SHE HOLDS THE HOUSE.
Mrs. Dora Mcdonald Gains Possession
of Her Late Husbands House.


Chicago, Sept. 2.-Sick and nearly
CIV of millionaire Mike" Mcdonald,
the former gambling king" of Chi
cago, has returned to the family resi-
Gence at 4501 Drexel boulevard
which her husband had not allowed
her to enter since she is alleged to
have shot and killed Webster Guerin
her supposed paramount. The latest
action on the part of the widow has
startled the other heirs, who fear it
may conceal some legal trick affecting
their interests. Every peaceful means
possible has been taken to induce her
to leave but without avail and an
armistice has been declared between
the contending factions until Wednes-
day when McDonald's will is to be
probated.
Mrs. Mcdonald left the sanitarium
at which she had been staying since
her release from Jail on bond and
with her nurse. Amanda Beck, ap-
peared in a cab at the family resi-
dence. L. V. Hickey, placed in. charge
of the house until the will could be
probated was told Mrs. Mcdonald
wished to get some of her things.
Once entrenched in the large front
room on the second floor, however,
she refused to consider such an I'M
comfortable thing as departure. Last
night Mrs. Mcdonald remained in her
room on the second floor, while a close
watch was maintained on her by
Hickey. A colored maid is the only
medium of communication between
the two hostile camps.

NO HELP FROM GOULDS.
Edwin Says They Will Let CIowrey
Manage the Strike

New York, Sept. 2-After a 6.5OO-mile
automobile trip through France. Ger
many and Switzerland, Mr.. and Mrs
Edwin Gould, with the latter's sister
Mrs. A. B. Coykendale, returned in the
steamer Kaiserin Auguste Victoria.
One of the first things Mr.. Gould said
was that he did not place any depend
ence on the statement that his sister
Miss Helen Gould, would interfere in
the telegraphers' strike. Mr.. Gould put
it this way:
My sister knows very we'll that the
directors of the Western Union Tele-
graph company are perfectly capa BILE
of taking care of the situation, and she
proba bly, will not interfere
L am going to Lyndhurst, her home
to spend a few days, but my visit has
nothing whatever to do with the tele-
graph strike. 1 have not come home be-
cause of the strike. 1 am satisfied that
President Clowrey knows what he is
about and that he does not need my ad-
vice.

President Also RENTS NIoonshiner's
$1,000 Fine.

Washington Sept. president Roose-
welt has committed the sentence of AIDE
lene Rose, a woman moonshiner. who will
be released from Jail in September. in
stead of November Il. He also RENTED
a $l.e00 fine which was imposed upon her.
The woman was the daughter of a
moOnshiner and became the wife of one.
Two years ago her husband died and to
support herself and seven children she
erected still of her own in the noun
tains of Kentucky and proceeded to ply
the Illicit trade in which he had so long
engaged.
The revenue officers descended upon her
place one night, destroyed her still and
arrested her She was sent to prison for
six months.
The case was taken to the president, the
argument used being that the woman did
not realize the seriousness of her offense
and that her children were suffering be-
cause of her Incarceration.

Theatrical Ventures.

Chicago, Sept. 2.-Dismayed by the
condition of his financial affairs and on
the verge of physical breakdown,
Jose E. Hall. president of the Belding-
Hall Manufacturing company is on the
other side of the Canadian border
awaiting the result of investigation now
being made by the -company's creditors
Clay Clement. the actor, who with Mr.
Hall was associated in a theatrical VEN
ture, told last evening of accompanying
Mr.. Hall to Detroit. Developments in
dictate that the venture of the refIigera-
tor manufacturer into the theatrical
business when he backed Sam Hous-
tom was but drop in the bucket with
his other financial ventures. According
to Mr.. Clement who played the title
role in this production, Mr.. Hall in
vested but a small sum of money in
the play, doing this because he had had
a hand in the writing of the play.
Mr.. Hall was collaborating with Mr..
Clement in writing play at the time
he left Chicago. The liabilities of Beld-
ing Hall Manufacturing company are
estimated at $500, 900 to $7O0, 00O

KILLED BY PRISONER.
Policeman Neglected to Disarm Bur-
glars He Arrested.

Lyndhurst \. J.. Sept George
Cassidy a policeman. was shot down
and killed early today while endeavor-
ing to arrest two burglars who had
been caught in the act of robblns- a
store. The burglars were then pursued
by a crowd and rather than submit to
capture one of the killed himself In
a swamp. The other burglar escaped.
Cassidy had arrested the men and
started with his prisoners for the sta
ton house. when one of them drew a
revolver from his pocket and pressing
it against Cassidys coat pulled the
trigger. Cassidy fell dead and the two
men ran away. The shooting aroused
the neighborhood and a crowd gave
chase. The burglars separated. one OF
them making for the Passaic river.
When the crowd pressed too close the
burglar turned and fired fusillade of
shots. but no one was hit. The burglar
then ran into the swamp trying to find
a place where he could swim the river,
btu the mud and slime dragged him
down and he became exhausted in his
efforts to escape. Realizing that he
would be captured he used the last
cartridge in his revolver to shoot him
self. He was dead when his pursuers
reached him.

vantages claimed for the mulching
system over that of cultivation, but
will say that if I were starting conf
mercial orchard I should most GER
tainly adopt the mulching system. If
the ground were already in sod, 1
should not break it up, but set at once,
mulching around the trees heavily
enough to smother all growth of vege-
tation. If, however, the ground were
not in sod, should mulch the trees
and then cultivate the middles, des-
troying weeds and laying up store of
humus by sowing and turning under
leguminous crops until the trees were
of bearing age. I should then SOW
with grass, NOV often enough to keep
down rank growth, and place all or
part of the cuttings, according to
quantity, around the trees. The vigor
of the grass must be maintained at
a pitch that will insure heavy cut
ting for mulching, and, if necessary,
I should top-dress with stable manure
or commercial fertilizers. Growth un-
der the tree would be partly subdued
by heading them so low that the low
er limbs, in the case of spreading
varieties, when burdened with a crop,
would rest upon the ground. Then,
with spraying and judicious thinning,
Ishould expect to have an orchard
that would give maximum returns
with a minimum outlay, and that
would have no off years, except when
the inclemency of the season made
bearing impossible.

How Plants Become Mixed.

A correspondent OF the Galveston
News has a new theory OF the method
by which plants become mixed. He
cites some items from his own expert
ence which seem to bear Out his con-
clusions But there is so much evil
dence which is directly opposed to his
theory that we must be excused from
endorsing it, in fact we feel inclined to
dispute it positively. We shall be. very
glad to hear from our readers who
have had experience, as to their views
on this question.
I see in a recent issue of the News
that Mrs. R. R. Richardson, OF Meeker,
Ok, asks: "Can any one tell how po-
tatoes mix without b1ooming?" This
is question that can be easily settled,
although there are different theories.
Many claim grain of all kinds, cotton
and vegetables all mix from the pollen.
Others claim they mix from growing
together, but neither is the case, as |
think l will be able to prove. My
proof will be from an experiment that
thoroughly convinces me and my
neighbors who watched the result OF my
experiment. Some years ago enlarg-
ed my garden and the land I took in
was where a fence had stood for many
years and was very rich, and gourds
had been growing in said fence corners.
1t so happened that we planted squash
es where the gourds grew the year be-
fore, and the result was disastrous to
our choice squash, for it was bitter and
tasted like gourd There was not
a gourd grown in or anywhere near Our
garden, so I naturally concluded that
our squash mixed with the gourd
from being planted on the land where
gourds grew the year before. Not
being satisfied with this theory,
was determined to give it an impartial
practical test, so the next year we
planted few of these squashes, to-
gether with seed of other squashes,
side by side, on land where our beans
grew the year before, and the result
was the squash from the seed of the
bitter or mixed squash was bitter and
the other seed produced sweet squash.
My experience doesn't stop with the

squash, for as I have stated, | was de-
termined to give it fair and impartial
test. I planted yellow and white corn
alternately on land where cotton grew
the year before, planting eight rows OF
white and eight rows Of yellow, all
through, and did the same on a small
piece of land where white corn grew
the year before, and the result thor
oughly convinced me, for the corn
that I planted on the cotton stubble
land was not mixed; eight rows were
white and eight rows were yellow all
through; but not so with the small
patch Of about two acres that I planted
on the corn stubble. The yellow corn
was mixed, but the white corn was not
mixed, and white corn grew there the
year before
| put cotton and sweet potatoes to
the same test, and the result was the
same. Broom corn and sorghum will
mix from planting after each other
Oats and wheat will not mix by planting
after each other, but will mix by plant
ing different wheat where wheat grew
the year before, and the same with
oats. We often see fields of wheat
mixed; also oats, rye, barley and other
grain. | will not impose on your
accommodating editor by giving the
result Of my experiments ON the sub
ject, but suffice it to say that all vege-
tation mixes in like manner We all
know that fruit of all kinds grows
together in the same orchard without
mixing. This ought to prove that
the pollen has nothing to do with it.
10 be convinced on that line, suppose
you do as I did-dig up fruit tree,
either peach, apple, pear, plum or any
other fruit, and plant in same place a
different peach where the one you dug
up grew, and the same with apple,
pear, etc. You will find that you have
a mixture of the fruit that formerly
grew there, together with the kind
planted Understand that different
kinds of peach mix with each other, and
all other fruits likewise.
look for some theorist to contra
dict my explanation as to how this mix
ture takes place, but l wish to say
plainly that all the theories and specu-
lation on this subject that can be
brought against my own test cannot
convince me against what have learn

The Merits Of Mulching.

A writer, in the Country Gentlemen,
recommends mulching instead of cul-
tivating. We can endorse all that he
says and add that in Florida, during
