SWEET WINES.
California Viticulturists Are Invited to
Make Suggestions.

When the sweet wine bill was passed,
and it only remained for the secretary
of the interior and the commissioners OF
internal revenue to draft the necessary
regulations covering all points of the
bill, says the San Francisco Chronicle,
the state viticultural commission, recog-
nizing the Importance of the matter to
California wine growers, opened cor
respondence with John w. Mason, the
commissioner of internal revenue, ask
ing that if possible the regulations
should be submitted to the local COM
mission for inspection before they were
adopted. The first answer to this plea
came in the shape of dispatch which
read as follows:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 81.
Charles A. Wetmore, San Francisco, CAL:
How many gallons of sweet wine, in
your judgment, will be produced in the
free brandy for fortifcation from Octo-
once by wire. JOHN w. MASON,
Commissioner.
An answer was Immediately sent, a
copy of which reads as follows:
LIvERMoRE, Nov. 1.
w.
nal Revenue, Washington, D. c.:
Delay in regulations will prevent full
production of sweet wines in California
Best advices indicate that California
will not exceed one million and half
gallons this season: If no opportunity
is given to fortify dry wines to be sweet
ened in the eastern market, eastern pro-
ducers will need to fortify their own
sweet wines, using largely bottled juice
from this state for sweetening. If the
law is strictly construed and enforced 1
think that the total of sweet wines for
the United States to fortify before May
1st will not exceed two million and a
half gallons. A margin for stretching
very sweet ports with dry wines to be
again fortified before leaving the pro-
ducers should be considered. This
might swell the total to three millions.
G. A. WETMoRE.
An advance copy of the regulations
was received at the headquarters of the
commission yesterday, with letter
which asked for suggestions for altera-
tions, and stated that any moderations
desired by California wine-growers
would be gladly considered by the au-
thorities at Washington. At an in
formal meeting held in the afternoon,
Arpad Haraszthy, John T. Doyle, Will
liam H. Sears, the collector OF internal
revenue, and Charles A. Wetmore were
present, and the regulations were read.
1t was found that they were favorable to
the interests of wine-growers and that
the suggestions made by Wetmore in
the dispatch given were made use of in
drafting the rules, but in view of the i'm
portance of the matter it was decided to
hold an executive meeting of the VIII
cultural commission early next week, to
which all the prominent men interested
in sweet wines will be invited, and to
read the regulations to them so as to en-
able all concerned to make any such
proposals of amendments as may sug-
gest themselves to them.

A SHOW OF BLOOMS.
Everything Ready for Great Floral
Display.

The preliminary arrangements Tor the
forthcoming floral exhibition to be held
at Hazards pavilion, under the auspices
of the Southern California Floral society,
are progressing finely. All day yester-
day carpenters were at work, and the
tables for the display of cut flowers and
floral designs are now up in shape. and
fully 1000 receptacles, all of uniform size,
have been secured for the display of the
former. Plants and blooms from the
surrounding towns are already coming
in. and will continue today and all day
tomorrow and Tuesday.
. Not the least interesting will be the
fine display of economic and ornamental
forest trees to be made by State Forester
Lyons OF the state forestry commission,
the principal feature of which will be
fine collection of Australian eucalypti.
The collection of choice hardy and exotic
ornamental plants, from private conser-
vatories and commercial growers will
form an agreeable surprise to the public.
All the space afforded by the pavilion
has already been spoken for, clearly
showing the deep interest that is being
manifested by the growers in the forth
coming lloTdl ulSplty ny tIle prdCIlCdl
gardeners of The six southern counties.
The exhibition will be formally
opened by Governor-elect Markham
Tuesday evening at 8 O'Clock, though
the doors will be open to the public at
7. Judging from present Indications
the exhibition will be the finest of it's
kind ever held in the state, and being
the initial effort of the practical garden
ers in this direction, merits generous
patronage. 1t will not only be an inter
esting exposition of Southern California
Horticulture, but an instructive object
lesson to all interested in the beautify-
ing of our homes and gardens.

A MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING
THE LOVER OF A MARRIED WOMAN
SHOT IN THE BACK.
ant Can Be Found, Although 1t Is
Known That the Former May Die.

On election day shooting scrape took
place in the French quarter of this city.
The matter was never reported to the
police, although the physician who at
tended the wounded man is said to be a
city official. 1t has been the busi-
ness, it would seem, of everybody who
knew any par articulars respecting this at
tempted assassination to bury them in
oblivion. The facts, as far as can be
learned, are as follows: A Frenchman,
who resides in San Bernardino county,
was informed by busybody that his
wife was unfaithfu1 to him. She lives in
Los Angeles, on Also street. The hus-
band Immediately took the train for this
city, even forgetting in his hurry to cast
his vote for Pond in his precinct. He had
put in his pocket, however, five
shooter, with which he promised him.
self to do justice to the despoiler of his
honor.
AS soon as the train stopped at Com
mercial street, he went to the house of
his unfaithful wife, and bursting in the
door of her room, found his suspicious
Enthusiastically confirmed. The lover
and the wife were together, and what
the husband saw left him no room for
doubt.
In his rage he pulled the pistol from
his hip pocket, and discharged two of
the chambers at close quarters upon the
unarmed man, who fell weltering in
his blood. One shot had entered his
side from the back, inficting a wound
which is considered mortal. On Satur-
day night the young mans life was
despaired of, and last night those who
nurse him had again abandoned hope.
The parties who are cognizant of the
facts say that if the victim dies, they
will divulge the whole story, but it is
presumable that the murderer will then
have had ample time to make himself
scarce. The police were informed OF
the facts of the case yesterday after
noon, and the detective department is
working on it now.

Unwilling Movers.


1t is well known fact that many peo-
pie find the last day of April the most
convenient time for moving to their
summer homes at the seashore or in the
country, although the suggestion that
this has anything to do with the rate of
taxation in the two places where they
own houses would undoubtedly be re-
pudiated with scorn by many of the
movers
There are some people, however, who
receive suggestions Of that kind with
half hidden smile, and there are others
actually bold enough to say that they
prefer country taxes to those of the city.
There is one man in New England who
has learned to reduce his taxes to the
lowest possible figure, even at considera-
BILE inconvenience to himself.
He owns farm, which is only remark
able from the fact that it is in two states,
instead Of one. To make the most Of
this peculiar advantage he has built his
house with its south side in one state
and its north side in the other, while the
passer through his front door can have a
foot in each state without the slightest
trouble.
A fence on the opposite side of the
road marks the boundary line. In the
field which it surrounds in one state are
numerous hen houses, large and COM
Portable for their inhabitants. Close to
the fence in the other state is row of
loosely built, untidy looking hen houses,
into which the protesting hens and
chickens are hurried when taxation day
comes around, the secret of the change
being that hens are taxed in one state
and not in the other.-Youth Compan-

Tea Plants of India.

The tea plant grows wild through
these Himalaya hills, and in some of the
regions it attains the dimensions of a
large tree. 1t was probably introduced
from here into China. Still, it is now
only about half century since tea
culture was commenced in India, and
now there are many Indian tea men who
prophesy that Indian tea will eventually
push Chinese tea out of the markets of
the world. Frank q. Carpenters Indian

FIGHT ON AN ENGINE,
The Engineer and Fireman Grapple in
Death Struggle.

he Engineer anu Fireman Crdpp!e IN
Death Struggle.
A fight, to the death, between the en-
gineer and fireman of an express train,
speeding through the country at night,
is bold conception of modern nov
elist.
The fireman is jealous of the engineer;
one night, crazed with drink, he heaps
on fuel until the boiler is likely to ex-
plode. The engineer pleads with him,
then expostulates, and at last attempts
to prevent further addition. Then the
fireman grapples the engineer and tries
to throw him from the engine; terri
Bile struggle ensues. The fight is for
life They speak no word, but with
teeth clenched, strive one to precipitate
the other to the ground.
Meanwhile the train rushes on. The
engineer, finally growing weak, endeav-
ors to reach the regulator, to stop the
train and summon help. Too late! The
crazed fireman guesses his plan, stiffens
himself to a asuperhuman effort, lifts the
exhausted engineer from his feet, ex-
claiming:
"Ah, you want to stop the train !!
NOW, OuC you ~.
With this he fngs the engineer out
but the latter clings to him, he cannot
shake him off, SO both go out together
Drawn under the wheels they were
found headless, two bloody trunks found
in a death embrace! And the train, un-
governed, rushes on in the darkness
Here the story ends; the fate of the
train is left to the imagination. 1t is
easy to see that the chances are hun
dred to one it rushes ON to destruction.
So with the person having chronic kid
ney complaint-it is almost certain to
result in Bright's disease, then death,
for the doctors admit they have no cure
for it. But certain cure may be had.
Note what Sumpter Heard, of Frederick,
Md, says, in letter of May 10, 1890 :
"For five years had been the victim of
Bright's disease, at times suffering the
severest pains. l tried many kidney
remedies, and consulted as many physi-
clans, but was not benefited and at
length became tired ofwhat seemed to be
and was useless expenditure. l be-
gan taking Warmers Safe Cure and was
relieved at once. The old symptoms re-
cur occasionally, but find relief only
with the above remedy, which 1 regard
as the best of proprietary medicines"

PILATES WIFE.
The Distinguished Roman Matron al
.Ierns en-.


Our curiosity is greatly aroused regard
ing Pilates wife. We are told nothing
regarding her in Scripture except what is
mentioned in this one incident Tradi-
ton identifies her as Claudia Procula, and
it has been conjeetured that, bearing such
name, she must have belonged TO the
Claudian famiIy-oue Of the most famous
families in Roman history, whose founder,
Appius CIaudius, was the maktr of the
great Appian Way, and which gave no
less than six Emperors to Rome the En-
peror who was sitting on the throne at the
time of Lord being Tiberius Claudius.
Being thus of high station, it is probable
that it was through her influence that her
husband, Pontius PLATE, was made pro-
curator of Judea, for Pilates own birth
was comparatively humble, seeing that
the name Plate is derived from the cap
which was worn as distinguishing badge
by manrmitted slaves, and the epithet
marks him out as freedman or as de-
scended from one. She accompanied her
husband to Palestine, and it is striking
illustration of the truthfulness of the
Scripture narrative that it was only dur
ing the reign of Tiberius Claudius that
the wife of Roman was allowed to ac-
company her husband to the province
which he ruled.
In early times a law was expressly
passed to prevent a magistrate taking his
wife with him to the sphere of his juris-
diction, let she should NEEDLE with his
administration or unduly influence his
public career And this law was rigor-
ously carried out; but at the time of our
Lord the prohibition had fallen into neg
lect, and though shortly afterward pro-
posal had been made to enforce it, it was
not successful. Perhaps the wife of Plate
had received special permission to ae-
company her husband on account of her
connection with the reigning family; and,
in any case, her presence in Jerusalem at
the time of our Lords judgment indicates
that the relationship between herself and
her husband must have been one of deep
and true affection. Plate, if he had been
an Indifferent husband, might have left
his wife behind at Rome in conformity
with the law of the Empire; and his wife,
if she had been less loving and devoted,
might have remained at C@sarea, which
was the fixed official residence of the Ro-
man Governor and the headquarters of the
Roman army in Palestine, and not have
accompanied him to Jerusalem, to which
he had to go on the annual feast of the
Passover, to preserve order among the
great crowds of pilgrims which at that
time filled the sacred city.

THE poet Browning many years ago
was made an Honorary Fellow of BalIiol
College, Oxford. In his will he remem-
bered the college by leaving to its library
some of his most valuable books, and his
collection was esteemed one of special high
value. Browning was one Of the most
grateful Of men, never forgetting a kind
ness, and cherishing for literary people
the tenderest regard. In that respect he
was model for all men of letters, since he
entertained no jealousy Of his contem-
poraries, and took pride in all literary
successes by his fellows. Something of
the fraternal feeling that distinguished
Browning might well be injected into the
relations and sentiments of writers for the
press in this country, as we'll as the Amer
lean circles of writers generally. 1t is
unfortunately true that in this land the
literary men lave allowed the sharpness
and harshness of rivalry, and the merci-
lessness of trade to creep into and affect
the circles of writers, authors and poets.
1t is rare in this country to find writers
commencing each other, and sympathiz-
ing in one another's trials In England,
on the contrary, such kindly sympathy is
common, and the fraternity of letters is
bound closely together.

Mr.. GLADSTONE is and always has been
a peace advocate. He believes that strong
ornaments are not conservative of peace
sentiments, but only alarm nations and
make them arm against each other. In
short, there is reason to believe that MIR.
Gladstone would favor the disarmament of
allnations, except so far as an armed ocean
revenue coast service is concerned, and
this is reflected in the report that he re-
grets that the United States is building
navy. Unquestionably the highest Office
of craftsmanship is to prevent, not to pro-
mote war; to render armies and navies
unnecessary. 1t is in accord with that
lofty sentiment of humane government
that Mr. Gladstone now announces his
deep regret that the United States
should enter upon naval building But
that distinguished statesman in his strong
advocacy Of peaceful means, oyerlooks the
fact that we have not, as yet, nor has any
other nation reached that ideal when
armies and navies may be wholly dispensed
with. So far as the naval building of the
United States is concerned, it is a very
small affair indeed compared to the naval
strength of other nations, even of some of
the lesser Powers. 1t does not appear
either that he has taken into account that
we have an exceedingly long coast line
touching four oceans, and that compared
to the length of such line, our navy even
under its proposed extension, will not be
sufficient to make ordinary formal vista
lions TO the many coast ports of the
country, to say nothing of voyages to ports
of other nations, where our citizens have
interests and are gratifed by the occasional
presence of naval representatives. Ger
tainly such enlargement as we are making
of our navy ought not excite in any other
Power fear that the American Govern
ment is belligerently inclined, or less the
friend of peace and peaceful methods of
settling difficulties.
