DIX TALKS TO FARMERS
Governor Tells of Need Of Con-
serving Resources.

Watervile y. Y. July Z7-At the an
nual meeting Of the Sangerfield Country
club here this afternoon Governor Dix
was the guest Of honor. He vas greeted
by several hundred persons, most OF
whom were farmers.
Governor Dix spoke OF the steady in
crease Of city population at the expense
Of the country districts. pointing out that
only one-third Of the nations inhabitants
now live In rural districts, and these
must produce the food for the two-thirds
who live In cities. He told Of the enor-
nous value of the corn crop and OF the
need OF scientific intensive farming. and
said:
Conservation OF resources is not the
locking up OF the productivity OF the
soil: il is not the hindrance OF develop
ment that future generations may have
an abundance. II means that instead OF
burning millions of tons Of coal mined
from the earth our water powers
shall be harnessed TO generate the same
means that We must have cheap lumber,
coal. iron, cotton and grain. We can
maintain our lumber supply only by re-
foreStatiou. We can conserve our coal
and iron supply only by preventing waste
and extravaganza in the operation Of the
mines. II means that cotton and grain
will WELD an abundance only through
scientific principles assisting nature in
maintaining productivity of the soil. II
means that we must use wisely and
carefully and save generously. This Is
true conservation, which VIII lead the de-
velopment OF our country 10 the highest
level and insure the greatest happiness Of
all our people.

IT was said no once owned the block on
which Lord & Taylor's store now stands.
When Mr.. Lyle drove away with lis
nurse in September, 1910, to be married In
Yonkers the valley rang with the talk of
the elopement. First there we're only
rumors but secrets are not lorg kept in
Jersey village, and rumors led to con-
frmations. II vas found they had mo-
tOred to the Westchester town and he'd
taken out a license at the bureau there.
White bearded Mr.. Lyle said he was sew
cnty-flve years old. and the blond nurse
said she was thirty.
AS a matter Of fact. Mr.. Lyle was nine
ty-one years old within the next month,
and some Of the Tenady women said Mrs.
Lyle was older than she said she was.
Joseph T.. OBrien, a deputy city clerk,
issued the license, but told them II was
good only In New York State. so they
went back to New Jersey and were mar
ried by Justice Stewart.

became i'll, and Miss Harmon left her
work as q nurse IN the Presbyterian Hos
pital to care for Mr.. Lyle's sister-in-law.
Six weeks later II was necessary to place
Miss Newcomb in a sanatorium at Morris
Plains. but Miss Harmon remained In the
LYLE home. and she and her employer en-
tered into automobiling with all possible
Zcst.
He had beeen III with pneumonia two
years before and it was understood Miss

Young Man Kills Himself in the
Palace Park as an Offer
ing for Emperor.

Toxic. July 2S.--No important change
IN the Emperor'e condition was noted
at the examination made by the ply
sicians at o'clock this morning. AT
that hour his majesty's temperature
wcs 1904, pulse 1Of and respiration 81.
Imperial University, one Of the physi-
clans in attendance, said that the
SYMPTOMS we're less acute and that the
respiration had improved.
After the morning consultation Of
physicians 1t was announced that con-
ditions were little changed. Fatisua
had increased and the pulse and res
piration were irregular. The Emperor
had little sleep and was restless. 4
The bulletins Issued last evening
showed that the Emperor's condition
had remained practically the same as
Il was on the preceding day, although
his pulse varied considerably. At ,
o'clock last evening his pulse had gone
down Ia 90 from 100 at noon. AT y
y CLOCK, HO"eNet, ~ i'oN -'SN" NS-'
but otherwise there was no change at
that time.
owing TO the nature Of his majesty
Illness, which Is described as due 10
a complication OF diseases, comprising
nephritls, diabetes and uremic poison
ing, he Is unable 10 take much nour"
ishmant, and his strength has been
diminishing gradually, Since July 10
he has been In a critical condition. and
only his robust constitution has en-
abled him TO maintain life.
One OF the state secretaries in attend
ance said that artificial methods OF pro-
longing the Emperor's life were being
continued and that an injection II
salt solution was TO ne tried. The
huctuatlng nature Of the Emperor!s
illness at times gives rise TO hopes OF
recovery and at others casts those
about him into despair. At all events,
his condition Is regarded as extremely
grave.
Several Cabinet ministers remain in
constant attendance at the palace,
around which vast throngs are gath
cred. This Is more in the way OF
sympathetic assembly. as the reports
from the sickroom are meaRre. Among
the notabilities who have arrived from
a distance are n representative OF the
ex- Emperor Of COrea and Count VI.
representing the peers and gentry.
The body of a young man was found
In the outer palace park at dawn to-
day. \ letter in his pocket stated that
nc had offered his life for the En-
peror. An autopsy disclosed that he
had taken poison.
