SWEET WINE BILL.
Wfne-Growers of the State Desire the

WfneGrowers of the State Desire the
Regulations Amended.
Since the Sweet Wine Bill was passed the
State ViticuliuraI Commission has worked
actively TO protect the interests Of the wine
producers of California. Last month Secre-
tarY w. Scott and Commissioner c. a. Wet
more wrote to Internal Revenue Commits
sioneT John W. Mason, asking that before
final regulations were issued they be sent
here, so that they could be framed in the in-
teres,s of both small and large wine-grOw-
ers. In his answer Mason asked how many
gallons of sweet wine would be produced in
the United States that would be entitled to
free brandy for fertilization from October
1st to May 81, 1891, and Mr.. WetmOre
answered by telegraph, saying:
A delay In the regulations will prevent the fun
production Of sweet wines IN California. The
best advices Indicate that California will rot eX-
coed SOC, 600 gallons this season. Ii no oppor-
tunity is given TO fortIfy dry wines TO be sweet
enei IN tile Eastern market, The Eastern pro-
ducers Will heed TO fortfy their own sweet
wines, using largely boiled juice from this State
for sweetenlug. III the law is strictly construed
and enforced, | think that The total OF sweet
wines for lie United States To foTtify before May
l, 1891, Will not exceed 100000 gallons. A
margin for stretching very sweet ports with dry
wines 10 be again fortified before leaving the
producers, should be considered. This might
swell the total 10 100000 gallons.
A copy OF the regulations tor sweet-wine
producers was received by the Viticultural
Bureau yesterday, with an Invitation for
suggestions and notifications. Such well
known viticulturists as Arpad Haraszthy,
c. A. Wetmore and John 7. Doyle at once
waited upon Internal Revenue Collector
Sears and inspected the new regulations. 1t
was decided to call a meeting of tue Execu-
tive Committee Of the Viticultural Commits
sion early next week, when prominent wine
growers from various sections of the State
will be present and granted hearing in ref
erence to amending the regulations.

How They Grew GieefuI at a Sight of
Ezra Horror.

How They Grew GEeeful at sight OF
Ezra Horror.
E. J. Glave, one OF Stanley'S companions,
was talking in Chicago hotel the other day
of the horrors of the African slave trade and
the barbarian native customs. This is the
description he gave a Chicago Times re-
porter of a native execution:
An old woman had died the night before.
We were somewhere near the banks of the
Aruwimi. To propitiate the evil spirits, a
captive was tied to stake by means of a
rope Of grass fastened to his hair. The exc
cutioner carried long, fiat, soit-bladed
knife.
At last the supreme moment came. With
a quick, bold stroke The eXecutioBer showed
literally shoyed-the square end in the
neck, turned it first to the right and then TO
the left. Thus severed from the trunk
where, by means of the grass rope, 1t had
been stretched taut as catgut, The head
shot up like a bullet. 4 stream of blood
gushCd upward like fountain under high
pressure, the arms under the muscular ac-
ton tapped up and down like the wings OF
chicken.
But the most horrible sight was that pre-
scented by the severed head. For fully a
minute the eyes rolled hack ana forth in
their orbits, while the jaws worked up and
down, closing at times with the sound Of
sprung steel trap. | could have pulveriZed
the eXecutioner to fine dust But WAS in
Stockadt, with only one man upon whom |
could rely, and over 5000 black cannibal
devils about me.

ONE WAY TO STEAL DIAMONDS.

A Trick That Admits OF the Thief Safely
Submitting to BE Searched.
1t is natural that articles of great value
are objects to temptation. We are prepared
to understand that the common thief Is con-
stantly ScheniDg to gain possession Of
precious stones and jewelry, but 1t is a
matter of surprise TO learn, through stories
that come across the ocean, of the tricks
INDUCED in there by the diamond trade-the
legitimate, everyday dealers in precious
stones. The peculiarly of this condition of
things is that the sharp practice OF dealers
does not involve their reputation or standing,
the thing being looked at as matter of
shreWdness and rather admired as clever
piece of business. An anecd0te Is related TO
illustrate this:
A dealer called upon firm with whom he
was III the habit of trausactng business,
ard asked TO see lot of diamonds After
examining them for some time he returned
the paper, saying he would call again III
reference to buying them. 1t was at once
noticed that large stone was missing. A
haSty search was made, but no trace OF the
diamond being discovered, the dealer, with
out much ado, was accused OF having taken
the brilliant. He indignantly denied the
charge, and submitted without hesitation 10
being searched.
The stone was not found and profuse
apologies were offered for the false accusa-
ton. The following day the dealer ap-
peared again, this time with a paper Of
diamonds to sell, but also with another
object in view, which he took good care not
to disclose A careful observer might have
noticed that while the stones We're being
examined at the light he ran his fingers
along the under surface of the portion of the
counter near which he sat and picked OF
something that stuck to the wood. IL was
nothing more nor less than the diamond
which had SO mysteriously disappeared the
day before. He had fastened it to The
counter by means of piece OF wax with
which he had provided himself, and on the
occasion of lis second visit secured his
booty-JewelerS' Weekly.
