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.

"SEGAL JGOT ALL.'
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.

'/ 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.

All Chemically Pure.
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.
Results of Excessive Coffee Drinking
It is remarkable what suffering
Borne persons put up with just to sat
lsfy an appetite for something.
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

"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.
The message read: "Henry still
loves his little wife and wishes she
could be with him."
