GREAT SECRECY OBSERVED
POLICE TRYING TO SNEAK INTO
TOWN UNoBSERVED.

Paris, Dec. 2S.-The train bringing
to Paris the members of the Humbers
family, who We're arrested in Madrid,
was due to arrive at 4:52 O'Clock to-
morrow morning, but owing to an acci-
dent to brake. it was two hours late
a. the Spanish frontier, thereby miss
ing connections with the Paris express
at Bordeaux
In their anxiety to avoid the assem-
bling of crowds and demonstrations up
on the arrival of the Humberts. the
authorities here refuse to say at what
station the prisoners will leave the
train These precautions probably will
be defeated by the delay in arriving,
as it now seems probable that the train
will reach Paris IN broad daylight, in
stead, as intended in the darkness of
early morning. 1t is possible that the
prisoners viii be taken from the train
at some station outside the city aid
thence conveyed secretly to prison.
Cells at the cOnciergerie have been pre-
pared for their reception
At Hendaye, on the Spanish frontie,',
the car containing the prisoners was
detached from the Madrid train out
side the station on the Spanish side of
the frontier, and the sHumDerts were
hurried in to French car held in read
mess and handed over to the French
officials. After this had been done,
the Spanish police retired. The change
of cars was accomplished so rapidly
that the waiting crowd barely caught a
glimpse Of the party, but it greeted
the prisoners with ironical cheers and
hootings. This greatly enraged Nine.

however, as the blinds of the car were

NOMINATIONS
BEING HELD UP
Injustice Worked Under the Army
Reorganization Law,
MANY COMPLAINTS ARE MADE
SOME FAvoRITES HAVE BEEN
GOING UP TOO FAST.

Washington. Dec. 2S.-The senate
committee on military affairs has held
up. pending an investigation. all of the
army nominations sent in before the
recess below the grade of major. The
members of the committee have re-
ceived numerous complaints about the
method of seleetiW of officers under
the reorganization law. It is asserted
that great injustice has been done to
officers who have served quite a long
time Complaint has been made that
the men were selected from those who
formerly served as volunteers to I'LL
original vacancies, and that they be-
came captains as soon as they were ap-
pointed. Others appointed. it is al
legged, waited from four to seven
months before acceptance Of their com
missions, which date from the time the
appointment was made, their rank be-
ing determined by the date Of their
commission. This gives them many
numbers above West Point graduates
and others appointed from the vOlun-
teers, who entered the service and did
much hard work while the men who
delayed acceptance were enjoying
themselves or attending to business in
terests.
Another allegation is that a large
number of men appointed under the
reorganization law Immediately be-
came captains of artillery and were
placed in charge of guns and machinery
of which they had no knowledge.
To obviate this difficulty to some eX-
/ tent the secretary of war with the
approval of the committee on military
] affairs, secured the resignation Of sew
| enteen second lieutenants of artillery,
who thereupOn were named TO ill orig
inaI vacancies as first lieutenants in
other branches of the service. and in
some instances very soon were made
/ captains It is expected that the sub
committee which is investigating the
matter of recent promotions will be
ready to report about the time con-

TWIN SISTERS IN PAIN
DURING OTHERS PANGS
Surgeons Operate on the One, Who Feels
Nothing, But Her Conscious "other
Half" Suffers Pain.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Oct. 11.-Mrs. Emma
Hax Smith and Mrs. Bertha Hax Free
man, OF this city, We're twins. They looked
alike, they had identical dispositions,
tastes, lnclinations. AS they shared each
others joys and sorrows" if one suffer-
ed physical pain, the other seemed to
share it. AS young girls, they We're insep-
arabic; as married women. they lived near
each other.
Mrs. Smith fell ill recently and her
physicians Were puzzled to find that Mrs
Freeman exhibited the same symptoms,
but was entirely free from their cause
1t became necessary to operate on Mrs.
Smith. She was anaesthetized and the
operation was performed, without the
slightest pain to her.
1t was Mrs. Freeman who suffered She
knew her twin was under the knife; no
anaeSthetic blunted her senses, Mrs. Free

her twin sister was passing away, Mrs.
Freeman continued to be desperately ill.
AT the moment when Mrs. Smith died
Mrs. FreemanS SufferingS ceased. But her
body had been so racked that She too,
was very near death.
Mrs. Freeman and her friends do not
try to explain 6pl1tn why VII; She %ho had been in
vicariously when her sister, lay uncon-
scious under the knife, or why she ceased
to suffer when her sister died. They know
only that these things happened
81 had never known of such a CASE
said DR.. D. A. Martin one of the hospital
surgeons. Il think Mrs Freeman's suffers
ing can be accounted for only on the
theory that 1t was caused by the strong
sympathy that existed between these two
sisters.
Properly speaking, Mrs. Freeman was
not ill at all; she suffered no real pain.
But her sympathetic mind was wrought
up to the highest pitch and she felt, or
thought she felt, the pain her sister would
have suffered had she been operated upon
without the use of chloroform. 1t is an
suffer pain while on the operating table
or afterward. She was utterly uncon-
scious to all feeling; her death resulted
from shock. Mrs. Freemans suffering
therefore, was caused by an overweight
mind

love for each other, remarkable in their
womanhood Mrs. Freeman married and
went with her husband to Denver but so
strong was her attachment for her sister
that they did not long remain separated

apart. they often believed they knew each

sympathy they were very close together.
much abroad and was absent for months,
but communication between the twin sis
tiers was never broken. They cabled to
each other at frequent intervals.
Often after their reunion they found
that, while they were separated, they had
the same subjects, at the same time.
Their physicians say they cannot yet
tell whether Mrs. Smiths death will have
a permanent effect on Mrs. freeman. who
naturally is a strong, vigorous and
healthy young woman.
