WOLTER DIES IN CHAIR.
Slayer of Ruth Wheeler Before the End Gives a Written Statement,
 "l'm Innocent"

Albert W. Wolter, murderer of young Ruth Wheeler, a stenographer, was electrocuted in Sing Sing prison. He protested his innocence to the end. Three hours before his death he wrote a letter in a fine copperplate hand. claiming he was guiltless and hoping that some day the real slayer would be caught. He showed no emotion when he went to the death chair.
 'I'm innocent" he said.
 Ruth Wheeler, fifteen years old, who had just been graduated from a busi- ness school, got on March 24, 1910. the address of Wolter, who had written d postcard to the school that he wished to employ a stenographer. The girl went to his room and applied for the place.
 When the girl did not return to her home for dinner that night her sisters started out to find her. They saw WOlter. He denied knowing anything of their sister, Lut the girls complain ed to the police. Detectives arrested Wolter the next day on a charge of abduction. Later Ruth's body was found on the fire escape of the fiat
 Wolter was found guilty, took an ap- peal and fought for his life two years.

DEPOSNORS MAY
 LOSE SAVINGS,
Majority Are Employees Of Con-
 nGCtICut Mills.

Depositors of the Windsor Locks Savings bank were thrown into pam ic when Justice Prentice of the su- preme court issued an order restrain ing the officers of the institution from paying out any funds for three months.
 Nearly all of the depositors are em ployees in mills. It is asserted by Con- necticut business men that a scandal greater than that at the time William F. Walker stole $565,OOO- from the New Britain Savings bank is immi- nent.
 Commissioner Holt ordered a trial balance of the depositors' ledger. Di rectors reported deposits of $4000OO. but an expert accountant finds the cor rect figure should be very much greater.
 Banking commissioners refuse to an, nOunce the actual shortage, but admit this may prove the most serious catas- trophe in the history of the Connecti- cut banks.
 Alfred W. Converse, the aged treas urer, was reported on Jan. 14 to have shot himself accidentally while clean ing an old pistol. He was fatally wounded and died at his home two days later. He was a veteran of the civil war. At one time he served as commander of the department of Con- necticut. He was also postmaster of the town for thirty ty-eightiyears.
 Banking Commissioner Holt a month ago ordered trial balance of the led gers, which the directors of the bank admitted had not been balanced since 1871.

Avoid the Blues.

The temptation to yield to the blues often assails people when they are weak in bodily health. Often it at Jacks them when they are incumbered by mental troubles. A wise elderly woman once said to young girl: "Any- body can cope with real trouble. It is the vague, intangible trouble that gets the better of one and clouds the gay spirits until one walks in the blackness of a fog" Whether trials are real or simply imaginary, a good rule for ev- cry one is to seek the sunshine. If there is the least Arrangement of health trust in God with all your might and apply to the best physician within reach.-Christ,an Herald.

 All the fungous diseases of plants, such as mi1dew, scab, blight, rust, rot, etc, are contagious. The contagion is carried from year to year in the dis eased part, be it leaf, fruit or branch. The presence of any of this diseased material in the orchard or vineyard in- creases the chance of the appearance and spread of the disease another year. Nothing is so destructive to the fungous spores as fire, and all affected plants or parts of plants should be cut out and burned,
