Brandon, Wis., November 3 —The question of
tho sex of Frank Dubois, the female husband of
the Waupun young lady, has been settled and all
doubts set at rest by a statement mode to a reporter.
The latter succeeded in tracing the couple^ from
Waupun to Brandon, where Dubois had proceeded
to avoid arrest, and finally followed them seven
miles into the country, where they had taken ref-
ngo at tho house of a farmer named Bristow,
living on the Fond du Lao road. There
Dubois was found and questioned,
and finally acknowledged himself tc
woman, the wife of S. J Hudson,
at Belvldero. Dubois was in his shirt sleeves, a
slightly-built, effeminate-looking personage, four
fo-t eleven Inches tall, slight figure, weighing
about 100 pouuds, hips broad, chest full, arms
short, and hands and feet very small and slender.
The woman known as his wife is apparently about
17 years old. about Dubois's height, and is rather a
pretty blonde with dark hair. 8he was in tears, and
appeared greatly distressed when the question of
her husband’s sex was mentioned.
CONFEMU HSR SXX.
Dubois was uneasy and cast uervons glances to
ward the door, and his small hands worked and

Baltimore, Md„ October 27.—An event has oc
curred ou Montgomery street, in South Baltimore
which, while of a strictly domestic character, has
Created Intense public interest among tho residents'
of that section of *the city, especially among the
ladles, irrespective of age. One evening during tho
week, Mrs Maggie McCuen, living in that part of
Baltimore, became tho astonished and happy
mother of a quartette of infants, and rather siegu
lar to state, ail were girls, healthy, well formed,
and, as far as can be ascertained at this time, de*.
lined to live to the average adult age. Mrs. McCuen
Is thirty years old, aud has been mar
ried ten years. During that timo she has had
three sets of twins and two single children a
birth, which, with tho recent addition of four girls,
make a family complement of twelve children
within the space of ten years; sud again, rather
siugular to remark, all are girls. Since this addi
tion to the population of the city tho houso bar
been crowded with friends and neighbor*, all anx
ious to see tbo new infants, talk about them and to
present tho mother with various gastroncmical
delicacies. Tnrough the courtesy of the parents,
the four strangers were.
JOURNALISTICALLY EXAMINED
By your correspondent. They aro all precisely
alike. It is certainly lmposslbze to tell ono from
the other, or the other from the third one, or tho
fourth one from the first one or any of the others.
Around the trim right arm of each infant there
was tied a piece of colored ribbon—No. 1 had yel
low, No. 2 crimson, No. S, bine, and No. 4 green.
"That, sir,” exclaimed the smiling and appar
ently delighted father,
tho purpose oi telling them
apart. They can not get mixed up now
so wo can not toll Laura from Annlo or Jennie from
Katie. Yes, sir, thong are their names. Now this
one here is Laura-no; let me see, she wears a yel
low ribbon; no, this Is Katie. And this ls-red
ribbon, Jennie; yis, this is Jennie. No, that one Is
Jennie, and this one is Annie. Yes, sir. you aro
right! Wheu the uurso washes these children she
will havo to be very particular about these ribbons,
and be sure and get tho right ones on tho right
babies for upon my soul—ss you can readily see—
you can not tell oue from tho ether, and it would
bo dreadful to get them mixed up and ooll one by
tho wrong namo.” While tbo father talked the
rest of the family gathered in the room, and the
general scene was strongly suggestive of an infant
bunday school class let loose ou a pionlc.
"You are right, sir. 1 am considerable of a father
for a young man of thirty-two,” ooutlnued tho
speaker, who is also considerable of a local humor
ist. "If I had the same luck -or whatever you
might property term It—in my busiuess as in my
domestic affairs. I would certainly at an early day
become a millionaire. Ilcro aro twolve healthy
