The catalog of the Victor Talking Machine Company has this to say of her: "Nora j Bayes, with her inimitable foolery and clean fun, her admirable imitations and clever and witty songs, became in a very short time one of the greatest favorites on the American stage, and she continues to hold j the attention as well as the admira- 1 tion of her audiences, through sheer talent. "Miss Bayes is the life of every j production with which she is connected, and gives a zest to every moment she is on the stage." The county contests for candidates | for Queen of Palmafesta, now run-: ning in 45 counties in the state will j close April 8th. The young ladies receiving the highest number of votes in each county will spend Palmafesta week in Columbia at the expense of the Palmafesta Association.

Reserved seats at the opening game of the South Atlantic Base-ball season in Columbia on April 20th, have already been set aside for the 45 county Queens.

Chicago, March 30.?Josefa and Rosa Blazek, the "Siamese twins," died at a hospital early this morning. Josefa's death occurred first and was followed in a few seconds by the death of her sister. Physicians had declared early in the night that in the event of the death of one of the sisters the other would die quickly as their brother, Frank Blazek, had refused an operation which would sever their bodies. The twins had been in the hospital ten days. Josefa was ill with yellow jaundice and that was followed by pneumonia. Shortly before her death Rosa was afflicted with bronchitis. Preparations had been made for the separation operation and physicians were ready to make every effort to save the life of at least one of the women. Hope of saving the life of Josefa was abandoned at midnight, according to Dr. B. H. Breakstone, chief of the surgical staff at the hospital. "I tried to get the consent of the brother to operate to save the life of Rosa, but he refused to give his permission," added the physician. Dr. Breakstone explained that a delicate operation would have been necessary. Before their death he had expressed the opinion that the physiological affinity of the twins was so vital that if one should die the other might also succumb before the band of flesh and bone that joins them could be severed. Although the twins possessed separate respiratory and cardiac systems, Dr. Breakstone explained that they had only one set of secondary digestive and procreative organs. The operation, he said, would have necessitated the building up of a part of the digestive and other essential organs to save the life of one twin. Rosa was once married, her name 1111IIIHIIIUHIUHHHIIII STfl'lT>TlT>T>T>TlTlTfr>TliXI OTIC sh to Inform ? its that we are \ and will be as in the past. being short fo >acco F1 ik any of our c I ce in regaru iu urg Hardv m * mm aaaaBgaaagg^ being Rosa Blazek Dvorak. She is J survived by a normal 11 year old 1 boy. Her husband was a captain in 1 the German army and was killed in ( i action in 1917. She was married 15 i i years ago. Josefa never married. 1 The little son, Franz, has been at s the bedside of his mother, who, until < i within the last few hours was less t critically ill than Josefa. 1 i The twins wen; the second offspring 1 of a normal percentage in Czechoi Slovakia, 42 years ago. There were four other children, all norma! and < all still living. The father is also i alive, his age being 85 years. The ^ mother died a year ago at the age of i 65 years. 9 i During the tour of the world the " twins acquired considerable wealth. They died without making a will, although their attorney, J. L. Triska, J has hppn at thp hosDital several days in the hope that they would be in * condition to dictate the document. As the women grew weaker the c last night physicians pleaded with the ( brother to permit an operation, hos- * pital attendants stated. He was the only adult relative capable under the J Illinois law of giving his consent. . "No," the brother was quoted as hav- ' ing said, "no, not even if Rosa lives i1 for hours after Josefa's death. There shall be no operation." Appeal to Brother. Dr. J. Otragovec, personal physician of the t\<-ins, appealed to the brother without success. Their attorney was asked to intervene, but he declined to assume responsibility. t Two hours past midnight Dr. Break- c stone said there was not need of pro- * longing the argument with the brother. t "It is useless," he said. "The con- I dition of each is now the same?the * condition that forecasts certain death. e An operation now would do no good." j The two patients had had a gradual e decline, according to the chart which s hung in their sick room. The figures * on this chart showed the following: c Tuesday, 6 p. m.: J Temp. Pulse.

Medical records recalled by physi! cians who have been interested in the case disclose a number of so-called Siamese twins. The original Siamese twins, Chang and Eng, lived to the age of 64. They married sisters and Chang had six children and Eng five, all of them normal. Eng died first < and a surgeon separated them. Chang died soon after. Twins that have attracted world- 4 wide fame include the Hindu sisters, who were joined face to face, the con- jj nection being at the chest, the New- e port twins, somewhat similar to the j Hindu twins; the Orissa sisters, Raddica and Doddica, joined side to side; a the Biddenden maids, connected shoulder to shoulder with only two arms; | the Hungarian sisters, Helen and ( iT>TAaJlMAAIT*TITS>T>TkAtT>TC nn E! | our friends | i now open | pleased to | ir makin?
