It is seldom that there are united
two such compelling reasons for pa
tronage, from an interested public a
there are just here. Some times we
are given a poor production for a good
Cduse, and we go to see it, and again
there comes to us a good play for no
cause at all, and we go just the same.
But here, two wonderfully good thing
are linked together the cause and the
play. The library which is near to
your hearts anyway, and the "Fisher
man's Luck" which will be still nearer
when you shall have seen it rendered. '
Consider the cast!, Some members
of it, you have seen-before and you need
no information as to- their ability.
But there are several new names in
the list ,that is new to a New Bern
audience, but the excelent work which
they will show you, will prove -them
not new to the business of a stage.
Each one in the play is a worthy
support of ' the gifted ' principals
"all stars" and 'tis not often, that
an "all star company"- can be .seen
outside of the great metropolis.
See the play, buy two, four, six
tickets make up a little theatre -party
lend your influence toward making it
a success. and we promise you in return

The medical profession of Germany,
according to Mr,; Thackara. " ha ;re

WASHINGTON ; DISAPPOINTED
But
There Is Little Doubt -That
, Preaident-Eleet's Wishes,
. ' , Wiy Be Regarded."
Wasiugton, Jan. 1$. With a sigh
Washington received the ' hews that
President-elect . Wilson was : opposed
to an inaugural ball
And -"while there was manifest dis
tres(,sn "official ansd unofficial circles
over,ine laci inar mis Historic mnc
tion Vas disapproved by. the new Ex
ecutive the inaugural committee set
about readjusting itsell to the new
condition.' v.
; Of course ,the people responsible for
the success ol the- next inauguration
responded readily to the suggestion
from .Governor Wilson rhat the big
ball was not justified by the expense
it entailed upon the Government
They held one meeting and announced
after7 Chanman . Eustis had ''said that
he had" noo received the letter from
Trenton that another meeting would
be held-'on Monday, when the whole
situation" would be canvassed and an
effort made to provide some appropriate
substitute for the great parade of beauty
and chivalry which in the past closed
the official induction of Presidents.
White the unofficial committee was
considering the new situation the House
committee , charged with the details
for the official end of the function sus
Derided all its labors until definite word
could be received from Governor Wil
son, -v ..." ,. '
. 7 In his letter Governor Wilson sided
wjth Secretary Fisher,, of the- Dpeart
ment of the Interior, who has declared
publicly that to displace , the Pension
Office Clerks for two weeks would-mean
a , loss to the Government' ol - many
thousands, of dollars. The President
elect declared that this loss should not
be borne by the Government and that
unless some other arrangement could
provided the ball had brtter be aban
doned." .
Already Congress- had hesitated in
authorizing1 . the use of the - Pension
Building for this purpose. The chances
were,- however, that the Fisber protest
would- have .been-- overruled had notJ
Governor .Wilson-spoken as he has.
The inaugural. -committee was con
vinced that the-Usual program would
be carried out. "
1 hose 'hardest hit by the change in
the . inaugural plans 'are the W ashingv
tomans who havevsubscribed to the
$100,000 : .inaugural - fund with the
understanding that it. will be returned
ou. of the"t proceeds ol the inaugural-
ball ticket sales,".
In the past the revenue from thejjiill
and' from: thev reviewing stands has
more than repaid the people who have
ttSvanced the ' money 1 with, wicb to
finance ( the euadrenmal .-" Ceremoay.
The abandonment of the ball, theretore,
baselkited" a groan' from more than
one-Kjuarter 'of Washington.-.
The truth is however", "that the"visit
Lto. .Washington 2 of , 50tJ,000 persons
during the inaugural vweefc' will .more
than reimburse ! the Washingtonians
who may have subscribed to the fund,
this return will , come' indirectly in
stead of directly, ' as on 1 previous, oc
casions. V,? ' "i"'.
A movement is now proposed for, a
great reception to the- new President
and Mrs. Wilson in lieu ol the inau
gural ball. ;It is suggested that this
reception might be heldin the rotunda
of the Capitolj which would cost, the
Government nothing to provide. ,y v
But Congress, it is believed, would
never consent to the use of the Capitol
as a sort of side showHo which American
people would be "admitted for a fee. j i
Sltotild Hhere be an inaugural ball,
despite President-elect Wilson's wish
to the contrary, there may be no 1
"turkey trotting," "bunny hugging" i
nor "grizzly bearing," if it is- held iri
the Pension Building. Representative
Roddenberry offered an amendment
to the resolution authorizing the use j
of the Pension Office, .which is worded
as follows: .''-' ' ..'.'' j

Easton, Pa., Boasts Family Whose
Members are Puzzle 'To'
Medical World.
ALL OF THEM ARE HEALTH
All Normal With Exception ThaCf,i),
Chest of One Is Some- 'V
what Enlarged. ' ' - -'"
Easton, Pa., Jan. 18. Dr. James
Mo'rg'enstern f No. 137 South Third
street, Easton, has discovered a family
in which the mother and three children
are each provided with two hearts. In
vestigation has established the fact be
yond a doubt. The woman is Mrs.
Bertqjq Perkins, and the children are
Anna, Allen and Doris Perkins, aged
eleven and four respectively.
Dr. Morgenstern was called to the
home of Berton Perkins to attend a
child suffering from chicken-pox. While
inspecting the chest of the child he felt
a heart beating on the right side.z He
hastily shifted his hand over to th
left part of the chest and felt another
heart beating there, apparently as any
well-behaved heart should do.
Dr. Morgenstern then determined tu
see if the phenomencn was repeated in
the other children. He called in two and
again two hearts were beating, one in
each side of the chest. He then sum
moned the mother and she, like her
three, children, was possessed jpf two
vital organs, each pumping blood
through the body.
On the following day. Dr. Morgen
stern gathered together several pro
minent physicians of Easton and to
gether they carried on a minute ex
amination of all the children. None
of the doctors is able to account for the
unnatural number of hearts. v
One theory is that at birth there was
a non-union of the different component
parts of the organ, there is the right
ventricle and right auricle grew on the
right side, and the left ventricle and
the left auricle on the left side. If
such is the case, a condition exists in the
bodies of these people which is seem
ingly contrary to the laws of nature.
The septum cord, instead of forming
the dividing partition between the two
sides of the heart now forms one out
side boundary of each part. There
fore in these peqple the arterial blood
must be driven through the body
from the left compartment of the chest f'
while" the venus blood must return to- f
the heart in the right compartment. I
This would mean-an entirely unnatural?
formation of the arteries and veins
within all of the upper part of the.bodyi
One thing that supports this belief
is the fact that thaapex beats of eacji,
heat was not wholly as it should be
While other cases of compound heart k
have been known in the medical world. ' '
never before in the history of the pro-
iession have four of them existed ia',-.
