q. n. II is In this house that some
eight or nine members Of the smari
set were imprisoned during the course
of dinner party. when the Japanese
butler developed smallpox. The party
shut in the house includes Miss Kath-
crime McNair, the daughter of Theo-
dore McNair Of the Inter-Ocean sys-
tenn; Mr.. and Mrs Dallas Brown, the
Misses Mercer, Maxwell Reed. the
well-known clubman and whip, and
Mr.. Thomas HARRISON, guest of the
Dallas Browns and a South American
Officer McCloud's story, told to
Chronicle reporter this morning, is as
follows: The occupants OF the houss
had been uneasy all day. From the
air of subdued hustle, and from a care
full inspection Of the roof, made by the
entire party during the afternoon, his
suspicion had been aroused. Nothing
unusual, however, occurred during the
early part of the night From eight
o'clock to twelve McCloud was re-
lieved from duty, his place being
taken by Michael Shane of the Eighty
sixth street station
when McCloud came on duty at
midnight, Shane reported that about
II o'clock the searchlight of steamer
on the river, flashing over the house,
had shown man crouching on the
parapet, evidently surveying the roof
across, which at this point Is only IL
feet distant, with view of making
his escape. On seeing Shane below,
however, he had beat retreat, but
not before the officer had seen him
distinctly. He was dressed in evening
clothes and wore light tan over
coat
Officer McCloud relieved Shane at
midnight, and sent for a plain-c1othes
man from the station house. This man
was stationed on the roof of the Bev-
1ngton residence next door, with strict
injunctions to prevent an escape from
the guaranteed mansion. Nothing
suspicious having occurred, the nan
on the roof left about a. m, report
ing to McCloud below that everything
was quiet. At that moment, glancing
skyward, one Of the officers was as
founded to see a long narrow board
project itself from the coping of the
Wilson house, waver uncertainty for
moment, and then advance stealth
lily toward the parapet across. When
1t was within a foot or two of a rest
ing place, McCloud called sharply to
the invisible refugee above, at the
same time firing his revolver in the
ground
The result was surprising. The
board stopped, trembled, swayed lit
tie. and dropped, missing the vigilant
officer by hairs breadth. and crash
ing to the cement with terrific force.

TRY NUT DIET FOR CANCER
London Physician Is Confident the
Dreaded Disease Can Be Cured
by Means Of Food

London.-A nut diet is the latest
idea in the medical world as a pos
sible cure for cancer Dr. Alexander
Haig, the noted authority on the In
fiuence of uric acid In disease, is the
one who advances this theory. In a
letter to the Lancet, a medical publ
cation, he appeals to the profession to
assist him in probing the possibilities
of a real cure Of cancer by dieting.
It has been generally assumed hither-
to that when a recovery from cancer
takes place the disease has not been
properly diagnosed.
Doctor Hatg now appeals to his pro-
fessional brethren to send him thirty
or forty cases of imperative cancer
for treatment. He has for years held
the belief that diet is an important
point in the treatment of cancer. The
cases he requires must have prob
ability of at least six months of life,
as change of diet produces little Wis
ible effect on the patient under three
months.
Doctor Haig's treatment consists in
putting the patient on free-from-
uric-acid" diet and from that on nut
diet, with fruit juices and distilled
water as the only liquids allowed.

Thirty-Seven Couples Married in
rs Minutes.
Confusion Will Result Unless Great
Care Is observation-disclosures Tells
Minister Not to Marry Her to
Wrong BIoke."

London.-Thirty-se weddings in
seventy-fve minutes, seventy-four peo-
pie made made happy at the rate Of
one a minute, was the record achieved
by the vicar of st. Luke's Canning
Town (t'the cathedral of the East')
and his curate on a recent holiday
morning.
Never was there such a rush of
marriages at this beautiful church in
Dockland. Despite all the persuasion
of the vicar, these thirty-seven copies
insisted upon being married on that
particular morning, after due calling
of banns and payment Of fees. Canon
Buckley would have spread the wed
dings over several days, but Canning
Town refused, and only one couple
postponed the ceremony.
How was 1t done? The day before
the ceremony was performed most of
the couples called at the vicarage and
furnished the particulars required for
the registry of the marriage. By 8
o'clock next morning they began to as
semble in vestry-room adjoining the
church. Here they were sorted out
and instructed by the curate, and at
9:45 o'clock the couples marched in
twos and threes-once six couples
at time to the altar By IL o'clock
they were all married.
Canon Buckley maintains an admir-
able disciple in on such occasions. He
permits no one to lay a trail of con-
fetti in the church which he has Ia
bored for so many years to decorate
and beautify. Before nov he has been
known to order bride to leave the
church and shake the little colored
bits of paper from her skirt before
she approached the altar. He allows
no laughter or talking, and should he
see a woman's head uncovered he re-
Quires her at once to cover it with her
apron. In spite, therefore, Of the
rough character Of the people who
flock to these holiday weddings, order
is often better preserved than at a

Clover Helps
Sandy Soils
RetainNeeded
Elements

1t has been shown that the raising
of legurnes benefits the soil in two
ways, viz, by increasing the humus
and by supplying the soil with nitro
gen. Other crops, 1t Is true, such as
rye, buckwheat, millet, etc, will also
increase the humus If plowed under
for green manure, but not nearly so
much so rs q good crop of legumes
because the latter have, as a rule, q
much greater root system. Besides
this, other crops have the disadvant-
age of not adding any fertility to the
soil even Fl the whole crop is plowed
under. There Is a great difference In
the habit Of growth, productiveness,
use, value as feed, green manure or
soiling crop. ability of supplying nitro
gen and humus, and sureness of Sc
curing a catch, between the different
legumes adapted to this climate and
soil.
Medium Red Glover Good.
OF all legumes, medium red and
mammoth clover are perhaps better
adapted to sandy soils than any 9TH
er. They are very closely allied in
that they are both biennial plants and
require about the same conditions.
Mammoth clover, however, under the
same conditions grows much more
stalky and coarser than the medium
red, but when the former is seeded
on sandy soil it grows to about the
same size that the latter attains on
a clay or clay loan.
To introduce clover on these soils,
the field should be plowed as early
as possible In the spring and then
top-dressed with ground limestone.
This crop is very sensitive to acid
