They Are Meeting With Much Favor I'm
European Countries.
WASHINGTON, Sept. ~. The state de-
partment has very encouraging ac-
connts of the growth of consumption
and increased favor OF American wines
abroad. A catalogue received from a
prominent wine dealer In London. gives
a list of places In England where Cali
fornia wines are sold. The list includes
some of the leading hotels and clubs in
London. A member or this firm was
sent to the worlds fair by the British
government. to report on American
wines. This gentleman when in this
country, called upon @. w. Hill, chief
of the division of records and editing
at the department. Of agriculture, and
expressed his amazement that it was
difficult to get American wines at lead
ing hotels in this country, and that
American hotel keepers and wine deal
ers were inclined TO discredit these ma
tive products.
Future Dependence on California.
This Englishman also expressed the
opinion that the dependence Of the
world in the future, for brandy or
grapes, would have to be on this coun-
try. During the year the German mill
tary authorities have contracted for the
military supply of brandy with Califor-
mia companies The order Iii for nearly
200, 900 gallons. California wines are
also beginning to attract attention in

MUM. Delegates were standing on
chairs, crowding the aisles, pushing
towards the platform and yelling them
selves hoarse. tossing hats and canes in
the air, and shouting "Hill," "Hin.
Senator Hill stood pounding the gavel,
his face pale and his lips shut. He
hammered vigorously but as he did so
the din Increased.
Three cheers for the next governor
of the state, shouted d man at the
rear, and up went mighty shout.
After five minutes Of the remarkable
scene, there was some order restored,
and Senator Hill said:

THE FAKIR OF & Y
He Walks in Ether Hundreds OF
Feet Above the Earth.

Charles Harkinson, the well known
manager and actor. who has travedll-
ed all over Asia, Africa and Europe,
tells the following wonderful story Of a
Fahyah magician, who walked right
straight up through the air to a height
of several hundred feet:
THE Fahyahs are the greatest NEGRO
mancers, hypnotists and magicians of
the world, and are supposed to be de-
s%cendants of the old school of mijas of
biblical lore.
One of their principal feats is that of
walking upward through the air to a con-
siderable height. The Fahyah who per-
forms this startling feat first lies fiat
on the earth, face downward, for a min
ute or a minute and a half. He then
rises quickly and, placing his arms
tightly against his sides, deliberately
walks right upward into the air as high
as his powers of endurance will permit.
When strength is exhausted by treading
thin ether, he simply stops usually a
height from 250 to 400 feet, waves his
arms wildly a time or two and then be-
gins the descent. One who sees this
startling feat performed will agree with
me that it is a difficult matter to be-
lieve ones eyes, and shake off the idea
that a miracle has not been enacted
"One who was not satisfied with the
air walking feat may hold a coin in
his hand while Fahyah mutters over it
and then open his fingers and find the
coin gone and a serpent in its place.
