WINE, WINE, WINE!
Facts That Are Very Interesting.
From the PHILADELPHIA Press.l


[From tho Philadelphia Press.l
A report issued not long since by the bu-
reau Of statistics raises question of good
deal of interest in these days when, ct many
q dinner table, wine bottles with foreign
labels are emptied and drunk by men who
know, or consider it necessary to act as if
they knew, good wine from bad.
With most Insignificant exceptions, the
wine drunk at hotels, In fashionable restaur-
ants, at clubs, and at private tables is
foreign, or pretends to be foreign. Few
wine lists have American wines on them, and
if they are noted they take up an insignif-
icant space on the card. Here and there
American wines are DIR unk, and their use In
steadily and sensibly increasing, but, SO far
az labels 60, American vintaRes constitute an
Insignificant proportion.
Now the curious fact, to which We desire
to direct tho attention of American wine
drinkers, ia that the actual consumption of
fifty years ago. Tho importation of foreign
wine in 1910 and in 1888 were as follows:
1640. 7z6, ,662 gallons

The figures, as will be seen, are almost ex.
actly the same for both years. In forty eight
years the national capacity for foreign wines
had not altered perceptibly. Everything

The avenues of employment for women arc

latest is female collector. At least .
dozen houses in Kansas City are employ
ing women in this capacity, and their
number seems to be constantly increasing.
A woman may be q bookkeeper or q type

ness. One thing is certain, one cannot kick
q lady collector out of the Office.
The female collectors are for the most part
young women, and, according to their en-
ployment, they are as persistent and as sue
cessful in their business as men. Their
mode of operation, however, is somewhat Pc
culiar, and they do not seem to 60 about the
collection of bill the same way as a man.
A reporter happened in an Office yesterday
whore fifteen or twenty young women were
working. While he was talking with the
manager, q we'll dressed young woman
walked in and inquired for one of the young
men. He was pointed out to her, and while
the whole Office watched her she walked
over to his desk and began a conversation
with him in a tone so low that no one
could hear. After talking for few mo-
ments she turned to go, and, raising her
voice, said:
''If you don't come in and settle I'll be
around again on Saturday"
When she was gone the young man came
in for an unmerciful guying, and it ia safe
to say he made desperate effort to pay the
bill before Saturday. She was the collector

A Nervy woman,s Escape From an
Assailant Through Knowing How
to Shoot.
IFrom the Portland oregonian.l
Near Cottage Grove, Lane county, last
Tuesday morning, Marion P. Martien, an old
pioneer Of that section, attempted to assault
Mrs. Margaret Taylor and was shot dead by
her. Immediately after the deed Mrs. Taylor
went to Cottage Grove and surrendered her.
self to J. G. Stoufer, justice of the peace,
who went to the scene of the killing and
held an inquest. The circumstances of the
homicide are best understood from the
sworn statement of Mrs. Taylor, as given be-
fore the coroner's jury:
''Marion P. Martin came to my house this
forenoon about Q O'Clock, and came in the
front door of the citing room. The door
was open and was alone in the house.
Martin asked where my husband was. I
told him he had gone to Mr.. Whites to work.
Martin commenced to talk about making ar
rangements with me for his visits when my
husband was gone. told him there would
be no arrangements made. told him to
leave or would tell my husband. He then
told me he was not afraid of my husband
and was going to do as he pleased. I told
him he had best let me alone, and that he
should not touch me. He then caught hold
of me and held me a little bit before !, could
break lose from him; this was in the front
room.
''I ran through the kitchen to the back
bedroom and picked up revolver that lay
on the bureau as I went in the room. He
followed me and caught hold of me and
pushed me into the corner Of the room by
the window. He then took hold of me by
reaching around me, and raised the revol-
yer in my right hand around under his arm
and back of his shoulder and shot him. he
fell forward on the bed and commenced to
move his feet, and fearing had missed him
I shot him again until was satisfied he was
killed."
The jury returned verdict in accordance
with the facts, and Immediately afterward
Mrs. Taylor was discharged from custody,
her plea Of self-defence being considered well
founded and the attack made upon her by
Martin a full justification for the killing.
Marion P. Martin was a pioneer of the
Willamette valley, and about seventy years
old. he leaves family of grown children.
There is no doubt of his guilt or of the
exact truth of the confession. Eleven
months ago he misused his wife, who conn.,
mitted suicide on account of his misconduct.
Mrs. Taylor is small woman and weakly,
but with good deal of determination, and
gave her evidence freely and was anxious to
make all the matters clear. She has lived in

We sadly fear the wine seller long since
found 1t out to his profit. The total con-
sumption Of wine in this country has grown
seven and one.half fold since 1910, which is
about the increase one would expect. It has
grown skiold since 1850, three and third
since 1850, and tripled since 1870. This ID
the increase one would anticipate, all things
considered. But our consumption of for
eign wines has not grown since 164O, ts two
thirds that of 1850, and one-haf that in
1850 and 1870. This one would not expect
judging from the labels.
We commend these indubitable facts to
wine drinkers, particularly those wise and
experienced drinkers who know all abont it
and have trained tastes on wine. One bottle
out of eight Of the wine drunk here is for
eizn-no more and rather less. The rest is
native or manufactured.

SAVED BY A CAROLINA GIRL.
&C Narrow Escape of Passenger Train
Near AuRuKtu.


Last Friday evening the passenger,
,sAln Of the Port Royal and Western
Carolina Railroad. which left Augusta
Tor AurcnS,ca near being wrecked.
and the passengers wCrC saved from
a horrible and untimcly death. The
trouble was a broken rail ut White
House, about thirty weight miles above
Augusta, which the train was only
prevented from passing over by the
brave acV Of Miss GaInctt, IL Young
woman who lives near White House.
Miss Galnett discovered the broken
rail and she knew it was about tim5
for the up-train to come along, and
she was greatly %alarmcd, knowing
that it was sure destruction if the
train passed that fatal spot. The ONLY
thing to be done was to stop the train
before it could reach the broken rail.
Down the track, around the curve.
Miss GarnCtt ran until she got several
hundred yards from the broken rail
There she stationed herself on the
track. with W0tchtul eye and lantern
III hand, and she commenced waving
the lantern rs soon as the shill
whistle Of the locomotive sounded it's
approach.
When the train rolling over the
rails the engineer saw the young lady
from distance on the track signal
ling him down as though in distress.
The engineer checked up his train
and stopped when he reached the
brave girl. Miss Garmctt called the
engineer and warned him of the dan
ger that was just ahead. The crew
of the tram walked mp the track and
4he broken rail was pointed out All
agreed that Miss CNrnctt had saved
their lives and prevented a wreck.
A collection was taken up among The
passengers, who were told of their
marrow escape, and the SUN Of eleven
dollars was raised and presented by
Conductor Stuart to Miss Galnctt.

An UnluCIly Scat.

General Reagan is the "hoodoo" of
the Senate. The average Senator
would as soon sit at table with thir-
teen as TO allow Reagan to occupy
his seat, even for few days. The
occupant of every seat ne has ever
''sQuattcd' in has been defeated, as
was the case last year Of Senator
Salisbury, Senator Eustis and others
whose seats he laid claims to
during their absence When Sena-
tor Ransom, o. North Carolina, went
home last summer to enter the fight
for re election he so much feared the
effect of the Texan occupying his scat
that he had his chair removed from
the Senate chamber before leaving
and gave strict instructions to the
officers not to replace it until he re
turned. Senator Ransom attributes
his reelection to the fact that Rca-
gan was kept out of his seat during
bis absence.
