and today the house will be fumigated
and an investigation of their effects
made.
Food was found on the table before
the dead man. In response to questions,
his wife said she had been putting it
there since he had died. 1t was prob
ably the same food, day after day, as no
provisions, except the milk, are known
to have entered the house since
three weeks ago. when Walters ceased
going marketing. She was asked why
she did not tell that her husband was
dead; but she merely replied, wander
ingly: Get the ashman, and take him
away in the ash barrel. Throw him i'll

died Wednesday two weeks ago.
Frederick Walters history is varied
and eventful one. Born siXty-eight
years ago in Germany, he took part in
the revolution of 1S49, and, like so many
of his fellow insurgents, was forced to
leave the Fatherland. He first went to
Paris, where he worked at his trade as
chemist In Germany he spent all his
spare moments in study, and was re-
garded by his friends as an exception
ally cultured man. After leaving Paris
he went to London, met his wife, and
after he had been married several years
moved 10 Philadelphia.
!. All this time he had been interested
I in grinding, and after coming here
| spent his odd hours in perfecting him
self as lens-grinder. As a drug clerk,
and afterward as clgarmaker, he
saved money, which he invested in a
cooperative boarding house, one of the
first of its kind in the country. Having
perfected himself as lens-grinder, he
finally secured position with Zent-
mayer. then on Walnut street, where
he worked for years. Since then he has
worked for almost all the German op-
ticiars, and everywhere he was noted
Tor the delicacy and precision of his
work.
Walters was a great lover OF music,
and every symphony concert saw him
an attentive listener in the gallery.
Wherever he went he took his feeble
minded wife with him, and ever treated
her with tender solicitude. The little
Thompson street house had but three
rooms in it, one on each floor. On the
third floor was the old polisher's shop.

FACTS ABOUT POTATOES.
The Enormous Quantity Raised
During Single Year.

The Enormous Quantity Raised
During u Single Year.
American Agriculturist.
The potato crop of the world amounts
to the enormous quantity of 1850, 1000, 900
bushels, by far the largest proportion of
which is grown in Europe. Germany
is the largest potato-producing and
consuming country in the world, with
an average production of nearly 900, 000,-
600 bushels per annum. and in years of
large production exceeding 100000
900 bushels.
Russia comes next with crop of
464,O00,00 bushels, closely followed by
AuStria-Hungary and France. The
crop of the United States is small IN
comparison with that of Europe, aver
aging only about 170.000,000 bushels,
which is considerably less than that of
the United Kingdom. This crop does
not enter legally into the foreign trade
of any country, the supply grown being
mainly for home use.
Germany. shipping less than 5,000,-
600 bushels annually.is the heaviest eX-
porter, and the United Kingdom, I'M
porting about the same quantity, is the
largest importing country. The aggre-
gate European crops, are just about
enough for domestic requirements. the
exports of potatoes from all European
countries being only 100000 bushels
more than the total import. Under
intensive farming the production per
acres of potatoes is very large. This is
eXemplified by the crops from the
Channel Islands, where an area of
only $50 acres furnished 1887. 900
bushels of potatoes for shipment to the
United Kingdom. This was at the rate
of 265 bushels per acre in addition to
home consumption, and the export
trade amounted to 1884 per acre culti-

For Two Weeks the Man Sat Dead

A dead man leaning back in his arm

constituted the startling spectacle that
presented itself to Officer Lynch, of the
Twelfth district, as he climbed through
the window of 703 Thompson street yes
terday at noon, says the Philadelphia
Record. He had been led to inyesti
gate the cause of sickening odors that
were issuing from the house. The
man was Frederick Walters, wizened
old German lens poliSher, whose skill in
perfecting lenses for all kinds of optical
instruments had made him famous
among the opticians OF the city. He had
lived alone in tie Thompson street
house With his demented wife for fifteen
years, and had admitted only few
intimate friends now and then, and
during the past few years he had called
on no one save his physician, DR.. Arnold
Schott, of Seventh and Thompson
streets.
1t is three weeks now since the neigh
bors saw the old man making his daily
marketing excursion, and when several
days ago a suspicious odor became
noticeable iD the proximity of the
house, they began TO think something
was wrong. Yet they did nothing, as
the milkman who served the couple
with milk every morning said he saw
the old lenSmaker resting comfortably
in his chair by the table in the room on
the first floor. Yesterday morning,
however, the conditions were
so horrible when the feeble
minded old woman opened the front
| window to receive the milk that the
| milkman went across the street and
notified Druggist Goldsmith of the cir
| cumstance. Soon it was the talk of the
! neighborhood, and some one told Officer
Lynch. He Immediately went to the
i house and demanded admittance; but
| the old woman would not let him in.
| He climbed in the front window. and
came right upon the horrible spectacle
Whispers of foul play were soon afloat,
| but were at once settled when DR..
! Schott, who had been sick for the past
month and unable to attend to him, said
that he had been expecting Walters
death from exhaustion for some time.
Walters had been suffering tortures
| from cancer of the bladder or some kin
dred disease for several years. He often
became so weak from pain that he sank
exhausted in the street and had to be
helped home. Only Sunday three weeks
ago one of these attacks seized him in
the drug store across the street. Thi:
was almost the last time he was seer
| alive by the neighbors.
Immediately following the discovery

Nineteenth Century.
DR.. Deddoe tells us that there is a
direct relation between mems pursuits
and the color of their hair. An un-
usual proportion of men with dark.
straight hair enter the ministry; red
whiskered men are apt TO be given to
sporting and horsefesh, while the tall,
vigorous blonde men, lineal descendants
of the vikings. still contribute a large
contingent TO our travellers and emf
grants.
The plumage of canaries can be con-
siderably altered toward red or orange
by feeding them OIL stimulating diet
of red pepper, and, though this may
fail for humankind in general, some
thing might be done toward increasing
the pigment in the hair aud give hope
to many melancholy owner of gray
locks.
Suppose for moment that pro-
tective color. like that which obtains in
the fields, woods and hedgerows. ruled
in the world OF men, what an amazing
change would ensue in the outward
appearance of affairs! If rogue could
not at will assume the perfect guise of
an honest man and the gilded wasps Of
society appear as masons or honey bees,
or were saints and sinners alike com
PEELED to wear their own unmistakable
livery. when changed world would
this of ours be.
If men, like canaries or caterpillars,
could but change their complexion by
change of diet. mode OF life or pursuits,

NIABER's INJURED HAND

Causes a Weeks Postponement
of the Meeting With Moore.
John S. Barnes. of the Phoenix Ath-
letic club, returned home yesterday,
and he announces that the date for the
Moore-M Maber meeting has been post
poned a week owing to an injury to his
hand that was received by Maber in
his contest with George Curtis in West
Superior the other evening One of
the conditions of the articles of agree
ment was that either contestant could
have weeks postponement at will,
and Maber availS himself of this privi-
lege. Moore is in condition and ready
for the contest, and he regrets that any
thing should have occurred to fix the
delay. However. there is no question
that the meeting will occur two weeks
from Thursday evening at the Phoenix.
