Father of Dead Girl. Grace Brown, Is
Satisfied.

TIerkimer. n. ", Dec. 3.-Digtrict At
torney Ward called Chester Gillette,
charged with the murder Of Grace Brown,
to the stand for a few minutes Satur-
day, and questioned him concerning the
death of Grace Brown, on Big Moose
lake. He sought to bring out points which
had already been touched on in Gillette's
previous testimony. II was developed
that when the couple left for the lake,
Grace Brown took with her her working
clothes, while Gillette did not take his.
This is believed to be important evidence.
in view Of the fact that Gillette swore
he had intended to take Miss Brown
away and did not intend torcturn to
Cortland. Other witnesses testified that
Gillette had made preparations to resume
work in the factory after a weeks alb
senee. Grace Brown, on the other hand,
according to witnesses for the defense,
had hidden them good bye as II she
did not intend to return. IN showing
that the dead girl lad taken her every
day clothing on the journey, the prose.
cutien explained that she merely meant
to seek new home and to work and
help the young man who had, it Is al
legged. promised to marry her.
When Mr.. Brown, the dead girls faith
er, who has been in court throughout
the trial, left Saturday, be said; 1T

will be done

BISHOP HALL OPPOSES
INDIVIDUAL COMMUNION
Head Of Episcopal Diocese in Vermont
Confirmed Glass at the Church Of
the Good Shepherd
Yesterday.


AIT the Church Of the Good Shepherd
yesterday morning class Of eighteen
was confirmed by the Rt. Rev. Arthur
G. A Hall of Burlington, bishop of Yer
mont The class was made Up of the
following people Joseph &. Williams,
William w Calder, John w. A. Vaughan,
Lorne ]. Anderson, William T. Morrison,
Dwight s. Wells, Mrs. Louie II. Kirk
land, William K. Halvosa, Helen Parker,
Augusta A. Thompson, Ernest venner,
Christina Nj. Mcqueen, John Reid, Leila
III Cole, Nrs ziIpha II. nj 9irtle, Arthur
II. AyeriII, Austin o. Mcneil. Ellis Il.
Williams.
At The close Of the confirmation cere-
mony, Bishop Hall preached, more di-
srectly to the newly confirmed class, TAX
ing for his text the 5oth verse from
Ephesians chapter four: sAnd grievc
not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye
are sealed unto the day o. redemp-
ton"
He called the attention Of the class
10 the greater privileges which had been
opened to them and warned them against
making mistakes mentioning especially
the harmfulness Of nasty" literature,
sensational books and newspapers. In
explanation of the ceremonies, confrma-
tion and baptism, the bishop said that
the laying on of hands in the con6fma-
tion was merely symbolic, invoking, as
1T were, Gods blessing upon them, say.
ing that ii was not the dignitary of
the church which did this, but simply a
natural action such a. a father might
do in his paternal farewell to son
who was leaving home In speaking Of
the administration Of the sacrament, or
breaking Of bread, the bishop seemed 10
condemn the newer custom Of individual
communion. saying that even the mean
ing of the word communion was lost in
this fear Of infection or contaeion from
the general communion cup, and seeming
to imply that people were much more
careful IN regard to their physical than
10 their moral and spiritual welfare.
The bishop compared the church to the
government and to various secret societ-
les, saying that members Of the church.
in places. were liable to put too much
time and money into the various secret
organizations and too little into the
church. He compared the coming of the
bishop and the confirmation ceremony to
the coming of some high officer Of the
lodge or chapter. He warned the class
against hecoming members Of that large
class Of people who, while not exactly
black. are not white, "drabH people, the
bishop called them.
In closing the bishop compared the
confirmation to the sealing of a letter
or document, saying that the heart the
wax must be in a softened condition
to receive perfect impression Of the
seal
At the close Of the sermon the sacrs
mcnt Of the Lords Supper was admin
istercd BY Bishop Hall, assisted BY the
rector, Mr.. Freeman.

ter Gillette in the Herkimer
Murder Case.

Herkirner, N. Y, Dec. S.The last
scenes in the Gillette trial were enacted
today. The prisoner probably will know
his fate before another day. Extraor-
iinary precautions have been taken to
prevent lynching in case the jury's ver
dict favors the defendant. The militia
is in readiness and will patrol the streets
after the jury retires. IN summing up,
Csillette's counsel reminded the Jury that
the question Of the clients relations with
Miss Brown is not under consideration,
and that the only question was whether
he killed the girl, He declared the pros
ecution had failed in its plan to prove
as motive that Gillette had another
sweetheart and that be wished to re-
move the Brown girl 10 that be could
marry the other. He said that until now
there was nothing IN Gillette's life TO
stain his career.

DISEASE RESISTANCE OF DIFF
FERENT VARIETIES OF
POTATOES.
Summary of Investig atoms by Vari-
Gus Agricultural Experiment
Stations.

During recent years the disease re-
sistance of potatoes especially has re-
ceived attention by several of the
agricultural experiment stations In
the United States, notably those of
Maine, Minnesota and Vermont. A
recent bulletin of the bureau of plant
industry of this department., prepared
by L. r. Jones, of the Vermont sta
ton, summarizes and discusses this
work and that along similar lines
abroad, as we'll as the experience of
practical growers on the same sub
ject. Summarizing the results, Prof
Jones draws the following tentative
conclusions:
Disease resistance in potatoes is
relative, not absolute, no variety
known being wholly proof against late
blight and rot. 1t seems related to
general vegetative vigor. and is, there
fore. in a measure dependent upon
cultural and development conditions
and tends to decrease with the age
CT the variety 1t can be restored
by originating new varieties from
seed, especially of hybrid origin. Not
all seedlings show superior disease re
siStance.
Early varieties may escape the dis
case by maturing before 1T becomes

A Rust-Resisting Cantaloupe

In recent bulletin of the Colorado
station P. K. Blinn reports the dis
covery by local grower of a rust
resisting cantaloupe which promises
to be of immense value to the Rocky
ford cantaloupe industry. In this
case seed of the ROCKFORD variety
was purchased from five different
seedsmen. They were planted and
cultivated under similar conditions.
When rust attacked the field just
before the melons began to ripen, it
developed rapidly and soon de-
stroyed all the vines except those
grown from the seed of one seeds
man. Many of the hills from this
strain of ROCKFORD seed remain
green throughout the season and
produced a good crop of melons.
Further observations in the musk
melon fields of that neighborhood
also showed that wherever this strain
of Roekyford seed had been used
many hills were unaffected with rust,
while with other strains of seed Of
the same variety the vines were all
dead.
Mr.. Bfinn selected a quantity Of
seed from the rust-resistant hills and
planted them in comparison with Or
binary seed. "On the rust-resisting
hills the melons were hidden under
healthy growth of vines, and were
large, solidly netted, with thick, firm
flesh, small seed cavity completely
filed with seed. On the rusted hills
the plants were almost devoid ot
leaves and the small melons were
prematurely ripe, with thin, watery
flesh, large, open seed cavity. and
practically of no market value" (Sse
our ifhtstrations.)
In tracing back the history Of this
strain of seed it was found that some
years before a scotsman had saved
the first lot from a single healthy
