SACRAMENTO, Jan. 14th. THE
Convention re-assembled at 2 p. NJ.
and went into Committee of the
Whole on the Right of Suffrage,
section one under consideration,
Considerable discussion arose over
this clause of the section, "Every
native male citizen of the United
States and every male naturalized
citizen thereof, who shall become
such ninety days prior to any elec.
ton, OF the age of twenty-one
years, and who shall have been O
resident of the State one year next
preceding, and of the election dis
trict in which he claims his vote
ninety days, shall be entitled to
vote" The substitute and am end i.
ment were rejected and the provls-
ion above quoted retained.
The following amendment, Of
fered by Miller. was adopted: No
person hereafter convicted of en-
bezzlement or misappropriation Of
public money while holding office
or employed in the public service,
shall ever exercise the privilege of
an elector.
Sections 2, 8, 4and were adopted
without amendment.
The Committee then recon-
mended the article for passage as
amended.
The article on water and water
rights was next considered.
The following substitute for Sec
tion was adopted:
Use Of all water now appropri-
ated, or that may hereafter be APP
propriated, for sale, rental or distri-
button, IL hereby declared to be for

IT Is pleasing aud significant
fact. made patent by the report of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
that 1,2l3, 3,24I gallons of California
wines were received in New York
last year by rail, steamship and
schooner round the Horn. The fact
IL undeniable that they are growing
In popularity day by day. They
are not only consumed under the
labels which they bore when they
left our vineyards. but are extern
sively manipulated in New York
and served up under enticing for
eign names. They are frequently
mixed with Rhine ami other Euro
pean light wines, to the manifest
i'm provement, so experienced wine
men say. Of both. There can be
little doubt that, inside of ten ears,
the California wines sold in New
York will bear fair proportion to
those of foreign vintage. The
amount OF these wines handled in
New York. however, is no fair test
Of the amount now sold in the East.
Some Of the heaviest depots for
their sale are in st. Louis and
Chicago. Our vignerons have al
ready achieved quite proficiency
in making champagnes, aud this
branch Of the business is undoubt-
odIly destined to make rapid advan-
ces and improvements. The Call
fornia champagne is even now

A Repr,evs one minute Too L.tc.


MAUcH CHUNK, Pa, Jan. 14lh,
1910 A. M.-The drop has just fallen
and it is thought the necks of
Sharpe and Mcdonnell have been
broken. A telegraphic reprieve
has just arrived, but is about one
minute too late.
The reprieve was received in
Mauoh Chunk by telegraph at 1887
and the manager of the office
rushed to the Jail with it. He rang
the bell violently about half
minute before the drop fell and
started for the door-keeper. Mrs.
Mcdonald and her children were
ut the door weeping loudly, but
the door-keeper did not seem to
understand that the dispatch was q
reprieve. 1t was from Governor
Hartranft and granted reprieve
until Monday.
The Tardy R-prieve-Gress Excite
mens Among sne Frieads Of
the CuIprifs.
MAUCH CHUNK, Jan. 14.-When
the Governors reprieve arrived at
the Jail this morning, scene Of
intense excitement occurred, but
although the culprits had only been
hanging few moments, there was
no movement toward cutting them
down. The telegraph messenger
reached the door of the Jail before
the drop fell. but no heed was
taken of his knocking and ringing,
the wife of one culprit having pre-
viously been extremely violent
outside. When the drop fell the
knocking and ringing continued
aud the Sheriff sent out man
to arrest the parties whom
he imagined to be creating the dis
turbance. 1t was then found to be
a telegraph messenger with re-
prieve. A brother of Mcdonnell,
who had been kneeling by the
scafold, arose and excitedly
charged the Sheriff and by.standers
with the murder of his brother.
The excitement spread and the
Sheriff appealed to one Of the
priests, who exonerated him from
blame. Amid this excitement the
reproaches of the maddened
brother OF Mcdonnell and the wall
ings of the bereaved families out
side, the culprits seem to have
been forgotten and they remained
hanging for thirty minutes after
the drop fell. There is no reasona-
BILE doubt, however, but that they
were both dead when the reprieve
came. After the bodies were cut
down they were placed in coffi MS
and given to their families, whose
cries could be heard for several
blocks, adding greatly to the pre-.
valling excitement.

DR. ROBERT j. GREGG, of San
Diego, gentleman of excellent
Judgment IN most matters, has
lately made q tour of Southern
Arizona. He has communica ted
eome of the results of his observa-
items to the San Diego Union and
ha0 the followlng'to.say of the fa-
NOUS Tombstone district:
Remaining In Tucson only one
day, we pushed OH towards the
Tombstone mining district. These
new mines ara believed to DO very
valuable. The ledges are well de-
fined, and an experienced assayer
told me that the ore was Of high
grade. 1t was my good fortune to
travel through the mining regions
with an old miner, who had for
years served as foreman in some
rich mines in Nevada. 1t was his
opinion that large mining town
would soon spring up at Tomb
stone. These mines are located
eight or ten miles east of the San
eutO xtveTI anu ABOUT thirty miles
from the Sonora line. 1t was said
that good ledges had been found in
the Santa Rita mountains, and also
In the Huachuca, Dragon, Mule
anil Whetstone mountains.
There seems TO be no reason TO
doubt that a mining section of
great richness Is being developed
south Of Tucson, so rich ar. ex-
esnaive. In fact, that it7romises to
pay hnndsensIy Notwithstanding
the drawbacks of great distance
from the centres Of capital and the
expensivs transportation. Now
would seem TO be the golden time
for practical men of means to push
out fer Arizona. More and more,
month by menth, as the railway
advances, will attention be at.
tracted to these rich mines, and the
chances Of bargains on the bed-rocs
principle be lessened.

AN incident occasionally reach
es US which is calculated to recon-
cile most people to cremation. The
Board of Supervisors Of San Diego
county are now giving their ntten-
tion to such a case. 1t appears
that the individual who has the
contract for burying the dead
county poor not only showed them
into holes barely three and four
feet deep, but he sometimes
crammed two corpses into single
one of these shallow pits, merely
scattering,a little dirt over them,
for appearance sake. Not only
that, but it is gravely alleged that
he sometimes found it convenient
to put two bodies in q single coffin,
the coffin without lining, by the
way. If man were allowed his
choice between being consumed to
ashes by nice clean wood or sea.
coal fire, or being subjected to such
post mortem outrages as these, we
are inclined to think he would vote
for cremation every time.
Had Stewart been cremated
he might have stood Sc
ourely in a handsome vase on
the mantel-piece of his wife's
boudoir, and would not have beer
subjected to the infamy of being
dragged around the country in 8
bag. On the whole, if many sucf
atrocities as these Of the Stewart
body-snatcher come to the public
ear cremation may become fash
ionable yet. Besides, there is nt
setting young sawbones to hacking
and cutting cfemated corpse on
the dissecting table of a medical
college, aud when you are we'll Gre
mated you are certain to be dead
which is more than can be said oi
all who are rammed into cofflns
and en- bedded in mother earth.

excusable error of making such a gift by
its equivalent in cash. But with the per
yerseness that sometimes accompanies
simple-minded benevolence he refuses to
do it. So there are seven barrels of beer
that are like to sour on the hands of this
Michigan minister as contraband goods
goods that are too spiritual to be used for
spiritual purposes. From the minister's
standpoint he is undoubtedly right in
the stand he has taken. His motives
should not be misconstrued. Had he
yielded to the baleful influence of beer
on his next appeal for contributions some
of his admiring friends might have sent
him billiard table or a gross of playing
cards or Il trotting horse to be rafllcd for
at the next Church Fair. Happy is the
man who, without guile in his heart or
anger in his eye, can thus put away the
to sanction a minute evil that
a possible good may come, and thrice
happy is the Michigan flock that has
such a shepherd to lead them by the still
waters, and away from the waters of the
still! But what shall be done with the
beer?
