 Clarence Green, the biliardroom keeper, who is known from San Francis co to New York as one of the most de voted friends the gentlemen game has in America, sees great prospects for billiards this season.

ABBIE WHITNEY'S SLEEP.

For the last forty hours ADbie Whit ney, the daughter of George W. Whit ney, of Auburn, Me. has lain ill an un- conscious condition at her home on Miller street. The girls parents and others say that she was dIuggpd last Saturday night at Sabattis. where she Was attending q dance. It is hard to say whether sine was drugged or wheth- CT she is suffering from some peculiar malady which ba1fies the phpsician's $ skill ill diagnosis.
 Saturday evening. with two or three other Auburn girls, Abhie Whitney, who is about IS years old. went to d dance at Sabattis. They Gauced until midnight and tE2n returned by q late electric car. When the car was about half way to Lewiston the Whitney girl complained of being tired and sleepy | In few moments she was sound asleep.
 When the car drew near Lewiston. another young lady. who was acting as . pillow for the sleeping girl, tried to arouse her friend. Her efforts were in vain. She had fallen into a deep sleep that letied all attempts to break. At times the girl would moan and talk. but she did not awaken. nor has she come to since.
 When the car reached the Lewiston waiting room, the unconscious girl was carried inside and was placed up on q sofa. All the ordinary restora- tives were resorted to, but to no avail. "A doctor was summoned.
 He worked on the young woman q while. and. finding the case difficult. ordered a carriage and took the girl to her home in Auburn. 1t times to- day the girl moves and complains Of headache. She talked q great deal. and the burden of her talk was that she didn't care for the ice cream be- cause it tasted bad.
 T tell you I won't eat any more of it. Take it away. take it away, let me go. I want to go upstairs and dance. l won't eat any more ice cream with you. It tastes dreadful. No, no more. I won't have it.
 In her delirious talk the sick girl named an Auburn young man as the person wnO gave her the ice cream. in that ice cream. 1 saw your friend there when he put it in. l didn't? l know better: l saw him throw the bot tie away over there i'll that waste pile.
 The case is one which puzzles the physicians. who say the girls peculiar condition may be due to drugs or other causes. One physician says the girl may be suffering from some acute kid nev disease. but admits that there are some things in her condition which are not accounted for by this diagnosis Boston Herald.

FINE CAPE WINES.
Eoyy tAe CsnEtaatia Predzct Is MaSc in tke Wineries sf
 Eg2nce.

The wines known as Cons anita ara obtained by stepping the natural fer meptation of the must" CT juice. either by the addition of alcohol or sugar or by allowing the grapes to be SO ripe when gathered as to contain Q percentage of sugar sufficient to arrest Fermentation. Red and white Muscatel, Frontignac and Pontac grapes are chiefly used in the making of Con- stantia. In some cases the grapes are al1oWed to become raiEins before they are pressed. Although this class of wine is made in most parts of the col- cny, it everywhere bears the name of Constantia, from the district where it was originally made.
 It is now admitted that the attempt to make wines from grapes mo suit able for heavy sweet wines is 8 mis- take; yet pal&table light wines, both red and white, are made in many dis tricts, says Chanbers' Journal. For this tho grapes are gathered when they contain about 1s to go per cent of sugar, are then crushed and allowed to fermsnt. h making red wines the juice is allowed to feruent on tho husks, in ordsT to extract tho color. Some of the nost important coloRa al wine merchants make practice of buying the must" from the farmers ready pressed; then the racking; etc., after fermentation is done under their own rveillance. In the making of light wines the varieties Of grapes used are Sauvianon blanc, Cabsrnet aauvig- non. Pontac, Hermitage (French srsps), Stein, green grape and Haane- poot. Ths latter is large. heshy grape of the Muscat species, and is in much request for table use.
 The amount of wine obtained per thousand yines in the coast district is from one to one and a kalf lesguers- a lcaguer being 127 imperial gallons. Most of the brandy in this district is very rudely distilled from the doppep or husks of the grapes after the must" has been extracted.

 la the eazt there are other friends of billiards, who, like Clarcnce Gresn, ap- preciate the plans of some anarchists" who would have a ciaxh'of champion shipa, now that the Knickerb2cker Athletic club, of New York, has ached- uled dates for the regular winter class 4 and class balk line championships, undsr the auspices and control Of tho Am;lteur Athletic union. It may be palpable to many that the Amateur Athletic union has no more right o attempt to regulate and govern the sport of billiards than 1t has 10 try o run the United States mint, but tho friends of billiards urge that the New Workers be permitted to give their chs mpionxhiPs. If the reomkeepsrs do not like the amateur standing of the men who play, let them set 0n adaman- .ins rule governing awate urism and give their cham piOnship at some other opPortune time. The public will form it's own conclusions as to who are tho real amateurs.
 All sigma point to 3 great revival for billiards this season. said MT. Green. It is wonderful how well Wiz 1ard' Schaefer holds his own in the game.

Mckinlcy's net loss in Me


 Alnley states .... .... 36UD In six southern states Bryan gained in 1900. compared with the vote in 1896. 39,000 votes. while in the seven southern states. lie lost 15S,000 votes. suffering q net loss in that section of the country of 1l9,000 votes. To what was this due? Probably in part to q recovery from the free silver mania but most largely, no doubt. to the grat- ifCatiCn al the prosperity existing and to the opposition to the Bryan theory of contra ction-his little Americapism. In but one eastern state did Me Kinley make any gain in 1900 over his vote in 1S96-in Delaware-andt that gain may be shown by the official fig Ures to be more apparent than real. In Die eastern states carried by him in both years. Mckinley lost 346.C00 votes. while in 1G states of the middle west and weSt-all the states ip that section that he carried save Illinois he gained :}40. .0G0 votes. To what can thi, shifting of public opinion be at tributed? Of course many things en- tered it. but 1t is altogether likely that the Mckinley loss in the east was due to dSafection arising out of the for eign policy of the administration. while his gain in the west and middle west is to be attributed to the decline of the silver craze and the approval of the foreign policy which the east ac- cepted with reluctance. In the east, too. there are thousands of working men in factories who were actuated in part by the feeling that the republi- can party had not done all it should have done to suppress the trusts. The west, being more given to agriculture, was moved not so much by the truet issue as by the national expansion for. which the republican party and Me Kinley stand. IT was the conServa- tism of the east antag0niZing the pro- GreSsive spirit of the west. The lat Ter won for the reason that the popu- lar revolt in the east was not great enough to change the electoral vote of that section. s=
 The revulsion in the silver producing states of Colorado. Montana. Utah. Idaho and Nevada is remarkable, for there Bryan, though he carried four Of them. lost over 100000 votes. This. in itself, is enough to prove that the free silver issue is dead-buried under prosperity and forgotten in the pres cnce of expansion-New Haven Regis ter.

 WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The thirty fourth annual session of the National Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, began here yesterday with a good attendance and will continue for a week or more. The chief feature of interest was the an nual address of Worthy Master Aaron Jones of Indiana, who said that in most of the states the order had enjoyed great prosperity during the year. In a few states 1t had not succeeded so well. Inc members of the grange, while atdliatinS with each of the political parties in the last campaign, had emerged from its bat ties without disturbing the fraternal spirit actuating the order. Never had the conditions been more favorable for the extension of the order than now.
 The report of the secretary, Dr. John Trimble of Washington, showed that 1S2 new granges had been chartered during the year, the order now numbering over half a million members. During the day addresses were delivered by O. H. Kel- ley, by Jubal Robinson, who pledged the cooperation of the Canadian grange in the work of the order; by Assistant Sec retary J. H. Brigham of the agricultural department, Edward Wiggin and Mrs. Wiggin of Maine, Mrs. George A. Bowen of Connecticut, $. H. Ellis of Ohio and Mrs. Katharine NJ.
