Every one of them is alive.
Mrs. James is a woman of splendid
health and vitality. She looks fifteen
years younger than she is. AT the age
of sixty. after having given birth to her
nineteenth and twentieth children, she
is as hale and hearty as ever she was.
She declares that she is very happy to
have SO large family and is ready for
any more that may come.
The record shows that Mrs. James has
been in state of productive activity
since 1864. Unlike other women who have
enormous families, she has not had chill
dren in unduly rapid succession. Thus
the period 1S65-1S70 passed without a new
James baby. Again from 1872 to 1876 there
was no baby. By this time Mrs. James
began to grow sure of her powers. From
1876 up to 1895 there never was an inter-
val of two years between births. From
1895 to the present year. 1899, there was
a longer interval.
Mrs. James case Is without a parallel
in authentic medical records. The age
at which she has become mother is
more remarkable than the number of
children she has borne. The normal linn
1t of fertility is from forty-two to forty
five years. AS a matter of fact. not one
woman In a hundred becomes a mother
even at this age Doctors of this region
say that there is absolutely no authenti-
Gated case approaching that of Mrs.
James.

Schuneman & Evans have just put In
i've Prism glass transoms on the Sixth
street side of the building, giving them
what is the very latest effect in glass
windows, and perhaps the only departure
of its kind in the Northwest
The glass in the new transoms is new
invention called "Prismatic'' glass hav-
ing peculiar magnifying power to such
marked degree that the firm has been
unable to dispense with the use of arti-
hcial light during the day time. OF
course, the secret of the patent reposes
with the owners, but some of its features
are very easily explained. The transoms
resemble, as viewed from the outside
frosted glass. with grooves and beveled
edges on each of the little plates, which
are about five inches square. The effect
produced by the introduction of the new
windows on the interior of the store is
very remarkable. Each of the little
plates is a complete lens in itself grooved
and beveled in such way as to throw
the light in ali directions With few
thousand of these little plates the. effect
on the interior of the store can easily
be appreciated. The new transoms are
five feet high and about sixteen feet long.

collections in the world. comprising, as it
does, SeVenty-two medals and decorations
given to DR.. Perrin by the crowned heads
of Europe and Asia, as we'll as by numer-
Gus scientific societies and colleges.
Among the decorations which Dr. Perrin
wears on his breast are those presented
10 him by the. emperor Of Russia, en-
peror of Germany, shah of Persia, Queen
Victoria and others of lesser note.
During the past ten years Dr. Perrin
has been connected with many of the
great American papers and has conducted
palmistry departments for the New York

ald Chicago Tribune, Minneapolis yTrib-
une, Detroit Free Press and other pa

press of the United States as the greatest
living palmist in the world.
FUTURE OF THOMAS O'BRIEN.
At the solicitation of The G Globe, DR..
Perrin was induced to read the hand Of
Thomas d. O'Brien, Minnesota member
of the Democratic national committee,
and for Mr.. O'Brien the doctor predicts
long life and great success. Here is
the outline of Mr.. O'Brien's life as laid
down by DR.. Perrin:

an aperture with the arm barred. Dr.
Perrin had said but few words in his
reading of the hand when the man be-
hind the curtain stepped forth, and
proved to be Mr.. AltgeId, who then said
that he was satisfied that palmistry was
a science and that DIR. Perrin was a mas
ter of the art DR.. Perrin predicted for
Mr.. Altgeld that his political career
would soon end, and that his life would
also soon cease. In other words, that
Mr. Altgeld has but short time longer
to live.
KING OSCAR OF. SWEDEN.
While in Sweden, in 1884. Dr. Perrin
had the pleasure of reading the hand of
King oscar. and in speaking of this ex-
perience the doctor mentions it as one
of the most pleasurable of his life. He
says that the king is one of the most
eminent linguists that he has ever met,
as he speaks all of the tongues of civili-
zation we'll as the dead languages
and number of dialects spoken by saw
age tribes DR.. Perrin says that King
Oscar is of a poetic and as.hetic turn,
and is a man whose ambition tends up
ward in all things. The doctor also says
that he is very unfortunate in having
four sons who are lead by the one who
will succeed him on the throne, who Is

of 1T gives him low pleasure. His ac-
tions have cost his father many Sleep
less nights, and 1t would be better for
him were he dead than that he should
rule the land. But DR.. Perrin says that
the life line of the prince is almost as
long and unbroken as that of his father,
and that he will succeed Oscar as king
of Sweden, but that he will only rule
about four months, when he will be de-
posed by the people, and another of the

Drink IN Wall Street.

Do Wall street men drink? Is ques.
ton frequently asked. and the answer
is "Yes," says q New York exchange,
from the biggest man in the street to
the smallest speculator. Many Of the
more noted bankers and brokers never
touch drop until after business hours,
but there are men Of great consequence
In the whirlpool Of speculation who
cannot decide which way the cnt Is
going to jump unless they have gazed
into the bottom of several glasses that
had been filed with "a little Of the
same" And there are many who have
not the courage to invest unless
Jagged" There are numerous In
stances where men have won fortunes
by taking n drink. and, on the Other
hand, that same drink has cost not only
fortunes, but regulations. A handsome
ma jority of Wall street men drink. Few
drink to excess. Those who never touch
a drop are the conservatives. The bold
fearless operators are half drunk al
the time.
