LAB0RINC FOR BETTER PRICES Wine Growers Meet in Conference at St.
 Helena.
Urged by Speakers to Lend Their Support to the
 Corporation.
Henry J. Crocker Of San Francisco Presided Over the Large
 Gath ering.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

ST. HELENA, Feb. 12-A big meet ing was held here to-day by the Wine Makers Corporation for the purpose of conferring with the producers with view to strengthening the organiza- ton. The meeting was arranged by Charles A. Wetmore of Stockton and J. R. Miller of Sonoma, the committee ap- pointed to conduct this work in the in terest of the corporation. The morn- ing train from San Francisco brought Henry J. Crocker, president, and w. J. Hotchkiss, manager of the corporation.
 The meeting was held in the town hall at l o'clock this afternoon, and was largely attended, men being pres ent from Napa, Pope and Chiles val leys, Yountville, Oakville, Rutherford, Calistoga and other parts of the coun- try.
 Seneca Ewer called the meeting to order, and Henry J. Crocker was elect ed chairman, and Senator c. l.. Larue secretary. MT. Crocker outlined the ob- jects of the meeting, saying that the corporation was endeavoring to procure so per cent of the wines now outside of the association and corporation.
 With this amount added to what had already been pledged, the growers would be enabled to control the market and again name and receive fair prices for wine. There were many outside the corporation, he said, who were wanted because by united action the producers could have control of the situation, and the support of these outsiders was nec- essary to the success of the movement
 w. J. Hotchkiss reviewed the history of the corporation, telling what it had done and it's objects. He spoke of the urgent necessity of the producers standing together in order to place the market on a secure foundation. The men outside the corporation who sold to the association were, he said. fur nishing ammunition with which to fight the growers.
 Resolutions were passed commenting the action of the corporation in it's ef- forts to protect the wine men against unnecessary losses, and declaring that its projects are entitled to serious con- sideration and immediate attention.
 Speeches strongly favoring the cor poration and it's efforts to win over additional men were made by Charles A. Wetmore, J. R. Miller, s. Ewer, H. w. Crabb, c. N. Pickett, c. L. Larue and Henry Lange.
 Messrs. Wetmore and Miller will re- main in the valley for several days personally interviewing the growers and urging them to unite with the corporation.

DISTRESS IN IRELAND
 REACHES ITS CLIMAX
Many Doomed to Die of Starvation Unless Relief Is Given
 af Once

NEW YORK, Feb. PA special cable to the World from Dublin says: The dis tress in Ireland has reached an acute phase; yet Chief Irish Secretary Balfour has consented only under pressure from Irish members of Parliament to adopt en- tirely inadequate measures of. relief. Will liam Phillips, an Englishman owning large estates in West Ireland, where he is magistrate for several counties, and who is a political supporter of the present Government, gives the following appall- ing description of the condition of af- fairs there:
 ''Knowing probably better than any other Englishman the people of West Ire land, I am deeply disappointed to find Gerald Balfour'S answer to the Irish members so very unsatisfactory. From my own personal knowledge I can assure the Worlds readers that no words l could use would adequately describe the fear full state of misery and destitution in which, from no fault of their own, they are now placed. Unless many are to die of starvation, immediate relief is imper- atfyely demanded"

and G. B. Lyman of this place to-day examined Mrs. G. H. Lyall, who resides with her husband near Verona, on a charge of insanity. She was pronounced insane and committed by Superior Judge E. A. Davis to the Napa Asylum.
 Mrs. Lyall became violently insane three or four days ago. On Wednesday she jumped into the Sacramento River, with her seven months old babe in her arms. Her husband waded out to his armpits and succeeded in getting hold of posite side of the river, jumped into a skiff and rowed across to the rescue. He reached the child before it finally sank. Vigorous measures finally restored the child to life.
 Mrs. Lyall was for time an inmate of the Ctockton Asylum about eight years ago, a fact which was disclosed to her husband to-day for the first time.

HOLLISTER CAPITALIST
 ENDS LIFE WITH POISON.
Rancher Joseph H. Ringot Found Dead in a Cart in His
 Field

HOLLISTER, Feb. 12.-Joseph H. Rim got, wealthy resident of Hollister, was found dead in cart in his field at noon to-day An empty -ottle, which had con- tained carbolic acid, was evidence of sui cide. The mouth was badly burma.
 Ringot was S2 years of age. For many years he was pioneer shipbuilder in San Francisco Twelve years ago he sold his business there and invested in farming property, from which he derived a large income. Within the last three months he invested in additional property. It had been his custom to drive into the field and doze in his cart. A colored farmland heard him grooming, but supposed he was snoring. Two hours later he was found dead.
 No motive can be assigned for the sui eide, as Ringot was actively planning inn provements on his property. He leaves an estate valued at $250,000.

LONDON, Feb. 12.-The publication of the treaty with Abyssinia will prove sen- sational. The rumors of big British con- sessions are groundless. Great Britain secures another open door and the most favored nation treatment in respect to imports and local taxation. King Meme lik undertakes that the caravan route between Harrar and Zoila will be kept open for British trade and promises to prevent arms and ammunition from reaching the Mahdists, whom he ex- pressly declares to be the enemies of his empire.

Do Not Give Up in De-
spair--Therc is iiopel

For ages il has been Thought
that Cancer is incurnblc, and
those so unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affection have con
sidcrcd themselves beyond hope of
recovery. The doctors are alb
solutcly unable TO afford any re-
lief, and the poor sufferer might
we'll consider himself on the way
to an early grave.
1t is now easy to SEQ why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis-
directed. They have made the
mistake Of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would bc
gotten rid of, and the patient re-
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accompIishcs nothing, for
the CancerpromptIy returns, and is
always more virulcnt than before.
1t has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is n blood disease
and can not be cured by the surgeons
knife because The blood can not bc cul
amaH.
Several years ago my wife had an
ulcer on her tongue, which, though an
noying, was not regarded seriously at
first. Itrefuscd to heal and began tc
grow, giving her much pain. Tho doc,
tors treated it for quite while but

with what may be done on the aver
ago lands in this State or in the
SouthY' and he adds: "You, [ sup
| pose, wish to induce men to plant
corn. which they should do, but such
writing only serves to discourage
them, as they all know by experience
tint whore an occasional nero will dC
the likc there ale thousands upon
top Of thousands of acres that will
not produce moro than ten bushels
of corn per acre, and would make
nothing after crop Of oats"
On tho face of it this appears like
! solar plcxus criticism of our com
m"ndttion Of Mr.. Carlisle's crop,
but something may be said, perhaps,
in justification Of our well-moant Of
fort. In tho first place, it is to be
noted, Mr.. Carlisle made 1874 bushels
of oats and 65 bushels of corn, (be-
sidos the fodder, straw, etc., on his
acre and Il half, and realized a II,
+ 'iit of $SG.7G, $3.50 per acre.
His land was "made land" it is true
but if he could clear so large profit
on corn and oats from laud that was
"made rich" by tho washings Of Il
street drain, certainly other farmers
should bo able to clear a considrra
ble, if less, profit, on tho same crops
from land made rich ly other means
That is a fair proposition. Mr. Car.
lislc made ut tho ratio Of about A
bushels Of corn to the acre on "made
land" Mr.. Drake, Of Marlboro,
made nearly six times as much, or
2oo bushels, on the poorest land in
his county-so poor that his farm
was named "Starvation Empirc," or
something to that effect, because of
its )velty-by tho wise and liberal
use Of fertllizing materials. There
is certainly Il wide margin in favor
Of the product Of the scientifically
fortllized land in Marlboro as com
pared with that of the accidentally
fertilized land in Nowborry, and any
farmnr can fertilize his own land nc
cording TO his own knowledge and
skill in :uch matters. After Mr.
brakes illustration of what can be
done on land far below the average
lands in the State" unprogressivt
farmers in South Carolina cannot
blame their land alone when it pro
duces only "ten bushels Of corn pei
"acre," and wo can scarcely be
charged with "jestins" or shaving
fun" with them when wo urge then
to do better and hold up for theil
imitation the example of their neigh
borS who are doing better.

NEGROES NOT PLEASED.

About the only people who were
not pleased over the trip are tho
fanatical and over zealons members
of the African race, who abound
chiefly here and in Now Yo~k. They
protest that the President humiliatod
the race by accepting the hospitality
Of Southern cities whore no negroes
wore placed on the reception com
mittees
The negoes held a meeting n few
days ago and passed resolutions, the
preamble to which was directed at
the President, calling attention to the
fact that the chief executive had in
no way condemned tho killing Of
negroes in the South, and had seemed
to condono it by his speeches in At
lanta and elsewhere when ho advo-
GATED caring for the Confederate
dead. The chief orator, q negro by
the name Of Fortune from New
York, declared that tho President
had acted with treason to the negro,
and said he felt like stabbing him.
His speech was such as called for
denunciation Of even The Star, Of
this city, whose columns have been
open to every attack which any one
cared to make on tho South. 1t ad-
yocated the cause Of tho negro to the
extent that it was endorsed by the
negroes III mass meeting, but the
extent to which this license has gone
has even seemed to rlionate This
periodical from their cause.
PRESIDENT KNOWS THE SITUATION.
From tho beginning the President
has shown little interest in the claims
Of tho negro that he was being perse-
cuted in tho South, and his recent
trip thoro has convinced him that
the negro has the sympathy and en-
couragercnt of tho Southern whites
wherever tho negro tries TO uplft
himself through industry and oluca-
ton. He has expressed himself TO
several prominent mon since his re,
turn that in no section Of tho coun-
try is the negro as we'll off as in tho
South and certainly nowhere rs hap
py. This is worth a great deal to
the South; tho realization that those
who arc in power fully understand
the racial question as existing in the
South, and likewise their ability to
impart it to others Of their kind. A
common understanding is necessary
to harmony between all sections and
by this the President feels that he
has drawn to tho South proper un-
derstanding Of him, and the North
to proper understanding of tho
South.
