some $3.50, nearly all in gold, was placed
in 1894 by Mr. Gladish in the vaults for
safe keeping. The custom is to have two
keys, one for the depositor and the ether
retained by the custodian. Mrs. Gladish
is said to have had access to the box. Even
tually it was discovered that about $3.50 was
missing. The bank, in its answer, disclaims
any responsibility for this, but the plain

todian in trust and the money was left
with it for safe keeping, relying upon the

pendent Upon Foreign Wine Inn
portntions-Some Useful Facts.

Some useful facts as TO the extent &c
which foreign wines find market in
the United States are set forth by the
New York Sun OF February IL. IL is
shown that German wines TO the
amount of 100000 gallons in casks
and 100000 dozen bottles are imported
into the United States each year to the
value OF shout Sl.500,000. These inn
portations have not fiuctuated much in
amount in recent years, though, follow
ing the commercial depression of 1898.
foreign wines, like other articles OF
luxury, suffered from n restricted
American market. Germany now
stands second in the list of European
nations exporting wines TO the United
States. France being the first and Hun
gary the chief competitor of Germany.
From Spain, Italy and Portugal some
wines are imported, but the chief
source of American supply is France
for red wines and Germany for white
wines OF the better quality, particular
w the Rhine and Mosellc wines.
"The more expensive brands of Ger
man wines still retain their popularity
i'm the United States, but by degrees the
cheaper wines have been replaced by
domestic white wines. Ohio makes in
n year 100000 gallons of wine, and
Missouri 100000, the demand for these
wines being chiefly in those large
cities OF the middle west which have u
large German population, particularly
.. EAl
Fort Wayne and Milwaukee. Recent
reports from Germany make IL prob
able that there will be decline in the
importations this year, the Rhine wine
yield being last year one of the poor
est, as TO quantity and quality, of re-
cent years. because OF unfavorabla
weather.
american wine producers find no
reason for doubting their ability To
compete, under fair terms, with their
German trade rivals. They have the
benefit OF tariff on foreign wines, the
benefit arising from the cost of trans
portation and from the fluctuations OF
foreign markets. which, in consequence

With these conclusions OF the Sun
the American Economist is In hearty
accord. II is n matter for general con
graduation that the demand for the
honest and wholesome wines of our
own country shows n steady increase.
and that the more generally our people

the less dependent we become upon inn
portatons of foreign wines. IL is going

are not poured from bottles bearing for
eign labels, but in time they will learn
il. The marked enlargement OF the use
and consumption OF high-class Ameri-
can wines shows that the light OF truth
is spreading.

John F. Dinsdale announces that he
has quit the ring. He said so yesterday

announced that he would like to get on
a match with Lawler, and if he can he

Dinsdaie is credited with saying sew

George P. King, feels aggrieved over.
among the things Dinsdale said is that
he Is tired making matches and not
having them pulled off.
Mr.. King evidently thinks DinsdaIe
hasn't much gratitude to find fault with
the way he has been used. AS far as the
match making is concerned Mr.. King
says he tried to get good ones for Dins-
dale, matches that he could win. He
says he wanted to keep the youngster
away from top notchers for the present
because he didn't want to see Dinsdale
get whipping early in his career. Mr..
klng says Dinsdale is a good one, but
there are better men at his weight If

Rosenberg to be fought at Hartford.
Rosenberg didn't show up. Dinsdale
went with Jack Dwyer Of Boston in
what was simply an exhibition. Dins-
dale got 500 and King didn't get a cent,
as all bets were off, and there was little
betting on the fight. Mr.. King paid for
Dinsdale's training at the Eyrie and
paid Joe Flaherty to condition him. In
his second match with Rosenberg,
which didn't come off because Rosen-
berg wouldn't get in the ring, Mr. King
also paid Dinsdale's training expenses,

Mr.. King says thus far the account
stands in favor of Dinsdale. The latter
got 500 out of his fight at Hartford
with Dwyer. King has not won any
money on Dinsdale and has paid out
about $50 for his training.
He finds no fault with Dinsdale if
the latter wants to quit the ring, but
says Dinsdale should make no com
ment rejecting on his treatment or the
failure Of his matches to come off.
