THIS will be an off-year with our wine
men, and the drawback is widely ex-
tended. The pest which first made it's
appearance in Los Angeles county has
developed in the upper counties. In the
Napa and Sonoma valleys mildew has
been specially destructive. The phyllox-
era has been practically conquered by
the planting of harder stocks, like the
Ripario, but the new enemy of the grape
has not yet been successfully treated, or
at least not so successfully as might be
desired.

to know whether or no the courts of Cali
fornia are 10 be ignored as to offences
committed in this State. The common
wealth will doubtless be represented
creditably in the argument, and
it will be of lasting significance.
If it should be decided that a
citizen of California can be killed within
the jurisdiction of this State, and that
her tribunals have no right to take cogni-
zance of the offense. a great and unmis-
taxable step will have been taken in the
line Of Capitalization. There is marked
tendency on the part Of the Federal
courts to reach out for new lines of juris-
diction such as might pass unnoticed in
time of war, but which challenge at.
tention in a time OF profound peace.
There are three ways of looking at the
killing of Judge Terry. One is that
which makes the Supreme Court of the
United States sort of peripatetic tribu-
nal, dependent on the personal move
ments of the Judge. Another locks upon
the killing of Terry by Neagle as hasty,
but palliated by the circumstances, but
thinks that the Deputy Marshal ought
to be tried, and tried in the State
Courts. Still another class look
upon the act which sent Terry
before his maker as cold-blooded
murder, and they believe that he ought
to be tried and convicted in the State
courts. The HERALD inclines to the
second of these hypothesis, and hopes
that the fair State Of California will
emerge from the ordeal tomorrow with
the concession by the Federal courts that
she has some rights which those tribu-
nails are bound to respect.

A Fire Trap.

ALBANY, September 9.-Fire broke out
on the upper floor of McArdle's nine
story rag and junk warehouse this after
noon. Forty women and girls were en-
ployed. Some of them were cut off by
the dense smoke, and two girls fell from
the third story window and were fatally
hurt. Another is probably fatally
burned. 1t is reported that others were
caught in the building, but nothing can
be learned definitely for several hours.
LATER-Richard Gamble, book-keeper,
went to the top of tie building and, in
an endeavor to avoid the flames, fell
through shaft and was badly cut and
bruised. The inhalation of flames killed
him. Several others received severe in-
juries. Loss, 100000.

A NUMBER of transactions in city real
estate have taken place within the past
ten days which show that centrally To-
Gated property in This city is salable at
the figures which prevailed during the
"boom." This is not to be wondered at,
because such property was at no time
inflated, and actual transactions at the
old figures show that shrewd business
men appreciate that fact and are aware
that an era of investment is at hand.

Shot by His sIandered spouse.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, September John
s. Spaulding, an employee OF the Chesa-
peake, Ohio and Southwestern railway,
was shot tonight by his wife. The couple
had been married for ten years. Three
years ago they separated, but recently
SpauldiDg returned and series of broils
have attended their living together
again. He has frequently slandered her,
and tonight, armed with pistol, she
found him seated in a grocery store and
fred. Spaulding fed into the grocery
store, pursued by his wife, who fred
again. Both bullets took effect, one in
the stomach and the other in the right

ANGELENos have been looking to the
completion of the railway from Salt
Lake to Los Angeles to give them the
cheap and excellent Goals of Southwest
ern Utah. This road will doubtless
reach here within the next eighteen
months, but we shall not be obliged to
wait 80 long as that for cheap fuel. SEN
ator John P. Jones and Mr.. D. o. Mills
own inexhaustible mines OF coal in
Alaska, and they are about to put vessels
on the waters between Alaska and Los
Angeles to supply this section with the
needed fuel. 1t has been estimated. and
our authority for the statement is Sena-
tor Jones himself, that this coal can be
sold here for 81 ton and leave an ample
profit to the mine owners. With an
abundance of good coal at such
low figure, Los Angeles cannot fail to
become a great smelling center. The
country around Owens Lake, Panamint
and Darwin is illinitably rich in smelt-
ing ores, and the Carson and Colorado
Railway is already at Keller. From
Keller to Mojave is distance of one
hundred miles. with no difficulties Of
construction. The day is not distant
when, with cheap transportation and
supplies, the greatest output of smelling
ores ever recorded on this Coast will be
chroricled in this interesting mineral re-
gion, and they will DO smelted at point
in the immediate neig hborhood of Los
Angeles. Manufactures of iron and the
other base metals will also follow this
era Of cheap fuel. All doubts of the An
gelic City's soon becoming great manu-
featuring center is dispelled from the
minds of those who have paid attention
to prospective fuel and railway develop
ments.

LONDON, September 9.-Searle won the
boat race on the Thames with O'Connor.
The race was for 81 900 and the champi-
onship of the world, distance four miles
end three furlongs. O'Connor, the
champion of America, and Searle, of
Australia, started near Hammersmith
bridge. A mile and three quarters from
the start Searle led by two lei gths, and
won by six lengths.
Odds OF five to four were given on
.O'Connor. Searle won the toss for posi-
ton and chose the Surrey side. O'Connor
had the best of the start by half length
to the boa:bcuse. Searle's time was
22 AZ.
There we're occasional squalls of wind
during the progress Of the race, and off
Surrey tie water was slightly .lumpy.
Otherwise the CONDITIONS werd good.
Betting during the forenoon was vir-
tually even at IL to 20 on Searle, and
bats at these figures We're taken rapidly
Finally the odds changed to 5 to against
Searle.
The start was made by mutual consent
at :23, with O'Connor rowing at ter
rife rate. Soon after the start O'Connor
"caught crab," and Searle overlook him
and gained the lead. Searle was
rowing splendidly, but slowed up beyond
Walden's. Searle, apparently with
out effort and rowing twenty-nine
strokes per minute, gained half a
length, which he gradually increased.
O'Connor frequently and anxiously
looked over his shoulder. When Ham
mersmith bridge was reached O'Connor
appeared to be trifs distressed. At
Thornycroft Iron Works both men we're
pulling in good form. A nasty head
wind was blowing. but the water in CHS
wick Reach was not affected. Here
Searle was three lengths ahead. From
Chiswick Point the race was process
sion. O'Connor rowed splendidly
throughout the race. He seemed to have
been overturned, however, for after the
first mile had been rowed he tired away
very quickly. The course was we'll kept.
The attendance of spectators was large
for professional scullirg race.
THE CANUCKs DISAPPOINTED.
TORONTO, Ont, September 9.-The
news of the defeat of O'Coonor on the
Thames fell like a thunderclap here.
O'Connor's easy victory over Teemer,
Gaudaur and other American scullers
had greatly strengthened confidence, and
when O'Connor started for England last
winter, expectations of victory were most
sanguine, 1t is estimated that $4O0, 1000
Canadian money was lost on the race.

and If they get home, their runs certainly
count, as in the case you cite If the foul
fly was muffed. then the ball is not in play
again until the pitcher receives the bail and

rule also covers the foul tip, whether caught

pitcher; lis in play the same as ut any other
stage OF the game.

Emerson was no prig of q boy. He
played hockey. e., ran away from
school-every day for week, and was
so much of boy that when he was
obliged in the role of teacher to say
grace at the boarding house table he
was at his wits end. He laughed, he
looked grave, he said something, no
body knew what, and laughed again, as
il to indemnify himself with the boys
for assuming for one moment the cant
of a man. And yet at home, perhaps,
Robin, (for he tells the story of himself
under this alias) had often said grace
at dinner" There is a fine sense of
hunor in this-a vein that runs all
through his speech and ways as a man,
and which one would hardly suspect
from the depth OF his seriousness as a
writer. He is witty ut the expense Of
the New England nose, and no droller
bit of writing on the subject ofsneezing
