CALIFORNIA; SWEET WINE
VINTAGE is VERY LARGE
Bomtiful Yield OF the Year Runs
to a Total OF 13,123.93S
Gallons.

Despite the ravages of phylloxera
and other diseases that attack grape
vines. the sweet wine vintage of 1904
places California's yield ahead of any
nrevious vintage. The total runs to
13,123,93s gallons for the first eleven
months of 1904. The figures for the
Tirst district were 10,543,743 gallons.
and for the Fourth 2,5S0,195. For
some years it has been considered
that ten million gallons made a big
showing. but the former comes to 1904
with the figures stated.

MN I1tIlaUt QAatINit0As
Philadt lila, Jan. 2.--The complete
collapse OF Dr. Irvine's attempted pre-
sentiment against Bishop Talbot is
foreshadowed IN an admission made
by DR.. Bodine. DR.. Bodine said that
after he bad conferred with the other
members of the board Of inquiry. he
may. within the next day or so, have
an important statement to issue touch
ing the case.
Il is understood that the Hunting
don vestrymen, who declare they have
not signed a presentment, are prepar-
ing in writing a formal reputation
of their desire to appear as presenters
against the bishop. This, 1t is stated,
will be sent to DR.. Bodine, and that
DR.. Bodine has reasons TO know the
reputation will soon be forthcoming.
Authorities on canonical law de-
clare that II these populations are
filed with DR.. Bodine the presentment
will be uncanonical and that 1t will
fall of its own weakness.
These same canonical authorities
were of tn opinion uat Dr. Bodine
could make only two statements at
this stage of the case. These are:
First-That the presentment has
been withdrawn by the presenters.
Second-That the members of the
board, being officially in possession of
sufficient Reputation of signatures to
desprive the document of its canonical
standing, had decided among them
selves that there was nothing before
the board for its consideration.

has been of inestimable service TO

the situation, the total assets Of the

600, contribution from state. $4,000.
"The city of Baltimore furnished the
institute with a site and it seems
reasonable 10 expect that It would not
do less when the institute is ready to
rebuild.

what 1t has now. say s265,OOO, would
provide a suitable building, the site
being given by the city
III this be arranged, it will give me
great pleasure to furnish that sum,
