WORSE THAN THE ONEIDA COMMUNITY.
Miss Chevalier Exposes More Of the Abhorrent
Practices of the New Life Brotherhood.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SAN Francisco. Feb. 4-Miss Alzire
Chevalier. OF Boston, who recently ex-
posed the manner OF the frauds practiced
by Thomas Lake Harris. primate of the
an open letter to William Dean How
ellis, who recently. in Hsrpers' Magazine,
took Harris's part II the controversy and
expressed grave doubts of the charges
which she made of the stripping of con-
verts of money and %valuables and of I'M
moral practices at the community's head
quarters in Fountain Grove. Sonoma
county.
Miss Chevalier responds with q mass of
facts gathered from ex-members of the
community, and afidavits that seem to
prove conclusively her two main points
that Harris robs his dupes and that he per-
verts the moral sense of his converts
by o system of sociology more abhorrent
than the practices of the Oneida uni
~. One of Miss Chevalier's strongest
proofs is q letter of Albert Cuth-
bert. of England. who escaped from tho
community where his father and mother
were held as moral c~aptives. His mother
was the brilliant Miss Fawcett, of Lon
don. Harris put her in solitary ~confine-
ment and did not allow her to sec
husband or son for months. This young
man witnessed women bathing with men,
in q room devoted to Edenic baths. under
the direct orders of Harris. Among the
women VIII were made to perform this re-
pugnant task was Lady Oliphant.
Miss Chevalicr has q score OF afidavits
showing the hypnotic influence of Harris
and the terror he inspired among
his disciples. Many escaped from his
community. She has also many
atfidavits about Harris's luxurious
life and hardships of his converts. Ono
member of the community, now laboring
at Santa Rosa. brought $75 600. which
Harris Appropriated. Miss Chevalier
declares that she promised to carry
on her warfare against Harris as long as
her means and strength endure. She pro-
poses to ave the Postmaster general pre-
vent the circulation of some of Harris's
pamphlets and books. which are immoral.

Save Outside Rows.

Why will so many farmers stir
work their land in small pieces? tits
uncommon not to find q farm with,
the plowed land parceled out in small
patches all over the farm. This isa
great waste of time, team and money.
With five acres, more or less, to SOW or
plant on the farm, in every respect it
is much better to have 1t in one tract
than in five. Every operation with
the land is carried out at less expendi-
ture of time than if divided up. The
work can also be much better done.
Every tract plowed up, however small,
has an outside edge entirely around 1t.
This edge never is well plowed, re-
quires more time in narrowing, and
never can be as well done; if painted,
can not be as we'll hoed, and never
produces as good q crop. There is al
ways an 'sontside row. clear around
each tract, whatever its size, and there
Is only that, however large, the field.
With all In one tract the plow turns its
furrow unbroken throughout it's
length, and the cultiyator does it's per-
feet work to the end Of the row. Sys-
tenn and order should govern all the
work on order should govern all the
farm as well as in the m~aufactory. If
five acres are the dimensions of the
land to be broken, then begin on one
side of the field with what Is wanted,
and the next year advance with an
other section along side.-Exchange.
