good to the home rooters-two on bases
and some very clever handlers OF the stick
on deck, but the visitors went 20 work
with great rest and big zero filed the

Trees and Wire Pending.

Messrs. Editors-Farmers have rab
serious objections to using live
growing trees as posts for wire fe
ing. and believe the chief, II not
only solid objection, Is that the
tree grows and finally covers the WI
and then the sap or dampness VIII
gathers around the wire causes It
rust and break at the tree. =
Now have remedy for this objec-
tion which is very simple, and I write
to suggest it for the benefit of those
who may not have thought of it, that
is to get board or plank six inches
wide, and from one and half to two
inches thick, cut its proper length for
the fence. and nail these pieces one to
each tree, and upon this plank or board
nail the wire. In this way you effect
ually protect the wire from the sap or
dampness Of the tree, and In the tree
have an everlasting post for the fence,
for If necessary the board or plank can
be replaced from time to time, as ne
cessity shall require it, and the tree
can live on and continue to gror

five Die IN FLAMES
PitifM Scenes in a Tenement
House Fire
ROASTED LIKE RATS IN HOLES
Sleeping Tenants on Five Upper
Floors of New York Italian House
Were Cut Off While the Ground
Floor Became a Roaring Furnace
Beneath Them.

New York, Special.-At least five
persons were burned to death in an
Italian tenement house fire at 22l E
Seventy-third street. The house was
six floors high and the sleeping ten
ants on the five upper floors were
made prisoners by flames, with the
ground floor roaring furnace be-
meath them. Three of those who lost
their lives were kneeling in prayer
when the fire reached them.
The police believe that the fire was
started by an incendiary. 1t began in
heap of rubbish at the bottom of an
air shaft and spread through the in
terror of a grocery store on the
ground fooG. A policeman was the
first person to see the fire, just as it
had begun to creep up the air shaft.
He ran into the building pounding on
the hall doors all the way up to the
sixth floor to waken the tenants. The
fire followed him so swiftly that when
he reached the top floor he was oblig-
ed to send the tenants there out to
the fire escapes to save them from
suffocation.
When the fire department arrived
with its ladders, nearly every one on
the fire escapes was kneeling in pray
er. Adding to the pathos Of the scene
was the action of the men, who stood
with their arms full of personal pos
sessions while their wives fought un-
aided to protect the children from be-
ING trampled by the crowd or sutfo-
Gated by smoke. Every one on the
fre escapes was saved by the lire
men.
The lessee of the house told the po-
lice that the Black Hand Society had
recently sent him letters demandms
$1,000. Although the demands did
not state what the penalty was to be
for refusing to pay the money, the
police have begun ar investigation,
on the belief that the fire was started
by the writer Of the letters.

ISLE OF Pines REBELS
Effort to Set Up Independent
Government
WASHINGTON FIGHTS SHY OF 1T
Territorial Government is Said to
Have Been Erected and Officials
Selected to Administer Its Affairs
by American Residents, Who Own
Five-Sixths of the Soil.

Washington, Special.-It has been
known for several months that Am
erlcan residents in the Isle of Pines
were becoming reStive under Cuban
control, but surprise was created at
the reported erection of a territorial
government on the island and the
selection OF important officials to ad-
minister the affairs Of that govern
ment. No advices indicating such ac-
tion have been received officially.
1t can be said that the would-be
seceders will receive no encourage
ment from the administration. Sec
retary of State Root, when he was
Secretary of War, was very clear fad
emphatic "that the Isle of Pines =
longed to Cuba as matter of right,
as matter Of Justice" furthermore,
that in procuring naval stations in
Cuba for the United States there was
general understanding that the Isle
of Pines was to be ceded to Cuba.
although its title had been in doubt.
The reported secession of the resi-
dents from Cuba control is deprecat-
ed, but action regarding it, if any
should be contemplated, would be TAX
en- only after the government had
been advised officially and fully as to
the situation.
Senator Quesada, the Cuban min
lister here, called at the State De-
partment and seemed to be consider
able agitated over the news of the
movement in the Isle Of Pines. He
had an interview on the subject with
Secretary Root, but declined to make
any statement concerning it. The Gu
ban legation has no advices concern
ing the reported secession. The con-
,tention Of the American residents of
the isle is that as they own in fee
simple five sixths of the ground and
as the remaining one-sixth is in the
hands of one or two Spanish FAM
lilies, the 1900 native residents be-
ing non-property owners, they have
a right to be heard by this govern
ment.

Raising Berkshires in South.

Question-C. W. Crandall, Groton,
Conn.,, writes: Can you advise me
where I can get information about hog
raising in South Carolina? I wish to
know If Berkshires will do we'll there,
and if I can ship them from here to
the South and have them do well. Any
information will be grea u appre-
ciated."
Answer - Berkshires are probably
more widely distributed and more fav-
orably known in South Carolina than
any other breed Of hogs. Nearly all
breeds of black hogs do we'll in the
South; whereas white hogs co not seem
to take so kindly to the climate. Berk-
shires are peculiarly we'll adapted. to
the South, as they are naturally quite
active and make good rustlers. which
is a decided advantage when one con-
siders the methods of pork raising most
in favor, and likewise most economical
for Southern farmers to follow. In
many sections Of the South there is still
much cheap land of broken nature
which supplies en- abundance of mast,
providing almost ideal conditions for
raising pork under range conditions.
Hence soiling crops may be grown in a
succession so as to provide grain pas
ture for several months Of the year.
In this way hogs can be cheaply raised
for a small conJumptior Of grain. and
the natural conditions are very favor
able to the Berkshire with his we'll
known rustling qualities. Hogs may
be shipped South at almost any time
with comparative safety, though bring
ing them in the fall during cool wealth
er is a decided advantage, as they then
have chance to become acclimated be-
fore the hot weather Of the following
summer. The greatest care should be
exercised in shipping and unloading
the hogs to avoid their infection with
cholera.-Andrew NJ. Soule.

RATf.BlILis Opposed
Representatives Of 40 Leading Coal
Mines in the Knoxville Section
Draw Up Petition Declaring Elkins
Anti-Rebate Law Suf6cient-Final
Action Delayed Until Meeting at
Louisville.

Knoxville, Tenn, Special.-A meet
ing Of coal operators of Tennessee
and Kentucky was held here at which
forty leading mines of this section
were represented. Their meetings
were secret and definite action was
DELAYED on the Esch- Townsend bill,
for which purpose the meeting was
called, until after meeting OF Louis
vile, KY, which will be held there
by the coal men of the northern end
of the district. 1t is the plan to Sc
cure a representative committee from
the two sectional meetings and send
the same to Washington to appear be-
fore the Senate committee and set
before them their objections to the
Esch- Townsend bill. A petition drawn
up recites the belief of the coal Ope-
rators that the demand for new rate
legislation is the outcome OF failure
of some of the common carriers to
impartially apply the published tariff
to all shippers, by the granting OF
rebates, concessions from tariff rates
either directly or indirectly. The pc
tition further recites that the Pres
ident is right in demanding the stop
page of all rebates, expresses the be-
lief that the Elkins law effectively
remedies the rebate question when
properly enforced, and urges the pas
sage of legislation necessary to pro-
vide the proper machinery for the
effective stoppage Of rebates of what
ever character arising from the fail
ure to observe impartially the pub
lished rates of railroads. "Any leg
islation,'' recites the petition, "that
will radically disturb the prevailing
conditions will inure to our injury
by destroying the elasticity of present
rate-making methods, and as far as
coal rates are interfered with at all,
local monopolies will be created by
law, which present methods of rate
making make impossible" The pc
tition recognizes that there are evils
to remedy, expresses the belief that
the Eseh-Townsend bill will not fur
nish relief and prays for hearing.
