At the time when tobacco agriculture was par
alyzed in Cuba, Bondy & Lederer of New York were in
duced to experiment with transplanted tobacco sprouts
(not seed growths, but best young Vuelta plants), in por
tions of Florida and Louisiana and Texas, where the land elevation and dis
tance from salt water was right. Sea mists turned into a heated moisture
by. a tropical sun, daily alternating this steamed hot-house-like moisture with the dead heat
which dries it up before each sunset, are the necessary atmospheric conditions. A soil made loamy with a rich decayed vegetation
developed and rotted for ages in alternating mist and heat is the necessary kind of soil. With soil exactly the same, land eleva
tion similar, and action of the sun and the sea air Just right all that was necessary was the introduction of the plant exactly
as it was introduced and multiplied In Cuba's Yuelta abajos district half a century ago. The result of growing perfect Vueita
tobacco on American soil could not fall and it has been even more than a complete success, for the new soil has yielded admittedly finer results than the old soil
sapped so long. With these growths Bondy & Lederer escaped the enormous import duties and have been able to use this class of filler for the first time ever known in

Uo guaranfoo that if you try a TOIX KEENE cigar you will find it has that samo mellow "Java Coffee taste" peculiar to the finest grades of Iz?:rtcd
cigars of the milder type. You will rccpgnizo at once, and will appreciate this marked difference in a cigar at five cents, and we believe will be likely to circslato
this Information among your friends and help induce them to try the TO LI KEEHE cigar, and themselves recognize its now effect In taste and aroma.
We know fully about these plantations of Bondy & Lederer, in Florida, Louisiana and Texas. We find good reason to know that
the very distinct and remarkable superiority of the TOM KEENE of to-day as a five cent cigar is not imaginary or chance, but is due
to two natural conditions to a tobacco growth of the Best kind In the world, properly cured, and the escape of heavy import duties.

result of a fire which broke out In the
heart of the business district shortly be
fore t o'clock this morning.
The dead fireman Is D. K. Bishop, an
auxiliary member of the Insurance patrol,
and prominent In the city's social and
financial circles.
James G. Shelley, a fellow member of
the patrol, was dug out of a mass of
wreckage terribly burned and with both
hips dislocated,, both legs broken, one arm
shuttered and severe internal injuries. lie

seriously Injured is Frank H. Wetherman,

spine and Internal Injuries.
The fire started on the top floor of the
publlo market building on Beaver street
aad spread rapidly to the Columbia hotel
and the Elks club bouse, which adjoin it,
west and east, respectively.
While the firemen were at work tbe
front wall of the market building fell am!
carried with it the first story of the Colum

spreading tarpaulins on tbe upper floor and
were caugbt under the mass of wreckage.

It communicated to the Union National
Republican club house and the building
occupied by the Evening Times-Union.

RUSSIAN LAW - ON . TRUSTS
Clrealar Which Has Caeted go Mack
Talk Throesboat Europe Re
ceived at Wasalagrton.
I
WASHINGTON. July J5. Through the
United States charge of embassy at St.
Petersburg, Mr. . Riddle, the State depart
ment has Just received copy of the Rus
sian law touching upon trusts, which has
excited so much comment In Europe. This
note, which takes the form of a circular,
was Identical and waC handed in St. Pe
tersburg to . the representative of all of
the powers that participated in the Brus
sels sugar conference, and. In addition, to
Mr. Riddle for transmission to his govern
ment at Washington.
Juat why this was done In view of the
fact that the United States government was
not represented at the Brussels conference
can only be conjectured, and it Is supposed
that it was supplied as a matter of Infor
mation and as a cour'esy. Certain it Is
that In the present view the United 8tates
executive cannot participate In such a con
ference as It deecrlbed, because of consti
tutional limitations that cannot be escaped,
even If there were -no other objections.
From a perusal of toe note, which Is In
official print, It appears that its references
to trust, which are rather Incidental and
alternative in character, have attracted the
principal share of public attention, al
though tho whole note appears to be
framed as an argument In support of tbe
Russian system of regulating sugar pro
duction and export. '
The reference to an International trust
conference Is actually the question pre
sented In tbe shaps of an alternative pro
posal, or rather suggestion, only in case
the . soundness of the Russian contention
in euppert of its present system Is suc
cessfully challenged.
Tbe State department cannot do more
at this stage than It baa done, namely,
return a polite acknowledgment through
Mr. Riddle of the note and watch develop
ments in Europe. It Is not supposed that
there will be at once any action toward
railing any 'congress, but rather the dis
cussion as to the character of tbe Russian
sr.t.em of regulation ' of sugar production
will proceed, certainly up to the date set
for tbe application of the sugar agreement
reached at Brussels for the stoppage of
sugar bounties and, the exclusion from im
portation of bounty-aided sugar. That ac
tion will, it Is expected, precipitate some
decision upon the Russian proposals.
MEDALS FOR; VALOR IN WAR

far Herltarloas Servlee la West
WASHINGTON, July Z5. Now that the
list of officers and men of tbe navy who
are to receive the Weet Indian campaign
medals snd bars has been completed, the
naval board on awards Is busying lUelf
with the "meritorious service" medala,
whlcb are Intended to go to those officer
who rendered particularly telling services
. In the West Indian naval campaign.
I So far only tour persons hsvs been de-
elded upon for the meritorious service
medal. These are Lieutenant Rlchmoad
Pearson Hobsoo, for tbe well-known feat
with Merrlmai; Lleu.enants Ward and
Buck, for their perilous mission Into Spain,
sol Lieutenant Victor Blue, for his fa
mous work in connection with the location
of the Spanish Beet In Santiago harbor.
It is understood that meritorious service
medals sre intended for the Astertcaa s9-
tccrs and men whe rendered sxccptlonal
successfully oppliod in f
service In the rescue of the drowning offi
cers and. men of the defeated Spanish fleet
at Santiago. The reports of the rescue
showed that the Spaniard themselves
showed warnings to the rescuers not to
approach for fear of the exploding maga-
tlnes, but the American persisted In their
efforts to -eave In the face of menacing
destruction. ,
The main function of the award board
is not to specify individuals tor recogni
tion, but to select certain service which
It deems worthy of commemoration by
medals.

Berloasly Retards Iron' anal

NEW YORK. July 25.-R, CJ. Dunn &
Co. 'a Weekly Review of Trade says:
Each day brlnga the agricultural products
of the 'nation nearer maturity and as the
possibility of any serious Injury becomes
smaller the feeling of confidence In fully
sustained trade grows stronger. Railway
stocks rose to new high record quotations
and gold was exported, yet money ruled
easy. July oats aucceeded corn as the lead
ing speculative cereal, but all distant grain
options tended lower as the outlook Lim
proved. The heavy distribution of mer
chandise Is shown by railway earnings thus
far reported for July being 23 per .cent
larger than last year and 20 per cent in
excess of the corresponding period of 1900.
Insufficient fuel is the one serious diffi
culty In the Iron and steel Industry Inter
ruptions and delays from thia cause becom
ing more noticeable each day. Supplies of
coal are curtailed by the strike, although
coke ovens are Inaklng new records of pro
duction. Shipments are retarded by the
car and motive power shortage. In a
market where there Is comparative dullness
because deliveries cannot be made promptly
the outlook for long continued activity
seems favorable, especially as the scarcity
of fuel cannot continue a factor indefinitely.
All forms of pig Iron have sold ahead and
there is no evidence of over production In
the near future at least. Billets are still
somewhat unsettled by heavy Importations,
yet domestic prices are steaay ana turtner
foreign arrivals are expected. The week
has brought out more liberal orders for
railway supplies and the etructural mills

machinery and tools grpw more confident

OUR NATIONAL DISEASE.
Ceased by Coffee.
Physicians know that drugs will not
correct the evils caused by coffee, and ths
only remedy is to atop drinking It.
Dr. W. J. Allison of Heber, Ark., says:
"I have been a coffee drinker for 60 years
and have often thought that I could not
live without It, but after many years of
suffering with our national malady, dyspep
sia. I attributed it to the drinking of coffee.
and after tome thought determined to use
I'ostum Food Coffee for my morning drink.
I saw that Postum was made carefully with
directions and found It Just auited my taste.
At firat I used It only for breakfast, but
I found myself getting so much better
that I used It at all meals and I am pleased
to say that It has entirely cured me ef
Indigestion. I gained It pounds in 4 montbt
and my general health Is great!? Improved.
"I must tell you of a yr.ung lady in Illi
nois. She bad been in ill health for many
years, tbe vital forces low, with but little
pain. I wrote her of the good that Postum
did me aad advised her to try it. At the
end of the year she wrote me that Postum
had entirely cared her and that she had
gained 44 pounds la weight and felt like

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK. July 25.-Bradstreefs says:
Crop conditions aa to corn and cotton have
Improved and the confidence In fall trade
shows no diminution, but rather an in
crease. The best advices come, as here
tofore, from the northwest and southwest.

late. A further improvement is, however,.!
noticed In shoes and leather, and wool Is
again higher in price, despite manufactur
ers noiaing Daric nuying. Among tne in
dustries iron and steel are eaaily first In
activity, and relief from the so-called pig
Iron famine Is sought In freer importa
tions. The fruit season ia now in full
swing and promises to be heavy.
Produce Is still high despite flattering
crop prospects. Oats has suffered the pre
dicted squeeze and reached the highest
price of a generation. Range cattle and
Texas hides have surpassed all records.
On the other hand, the cereals, cotton and
I hog product reflecting the Improved crop
I reports are wer. Coffee, though galvan-
lsea oy speculation, arags painiuny owing
to existing large stocks and good Brazil
crop conditions. As Indicative of activity
In widespread airectiona ii is noted Dy
western hardware men that there will be
no dull season this year. Railroad earn
ings show gains of over t per cent so far
for July, and bank clearings have began
to show the gains earlier predicted over
last year'a totals, reduced aa they were
by hot weather and drouth effects on spec
ulation. Crop reports to Bradstreet's are
especially good from the southwest, where
corn and cotton have been favored by good
gicwtng weather.
With pig Iron consumers clamorous for
supplies the balance of this year'a produc
tion already booked and free buying for the
first half of next year at only 11 per ton
less than regular ratea, and foreign Imports
large, the Iron and steel trade In the
cruder forms presents exceptional elements
of strength.
Buyers of structural iron are engaging
far ahead, steel rails orders are large and
bar and sheet sales are large, though not
as heavy as last week.
In, hardware the activity is notable and
tbe change of seasons appears to bring
no letup in the demand. Tin and copper
have weakened under freer offerings.
Wool la not especially active, but Is held
higher at leading eastern centers. Some
Improvement la noted among New York
dry gnocs rubbers, but the feeling grows
that the season will be rather later than
usual. Cotton goods are nractirally un
changed In price. Reports of southern mills
