Carlyle Harris, the New York wife
murderer, who died yesterday, has
probably attracted more attention
than any other criminal for months
The desperate fight for her boys
life made by his mother and the equal
ly desperate fight for his conviction
made by the murdered girls mother
has intensified the dramatic interest of
the trial to a wonderful degree. This
erect handsome man of "A years has
an unenviable history. Born i'm
Glen Falls, \. Y, of n fine
family, he lived with his mother
in Brooklyn after she separ-
ated from his father. Mrs. Harris
was poor and Carlyle passed through
the stages of book-agent, clerk and
actor before he took up the study of
medicine at 10. In 1889 they went to
Ocean Grove, y. j., to live and there
he met Mary Helen Potts, the muir
dered girl. She was pretty and he took
fancy to her. Pretty girls were Il
weakness of his and his reputation in
that direction was unsavory. The
girls mother refused to sanction their
engagement, as while in Ocean Grove
Harris ran a gambling house and sa-
loon. After the return to New York
Harris and Miss Potts were secretly
married and in little while he began
to neglect her. She was in delicate
condition and an operation was per-
formed to conceal her condition, after
she had informed friend of hers of
the marriage in case she should die.
Afterward her uncle, a physician. dis
covered her state of health, and she
confessed the marriage, but Harris put
it off. At the time he was carrying on
an intrigue with a woman in
Canandaigua, n. Y. Tired of the : flair
he gave his girl-wifc some morphine
pills for headache. They killed her
and he added to his infamy By claiming
that she was morph ne-eater and had
simply taken an overdose. He was
very unconccrned over her death and
repeatedly insisted that the medicine
he gave her was all right. He dis
played wonderful nerve and GOODNESS
during the trial and only yesterday
showed signs of weakening. lie spent

cases of the thirteen men who have
met their fate at the touch of the mys-
FERROUS agent employed by this State
has been confined to the method of
the killing, as to whether it was quick
and painless or slow and torturesome.

fellow beings, and about whose guilt
there was no doubt and in whose cases
there was little to arouse sympathy.

West virginia ut tno Supltuh
The Washington correspondent OF the
Pittsburgh Dspatch takes this interest
ing observation Of the presidential solar
system:
Representative Wilson, OF West Virginia, comes
10 the white house so often that he might DO
easily taken for one Of the executive force. lie
has the nun Of I'LL the offices III the mansion, and
frequently makes 50 attempt TO eco the Presi-
dent but transacts his business through Private
sccretRry ThuTbcr.
1t goes without saying that one who
has the run of the executive offices, who
goes in when and where it suits the
business in hand, while the rest Of the
world ia cooling its heels in the waiting
room, is very close to the heart Of the
President. There are few men to whom
this privilege is granted.
The distinguished West Virginian
who presided over Mr.. Cleveland's con-
vention is conspicuously honored by
having tho run Of so rare a pasture
land. In view OF this white house init
macy Mr.. Wilson Ia tho man to BIO Gull
tlvatcd by those in search Of pie.
Heis more than all that can be against
him. If the others agree with him,
nothing is lost II the others oppose
his recommendations, nothing is gained
5y the opposition. 1t is q clear case
that Mr.. Wilson is the close friend and
adviser OF tho President. and the Prosi-
dent is the administration.
For practical purposes Mr.. Wilson
may bc said to DO West Virginia at the
capital. The boys may sigh to find it
10, but SO 1t is. The king willsit.
