Tho wine in Switzerland Is left in the
casks till the following spring, and it is
hero that fermentation takes place and the
mout is converted into wine. The change
begins almost Immediately; the liquid be-
comes turbid, carbonic acid gas is evolved,
a scum is thrown up on tho surface, and
tho temperature rises A climax is reached
the intensity of the fermentation dimin-
ishcs, subsidies; the scum settles as Il Shiny
deposit Mt the bottom Of the cask, and a
clear yellow liquid is left above. The grape
sugar has almost entirely disappeared a
corresponding amount of alcohol has taken
it's place, and the sweet taste of the mout
has given place to the characteristic vinous
flavor of the wine.
In the early stages of fermentation enor-
nous quantities of carbonic acid gas are
given off, and huge fires are made in the
cellars to drive it away. But mt tho time
write Of October 1893, when the vintage
was the finest of the century, when barrels
to hold the mout could not be purchased
for lovo or money, when every cellar on
the lake, from Geneva to Nillencuve, was
packed with casks of mout so great was
tho amount of carbonic acid gas in the air
that, in spite of every prccaution, several
deaths from sutfocation took place among
the workers. In the spring the wine is
drawn off clear into other barrels, then
bottled. Vim ordinaire is not bottled at
all, but simply drawn from tho wood.
This is the wine sold at all tho little wine
shops with which Switzerland abounds.
1t Is drawn off into quaint little glass de-
canters containing half II liter each and

CALLING THE Meeting.
President Kent and the Western Base Ball
Association.

Association.
Secretary McHugh, of the Rock
Island-Moline base ball club. has a
letter and a telegram from President
Kent. of the Western Base Ball asso-
cation, which indicate that while he
is seeking to have a meeting of the
Western Base Ball association to act
on Rock Islands plea for hearing on
its shameful expulsion. there is a
strong protest from many of the
clubs. AS this spirit merely shows a
conspiracy, reckless disregard for
fairness toward one of the original
cities of the league. purpose to keep
Rock Island out of its rights, Presi-
dent Kent should. in a spirit of JUS
tice to himself as well as to Rock ISL
and, call the meeting anyway.
The Feeling In the West.
The Omaha Bee publishes state
ment of the Western association base
ball revenues showing that the Rock
IslandMoline gate receipts were
$1,000 greater than those at Quincy
and $500 over those at Jackson
vile. The Bee thinks that Jackson
vile and Quincy should be substi-
tuted bv Rock Island-Moline and
Sioux City. The Omaha Herald is
even more outspoken than the Bee
in favor of the restoration of the
Rock Island-Molines to a place in the
league. 1t pronounces their dis
reimbursement "a blot on the records
of the association" 1t also adds:
ITO disfranchise the pennant winner
of the previous year-one of the
original towns-where all indebted
ness had been paid promptly, and
where the people were anxious for a
membership, is shame and an out
rage"
The Rock Island d-Moline club does
not seek the disfranchisement =,
either Quincy or Jacksonville, al
though it has been a better club for
the league than either of these, and
there has been a great deal of unwar-
ranted newspaper discussion on this
point. Rock Island merely wants its
old place back. 1t insists that a
grievous and underhanded wrong
has been done it, and if the Western
association continues to withhold its
consent to meeting to right that
wrong it will show that it was will
fully and maliciously done. and that
the course is still upheld by all con-
nected with the Western association.
