Helen Warburden, according to the
Michigan Farmer. advises the use Of a
solution of sulphate of iron to give
strength to weak flower stems. Many
tall-growing plants like roses, carna-
tions and fuchsias have such weak
stems they are unable to support the
largo full flowers, and must be staked,
and the supports are by no means q
graceful adjunct. Water the plants
with weak solution of the sulphate
when the buds are beginning to grow.
The color and beauty of the flowers are
enhanced by its use; and there Is little
danger OF injury unless the application
Is too strong.

NOW COMES THE REPORTER
And Gives the Lie Direct to Some of the
Above Statements.

And Gives the Lie Direct to Some of the
Above Statements.
In direct contradiction of the assertion
of the physician in the foregoing statement
is the account published in the sporting
edition of The Evening World of the ap-
pearance of the body of Smiler. The body
arrived in this city yesterday, having been
claimed by one of Smiler's deserted wives.
II was taken, says The World, to an I'M
dertaking establishment, and the account
goes ON as follows: "The reporter stood
close by, and was Mortified at the sight
that met his eyes. Smiler's face had been
burned and scanned by the electric fluid
until it had the appearance Of having
been boiled. The hair on the front of the
head, the mustache and eyebrows had
been singed and burned off. The face was
furrowed and SCARED as though with a
hot iron. These marks were not those of
u dissecting knife or scalpel. They were
palpable burns.
The Reporter Fired Out
Pressing closer TO see the dead mans
face palmer, the reporter attracted the at
tention Of the undertaker's assistants, and
they seized him by the shoulder and com
PEELED him to leave the place before any
other portion of the body was exposed.
10 repeated requests 10 De allowed 10 see
the body the reporter was informed that
no one but the undertaken and his assist
ants would be permitted to see it until it
had been fully prepared for burial. 1t
was learned through one of the under
takers assistants that Smiler's left leg
was burned to the bone through the calf
The eyes were badly burned, though the
eyeball was not destroyed"
The Eminent Editor Much Worked Up.
All the morning papers have comments
on the execution. All except The Adver-
tiser admit that electrothanasia is a
success, and that it will take the place of
hanging. not only in New York, but in all
the states, m due time. But the feature
of the law that comes in for denunciation
is that prob biting the publication of the
shocking details" as The Advertiser calls
them. That paper insists that the men

of The Times returns to the matter of
whether Lincoln opposed the renomina-
ton of Hanllin in 1864, in an editorial this
morning, which, eliminating lot of as
pensions of Nicolay's character, is to the
effect that ain obedience to telegraphic
request from President Lincoln / visited
him at the White House the day before the
Baltimore convention of 1864. At that
interview Mr.. Lincoln earnestly explained
why the nomination of well-known
southern man like Andrew Johnson, who
had been congressman, governor, and SEN
ator by the favor of his state, would not
only nation1lize the Republican party and
the government, but would greatly lessen
the grave peril of the recognition of the
Confederucy by England and France.
Had Nothing Against Hamlin. q
NO intimation, no trace of prejudice
against Mr.. Hamlin was exhibited Had
ne believed Mr. Hamlin to be the man
who could BEST promote the great work
whose direction fell solely upon him
self he would have favored Hamlins
nomination regardless of his personal,
wishes; but he beloved that great public
achievement would be attained by the cleo
ton of Johnson, and i returned to Balti-
more to work and vote for johnson, al
though against all my personal predilec-
ticns in the matter"

FIRE IN HATS AND FURS.
A Blaze at Cincinnati That Costs Three

CINCINNATI, July 9.-The seven-story
building on the corner of Fourth and Elm
streets, occupied by A. E. Burkhardt &
Co., matters and furriers, and Henry GER
schoffer s. Co., wholesale clothing, caught
fire soon after 10 o'clock last night and
was destroyed with all it's contents The
building is nearly new and cost
over 100000 to put up. Mr.. Burk-
hardt added $4,000 in interior
adornment within the last two years,
Mr.. Burkh ardt could only give a rough
estimate Of the value of the stock
in the building, and that he said was, to
the best of his belief, between $500, 600 and
100000. In addition to his own stock he
had large quantities of valuable furs on
storage. The amount of insurance is not
known, but is believed to be abous $780,
coo The loss of II. GeirschofTer & Co. on
their stock of clothing will reach 500. OCO.

ANOTHER DOCTORS TESTIMONY.
He Declines to Affirm or Deny the
Evening Worlds Sensation.


Evening Worlds Sensation.
ALBANY, July 9-Dr. 5. B. Ward, one
OF the witnesses at the execution Tuesday,
was shown The Evening Worlds report
of the burning of Smiler. He was asked
if he could corroborate the report. The
doctor looked perpleXed and walked up
and down for some moments in deep
thought and then said that his honor was
pledged to say nothing about the details
of the execution, and therefore he could
not reply. Finally the doctor broke silence
by saying: Il will say that not one OF the
executed showed anything like the dis
tiguration incidental to death by hanging
There was not one half the horror in wit
Messing their execution that would have
been if they had been hanged"
suppose He Was BIistered?
After another brief silence Dr. Ward re-
sumed: Electricity is frequently EN-.
ployed Independently by physicians, and
1t Is very common for the patient to he
blistered at the point of contact. Although
| have no such personal knowledge, it Is
affirmed that electric baths often blister
the bather. Now, for the sake of
argument, let US suppose that Smiler was
bIlstered, and, understand. ! do not for
moment say he was, what of it? He was

are very hke-those made on the Kemmler
execution. Very severe are the denuncia-
lions of Warden Brown for his "extraor-
binary and wholly unnecessary and futile
pains" to prevent the newspaper men from
getting the shocking details"
Went Beyond His Duty.
They say be went beyond his duty; that
he had no right to exclude press represent
atives, and certainly no right to put his
guard around the prison and establish a
dead line;" that the law did not require
nor authorize this; that the question of
printing the details was one for the news
papers to determine, and any attempt at
punishment therefor the duty of the dis
trlct attorney, who could under the law
prosecute those violating it if he chose
and thus bring the matter to an issue in
the courts; that the only way to make
sure that the executions were humane was
to give the widest publicity, and that the
responsibility for the publication of the
details would not have rested upon the
warden.
Doesn't Seem to Consist"
The Times speaks of the utter folly OF
the provision of the law prohibiting the
publication of the Details and the peculiar
unfitness of Warden Brown for any public
position requiring tact, good sense, and
regard for the rights of "law-abiding citi
zens," while The Sun says: This morning
The Sun and every other real newspaper
in the state openly and deliberately VIC
lated that section of the electrical execu.
ton law which forbids the publication OF
the details of an execution" The Sun also
