THE WONDERBERRY. Mr. Luther Burbank, the plant Wiz ard of California, has originated a wonderful new plant which grows any where, in any soil or climate, and bears great quantities of luscious berries all the season. Plants are grown from seed, and it takes only three months to get them in bearing, and they may be grown and fruited all summer in the garden, or in pots during the win ter. It is unquestionably the greatest Fruit Novelty ever known, and Mr. Burbank has made Mr. John Lewis Childs, of Floral Park, N. Y„ the in troducer. He says that Mr. Childs is one of the largest, best-known, fair est and most reliable Seedsman in America. Mr. Childs is advertising seed of the Wonderberry all over the world, and offering great Inducements to Agents for taking orders for it. This berry is go line and valuable, and ■o easily grown anywhere, that every body should get it at once. Jack's Faux Pas. Maud —I noticed that you had Jacli Clubberly to church with you Sun day.

SI "TO#?* CUBA AGAIN IN NATIVE HANDS GEN. GOMEZ IS INAUGURATED PRESIDENT OF THE RE STORED REPUBLIC. AMERICAN RULE HAS CEASED Gov. Magoon and Other American Of ficials Who Controlled Affairs Since the Latter Part of 1906 Leave the Island. Havana, Cuba. Maj. Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez was inaugurated presi dent of the restored Cuban republic at noon yesterday and within an hour after he had taken the oath of office, administered by the chief justice of the supreme court, the American offi cials who had been in control of af fairs since the autumn of 1906, had departed from the island. The American provisional governor, Charles E. Magoon, who escorted Gen. .xomez to the palace and there turned jver to him the reins of government, sailed on the new Maine. This feat ure of the program was entirely im promptu, as it had been expected up to the last minute that the scout cruiser Birmingham would call for the departing executive. The Maine was followed out of the harbor by the battleship Mississippi and the army transport McClellan. An im mense crowd gathered along the sea walls to witness the spectacle and a perfect swarm of yachts, tugs and small boats accompanied the ships to the open sea. A Cuban gunboat also accompanied the ships some little distance to sea with a band on board playing the Cuban national anthem. Large Cuban flags flew from the foremasts of the battleships and transport and as they passed the narrow channel entrance under the towering white walls of Morro the white clad sailors of the Maine and Mississippi manned the rails from stem to stern. The scene so filled with significance was a most impressive one, but the crowds ashore looked on in characteristic silence. Earlier in the day when Gov. Ma goon and President-elect Gomez were seated side by side in the carriage en route to the palace in the wake of a galloping escort of native cavalry, there was the same silence on the part of the holiday throngs who lined the sidewalks. Hats were lifted as the carriage swept by and the salutes were returned in the same manner by the governor and Gen. Gomez. The departure of Gov. Magoon and the military officers who served as advisers to the native officials dur ing the period of intervention leaves about 3,000 troops still on the island, under command of Maj. Gen. Barry. These will be returned to the United States as fast as the transport ser vice will permit, the last of the troops leaving on April 1. SUE FOR $2,000,000 DAMAGES White Star Line Wants Pay for Ship Sunk in Collision. New York City.—Just which ship was responsible for the collision in which the White Star liner Repub lic and the Italian liner Florida fig ured and which company shall pay the damages will be decided by the court of admiralty. Both companies filed suits yester day. That of the owners of the Re public claimed damages of $2,000,000 and recited in legal form the story of the marvelous sea disaster. The blame for the collision was placed on the Florida and the claim made that the last named ship was going ahead at "an immoderate rate of speed" when the crash came. The owners of the Florida also filed a libel suit and a petition for a lim itation of liability against the Florida. The petitioners asked that their lia bility, in case the suits are decided against them, be placed at $224,000, the damage value of the Florida. Later the Florida's owners applied for and obtained an order from Judge Adams in the United States circuit court, staying all suits for damages against the steamship Florida on the ground that their petition for limita tion of liability had been filed ahead of the $2,000,000 libel suit of the Oceanic Steamship Navigation Co. In their suit proper the Florida own ers allege that the collision was due to the neglect of the Republic's offi cers. Congress.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY FEBRUARY 4, 1909. SEEMS ANXIOUS FOR TROUBLE BULGARIA ADOPTS A DEFIANT ATTITUDE TOWARD TURKEY. Dispute Over Indemnity to be Paid Turkey by Bulgaria May Lead to War. Sofia. —The Bulgarian government last night delivered a note to representatives of the powers com plaining of the irreconcilable and un compromising attitude of Turkey and declaring that the Porte must be re sponsible for the consequences. The note does not solicit the inter vention of the powers, but draws their attention to the tension of the situa tion. For several days past the relations between Bulgaria and Turkey again have been exceedingly strained by reason of the fact that Bulgaria had mobilized her reserves and brought up to its war strength of 25,000 men the eighth division of her army on the Turkish frontier. The present situation is a result of the failure of Bulgaria and Turkey to reach an amicable agreement con cerning the amount of the indemnity Bulgaria shall pay to Turkey for her Independence, which she proclaimed last October, and for the seizure of a portion of the Oriental railway. Tur key is willing to accept $25,000,000 as compensation for all her losses, but Bulgaria has offered to pay only about $16,000,000. London, Jan. 30.—The British rep resentatives at Constantinople and Sofia have been instructed to warn Turkey and Bulgaria of the danger of military action on the frontier and to exhort a peaceful arrangement of their dispute. According to special dispatches re ceived here from Sofia, the Bulgarian note to the powers takes a mandatory tone toward Turkey, declaring that unless the Porte promptly recognizes Bulgaria's independence Bulgaria will consider herself freed from the en gagement she voluntarily has under taken to negotiate with the Porte on the basis of pecuniary compensation. WEEKLY - REVIEW OF TRADE Dullness Prevails in Many Lines, Notably in Iron and Steel. New York City.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Some irregularity continues in in dustrial and mercantile activity. A fundamental factor of strength is the steadily multiplying evidence that stocks are so depleted as to render a !«'<rge and general resumption of the nation's industries inevitable and measurably nearer as confidence is restored. There are numerous reports of en la. gcd industrial activity at widely scattered points throughout the west and south, and distributors of mer chandise in all lines anticipate a slow but steady return to the normal volume of transactions. Uncertainty regarding the ultimate tendency of prices of finished iron and steel restricts improvement in the general trade and the volume of new business is still disappointing, al though January is usually a dull month. Concessions in quotations are not large, but the fact that they are becoming more general has a disturb ing effect. Reports are generally con flicting, some branches of the indus try noting a slight improvement in de mand while in other divisions busi ness is smaller than during the latter part of 1908. OBTAINED $5,600 BY HOLDUP A Mobile Man and His Wife are Ac cused of a Bold Crime. Mobile, Ala. —Fleetwood Lester, a traveling salesman for the South ern Supply Co., and his wife are in jail charged with holding up Hard way Young, president of the company, at the point of a revolver at the for mer's home Friday afternoon and rob bing him of $5,600.25. It is charged that Lester telephoned to Young to come to his home to dis cuss the sale of Lester's stock in the company. When Young entered the Lester home, it is alleged, Lester forced him at the point of a revolver to write an order to his cashier di recting him to pay Mrs. Lester $5,- 600.25, the alleged amount of Lester's stock. Mrs. Lester took the order to the cashier who wrote out a check for the amount and identified her at the bank. Mrs. Lester cashed the check and then returned to her home, where Young was held practically a prisoner, and gave the money to her husband. Two hours later after his release Young swore out warrants against Mr. and Mrs. Lester, charging them with robbery and they were arrested. They declined to make any statement. Congress.

SURPRISES NAVAL OFFICERS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT NAMES A COMMISSION TO CONSIDER NAVY'S NEEDS. The Head of the Department was Not Consulted in the Matter at All. Washington, D. C. President Roosevelt is of the opinion that the organization of the navy department is not such as to bring the best re sults and yesterday he appointed a commission whose announced duty will be "to consider certain needs of the navy." The president's action was somewhat, of a surprise in view of the authorization by the senate of an inquiry into naval expenditures, the conduct of business and the need, if any, of legislation to improve the administration of the navy depart ment. Announcement of the president's action was entirely unexpected at the navy department. Secretary New berry, who had just issued an order carrying out his proposed plan, with particular reference to the navy yards, appeared to be the most sur prised of all. He declared that he was not aware that the president had taken such action, had not seen the letter of appointment addressed to the various members of the commis sion and did not know the purport of the letter addressed to him. His first information on the subject had come' to him from the press. The president has sent identical letters to each of the eight members of the commission, which is headed by Paul Morton, a former secretary of the navy, the other members be ing Justice Moody, also a former sec retary of the navy; Judge A. G. Day ton, formerly chairman of the house naval affairs committee, and Rear Ad mirals S. B. Luce, A. T. Mahan, Wil liam M. Folger, Robley D. Evans and William S. Cowles, all of whom are on the retired list. He sets out cer tain subjects for the commission to consider under two general heads, first as to the fundamental principles of an organization that will in sure an efficient preparation for war in time of peace, and, second ly, specific recommendations as to the changes in the present organiza tion that will accomplish this result. A GREAT TUNNEL IS FINISHED Tube for a Railroad Under the Hud son River Is Completed. New York City.—The simultaneous explosion of 12 dynamite charges yesterday afternoon, following the pressure of a lever by Chief Engineer Charles M. Jacobs, blew down the four feet of natural barrier far under the North river between the two sections of the third tube of the Hudson & Manhattan railroad, be tween Cortlandt street, Manhattan, and Jersey City. When the smoke cleared the little group of officials and newspaper men in one section were greeted by the cheers of work men in the other, to which way was now cleared. Mr. Jacobs mounted the boring shield and in a short speech told of the work on the tunnel, which had been notable, he said, for two world's records. The first was the driving of the shield through the silt formation and erecting 72 feet of tunnel lining ready for track in 24 hours. The second was blasting through the rock section 390 feet during 30 working days. The center lines of the two sections were within a fraction of an inch of exact meeting. The point of contact was about 4,500 feet from the Jersey shore and 1,500 feet from where the tracks enter the terminal buildings on the Manhattan side. The Hudson & Manhattan railroad officials expect to have this section of the tunnel and the terminal building completed by July 1. The finished tunnels will be 15 feet 3 inches inside diameter, 16 feet 7 inches outside and will consist of cast steel rings in nine segments and a key piece. Each segment is 24 inches long and weighs 1,100 pounds, a complete ring weighing five and one-seventh tons. The running time for trains at the opening will be three minutes be tween Jersey City and New York. Three Killed at a Crossing. Buffalo, N. Y. —Two men and a boy were killed by a switch en gine last night at an unguarded crossing of the New York Central in the town of Cheektowaga. The dead: William Berger, 34 years old; his son William, 9 years old, and Harry Ves per, 56 years old. The three were in a wagon huddled up to avoid the wind and snow and did not see the engine. Congress. Washington.—The postoffice appro priation bill, carrying $234,000,000, was passed by the house on the 27th. The senate devoted its session to con sideration of the Canadian waterways treaty. Anti-Jap Legislation Is Sidetracked. Sacramento, Cal.—All legislation against the Japanese has been tem porarily put aside by the state legis lature as a result of an agreement be tween President Roosevelt, Gov.

Pittsburg, Pa. —Pour children were cremated and their parents seri ously injured yesterday in a fire which destroyed the home of A. M. Kendall at Dunbar, Pa., east of this city. I Keystone Slate Jots Ilarrisburg.—Nine houses were burned in one day in this city. Franklin.—Judge George S. Criswell ordered the grand jury to investigate rumors regarding the manner in which the poor of the county are maintained, particularly those in the poorhouse. Following the arrest of County Commissioner H. H. Baum gardner for alleged criminal conduct at the institution the order caused a sensation. Harrisburg.—The century-old statute providing that all magistrates, such as justices of the peace and aldermen, shall file with the prothonotaries of the courts of their counties accept ances of election within 30 days after the ballots selecting them have been cast will probably be repealed this ses sion. A bill to wipe the old law off the books has been prepared and will be introduced in the legislature. This law has given much trouble in the last 20 years. Often men elected to such offices neglected to file the formal ac ceptance and when, the time came around to assume office found that they could not obtain a commission , from the governor. The result was tbat they had to make application for appointment to the vacancy caused by their own failure to comply with a for mality and could only hold for a year an office for which they had been elected for the term of six. It is held that the man must want the office or he would not run for it, and that the acceptance is an empty proceeding. Harrisburg.—Railroads chartered in Pennsylvania under the act of 1849 can charge only three cents a mile on through passenger traffic, and three aivd a half cents on local passenger business, according to a decision hand ed down by the state railroad com mission in the complaint of G. T. Matthews, of Somerset county, against the Pittsburg, Westmoreland & Som erset Railroad Co., a lumber railroad, of which Senator J. Henry Cochran is president. The company contended that it is a purely freight road, and that it loses money when it hauls pas sengers at seven cents a head. Mat thews refused to even come to the city to appear against the company. The road is 25 miles long and hauls lumber from Ligonier to Somerset and back. In looking up its charter it was discovered that the eighteenth section of the act of 1849 prohibits companies chartered under it from charging more than the above rates. Singularly enough when the law was looked up no reference could be found to the lim itation of fares except in the pamph let laws of that year. Pittsburg.—What good did Gipsy Smith do for Pittsburg? His meet ings put religion into the moral at mosphere of the city. He and his mes sage were the talk of the town. It is something extraordinary in this com mercial age to make a great industrial city pause in its wild rush for gold and pleasure and to think and talk of spir itual things. But for weeks Pittsburg has been talking and thinking serious ly of Gipsy Smith and his preaching. On the street cars, on the streets, in - OY^ m - the stores and factories and mills, in the schools, in the clubs, in the homes and everywhere people conversed about Gipsy Smith and his mission. It elevates the moral tone of a city to consider spiritual things. Such an at mosphere assists the ministers of all creeds. Gipsy Smith is the warm and sympathetic friend of preachers, and he does all in his power to assist them in their work. He appeals to the church members to rally around their pastors and help them in their difficult work. He inspires church officers and all church workers to have new life and enthusiasm in their duties. —War- ren S. Partridge, D. D. Butler.
