PRESIDENT'S ROOSEVELT’S DOUBLE.

President Roosevelt has a perfect double, who is a resident of Washington. Capt. Wilson B. Strong, who so frequently has been taken for the President, has more resemblance than that of a facial one. Capt. Strong was an officer In the Thir-ty-third Infantry, organized at San Antonio, Texas, during the summer of 1899. The Rough Riders were organized there in 1898. On account of injuries he received Capt. Strong was put out of service, going to Washington from Honolulu, H. 1., and he has made that city his home since. He is an expert in municipal sanitation and street cleaning, and waa closely associated with Col. Waring, of New York. A short time ago he offered his services to Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, saying that he would do for Chicago “what CoL Waring had done for New York.”
