WOMAN WITH TWO HEARTS.

a postmortem-exa has just
revealed TINT Miss Ella Gates, who died
at her home, near Ontario, n. Y, had
two perfectly developed hearts. Miss
Gates was in her 25th year. She never
enjoyed robust health and since her
early teens had been an invalid Her
most singular symptom, which was
noticeable during all her life, had been
n heart beat that at times was so fast
and so confused that it could not be
counted, while again it would be regu-
lar and Of normal rapidty, but SO
heavy that it shook her entire frame.
The surgeons knife revealed small
but perfectly-formcd heart an inch and
n half higher in the chest than that
organ is usually found. When it was
removed the physicians were amazed to
find another heart just below and back
OF the first.

What an Enigma is life!
This world To some all care and strife,
iy fate doomed from their natal hour,
10 change their lot they have no
power;
by want impellcd to sin and crime,
They are derclicts on the sea of time;
Like chip east on the oceans breast
Thcy are tossed about and find no rest

1'Aey pass through life from year to
year;
What wonder that the spark divine
Through lives so dark should dimly
shine,
TIL death throws open wide the gate
That solves the mystery of fate
To others fate is doubly kind:
The reason why no one can find:
For them conditions all combine
To crafty and to refine:
From the moment first they breathe the
air.
rhey are nurturcd with the greatest
care.
Win loving hands their steps are led
Their path through life with roses
spread
Their mind is trained in learning's lore;

That lea2eth into natures shrine.
Where dwellH he ruling power divine.

In natures laws perfection finds:

that uproariously funny comedy, TOO
Much Johnson" which the company
produced in Baltimore some two or
three weeks ago to enormous business,
and their performance OF il was voted
to be equal to the original in New
York. From the rise of the curtain on
the first act to its fall in the last the
fun is fast and furious. and there is

be given at the Wednesday matinee.
| "Wednesday and Saturday evenings a
superb production of Goldsmith's i'm
mortal comedy. She Stops to Con-
Ducr." will be presented. Mr.. Albaugh
prides himself upon the perfection of
detail of this production. and it is in
direct contrast to the opening bill. An
other jump and chance TO display the
versatility of his company is the selec-
ton of the play for Friday night and
Saturday matinee Sardou's master
piece. diplomacy" This play by many
is considered the greatest OF modern
times. and in the deep emotion of its
action calls upon an entirely different
style of acting to the two other plays.
To come out OF the above repertoire
with flying colors" would indeed seem

their ability to meet the emergency.
