A MANS DUAL LIFE
True Case of Double Parsonage
a Mystery to the
Physicians.

Associated Press 10 The Evening Tlmes.
Rochester, N. Y, Nov. S.-A remark
able instance Of a man endowed with
dual personality, living the life of
another person for many years, even
marrying young woman while under
that hallucination and giving her the
name of a supposed dead friend, has
been made public here by physicians
who treated the case.
The man is Horace Robbins, who
came to this country ten years ago
from England. Two years later he
became subject to nervousness. Sci
entists declare the story Of his life to
be like a modern collection of Canter-
bury tales; for when under the con-
seriousness of his other self, which
would last for months at a time, Rob-
bins has experienced the emotions that
we're common in the personality of
the other, and even lost his money
fighting for the estate of the dead
father of dead friend, Horace Nor
rims, in whose spirit his consciousness
was merged.
While in one of these spells Rob-
bins married a young woman whose
home is in Rochester The wedding
ceremony took place in her grand
fathers house at Sodus last Christ
mas day. The next day Robbins be-
came i'll and had doctor attend him.
Ten days later he vanished.
Under the impression he was cross
ing the Atlantic to adjust his fathers
One man subsequently testified he
,cri1t I'm, h,vt
been proved that Robbins never tasted
intoxicating liquors. On January 10,
letter came to his wife in which he
said he had been in hospital at Sayre,
Pa. Doctors went to Sayre. but there
is no hospital there. Robbins was
found in neighboring town.
He was placed under special medi-
cal treatment, the doctors being ]. H.
Vary, general practitioner. and Ed
ward E. Angel, a specialist in neu-
rology. DR.. Vary and his wife took
him home and nursed him for fort
night. He was like a day dreamer, a
man hypnotized, occasionally writing
business letters and then having spells
of delusions, but by February 4, he
appeared normal and WELL
Then he gave the first story of his
life-the first of contradictory series.
His home is in Musselburgh, Scotland,
he said, his father an army officer
who shot himself through grief, and
he himself, the sole survivor of his
family, emigrated to Canada and en-
listed in a Canadian contingent for
the Boer war, afterward returning by
way of England to the dominion.
Subsequently going back to England
he said, he awoke one morning in an
Edinburgh hospital, and, when cured
went to New York for his wedding
bust lost all his wedding presents.
This tale held good till his aunt
Miss c., arrived from England and
gave glimpses of his real history. His
name was not Robbins, but Horace
Rawlins, she said. He left England
in 1894, and wrote regularly home to
his friends until last summer, since
which time all letters to him have
been returned unopened.
Thus confronted, his true story was

HEADQUARTERS TO BE MOVED.
Illinois Central Is to Be Operated Gu,
OF CHICAGO.

Associated Press to The Evening Times,
Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 8.-Hereafter the
Illinois Central railroad is to be oper-
atei from Chicago instead of from New
York. Though 1t has not been brought
out before, it is fact that the man
agement of the system from executive
offices In New York has been the
cause OF dissatisfaction among the d.
rectors against Mr.. Fish's policy Of
operation from Gotham. Every other
big railroad with headquarters in Chi
cago has its president located here, at
the seat of war. The presidents of the
Rock Island, Milwaukee and St. Paul,
Northwestern, Sante Fee, Alton, Bur-
lington and others are located here.
This Is also true of other cities with
railroad headquarters.
While the Illinois Central has MAIN
tanned its headquarters in this city, the
fountain head of its traffic and start
ing points of its rails, its president has
insisted upon keeping his Office in New
York. In this respect the Illinois Gen.
trail has been alone in the field and it's
active officers have been handicapped
in their work. Mr.. Fish has done as
we'll, probably, as anybody could do
1000 miles from the base of supplies,
but the directors of the company have
at length become convinced that the
best interests of the property demand
the office and residence OF the presi-
dent be in Chicago, where are located
the executive Offices of other roads and
high representatives of foreign lines,
as the Union Pacific and Gould lines.
The proposition of managing the Illi-
nois Central from Chicago or New
York has now reached a head with
the directors of the company, and 1t
Is said that majority of them now de-
mand that the road be managed from
Chicago in fact as we'll as in theory.
This resolves itself into the election
of president who will reside in Chi
cago, and the man practically selected
is j. T. Harahan, second vice presi-
dent of the road, who has always main
tanned his Office here and who for years
has been the active head of the prop
erty. If Fish fails of reelection Har-
ahan is the logical successor. He has
been with the road sixteen years, is
favorably known by not only every
employe Of the company, but by the
citizens of all territory traversed by
the lines of the system. His election
would mean the operation of the road
from Chicago instead of New York,
but In no other way would there be a
change of policy. There would be no
changes in the official staff nor any
moves made affecting employees, ship
pers or the public generally.
