Several weeks ago Homer Daven-

In a letter writtcn TO Secretary Taft,

LARGE DECREASE In
CHAMPAGNE IMPORTS

WASHINGTON, May 6.-There were
nearly 100000 quarts of champagne
imported into the United States last
year This country. is steadily pro-
crossing as champagne-drinking
country. In 1886 there were imported
2,s0o-oOo quarts Of champagne. in round
numbers, showing an increase up to
January /, 1907 of about 100 per cent
in the consumption of champagne.
This year the foreign champagne is
apparently feeling the competition OF
American champagne. For the nine
months of the current fiscal year. end
ing last March, the falling off was 1EO.-
600 quarts. During last March there
were $1,000 quarts less imported than
for the month Of March Of last year.
The cause of this recent decrease was
found. on investigation ny the Bureau
of Statistics, TO be the rapid increase
of the American champagne industry.
Two million bottles a year of Ameri-
can champagne are now made not
counting the champagne that is charg-
ed with carbonic acid by artificial
methods.
The number of American producers
Of champagne has Quadrupled i'm re-
cent years. and the output has mort
than quadrupled in the past decade
New York state is the largest producer
OF American champagne. probably two
thirds Of II being made In that state
the remaining one-third being made in
Missouri, Ohio and California. The
bureau adds that it is the almost uni
form expression of opinion of vino
experts, whether engaged in importa-
tion Of champagne or otherwise. that
the American wine compares favorahly
with that produced in ether countries
and is steadily improN ing in quality
with the increased experience of
American producers.

forced the window sash ont, calling to
his wife to bring the baby. Climbing

roof and dropped to the ground.
Flames prevented Zuver from re-en-

NO BEAR FOR SENATOR PROCTOR
Big Traps Set on Mount Pco Did Not
Secure Any of Brun Family.

Rutland, Nov. 2l.-United States
Senator Redfield Proctor, who has Just
left Vermont for Boston, prior to re-
turning to Washington for the winter,
has passed the last two weeks trap
ping bears near his hunting lodge at
Mount Pico, thirteen miles east of this
city. Senator Proctor passed most OF
the summer at the lodge and returns
to Washington much improved in
health.
Bear signs were seen about the
camp frequently during the summer
and the senator determined to make
an attempt to secure one oil the AMI
mails as soon as cold weather APP
preached and the fur would be in good
condition. He had two immense bear
traps made by blacksmiths OF the YER
mont Marble Co. of pattern mucn
larger than is sold by trap dealers.
The huge machines would weigh nifty
pounds each and SO stout were the
springs that it was necessary to use
levers in setting the traps. The traps
were baited and put out on Mount
Pico, a famous resort for bears, during
the latter part Of October, and left
until few days ago. The senator,
however, was compelled to return to
Washington without bear rug.

EXCELLENT PLAY TONIGHT
1.-THE Heart Of Maryland" Which viii
Be Seen at the Opera House

Playgoers of this city will have an
other opportunity this evening at the
Bennington opera house of witnessing
David Belasco's great play of love and
war, The Heart Of Maryland a
drama in which the romance OF wo-
mans love illumines the realism Of a
story in which the interest is as con-
tinuous as the characters engaged in
its narration are typically individual
lied. There is no denying that this
play is worthy of the most liberal
patronage of theater-goers. 1t is a
splendid production of dramatic skill
and enterprise. Its success has been
the subject of more discussion among
playgoers than any other play, and
yet nothing is easier to understand.
The play makes the most potent APP
peal to the hearts Of all play-goers; it
succeeds as well in the South as in the
North, for the simple reason that it
is drama which contains a heart
story for all races and people. From
the rise of the curtain until the end OF
the play the interest never flags for a
moment.
