ENTERTAINMENT COURSE.
At the Y. NJ. G. A.-Rreparations Now
Being Made

Being IM0ue
The annual course of lectures and
entertainments for this season has been
selected by the Young Mems Christian
Association. The attractions are SUI
perior and are both educational and en-
tertaining, and they are of such a di-
versified nature as to suit all tastes.
The first entertainment will be given
by Marc, the eminent magician. For
ten years Marc has given entire salts
faction, and bis audiences always speak
most enthusiastically of his work. 1t
is seldom that such versatility is en-
bodied in one personality, and an audi
ence is left in doubt whether it is as a
magician, musician, shadowgraphist or
artist, that he excels.
Elias Day, charaoterist, will give the
second entertainment. He is original,
and in characterizations, mimicry and
stories, he is great artist in all the
term implies.
w. Hinton White will give an illus
trated lecture on "In Neptune's
Realm" The lecture is magnifcently
illustrated by over 125 views, beauti-
fully tinted in their natural colors. Mr..
White is an entertaining speaker.
Ward Beeeher Pickard will deliver a
lecture on 1.-THE House That Jack
Built" Mr.. Packard combines the rare
qualities of an inspiring lecturer and
happy entertainer
The closing entertainment of the Sc
ries will be given by the Kentucky Col
onels Male Quartette. This quartette
is admitted to be the most perfect in
balance and blending before the public
to-day. Every member is an artist and
thorough musician; and two Of them
have more than a national reputation
as composers.

EIGHTH WONDER

The Big Attraction at the State Fair

hibited Dniiy-5,OOO visited Her
Yesterday.
A numerous party assem- led yester-
day and interviewed the most extraor-
binary natural phenomena who is on
exhibition in this city.
Millie Christine is a phenomenon OF
the Siamese twin order, but far more
wonderful, for, instead OF two bodies
connected with a ligature, there is
ony one torso, the body separating lit
tie above the waist. There are two dis
Mnct busts and pairs of shoulders, two
heads, four arms and four legs. Anat-
omical examination has proved that
this wonderful woman has two sets OF
lungs, and two Aigestions. 1t is certain
there are mentally two perfect indi-
viduals, for conversations may be
carried on with each of the two persons
so mysteriously blended in one, and
each having very pretty gift OF sing
ing, they perform duets in parts. Mile
Christine also dances very gracefully,
and appears to have no difficulty in
moving about, and in no way differs in
dRpCdl CNO dllHfdeCQ 0hd Sii
gaging persons, who for sport have
agreed to pass an hour tied together
nearly back to back.
The exceedingly amiable and merry
disposition of the mysterious pair de-
prives the exhibition altogether CT
that painful element which was pres
ent even in the case of those practical
philosophers, the Siamese Twins. Mil
lie Christine first saw the light of
day" in North Carolina. All who met
Mile Christine yesterday must have
felt interested in her fortunes and well
disposed to meet her again. So you must
see her now or never.

he took mud time in reading authori-
ties on the kibject of the jurisdiction
OF II court uIller the fourteenth amend
ment to the United States constitutions.
He spoke fdlingly of the gravity of
the situationln Kentucky. He charac-
teriyed this Aurt as one free from the
excitement add craftsmanship that cx-
listed in Kentfky. These plaintiffs, he
said, have cobe here as u last resort
so that the ppple of Kentucky shall

stitution of Kktucky before they take

Arguments against Jurisdiction.
Nj. j. A. Sdtt, for the defendants,
made the poih that the court could
not interfere ii prevent the future ac-
ton of the bodd of contest. He said
the only real atack which had been
mace upon thetioebel law was that it
provided that III the commissioners
throughout thektate should be partisan
democrats. lid ridiculed the idea IT
making this til ground of interfer-
cree of this couh and insisted that the
right to hold Office was not one OF the
rights defined iuthe fourteenth amend
menr of the contribution. He went en-
to argue again4 the jurisdiction OF
this court, sayint he thought the rule
| to lie followed slbuld rather be miser-
ly than covetous b taking jurisdiction.
RepuGnRnt to the Consultation.
Gov. Bradley, Ii his closing argyll
nIent, insisted tlAt the contest board,
being made intola court, was repug-
rant to the constitution of Kentucky,
which specifies Mat courts shall I've
erected. The attlmpt to confer judi
cal authority on this board deprived
these plaintiffs IF their rights and
| gave this court Jurisdiction. In reply
to Il question by the court, Mr.. Brad
| lev said he did notclaim that these Of
| fees were property. He again called
attention to the hct that the board
OF contest had ALREADY expressed opin'
ions concerning Their future action. lie

was no remedy in the state courts and

Lord Roberts tells the correspond

future all written communications are
to GO unchecked. Only kilograms will

little news is likely to get through,

Thus says the censor, and the last
clause may be interpreted to mean
that something is about to happen.

to continue the stream of troops for
South Africa. Four large steamers
have been chartered.
Japan agrees to let the Armstrong;
transfer to England four naval quick
firers that were built for her, consent

A Blow at the Binding Irvine Trust.

Lansing, Kas., Feb. 13.-1he board
of directors of the state penitentiary,
Monday, decided to hereafter sell the
entire output of binding twine of the
Kansas penitentiary direct to the farm
ers. Implement dealers in various
parts of the state had offered to pur'
chase the entire output, but it is said
the prison officials learned there was
reason tobelieve that the binding Irvine
trust was back of some of the dealers.
The plan will become effective after
March 20. There is now more than
$4,000 pounds of Irvine in stock at the
prison warehouse.
