GLOOMY ADVICES
ON COTTON CROPS

eH.MaZE @a.eAa"8
Washington. Oct. 6.-Financial and
weather conditions combined produced
today the most unfavorable report from
the department of agriculture on the
condition of the committee cotton crop
that has been mad at this season for
many years
After the announcement by the de-
partment of agriculture Of the figures
recording the average for this month,
DR.. S. "A. Knapp, chief of the co-opera-
tive demonstration work for the depart
ment of agriculture in the south, said
the serious falling off in the figures
We're due toatwo conditions.
One was the excessive rainfall in the.
early part of the cotton crop season,
followed by a serious drought, and the.
second was the failure of the planters
to obtain advances on their crops from
bankers. The latter reason forced the
planters to dismiss a considerable part
of their labor at a time when the boil
weevil was a most serious pest.

ESCAPES DISSECTION

Philadelphia, Oct. 5.-For more than
80 years nothing was heard from Rev.
James Williams. once one of the best
known ~Episcopalian clergymen in his
city, by his friends. Yesterday his body
was recognized in the Presbyterian
hospital just before it was to nave been
sent to the anatomical board for dissec-
ton.
He was a victim of dissipation. The
manner in which he lived caused his
retirement from the Protestant Episco-
pal church. He joined the Reformed
Episcopal church, and next his friends
heard that he was a Free Thought de-
batter. He then dropped out of sight.
Men who had admired his talents be-
tlieved that he was dead, or did not
think of him at all. His wife, unable
Ito bear with his alleged designations,
left him n died several months ago.
A week G he was found starving
in a room in the cellar of 914 Green
st. He had been without food for sew
,eral days and was suffering from can
Ger of the liver. He was too weak to
move. His only money consisted of a
Lincoln cent wrapped in tissue paper.

Cavalier has been much talked about here
in Paris. and, it is said, Newport has dis
cussed it with great interest. too.
Mrs. Vanderbilt, her friends say, has
threatened a suit. and they will not be
surprised to hear any day that she has
already fled it.
VIM. *. Vanderbilt, sr., who is here, is
said to be greatly upset over the unpleas-
ant publicity that has recently come to
his family through his son.
Not long ago, the friends says, he went
to Mr.. Vanderbilt, jr, and spoke sharply
TO MIN about Mile. Cavalieri, going even
TO the extent of declaring that he would
make his son suffer financially If he per-
sisted in keeping the family name in the
iimel.sht.
Young Mr.. Vanderbilt, however, de-
clined. it is said, to make overtures to his
wife for a reconciliation.

saying he had shot his wife at her re-
quest to put her out of pain.
Yesterday he was arraigned on the
charge OF murder. The evidence
showed that his wife was incurably dis
eased and suffered continuously and
intensely. She appealed repeatedly to
her to Kill her. He finally
yielded and shot her with a revolver.
1t also was shown that. Baudin was a
man of weak will, who was dominated
by the wife. The jury acquitted him.
