HOLMES TRIAL ECHOES.
THE MAN OF STEEL AND HEART
OF STONE RESTS WELL.
Care Taken to Prevent Suicide-Mrs.
PftzeI Takes n Drive-Mrs. Yorke
Will Have Her Marriage with
Holmes Set Aside.

PHILADELPHIA Nov. 3-H. H
Holmes, the convicted murderer of
Benjamin Pitzel. spent a quiet day in
his cell in Moyamensing prison.
This man of steel and heart of
stone" as the district attorney des-
cr'Nbed him to the jury, does not evince
in the slightest any outward signs of
breaking down. With death actually
before him now, he is the same cool
and callous Holmes. The prison regu-
lajtions prevent anyone from inter-
viewing him today, but a message was
sent out that he slept well last night
and was feeling comfortable and still
confident his innocence would yet be
established. Extra care has been
taken so he cannot commit suicide. A
double guard has been placed on his
cell and will remain there until he is
executed. He is Still in the untried
department, but as soon as the death
sentence is pronounced he will be
taken to a cell in "rnurderers' row."
AS to the other actors in this great
drama of the past week, many have
returned to their ordinary pursuits
Some of the chief ones, however, are
still here. Mrs. Pitzel and "Dessie"
drove through Paramount park today
and saw some of the places her daugh-
ter Alice spoke of in the letters con-
fscated by Holmes. In a few days
they will return to Galva, Ill Miss
York, Holmes third wife, will return
to Denver shortly and endeavor to
have her marriage with Holmes set
aside as being Illegal

Scene with Holmes Parents.

NEW YORK, Nov. ga Boston
special dispatch describes the reception
of the news of the conviction of
Holmes by the parents of the convict
er murderer. The correspondent says:
cold Mr.. Mudgett answered the knock
on the door and led me into the parlor
where his own wife and his convicted
sons first wife were. Mrs. Holmes
looked haggard and careWorn.

the result of the trial of Herman. Will
you permit me to tell you about it?'
g He is discharged, L suppose, said
Holmes mother. But they won't let
him be free, they will take him off for
something else now
He is free, [ suppose said old Mr..
Mudgett.

She closed her eyes and laid down on
the lounge, seemingly in great agony.
She anticipated the bad news, and
when it was broken to her she became
almost hysterical. Mr.. Mudgett SIM

ly overwhelmed in his great sorrow.
Old Mrs. Mudgett at last said:
The NEWSPAPERS have done US
great injustice in this awful ordeal.

VALUE OF TREES.

AS my wife and I were driving
through the country recently we saw
a house located in a field round which
was not one specimen Of tree, plant
or vine. The hot sun beat down upon
that house from early morning until
evening. and the winter winds blew
there unmolested. The children had
no retreat from the MONDAY sun.
There were no birds about that home
Everything had a barren and for
saken appearance. Driving on little
farther we saw a house. no more ex-
pensive than the one alluded to, but
surrounded with fruit and shade trees,
and with numerous fruit trees in the
rear, with few vines trailing on thee
porch, and grape vines trailing on tflsf
trellis at one side What a difference
in the appearance of these two homes.
One expressed comfort and content
ment; the other a joyless. desolate
life
Who shall estimate the value of a
tree? L know Of many men in our
city who would not permit you to cut
down a favorite elm in their lawn for
$1,000. If you have an avenue of ma
pies on your farm or in front Of
your building, at what price would
you allow a railroad company or other
: y
you have pear or apple tree in you =,
garden from which you gathered frukz
since your boyhood. at what price
would you allow me to chop down
those trees and place on the brush
heap? And yet how few are the people
who plant trees. Not one person in a
hundred is interested in this subject: 1
might almost say not one person in a
thousand. This is proven by the ap-
pearance of farms and homes we see
during a journey across this country
or any other country. There are many
people who enjoy the shade of fruit
trees not planted by themselves, but
by those who have gone on that Jour
ney from which no traveller returns"
And yet 1t is so easy to plant trees. L
plant thousands of trees every year
for fruit and shade purposes, and shall
continue to DO so as long as live, if
can find places to plant them. There
Is nothing that gives US greater re-
ward than the planting of trees OF
the thousands 1 plant every year the
losses are scarcely worth mentioningA

SENSATIONAL FRAUD.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Mrs. Sophia
Caroline Smith, fine looking woman
of DC years, was arrested and locked
up at police headquarters tonight ON
the charge that she had got many
hundreds of dollars with of goods
from dry goods stres by representing
herself t be Mrs. G. P. Huntington,
the wife of the railway magnate.
From one store alone she obtained
nearly $500 worth of valuable dresses,
silk underwear and other apparel. The
woman was formerly employed as
house keeper by Mr.. Huntington. She
is a widow and is highly connected.
Her husband was Anthony Ogden
Smith, who for years was the man.
ager of a wholesale silk house. Mrs.
Smith has lived at the Waldorf as
Mrs. Huntington, where she attracted
much attention by her fine clothing
and equippages, hired from livery
stables on the same representations.

CHERRY TREES PROFITABLE.

The four cherry trees at our Roches-
ter place yielded the former proprietor
one season $50 per tree, as ne informed
US. This is more than any one should
expect to receive from a cherry tree
and must have been during a season
of exceptional high prices. These
trees have borne us heavy crops every
year, without one penny of expense
except for picking and marketing. and
in addition to what we have consumed
and given away, these four trees have
yielded an annual revenue of SIS to S25.
But consider what an acre planted to
cherry trees each IS feet apart. 135 to
the acre, would yield at this rate.
The amount would be 1878 per acre at
S. per tree. This would probably be
more than could be realized on an av-
erage, but under a favorable yield the.
profit may be largely increased. I re-
call one farmer, whose farm is largelvl
cut up by the highways, who planted
cherry trees on each side of the road
as far as his farm extended. there be-
Ing perhaps a mile of cherry trees
These trees cost the farmer absolutely
nothing except the purchase price ansS
the expense of planting. These trea.s
bear enormous crops and their repus1N
ton extends for many miles around
Hundreds of people come every wear
to pick these cherries on shares or tn
purchase them. Why not you plant
likewise ?-Green's Fruit Instructor.

WILL BE NO STRIKE.
(special to The Herald.


BUTTE. Mont, Nov. 3-There will be
no strike on the Great Northern in Mon
tana, and if there is to be any trouble it
will be confined to the main line east of
Minot. The local railroad men, includ-
ing all branches of the service, decided
tonight that they would not stand by
the A. R. U. if a strike is ordered. A
statement was sent to Superintendent Nc
Laran and President Hill to that effect
The men have no grievance and SO I'M
swered the notice received from st. Paul
ST. PAUL, Nov. 3.-Local employees of
the Great Northern today claim to know
nothing of the reported strike ordered on
that line for last night. They said they
have not been advised of such a move
Butte is a very strong center, and it is
thought possible that trouble might be-
gin there. but nothing seems to be known
here about it.

A STORY OF STARVATION.

EMPORIA, Kan, Nov. 81. o. Jones, a
merchant from Admire, a few miles north
of here, relates a narrowing story OF
starvation and death. A woman came
TO Admire In a covered wagon. She said
she had been on the road three days and
was needy and starving, that her hus-
band had been sick and that she had
started to take him to his old home in
eastern Missouri, when he died on the
road. They had nothing to eat. Her
baby had also died of starvation.
When some of the listeners seemed to
doubt her story, she raised the flap on
the wagon cover and disclosed the
corpses of her husband and her child.
The woman was soon furnished with
plenty of food and went on with her
gruesome cargo, stating that she hoped to
get home to bury them Monday.

Signigcant Expression on the Po-
sition of the Powers.
TURKS ACT TOO LATE.
AMERICANS, SAYS THE TIMES,
HAVE FORFEITED SYMPATHY.
Nearly Provoked n Disastrous Disa-
agreement with the Powers
Probability That RUSSIA Predom-
mates the Armenian Question
Much Confusion in Turkish Fin
ances-Turks Buying Arms.

LONDON, Nov. 4.-The Times says
editorially: Turkish news is of a grave
and disquieting character. Like most
things Turkish, the appointment of
the Armenian commission of control
appears ito have come too late. The
porte seems to hope that the sum-
moning of the reserves will restore or
der but at best the process of resltora-
ton is likely to be a rough one.
The editorial then proceeds to argue
that the Arnenians, by their revolu-
tionary tactics, have forfeited the SYM
paithy of the English government who
have already, in their interest, gone SO
near provoking a disastrous disagree
ment with the European powers as
would be permissible to a prudent ma
ton.
Therefore, concludes the Times, we
are disinclined to risk opening the
whole eastern question for their sake.
