The Claret of California.
New York Sun.

The Sun never spoke of any California clsre'
in terms like those used by the San Francisco
Examiner 1t tells US thing which we had
before heard of. but were unwilling TO men.
ton until We got the proof Of It and this is
that the greatest sinners In the case are GER
tain big wine dealers Of California who load
the claret with salicylic acid till 1t is unfit to
drink, and who, ''buying poor stuff and good
stun indiscriminately, blend and fake and
sophisticate them for tho Eastern Market
meanwhile selling this fraudulent claret at
far more than its proper price. 1t Is unpleas-
ant news. We do not believe that The Exam
iner would unnecessarily scare the consumers
OF any of the California clarots sent here but
we would not be surprised IL some of the con-
sumers were TO got scared at its words. They
ought hereafter to be very careful about the
claret they may buy. 1t would be we'll for
the Wholesale dealers to have every barrel
tested by trustworthy chemical expert In
wines, and to affix a certificate of genuine
ness and sound quality to every bottle that
they may sell TO thoir customers. Otherwise.
the trade here will bo endangered. As The
Examiner says, the truth in matter of this
kind ought to be spoken with perfect plain
ness.
NO believe that plenty Of unadulterated
ciaret' honest and excellent of Its kind, is
made In California, and sold there at a fair
price But We are also forced to believe that.
within year or two, much over-doctored and
unwholesome claret has been sent out Of the
State and disposed of in this part Of the coun.
try. There must be an end to this kind Of
thing. The big wine fakirs of san Francisco,
who fake the claret for Eastern consumption,
will bring ruin upon the wine trade of Cali.

DISMISSED THE LIBEL.
Judge Nelson Files Decision in
Admiralty.

Admiralty.
An interesting decision in admiralty
has been filed by Judge Nelson in the
case OF 1nman VS.. The Steam Tug
Llndrup, plying on Lake Superior.
The vessel was seized under a libel By
the United States marshal of Mime
sofa, who made return that he had
seized her ''in the open waters of Lake
Superior, about 5000 feet from the pier
at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. On
motion to discharge the tug for want
of jurisdiction, Judge Williams held
that the court had jurisdiction because
the seizure was made in the open
waters of Lake Superior
1t was thereafter shown by testimony
that the tug was seized Sunday, July
10, 1894 at a point in the ST. Mary's
river not more than 5000 feet west
ward of the south pier light at St.
Mary's river canal 1t was claimed
that the marshaPs return was con-
elusive and could not be impeached:
also that the question of Jurisdiction
was res adjudicata.
Judge Nelson holds that Judge Will
Jams merely passed upon the point
that a vessel seized in the open waters
of Lake Superior was within the juris-
diction of the district of Minnesota,
and that the present question is not
res adjudicata; further, that the state
ment in the return of the marshal as to
the point indicated being within the
open waters of Lake Superior, was a
conclusion which the marshal had no
authority to find, and precludes the
claimant from showing to the contrary,
and that as the actual point of seizure
may be either in the state Of Michi-
gan or Canada, this report has no juris-
diction. The libel is dismissed, each
party to pay the costs incurred by it.

SUMMER SCHOOLS.
for Positions as
Teachers Pouring In.

Teachers Pouring In.
State Superintendent Pendergast is
aheady flooded with applications for
positions as instructors for the summer
training schools and teachers insti-
tutes in this state nextyear. Only
about two hundred will be needed and
there are already seven applications on
file for every place to be filled.
In this work Minnesota stands at the
head of the list of states. She was
the first to put this idea of summer
schools for teachers into wide practice
and the first to learn of the immense
states are now beginning to fall into
line, but in none of them is the sys-
tenn as fully developed and in as per-
feet operation as in Minnesota. Last
h summer about seven thousand teach
ers attended these schools, and the
amount of good resulting directly to
1.-THE boys and girls of the state nobody
is able to estimate.
=, In making selections for next year
preference will be given to those who
have been giving this instruction in the
past, and it may be that the list of old
instructors will be large enough to
fully take care of the needs of the COM
ing year. But # there are not enough
of these old instructors with good rec
ords to fill the list, then the new appli-
cations will be fallen back upon. Thus
only a very small number of new in
+ structors can hope to get places.
Shortly after the first of the year the
Issuperin tendent will make up the list
f4of instructors, including a reserve list
| for use in case the summer schools go
beyond the estimates in number and at
( tendance. In d few days a circular let
Eter will be- sent to the county superin-
t! tendents of the state asking if they
desire these schools for next summer.
1t is assumed that the answers will be
in the affirmative. Then will come the
point Of attendance. The law provides
that each school shall contain about
sixty persons, and if the number in a
county will not reach sixty that coun-
ty must combine with some other
county. To each school Of sixty six
teachers are allowed.

pIGHA LANDS THEM.
DEPUTY SHERIFF BRINGS AN
ELY FIRM TO ST.
PAUL. .,tf ga h1
BOTH ARE UNDER ARREST.
Nj. KAUFMAN AND ID. B. YEZNER
CHARGED WITH OBTAINING
GOODS FRAUDULENTLY.
THE CREDITORS GOT SUSPICIOUS
Gniterman Bros. Accuse Them of
CrOOkedness-0the Firms
Sold Them Goods.

NJ. Kaufman and David B. Yez-
ner, comprising the firm of Kaufman
& Yezner, at Ely, Mimi, spent last
night in the Ramsey county jail
They were brought down from Ely
by Deputy Sheriff Picha, who ar
rested them on a complaint charg-
ing them with obtaining goods un-
der false pretenses. The particular
firm by whom they are charged with
crooked dealings is that of Gutter
man Bros, clothing dealers at Sfb-
ley and East Fifth streets; but it is
said that a number of other mer-
chants of Minneapolis and st. Paul
have the same grounds for COM
plant as have Guiterman Bros.
A few days ago several st. Paul
merchants came to believe that the
Ely firm was not doing business
right, and they laid the facts before
the county attorney, with the result
that Deputy Sheriff Picha was sent
to Ely to make the arrests. 1t is al
legged that the two arrested are en-
gagged in an effort to Systematically
swindle merchants out of goods.
These two came to st. Paul in Sep
tember and represented that they
were conducting a prosperous busi-
ness at Ely, making statements of
their financial standing. The result
was that various firms here sold
them large quantities of goods, Cult
ernlan Bros, Kellogg, Johnson & Co..
Sommers & Co. ,McKibbin and others
being among those from whom the
largest purchases were made. They
also, it is alleged. bought goods from
Minneapolis jobbers on like repre-
Sentations.
Recently the merchants became
suspicious that all was notright with
these people, and they caused an in
vestigation to be made, with the re-
suit, it is said, that only small part
Of the goods purchased were found.
1t has been learned that much of the
stock was shipped to Virginia, MINI.
The stock at Ely, according to the
report, is worth about $1,000, and
the books show accounts amounting
to $1,000 more. According. to the
statements made to the merchants
here when the goods were bought,
the assets of the firm were SO, 100
Deputy Sheriff Picha went to Ely
Thursday evening. He found Kauf-
man in one of the village saloons
and Yezner at a lodge meeting.
The protested their innocence when
arrested, and tried to persuade Picha
to allow them to remain at the ho-
tel during the night This, however,
he refused to do, and they were
| placed in the village lookup.
They are young men. Kaufman was
at one time a resident of st. Paul.
and the wives of both men have
been living here. They embarked
in their business career. at Ely in
May, 1895. 1t is said the matter will
be laid before the grand jury next
week.

BATTERY A MATTERS.
Two Members Reprimanded, One
OrODped From the List.


Privates Louis J. Sullivan and Henry
Peters, of Battery "a" First Artillery
N. G.. S. NJ, have been sentenced to
be reprinanded by the proper author
ity, while Andrew Wingard is dis
charged for the good of the service
The above news was promulgated at
the Armory last night, it being regular
drill night for Battery A, and came
from Maj. Libbey at battalion head
quarters, he having been served a day
or two ago with the findings of the
court martial, convened a week ago to
try the men who are charged by Capt.
Appleby with repeated absence from
drill. In the case of the two first
named the findings set forth that the
men are fortunate to be so leniently
dealt with, inasmuch as their offense
is stated to be highly subversive of all
military discipline. The publicity of
the case is considered sufficient repri-
mand in these two cases. Wingard,
whose residence is so remote as to
prevent his attending drill in the future
is simply dropped from the roster.
Capt. Appleby conducted drill with
goodly proportion of the membership
present and says that the feeling in
the battery IFS improving weekly.
Capt. Kinney, of Company C., Third
Regiment Wisconsin National Guard
stationed at HUDSON. was a visitor at
drill
After the drill Maj. Price of the First
battalion, First regiment, and Lieut..
Finehout, appeared before the men,
bers and outlined the plan for the for
nation of the national guard carnival
club. Maj. Price explained that the
club will consist of about 200 members
of the national guard recruited from
the four companies in St. Paul, the
company Of the Third regiment at Mer-
riam Park and Battery A, and there
| will be no company line drawn but that
the officers will be elected by the rank
and file of the members.
The organization will be neatly uni
| formed, the design to be decided upon
| in the near future, and will carry torch

CAPT. CASTLE DEMURs.
Saws ST. Paul Needs More Carriers
Than 1t Has.

A dispatch from washington re-
caived Yesterday says: "First as
sistant Postmaster General Jones is
of the opinion that both Minneapolis
and st. Paul people can have their
mail delivered to them just as prompt
lv as at present with a less number
of carriers than are now being paid
bv the government. In view of this be-
lief he has ordered that an investiga-
ton of these offices be made, using the
renorts of inspectors who were in those
cities recently as a basis for reduc-
tions.
There are at present Ill carriers in
MINNEAPOLIS and ninety-three in st.
Paul. and Mr.. Jones thinks this num-
her can be materially reduced without
impairing the efficiency of the service.
In doing this he is following out the
policy inaugurated by him at the intro
duction of the spy system. He claims
that it is his duty to save as much
money for the government as possible.
The investigation will not take place,
however, until after Jan. 1, so that all
carriers in Minneapolis and st. Paul
are good for another month in Uncle
| Sans service.
| Superintendent of Free Delivery Ma
chen today to secure the establishment
of a free delivery service at Austin,
Minn No definite promise was made,
but the matter will be laid before the
| first assistant postmaster general upon
his return from Illinois, where he has
| gone on a visit to his parents"
Postmaster Castle, when seen last
night, did not agree with Assistant
| Postmaster General Jones, that the
| number of letter carriers in st. Paul
| can be reduced without .impairing the
efficiency of the service. Capt. Castle
| said:
"Our present force is none too large.
In fact, we need more men to properly
cover the territory. AS it is now,
| whenever there is a press of business
in the central districts, as there often
| is, I am obliged to- call in the men
| from the outlying districts in order to
supply the demand. No, sir, the force
| of carriers cannot. be reduced without
| impairing the service"

sTRAUCH LOSES AGAIN.
Another Jury Decides He Charged
Too Much Interest.

J. L. Strauch, the money loaner,
seems to be out of luck these days, two
juries in the district court having,
within the past two days, declared in
effect that he charged usurious rates
of interest and was entitled to moth
ing in return for the money loaned.
The facts in the first case were pub
lished in yesterdays G o e, and
the second one was decided yesterday.
1t was an action in which Michael
Crowley was plaintiff and Strauch de-
fendant. According to the evidence
and verdict, Strauch loaned Crowley
$15, and charged him interest at the
rate of 10 per cent month. Crowley
continued to pay the interest monthly
for time, and when he finally was
unable to pay longer, Strauch took
lot of furniture on which he held a
chattel mortgage as security. Crowley
brought suit to recover $3.50 damages,
setting up that the transaction was
usurious and therefore the seizure un-
lawful. The jury gave him verdict

REPORT Concerning n st. Paul
- Firm Is Denied. a,l

- Firm Is Denied. y
1t has been reported in labor circles
during the last few days that the firm
of Foot, Schulze & Co., boot and shoe
manufacturers at 233-2S7 East Third
street, would soon close down their
establishment for the winter, this being
neces,sitated by the surplus OF stock
now in the markets. A G o b re-
porter yesterday called upon Silas b.
Foot, who stated, when asked con-
cerning the report, that there was no
truth in it. II had heard nothing or
it," said he, until now. and can not
imagine in what way it was Sarted.
We always close down during the holi-
days in order to do our invoicing and
give the employees a little vacation.
We will do the same this year, but will
resume work with our entire force of
hands the first week of January" Mr..
Foot was shown the following clipping
from the Eight Hour Herald:
Owing to the shutdown of the 100
tanneries represented in the United
States Leather company, of New York,
upward of 5000 laborers, tanners,
clerks and other employees, are thrown
to continue for sixty days, and was or
dered solely for the purpose of boom
ing prices. This will be regarded as
business tact, but If the workmen shut
up the factories for that length Of
time it would be termed anarchy
When he had read it he laughed
heartily and said: at is quite evident
that the fellow who wrote that is
very ignorant of the tannery business.
why, the process is such that they
can not possibly close down in less
than four months without very serious
loss l know considerable about the
