The Apple Crop at Kearneysville.

The shipping of apples is an impor-
tant feature of business at Kearneys-
vile Just now, and it is believed that
fully 5000 barrels will be shipped
from that point this fall. The apples
are purchased by city dealers, who pay
from $l.1O to $l.40 a barrel. All
that the grower has to do pick the ap-
pies and put them in piles-the buyer
furnishes barrels, packs the fruit and
bears the expense and takes all the re-
sponsibility of getting it to market.
The Kearneysville neighborhood seems
to be particularly well adapted to ap-
pie growing, and the fruit is very de-
sirable. Several of the farmers will
set out large orchards this fall in that
vicinity. ]. P. Kearfott will set out
% acres, Jacob S. Osbourn II acres,
George L. Hoffman 20 acres, ThOs. W..

A Lengthy Death Roll.

Rev. Charles o. Cook died yester'
day morning at the home OF his broth
in-law, Mr.. Henry S. Baker, in shep,
herdstown, aged "a years. Mr.. Cook
had been in failing health for the past
year and half. A few months age
he received stroke Of paralysis, which
left him in an enfeebled condition, and
although he rallied some from the
shock, he felt that he was unable to
continue his pastoral work, and in
September rendered his resignation as
pastor of Garrett Park Church in Bal
timore. The congregation, who had
become strongly attached to him, de-
clined to accept, but gave him a va
cation. He then went to Washington
to visit his son Raymond, and there he
received another attack about two
weeks ago that foreshadowed the end.
He was brought to Shepherdstown,
where he received every attention that
loving hands could administer, but he
continued to fail, until yesterday morn
ing about five o'clock he peacefully
passed away.
Mr.. Cook was native of Baltimore.
He entered the ministry early in life,
and for more than thirty years was an
honored and consistent member of the
Baltimore Conference of the Method
list Episcopal Church. His first charge
was Hancock, Nd, and he afterward
served congregations at Berkeley
Springs, Spencerville and Flintstone;
he was pastor of the church in Shep-
herdstown from 1881 to 1884 he
served FIVE churches in or near Wash
ington City-North Capitol Street,
Fletcher, Anacosta, Forestville and
Brookland. His last charge was Gar
rett Park Church, Baltimore. He is
survived by three sons, Raymond and
Maurice, of Washington, and Vernon,
of Arizona he also has a brother,
Gilbert G. Cook, of Baltimore, and
three sisters, Mrs. Van Alstyne, Of
Troy, N. Y, and Mrs. Blessing and
Mrs. Baker, Of Shepherdstown. His
wife died about six years ago. The
funeral will be held Friday morning
at II o'clock in the NJ. E. Church in
Shepherdstown, interment in Elm
wood Cemetery.
Mr.. Cook had many friends in Shep-
herdstown, where he formerly lived.
He was a faithful pastor and an ex-
emplary Christian whose life was in
conformity with the principles of the
religion he professed and taught. Of
him it may be said that a good man
in Israel has fallen, but he has gone
to receive the reward of life spent
in the service of his Master. We ex-
tend our sympathy to his sorrowing
family.

Good Work by the White Oaks.

The Ell Paso & Northeastern accom-
plished quite q feat in their first at
tempt at handling cattle which was
mentioned Saturday last.
Owing to some miscalculatiOns the
cattle we're late in getting into their
hands but they held the regular train
until 3:15 and then made the sum SO
miles in 81 hours including two steps,
Mr.. Ellis. the owner of the cattle, said
he never witnessed q better run with q
stock train, not one was down and ev-
cry one was in good shape when
AlamOgordo was reached.
Harry Alexander. the commercial
general agent, made the trip to see
that every point was properly looked
sitter.
The cattle were from the Sierra
Madre and Mr.. Ellis drove them from
AlamogOrdo to his ranch some fifty
miles farther on. This trial trip has
convinced Mr.. Ellis that shipping over
the Ell PasO and Northeastern beats
driving several hund1 ed per cent.

few guest rooms. On the second floor
there are thirty guest rooms each one
with one or more windows opening in
to the open air, which with transoms
over the doors give perfect ventilation.
In front is veranda running the full
length of the building where one can
get the morning sun in winter while in
summer he can secure q fine breeze
and shade himself from the hot rays of
the western sun in the afternoon.
The sanitary arrangements are COM
plete, consisting OF the latest plumbing
on both flUors. There being no sewer
system in Juarez Mr.. Mallen sunk q
large cesspool into which the waste
from the building is drained. The
guest rooms are neatly and comfort
ably furnished. The bath rooms have
takes on an air of neatness.
Mr.. Mallen has a small water works
plant which finishes a fine system for
the hotel, also for his other bulldogs
near it. At depth of seventy feet he
struck fine flow of water VIII ;ch rises
in q six inch pipe to within thirty feet
of the surface. Down within a few fee.
of the water he has rlaced steam
pump which forces the water up to
tanks above the roof of the bui ding.
This of course gives fall enough to
through the building. From this sup
ply Mr.. Malleu keeps a street sprink-
Ter upon the streets, sprinkling in
front of his own property and that of
others who will contribute in small
way toward the expenses of same.
The hotel Is named for the presid ent
of the Mexican republic. Gen. Porfirio
Diaz, of whom Mr.. Mallen ia great
admirer and friend. 1t is near the
custom house and some Of the most
prominent business establishments.
The street cars pass the door while
telephone and postal conveniences are
at hand.
The citizens of Juarez may we'll feel
proud of what Mr.. Mallen has done for
them in this matter. The writer will
venture to say that there Is not a more
modern little hotel in the republic of
Mexico than the "Gran Hotel Porfirio
Diaz," and the fact that some of
the people of Ell Paso are living there
proves that it is conducted in good
style. The charges are reasonable
and being.in Mexican money makes 1t
very cheap to those who count upon
paying their expenses In United States
money.

Slight Danger In Travelling.

According to Duane DOsy, Of the
Pullman company, whose reporY on
railroads has just been published by
people are killed by falling out of win
dows than lose their lives in railway
coaches. He declares that twice as
many persons are killed every year in
this way, and he produces statistics
to show that he is not
talking through his hat. Mr.. Doty's
figures proved that two and q quarter
million of people are carried safely as
passengers on our railroads afor every
one that is killed. Or, according to
the theory of probabilities, one must
travel seventy five million miles, or
four hundred years. on an express train
in order to meet death on the rail-
Exchange.

A millionaire Lumber.Man.

This mornings Santa Fee train
brought to this city in a beautifully
equipped special car E. E. Ayres, the
millionaire lumber man of Chicago.
AS he stepped from his private car TO
the platform he glanced about him but
no evidence of surprise was
visible on his cOuntenance.
He walked to the end of the plat
from and even from that obscure point
he could tell that he was facing q pros
porous city covering ground which was
not considered good prairie land when
he last looked upon it. He was pri-
vate soldier in this portion of the
country in the early sixties
country lying between here and the
Pacific coast while in the service of
the government. He was stationed in
Ell Paso at time when the river
claimed most of the land now occupied
by the city. He was in Mexico before
the Mexican Central road was con-
structed. He made his headquarters
at Mesilla Park, N. M. for some time,
Southern California.
In conversation this morning he said
that he was not q tenderfOOt by any
means; that he knew this portion of the
country we'll. He said it was his in
tention to take in the principal points
in Mexico before returning to Chica-
90. He has retired from the trials of
labor and will spend the remainder of
his days in comfort. He was greatly
impressed with Ell Paso and the sur
rounding country and says that there
is everything here to make great
city.
His special car was attached to the
regular southbound Mexican Central
train this afternoon and he departed
with many we'll wishes of friends who
were at the depot to see him off.

AOAN6EROUS PRACTICE.
An Engine Crew Should Not Be Al
lowed TO Go Over The Road
Without A Conductor.

"There are few railroads in this
country" said conductor yesteday
'teoonomizing in q very dangerous
way. When an engine crew is order to
run light to q division, these roads al
low the engineer to have charge of the
train and no one on the engine except
himself and the fireman. I consid er
this dangerous piece of business
as the fireman's time is employed more
than half the time shoveling coal into
the fire box and then there Is only the
one man left to look out for the engine.
meeting point the fireman must leave
awhile. All the while he is switch
ing, however, his mind is on
his work in the engine, and what is
more natural than for him to make g
mistake under such circumstances. I
believe the company forcing q man to
do double duty of this kind should be
held directly responsible for any and
all mistakes he should make filing the
double duty assigned him. Take for
example the Mexican Central which
taps the southern country from this
point. When q light engine
is ordered out on that road
conductor is called to &C.
company it ,and he stations himself on
the firemAn's side of the engine and
there he remains and watches with as
much care 10 avoid all possible &C.
cidents as if he had a string of cars in
charge. This practice, in my estima-
ton, saves q great many accidents and
should be adopted by all roads"
