IS REfUSED. Cuban Rebels Reject Of fer o? Armistice. GUERRAGETSBUSY Insurgent Leader in Pinar Del Rio Replies to Peace Talk by New Acts or Hostility. Havana, Cuba. —All peace over lures blocked by the refusal ol Pino Guerra, the insurgent leader in Pinar Del Rio province, to enter into any arrangement for an armistice. Guerra's answer to the government's announcement of readiness to grant a ten days' armistice is the blowing up of two bridges on the Western rail road, the cutting of railway communi cation beyond Pinar Del Rio City and an attack on San Juan de Martinez. It is believed here that San Juan de Martinez is in the hands of the insur gents and that the garrison, consist ing of 100 government recruits and a -small force of mounted rural guards, has been defeated or captured. The fact that other leaders of the insurrection are willing to agree to an armistice can have little effect so long as Guerra is determined to prosecute the war, and there is slight .doubt in any quarter that Guerra can control the situation in his region. His force is reported by all those whe have visited him recently as ranging from 3,000 to 4,000 men, all of them well mounted and some of them well imd others indifferently armed. The government force opposed tc him, which is under command of Col Avalos, comprises about 1,000 men. It was reinforced last evening by Lieut Col. Clews with 150 men and three machine guns from Havana. Col Avalos' force, with the exception oi small detachments left at San Juan de Martinez and San Luis, is at Pinar Del Rio City, but is without means of transportation togo to the relief oi San Juan do Martinez. Not more than 400 of them are mounted. Guerra refuses to accept an armis tice except on condition that the last presidential and congressional elec tions shall be annulled. That the gov eminent should consent to this is out of the question and so every prospect points to the continuance of the war NIPPLE WAS A EORGER. New Rascalities of the President of the Real Estate Co. Discovered. Philadelphia, Pa. Forgeries for more than $250,000 by Frank K. Hippie, the suicide president of the defunct Real Estate Trust Co., have been discovered by Receiver Earle. The latter made this statement late last night, adding that he had no idea where Hippie's villainy' would end. Hippie, in order to meet his immense overdrafts, used the names of some of the most prominent business men of this city on notes which in some cases amounted to $150,000, It developed Friday that the last state examination of the trust com- Sian.v was made by Banking Commis sioner Reeder in 1902. Robert Mc- Afee, who was state banking commis sioner from April. 1903, to July, 1905, made no examination and Commis sioner Berkey, who succeeded Mr. McAfee, also failed to examine the institution. That some one secured $2,000,000 for negotiating the loans made to .Adolph Segal by President Hippie, is Relieved by those investigating the company's affairs. Segal's repeated assertions that he did not borrow more than $3,000,00 from the trus company have caused the investiga tors to exert every effort to discover all of the details connected wit these loans, and if it is found that others benefited they will be made to return the money. REVIEW Of TRADE. "Scarcity of Labor Retards Many Un dertakings Just at Present. New York.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s "Weekly Review of Trade says: Money market irregularity had no ill effect on legitimate business, and prices of securities rallied when gold imports were arranged. Scarcity of labor is a much more important trade influence, restricting production of factories and causing delays in har vesting of crops, while structural work is also retarded. Fall jobbing trade is making progress. Leading centers are crowded by interior buy ers, who place liberal orders, especi ally for wearing apparel. Quotations are well maintained and some im provement is noted in collections. Wholesome reports from the iron and steel industry and expectation of large crops have dpveloped a tone of confidence in commercial world that makes the outlook bright and en courages nev." undertakings.

Bank President Hippie Made a Con fession Before He Suicided—Evi dence that Other Officials Helped Him to Wreck the Real Es tate Trust Co. Philadelphia, Pa. —To determine the responsibility of the direct ors of the wrecked Roal Estate Trust Co., State Banking Commissioner Berkey came here Thursday and ap pointed as special hank examiners Charles M. Vollum and Meyer Gold smith, expert accountants, who with the consent of Receiver Earle will to day begin a thorough examination of the defunct concern. Commissioner Berkey, in an inter view, stated that the examination should not occupy more than four or five days. The law gives the exam iners the right to interrogate under oath any director or employe of the trust company or of any other com pany holding assets of the defunct concern. During the past few years. Mr. Berkey declared, practically every director of the Real Estate Trust Co. had certified to the correctness of the reports filed by the company with the state banking department. These reports, he said, appear to have been false. If his examination sustains the falsity of the reports, Mr. Berkey de clared, he would proceed against the directors and make an issue of their responsibility, which has never been decided by the courts of this state. Receiver Earle last night, after a conference with the directors of the trust company, said that he hopes soon to reopen the doors of the bank asd that all depositors will be pro tected. Mr. Earle says the directors hare responded to his solicitations to he!p reorganize the company, but he did not state what amount of money they have guaranteed. The preliminary hearing of Adolph Segal, the promoter; William F. North, treasurer, and Marshall S. Collingwood, assistant treasurer of the Real Estate Trust Co., took place Thursday and the three were held in heavy bail for trial. The evidence presented through witnesses by District Attorney Bell at the hearing of Segal. North and Col lingwood yesterday disclosed the methods by which Segal and Hippie wrecked the trust company. The damaging testimony was that both* Hippie and Segal had repeatedly overdrawn their accounts with the knowledge of the treasurer and assist ant treasurer. These overdrafts were carried as cash accounts. On the day Hippie died there was an overdraft of $64,000 against the president which was converted by Collingwood into a loan, showing Hippie's account to be apparently straight. These over drafts of Hippie and Segal at times amounted to more than SBOO,OOO. There was on deposit in the bank approximately $7,000,000 and the loans made to Segal amounted to $5,- 309,200. Many of the securities which have since been found to be insuffi cient were bonds and stocks in the Segal enterprises and were approved personally by Hippie. President Hippie's plaintive cry from his grave, "Segal got all," has aroused the depositors to a high pitch of indignation. Lawyers representing hundreds of them are taking an active part in the investigation of the af fairs of the trust company and facts are coming to light almost hourly re vealing new forms of duplicity on the part of the men entrusted with the de positors' money, and the trust funds c*f largo and small estates. ARMY MEN WON PRIZES. Regulars Took High Honors in the National Team Match at- Sea Girt. Sea Girt, N. J.—The national team match, which was started on Tuesday and finished late Thurs day, was won by the team represent ing the infantry of the United States army. The first prize consists of the national trophy, provided by congress. S3OO in cash and medals for the team members. Second prize, the Hilton trophy, S2OO and medals for the team mem bers, was won by the team of the United States cavalry; third prize, the Bronze Soldier of Marathon, $l3O and medals for the team members, by Massachusetts; fourth prize, SIOO and medals for the te#m members, by New York; fifth prize, $75 and medqls for the team members, by the United States navy, and sixth prize, SSO and medals for the team members, by the United States marine corps. The match was won last year by New York, score 4,528. All four of the service teams finish ed among the prize winners and great was the rejoicing among the regulars. The last two shots of the match were fired by Lieut. Diilon and Lieut. Will iams, of the cavalry team. Their work having landed the team in sec ond place, they were raised on the shoulders of their comrades and amid shouts, carried to their tents. New York, which had won the trophy every year since it was placed in competition, dropped to fourth place Thursday. The three final stages won the match for the army in fantry men. The rapid fire score ad vanced the infantrymen from sixth to third place, their splendid skirmish run put them in the lead and they maintained that position by excellent work at the long range, 1,000 yards.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1906. HORTICULTURE '/ U A. » THE SURPLUS FRUIT. Good Way to Utilize It Is to Evapof^ ate It. An easy method within the reach of all fruit growers is to evaporate or dry the No. 2 fruit as well as the culls. There are various styles and sizes of evaporators, ranging from those which , will handle a bushel a day and set on top of the kitchen range, to the com mercial plants which will handle 100 bushels or more in 24 hours. Practi cally all fruits can be evaporated to jngigL. iiieNNn A 100-Bushel Fruit Evaporator. advantage and with profit, but the greatest demand is for apples. A small evaporator can be used to advantage and profit on every farm, even if it is only to dry the supply of fruits and vegetables for fan» ! ly use. Evaporators with a capacity of six to ten bushels per day will take care of the No. 2 surplus fruit on most farms. The expense of operating is not large and there is usually a good return. Apples will usually dry out from six to eight pounds to the bush-J el, depending on the variety, state of maturity, quality of the fruit and the caro used in paring. The evaporator shown in the cut is owned by George T. Powell, a well known New York fruit grower, says the Farm and Home. It has a capac ity of 100 bushels per day and cost complete somewhat less than SI,OOO. He averages 650 pounds evaporated apples from 100 bushels of green "itock, and 200 pounds of skins and cores. There are two kilns, the ap ples being spread out upon the floor and occasionally turned. It requires two boys to run the paring machines, six women to trip, one man who looks after the fires, the sulphuring and the slicing, and another man works from noon to midnight tending the fires. It takes three tons of coal per week to run the evaporator. HARVESTING ONIONS. Care Must Be Taken to Do It Just at the Right Time. As onions approach maturity, the time of harvesting them should be carefully watched. When they are mature the stems will show'it by dry ing up and lopping over, and the onions should be harvested at this time to avoid a second growth start ing in. It has been found by those who grow them under irrigation that the crop could be very easily spoiled. This was done by there being a check in the growth of the onions just be fore maturity, and the irrigator think ing he would continue the develop ment by an extra watering. The ex tra watering resulted in starting what is known as a second growth, a new shoot being sent up from the onions and many of the onions dividing into two parts. This injures them for sell ing in the markets, and also injures their keeping qualities, says the Farm ers' Review. If the onions stop grow ing for any cause, either because they have not been supplied wtih adequate water or because the natural rain fall is not abundant, it i« better to harvest them at once, even though they are somewhat immature. The best keep ing varieties are frequently the small ones, and among the varieties the small onions keep better than the large ones. This is due to the fact that the loss in weight causes free evaproation and sprouting. Therefore they should be harvested as soon as possible after they have obtained their first growth and putin a cool place, that is, a place not dry enough and warm enough to cause evaporation of moisture to start growth. Shading Summer Head Lettuce. When the plants begin to make good growth, mulch the ground among them with strawy manure. Then place a frame over the bed to protect the plants from the hot sun. Make the frame of lath nailed to solid strips at each end, leaving an inch space between laths. Drive stakes at the corners of the bed and rest the frame on them, having it 15 to 18 inches above ground. This shades them considerably and with the help of the mulch a good crop of crisp sol id heads can be produced. Ripening Peach Wood. Much can be done to make trees endure more cold and to ripen wood and fruit buds before cold weather. Cultivate early in the season to make best growth possible, then stqp cul ture in early August. Last of Augusl cut about one-third of this year's growth off to cause the ripening of wood and fruit buds. All tall limbs should be cut off, leaving trees six to nine feet high. I use long handled fruit shears and can trim from i>o t* 160 trees a day. WORN TO A SKELETON. * A Wonderful Restoration Caused a Sensation in a Pennsylvania T own. Mrs. Charles N.

The mistaken idea of a few years ago, about Alum in Baking Powders being injurious, no longer prevails, or scarcely exists. It is a well estab lished fact by chemical analysis that Cream of Tartar being less volatile than Alum, when exposed to heat, is not entirely vaporized as is the case with Alum, but leaves a residue in the bread, which is injurious. Alum, on the contrary, is entirely evaporated while performing its function during process of baking, leaving no atom of injurious residuous substance. The words "Chemically Pure" erroneously used to designate Cream of Tartar from Alum baking powder is a mis nomer. Baking Powder made of pure Alum is as chemically pure as made from pure cream of tartar. These words mean nothing more nor less than pure chemicals, ami in no way can they imply that one baking pow der is Alum and another Cream of Tartar. Alum has been declared to be wholesome; an established fact. Ev ery large water system in the cities along the Missouri river use Alum in large quantities to purify the water before pumping it into their water aiains for consumption. Cream of Tar tar baking powder is perhaps good snough for any one; Alum baking powder is better, and very much cheaper. MORE PULQUE BEING DRUNK. Mexico City Gets Away With 800,000 Litres Every Day. The consumption of pulque in Mex ico city is rapidly increasing, and the hauling of the drink is becoming one of the p inclpal sources of rev pnue on a number of lines entering the city. On nearly every railroad entering the city a special pulque train is run into the city daily and many of the regular freight trains carry large numbers of cars containing the popu lar drink. During the month of June three railroads, the Hi 1 dago, the Mexican and the Interoceanic, carried into the city 59,861 barrels and 334 skins full of the pulque gathered within a radius of sixty miles of the city. The Na tional. the Central and the smaller lines brought in an amount probably half as great. Allowing that the population of Mexico city is 400,000 men, women and children, the quantity of pulque brought into the city dai!y is suf ficient to supply almost two liters to every individual. Do you drink your share? During the month of June 14,- 985,290 liters of pulque were brought into the city, as in one barrel there are 250 liters and in one skin 60 liters. During each day of the month an av erage of 748,263 liters was brought to the city. The amount thus reckoned is ex clusive of the pulque brought to the city in wagons and on muleback from the nearby haciendas. GOOD AND HARD.

A Mich, woman says:"l had been using coffee since I was old enough tc have a cup of my own at the table, and from it 1 have suffered agony hundreds of times in the years past "My trouble first began in the form of bilious colic, coming ou every few weeks and almost ending my life. At every attack for 8 years I suffered in this way. I usod to pray for death to relieve me from my suffering. 1 had also attacks of sick headache, and be gan to suffer from catarrh of the stom ach, and of course awful dyspepsia. "For about a year I lived on crack ers and water. Believing that coffee was the cause of all this suffering, 1 finally quit it and began to use Postum Food Coffee. It agreed with my stomach, my troubles have left me and I am fast gaining my health under its use. "No wonder I condemn coffee and tea. No one could be in a much more critical condition than I was from the use of coffee. Some doctors pro nounced it cancer, others ulceration, but none gave me any relief. But since I stopped coffee and began Pos tum I am getting well so fast I can heartily recommend it for all who suffer as 1 did." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

A well dressed young m:n ap-j proached (he desk in a telegraph branch office and wrote a message. Laying the pen down, he handed the] message to the girl, according to "Modern Society," and said. "You can ru3h this for me, can't you?" "Yes, indeed," replied the girl. "It's very important," he went "I must have it rushed!" "It shall go right through." "All right," he said, turning away. "Be sure and rush it now." When he was gone the girl showed the message to another operator standing near.' "Look what is to be rushed," she said.
