Rome in Newark.

The Rev. DR.. Bertrand M. Tipple,
pastor of the American Methodist
Church in Rome italy, who was a
leading figure in the incident wherein
Colonel Roosevelt. the Vatican and the
Methodist church in Rome were chiefly
interested, was seen this morning by
an EVENING STAR reporter at the
this city. where DIR. Tipple is visiting
his wifes mother Mrs. Downs.
DIR. Tipple refused to discuss the
Roosevelt happening. He spoke of his
own work in Rome only in a general
way, and said that his present visit
to this country was for the dual pur-
pose of visiting his own and his wifes
families and of occupying the pulpits
at various churches in New Jersey
New York and Pennsylvania.
"I am not here to discuss the
methods and character of our Method
ist mission in Rome" said DIR. Tpple
THAT question Is now in the hands
of the board of bishops of the entire
Methodist Episcopal Church. While I
am here I shall speak Of the general
religious situation throughout Italy
and what 1 say will be from the stand
point of the American Methodist Epis-
copal Church pulpit In Rome"
DR.. Tipple further stated that con-
ference of European Methodists would
be held at Rome in September of next
year.
"Is the conference called for any
special reason?" asked the reporter.
you must draw your own conclu-
sions regarding that" replied DR..
Tipple. "I am not at liberty to say
anything regarding the purpose of the
conference. If, however, you feel that
there is any special reason why a con-
ference should be held you may con-
clude that its purpose will be specific" >"

TWO AVIATORS LOST
in HEMPSTEAD Fog

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-"Joe" Sey-
mour, in his Curtiss biplane, and TOD
Schriver, in the Howard Dietz biplane,
had very unusual experience early to-
day when both became lost In a dense
fog that hung over the Hampstead
plains, obscuring all objects. Both men
had difficulty in getting their bearings
and kept well up in the air to prevent
collisions with trees and fences.
Each aeronaut was warned of the
others approach by the throbbing of
the, motor and thus avoided collisions
by flying over or below each other as
they approached. Seymour made four
long cross-country flights and Schriver
made three.

Great Ore Mines

After producing ore continuously for

Cornwall iron ore mines, situate at the
foot of the South mountains, six miles
south of Lebanon, Pa, constitute one
of the most frequently visited. inter-
esting and instructive spots in Leb-

The history of the mines-compris-
ing three mountains of magnetic iron
ore-dates back to Penn, whose three
sons included 1t in a sale of a tract
of 10000 acres early in the eighteenth
century. says the New York Herald
Peter Grubb acquired ownership in
1872, paying s675 for 800 acres. and
ever afterward the mines figured
largely in the iron industry of the
country Later Robert Coleman Sc

Lackawanna iron and steel company

increased it's holdings by purchase
from other heirs.

Spanish Wine Crop Short

Consul Robert Frazer Jr. of Valencia
Spanish vineyard output:
The total exports of Spanish wines
last year are officially valued at about
1910. 900, of which ordinary red wines
represent s4.31S.0 900; Malagas 1920
500; sherries. s2,220,5OO, and white
wines. $1,145,000. The changes in
tastes of consumers of Spanish wines
is evidenced by the continual decline
In exports of sherries, which was
$1,003.000 less than in 1908, while NAL
agas continue to gain in favor and i'm
proved $1,02S.000. White wines also
increased $4,000. but ordinary red
wines have receded $4,000.
Last seasons wine crop was the
shortest during the last 20 years
being estimated at slightly under 1885,
100000 gallons. the average of recent
Vintages being computed at 634, ,008 900
gallons. Hence, though the export de-
mand continues dull, prices of ordinary
wines have advanced sharply since the
beginning of 1910 from IL to 30 pese-
tas per hectoliter ($1.9S to $500. and
stocks are said to be nearly exhausted.
The exceptional. shortage of wine is
attributed to neglect of cultivation
consequent on long continuance of un-
remunerative prices. reduced area of
vine plantations and destruction of
plants by phylloxera and a variety of
cryptoga mic pests. Home consump-
tfon of wine has also been stimulated
by the recent suppression of the heavy
municipal tax on wine entering Span
ish cities and which amounted in most
| cases to over $50 per cent ad valorem.
Exports of fresh grapes amounted to
s2.012.200. an Improvement over the
previous year of 1888, ,00o while raisins
reached s3,714,300, an increase of
1891 goo.
