Millionaire in Dilapidated House Guards Wealth
A wealthy New Yorker, owner of brick tenements, lives in a shabby half a mile below Central Park. In a dilapidated wooden house, he endures squalor while plotting via chalk on a bedpost, surrounded by odds and ends from tenants who could not pay rent. A stenographer gathers his testimony amid protests of “robbery,” as visitors glimpse a man who hoards wealth and lives as a recluse, his only pleasure the memory of power over others.

Effects of Ashes and Lime on Plants and Soils
The article explains how ashes and lime affect iron rust in damp ashes and soil. It notes lime reduces rust in metals and harms certain plant parts, while ash applications can foster vigorous, sometimes diseased growth, disintegrate moldy manure, and release nutrients from compost.

Lime exhausts strong soils and aids poor ones by compacting and retaining porosity. It improves health and vigor in apple trees and enhances fruit quality. Special value on apple trees and strawberry plants, with benefits on heavy soils for larger plant feeding among native plums and currant bushes. Horticulturist.
