DOMESTIC WINES.

Some useful facts as to the extent
10 which foreign wines find n market
in the United States are set forth by
the New York Sun of February II. IL
is shown that German wines 10 the
amount of 1,250,000 gallons in casks
ana 100000 dozen bottles are imported
INTO the United States each year 10
the value of about S1.500.000. These
nnportatlonS have not fluctuated much
IN amount in recent years, though, fol
lowing the commercial depression of
lS93, foreign wines, like other articles
or luxury, suffered from IL restricted
American market. Germany now
stands second on the list of European
nations exporting wines TO the United
states, France being the first and
Hungary the chief competitor of Ger
many. From Spain, Italy and Portu-
gal 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,
particularly the Rhine and Moselle
wines.
The most expensive brands of Ger
man wines still retain their popularity
in the United States, but by degrees
the cheaper wines have been replaced
by domestic white wines. Ohio makes
IN Il year 2,0000O0 gallons of wine,
aud Missouri 100000, the demand
tor these wines being chiefly in those
large cities of the middle West which
have large German population, par
ticularly st. Louis, Toledo, Cleveland,
Cincinnati Fort Wayne and Milwau-
Eee. Recent reports from Germany
make it probable that there will be Il

own country shows Il steady increase,
and that the more generally our pee

ODDITIES OF POISONING.
Some People May Safely Eat Certain Food
Which Would lie Poison to Others.

ulcn w OuIO bo foisOn TO otuerb.
The constitutional differences and
peculiarlties which exist among indi-
Tiduals should always be carefully
watched and considered. One person
can handle poison ivy with impunity
while another is poisoned If only in
the vicinity of the vine and without
contact. Some members of family
residing in malarial district will
suffer regularly with chills and fever,
while other members will not be mt
all affected.
Food that is actually poisonous to
some persons, will not so act on 9th
ers. One person may eat all kinds
of green fruit and vegetables with i'm
punity, while another person could
do so only at the risk of life. Ger
tain kinds of fish are actually pois-
Dnous TO some people and perfectly
wholesome to others.
1t is this peculiar condition OF the
system which constitutes the danger
point in the individual ease and
should be prudentlE observed by each
one for himself. intestinal derangc-
ments frequently arise from and are
aggravated by certain kinds of food.
Thus person affected with kidney
or liver trouble SHOULD not eat very
white bread since the extreme white
ness is often produced by the use of
alum with al inferior article of flour,
and aS alum is known TO be pois-
onous in its effects on sound con-
stiuton, this is why alum baking
powder is never used by people of
Judgment and discretion.
More of earthly happiness depends
upon what we eat than many people
realize and il is for this reason that
the different states are one by one
passing pure-food laws.

Binghamton \. Y. July 4.-Develop-
ments show that James Daley, who killed
himself on the eve of his wedding in the
apartments he had furnished for himself
and bride, was the victim of his own joke
instead of a suicide. Daley was to have
married Mrs. Josie Cary last wednesday.
With his groomsman, William Riley
Daley went to the house Tuesday after
noon to give the finishing touches He was
in the best of spirits and while Riley was
looking through the rooms he heard the
report of gun, and rushing to the parlor
found Daley fatally wounded on the sofa
He died before medical aid could arrive
and the first physician to come took the
cartridges from the the revolver and gave
them to Chief Of Police Moore.
He did not examine them until Monday
when he found that three were blanks
loaded simply with powder, and paste
board vadding. and that the ether had
been fired. 1t is now almost certain that
Daley, who was d great practical joker,
thinking the revolver loaded only with
blank cartridges. determined to frighten
his groomsman, and fired the shot that
took his life. little dreaming that the gun

ACCUSED OF MURDER.
Verdict of the COrOner's Jury on the
Killing of OIyn HynsOn.

Easton. Md. July 4.-Acting Coroner
Coburn held an inquest yesterday after
noon upon the death of Olyn Hynson, who
died Sunday morning of wounds received
in street fight Saturday night. DR.. 7. j.
Smithers was foreman of the coroner S
Jury, and the verdict was that Henry
Malcolm Anderson feloniously, voluntarily,
and of malice aforethought stabbed the
said Olyn Hynson in the right breast with
a knife or other sharp instrument. inllict-
ing a mortal md, of which said mortal
wound the said Olyn Hynson died"
The evidence tended to show that Hyn-
son, Anderson, Edward 7. Straushan, Ed
ward r. Cox, and John Dillon were being
driven home from Chapel district saloon
Saturday night by Liveryman Lewis X.
Edgell According to the testimony OF the
others, Cox Anderson, and Hynson were
intoxicated. During the journey Cox
struck Anderson and the latter was under
the impression that Hynson had delivered
the blow. The two then had angry words
and Anderson made some remark to the
effect that the matter could be settled in
Easton. Upon reaching here the two got
into another quarrel as to who should care
for Cox's hat while its owner slept. The
others saw them clinch several times and
chase each other to and fro. They saw
no knife used or blows struck, although
Anderson called to Hynson: Don't pull
knife on me-" and the latter replied: "All
right, I'll fight fair" at the same time
divesting himself of his coat.
In about five minutes Anderson ran up
Washington Street with Hynson after
him. The latter had not gone far when he
sank down on the steps of Gunroe Mat
thewson's residence. He died shortly after
being taken into the house. The wound
which caused death was knife thrust in
the right breast cutting into the jugular
vein and producing internal hemorrhage.
When Dr. Council asked Hynson who
stabbed him he said it was none of the
physicians business Mrs. James w.

companions at the time of the tragedy.
