VINTAGE OF WINE.
Product for 1909 Is Shortest in History
 of Business.

London, December 1s.-tSpecial. )-The vintage of wine for the year of 1909 will go down to posterity as one of the very worst years on record. With the excep- tion of sherry, all wines show shortage in quantity and a poorness in quality
 This state of things, according to the reports is attributed to the bad weather which was general over the wine pro- ducing countries of Europe. As to sher- ry conditions were not so bad in Spain and the quality will be goods as the weather during the vintage was very favorable, but the quantity is not so great as was expected, being only about 8 per cent more than last year.
 Burgundy Is worse than for 50 years. Only about one-sixth of the usual Quan- tity will be produced. Champagne is much below the average in quality and quantity.
 Only about one-third of the average yield of claret will be produced. The fine weather of the last part of Sep tember, whgn the grapes were gath cred. will materially help the quality. which will be good. Port will ~~ under the average in quality.

ceeded with great caution in the initia- ton of prosecutions. MT. Knox, when he began the famous suit against the Northern Securities company, announced that the government would not run amuck among the trusts-a policy that has ever since been pursued Nor is 1t at all likely that the government flushed with it's Standard Oil victory, will pro- ceed to enforce the dissolution of every combination of capital organized in con travention of the law.
 The reason is plain. It is that govern mental policy, even under MT. Roosevelt, ran counter to the prohibitions of the Sherman law. "In the modern business world" said Mir. Roosevelt in one of his messages, with his characteristic dog matism, combinations are absolutely necessary. This is view widely pre- valent just now, and it is substantially that held by President Taft. Correlative with 1t is the belief, or hope, that great corporations can be induced or compelled to render valuable public service with, out oppression or extortion. Thus tho trust policy of the government tends in a direction other than that contemplated by the Sherman act, which was intended to destroy rather than to protect and control. Regulation, not destruction, is the keynote of that policy, and the Sherman law. stands. somewhat in the way of 1t. In fact. ths whole trust

SAVED FROM
WATERY GRAVE
David Vestal Pulls two Little
Girls Out of Quarry.
BREAKS THROUGH ICE
In Water Twenty Minutes
Before Rescued.
With Forty Feet of Water Below
Them, Locked in Each Others
Arms, They Battle for Life.
BREAKS THROUGH ICE

To have felt the clutch of death by
drowning was the experience OF Lulu
and Mary Packer, nine and twelve
year old daughter OF MIR. and Mrs.
Oscar Packer, of Patterson street,
just after noon today, when the girls
were tempted to seek sport on the
treacherCus ice OF the old SOckera!
quarr.es at Park and Patterson street
now USED as a Gumplng pit by the
city. 1t was almost a miracle that
saved them.
About half after one o'clock David
Vestal, passing the quarry, noticed
two children walking about in the
center of the pond. The thought
struck him that a catastrophe might
lmrk beneath the fast melting ice.
He turned to take another look but
the children were nowhere to be
seen. Just then their cries Of dis
tress was borne to his ears.
Running to the edge of the water
and calling Justify fer help enroute,
he saw the girls bobbing up aad
down like corlls in the center of q
yawning hole which tod the treach-
cry Of the ice. Beneath, forty feet
of water waited to close over their
forms. Several men attracted by Mr..
Vestal's shouts made for the spot.
He had already placed boards out
from the shore in an attempt to reach
| the youngsters. Ladders were
quickly procured from the home OF
Steve Swanton nearby and one of the
men walked hurriedly out OF pull them
from the hungry waters. In the
meantime, the younger girl who had
been in the water fully twenty min
utes, had struggled to the edge of the
ice, and with the courage of which
herOines are made, extended a hand
10 herl less fortunate sister, thus
preventing her sinking beyond help.
Shouts from the shore to "hold on"
encouraged the little Carnegie medal
maiden in her perl.Dus efforts to
save the life OF her sister.
Not until the two victims and their
rescuer We're safe on mother earth
did the bystanders draw a full breath
and even then the narrowness of the
escape could be measured in blanched
cheeks and hysterical exclamat' 'ons
of relief. A peculiar incident of the
affair is the fact that during the past
summer one OF the sisters lust
escaped drowning in the same quar-
ry.

THE SMoKESTAcKS OF STEAM.
 SHIPS.

The smokestacks on ocean vessels of recent years have been made to slope backward more particularly to give the steamer a rakish air. the masts also being given the same slope. As to the effect on the draft. there is slight one, as the wind pressure on the front of the stack sloping up and over the top of the stack is more apt to draw the smoke out than to cut it off. but from all we are aware of, this seems to have been held of a secondary consider ation. The shape of the smokestacks also is changing from round to oval. SO as to present less surface at the front. If you compare the steamers with the sloping and straight smoke stacks. in one case the former, while motionless. still appears to have life. while the rigidity of the other gives it an appearance of stiffness even while under considerable speed.
