DISASTER FOLLOWS DISASTER
ANOTHER CALAMITY IN FRENCH
 MINE AT C0URRIEREs.

Party of Seventeen Who Went Into the
 Mine to Recover BOdies of Those
 Who Perished Saturday Lose Theil
 Lives in the UndertaIxing--Henri
 Rothschild Visits Scene and Gives
 $4,OOO for Relief of Sufferers.
 Paris, March 12,--An additional dis aster following to-day upon the terrible calamity that befell the workers in the coal mine at Courrieres on Saturday has cast it's shadow over the stricken town. A party said to consist of seventeen men who went into the mine for the purpose of recovering the bodies of those who perished on Saturday, lost their lives in the undertaking. They he'd decended in spite of the recognized danger of the attempt and in the face of warnings against making further ef- forts. A gang of twenty-five Westpha- Han miners, who, it is believed, were sent to Courrieres at the express desire of Emperor William, arrived there to- day with special salvage apparatus, but no further work will be permitted until the mines are cleared of gases, which, it is expected, will take forty-eight hours The engineers this afternoon dramatically closed pits 3, and il, and fixed powerful ventilator at the mouth of pit with which to force in a current of air. Later an exhaust pump will be utilized to draw out the noxious gases and vititated air, and thus, it is hoped, render it possible to enter the galleries and prosecute salvage operations.
 Henri Rothschild to-day visited the scene of the disaster and gave $4,00O towards the relief of the families of the victims.
 The chamber of deputies to-day unanimously voted $lOOOOO for the re- lief of the victims of the Courrieres disaster.
 The Miners association has voted $4O,0OO for the same purpose.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Scarcity of Labor Retards Many Un-
dertakings Just at Present.

New York.-R. G.. Dun e 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 i'm
provement is noted in collections.
Wholesome reports from the iron
and steel industry and expectation of
large crops have developed a tone of
confidence in the commercial world
that makes the outlook bright and en-
courages new undertakings.

who grow them under irrigation that
the crop could be very easily spoiled.
This was done by there being a check

ing in the markets, and also Injuries
their keeping qualities, says the Farm
ers' Review. If the onions stop grow
ing for any cause, either because they
have not been supplied with adequate
water or because the natural rain fall
is not abundant, 1t is 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
evaporation and sprouting. Therefore
they should be harvested as soon as
possible after they have obtained their
first growth and put in a cool place,
that is, place not dry enough and
warm enough to cause evaporation of
moisture to start growth.

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 family 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
ell depending on the variety, state of
maturity, quality of the fruit and the
care used in pairing.
The evaporator shown in the cut Is
owned by George 7. Powell, well.
known New York fruit grower, says
the Farm and Home. 1t has a capac.
ity of 100 bushels per day and cost
complete somewhat less than $1,000.
He averages $50 pounds evaporated
apples from 100 bushels of green
stock, and 200 pounds of skins and
cores. There are two kilns, the ap-
pies being spread out upon the floor
and occasionally turned. 1t requires
two boys to run the pairing 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.
1t takes three tons of coal per week to
run the evaporator.

Havana, Cuba.-All peace over.

Pine 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.
1t 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
1nsurrection 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 who
have visited him recently as ranging
from 5000 to 1000 men, all of them
well mounted and some of them well
and others indiffsrently armed
The government force opposed to
him, which is under command of Col
Avalos, comprises about 1000 men. II

Col. ClewS with 100 men and three
machine guns from Havana. Col
-Avalos' force, with the exception OF
small detachments left at San Juan
de Martinez and San Luis, is at Pinar
Del Rio City, but is without means of
transportation to go to the relief OF
San Juan de 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 eec.
tons 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.

All Chemically Pure.

The mistaken idea of a few years
ago, about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious, no longer prevails, or
scarcely exists. 1t 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 enormously
used to designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder is a mis-
homer. 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, and 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-
cry 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
mains for consumption. Cream of Tar
tar baking powder is perhaps good
enough for any one; Alum baking
powder is better, and very much
cheaper.

NIPPLE WAS A FORGER.
New Rascaities of the President OF
the Real Estate Co. Discovered.

Philadelphia, Pa. - Forgeries for
more than $250,000 by Frank X
Nipple, 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 Nipples villainy would end.
Nipple, 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.
1t developed Friday that the last
state examination OF the trust com
~pany was made by Banking Commits
sioner Reeder in 1902 Robert Nc
Afee, who was state banking commits.
sioner from April 1903, to July, 1905,
made no examination and Commits
.sioner Berkey, who succeeded Mr..
McAfee, also failed to examine the
institution.
That some one secured $4,000, 900
for negotiating the loans made to
Adolph Segal by President Nipple, is
believed by those investigating the
company's affairs. Segals repeated
assertions that he did not borrow
more than 100000 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.

lines brought in an amount probably
half as great
Allowing that the population Of

into the city. as in one barrel there
are $50 liters and in one skin 60 liters.
