REPUBLICAN METHODS.
Attempt to Prevent Van Duzer and Davis From
Speaking Ia Lincoln County.

Republican campaign methods were for
cibly illustrated by the outrage perpe-
strated in DeLamar, Lincoln county. last
+ Thursday night. when an attempt was
made to break up the meeting held by
Messrs. Van Duzer and Davis, Demo-
scartic-Silver candidates for Congressman
and State Controller respectively. spe-
cial to the Reno Journal gives the follow
ing account of the affair:
G. d. Van Duzer and Sam p. Davis ad-
dressed a large audience here last even
ing Just at the close of Mr. Van Duzer's
remarks the electric lights in the hall
were turned out. There was great con-
fusion and some Kisses as the audience
arose to leave.
Mr. Davis took the platform and began
addressing the audience in the darkness.
He announced that he would speak as
advertised, lights or no lights.
The large audience remained In their
seats while Mr. LAWS continued speaking
until coal oil lamps and candles were
brought into the hall
of the way the DeLamar and April Fool
comapnies had swindled the State and
county out of over half a million dollars
in taxes. He presented a complete array
of figures substantiating his statement
and charged assessor Prudential and
District Attorney McNamee with having
allowed these companies to perpetrate a
swindle and throw the county into debt.
His talk was the most startling and
merciless expose of official rottenness
ever made in Lincoln county. 1t was re-
eeived with hearty demonstration by the
audience and is the talk of the town to-
day.
The Republicans admit the truth of the
statement anu many say they are glad
that the whole thing has been made pub
lie. 1t absolutely defeats the Republican
ticket in Lincoln county.
Mr. Van Duzer's reply TO Farrington's
personal remarks on Mr.. Newlands was
dtgnified and instructive and thoroughly
unaid Farringtons work here and made
Newlands many votes.
Lincoln county is now safely fusion FOR
the entire ticket. The turning out Of the
electric lights has caused expressions OF
indingation, even among Republicans,
who announce that they deprecate such
work and will vote the fusion ticket.

SANTA .BARBARA's GRAPEVINE.
Bore Ten Tons of Fruit in a Recent Season.

NJ. c. Frederick. in The scientinc Amer

 Wherever the fame of Santa Barbara has spread that of her big grapevine has likewise expanded The vines are of the Mission variety, brought from Spain by the Mission Fathers. There was many a pang of regret when, in the centennial year. it was known that the old land- mark in the Monticito Valley was to be cut down and a portion of 1t removed to the Exposition at Philadelphia: but it was whispered that relentless time. who is no reSpector of grapevfnes. was begin ming to impair its vitality. and that the inevitable was only haStened a little by the intervention of man.

The measurement of its trunk is given as feet 10 inches in circumference, and the arbor was about 75 feet square. Its death was believed to be premature, the result of changing the course of a small stream that had flowed near it's roots.
 But another vine near by, a cutting from the original, had attained to nearly this Size, so that Santa Barbara could still boast of having 'the biEgegt grape vine in the world" Tn 1899 this vine sue cunnbed to a disease of the roots. per haps invited by age, and It's body now rests in the Santa Barbara Chamber of Commerce It's irregular trunk attained gIrth of { feet, 4 inches at IS inches above tho ground. or feet inches at 42 inches, and It's maximum yield was four tons In a season.

 An effort was made to secure a part or the original Montecita vine-taken to Ohio after the Contamination the Santa Barbara exhibition at the Worlds Fair, but terms could not be made with the owner At the time of the succeeding midwinter fair at San Francisco an of- fer of $1 900 for the Carpinterta vine was refused. else it's lease o6 life would have been cut short.

Cost of Modern Research.

American Magazine.
 The cost of modern original research as compared with that of che past is clearly set forth by Professor Dewar In his pres- idential address before the British Asso- citation. He obtained from the book of the Royal institution the actual outlay ma0e by the institution during the past 100 years for experimental inquiry. and public demonstration. which was $59s. .0o0. or an average of $6.oOo a year. Recall ing the names of Young, Davy, Faraday and Tyndail, Professor Dewar concludes that the exceptional man is about the cheapest of natural products" The gist of the matter is perceived when it Is stated that the Carnegie institution will dispose in one year of as much money as the members of. the Royal institution expended in 100 years.
