MRS.SUSAN MAILMAN
 DROWNS HERSELF
Jumps Into Cistern of Water In
 the Yard
MIND WAS UNBALANCED
Count Hamon, Alias cheiro, the Palm ist, Was Well Known In Alabama, Where He Practiced His
 Art Several Years Ago.

Talladega, January 10.-(Special.)-M Susan Hallman, living in Casts beat, seven miles west of Talladega, commit ted suicide at O clock Friday morn- ing by jumping into cistern 16 feet deep containing seven feet of water and drowning. She was the wife of w. w. Hallman, a substantial and well-to-do farmer of that locality and the family stood well in the community. She was about 55 years of age, and it has been thought for some time past that her mind ' was slightly unbalanced. She had been dead three hours before her disappear ance was discovered
 Ellis Beattie, a well favored white boy about 21 years old, stood up for sentence under plea of guilty of petit larceny before G. K. Miller, judge of the city court, Saturday morning. This Is the second time this charge has been brought against him. He received two months for the crime and two months for unpaid costs. John Alexander was also arraigned on charge of vagrancy, and begging on the streets Alexander was white, stout hale, healthy looking and well dressed. He said he was guilty and gave no reason why he was begging. The court sentenced him to 72 days.
 Count Hamon alias Jack Warner, alias Cheiro, the palmist the pupil of Oscar Wilde who has recently come to grief in Paris, was in DeFunak Springs in March, 1896 and lectured there twice on the sub ject of pa1mistry. He was quite a fad among the northern lady visitors at De- Funiak Springs, and he was accompanied by a manager and press agent, who claimed to be nephew of chief justice of the United States supreme court Even at this early day Cheiro claimed to be a nobleman travelling under a nom de plume, and one of the scenes in his illus trated lecture on palmistry was a draw ing room of one of his ancestral halls in Europe Wellington Vandiver, who was himself featuring at. the time at the De- Funiak chautauqua, created some com motion by declaring Cheiro a fraud, and offering to bet that he could read the lines of the human foot well as Cheiro could read hand. Cheiro was a bril- liant talker. with a fascinating pres ence, and remarkably self-possessed on the stage. He had social veneer which passed for good breeding, and his suc- cess in beguiling women was remarkable His lectures were really interesting and successful, while his acting off the stage was decidedly better than his perform ance on the platform. Many Alabamans who were at DeFuniak Springs chautau- qua in February and March, 1896, will recall Cheiro, the palmist, and his lec- lures.

Duty to Prosecute.


 press the opinion that as the Presi- dent has had in his possession for several months the information gath cred about Senator Tillman 1t was his duty to instigate a prosecution if he believed the facts warranted action in the courts.
 It was rumored at the capitol today that the President had told a friend who repeated the remark, that an ef fort was made by Senators Hale and Aldrich to suppress the facts about Senator Tillman. Undoubtedly this im- pression was gained at the White House by visit to the President by MT. Hale, who suggested that the mat ter relating to MT. Tillman should be withdrawn. It is said that the Maine senator did not base the request upon the ground that 1t was not properly reply to the demand for information about the secret service, but because of the fact that Senator Tillman is in poor health and the charge was liable to rouse him to a pitch of excitement dangerous to his life.
 President Roosevelt declined to with draw the reference to MT. Tillman. and when Senator Hale would not make it public he decided to do so himself.
 TilIman's Health.
 There is no question that the con dition of Senator Tillman's health is serious. When he went to Europe last March he was in highly nervous state. The trip resulted In a marked improvement, but for some time his friends have noticed that his nervous ness was returning. Close friends on the democratic side of the Senate chamber admit their anxiety over the effect the Presidents charges may have upon. Mir. Tillman.
 Some of the senators who have ex- amined all of the evidence produced by the President and the postoffice in spectors say that if the facts are as represented the offense was one of i'm propriety and indiscretion, but that no criminality is involved. It was said that MT. Tillman might have intro duced his resolution calling upon the department of justice to begin pro- ceedings to compel the sale of the Oregon land at $2.50 acre in ac- cordance with the original grant, and at the same time apply for some of the land without making himself the target for severe criticism.
 The feature of the disclosure most deplored by the colleagues of Senator Tillman Is the appearance of an eff fort to hide the fact that he was an applicant for nine quarter sections under the terms of the original grant. In his statement in February last, the senator said that he had not bought any western land, nor had he Under taken" to buy any.
 The evidence submitted by the Pres ident sh ows that prior to the state ment, MT. Tillman had made appIica- tion for nine quarter sections. De- lending himself against the appear ance of having made a misleading statement Senator Tillman told his friends today that he should have said on the floor that he had not "con- tracted' to buy any land and that the whole case against him had been built upon the interpretation placed upon the word undertaken"

GROWING POTATOES UNDER
STRAW MULCH BENEFICIAL
wiII Bring About Good Results On HI1y Land Where
Moisture Often Does Much DamaSe.-By
T M. CSe1.

For growing potatoes on hill land
or where they are often damaged by
moisture the straw mulch will be
found to bring good results. For
straw covering the potatoes should be
planted the last of May or the first of
Iune. We have the soil we'll prepared
Mark off the rows two feet apart and
not too deep. Straw potatoes require
only about half the row space that cul-
tivated ones need, as the vines are
never so large and cultivation is not
required. Cover the seed with two
inches of soil and then with about ten
inches of straw, or enough to make
four inches when we'll beaten down by
rain. This will keep the weeds down
and hold the moisture throughout the
