TURFMAN KILLED HIMSELF Witness Declares That Nan Pat tersoti Was Sot Kespoiislble for His Death in Hau so 111 Cab- New York. Nov. S. Another man, prisoner In the Tombs, has come for wunl with a statement reKimllntr tti shooting of Cetisnr Young, the turf man, for whose death Nan Patterson an actress has been under Indictment several months. He has been men tloned previously as the "red head ninn, who a moment urter me s.iooi Ing jumped on the step of the cab li which Young and Miss Pattejson were riding. John Latour, as the man Is known pleaded guilty a few days ago to steal Ing goods from a truck and is now awaiting sentence. At the time of the shooting he says he was on the way home, when he heard the shot and run after the cab. Jumping to the step he declares he plainly saw the fatal pistol in Young's hands, Indicating that the horseman shot himself. He called to the woman, advising that Young be taken to a drug store nearby, and then went on his way. Arriving at home he told his wife what he had seen, nut they decided to keep silence, fearing Latour's employer would learn that he had once been in prison and discharge him. Recently Latour was arrested for a second offense, and then decided that he would tell what he had seen. Mrs Latour corroborated his statement. BILL COUNTERS COMPETE. Sorted, Proved, Counted and Strapped $6000 in Small Bill in 21 Minutes. New York, Nov. 3. A money count ing and adding contest has been h-ld at the First National bank under the auspices of the American Institute of Rank Clerks. Twelve packages of mixed bank bills of ., 10 and ;o denominations and aggregating $6000 each were carried Into a cage under the guard of 12 policemen. Twelve representatives from as ninny Chicago banks sorted the money, "proved" it, ounted it Into $500 packages, strapped it up, and initialed it under the critical gaze of 500 of their fellow clerks. The first prize of $25 was won by Lemoyne Hatch of the First National bank in minutes 6 4-5 seconds. Neatness, accuracy and speed were the essential points. Two contestants were placed In ench cage' under the guard of two judges and two timekeepers. The contes tants were princlpaly tellers. Hatch finished one minute ahead of Frank E. Loomls of the Merchants Loan & Trust bank, whose time was 22 minutes 1 1-5 seconds. Munroe R. enables of the Corn' Exchange Na- j tional bank was third with 23 minutes seconds flat. The second and third prizes were $10 and $3. Before the counting contest men from the different banks added up 500 checks on the machines. The first prize of $25 was won by red Robyn of the First National In the time of 11 minutes, 39 4-5 sci-onds. 'he second prize of $10 was taken by Charles Novak of the Corn Exchange 12:15 2-5, and the third of $', by 3d win I). MeCullough of the National Rank of North America, now merged the Continental in 12:15 3-5. The checks ran from 90 rents to $330,000 and aggregated $1,500,000. $800 an ft ere, of which $500 Is neces sary for the tent. The tetttclotrr IS very thin, much like cheesecloth, nnd la made for this particular purpose. With good care It will last two sea nous. About 2,000 pounds ui'o pro duced an acre, which sell for about 11.460, the grower reullxtttg about $000 not. Although the grower takes many chances front storms, which may cary off his tent and leave the tender plants to the mercy of the element, yet there are advantages in growing the weed In this way. The plants can be placed lit the soil earlier, the land will not give up Its moisture so readily and there are no worms to kill when grown under a tent, I'nder the cover the heat Is penetrating and the plants grow very tall. In the open, plants grow about four feet tall, while under tent they are nine feet, and often the blossoms will push up the cover. Outside of a tent, plants are set three by two feet, while inside they are placed a distance of one foot upurt. and the rows two feet distant. T'.w rain sifts through the covering and falls on the plants In a soft, gentle shower. There Is more or less loss on the outside, while under cover every plant produces Its share of rich leaves. The topmost leaves are not gathered but, with the stalk, are plowed under to fertilize the soil for the next harvest. BEWARE OF CANCER OF LARYNX. Aged English Specialist Says Middle Men Especialy Liable. New York. Nov. 3. Hundreds of Seclallsts In disease of the throat from this and many other cities have gathered to hear what they consider one of the most interesting papers on cancer of the larynx ever presented In this country. It was prepared and read by Sir Felix Semon of Imdon, under the auspices of the section ou larynology and rhlnology of the New York Academy of Medicine. 8lr Felix laid great stress on the neces sity for men who had reached the agi1 of 40 to watch closely for symptom of cancer of the larynx. He ndvlsed those approaching that age not to .1 ay in seeing a physician If he were roubled by hoarness. The redness of the throat nnd tlte formation of a nodule In the vicinity of the larynx were danger signs, wnicn, ne saiu. should not be neglected. Sir Felix also contradicted the theories of many American proctltloners that If the ancer were recognized In lis early stage It could lie cured without1 the ie moval of the larynx. Attention was drawn to the Inipor- ance of making a mlcroscopul ex amination of a patient who develops suspicious symptoms. In describing his method of treatment, ho said the operation (known os throtemy) con- ists merely In laying back the flups f the cartilage known as the thyroids nd removing diseased tissue found i the larynx. In this way the pa tients' power of speech Is saved. Dr. Semon took the ground that op- rations which resulted In the loss of olee and weakened the patient were scarcely worth the trouble of prolonging a life which was attended wllh con stant misery. CLAIMS VALUABLE PROPERTY. in TOBACCO GROWN UNDER TENT. Cost is Heavy But Profits Run to $600 an Acre a Year. Baraboo, Wis., Nov. 3. Some of the farmers In Sauk county are adopting new system of raising tobacco, which has proven a success. It Is cultivated under the cover of a tent and one farmer near Sauk county ha.) Just harvested one of the finest cropn of high grade tobacco ever raised In the state. Two acres were devoted to the crop, which was entirely covered with a tent, Sumatra tobacco was grown exclu sively, and the leaves produced are very thin. They are of lighter color than those In the open field, and as soon as they attain the proper size and texture are taken from the parent plant for curing. The cost and net profit of raising to. bacco in this way Is an Interesting feature. The total expenditure for raising tobacco under cover Is about today.

UP-TO-DATE METHODS For Purifying and Beautifying tbo Skin, Scalp, Hair and Hands. Socrates Called beauty a ihort-llTed tyranny, Plato a privilege of nature, Theocritus, a delightful prejudice, Thcophraatus a silent cheat, Caroeadea a solitary kingdom, Homer a glorloua gift of nature, Ovid a favor of the gods. Arlstotlo affirmed that beauty was better than all the letters of rec ommetiilatlon la the world, and yet none of these distinguished authorities has left us even a hint of how beauty Is to be perpetuated, or the ravage, of age and disease defied. Time soon blends the lily and the rose into the pallor of age, disease dots the fair face with cutaneous disfigurations aud crimsons the Roman nose with nnslght ly flushes, moth, if not rust, corrupt the glory of eyes, teeth, and Hps yet besutlful by defacing the complexion, and fills the sensitive soul with agony. If such be the unhappy condition of one atUicted with slight skin hlemUh.es, wbat must be the feelings of those In whom torturing humors nave for years run riot, covering the akin with scales and aores and charging the blood with poisonous elements to be come a part of the system uutll death f It Is lo the treatment of torturing, disfiguring humors and affections of the skin, scalp and blood, with loss of hair, that the Cutlcura remedies have achieved their greatest success. Orig inal In composition, scientifically com pounded, absolutely pure, unchange able In any climate, always ready, aud agreeable to the moat delicate and sen sltlve, they present to young and old the most successful curatives of mod era time.
