have welcomed their TeutOnic brethren in
San Francisco. Two years ago an attempt
was made, with sufficiently pronounced

is not wonderful, under the circumstances,
that THE CALL correspondent finds himself
writing this letter on the top of piano in
the pari0r with six beds packed behind him
and the balance of the free space pre-
occupied by travellers valises.
One thing is very notable about the pres
eut gathering in general and st. Helena in
particular. There is no rapaeious extoT-
ton Oh the part Of hotel-keepers, and no
disposition to make night hideous among
the guests. 1t Is quite certain, too, that the
wine interest is compatible with sobriety.
ST. Helena has one of the largest wine-cel-
lars in the State, with storage capacity of
100000 gallons. Yet there is no rarer sight
In the tOwn than a drunken man. This ex-
