MAN WITH AN
EXTRA HEART.
Guest Of Bernard Mclaughlin on
Lincoln Street.
TWO ORGANS PUMP BLOOD
Discovery Made i'm Philadelphia
While He Was Being Examined
Following Fall From a
Coal Cart.

Bernard Mclaughlin of No. Si5 Lin
coin street has as his guest Francis A.
Gill, who is somewhat of wonder, in
asnuch as he has two hearts pumping
blood for him. He at one time lived i'll
this city, in fact, was raised here. For
the past few years he has lived at No.
620 North Sixth street, Philadelphia.
The discovery that Gill was thus dis
linguished was made by DIR. G. i. Brady
of Philadelphia few weeks ago. Then
it was found that the two hearts are
in some mysterious manner coupled.
There are two distinct heart beats.
Gill, who seems much the same as any
other young man, except that he is Grip
pied in his right foot, fell off the coal
wagon of which he was driver His
slight injuries were dressed at the North
rrn Dispensary, Sixth street and Fair
mount avenue. Philadelphia, and there
he came under observation of DR. Brady,
HEARD HEART BEATS EVERY
WHERE.
The physician was applying the stptho-
scope to Gills chest, and he became puz-
lled over the heart beats. 1t appeared to
him that no matter where he placed the
instrument he could hear the thump Of
heart. He became interested, and ap-
piled tests, with the result that he now
believes that nature supplied the young
man with subsidiary heart. a little TO
the right and below the regular blood
pumping orgain These are connected,
!ieat simultaneously. and the physician is
" the opinion that an arch of the aorta
upplies them both. They join also after
he blood has left the heart, so that the
circulation system is normal. although
he arteries are necessarily large.
II am satisfied" said DIR. Brady in
pcaking of the ease, that Gill has two
hearts. The phenomenon is not unknown.
There are several instances in medical
history. The second hearts heats are
asily detected. and il You give Gill

field. or Funston and Iawton he says
both were ideals with the troops.
or the Philippines he has a poor opin-
ion as Il place for Americans until the
islands are thoroughly Americanized.
The Filipos, he says, are a cowardly,
treacherous set who will hoist a white
flag to lure American troops near and
then open a murderous fire. The natives
are, however. much afraid of the Ameri-
can cavalry. The size of the horses and
the headlong charges Of the mounted
men completely unneIve them. They
never fight in the open and once put to
flight they can hide in places where Il
rabbit could not 20 through
The natives live very largely on fab
and rice, and it is astonishing, he says,
how much of the latter they can ger
away with. They have a drink called
"Beno." which they make while you
wait" He says ii tasts like licorice and
bay rum and if put in a lamp will burn
like illuminating oil. A few swallows cf
this beverage sets one almost crazy for
II time and the ease with which the
STUFF is secured and its awful effect
on the soldiers is simply astounding.
or all the captures made by his com
rideS he says they never got hold of AIRY
deserters from the American army. They

negro named Fagin. who was said 10 tie
the only regular United States soldier
to 20 over. Fagn was with Iacul Int
fled when the insurgent chief found Gen
nral Funston would not accept hin in
surrender other than as descrtcr.
Scholl stoutly defends Funston's methods
in effecting Aguinaldo's capture saying
that he had to meet the most destardy
sort of treachery and fair fight was
impossible.
Many Of Scholl's friends on learning of
his return. hastened to meet and con-
gratuate him on his three years Of al
most constant active service and his
return among them bearing no traces Of
the hostilities An informal reception
was kept up during yesterday afternoon
and evening.
Scholl has gained fully an inch in
height since his enlistment in the United
States regular service and is in Il perfect
state of health and physical condition.

LAWYER KNOWLES OPINION

Principal among the business that
came before the evy Court yesterday
were the matters of whether under the
law properties held by churches or re-
ligious societies are subject to taxation.
and the Adams tax money. In the alb
sence of Chairman Lynn Mr.. Chandler
presided.
Mr. Willitts brought up the matter of
taxation On charitable institutions and
asked II. q. Knowles, the courts at
torney, to submit an answer to the argu
ment made three weeks ago by Will
liam Michael Byrne against taxing cer-
tain religious institutions. Mr.. Knowles
gave his opinion as follows:
"Pursuant to your request for an opin-
ion from me as to whether certain prep
critics are exempt from taxation beg
leave to submit the following as my opin-
ion:
We find in chapter II, section l, an
exemption foom county taxation of all
property belonging to any church, reli-
gious society, college or school or amy
corporation for charitable uses. This is
Il very broad exemption provision and the
language is so clear that it cannot be
misunderstood. But in chapter 80 OF the
Revised Code, section II, known as the
statute of mortmain there is a limitation
upon the amount of real and personal
property church or religious society can
hold The yearly rents and profits Of
the whole real estate held or enjoyed by.
or for any such corporation flor religious
purposes) shall not exceed $780,
"'Fhe question is raised by this statute
whether the property of a church or
religious society in excess OF that having
an annual rental value of $500 can claim
exemption under the provisions of chap
ter H. section l. This is n question of
such IL character that only the court can
settle.

day in City Court he was given his
liberty with the understanding that he
was to leave the city. Yesterday he was
arrested again.
