NEW YORK. November ia deeply
sentimental attachment that for eighty
four years bound together the lives of
Mrs. Ada l.. Sanford and her twin sister,
Miss Eva l.. Emo, who had BEEN sepa
rated for scarcely more than a day since
they We're born, came to an end early
yesterday morning when both were ac-
cidentally asphyxiated while asleep in the
home of great-nephew, John Emo HUI
mason. No. 142 Wilson street, Brooklyn.
The old women, whose home was in
New Britain, Conn.,, recently completed
tour of the world, and were preparing to
divide a considerable fortune among their
relatives. They intended to settle on
each what they believed he or she deserved
from them, reserving for themselves only
sufficient to carry them safely to the end
of their days. The disseverance of their
fortune was to have been the closing act
of their lives.
They were unusually healthy for octo-
genarians, and retained lively interest

usual custom. they remained up until
after IL o'clock. when Miss Eva suggest
ed that they pay a game of whist But
as the other members of the family were

morning for fear of disturbing the

with their hands folded as If asleep.
She could not arouse them. and, detect
ing the odor of gas. perceived what
had happened.
When the sisters retired for the night
they turned the gas. low. SO that a
small blaze would be retained through
out the night. The light was ex-
tinguished in some manner possibly
by sudden excess pressure when the
gas was turned of in the other parts

room were closed and the door was

Ford Model I shows its real superiority. Because Of the light weight OF

the mechanism, the low fue consumption and little tire trouble and be-
ause of tn high clearance, this a has become immensely popular, espe-

Agricultural Department, as we'll as
the farmers themselves who are ope-
rating it, is contrasted with hand
labor.
The pickers do not engage the i'm
perfectly developed cotton OF diseas-
ed bolls, but they frequently pick the
tlocculent cotton from one side Of an
open boil, but have not force enough
impcrfectly developed lobes. This is
one of the most important features
OF the cotton picker.
AS to the cost of operation, the
maximum expense does not exceed
50 a day, including the wages of the
man and boy, and a gallon of gaso-
line consumed every hour for a day
Of ten hours. This is the average
outlay as shown by calculations made
in Texas and other portions Of the
South.
AS a result of this Investigation 1t
has been calculated that it gathers
% per cen Of the open cotton, actu-
ally picking from $50 to 900 pounds
per hour, according to the amount OF
cotton on the stalks and the rate at
which run. This is more than the
original estimate. Except for . few
green leaves, the cotton is as clean
as, if not cleaner than, that hand
picked.
This remarkable invention may be
called the life work of Angus Samp-
bell. a Scotch inventor, who, for many
years, has lived in Texas and has
