Chicago. June 16.-Eugene v. Debs
was cheered to the echo as he stepped
on the platform in Handel hall yester-
DAY. w. E. Burns called the meeting to
order and introduced Andrew Adair, of
the typographical union, as chairman.
On the platform were a number of other
labor leaders Of note, as well as Mrs.
Corrinne Brown. Mrs. Cora Biddleston,
Mrs. Kate Kavanaugh, Mrs. Bessie Wolf
and other women who have been promi-
nent in the causes of labor and free sill.
yer. In substance Debs said: "The wage
system is essentially slavery. BY it men
are driven to suicide, crime, degradation,
starvation and all other ills which aff1ict
the race OF men. Millions are suffering.
Something must be done. The time is
ripe. Confidence seems to have taken
wings and flown away" Debs then pro-
ceeded to unfold his plan Of socialistic
colonization. Andrew Adair spoke
briefly. ''The money given in charity"
he said. would, If applied in this cause,
furnish employment to twice the num-
ber." This was the beginning Of the
great socialistic movement headed
by Debs and others.
Great Is the Omnipresent Bike.
The next speaker was Professor Frank
Parsons. and he said that the ally of So

most unique argument advanced at the
meeting at which sprung into being the
new propaganda which Eugene v. Debs
Professor Parsons. Myron w. Reed, Ed
ward Bethany and others hope will con-
vert this country from a republic into a
socialistic commune.
Some Criticism and Revilement.
The American Railway Union invited
the world to Join with it, and enough Of
the world arrived to pack Handel hall.
The outline Of the new scheme was un-
folded and It received an enthusiastic
reception. Debs, Professor Parsons and
Andrew Adair were the speakers. The
church was criticised. The wage sys-
tenn ard monopolies were denounced.
Judge Grosscup was reviled, and the
name of Charles T. Yerkes was Kissed
as criminal. There now exists no doubt
that the A. r. U. and it's coadtutors will
work together to carry the socialistic
colonization plan TO a successful ISSUE
The sentiment of the meeting was unan-

tive Commonwealth is. ready to unite
with the American Railway Union, and

ton. rendered its cooperation.

The exports of California wines by sea
in August were as follows:
Total. 625 244l55 s77.o2s

Thus it will readily be seen that the
vintage everywhere. reported is of good
volume, and there is every prospect that
the Eastern demand will be larger than
last year. Those who have been inter-
ested in advancing the cause of Califor-
MIA wines in the East say that 1t is the
general experience that when people use
the product for a while they ask for
nothing else. Grape-growing and wine
making have become so identified with
this State that they are almost synony-
nous with the name California. In every
part of the East inquirers for California
lands ask whether they are fit for the
growing of grapes, and each year adds to
the interest in the industry. For these
and other reasons vineyardists feel en-
couraged over the outlook for good vint-
age.

A GOOD YEAR
FOR GRAPES
Prospects for Large Vint-
ages in All Parts of
the State.
Reports Show a Good Quality of
Fruit and Freedom From
Disease.
An Industry That Is Synonymous
With the Name of California in
the East and Abroad.

There is feeling OF satisfaction among
wine-growers all over the State because oil
the magnificent crop prospects for the
year. 1t is a difficult task to determine
just what the crop will be this year, but
the most conservative estimates place it
far higher than the usual output.
The most careful estimate yet promul-
gated was compiled few weeks ago by
the Wine and Spirit Review of this city,
and the figures show large yield all over
the country. The following questions
were propounded TO growers all over the
State, and the replies from all sections
show a most favorable outlook:
Is the wine grape crop in your section good,
bad or indifferent?
Has it been affected by disease or heat to
any extentf If so what2
What is the expected average yield per acre
in tons?
What is the prospect as to quality?
What prices are being paid for grapes?
Have the cellars sufficient coopeIage to
handle the crops?
Replies have already been received from
scores OF large vlneyardists all over the
State, and ali are encouraging. Good
cheer comes from the following counties
in particular: Sonoma, Napa, Contra
Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Joaquin
and Fresno. The tenor of all the letters
Is faVOraDle, ana there Is q general feeling
that the importance of the wine industry
is now such as to attract general attention
all over the United States. 1t is believed
that the revival OF good times in the East
is sue b as to enable thousands of former
consumers OF wine who have been forced
to quit using it to begin again. thereby
making a demand for the California
product.
With all the good news about crops the
question of prices is largely unsettled
For example. in the Napa Valley $40 per
ron is being offered, and 81 per ton more
for each cent the wine sells for over 10
cents per gallon. In the Livermore Val
ley big prices have been paid for the
choicest varieties, but the commoner
grades will probably go at the same figure
as else here.
The importance of the grape crop to the
people OF the State cannot be fully under-
stood until there is a review of the figures.
The subjoined tables show the shipments
for July and August.
The total exports of California wine by
sea and rail in July were as follows:

A HOME REMEDY
For the Cure of Colds and La
Grippe.

La grippe aud influenza, cold in the
head or on the lungs, are not only dis
tressing maladies, but are very dan
gerous as well. Gold on the chest is
an inflammation affecting the air-pass-
ages aud vessels leading into and
through every portion of the lungs.
The inflammation may be so violent as
to cause death In short time if not
quickly reduced, or it may linger and
drag as bad cold of more or less
severity. What is true of cold is
equally true of la grippe. Even a
mild condition is liable to tnrn quickly
into acute pneumonia, or what is
worse, galloping consumption. The
breathing tubes become so sensitive
that the least exposure, the slightest
draught, change of clothing or of the
weather, is sufficient to cause fresh
cold, terrible cough, pain and fever.
Cough is the foremost sy mptom, and
it may be harsh and dry or loose and
broken with much expectoration. 1t
is always annoying, keeping up a
constant irritation and excitement in
the sore and inftamed tubes, There
is pain and tenderness under the
breast-bone, sometimes of raw and
taring nature. Hoarseness and hus-
kiness, whispering or loss of voice,
chilly sensations, soar throat, aching
Joints and catarrh of the head. AS
the disease advances there are night
sweats, hectic fever, lose of flesh
splitting of blood or hemorrhage, add
the patient has the appearance and
symptoms OF consumption. The old
way of treating cold is too well
known to need any explanation here
the new way-the better way-is
with Lightning Hot Drops. This
remedy is especially valuable in colds,
la grippe, influenza, coughs, hoarsness
etc. Indeed for la grippe and infu-
enza it may truly be said to be a
specific. Ahile for breaking cold or
relieving hoarseness it is without an
equal. ..

Love rs BLIND"
A Rejected Cuban Plans His Own
Death.

The body of Manuel Perez, who lost
his life in balloon ascension at Key
West, Fla, was recovered from the
bay, but it had been 90 mangled by
sharks and fishes that il was almost
unacceptable. twas first thought
Perez had lost his life as the result of
an accident, but developments show
thar, rejected by the woman he loved,
the man deliberately leaped from the
balloon into the waters of the bay.
Perez was the son of wealthy Gu
ban at Tampa, and when Forepaugh's
show was in that place recently the
young man became infatuated with
with Mile Zola, beautiful member
OF the company. Tine girl gave Perez
no encouragement, but he was so in
fatuated that he left home and follow
ed the company, taking part in the
exhibitions When the company
reached here Perez arde..tly pressed
his love on Mile. Z)ls, but she spurn-
ed him. The Respondent lover then
volunteered to make the balloon as
cension.
Although he had never been up be-
fore. his request was granted, and he
made the ascension, being instructed
to descend by parachute. Perez made
no effort to cut loose, but wvited until
the balloon had cleared the land and
was far out over the BAY. Then, with
the balloon of 1900 feet, he deliberate.
ly leaped into the water. Fhe noise
made by his body striking the water
was heard nearly mile. Mile. lola
who was watching, gave piercing
scream as she saw her rejected lover
leap to death. In his trunk
was found letter addressed to Mile.
lola. In it he said his life was worth
less without her, and that he would
ascend in the balloon and leap into
the bav in order to end his torture
Mile. lola is distracted by the tragedy
She now says that she really loved
Perez, and only rejected him in order
to test the strength of his love for her.

Peoria, Feb. 3 Prediction is made
