A novel industry has sprung up in a
Pennsylvania town which is said to have
been in use i'll France for some time.
1t is nothing less than the raising of
spiders in large numbers for the pur-
pose of stocking wine cellars. The
spiders are sold to wine merchants, who
let them loose in their cellars. The
spiders spin the webs around the bot
ties of new wine, which, with little
dust judiciously applied, gives an ex-
terror appearance to the bottles as of
extreme old age. OF course this has it's
effect on the prospective buyer, with
the result that the merchant can sell
the wine of recent vintage at the price
of the real old thing.

FRANK M'COPPIN.

By the death of Postmaster McCoppin
San Francisco loses another of those citi-
zens who are associated with the early
days of her history and whose energies
have been directed to the public service
with distinguished success. His death
will be felt therefore as loss to the COM
munity at large, and his friends and rela-
lives Will have abundant popular sympa-
thy in their sorrow.
Mr.. McCoppin came to San Francisco in
1859 and almost Immediately took prom
inent part in municipal politics. He was
elected Supervisor when but 26 years of
age and fulfilled the duties of that Office
with SO much satisfaction to the people
that he was reelected again and again.
In 1867 he was chosen Mayor. and here
again he proved himself worthy of the
confidence of the people. His admins
tration was progressive and was marked
by the beginning OF Golden Gate Park, a
fact W hich in Itself Is sufficient to retain for
him high place in the memory OF his
fellow citizens and in the history Of the
City.
Passing from municipal to State poll
tics Mr.. McCoppin served as State Senator
and was identified with the adoption OF
many legis alive measures of great i'm por-
lance to the commonwealth. In later
years he held many Federal appoint
ments. and in all of them fulfilled the du-
ties imposed upon him with credit to
himself and with benefit to the Govern
ment. His public career was in fact OF a
high standard throughout and the record
he has left is one of which any citizen
might be proud.
American communities need such men
as Frank McCoppin. In these days, when
so many citizens of standing and repute
shirk their public duties, it is no light
thing TO lose man who was ever ready to
serve the public as diligently as he served
his individual interests. In his character
civic patriotism and public spirit were
strongly developed and the community as
a whole has reason to mourn his death.

who have aided the work are commended,
and those who have thwarIed it are not
left in doubt as to the feeling of the COM
munity in gard to them. Tue meeting
evidently believed the time has come to
make a strai- htout fight for the improve
ment, and was not disposed to deal In
vague generalities. Every declaration
from the pream BILE to the closing resolve
was terse, timely and telling. 1t was an
emphatic notice given that the people OF
santa Clara County are determined to win
In this contest and that all who are not
for them will be accounted as agains:
them.
The movement is one in which Santa
Clara should have the cordial support OF
the whole State. Certainly all the COM
munities around the bay should give her
prompt and vigorous help. The proposed
i'm provement will be benefit to all our
coasting commerce. 1t will open to our
shipping another rich region, and by
building up the industries of the southern
end of the bay materially advance every
interest which is dependent for expansion
upon an IN crease of population, wealth
and trade.
The resolute way in which the people
of Santa Clara have set about their agita-
ton for the speedy beginning of the enter
prise is in itself an argument in their
favor. When men help themselves they
deserve help from others. The entire
California delegation in Congress should
make strong fight for an appropriation
for the improvement. The cost will be
little and the benefits great

THE RATE WAR.

The imminence of rate war between
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company
on one hand and the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company on the other will
cause no ILL., boding on the part of the good
people of California.
Although war, as general thing, means
a condition which, whether accompanied
by glory or fraught with humiliation, is
to be deplored in the causes which
engender it, still the rule has exceptions
wherein war becomes "a contamination
devoutly to be wished" One OF these ex-
ceptlons is war of com peting railway
and steamship lines. AS general rule
the cost of wars is drawn from the pockets
of the people, but in the particular
instance to which we refer the result is
equivalent to popular saving, and, in
fact, the more rate wars we have, as be-
tween these antag corporations, the
better pleased will be the public at large
Just at this time a slashing of trans
portation rates between this City and the
Oregon metropolis would mean an i'm
mense increase in travel, and such being
the case. California, with her innumerable
attractions, would naturally command the
biggest share OF the resultant benefits. We
are slowly and surely working our way
out of the years of tight money which
have had their retarding effect on travel :;
and there are people all over the country.
east and north OF US, who would now
eagerly take advantage of extremely low
rates to enjoy short season of recreation
and pleasure in the midst of matches
scenery in our Edenic climate
If the rate war comes, there will be no
tears shed on the part OF the people il it
should widen and extend. Let the broad
swords of the railroad and steamship
gladiators clash on each others shields-it
will be welcome conflict, and the
thousands will be likely to get their
moneys worth of inspiriting diversion
while the battle proceeds. 1t would be
well if the rate war should keep up and
grow continuously more intense all sum-
mer; and nobody would raise a staying
hand If the war were to be fought in
definitely on the same lines.

THE HALL OF JUSTICE

The continued failure of the contractors
to push work on the Hall OF Justice is
aggravating in the extreme. Their is
an army of idle men in the City,
all praying for an opportunity to labor for
daily bread for them selves and their fam
lilies. AT any time during the past three
months these contractors could have
started operations which would have
given work to large number OF the un-
employed. Instead of this, we have the
spectacle of an ornamental superintendent
of construction strutting up and down
the bare site for exercise once in q while,
and drawing the fat salary of $3.50, while at
the same time the contractors have been
persistently holding back from their agree
ment to show proper diligence in carry
ing out the terms of their contract
We trust that the Building Committee
of the Board of Supervisors will now
demonstrate that 1T possesses backbone
enough to rigidly enforce the letter of the
contract in accordance with their determ-
ination as reported in yesterdays papers.
AS the matter now stands the contract
ors face the alternative of beginning work
on the building at once or seeing it done,
luNc VI lucu, QuOCA tAc oupCIfl-
sion of the architect, and at their expense.
We may now undoubt edly be assured of
progress in the premises. There is abso-
lutely no substantial reason why the Hall
of Justice should not have been in process
OF construction long ago. The property
holders and business men Of the hall site
vicinity have voiced their Indignation on
several occasions with regard to this delay,
which is working injury to their business
and property. The City, moreover, is in
positive need of the building. 1t behooves
the Building Com mittee to stand firmly
by its action of Tuesday and to tolerate no
more dilly-dallying by the contractors. It
is even said that the latter do not take the
action of the committee seriously. 1t re-
mains for the committee to teach them
that 1t can keep its resolution. AS notice
has already been served on tie head OF
the contracting firm that any further de-
lay will cause the architect to assume
charge we look for the commencement OF
work straightway. The Building Com
mittee has done well in so far as its an
nounced resolution is concerned. We are
eager to see it carry out that resolu-
ton. If there is more delay the sim
certify of the board may be called into
question, as we'll as that of the con-
tractors.
