rTaAI Ihyur big new manufacturing es- ta6lishments in Westerly mean ma terial increase in population and that, of course, means more business. more money in circulation. Theatrical man. agers are evidently cogniEant of the prospective conditions, and therefore an sffort is being made to provide more amusement. Already A. A. Ash ley of Boston, who has something in interest in one of the existing play houses, has already made proposition for the building of new and modern theater where the highest grade or performances can be properly staged. The matter of building a new theater has been preached to William Segar, owner of the Dixon house property, located right in the business center.
 In the rear of the hotel there is a large tract of land, almost as large in area as that covered by the hotel. Mr Segsr is considering a plan to build theater on a part of this land, with a large and attractive entrance in the open space between the Dixon house and the building of the Washington Trust company. The plan is to have an ornate entrance, but as the building is to be in the rear of the hotel build ing there is no need for ornamental ex terior, but to pay special attention to the interior decovations. MT. Segar said Saturday that he knew nothing of the theatrical business, but he was in ciined to the belief that a theater at that place would be profitable invest waHt if properly managed. MT. Segar informed MT. Ashley that he would give the matter consideration before giving a decided answer. He said however, that he possessed the most available site in the town for a theater and perhaps adapted better for that use than any other.

TO END HIS DAYS
 IN HOLLAND COUNTY John P. Warren, Wife Murderer, Par doned After 53 Years.


 
 John P. Warren, aged 73, who holds the prison duration record, was par doned Saturday by the state board. For three years friends and sympa- thizers had endeayored to secure his release, but the action of the pardon board, coming after a sitting at which no one had appeared to plead his case, came as a great surprise.
 Warren was informed Saturday night of the boards decision. Although sev- eral years beyond threescore and ten, he appeared strong physically and mentally. A brother. who is q pros porous farmer of Holland county. will take care of him
 For years Warren has been a trustv at the state prison. He said he would not leave the institution until he had taught someone else to do his work.
 In 1859 Warren killed his girl wife on his farm, and bid the body in the woods, where it was afterwari found. When arrested he admitted the crime, His plea of guilty went far in deciding the court to impose life sentence in stead of the death penalty
 After tifty-three years behind the bars Warren, probably the longest confined convict in America. is like a being from another world. Having gone tQ prison before the outbreak of the civil war, the aged man knows nothing of the telephone, the type writer or the automobile. save what he has read in the papers.
 A shade of mystery as to the reason for Warren's crime has always hung over the case. He confessed to the deed and calmly told of how. in July. 1858 | he had persuaded his~ young wife to | take walk with him, and on their | coming to a brook proposed that they remove their shoes and stockings and go wadlng. The wife, girl Of only l eighteen. aeduieseed, and they entered ! the water, Warren then seized her | and without fl word held her under the water until she was dead. The | deed was committed on his farm ir 1 Wilmington,
 Whatever feeling or passion prompt. ed him to kill his wife, Warren ha, never revealed, Tine crime was ap. paFehtiy deliberate and cold biooded The murderer e6nfessed, and only thu eloquent pleading of his counsel saver him frem death Strange as it ma4 seeln, ih fahe ef the facts the laWye, l SefuFea d second degree conviction fa l Warren, who was seRJeAced OH th. 1 very day Hetahie gathering of batFi ets Was held in Hartford to answer 1 call to preserve the unipn.

Farmers of America Could
Follow Example
GREAT CORN
Weekly Financial Review Points Out
That Scientific Farming Would
Have Added Millions To Nations
Resources Last Year.

Adding to the nations wealth by
scientific farming is the subject OF an
interesting story in the weekly IMAM
cial review issued by j. S. Bache &
Co. New York bankers. The cOnclu-
sion is that if the scientific method
adopted by ga North Carolina boys
had been adopted last season by all
the corn growers of the country the
yield would have been increased from
2,S11. 900, 900 bushels to $4,000, 1000
bushels.
The Review gives the Wall Street
Journal credit for digging out the fol
lowing lessons from the Tar Heel boy
farmers:
North Carolina Ices not raise
enough corn for domestic consump-
ton. Lately, an energetic State De-
partment Of Agriculture began en-
c%ouraging the boys corn clubs, where
in each boy is pledged to raise one
acre under scientific instruction. The
department now reports that last sea-
son ga boys in 65 counties Of the State
averaged $3.50 bushels Of corn per
acre, at an average cost of less than
80 cents a bushel. while one of them
produced 1865 bushels Of dry corn on
one acre Of ground.
The average Of the farmers for
the State, last year, according to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. was 1874 bushels, and for the
past decade it averages less than that.
This means that if the farmers
farmed by scientific methods, and OBJ
tanned the same results the boys aver-
aged. on the present acreage, the in
creased Weld Of corn would have
added 5 20 1000, 900 last year to the
wealth o the State-Or about twice
the farm value of her record crop OF
cotton"
The BaChe writer concludes:
corn under cultivation as per the gov
eminent report. and supposing the
corn armer in the United States
could average as well as these boys
and the crop instead of coming out
2,S11,00O, 900. based on 26 bushels tC
the acre, the total at CT bushels to the
acre would foot up to the enormous
sum of $4,000, 900 bushels.
Entering as corn doOs directly into
pork manufacture, and cOllaterally
into ~beef-making, with this enormous
crop OF corn the price Of food woulC
topple to lowest figures, and actua
living would cease to be a cost prob
lem.
That this is 4 land Of wasted cner
gy and is brought to mine
more and more as discussion in aS
riculture goes on. AS demonstrate,
bv the Carolina boys. farming in tn
United States for fifty years has from
a scientific standpoint been a joke"
