The wine-growers OF California have
hitherto put foreign names to their
wines, but it is reported that the idea
of American names for American wines
is gaining Roadway, The drift in the
opposite direction has been SO strong
that concerted action will be neces-
sary. The wine-makers cannot we'll
complain of downright fraud in sell
ing homegrown wines under foreign
labels so long as they continue the
absurdity of using foreign names.

pardon. He was doing about as we'll
in prison as he could do out oft, and
he was satisfied to let we'll enough
alone.

THE Plymouth Rock room is full Of fine
Mile Rhea.

The engagement of Mile Rhea, at the
Opera House, commencing Friday evening,
promises to be a gigantic success. OF
course the role of Peggy Thrift" in the
Country Girl" will be the strong attrac-
ton, but the public, and the ladies especi-
ally, have an ambition to become possessed
of one of the silver souvenir medals to be
distributed al the initial performance.
Speaking of Mile Rhea in this play, the
Memphis appeal says: Mile Rhea's
acting was rather a revelation to those who
had seen the lady only in the severe lines
of the legitimate. In the first act she was
a delightful romping country girl. In the
second act she made a very handsome boy,
and acted with an ease and grace that was
quite captivating. She made many new
friends, and gave a new assurance of her
versatility"

SUIT FOR LIBEL
Against the "IntelliGencer," Pending In
the Circuit Court,

Against the "InteIigencer," Pending in
the Circuit Court.
In Part Two OF the Circuit Court, Judge
Boyd, yesterday morning, the libel suit of
John Gray V. Frew q Hart, publishers and
proprietors OF the IateHigeaccr, in which
plaintiff claims 50. 600 damages, was put
on trial before the following jury: j. S.
Creighton, Hiram Woods, James w. Davis,
e. T. Goff, w. F. Carter, T. A. Morris,
MI. Carr, Doc. Chapman, James Cook,
w. c.. Cummins, Patrick Reilly and John
Collins.
The action is based upon a publication
made in the Mteligeacer ofOctober IL, 1885,
headed"'A Crazy Man With a Knife" the
article relating q difficulty Mr.. Gray had
with Captain Is. b. Dovener, on the preyi-
Gus day, on the sidewalk in front of the
Captains law office, or Chapline street,
during which Gray made demonstrations
of n threatening character toward MIR.
DOvener, while the latter prepared to de-
fend himself by drawing 4 revolver. There
was also Il further publication, on August
Sd, 1SS6, headed who is Gray?" in
which the writer said there was some doubt
as To the identity of the person in whose
name the suit had been brought.
The plaintiff cOntented himself with the
submission of the declaration and a copy of
the articles complained of. The evidence
adduced by the defence showed that the
difficulty alleged to have occurred in the
article of October Is, 1885, did actually
take place, and that the paper published
an accurate account oft, and further adj
duCed evidence going to show thatthe first
publication was written in the regular
course of police news gathering, and that
there WAS no malice on the part Of either
reporters, editors or proprietOrs. The
second publication was based upon fruit
less enquiries rs to who Mr.. Gray was, and
was also without malice.
When the case was rested, about q our
ter past three o'clock p. NJ, Mr.. j. 3. Nc
Clure, of Marshall county, counsel for the
plaintiff, moved to exclude the evidence
for the defense on the ground that no JUS
tiication for the publication had been
shown, and that the publication was not \
proper cue. He argued the points raised
ut great length, and the matter was still
pending when Court adjourned until this
morning.
In Part One of this Court, Judge Jacob,
the argument of counsel on the demurrer
of the petitioners to the answer of the city
in the matter of the Police and Fire Board
ordinance, were commenced, Mr.. Melvin
speaking for the petitioners, and being fol-
lowed by Dir. q. b. Caldwell for the city.
The argument will he continued to-day
by other counsel. The merits of the whole
matter are being discussed by the able
counsel on each side.

of the show;
Last evening at Fosters, Prof. Morris

1t would be difficult to make a comparison
ofthis show with any other for the reason
that it has no competition III the road. 1t
is a speciality which enjoys a complete
monopoly in what has been denominated
the ''Equine-Ca Canine Paradox" Fifty
handsome dogs and ponies would make a
good show off the stage even, but when
one sees dogs and ponies mixed up in a
happy family sort of a way, performing
surprising acts, tricks, etc, with the celer-
ity and seeming human instincts, it makes
the show doubly attractive" Reserved
