Child Born With Two Heads.


PHlLLrpsBuRG, N j., Nov. 26.-Mrs. Will
liam Gillespie, 7 Belvidere road, on Tuesday
evening became the mother of male child
which had two necks and heads. From the
shnuiders down the child was perfectly normal
and fully developed. The child weighed nine
pounds and was 10 inches in length.
Each head had the usual quota OF eyes and
ears: the noses and mouths were normal and
apparently each head had connection with the
lungs perfectly developed. for respiration was
for a time perfect in each and was simuItan-
eous, indicating but a single pair OF lungs. :.
The child was weak from the start and dld
not live long. One of the heads appeared to
be affected by death short time before the
other, but the difference was very slight. DR.;
j. NJ Reese, the attending physician, and
DR.. Kline, whom he called in, think from this
that it is possible each head was supplied with
air by one lung, but cannot tell definitely.
The mother of the child is about 81 years
Gid. She has one other child-a girl about
IA years of age. The family is OF Scotch de-
scent and has resided here about nine years.

Letter to Joseph B. Boyle
Westminster MARYLAND


Dear SIR We suspect you'd like the tale,
how woman beat two hardware dealers in
GiIard, Pa.
We tried our best to get those men to sell
Devoe lead and zinc in that bright town; and
failed. Reluctantly took Mrs Z Bowman,
druggist.
They said they couldn't sell paint for more
than 81. % gallon. Mrs. Bowman can. She
has sold about all the paint, that has been sold
there since.
She knew Devoe; had sold our artists ma
telials. Had some sense and force, besides;
she easily learned that cheap is dear in paint,
and told the people.
Mr. Burt Young bought gallon Devoe for
rooms that had always taken IA gallon of other
paint; had half left.
Mr. E II Hitler, jeweler, painted Devoe, and
says it goes further-no particulars.
Mr. John Hanna, grocer, thought it expen-
sive before he bought it; brought back nearly
half Of his paint, and said it was the cheapest
job he ever had.
Mrs Bowman reports universal satisfaction.
So much for a cheap paint town with a bright
woman in it.
Yours truly
F w DEvoE & Co

P. S.-Geo. W. Yeiser sells our paint.

He Had a Revelation.

Eliza Dennis, negro, 25 years old, was ar
rested November % at the White House III
Washington and turned over 10 the Board OF
Police Surgeons, who pronounced him insane
and he was committed temporarily to the
Government Hospital for the Insane.
He arrived the night before from Pascagoula,
Miss. For the last three years he has been
troubled with visions. the first of which, in
1901, consisted of the revelation that
blood was coming from the ground. II was
revealed to him later that Senator Iillman
was an "Antichrist," and that the Senator
would receive wound from which lie would
recover and lead an uprising in the South
which would result in civil war.
Dennis saws he was selected by the Lord as
the bearer of these tidings to President Roose-
welt, and had written several letters to the
President, to which he had received no reply.
He therefore decided to come to Washington
and present his message in person.

Cold Follows Flood.

ST. PETERSBURG, November 26.-The flood
which has caused so much damage here was
the biggest since 1924. The intense cold is
causing much distress among the homeless
and the dweers in cellars. In the factory
quarter 10000 persons have Deeh orlven mo II
the streets, many of them losing their all.
The authorities are doing everything in their
power to relieve the sufferers, and there have
been few fatalities. pathetic case was that
Of parents, hurrying home at the sound OF
warming guns, who found their children
heavy, especially at Cronstadt. The rails and
barges in the river were smashed and the live
stock in the enyirons we're drowned.
The strangest freak of the flood occurred at
"A cemetery, where collins were washed ont OF
graves and hoated away. Those which were
recovered were reinerred haphazard.
The Gar has donated So 900 in aid of those
who have been reduced to restitution by the

Steel Rails for Arabia.

An order for 20, 900 tons of steel rails has
been placed with the Maryland Steel Co. OF
Sparrow's Point, for the railroad under con-
sirHclion from Beirut, On the Mediterranean
Coast. to Mecca, Arabia. The order will
amount to about $457, 600, and is one of the
largest ever received by the company from
foreign trade. The big mill at Sparrows Point
will begin at once on the work of turning out
rails necessary to the filling Of the order, and
the mill will probably be kept busy for some
time The price per ton agreed in the con
tract, it is said. is S22 So delivered at Beirut,
which is S5.l5 less than the regular price for
rails delivered in the United States. The cut
in prize, it is said, was made with "a view to
securing a greater slice of the foreign trade,
which at present is monopolized by European
mills

Alleged Reforms to be Abolished.

1t is said an effort will be made at the com
ing session of the Legislature to change the
Baltimore City charter so as to do away with
the spring elections and to change the annual
registration of voters to quadrennial with
provision for annual revision.
All practical people knew the spring cleo
tons change was a mistake, but the 'old
maids of the Reform League got up wave
of reform(?) and the new charter was passed,
with cumbersome provisions, adding to the
general expense of the city. The ADVOCATE
remarked at the time of the discussion that
the people would soon tire of nine months Of
politics in year, and the trouble and expense
of annual registration of voters and spring
revisions. In the last twenty three years
there has been continued talk of reform. 1t
began in the winter of 1880, and every change
in election and registration laws since has sim
ply added to the public expense without adding
to the purity Of elections. And the reform
movements have been fostered and nurSed by
persons who thought that something was wrong
because political preferment was not accorded
them. The State must be rotten, they thought,
when their transcendent abilities and purity
of character were not recognized. AS the
Baltimore Sun remarked recently, ''the Re-
form League know no more about public at
fairs than old maids know about rearing chill
dren." 1t is high time to ignore them and
their political vagaries. In fact they should
never had particle of consideration, and it
is a good move to do away with some of their
useless and costly machinery of government.

Mudd Lake. III Hamilton county, Iowa. one
of the greatest prairie swamps in the West,
will be converted into one of the largest farms
in the State of Iowa
The land belongs to the Rand estate, of
Burlington, Iowa, and the engineers have
started to work 10 build ditch seventy five
miles long. which will drain $50 square miles
of land Cairo Lake, AS it is sometimes called,
contains 1900 acres of land, and is the basin
OF about 43 900 acres Of land. 1t lies near
Jewell junction.
The main ditch will have bottom width
varying from thrtytwo to nine feet. The es,,
timaed cost of the ditch and the four lateral
bitches is $4,000. If the plan works as con
tempated this land will then be easily worth
500 per acre.

authoritative in New York that Senator Hanna
would be a candidate for the Presidency to
succeed President Roosevelt. Failing in that,
it was said that he Hanna) would exert every
effort to nominate Governor-elect Myron L.

nominate the former or the latter as conditions
