DeTotloa of Hia Mother Special Dispatch to tos Cksoxicul New York February 3 The Prosecuting Attorney made public to night a statement of the doable life led by Carlyle Harris the young wife poisoner who was connoted last nixht daring tbe last few years In the early part of his trial a gentleman living in Connecticut wrote to Attorney Wellman imparting some information which caused the attorney to summon him to New io te He told Wellman that about seven years ago he was acquainted with a young woman named Lulu an Zandt who was married at the age of 14 to one Charles Hams who was then 16 years old Within a fortnight the girl discovered that his first name was Carlyle and that he was well born and had an uncle who was a famous physician Harris grandfather Mc Cready was probablv the one referred to The pair soon went to Connecticut to live where the young wife detected her husband in an intrigue with another girl and In disgust left him returning to liewYork where afterwards a criminal operation was performed Inspector Byrnes men found this girl at Perth Am boy where she was living a physical wreck from the effect ot the operation She could not be induced to come to New York to testify as Hams had threatened her so that she lived in perfect terror of htm Numerous other intrigues of Hams came to light Curing his engagement to Helen Potts he wished to eneage himself to a young lady in Ashbury Park and when she asked him about Helen he re pliei that he was tired of her and wanted to shake her He was also engazed to marry a young ladv living in Brooklyn a close friend of his mother Betr iysls of girls by Harris seem to have been numerous He was at one time employed as purser on the Old Do Dion steamship line and the officers tell many tales about his habits THE MCRUEKKK MOTHER A Remarkable Instance of Blind Unwavering Faith and Love A figure in the trial of Carlyle Har ns charged with havfng poisoned his wife with morphine that has attracted considerable attention and has been regarded with more than ordinary interest says the New York Sun is that of the voung man mother Mrs Harris as she his repeatedly info med those with whom tie has come in contact has been a lect urer On ten pernce and kindred subjects She a woman of mrd um height rather solidly built and of an earnestness that cannot be mistaken It is alo piain tbat she is a woman of more than ordinary intelligence To day finds her a somewhat different looking woman from whit she was when the trial began Then sne was serene of countenance and cheerful pf manner Since then however there have crept into her face 1 nes that show the intense mentil strain that the mother has ui dergone it is ilaii that to her tr ai has io far been to much excruciating torture As a matter of fact to judge lrom appearances onli she teen the one thai has fe mot severely the te rible attack of the prosecution ou the chancter of her bov Tj all appearances Har is has beenles disturbed taan ms mother by the evidenc that has been given against him She it was who when the cruel cuts came winced under ihem as if they had been the trokes of a knoat like lash in the hands of a pewerful tn At mes when thv testimony appeared most damae ng Harris coolly aJjusteu his gl eses ami regarded whatever witness happened to be the stand with what ajpeared merely a mild interest But with his mother it was different Tlie hard things tnat were said would flush or blanch heMace It would become drawn and in it lines would apt ear that denoted the deep suffering she was undergoing Through the gold rimmed spectacles which she wears it could be seen that in her brown ejes was a looK of horror deh ance and supplication intermingled And it stayed there too though she was Srobably unaware of it nutii her son had lOked at her id a reassuring way and moved his head from side to side to indi Cftte that there was no truth 1b what had been said Then and not until then would the expression leave her face and when it did she seemed a diffsrent being fco matter how damaging the evidence appeared alter that she womd only smile serenelv at her boy and keep continually moving her head to indicate that what was saiu was not true No more notable case ot a mothers blind devotion to her child has teen noted in the criminal history of the Court of General Sessions Mrs Harri has lectured with success on How to Bring up Children She delivered a lecture on tbat subject It the Metropolitan Opera house and aroused unbounded enthusiasm That was about tlnee yeirs ago and an au dience of 3000 persons listened to what she had to sav on the subject She was oquent and her lecture so abounded in advice that was good and wholesome and altogether practical that 11 ss 1 ranees illard the temperance advocate feit called upon to address the tame meeting long enough sav of Mrs Harris mat there wis uo better authority on the subject btcauseshe Har had a lovely family of her uwn Willard pointea to the Har is fam as vin i trend ce of tue truth of her arks and of their practical appl tich now that I said nohard or reproachful things to wound her braised and almost broken Heart but tnat was youthful folly and not sin that bad caused is ail so much suffering Bhe read me a letter she bad written before I had entered the room In it the said Carl I bet of yon write and tell mamma tha truth If she finds this out and telegraphs papa it will cose ns all untold misery Dov for my sake I Oh Carl yon bare killed my child but not my love for it And Carl withstood this plea That letter the appeal ot the girl wife for recognition as a wife bad no effect on Harris But quite as sad as the story of the life or Helen Potts is that of Tillie Benson also a victim of the wiles of the modern Don Juan Tillie is the daughter of a farmer and she was at one time a servant in the Harris household Her statement of her experience with Carl Harris is in the possession of the District Attorney It shows that the girl was an unwilling victim and a mother She was only 15 years old wben she went to live with the Harris family hen the girl could no longer remain in the Harris household her betraver sent her to a maternity hospital without money After her child was born the girl had to go with it into the streets of rew lorx bhe wandered about until 6 clock in the morning when she was so worn and tired that she could go no farther and went to the Thirtieth street police station where in a lodging room she hugged her babe to her breast to keep it warm She also tells how some days later a good he rted Irish woman gave her board and lodging and Low Harris called on her and tried to get the child and place it where it should never again be seen by its parents finally her story goes on he made arrangements for me to go to the urserv and Child Hospital at 571 Lexington avenue He told the matron Mrs Baker that 1 was a servant in whom his mother was very much interested Later he got me a place in the family of Mr Dyer at Orient I and while I was there I received a letter from Baker telling me that my baby hud died Such is the sad story of Tillie Benson A Blavatskys Post Mortem Performance She Appears Astrally

John A Morns of the Louis ana Lottery Com pany to day issued a lengthy address to the peopie of Louisiana He ssys that in 1833 he was approached by a number ol prominent Democrats of Louisiana who urged upon him the propriety of sub mi tling to the Legislature a proposition or constitutional amendment which would grant bim and his associates a lottery privilege for twenty fire years in consideration of a license sufficiently high to be of material assist ance to the State He was assa ed that the proposition would meet with little if any opposition and these sugees ions prompted him to make an announce merit to the effect that he would give half a million dollars per annum ss a license After the Mississippi floods at he solicitation of a number of gentlemen he increased the amonnt to one 11 on and a quarter and this was sub initted to the people Then began a crasade inside and out side the State which resulted in the enactment by Congress of the anti lottery postal law Morris says that he was in formed by a number of able attorneys that the law was a violation of the rights ot the State and the freedom of the press and such in their opinion won Id be the dec sion of the Supreme Court of the Lmted States Realizing now that they bad been in correct in their opinion of public senti ment and not desiring to see the people of Louisiana involved in strife over the question Morns declares that they would not accept or qualify under the amend ment eyen were it to be adopted by the people in AprU next As the Supreme court of the United States ha decided the anti lottery postal law constitutional it is his purpose to respect that law sod abstain from violat mg it in any manner Convinced thatibe granting of another lottery charter wou tbe cause ot continued

in Essex England He was educated at the London Hospital Medical College and subsequently at Paris and Vienna Wben considerably under SO he founded a hospital for diseases of tbe throat in Gordon squarr London and in that same year 1863 he obtained the Jacksonian prize from the Royal Col lege of Surgeons for a remarkable treatise which raised much controversy on diseases of the larynx Shortly afterward he was elected ass stent iirJfortUifactsnWt physician to the London Hospital becoming in due course full physician and was honored with the appointment ot public lecturer on diseases of tbe throat Not content with all tbe accumulation of work these posts entail be became a corresponding member of the Imperial Royal Society of Physicians in Vienna and of tbe Medio1 Society of Prague and an honorary fellow of the American Laryngoticat Association His treatise in two volumes on diseases of the throat and lungs was translated into many languages and is a standard work among physicians The Hygiene of the Vocal Organs was one of the moit popular of his many books yet in some respects a more notable effort from bis pen was an article broaeht out in the Fortnightly Review entitled Specialism in Medicine wherein his pfea was based on numerous grounds more particularly on the one tbat specialists in other professions are not attacked for devoting themselves entirely to anv favorite branch to the exclusion of others The specialist he wrote practicing at the Parliamentary bar or in the probate di vorce admirality or ecclesiastical courts and thoje confining themselves to bankruptcy or to Ditents all hold an eanallv good proressmaI position NOrire paint ers aepisea wno give tnemseives over entirely to one line of work or engineers or literary men Specialism he still affirms is simply a recognition of the natural limitation of the powers of the human mind and a deliberate concentration of mans best powers on a single ob ject Ur Mackenzie who was Knighted in 1837 was caled in to attend the German Emperor Frederick and was given a suit of apartments in tbe Cbarlottenburg Palace and also at Potsdam To Bismarck Dr Morrell gave credit for tbe fact that the Emperor did not undergo tbe operation ol the removal of the larynx whicn at one time was so urgently recommended bv tbe German medical author ties who admitted that altboneh the operation had on a lew occasions been followed with happy results yet it bad frequently prove 1 rapidlv fatal Do you not think then inquired the Chancellor that it would be well before conducting so dangerous an operation that yet another famous specialist should be consulted The jerman doctors themselves decided on calling in Sir Morell and the Queen of England and tbe Empress ot Germany so often blamed for insisting as was imagined on his services being employed had in reality nothing whatever to do with the matter It was indeed suggested that tbe then Crown Princess should telegraph to the Queen to ask her to arrange to send the great man Berlin without further delay But the Queen had lost me royal keys and the cipner was therefore unobtainihle Great was the perturbation at Windsor Caste a search being made everywhere to no effect and at last a telegram begging tor further news en Claire was dispatched and thus the message became generally known Dr Mackenzie aa soon as he examined the throat was of otiinion tbat removal ot the larynx would more likely be a killing than a curative operation and on con fiding his opinion with that of Professor virchowto iJismarcK tlie Chancellor implored his sovereign not to dream of risking ms life That Mackenzie was justified in his firm conviction of the danger of such an operation was most amply proved lor tbe Emperor who almost sank tinder the comparatively mild operation of tracheotomy could never have survived the more severe shock to bis system Although bitterly attacked by the German court party the English physician maintained to tbe last the friendship of his imperial patient sir aioreu repeat edly refused the offers of tbe Empress for a detective to accompany him on bis walks abroad at times even when it seemed his life was In absolute danger from the fury of his antagonists The Englishman when quite a young fellow had managed to pick up a good deal of German in Vienna and while attending to his royal patient bad been wont
