and steps are now being taken to ascertain
what reception such a movement would
meet with here. To this end President J.
Rowland Hill of the English Rugby union,
which governs the game on the other side
has addressed the chairman Of the faculty
advisory committees of the various leading
universities to learn their temper on the
matter, and If the replies received are
favorable to the undertaking a team will
be sent across. These letters have gone to
Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Pennsylvania,
Columbia, Cornell, Chicago, Michigan, Min
nesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, California,
Oregon and Washington and to a number
OF other friends of the game throughout
the United States.
For the first time in the history of ath-
letics a team OF foot ball players is to be
sent from this country to contest abroad.
They will be the famous members OF the
Kerry Gaelic foot ball team. and they will
make a tour of ireland TO kick against the
picked teams of the Emerald Isle. For this
purpose Denis Buckley, an enthusiastic
Kerry man, has contributed 5000. The
Kerry mems team has been recognized by
Captain Tom 'O'Connor and the children
of the County Kerry believe It is the best
aggregation of Gaelic foot ball players in
the world.

DoUBLE-HEARTED FREAK DEAD
Man once Famous Comes TO an
End as Queer as His
Life.

After living for two weeks with one
heart dead, George Lippert, 50 years old
whose two hearts. three perfectly formed
legs and sixteen toes made him one of the
wonders Of p T. Barnums shows, is dead
at Salem, Ore. from tuberculosis.
Surgeons who performed an autopsy de-
clare that had It not been for the con-
sumption, which already had the upper
hand, the death Of Lppert's right heart
would not have materially affected the
like organ on the left side and that he
probably would have lived for years.
Until seven years ago Lipperts life had
been spent IN the show business He could
speak five languages and any number Of
dialects. A globe-trotters career is not
conducive to saving, and Lippert had only
% cent piece when he found himself
sick and homeless in oregon. Mrs. Mary
Riggs a florist, gave him a home, and ne
quit the show business for good, making
his home thereafter with his benefactress,
In whose house he died. He was visited
here by many showmen.
Besides the usual two legs a third one
grew out OF his right side and was some
what thinner than the other two, but per-
fectly formed. In a French train wreck
Lippert sustained a fracture OF his third
leg and he had his nose broken. There
after he was never able to use his leg, but
would not consent TO an amputation.
Lippert last fall contracted severe
cold, which developed into CONSUMPTION.
When he apparently was near death two
weeks ago one heart ceased beating but

FEW DEATHS BY LIGHTNING
Facts and Figures More ReRssuring
for the Timid Than
Feather Beds.

Tlmid people who are afraid of being
killed by lightning should take refuge In
statistics rather than in feather beds. The
one victim of the storm which swept over
Boston recently was leaning against an
iron bar Yet even in this dangerous en-
vironment his chances of being killed were
so remote that the experience might be
safely repeated by somebody else thou
sands of times. The number of people
who are actually killed by lightning is hard
to ascertain, because 1t is so small that in
most cases such deaths go into the table
as "other causes" or are concealed in
some other fashion. The Boston Board or
Health. for example, uses the Bertlllon
registry system, and here deaths caused py
lightning would be hidden under electrical
disturbances" which includes also execu-
tions by electricity, third-rail casualties,
fatal falls from electric light poles and live
wires, fatal shocks from dynamo, etc. The
registry department which Classics deaths
more correctly. does not record a single IN
stance Of a person killed by lightning In
Boston since 1901. In the whole state
there appear to have been but three per-
sons killed by electric shocks from the
clouds in the last three years.
These figures ought to be reassuring to
those who always shudder whenever they
see a fash of lightning, in the q thought
that It is bearing death in its wake There
is something so intangible about the bolt
from the clouds that the reasoning facul-
ties of certain people seem TO be suspended
during thunder storms. They shrink from
the mysterious power. even though 1t may
be shown that more people die from the
bite Of the common house cat than from
lightning Such has been the case in the
past.
Another reason for the common fear OF
lightning is our unfamiliarity with it. If
thunder storms happened every day Of the
year we should probably lose our fears.
tuberculosis kills more men than war and
we do not spend millions for fighting II
that. we do in preparing coast defenses and
erecting great navies. People do not like
to go TO war, because they may get killed,
but they run risks just as great In unsani-
tary conditions at home TO which they
give no thought The deadly microbe is
always with us, the lightning seldom.
Moreover, its sudden action gives dra-
matte terror to the occasional blow which
II delivers, making 1t vastly more impress
sive than are the quiet and more insidious
foes Of human life.-Boston Transcript

conflict only to be outwitted by the work.
men In the end.
But the final victory of the workmen was
dearly bought, for a more bedraggled lot It
would have been hard to find All were
soaked and two were bruised when Mrs,
Doyle jumped on them while they were in
the hole which they had dug. The police
man, John ]. Senior, slipped away to his
home to change his uniform so did not
see the pole go up.
AS soon as the men appeared Mrs. Doyle
told the foreman that he must not erect
the pole. No attention was paid to this
Mrs Doyle thereupon re-entered the house,
but soon came out again, this time with a
soap box under one arm and a big umbrella
under the other. She next dragged out the
garden hose. Then, seating herself COM
fortably on the soap box on her lawn and
with the umbrella in one hand and the hose
In the other, she called:
Nov, Archie, turn It on"
"Archie" evidently did turn ut" on, for
with a few preliminary sputterings the
hose sent for a stream of water which
fell upon the despoilers.
The men were deluged. The foreman
telephoned for aid and Policeman Senior
responded
With the arrival of the policeman the
electric companys employees evidently
thought that ali resistance on the part Of
Mrs. Doyle would cease They we're wrong
Madam" said Senior. leaning easily
against the fence. you are violating the
| city ordinances by using water to sprinkle
the street at this time of day. 1 must ask
you to desist."
Mrs. Doyle's only reply was to direct the
hose at Senior, who stood Just about five
! feet away. The crowd which had collected
caught a glimpse of Seniors blue coattails
as he fed around the corner.
Mrs, Doyle met her Waterloo when she
abandoned the hose. She went to the
street and attempted to jump into the hole.
Seeing her intention, two men jumped I'm
ahead of her, but she did not hesitate and
| jumped in on top OF them. Finding the
position rather embarrassing, she climbed
| out without paying the least attention to
| the cries Of the men below Then she
| turned to listen to the foreman and halt
a dozen men who had been quietly showing
the pole toward the hole slipped 1t into its
resting place.
Mrs. Doyle was defeated.-Chicagc
