On the road, which was carefully fenced on
both sides and lined with vineyards there is
one place worthy of mention. 1t belongs to
Mrs. Kate NJ Warfield, who is familiarly
known as the Queen of the Viney "
1t consists Of several hundred acres, lying on
both sides of the road, the largo hospita bic
looking house occupying a gentle elevation
and overlooking the whole. She is woman
of slight physique and small strength,
but she has large amount of will
and great executive ability She
metamorphosed the ranch inside of a
year. She built new fences. cleared out
the phylloxera infested fields, imported the
latest and best machinery, tried Experiments
with new varieties OF grapes, personally
superintended the work in the fields and ives
recognized before one season was over as one
of the ablest vineyardists of the county. All
her land is we'll worked the fields free from
weeds, and the vines in good condition.
As an example of the energy and thorough
ness which she has infused into the WORK, it
may be stated that she obtained this year
the first prize at the Mechanics Institute faiI
in San Francisco for brandy against many
competitors. This season her grape crop is
very large. Her example is good one tC
cite for the benefit of those who pirate about
the lack of opportunity for women in occu
pations usually given up to men.

CLEVELAND'S CHRISTMAS.
THEDAY TO BE SPENT QUIETLY
AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The President

hut will eat his Christmas dinner with
Miss Cleveland. The President will sign
the bill granting pension TO Mrs. Grant
in time for that measure to become law

dent has signed the bill giving him relief

BECK's SILVER SPEECH.
The politicians are talking a great deal
about Mr.. Beck's silver speech. The
silverites praise it highly, and have
already subscribed for 80. 900 copies of it
for circulation, chiefly in the West. They
expect to circulate over 100.0O0 copies Of
H. They commend it as representing
generally their views on the adminis-
tration policy in regard to silver,
and will initiate it in speeches in
both Houses when the matter
/ comes up after the holidays. The recon-
mendation of the President and Secre-
tary of the Treasury respecting silver
will be embodied in resolutions which
will be offered in both houses. Mr.. Nc
Pberson, of New Jersey, will probably
offer the administration resolution in the
senate, and Mr.. Hewitt in the House.
That the debate viii be a bitter one may
he inferred from Mr.. Beck s speech and
the expressions of approval bestowed on
it by the other silverites. The latter
claims to be stronger in both houses than
before the Presidents message was re-
ceiYed, and declare very confidently that
there will be no change in the law with
respect to silver coinage at this session.
