THERE is more favorable prospect
for the wine.makers than there was a
short time ago. The price of wine has
advanced, and the outlook for the
seasons vintage is 30 far improved that
the vignerons in the northern part of the
State are greatly encouraged. Wine
that was considered drug in the market
four months ago at from 9 to 10 cents
per gallon is now selling at from Is TO
IA cents, with an increasing demand.
The money syndicate organized here to
make loans to harvest the grape crop has
had an encouraging effect, and the wine
yield this season will be much larger
than was anticipated. In this con-
nection we may say that there
has been no further solution
Of the cause of the n,alnero. Our leading
vineyaidists have settled down to the be-
lief that it is an atmospheric disease
which will run its course and disappear.
All wine countries have been visited at
intervals by it, or disease similar to it..
The vineyards of Italy are frequently at
tackled by it, and the couture, which is Of
the same family, is always more or less
prevalent in some parts of France. TAX
ing the experience of the European
vine countries into considera-
ton, we may look upon this
visitation as one Of 30 rare occurrence as
to leave US singularly fortunate. Some
of the vines attacked have been planted
out sixty years, and instances may be
cited near the Mission San Gabriel
where vines were planted one hundred
years sgo. AS this is the first visitation
We have had Of this or any other serious
disease in our old vines, we may safely
put the period of healthy production OF
the vine in this section at sixty or more
years. Surely there is nothing discour-
aging in an industry that is only liable
to backset Of this character once every
three score years. As compared with
the hylloxera, the nsalnero is as measles
is to smallpox.

LIZ THE suit for damages of ex-Judge
Edward MCGOWAN against the Bancroft
History Company should be prosecuted
it will reopen many pages Of SURPRISING
interest in the annals of California,
Judge MCGOWAN was one of the special
objects OF interest of the Vigilantes in
1856. His arrest had been ordered and
a posse had been detailed to make it.
He fed. Jim Dennison, who was a
conspicuous character at that time.
and familiar with the country from
Siskiyou to San Diego, got the Judge out
of San Francisco, and with relays of
horses he and MCGOWAN started for
Santa Barbara. But the Vigilantes heard
that he was there, and sent men TO
arrest him. He was hurriedly got away
from Santa Barbara, and started further
south. The Vigilantes were not
far behind. He arrived at the old
Mission house of San Fernando, where
Don Andreas Pico was living. Andreas
was friend of the Judge, and
willingly gave him an asylum. He
bad not been there long before
word was received that the Vigilantes
we're near at hand. Don Andreas, who
was bright, brave man, and quick at
expedients, wrapped Judge MCGOWAN
up in carpet, and stuffed the precious
package up the ample chimney in the
fireplace of the refectory. The vigilantes
searched everywhere but in the right
place, and left. This was a close call

SPURIOUS SHEEPSKINS.
The ensatlOnAl Disclosure Of
Bogus m edlcal College.

DOk tA0 ul O0tCaA OOl1eECs
Boston, September ga special from
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, says a
great sensation has been caused there by
the discovery Of another bogus college OF
medicine, similar in management to, and
larger in extent, than the Druid College
of Maine, full expose Of which was
made some years ago. This latest char
tered institution is the Trinity University
of Medicine and Surgery, having it's
nominal headquarters at Bennington,
Vermont. Its methods Of business,
briefly told, are these:
Any person desiring to buy diploma,
covering both medicine and surgery has,
if possessing the necessary money, been
given his choice of the following insti.
tutions, all of which exist merely on
paper: The University of Cincinnati
Medical College; New York State
Medical College; Trenton, New Jer-
sey, Medical College; University Of
New Hamhshire; Trinity University Of
Medicine and Surgery. The value of
"sheepskins" representing the above in
situations has varied from $50 to $500
each. There is no doubt that hundreds
OF them have been purchased throughout
the West and South, while New England
alone has besn victimized by scores.
DR.. Adams, Of Manchester, Chairman
of the State Board of Oensors, while pur-
suing official Investigations in the State

amount of mail sent from and delivered

ton Yves combined and constitutes prob
ably only small percentage of the ex-
listing evidence relative to the great sy..

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
CHICAGO, September 29.-Three brand
new Tascott stories made their appear.
ance to-day. They all purport to solve
the mystery of Millionaire SHELLS MUIR
der, but agree only in conveying the i'm
preston that Taseott was not the real
criminal. The most important of the
three narratives quotes as authority an
alleged well-known lawyer whose name
is withheld, He says he was consulted
professionally the day after the murder
by one of two men who did the killing
James Gillian, an ex-convict, Aow dead.
Tascott's connection with the case is ex-
planned in this version by the statement
that Gillian had hidden the plumber in
Tascott's room during the latter's alb
sence from the city.
The sensational feat ure of the story is
the unqualified statement that Gillian,
on his death-bed, at the county hospital,
six months ago, made free confession
of the crime to Father ]. Sullivan, OF St.
Jarlath's Catholic church. Dramatic

stricken appearance after learning the
secret are given, accompanied by de-
scription of the holy peace that immedi-
ateiy appeared il the face Of the dying
convict.
Father Sullivan was seen today and
emphatically denied the story in toto.
One of the two other stories had it
that the millionaire was slain by pair
of toughs who were hired by mysteri-
GUS third party. The third story is to
the effect that professional burglars,
their identity not even limited at, killed
Smell as an incident in the course OF their
professional occupation, and have since
disposed of Tsscott, against whom sus-
picion was unjustly directed. The
trimmings of this article are that Tascett
was an illegitimate son; that after the
tragedy he was hidden for months in
his mothers house disguised as SER
want girl, and was taken by her to the
Pacific Coast. The conclusion is in the
nature of vague suggestion that he was
subsequently killed by the real criminals
in Alaska.
Tonight the Gillian story was exploded
even more thoroughly than it had been
by Father Sullivan. A sergeant at the
West Lake Street Police Station showed
by reference to his records that the man
said to have confessed the murder was
at the time of the crime safe under lock
and in a cell, many blocks away from
the mansion of the Inflated millionaire
