VCBATuDEs OF CHAMPAGNE.

The fashions in wines are as remark
able as the fashions in bonnets. one
boosted champagne of today hardly
gets a glance in the market tomorrow.
Thirty years ago when one spoke OF
champagne he meant Piper Heidseck,
but who ever hears of this particular
brand now? Between January and
June OF the present year but 3209 cases
of this wine were imported TO the
United States as against 60,97S cases of
Moet & ChandOn, the ruling favorlte.
As lately as last year Mumm was
ahead. but this year it is some 5000
cases short. Ruinart had a vogue five
or six years ago, but the importations
for the first six months of 1903 were
1926 cases only. Pommery & Greno
scored only $40. 1t is about twenty
wears since connoisseurs thought there
was no wine like we Cliquot, but the
widows vintage now suits Americans
SO badly that they only order about
5000 cases Dry Monopole has fallen TO
1907 and Perrier Jouet to 1000. Even
the Due de Montebello does better than
that and Bouche and Jules Mumm not
much worse.
The changes Of fashion are not due,
ordinarily, to changes in quality, All
the standard chamPagnes are about !
alike II appears that the choice IL
made arbitrarily in Europe, where the |
canrice of a ruler, in ordering the wines
for a banquet, makes or unmaKes
great industry. If. for example Presi-
dent 1.oubet in giving a state dinner
nrefers Moet & Chandon, as ne ala Ior
the feast given King Edward, then
E,uronean society and after that Amer
lean and Colonial society, follows SUIT
Moot g. Chandon then has great DOOM
and the favorite wine OF last year goes
into the cellar to age-to wait there
until some European sovereign wants IL
and then the Moet & Chandon Is dis-
placed. Who knows but. in this way
piner Heidseck will yet come out OF
it's cobwebbed retirement?
American champagnes have not yet
had chance IHc lawn VI $50 1
and probably will not have for CEN i
turv TO come. A vineyard, like the
wine in the wood, improves with age.
There is a certain crudeness in the new
soil which must be mellowed by long
tillage, certain acrid properties whicn

From Bootblack TO b. A.

From a Chicago bootbIack to a Co
lumbia university bachelor of arts il
THE record of Charles Winter Wood. tn.
negro who received his degree las
week.
Mr.. Wood had already won orator
ical honors in the West He Will &c
to the Tuskegee institute this fall &c
continue his work at the head of the
English department.
Fifteen years ago, while backing
boots and selling newspapers on a Chi
cago street corner, he attracted the
attention OF Judge Jarvis Blume by
quoting Shakespeare while he polished
industriously on the lawyers shoes.
Judge Blume became interested and
said:
Say, Charlie, I'll give you a dollar
if you'll learn the ghost scene from
Hamlet
The colored boy quickly consented.
and on going to the lawyers office to
earn his dollar he found a roomful of
Judge Blume's friends, who were pre-
pared for amusement. He recited the
scene in a way that astonished his
auditors. and induced Judge Blume to
undertake his education.
DR.. D. K: Pearson, who has aided
many struggling colleges in this coun-
try, and the Rev, D. Frank W. Gun
saulus. the Chicago preacher later be-
came interested in Wood and he was
sent to Beloit college, Wisconsin, to
be educated.
During his course there his dramatic
and oratorical ability became so mark
ed that he was chosen as the Wisconsin
in the interstate ora
torical contest at Galesburg in 1895,
winning second place. William J.
Bryan, who was one of the judges,
marked him 100 per cent.
Eight years after he forsook his
bootblacking outfit and newspapers for
books he appeared as Oedipus in So
phocies' tragedy when it was presented
ia Central Music hall, Chicago, by the
Greek department of Beloit college.
Mr.. Wood was graduated from Beloit
college in 1895 and from the Chicago
seminary in 1898, and the
same year was engaged by Booker r
as head of the English
department at Tuskegee. In 1901 Mr..
selected him for the John
Crosby Brown scholarship at Column
oia, from which institute he has just
been graduated.-New York Sun.

THEY PLANNED
a REVOLUTION.
Five Hundred Men From the

to Panama.

Houston. Tex, Nov Five hun,
dred men, 200 from Texas and 800
from Louisiana and the mountains
OF Tennessee, were to have set up an
independent government on the
lsthmus OF Panama. Two months
ago an agent OF the revolution was
in Houston. He bore recommenda-
tions from every officer OF the Sew.

Spanish war, alec from the governors

ammunition and supplies were ready
for distribution. The expedition wa.
to have sailed from New Orleans in

OF November 3. Fifty men enlisted
here and $50 from over the state In
New Orleans and the Tennessee
mountain district similar prepara-
tions we're made.
The agent is supposed to have rep
resented the French Panama Canal
company, large interests on the
isthmus and others In the United
States. 1t Is believed 500 men could
control the situation on the isthmus,
establish government and deal til.
cially with the United States. Every
member was bound under oath to
