Upon the Scientists.
Mark Twain's father was an ornfthoh-
ogist, He had several friends who
were also enthusiasts on the subject or
birds. Whenever any one of them dis
covered a rara avis it was the custom
to have a consultation. Mark had been
witness of several of these bird in
quests and had noted the delight the
old men took in discussing new
found specimen. One day It occurred
to him to provide the Hannibal orni-
biologists with real circus In the
form of bird. He killed crow and
also barnyard rooster. Plucking out
the tail feathers of both the crow and
the rooster, he substituted the rooster
tail feathers for those of the crow. pro-
ducing a unique effect. When he had
the specimen nicely prepared, he went
to his father and, handing 1t to him,
said:
Here, father, is very curious bird
l shot. thought you would be inter
ested in it."
The old gentleman gazed upon the
specimen with establishment Thai
evening the ornithologists Of Hannibal
were assembled In Mr.. Clemens par
lor. The rare specimen was put before
them. The discussion was long ano
learned. The opinions expressed were
various. One thought the bird was ar
offshoot of the bird Of paradise fam
fly; others had equally ridiculous no
lions as to its ancestry. But there was
one who refused to be swerved by thu
popularity of the birds tail from th'

Did she Marry a Woman 2

Mystery surrounding the identity of the
person who by marriage ceremony con-
ferred upon Lily A. Barnes the name of
Mrs. ALLEN seems to be partially cleared
by the reported discovery that both con-
tracing parties to this ceremony were
women, and that the affair was arranged
for the purpose of binding the relatives
of the woman, who. under the will of the
late Pierre Lorillard, inherits Rancocas
stock farm.
According to the report, the woman who
for the ceremony posed as man CARRIED
in frock coat and light trousers removed
her apparel and appeared thereafter in
costume suitable to her sex.
Many conflicting stories were told at
the time as to the identity of the BRIDE
groom. 1t was said that he was Mr.
Allen, wealthy young Englishman, and
then again 1t was rumored that he was a
young English adventurer, who received
$40, 900 to pose for the ceremony, and that
the understanding was that Immediately
after the wedding he should disappear
After the ceremony it was said that the
bridegroom had gone West, and there was
report that he had died suddenly, leav-
ing Mrs. ALLEN a widow.
The explanation of identity which has
come to light explains, In the minds of
many, the peculiar wording of the will
by which Mrs. Allen inherits Rancocas
She is mentioned in the document as Lily
A. Barnes, ''also known, and sometimes
known" as Lily B. Allen. If "Mr.
ALLEN" was woman there is no such
person as Mrs. Lily B. ALLEN, or Mrs. Lii
Ian Barnes Allen, in legal sense, and a
bequest to her would have been of doubt
ful validity. 1t has been recalled that at
the time the courtship was presumably
going on "Allien" was never seen, and
the identity of the wooer was mystery.
Then the marriage was announced and
the bride sailed on yachting cruise
Miss Barnes is of well-known family
Her uncle was Alfred s. Barnes, who was
at one time one of the largest book pub
fishers in New York, and her cousin, Al
fred G. Barnes, was president of the Amer
lean Book Company. Her brother, A. s
Barnes, was broker in Wall street.
The woman who impersonated 'tMr. Al
lien, according to report, was the wife o
one of the employees at Rancocas stocl
farm.

Now that the returns are all In we can
of the recent hot weather. As one journal
has remarked, the newspapers during that
never to-be- forgotten period contained
lists of the dead and Frustrated that
looked like reports from some great battle.
The Literary Digest has collected the re-
turns. The death list for the country at
large contains the names of more than
1900 persons. Of these more than one
half (about 800) occurred in New York
City alone. Philadelphia came next with
considerably more than 200. Boston and
New England lost 100; Pittsburg, 100;
Baltimore, 80; Newark, 70; Jersey City,
40; st. Louis, 50; Chicago, 30; Cincinnati,
Cleveland and Washington, 20 each; and
SO on in diminishing numbers in smaller
or cooler cities and towns. 1t is a re-
markable fact that most of the suffering
was in the north. The southern cities
were comparatively comfortable, and one
newspaper in New Orleans invited north

the heat. A Boston paper at the same
time reminded us that ''at eleven miles
up it is eighty eight below Zero" Both
suggestions were lacking in practicability.
1t is well to remember that we are still
in the midst of the summer, and while we
are not likely to have another such phe-
nomenal ''hot wave, " we are still destined
doubtless to have the weather uncomfort-
ably warm. As people, we have not
yet learned to endure our hot summers.
Our houses, our clothing and our habits
are not suited to them. 1t remains
grave problem in hygiene how to meet
these emergencies, and this appalling
death list of 1900 should be regarded in a
measure as reproach to our collective

den of toll and poverty should be light

can suggest themselves to humane but
too strenuous civilization Philadelphia

TUESDAY, JULY 80, 1901.

VIsIToRs at the Inter-S State fair this
year will probably notice very appre
ciable improvement in the matter of
shows on the midway. Judge Relstab,
who granted the license to the Associa-
ton, called attention to the indecencies
which had been spread before the people
and warned the management that there
must be change or 1t would be the last
time license would be issued. There is
no reason whatever why the fellows who
run the side shows should be allowed to
conduct their business and parade their
vulgarities in the brazen manner that has
characterized them for several years. The
people who have gone to the fair with
their families have right to be protect
ed from the scenes which have been
forced under their eyes, and Judge Rel
stab is entitled to commentator for his
efforts in this direction.

How a Fancier Carries HIS Pet p pOdls

A dog fancier has just invented a
clever scheme whereby he is enabled
to carry his pet with him ON his trav-

panies who discriminate against dogs
in the parlor cars. He now carries his
pet poodle on every short trip which
he makes, and the animal no longer
is compelled to whine his energy away
in a common baggage car among
other peoples plebeian trunks.
The dog fancier secured medium
sized alligator skin bag, almost square
in shape at the ends, and its roomy
interior just large enough to admit
the dog comfortably, provided he dou-
bled up his legs and duclIed his head.

Peruvian mummies. They were coll
aected by Mr.. George Kieler during
his travels in Peru some IS years ago

pings some wcll-preserved cocoa
leaves and cotton have been extracted.
This bundle of dried humanity was
exhspDed from Il mound on the plan
aatson of Candiyille, midway between
Lima and Chancay railroad. 1t is be-
3ieVed that The bodies have been
buried nearly 100 years--certainly
before the conquest of Peru, for since
that time all burials have been re-
TUired TO be in accordance with the
ritaIal of the Roman Catholic church.
The preservation Of the clothing,
Tobcs, etc, is understood to be due to
the character of the soil, which is
rich IN nitrates Another specimen
when exhumed, was found to nave
had two gourds, one on its breast and
one lying at it's side, and some domos-
tic implements buried with it, such as
tools for weaving. Dried beans were
aisO found, and a third gourd rested
ON the lower part of the body. This
specimen is provided with artificial
eyes, believed TO be composed OF the
crystalline lenses of the eyes of the
cutie fish. Yet another one is
wrapped ia a robe of guanaco, with a
brght colored border, and a woven
hoSddress of cotton. These speci-
Imens viii be placed in the care of Mr..

is much pleased at the thought of ac-
squirting these interesting additions to
