BODY IS BROUGHT HOME
Remains Of Herbert {. Hannis
tuesday Reached Here Night.
FUNERAL FRIDAY AFTERNOON
obsequies Was Conducted Under
the Auspices of the Martins.
burg Lodge of Elks.

The remains of Mr.. Herbert f.
Hannis, who destroyed himself in his
room at the Chicago hotel in Wash
ington on Monday night, were brought
to Martinsburg on Baltimore g. Ohio
train No. Q shortly before midnight
Tuesday night, and the body is now at
the late home on Winchester avenue.
No new Developments concerning
the tragedy in Washington are known
here. 1t was stated ia some quarters
that Mr.. Hannis was on his way to
the Mt. Hope asylum, near Baltimore,
but this report cannot be verified and
is discredited. The dead man seemed
to be in an unusually cheerful frame
of mind jus: previous to his departure
for v ashington, and met and spoke
to several friends and acquaintance
on the street here. He was then on
his way to the train.
The news of the unhappy affair was
reviewed generally with expressions
of regret, and while many of the dead
mans friends protested to believe
that it was an end they anticipated,
all joined in drawing the mantle of
charity over the rash act. Mr.. Han
mis- was generally liked ia this city,
and had many friends. He was ordi-
narily of a genial and companionable
nature, but was high-strung and
imaginative, and inclined to brood
over matters of little Importance until
they appeared to him of great mag
nitude. The affair was an unfortu.
nate and unhappy one in all it's
aspects, and there is ready and SIM
cere sympathy felt for those over
whom it has cast the shadow OF gloom
and sorrow.
The funeral was held on Friday
afternoon at2 o. clock. The services
took place at the home and were
conducted by Rev. John S. Doug
las, rector of Trinity Episcopal
church. The remains were taken to
Green Hill cemetery, where the Mar
tinsburg lodge of Elks conducted
the funeral rites of that order. The
members of the lodge also held
their lodge of sorrow in the lodge
rooms at O'Clock, and marched
from their quarters to the home of
the deceased in BODY. One of the
last wishes expressed by Mr.. Hannis
was that his funeral was under
the auspices of this order. of which
he was prominent member.

GREAT CITY FOR TWINS.
In Proportion to Its Total of Births
Omaha Has a Very Large
Percentage.

Omaha has the distinction Of having
larger percentage of twins born than
in any other city in the west. In 1894
the births were 1885. In this number
there were 27 pairs of twins and one
assortment of triplets. DR.. Della
Lynch, a physician of Omaha, who has
always been interested in this subject,
says:
Twins are almost heredity. That Is,
the tendency to produce twins runs in
families, Sometimes it skips genera
ton or two, but have seldom known
case of twins or triplets where there
had not been twins or double births on
either the fathers or mothers side OF
the family"
There is family in Omaha in which
the father and the mother were each
one of twins. Although they rejoice In
family of five children, there are no
twins among them, much to relief OF
both parents. That's all right" says
the mother. Twins look cute when
they are dressed up and out on the
street in a carriage. My mother peri
sisted in dressing my twin sister and
myself exactly alike until we married
and could choose our own clothes. And
every time we went down town to-
gether we could hear people saying:
oh, just look at those twins. Don't
they look alike? And to crown 1t all
my husband proposed to my twin Sis
ter one night on the front porch in the
twilight. Of course, he thought 1t was
me; but it was embarrassing just the
same"
you are right, twins are no joke"
said her husband. 81 was always get
ting licked for what my twin brother
did when we were kids. Even now 1t
makes us lots of trouble, our resem7
blance. We travel over much the same
territory, although he has different
line from what carry, and people are
constantly mistaking US for each
other"
