Very Large Potatoes.

The Herald office has been re-
ceiving some very large potatoes re-
Gently. Monday three large tubers
were sent in by Mr.. A. p. Hayes
who lives on Mr.. T. w. Bethea 8
place near town and Tuesday Mr.
David Miller brought in large
yam. One Of Mr.. Hayes potatoes
weighed seven pounds and the
other two weighed 6 pounds. Mr..
Miller's potatoes tipped the scales
at 6A pounds. These are very
large potatoes and Messrs Hayes
and Miller, no doubt, would have
carried off the blue ribon prizes if

DEAD MAN IDENTIFIED.

The dead man mysteriously left al
the door of Mrs. Young Jones, IL
Richmond, Wednesday, at noon, was
yesterday identified by papers in bis
valise as Emo Whytehall, multi-mIlilon'
aire and owner OF large interests IN
the street railway system in Germany.
He appears to have been Scotchman
by birth, and was travelling in this
country for his health aud on account
of having had unfortunate domestic re-
lations in Europe.
He apparently lost his way in the
streets of Richmond, Wednesday, and
was overcome in the snow. Two negro
boys found him in serious condition
and put him in a. wagon which they
were driving. Mistaking the address
to which he wished to 20, they left him
at the house of Mrs Jones just as he
died. He was staying at the house OF
Mrs. Chri<tiana Juhl.
In his valisc were found two copies
Of will, in which he disinhcrits his
wife, Sophie F., and attacks her seve-
rely. The document also cuts off
with dollar each OF his two children.
Benjamin and Maud, for disrespect.
Documents found in his trunk teem-
ed with aphorisms, evidently penned
by himself, such as the following:
More men are led to their ruin by
the white, jeweled hand OF some wo-
man than by their love for:horse racing,
gambling, and fast living.

MKs. EsDnY HEARD FROM.

Messages from Mrs. Mary Baker G.
Eddy have reached Mrs. Minnie L.
Cove, wife of Clarence Cove. Of Ran
dolph, Mass, according to o statement
made by her yesterday. Mrs. Cove
says she is not spiritualist, and that
she is not Christian Scientist. She is
unable to account for the strange
frances which she says oyercame her,
and in which her hand is guided to
write messages. She refused to give
out the exact wording of the messages
until such time as she becomes abso-
lutely certain that they actually come
from Mrs. Eddy. The messages are
addressed to Mrs. Goye's father, James
Little6eld, of Lynn. Mr.. Littlefield
knew Mrs. Eddy we'll when the latter
lived in Lynn, 80 or 40 years ago.
In addition to receiving messages
which purport to come from Mrs.
Eddy, she says she has received several
from the late Grover Cleveland and
Prof. William James.
IN ono VI luc illeSSdRCS WiiiSh oho W
lieves came from Mrs. Eddy, the
latter declared the statement made by
Mrs. Augusta Stetson, of New York,
that the Christian Science leader would
return to the earth in the flesh was
an error" She referred to her earthly
body as merely n shell, and said it
would not again be habitated. The
message also declared that there was
no need of keeping watch over the
tomb where the body lies, and that it
would be better to discontinue the vigil.
Another of the messages which purporl
81 be from Mrs. Eddy is to the effect that
the Christian Science leader was mis-,
taken about many things pertaining
to the future life while she was in the
flesh. According to Mrs. Cove, Mrs.
Eddy has urged her to become more
proficient in technicalities, so that the
departed Christian Scientists may be
enabled to express better through her
"her amended views on the spiritua!
life,''

State Cancer Laboratory in Buffalo
the announcement was made yester-

"Our experiments with Ilaccination, .
said DR.. Gaylord, have brought re-

have n cure"
In the case of the boy an operation
had been recommended to remove
the cancer, which was located on his
neck. The boys parents objected,
and so the vaccine treatment followed.
The vaccine gradually removed the
cancer. and now all trace OF it has dis

While the Cost Of LivinQ

has been going up during the last twenty
years, the cost OF ELECTIC LIGHTING
has been cut two ways. Consumers pur-
chase light but they pay for electric
energy, the unit Of electric energy be-
ing the watt. The rates for electric
energy have been reduced substantially,
and at the same time GREATER LIGHT
per unit of energy has been made pos
sible. In other words. the LIGHTING
VALUE of the WATT has been in
creased and the COST of the WATT has
been decreased. The modern tungsten
lamp gives FIVE TIMES the candle
power per watt as did the FIRST incan-

stem lamp itself costs more than the car
