As the country grows older there ID
always increasing tendency to apply
special manures for each crop. rather
than to fertilize the soil for all pur-
poses and allow each crop to take what
it needs. The tendency is very strong
in grain farming, to which commercial
and mineral fertilizers are best adapted.
Vegetables need large amounts Of
nitrogen. which can not well Be held
in the soil unless it has . plentiful sup
ply Of vegetable matter. In that case
the soil must b made permanently
fertile. In other words. il is not posi-
BILE by heavy manuring one season to
make large growth Of vegetables on

phosphate, potash and

and barley can be grown on poor

CARLYLE Harris.

Carlyle Harris yesterday said fare
well to parents and friends and await
ed his execution by electricity for the
poisoning Of Helen Potts, his wife. He
showed nervous agitation and full APP
probation of the event of his execution,
but no signs of breaking down were
visible. He adhered to his oft repeaie
declaration of innocence, and spent the
best part of the last day with pen, ink
and paper, revealing the past and seek
ing TO place himself right with the
world he leaves. Mrs. Harris remain
ell at her clearinghouse yesterday and
did not go to the prison. She took her
last farewell of her boy Saturday after
noon. The seen was one of the sad
dest that has ever been witnessed with
in the prison walls. The mother broke
down in anguish before his cell door
and wept. She prayed with her boy
that the horrible doom might be avert
ed and kissed him for the last time.
Yesterday afternoon, shortly after 4
o'clock, Charles l.. Harris, the father,
accompanied by young Allan, went to
the prison, and the father and son met
for the first time in years. MIR. and
Mrs. Harris have been separated and
have lived apart for some time. The
sons have been with the mother. Mr..
Harris arrived at Sing Sing on Satur,
day and went at once TO the house
where Mrs. Harris is stopping. Father
and mother met again on the eve OF
the death of their first born, and his
death, too, by the stern decree of JUS
tice as a penalty for the murder of his
wife. Mr.. Harris remained with his wife
and his son Allan until yesterday when
he saw Carlyle and talked with him
less than half an hour. The father
took the train back to Syracuse, leav-
ing Mrs. Harris and Allan to wait
until all is over and they can carry
away all that is mortal of their beloved.

results to Mr.. Mclaughlin as seemed to
be the case. AsLynchburg is the home of
Senator Daniel, the Postmaster General
would be almost certain to take no decis.

suited. The matter up to this time
has not received, it is said, the Sena-

Searching for His Niece.

A stalwart and very irate farmer
named Joseph H. Lewis, who lives
near Occoquan, was in Washington on
Saturday looking for his pretty fifteen
year-old niece and the man who had
eloped with her. The story of the
elopement, as related by Lewis is that
about three weeks ago young man
came to the place of Mr. Frank Ches-
ney in search of employment. He gave
his name as James Lloyd, and said he
had just been to Washington and this
city but failed to get position at either
place. He was given work about the
farm, until he became rather intimate
with Ella Chesney, the old mans pref
ty fifteen-year- old daughter, when he
was ordered to leave the place, which
he did, but lowered around the neigh
borhood for several days. On Thurs
day afternoon the girl was sent to o
neighbours, but failing to return by
dark, search was made for her, when it
was discovered that she had run away
with Lloyd. Neighbors informed Mr..
Chesney that his daughter had started
in the direction of Washington in COM
pany with the young man, and her
uncle, Joseph Lewis, Immediately
started in search of the truant girl
Word was also sent to the Washington
police to be on the lookout for the run
Always. Ella is represented to be very
pretty young girl, ofplump appearance,
with laughing blue eyes, auburn hair
and rather talkative manner. Search
was made Saturday through all the
smaller hotels in the city. and Lewis
claims that he has clue that may lead
to the capture of the pair. Lloyd is
said to be a stubby invidual, about
twenty-five years of age, of dark COM
plexion, and wears small black nous
tache.
