THE SWEET-WINE BILL.
A Private Telegram Announces Its
Passage.

M. R. Higgins, the secretary of the
Viticultural league, yesterday received
a telegram from Representative Nc
Kenna, in Washington, announcing that
the sweet-wine bill had passed the house.
1t appears that it was included in the
Mckinley tariff bill, having been tackled
on shortly before the vote was taken.
AS the bill has already passed the SEN
ate on one occasion, it is believed that
no difficulty will be experienced in
getting it through second time, and it
now stands an excellent chance of be-
coming law. The wine men of this
vicinity were much pleased at the sue
cess of the measure. 1t provides for
free grape spirits to be used in the forti-
flying of sweet wines.

CLOSED DOORS.
A Novel Ruling Made Recently by a
Soledad Justice.

According to the stories that are going
the rounds, the full letter of the law is
being carried out in the Justices court
in the Soledad township. A blacksmith
was elected justice of the peace and his
partner the constable of the township.
For time the justice of the peace held
court in the blacksmith shop, stopping
his work whenever a case was brought
before him. Not long ago the partner
ship between the justice and the con-
stable was dissolved, and the court was
moved to barn not far away.
When the court was moved the JUS
tice gave notice that hereafter he in
tended to have his court conducted on
strictly legal basis, and he instructed the
constable to open court every morning
in the form prescribed by the rules of
the higher courts.
The residents of the vicinity every
morning thereafter listened to the
melodious voice of the constable as he
cried in front of the barn:
"Hear vel Hear ye! Hear ye! The
Justices court in and for the town
ship of Soledad is now open
and ready for business. Come
into court all we that have bust
ness before the Justices court, in and
for the township of Soledad."
A few days ago an ordinary mis-
demeanor case was on trial before the
justice. The day turned out windy, and
the breezes blew through the open doors
and windows.
The constable observing the turbulent
state of the atmosphere, carefully closed
the doors and then the windows, and
was about to take his seat, when the
justice stopped the proceedings and said:
'Mr. Constable. This is not one of
the cases which the law says may be
held with closed doors. Open the
DOORS"
The doors were opened, the lawyers
smiled, and the wind blew through the
iustice's whiskers

Cucumber and Elder Flower Cream.

Every lady does not require Face Bleach, but
every lady does require something to cleanse,
soften and purify the skin, more especially
where soft water is not procurable Soap and
water scarcely remove the impurities from the
surface of the SKIN, and never penetrate and
cleanse the pores as thoroughly as do emol-
lients. Some very eminent dermatologists go
so far as to declare that women should never
apply soap and water to the face if they wish to
preserve their youthful appearance. Cucumber
and Elder Flower Cream contains all the cleans
ing and purifying qualities possible; it also
makes the skin beautifully soft, pure and of a
satin-like texture and bloom, and keeps it free
from wrinkles 1t is composed of milk of al
monds, cucumber juice and elder flower extract,
and contains no vaseline, animal fat, glycerine
or other substance which would darken or
wither the skin, or cause growth of hair on
the face.
