At daylight this morning, at the sug- gestion of some of the o.der membars o the congregation that an old-time custom now obsolete be observed, to publicly an- nounce tue deatn, the bell in the tower of the church slowly toiled off the years of her age. Itisa coincidence that Mrs. McKinley died at almost the identical hour of the dey as did ber husband on Thanksgiving five years ago. President McKinley remained up until about 3:30 o’clock, a little more than one hour after ths death. and then retired for a few hours’ sleep. During the forenoon he and his brother spent the greater part of an hour walking about the more se- cluded streets near home, securing much needed exercise and fresh air.

PROTESTS INNOCENCE - Willing to Aid in the Investigation of the Deaths of His Four Wives. NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Charles Zanoli, who is suspected of having killed four of bhis wives and three other persons for the purpose of collecting in-urance money on their lives, is still a prisoner at police headquarters. He continues his protesta- tions of innocence or foul deeds. In his conversation Zanoli expresses himself as being more than realy to help the detec- tives toward the solution of all doubtful questions, and Chief Detective McCluskey acknowledges that the prizoner had of- fere him assistance in clearing some of the deiails of the investigation, which have cost much time and trouble. The police have learned that the voung woman who bad been selected by Zanoli as his fifth wife, just before his arrest on Thursday last, is Barbara Hoffmer, 25 years oi ave, a resident of Brooklyn. She had answered an advertisement of Zanoli under the name of C. Wazner. Zanoli has a smatter.ng knowledge of medical ‘hings, which h- gained in his apprenticeship for the trade of barber in Germany. He is able to pull teeth and to perform the operation known as cup- ping, and is familiar with the blister raised afier the cupping process. It is possible, Chief McCluskey thinks, that he may be posses-ed with the same gen- eral knowledge of deadly drugs. The police are now satistied that Zinol did not make away with the child Lena Werna, daughter of one of the prisoner’s dead wives. The girl is now 1n Germany with her relatives. The body of Jennie Schlessinger, the fourth wife, will be ex- numed to-morrow. e O PHILADELPHIA'S BIG FIRE. Over Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars the Damage in Euildings and Stock.

CROPS IN LEINSTER PROVINCE. If Thera Is Any Want It Will Be Due Mainly to Bad Management. BIG PROFITS MADE FROM POTATOES. Wealth of Prcducers Would Be In- creased by Deallng Di.rectly With Consumers. EL The province of Leinster is in many ra- spects distinguished from its sister prov- inces as regar.s agriculiure, There is but a small area of moor and mountain—if we except the large tract in the County Wick- low—very little indeed. There is a large tract of rich grass land (Mesth and West. meath, Kildare and adjacent counties), and in the north of Dublin and in South there is mostly good arable lands and there are well-to-do farmers. Moreover, several railway lines running into Dublin afford a great central market at no great distance, so that this province is the.last in Ireland 1o feel the pinci: of want. The following are the answers given to inquiries about the relative plenty or want in the present season: A farmer i the arable part of the County Wicklow, not very far from the County Dubiin, boasts that he never had so prefitable a potato crop. His profit was $10,000 this autumn on this crop alone, ana the amount he had sown did not exceed (I was informed) sixty acres. This means that there was, on the average, a high price in the mar- get—that we knew already—but it also means that he had an excellent crop. if this good result were a solitary exception it would, of course, account for his large profits. But this is not so. Over larga tracts in the north of the County Dublin, famous for early potatoes, there wers neavy and sound crops, and it was re- marked in some cases that even where the leaves were blackened, and there was great and reasonable apprehension of extensive disease, the tubers turned oat remarkably soand. The high price of potatoes in the Dub- lin market is 10 be accounted for; first, by the alarm at the news—!appily false—of a total faiiure; secondly, by the certainty that the failure, even 1n the remote, sout and west, would necessarily increase the demand at the central market of Ireland. But so far as Leinsier is concerned, tbough the crop is deciiealy under the average, and even in some .laces decid- ediy bud, there is no talk, even among the most discontented, of a famine. The profits made by selling a large and good crop will be far above the average. . But, as is well known, the people of this part of Ire and do not live on potatoes. They bave long since risen o a more com- fortuble and a better condition of life. So far as they use their own wheat, Ido not bear them complain, and as recards oats, to usa far more important crop, I nave seen remarkabiy fine fields this summer. But the saving of them was difficult and expensive on account of the rain in the end of August. Still L do not hear that a meal 1s dearer NEW 7TO-DAY, The man with consumption used to be considered just as good as-dead. His doc- tors condemned him to death just as surely as if he had been convicted of murder and must die on the scaffold at dawn. All that has been changed. There is now no reason for the consumptive to despair. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery will cure 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption. “That is a startling state- ment, buta true one. Consumption is fed by impure blood. It is an accumulation of impurities in the lungs. If the blood is made pure and filled with the purify- ing properties of the “Discovery’’ there is nothing to replace the tuberculous mat- ter that is coughed up and expectorated. Gradually .the lungs become free and clear, the lung lining becomes sound and healthy, and the disease is conguered. Then begins the process of flesh building and soon the hollow cheeks are full, the step is firm and elastic, and health blooms in every feature and in every action. ‘I was taken ill in February, 1892, with head- ache and pain in my back,” writes H. Gad, Esq., of No. 313 S. J. Street, Tacoma, Wash. ‘I called in a doctor and he came three times. He 1 was bilious, but I kept getting worse. I took a cough so that I could not sleep only by being propped in bed. My lungs hurt me, and X 5ot So poor that I was just skin and bore. I thought T was going to die, till one day I was looking in a little book of Dr. Pierce’s and I saw where the * Golden Medical Discovery’ was rec- ommended for a cough. I tried a bottle of it and it did me so much good that I tried another one and it made me sound and well, so T can recom-~ mend it to anybody, It saved my life.”
