Sixty-three persons were killed, seventy-five wounded and prop erty worth $50,000 was wrecked to-day by an earthquake which shocked the Mexican capital and injected a note of tragedy into what was to have been a day of pure rejoicing over the arrival of Francisco I. Madero, Jr. When the work of searching the ruins is completed, it is pos sible that the list of dead will be increased somewhat, as hiding here and there throughout the city there doubtless are many wounded, who, with traditional fear of the authorities and gov ernment hospitals, are anxious to evade discovery. The property loss estimate is based on calculations made by owners and contractors. Little of the loss is covered by insurance. It was 4:36 o'clock when the first shock was felt. According 0 to the meteorological observa tory, the greatest intensity was reached at the end of the first minute, but the instruments con tinued to record the shocks four teen minutes more. The disturbance was vacillating and almost free from trepidatory motion. More than half of the dead ac counted for were soldiers. They were caught between the falling walls of thesirtillery barracks at San Q-iiear the Mexican Centrist I. Althoui w shock was plain ly felt in all parts of the city, few realized the magnitude of the cata'TDhe until late in the forenooiLecause the casualties were confined to a comparatively small area. The inhabitants were slow to realize that this was tne most serious shock the capitol has suffered in a score of years. No personal property of Amer icans was damaged, and, with the exception of one Chinese killed, no foreigners were in jured. In the barracks where the soldiers were killed twelve women also lost their lives. They were tne wives ot artillerymen. Seventy-two soldiers were sleeping in the house. Approxi mately thirty-five were quartered on the first floor, the remainder on the second. The outer wall fell and the roof, crashing down . i . i on tne sleeping men on tne sec ond floor, hut led them down through the ceiling on their com rades below. The bodies of thirty soldiers have been recovered. Three are missing and sixteen are wounded, a few severely. Those who escaped began the work of rescue at once. Women, whose soldier husbands were in the pile, stood by wailing in groups while chldren clung to their mothers' dresses and stared curiously at the gruesome scene. Ambulances later carried the wounded to the military hospitals and the dead to Dolores ceme tery. Duke Makinj a Mountain -Costly Freak of Tobacco King. Adams Letter in Boston News Bureau. James Buchanan Duke gets a million dollars a year in dividends from his American Tobacco stock. He is now spending some of this money in building a mountain on his country estate at Somerville, N. J. Duke's place is on a level stretch of bottomland near the Watchung mountains, and the view from his home is limited. So he is hauling in train loads of earth to build himself a moun tain and thus arrange the to pography of his acres to suit his fancy. On top of the mountain he is going to build another man sion. If the mountain won't come to an American millionaire he can haul it in. The Duke fortue is founded on cigarettes. The original Ameri can Tobacco Company of 1890 the year of the . nti-trust act was a $25,000,000 cigarette trust built on $5,000,000 of hard as sets. The Dukes had a 30 per cent interest in the capitaliza tion. They had built up their business from $200,000 a year in 1883 to $4,500,000 in 1889, and in the last year they spent $800,000 in advertising. It was the costly advertising war in the cigarette trade that brought the five big cigarette companies together. They controlled 90 per cent, of the country's output. Duke has made cigarettes popular in this country. The enormous increase in the consumption of cigarettes has been the result of his aggres sive advertising campaign. As late as 1870 the annual pro duction was less than 50,000,000 cigarettes, or about one for every inhabitant. Now it is 7,000,000, 000 or about 80 times as large per capita. Only within the last five years the output of cigar ettes has doubled. The profit in manufacturing them is enormous this is the richest end of the American Tobacco business. When cigarettes wrere made by hand the labor in rolling them cost about a dollar a thousand. Now cigarettes are made in ma chines at a cost of six cents or seven cents a thousand for rolling.

Tells Members of National Electric Light Association of His Latest In vention. New York American. Thomas A. Edison was the guest of honor yesterday, the third day of the convention of the National Electric Light As sociation. Mr. .Edison bowed his thanks and Mr. Samuel Isull read a set speech for him. After ward the inventor said he was ready with the inventions of which he had spoken before the storage tattery that will run a car or wagon and the motion picture machine with the wcrds spoken as the action proceeds. "The storage battery for a wagon," said he, "is operating on a butcher's wagon in Orange. It costs 25 cents to run it 17 miles. You recharge it at the end of every trip with an ordinary feed wire. The battery is fitted under the seat. "The surface ear is being oper ated at Concord, N. C, and they are laughing at the rest of the United States for using trolley cars. It runs very cheaply. Of the moving picture and talking machine combination, the inventor said he and his associ ates were nearly ready to place it upon the market "We have a theater in the Bronx with a stage bigger than the Metropolitan Opera House. We have about 60 actors going hrough new dramas. They talk into a megaphone. We have about forty dramas. All that is to be done is to get the business end straightened out and they will be in the moving picture shows. ' 'We've not applied it to the Shakespearean dramas yet, but it will get there. It'll be good for every kind of drama. We've had tests of it and it's all right. wnen asked it the trolley car was going to be "put out of busi ness," he said: ' 'Certainly. After awhile there won't be any more trolleys. Edison said that this was the first electric light convention he had ever attended, although he invented the electric light in 1874. Fare For Mr. Caesar Cone's Fourth. Charlotte Chronicle. Mr. Caesar Cone has announced the completed details for the an nual Fourth of July Picnic and dinner to the operatives of his cotton mills, at Greensboro. The 1911 event is to be a more elabo rate one than those of the past What would the operatives of a New England mill village think of being invited to "set to" on a ay-out of 500 gallons of ice i a orv AAA cream, assorted navors; .u.uw fresh eggs; 10,000 smoked frank furters; 5,000 bags of peanuts; 10,000 fancy watermelons to weigh 35,000 pounds; 1,000 pounds of confectioneries; 100 crates of luscious Elberta peach es; carload ripe pineapples to be sliced and buried in 1000 pounds of sugar; 50 gallons of fresh sweet milk for the babies and voung children; 5,000 buns for sandwitches; 100 crates of ripe tomatoes; 15,000 sweet and sour mVlrles! 5. 000 ears of corn. Yet that is the cemmissionary con tract for the picric entertain ment of the people employed in the Cone mills. Not only do these people experience the liberal evi dence oi good win oi me unes on the Fourth of July, but on Thanksgiving Day and Christ mas, they live on turicey ana cranberry sauce and things of that kind. This is typical of the relations existing between Southern cotton irill owner and their help, and it if a feature of Southern cotton mill life that the Northern philanthropists are not in the least concerned about The Chronicle suggests to Mr. Cone that he-make an effort to have some of these Northern newspaper and magazine writers spend the Fourth as guests. ., ' i" ' 11 i ; How can the baby grow strong if the nursing mother is pale and delicate? Scott's Emulsion makes the mother strong and well; increases and en riches the baby's food, pr. Warning ts Farmers Mr. E. S. Millsaps, of States ville, pointing to the extremely hot weather now prevailing in that section of the state, sends out a letter to the farmers urg ing upon them the necessity of practicing "close culture methods in order to conserve the soil moisture." Mr. Millsaps states that the fact that there is a deficiency of 18 inches in the rainfall calls for extra efforts in the line of pulverizing the soil. His letter follows: I want to urge upon every farmer to use all the means in his power to keep the surface of the cultivated fields well pulver ized during the continuance of the dry weather, and after every rain that comes. As soon as rain comes there will be millions of grass and weed seeds that will ger ninate, and unless the soil is kept well stirred these addition al plants will further rob the soil of moisture that the crop, will need, and besides the evapora tion that will follow if the soil becomes crusted will be immense. I know that labor is scarce and dear, but by the use of such ma chinery as is suited to the various crops, good work may be done at the right time. "No better object lesson on 4-U nnlna rt ViwnnorVi nrpnara. tion of the seed bed could be had man wie cuiiuiwvm ui mc wua at this time. In every instance the fall broken land is starting off a better crop than the spring broken land, and the further fact is seen also that the well cultivated soil is supplying the i . i j. r 3 young plants more piant iuou and water than the poorly culti vated soil. The time has not really come when the plants re quire the greatest amount of water, and this good cultivation must continue right along. "Where the stand of cotton and corn is good enough not much damage has resulted to the crops, yet the crisis will come a little later, and every farmer should be prepared to combat it as much as possible. This can be done only by the best cultivation." Carrie Nation, Famous Saloon Smash er, is Lead. Leavenport. Kansas.

Said to Have Made $50,000 Out of Each of Later Books. Truth. The papers have been printing a great deal of pure nonsense on the subject of Dickens's literary gains. We are told among other things that the emoluments from his books were "totally inade quate, owing to the non-existence of copyright." No writer of his time was so highly paid as Dickens. It was calculated by one who knew all about his affairs that he made about 10,000 out of each of the books which he wrote after 1846. The price paid down for "Edwin Drood" was 7,500. Author and publisher were to share equally in the profit of sales of over 25,000 copies and 50,000 were sold of each of the opening numbers. The payments for the early sheets for American and for the Tauchnitz edition must have brought the author about 2,000 besides. Dickens is stated to have died leaving "earnings that often ac crue to a respectable solicitor." That is rubbish also. Dickens left $93,000 in round figures, and this did not include a consider able sum of money that he had settled some years before his death. His readings (1858-69) had brought in about 36,000. It is forgotten that Dickens began life without one penny and that every farthing he spent or gave away or left was earned himself, only excepting 2,000 which was bequeathed to him by a friend about two years before his own death. Dickens lived liberally (some people said ex travagantly), for about thirtv- four " years, he brought up and started in life a large and very expensive family and he gave a great deal of money to needy relatives.
