Santa Fe Fruit in California.

The fact that Santa Fc fruit takes the
cake, even in that land of fruit, Cali
fornia, was instanced today in little
story related at the fair by w. B. Glid-
den. The latter said that last winter
while in Los Angeles, he noticed case
OF fruit on the stand of prominent fruit
dealer marked Santa Fe fruit So he
made haste to buy and try some. How
ever, to his disgust, he discovered that
the fruit was not from this country. for
he is one of the last men who could be
fooled on that proposition. Mr.. Gldden
took the dealer to task, and the man
finally owned up on learning that the
purchaser was from New Mexico and
knew all about it, that the fruit came
from the northern part of the state of
California, and never saw any part of
New Mexico. But the dealer said on the
quiet that Santa Fe fruit had such fine
flavor about it that people would buy it
in preference to all other fruit. So he
made money by selecting the best fruit
he had and labelling it as the Santa Fc
article.
Mr. Glidden says that the southern
California fruit is tastelcss compared
with the fruit to be grown in this part
of the country.

Twelve Hundred National Delegates Pres

Cincinnati, Sept. s.-Tke business ses-

day after three days of preliminary
were, however interrupted by the pa
rade of civic and industrial organza-
tions this afternoon. This was followed
by high carnival all over the city as
WE'LL There were about 200 national
delegates present when the encamp-
ment proper was called to order. The
commander-in-c chief, in his annual ad-
dress, opposed the proposition to admit
soldiers of the Spanish war to member
ship in the q. A. II.

While the annual reports were being
read, especially that of General Gobins,
there was considerable cheering at the
mention of President McKinley's name.
but when the name of Secretary Alger
was mentioned in connection with the
recent war, there was an uproarous de-
monstration in his favor.
Resolutions were offered especially in
dorsing the administration of General
Alger IN the War department. The tenn
per of the encampmcnt, as shown today,
indicates the resolution will indorsc the
management of the recent war.

RETRENCHMENT DESIRED.
Spanish Oortes Will Be Petitionel to Gut
Down Expenses Downfall Of Min
istrY Expected.

Madrid, Sept. s.-The Spanish cabinet
this morning decided to take the most
stringent measures to prevent the
publication of the proceedings of the
cortes and to provide for a censorship
of tclegraphic dispatches. The society
for commercial union is sending a
petition to the cortcs, demanding the
closing of all military schools, the cur
tailment of retiring pensions, that all
officers returning from Cuba be placed
in the reserve, and that an addition
budget OF 1000, 900 pesetas annually be
provided for the care of sick and wound
ed soldiers returning from the colonies.
The newspapers assert that the gov
ernment is surprised and chagrined at
the attitude of the conservatives in the
chamber, which indicates that the gov
ernment is isolated on questions of such
magnitude as the conclusion of the
peace treaty. The Spanish papers ex-
press the opinion that this foreshadows
the downfall of the ministry.

expectation that the house would be

would perish himself as sacrifice to
the cause.
This duty fell to Alexander Kolanof.
He seems to have made an error. as the
explosion was mistimed. When it oc-
Cured, staff officer and aide were
driving past the house and they instead
