STANCE HUMAN FREAK.
Negro Child Born With Two Heads
and One Set Of Lungs.


CAIRO, ILL, July H--One Of the
strangest works Of nature ever seen In
Cairo is two-headed baby girl which
was born several days ago to a negro
family named Shane. The heads are
both well formed and rest on the
shoulders at about the same angle.
The features are perfect. The body
Of the infant is fully matured, but the
chest is unusually large.
The child has but one set of lungs
and, what is more strange, 1t possesses
a double esophagus, and each neck and
head is independent Of the other, and
1t seems that each head furnishes all
for one lung.

Few Persons Knew of the
Marriage.

ouIihj NUM-, Julf At.-iu flcW VI
the confirmation made to-day by
Senator William A. Clark OF his secret
marriage on May 25, 1901, to Miss
Anna La Chappelle, his beautiful
ward, the opinion is expressed by
lawers that unless he has an agree
ment with his wife by which she has
waived all dover rights, the recent
deeds he executed as an unmarried
man, will not stand In the courts.
Among the deeds he signed is one
conveying his New York mansion to a
corporation organized about six
months ago, and another transferring
the larger portion OF his Butte mining
interests to Spokane corporation
known as the Original Consolidated
Mining Co.
An unofficial version, but not the
popular one, Of Senator Clark's
romance leading up to bis marriage,
dictated by himself, was made public
to-day. 1t is dated st. Louis, July 10,
and is as follows:
"The announcement of the marriage
OF Senator W. A. Clark to Miss Anna
La Chappelle in Marsellles, France, on
May 25, 1901, is not surprise to their
relatives and close friends In Montana.
1t has been known for many years
that the Senator was very fond Of his
young ward, and his marriage was
known to bis legal advisers and closest
friends, both In this country and in
Europe. What will come In the ma
ture Of surprise however, is the news
that baby girl, Audree, was born to
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark In August, 1902,
the year following their marriage"
Under bis signature, Senator Clark
continues:
"There are many good reasons why
both Mrs. Clark and myself desired
our marriage to remain secret. Mrs.
Clark did not care for social distinc-
tlon or the obligations that would en-
tail upon my public life.
"She was anxious to remain in Eu-
rope for time to continue her stud
les, and felt that she could do this
with more freedom II the marriage
was not announced.
"Personally, / would have preferred
to have her with me at all times, but
nv extensive business interests com.
PEELED me to spend a great deal Of
time travelling throughout the United
States. | did not have the necessary
time myself to devote to social obll-
cations and their active require
ments.
ut has been stated that my family
objected to this union. Whatever ap-
prehepsion-if Anyway have existed
in this respect on my part, we're en-
tlrely dissipated when the facts were
disclosed by the cordial reception Of
the information and their approval OF
these relations, which we're SO essen
tial to nv happiness. Then, again, |
wanted nv child to be educated In
America. and brought up as a resolute
and patriotic American

advantages OF her thorough European
education, returned here to visit hel
mother and sister. she then went te
New York and Washington. AT the
latter place she was the guest Of Mrs
Mary Milmorc, an old friend OF the
Senator.
"After spending few weeks there
she returned to Paris. The Senator
followed In the spring. Then he
learned that his early affection fol
this beautiful girl had rIpened into
love.
at was happy moment In Sena-
tor Clark's life when he understood
that bis love for Miss La Chappelle
was reciprocated, and soon afterward,
while at MarseilIes with Nine. de Car
yellon, the marriage was solemnized.
When the baby was born Senator
Clark maintained that the child
should be reared and educated In this
country, where she might absorb the
spirit Of American rights aud free
dom.
"With the idea in view he will re-
open his Washington home next fall
and bring his beautiful wife and baby
to the Capital, where he will enter
with renewed vigor the strife in
which q national politician must al.
ways engage and where he will repre-
sent the interests Of his constituents
