THIS YEARS VINTAGE POOR
Reports from Wine Producing Gen.
ters Mark Yield of 1908 as Being
Far from Satisfactory.

According to the latest accounts it is
to be feared that the prospects of the
present vintage are somewhat cherries
>and unpromising The yield in general
will be small, and the year 1903 will not
figure in the coming records of vint-
age as a year of much brilliance.
White wines are conspicuous fail
ure, although some small success is
promised in regard to the famous spark
ling wines produced in the neighbor-
hood Of Rheims, owing to the spell of
fine weather in September Long con-
tinued rains have damaged the vines of
the Bordeaux districts and the crop is
small. From Beaune comes similar
story, while the news from Jarez de la
Frontera, where the heat has been in
tense and the season dry, is in favor Of
fairly good vintage.
Again, port will not rank high either
in quality or quantity this year, and the
yield of wine along the banks of the
Rhine and the Moselle is small, and the
mine is without any great promise of fine
development The harvest in the Char
ente is also small, owing to which cir
cumstance probably much of the wine
is being bought for direct consumption,
and will not reach the still at all; the
yield of brandy, therefore, is likely to
be small
Against all this we have the report
that the vintages of South Australia and
California are satisfactory nc repardc c
both quality and quantity.

FETCH DOCTORS ON CONGO.
The Men who Have Recently stirred
,.Up Rsvolt in the African
E.,..a Free State. :.

A recent dispatch from London says
that fetch doctors in the Lomami dis
trict OF the Congo State, about 900 miles
from the Atlantic, have stirred up many
natives to revolt, fortifying their cour-
age to this point by incantations which
Will render them invulnerable to the bull
lets Of the whites.
Fetichism Is recognized as an impedi-
nsnt to progress on the Congo. Just
as the Congo State has made the crimes
OF slave raiding, cannibalism and hui
man sacinces punishable with death, so
It has placed the arts Of the fetch doc
tor On the list Of misdemeanors, and
Furnishes these men when they are
caught plying their trade.
These fellows live by their wits. They
keep alive faith in the efficacy OF
charms, belief in witchcraft and many
other harmful superstitions. Any one
is likely to be accused Of being = witch
II he happens to have property that is
coveted by the chief or the fetch doctor
or has incurred the hatred Of some one
whom the fetch man desires to please.
The natives believe that the person thus
accused Is wizard, and when he takes
the poison test, and staggers and falls
under the Influence Of the drug, his gilt
is considered as established, and the by
ISLANDERS rush at him and beat him to
death.
DR.. Bentley, of the Baptist missions,
wrote a while ago that many hundreds
Of terrible stories Of this kind with much
variety Of detail might easily be col
lected. He told Of case on the low Con-
80 where Is men were compelled to suf-
fer death because fetch doctor ac-
cused them Of causing the death Of six
men who had been drowned by the up
setting Of their canoe
AS fast as the influence Of the Congo
State is extended over It's vast domain
the authorities are making much trouble
for the fetich doctor by diminishing his
prestige and Furnishing him for prac-
tising his art. SO he regards white men
as his special enemies and, If possible.
stirs up the natives against them.

BASIS OF LONG LIFE.
Crusade Against Salt and Water of
Recent Arrival in London.
Herr SalomOnsOn Proposes to Convert
City's 100000 Inhabitants to His
Vfews-His Appearance REM
fniscent of Bible Days.

A curiOus-looking man Of strange
habits and with mission that is even
stranger recently arrived in London
from Ascona, on Lake Maggiore, Swift
zerland. He has taken up his residence
in the vicinity of Colney Hatch-lane, N,
and he believes that in abstinence from
salt and water lies the secret of long life.
Herr Joseph Salomonson, the man in
question, wanders about the North Lon
brown corduroy, encircled at the waist
by girdle. His long, brown, wispy
hair, unincumbered by hat, hides his
collarless neck, and ragged-edged
beard droops over the open part of his
gown. His feet are incased In sandals,
and at times he carries staff that
reaches to his shoulders. Altogether,
his appearance is reminiscent OF figures
in Scriptural illustrations.
Herr Salomonson's object is to try to
induce London's 100000 inhabitants
to refrain from eating salt and drinking
liQuids-all manner of liquids, even
water He himself, so he asserts, has
not taken any kind of liquid since Sep
tember 1, 1903, and he has eschewed salt
for longer period.
At Ascona he has established colony
of devoted disciples, male and female,
who do likewise. Moreover, they work
in a state of primitive absence of attire,
separated by wooden partitions, and
when the weather permits they even
IN &c eto hor
Herr Salomonson appreciates the diff
Guilty of this part of his programme
being carried out in London.
But" he explained, there are plenty
of suitable sites within an hours rail-
way journey from the city"
He saw no reason, however, why Lon
don should not at once abandon the eat
ing of salt and the drinking of liquids.
Salt" he averred, sis the beginning
of all evil 1t is ruinous to the body,
damaging to the soul, and destructive of
the intellect. Water or any other form
of liquid is mere burden to the stom-
ach, and has no value at ALL"
In short, Herr Salomonson, who is a
man Of considerable intelligence, be-
lieves that If people followed his exam
pie there would be no sickness. During
the 26 months that no drop has passed
his lips he has lost in weight 62 pounds,
but feels many years younger and much
stronger.
There is not a sound man in the
world" he declared, "and yet people
who eat salt and drink water live to be as
old as 80 or even 100. When we live a
natural life I see no reason why we
should not attain to 200 or $50 years. 1
believe in the ages mentioned in the
Bible, and l believe we should live as
long in these days If we lived on the
lines intended for humanity. That Is
my mission here"

RECORD OF CAPE COD MAN.
He Has Never Kissed a Girl
Has n Divine Mission.

Gladstone Dowie is no longer a
unique figure in the world. In North
Scituate, Mass, there is man whose
record beats that of the younger
Dowie by many, many years.
Alfred Herbert Mott has lived for
35 years and never yet has succumbed
to the seductions of the red, ripe, cram
berry-colored lips of Cape Cod maid
ems, he says.
Like the elder Dowie, he has received
divine mission and has decorated
his lawn and house with inspiring mes
sages, by means Of which he hopes to
lead the wayward 10 see the light AS
yet, however, he has not succeeded in
gathering around him congregation,
for the hard-headed Cape Cod residents
are not as easily gulled as those who
have flocked to Dowie's standard.
There is a dim suspicion in the
minds of some that the new prophet
is making a virtue of necessity, for one
Of his texts reads:
"Whosoever findeth wife, findeth a
good thing"
BY which it woud appear that oppor-
tunity is all the young prophet re-
Quires.
His father, Otis Mott, with whom he
lives alone in a house on Blossom
street, has not adopted his ways of
thinking. The old man, hale and
hearty at "a, has had a varied matri-
monial experience. He has outlived
four wives, the last of whom was Mrs.
Karen Trommer, the mother-in-law of
Mrs. Cora Trommer, the Thatcher
island lightkeeper, now under arrest
for polygamy.

Novel Grounds for Divorc.

For seven years Ark Fletcher and his
wife Martha have lived in the same
house, at Cleveland, O., and yet the man
never in all those years spoke to her.
This is the declaration set up in the
wife's petition for divorce. And then.
when the seven years silence was at
last broken, she says, it was in quar-
ref. She wants the court to dissolve
the marital ties. They were married in
Sandusky in 1869. Seven children have

living. The eldest is 80 years old and

City Official Said to be Implicated
Recent Frauds.

st. Louis May z9.-John Barbaglia,
convicted of naturalization frauds,
made a confession Wednesday which,
it is announced, duplicates a high city
official.
The prisoner stated that the "high
official" whose name was Withheld,
gave him blanks to be filled with the
names OF Italians. who had not been
naturalized. but whose votes Were de-
sired. These enabled the holders to be
registered and vote at the following
elections. though they were in no way
entitled to that privilege.
Barbaglia also asserts that the men
who caused him to commit these frauds
furnished his legal counsel, arranged
for his bond. and paid all the expenses
of his defense.
