TWINS BORN IN W YEARS
One Arrives as 1914 Dies, Other as
1915 Is ushered in-No Other
such Case on Record.

Philadelphia, Pa. - When twin
sisters in the Frankford hospital grow
up and write or tell when they were
born one will say in 1914. and the
other in 1915, and the records at the
hospital will bear them out. The rec
ords are to this effect:
Born TO Mrs, Anna Mckay of 1881
Hurley street, twin girls, on Dec, 81,
1914, and Jan. /, 1915"
The oldest of the twins was born in
the last minutes OF the dying old year
and the other came to life as the in
FAINT year of 1915 was ushered into
being.
The bureau of vital statistics in this
city has no record of a similar case
and so far as is known these babies
have the distinction Of being the first
twins to be born in different years.

the death of Mrs. Alice Ronalds, wife
of DIR. Harold E. Ronalds, a physician
of this city and a member of the city
isouncil, Coroner George NJ. Cook de-
parted for Chicago, carrying with him
the stomach removed from the body

tents of the stomach and also OF the
contents of a bottle found in the Ron
4alds'5 home when the body Of the WON
an, almost lifeless, was discovered on
Friday evening under peculiar circum-
stances. Mrs. Ronalds died without
regaining consciousness.
In the event. that the chemist finds
that death was not due to poison, the
three physicians who made the post
norton examination will open the
skull of the dead woman and deter
mine whether death resulted from
c~oncussion OF the brain or other in

LEGACY to Ecypt.

Forty-ive years ago Empress Eu-
genie, the emperor of Austria and a
host of other distinguished persons
were entertained with memorable
magnificence by Ismail, viceroy Of
Egypt. The occasion was the open
ing of the Suez canal. II the cere-
mony had taken place two days later
it would have synchronized with the
birthday anniversary Of Ferdinand de
Lesseps. the originator and leader Of
the enterprise. In 1898 First Consul
Napoleon hoped to make an island Of
Africa by cutting a canal across the
Isthmus Of Suez, but gave up the idea
in the belief that q difference of some
80, feet existed between the level Of
the Red sea and that Of the Mediter-
ranean. The concession granted to
De Lesseps' company will expire in
1868. Egypt will then come in for a

Miss Nina Stralle. manager of the

orally taken to mean that the Valley

of some of the harsh drudgery of life

lot, an equal chance. 1t might also be
stated that the ladies who were hand
ling the shovels were just as handy as
could be and were making the snow
fly like an N. P. rotary going on high
