pie who reside here are aware, Is not
the land of the grape aud the fig, and
the orange, nsr OF the banana, yet we
have plenty Of all that sort Of frui,
In our bountiful markets, fresh, re.
celved daily from California and else
where, In its proper season. Fruit OF
all kinds keeps better here than In
California. therefore we have 1t Of su-
perior quality. although none worth
speaking Of grows here among the
sagebrush and alkali. 10 some people
It would perhaps seem a queer story
that very superior wine 10 manuiac-
tured here. but such Is the fact. We
know of several residents, especially
among u Sclayonlsn friends at Vir-
einia City, who every season manufac-
ture all the wine they want, from Cali
fornia grapes. The best we have tasted
Is the port, made by Andrew Milato-
yich. whose grocery and fruit store Ia
at the north END Of Virginia, on G
street. IL Is the pure juice OF the
grape, rich. mellow and fragrant, and
fsr superior to any imported article.
He makes other varieties Of wine, and
also pure apple cider. Mr.. Milatovich
Il one Of tho oldest and most respected
citizens OF Virginia, and his wine
making experience In his native land
proves OF effective service here. Grapes
can be purchased by the ton cheap In
California. and with the present rail-
road facilities, al be transported
cheaply and In fine condition to this
section, therefore there Is no reason
why wine cannot be manufactured
here probably and Of the best quality
If a person only knows how as Mils-
tovich does. =
PIpRR's OPERA HoysE.-Last even
ing the Chapman sisters were greeted
with a full house on the occasion Of
their second appearance at Plper's
Opera House. The entertainment
opened, as on the previous evening,
with the farce Of "Aeting Mad"
which was enacted In . very spirited
manner, and gave general satisfaction.
The burlesque, Little Don Giovanni"
was also repeated, with q noticeable
improvement in Its rendition. The
makeup Of the two sisters, Blanche
and Ella, was . very attractive one,
and the singing and dancing BY the
young ladies was highly enjoyed by
the audience. A number Of local hits
were made, and loudly applauded.
The evenings entertainment wound
up with another exhibition Of ventril-
oquism by Mr.. Z. D.. Davies. who kept
the audience %convulsed with laughter
during the whole time he was on the
stage. He Is q host In himself, and a
perfect master OF the ve~ntriloqulstic
art. The way he cuffed little Tom
Jones for making unreasonable re-
marks, was laughable In the extreme.
This evening there will be an entire
change ofprogramme, the performance
opening with the delightful play OF
Gold Demon aud concluding with an-
other of Davies inimitabls entertain
ments. which OF Itself alsne Is worth
the price Of admission.
