LOCAL USE OF WINE.

amounts tina he will pay for it are some
times immense. The question Is often asked
where the most expensive wines come
from. The c~ostliest wines are those that
are made from select vintages and are not
restricted to any location. As, for instance.
there are Rhine wines that cost $50 per
dozen quart bottles. There are wines that
come from France that In cost are fabulous.
L have in my possession one small cask of
wine called Napoleon sherry that is over
one hundred years old. bought 1T in
Spain, and the old man from whom 1 pur-
chased it said that on one Of the great
Napoleon's numerous campaigns he had
drunk from the cask which 1 now possess
and had pronounced 1T very fine. and since
hat time Ii has taken its name from him.
The wine now is very dry; in fact, its
favor is what might be called bitter. Its
value In figures is s. a bottle, but TO a col
lector the value can hardly be estimated in
figures, for he would pay fabulous sums
for 1t.

of a number of different grapes. The fer
mentation takes place after 1t Is bottled
instead of in watts, as is the case with all
other wines. This results in the formation
Of a carbonic gas which gives the drink
all of its life. sparkle and brilliancy. That
champagne requires an endless amount of
work and the most skillful artisans to
make it is proven by the fact that 1t takes
three years to change it from the raw ma
terial to the sparkling liquor that we see
served on the tables. In making a cham
payne the Juice of the blended grapes Is
bottled as soon as the pulp is taken away.
These bottles are then put IN a rack,
mouth downward, and in a short time a
sediment forms in the bottom of them. As
soon as this formation takes place a man
turns the bottles each day until this sedi-
ment works to the cork. This takes about
three years. The cork is then taken out
and the force of the gas blows the forma-
ton out, the wine is then clear and pure.
After adding a little very old champagne to
the bottle or some very select brandy the
new wine is ready for the market"

In an uptown Sunday school recently a
question OF Biblical history was under dis
cussion. The teacher, after reading sew
eral chapters dealing with the history OF
the kingdom Of Israel and the earlier
prophets. began ca~techizing the scholars
as to their knowledge of the subject. Her
examination had proceeded satisfactorily
and the children generally had shown a
familiarity with the Scriptures and the
characters shown that was as remarka-
bic as 1t was gratifying to the ski of
their preceptor. All had gone so well that
finally the teacher suggested that IL any
pupil had any questions TO PROFOUND she
would willingly and gladly answer them.
For a moment the class was silent, and the
teacher was congratulating herself that
her calculations had been so clear that
further inquiry was practically useless.
Then a hand went up-a warty boyish
hand that wriggled In excited eagerness.
We'll, Johnny. what is IL you want to

And the earnestness of his manner and

strange, and In truth they look out OF place.
The Americans dance the waltz with al
easy, gliding motion. When one looks down
on them from the balcony OF a ballroom
they appear as a wave instead OF a hop
ping and jumping mass OF humanity. The
movements that the people of this country
use In dancing the waltz are much easier
than those used by the French. and one on
the floor can dance about twice as long
and be less weary.
Dancing is more OF an art than many
people imagine. and in many ways it is SIM
flar to music. 1t is. by the way. much
easier for people who understand music TO
learn TO dance than for those who do not
know one Aote from another. The move
meats in dancing TO many people are a
gift. and seem 10 come to them without any
trouble. / ave often seen II the case
where members OF the same family would
come to me for lessons that one OF them
would make a fine dancer in a very few
lessons while the other would work for
months and then never accomplish the art.
To the person who readily learns the move
ments OF the dance. OF course. the amuse-
ment Is much more enjoyable than to one
who cannot. for the awkward person is
always conscious OF himself. That is the
reason I always contend that a person
should learn 10 dance when young. Take
a child between the ages OF nine and four
teen. and IL he IL the least timid he Will

Charleston, S. c., Jan. 27.-Maagre
details of an express robbery near
Branchville shortly after O'Clock this
evening have been received. The
train from Charleston slowed up two
miles from Branchville, the engineer
fireman and conductor were ordered
by several masked men at tne point of
pistols to stop the train.
The robbers overawed the passen-

press and baggage cars, went two
miles up the road, unloaded the two
iron express safes, put them On a
two horse wagon and drove away
The express messenger was ordered
by the robbers TO unlock the safes

few miles Of Branchville in 1899. He
murdered the chief witness against

CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.

New York, Jan. 27.-There was a
clash in court this afternoon between
District Attorney Jerome and Coroner
Goldenkranse, resulting in the former
being struck in the face by the lat
ter's clerk. Jerome was in his office
examining Shaler, Bracken and Nc
Grath, the men under arrest in con-
nection with today's explosion, when
policeman entered and under the
coroner's instructions, demanded that
the prisoners appear before that Of
fetal. Jerome allowed them to go
but he and his assistants followed.
The district attorney told the coroner
that there was no information in the
patrolman's affidavit on which to hold
anybody and there was wordy wran-
gle between the two officers. In spite
of protests the coroner gave the case
to the jury, who returned verdict
recommending the discharged of tie
prisoners.
The coroner then opened court as
a sitting magistrate, had the men re-
arrested and held them without bail.
More protests came from Jerome
and the coroner changed his decision,
holding the men in $4,000, each.
All this had worked up the feelings
of everybody so much that there was
a free fight. Jerome received a blow
in the face from the coroner's clerk,
who in. turn was beaten by two Of
the district attorneys detectives
Then the detectives and clerk had
each other arrested, but sooE better
counsel prevailed and all charges
were withdrawn for the present.

NeW York, Jan. 27.-The second day
of the trial Of Lawyer Albert T. Pat
rick, accused of the murder of William
M. Rice, brought it up to the point
where the cause Of the death of the
millionaire was sought to be determ-
ined. The first witness along this
line or inquiry introduced by the pros
ecution was DR.. Hamilton Williams,
one of the physicians attached to the
coroner's staff, who attended the au-
topsy. The gist of his evidence was
that the lungs were congested and
that this was due to the inhalation of
some gaseous irritant, and that chloro-
form would have produced such con-
dition of the lungs. He later said
pneumonia could produce the same
condition.

PUBLISHED DISPATCHES FROM
/ MANILA PROVOKE DISCUSSION
SENATORSON THEIR DIGNITY
House Passes Bill to Make Attend
ance of Witnesses Before Local
Land Offices Compulsory.

Washington, Jan. 27:-An animated
and prolonged discussion was precip-
itated in the senate today over the
right Of army officers to criticise ut
terances made in the senate or else
where, on the conduct of affairs in
the Philippines. At times 1t became
acrimonious, the officers in the Phil
ippines being taken sharply to task
for statements attributed to them in
dispatches from Manila.
Rising to question of privilege ear
ly in the session, Mr. Dubois of Idaho
had read an Associated Press dispatch
from Manila in which General Wheat
on was quoted as criticising some ut
terances of Professor Sch,lrman in a
speech delivered in Boston. Mr. Du-
bois thought the president, in the cir
cumstances, would be warranted in
reprimanding General Wheaton for
his criticisms. He declared that such
comment upon the action of the SEN
ate was Outrageous and indecent"
and that the minority had had quite
enough threats and blackmail The
debate thus precipitated, took wide
range. Mr.. Lodge of Massachusetts,,
Mr.. Spooner of Wisconsin, and others
maintained that no newspaper utter
ance ought to be accepted as the basis
of a reprimand of any officer unless
it was supported by an investigation
indikatings the accuracy Of the report.
Risingte speak on the pending ques-
ton, Mr.. Money of Mississippi deliv-
cred an extended speech, in the
course of which he went pretty thor
oughly over the whole Philippine ques-
ton.
Mr.. Platt of Connecticut took sharp
issue with the Mississippi senator on
some of his conclusions of constitu
tional law, contending that the United
States could not be expected to grant
independence to the Filipinos and to
relinquish all interests in the islands
merely because of the natives desire
for liberty.
