TO BOYCOTT THE CENTENNIAL.
Minister'S Alliance Discusses Sale of

The Christian Ministers Alliance.
which has for some weeks been con-

the Tennessee centennial management
to permit the sale of beer and wine in
the centennial grounds, held an inter

A committee heretofore appointed to
express the views of the alliance re-
ported, expressing sympathy with the
patriotic purpose of the centennial; de-
light that the gates will not be open on
Sunday, but deploring the determine
ton to sell beer and light wines. and
protesting against it.
Rev. J. W. Cherry and B. T. HAYNES
presented a substitute regretting that
the centennial authorities intended ig-
noring the sentiments and wishes of
the hundreds of thousands of Christian
people and ministers; regretting the
necessity of withdrawing its support,
but requesting the churches not to have
exhibits on the grounds. The substitute
was rejected ayes, II; noes, 90; and
the original report was adopted.
Rev. J. w. Cherry then withdrew
from membership of the alliance. saw.

Ten Tons of Grapes on One Vine.
The largest grape vine in the world
is in Santa Barbara County, Cal. The
trunk is seven feet eight inches in cir
conference, its size and appearance
suggesting an oak rather than grape
vine. Its branches rest on a stalwart
frame, covering a space one-third Of an
acre in extent. 1t grows rapidly, and
would undoubtedly attain even greater
dimensions were it not that the owner,
having reached the limit Of the space he
has reserved for his giant vine, and,
being unwilling to concede it more
room, cuts it back every year.
The frame over which the vine is
spread is strongly built, as is required to
support the tremendous weight of
grapes annually yielded by the vine.
Sixty stout posts, with heavy cross
beams, form the foundation for the
grape-laden branches. The vine is of
the Mission variety, and is so prolific
that in 1893 1t bore eight tons of grapes
and last year the owner took ten tons
from the vine, in addition to as many
clusters as the neighbors cared to carry
