for a few seconds she said: "A man
ami a woman dragged me into the

down my throat."
The police attributed the crime to
jealousy. They have held a letter

husband under penalty of death.
Uussell Culbertson. the woman's
husband, arrived tonight from hawrenceburg,

Now York, March 20.?If you are
looking for something exciting,
something new and strenuous in the
way of religion, it will pay you to
take a peep at the Pillar of Fire
coloney situated at Hound Hrook,
N. J., before you subscribe elsewhere.
For genuine, downright athletic
exuberance it has all the rest
of these later day creeds backed off
11%/x V^.. I- - *
< uv; inuji. inn u?iu l iwilUU H)l) III llt'll,
Sometimes tho holy joy of the Pillar
of Fire folks runs so high that they
have hard work not to dance off
their 85-acre farm and into the
Karitan river on one side or the
karitan canal on the other side.
The headquarters of this latest religious
venture is on an island. The
sect was found by Mrs. Alma White
and she is the chief pillar and tire
main dispenser of the joy combined.
To he sure her husband, a former
Methodist minsiter and considerable
of a scholar, is with her in the new
enterprise, but he doesn't count
much. II" don't seem to get enough
"ginger" into his worshiping. The
20-year-old son of the couple, Arthur
White, is also quite active in
this religious-strenuous life.
"VW were Methodist once," explains
the lad, "but they became too
worldly, so we lfet them. Why,
the Methodist minister who took me
into lln? church chewed tobacco and
his son smoked cigarettes. So we
organic d the Pillar of Fire, with
father at the head of it. Fathei
is strong on literature and learning,
and makes a god lead, but give me
mother for tire and fervor in tho
holy dance and all the other work."
Mrs. White also dislikes the Methodist
b'causo they are not getting
enough tire into their religion, "it
takes real groaning for sanctiflcation."
she declares, "so I knew that
the Methodist were gradually sliding
backward. My grandmother told me
that in her days at campmeeting the
faithful sat down on the ground and
rolled over and over in the st'*aw.
groaning and groaning to ho pure.
And when they were made puie they
jumped up from the straw and jumped
over the hacks of the seats to
show their joy.
"So I determined to lead tho people
hack to sanctideation, and this
I 'd to the organization of tho s 11 ?r
of Fire. There is no restraint on
joy at our metings. We dance the
holy dance, we jump over (he seats
and we groan. We are the real joy
dancers and holy jumpers. Sometimes
the room is too small for our
faithful in their ecstacy, and they run
all over the farm, skipping over
the ditches, hurdling fences and
shouting their praisw r^r rcaly being
saved."
There are about 100 members of
the Pillar of Fire colony at the present
time. They all live on the island
farm and pay no board, tilling the
soil in the daytime for tlicir 'iving.
They spend about six hours at their
agricultural pursuits and about nine
in holy rolling, jumping, groaning,
shouting, praying and other holy
antics. *

THE WAY TO FARM
TKX THOt SAN l> DOLLARS FROM
SIXTY-SIX ACRES.
This h What One North (Carolina
Farmer Made l?y Crowing Two
Oops hi One Year.
Mr. I. W. Mitchell, of Franklin
county, N. C,. must be a farmer right,
if what he writes to the Practical
Farmer is true, and we have no
reason to doubt it. He says the
advantages and possibilities of early
cotton in Southern agriculture are
not iuny reuuzeu. rue trouble is
most farmers are trying to make
too much cotton, planting largely
of large boll, late-maturing varieties
with large stalks and of long growth
which greatly deplete the fertility
of the soil and are so late as not
to permit of growing another crop
for improvement the same y ar.
With improved strains of early
cotton, prolific and large yield of
lint from seed, the total products are
equal to the best later maturing varieties,
and at the same time it is
made possible to grow two crops annually
with but very little more expense,
one of either annual clover
rye, or vetch and a second crop of
cotton, corn, peanuts or p: as.
No other fertilizer is needed for
these crops except, phosphoric acid
and potash, as the leguminous crops
furnish UO to :?<) times as much nitrogen
as is usually applied in fertilizer
pi r acre. The stock to consume
? lw? Iw. .F -.Fill I

in value than the average farmer
pays for fertilizer, and you have the
increase from stock to soil to the
market. Your land will soon get
rich enough to grow vegetables when
a crop of cabbage, potatoes or other
early vegetables can be grown with
early cotton as a second crop to the
amount of $500 or more dollars per
acre annually.
I have chosen to grow improved
farm seeds in the full sense and
meaning the words imply. Sugar
Loaf cotton, the earliest, most proline,
largest yielder of lint from seed
cotton and total products. Sugar
Loaf Cocke's Prolific corn, which has
two good size, perfect ears, straight
rows of pear-white grains. The Hewers
of Sugar Loaf cotton all have red
spots. Sugar Loaf Cock's Prolific
corn is a distinct variety and may be
known by its perfect breeding.
Sixty-six acres constitutes my individual
crop and is enough for one
man to look after and improve as it
should be. 1 have it enclosed in
stock wire and sub-divided into three
sections all watered. One section is
grown in clover and cotton. nm> in
clover or vetch and corn, the other
in rye and peanuts or peas annually.
My gross income from products and
sale of seed amounted to $10,000
this year. The increased value in
improvement of land in seven years
is from one-quarter hale of cotton
to one and one-half to two hales and
from two to 8 or ten barrels of corn
per acre, or in money valuation $100.
MYSTEHY ABOUT SUICIDE.
Queer Action About Notes Left by
Mrs. IiOriliard.
Washington, March 2T?.?Nothing I
so sensational as the suicide here
yesterday bv asphyxation of Mrs.
Pierre Lorillard, Jr., wife of the
tobacco magnate, has occurred in
the national capital for years.
The prominence of the family and
the air of mystery surrounding the
tragic affair lend a peculiar interest
to this case. Intimate friends of the
family here heard of the woman's
tragic death late yestrday, but it was
not until today that the news became
general.
The coroner stated that ho had
in his possession a sealed envelope
which Mrs. Lorillard left pined on
the outside of her clothing, and
which read, "To be buried with me
unopened," as well as another envelope
which was left in the room
containing a note, but, he says, he
will not make public the contents of
either of these because he had been
requested not to do so.
At half-past twelve a number of
the most intimate friends of the
Lorillard family gathered at the Hillyer
street residence for a brief funeral
ceremony. For reasons unknown
the IiOriliard family observed
the greatest secrecy in regard to the
ceremonies, their servants oven denying
that any were being held. It
is saia tnat tne body would be taken
to New York during the afternoon. *
