been a member of the choir, and the
voices of the members could not be
forced to the ordeal. Instead three OF

by Mrs. l. D. Smith. Then came the

church, by DR.. Marshall, the rector,
assisted by E. Mcqueen Gray, who
is the lay reader of the church. The

To Fight Wine AduIteration.

Buffalo, N. Y, May 6.-The first

Association will meet in this city one
month from today. 1t is expected that
by that time the entire American
wine trade will be represented. At
the inception of the movement for the
organization of the American wine
growers and for the maintenance OF
the purity of American wines. the
California growers got the impression
that the western growers, who con-
stituted the majority of the new asso-
citation. were hostile to them. That
impression has now been dissipated.
and several of the big California wine
producers have joined the association
The association has taken a firm
stand against the adulteration OF
American wines. and against their
sale under foreign labels. Its officers
believe that America can produce as
good wines as any other country I'm
the world, and that the only way the
trade can be built up is by selling the
wines for exactly what they are. A
determined effort will be made to
suppress the adulterators. and to Sc
cure the passage of stringent laws
against the adulteration Of native
wines.
