BIGGEST HEAD IN THE WORLD,
James Menut's More Than Double the
Usual Size.

James Mcnut's More Than Double the
Usual Size.
! New York. June IA man with the
biggest head in the world was sent from
Bellevue Hospital yesterday to the City
| Hospital on Blackweil's Island.
The man with the phenomenal head is
James Menut. thirty-three years old He
was taken 10 Bellevue on Friday by his
sister, Mrs. Emily B. Gerry. of No. 143
East Forty-ninth Street.
The head of the normal man measures
about twenty-five inches in circumfer-
ence. Menut's head meausres ffty-one
and one-eighth inches, or nearly two and
| a half times as much as the average mas
culine head.
Recently the Bellevue doctors performed
| an operation on a child inflicted with in
sanity. Menut has been an idiot since in
fancy. His sister, Mrs. Gerry, read of the
operation on the child. and took her broth
er there in the hope that an operation
could be performed that would restore his
reason. ---s--
Owing to the mans physical construc-
tion doctors determined to place him un-
der observation for several days before
attempting the operation.
Menut is dwarf, 4 feet l inch tall The
circumference Of his head is more than
two inches greater than his extreme
height.
From his waist up he is proportioned on
gigantic lines. having breadth of shoul-
der and a depth Of chest greater than JEFF
fries, the champion pugilist. But his legs
are grotesquely short and very thin.
Menut is placed in Ward 19, which is
tcnanted by patients suffering from ordi-
lary maladies.
Menut was very quiet in the daytime
but in the late hours OF the night he got
into the habit of stealing out OF his cot
and wandering about the ward
He would go up to a sleeping patient and
pinch his fingers or tickle his toes and
awaken him and say:
You're it" or You can't lose me-
and scamper back to his bed.
This practice drove several patients into
Mysteries. Waking out of sound sleep IN
the dead Of night, they saw lowering over
them the strange figure in white night
shirt, with monstrous head. the hercaiean
shoulders. and the liliputian legs.
The first time the patients of Ward 10
saw Menut was in the middle of the night,
and the superstitious almost died of fright.
As it was impossible to restrain him tie
doctors concluded to send him to the
Blackwelrs Island Hospital.

DEFINING A sPENDTHRIFT.
4 Chicago Jury tO Decide the Linait
of ExaravaGnace.

Chicago. June l4.-Just what constitutes
a spendthrift is the question the jury in
the Benedict case will have to decide. Mrs.
Benedict who died in Paris. left an estate
of 100000. to be held In trust for her son,
F. w. T. Palmer. An income Of 100000
is given the young man. He sues for the
estate. and the trustee says Palmer is a
spendthrift. because he spent 100000 in
two years.
The attorneys for the defence in out
lining his case said that they proposed to
prove that the complainant lost $4,000 in
three months on the New York Stock Ex-
change Should expert testimony be in
troduced to assist in getting at the exact
meaning OF the word ''spendthrift" in this
connection. IL is likely that Joe Letter and
J. r. Keene will be called to explain Just
the precise point at which a man ceases
10 be good loser" and becomes bad
spendthrift"
