Refuses to Make Statement.

u TO MAKE statement
About noon a press representative was
admitted to the matron's quarters, where
Mrs. Chadwick is. She was sitting on
a couch with q silken robe thrown across
Eher lap, and was resting her chin In her
hand, a picture of mingled despair and
anger. The prisoner did not present the
trim appearance she has heretofore.
Her features showed the traces Of anx-
iety and the neryous tension she has
been under, while her eyes flashed with
spirit as she saw her visitor approach.
Who gave you permission to come
here?" she demanded, before a Ques-
ton had been asked. She was an
gered over something, and refused TO
discuss any topic whatever. She was
told that the promised statement she
was to make was anxiously awaited by
the people Of Cleveland, as wen as other
parts Of the country, and the public in
terestinthecase was again pressed upon
her, but she maintained the spirit of re-
sentiment against everybody, and es-
pecially the newspapers for printing the
interview that President Beckwith had

wick said: II have made my last
statement; l will have nothing further
40 say" and she closed the interview.
During the conversation her nurse,
Freda, sat beside her, stroking the
prisoners hands and trying to soothe
the enraged woman.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 17.-Mrs. Chad
wick will, from now until the time of
her trial or arraignment in court be
e her son and nurse will be denied
permission to see her except on the
written order Of United States Marshal
Chandler. Friday afternoon at three
o'clock an order vas received at the
jail by Sheriff Barry, directing him to
deny all people the privilege of see
ing her, and he at once ordered that
the nurse, Freda Swanstrom, who was
then in the Jail with HIrs. Chadwick,
be ordered to leave. This action was
in direct opposition to an order of
United States Marshal Chandler, issued
Thursday, in which he directed that
Emil Hoover, the son Of Mrs. Chad
wick, and the nurse should be admitted
at any time to see Mrs. Chadwick.
THE order applies to them as well as
to anybody else," said the sheriff, ''and
! will ignore the order of Marshal
Chandler. This is a county jail, and
federal authorities have nothing to say
about its administration. If they don't
like the way | run it, l guess they al
take their prisoners to some other
jail"

Sheriff Barry has done everything
possible for the comfort of Mrs. Chad
wick. and the implication carried by
Judge Wings order that he was allow

not pleasing t him. Young Hoover
and the nurse have been making
trouble eYer since Mrs. Chadwick has
been here he added. '"Thes have
been saying that too many people were
allowed to see Mrs. Chadwick and now
Z think that they will keep out Of here
themselves"
Turning to a deputy, he repeated his
orders to have the nurse leave the Jail
at once, and a feM minutes later Miss
lSwanstrom passed through the sheriff
Office on her way to the street. Sheriff
Barry further declared that no visitors
to Mrs. Chadwick would be permitted |
to see her, except in the regular visit
ing hours at the Jail, which are from
one to three o'clock on every day ex-
cept Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
The order of Judge Wing put a period
to the episodes at the Jail, and her at
declared that there would be
no further developments in the legal
end Of the case until Mrs. Chadwick
was brought into the court, either for
arraignment or trial.

Concord n. H. January 2
An encouraging feature of New-Eampshire life
which the States abandoned farms have been
adopted by prosperous and well pleased foster par
ents
The natural beauty OF these picturesque places
somewhat wild and neglected IN many instances
has been made the most OF by those now respoI-
sibe for their welfare who have washed the faces
and brushed the hair Of these deserted children Of
the Granite State. and have spent millions OF dol
lars in dressing them anew in wood and brick and
stone.
1t is fifteen years since the people OF New-Harnp-
shire awoke TO the necessity for taking active
measures looking TO the repeopling OF those
serted areas OF farm lands. which had become
many IN number and wide in extent TO at
ford an alarming symptom in any consideration OF
the health Of the commonwealth
AT that time the causes OF the ma1ady were dag
nosed thus: In some the children had left
the old homestead for other fields of labor while
the parents were in physical condition 10 manage
the farm, and upon the death of the parents in
later years the children had become engTossed in
business upon other far sestser- occupations
and could not return So the homestead farm
abandoned and went upon the market
Many farmers. either with children engaged in
some other vocations or without children having
secured competency by industry and frugal
habits. had retired from the farm TO the neighbor-
ing city village 10 spend their declining wears
at ease. Sometimes the owners OF farms seeing
only the bright side in other occupations and the
dark side In theirs. mortgaged the farms 10 raise
money for engaging in some other business. iE
which they failed. In either Of these cases the
farm for sale.
BY 1889 there were many OF these farms that
the legislature took alarm, and IN that year au-
thorized the appointment by the Governor and
Council OF a commissioner of immigration whose
duty It should be to bring about within the
OF his ability repeopling OF the rural districts
OF New Hampshire. Governor David II Goodell
and his councillors filed the place thus created by
the appointment thereto OF the secretary OF the
State Board of Agriculture. and a few years later
the two offices were formally consolidated.
The first statistics collected by the Commissioner
showed LS4S abandoned farms within the State.
The continued operation OF the causes named above
has been constantly adding to thi. number. but on
a smaller scale than the case fifteen years ago.
The proportton OF unoccupied farm lands within
the State grows surely less with each year that
passes
The reasons for the adoption OF these abandoned
farms have been various Many were attracted
nv their cheapness TO purchase them as invest
meuts and in most instances good dividends have
been paid particularly IN cases where the pur-
chaser himself settled upon the farm made care
fuI choice OF the crops he would raise and applied
himself scientifically to their economical produc-
ton and wise marketing.
