The first Pacific coast wine-grower to engage in the industry on com mercial basis was Jean L. Vignes, a Frenchman, who arrived in Califor- mia eighty-four years ago. Grape vines were first planted in California by the missionaries at San Gabriel, about 1770, but the wines they made were only for their own use and for medi- cinal purposes. M Vignes, who had come from the Sandwich Islands, es- tablished himself near Los Angeles, and within ten years was the owner of a big and prosperous vineyard. He died fifty years ago. California wines have now become justly famous throughout the world. As to the ori- gin of the grape vines of California, historian differ. Some aIlege that the first grapes were grown by the fathers from seeds of raisins, while others allege that the missionaries secured roots or cuttings from Spain Or from Mexico. California once boasted the largest grape vine in the world. It was on a hacienda near Santa Barbara, and formed bower gGverfng an area of 10000 square feet.

M. Aristide Briand, who succeeded M. Poincare as French premier, and whose cabinet recently fell before the onslaughts of Georges CIemenceau, ''wrecker of cabinets will pass his 6fty-first milestone today. ''The LIoyd-George of France,'' as M. Bri- and is often called, was born in Nantes, March 28, 1862. His resemb- lance to the English reformer is phy- sicaI as well as political, and he might well be taken for a brother of the Welshman.
 On several previous occasions M. Briand has been laid away in the grave, politically, and his enemies, shedding crocodile tears have said, Well, that is the last of poor Bri- and. Oui' But there has always

Her grandfather, Camp Meeting John Allen, was fla nous in the United States and Can ada for his vitriolic attacks the Btage. and always referred to the theatre as the gateway to he'll" Mime.

For nearly a century Crete, or Can dia, has been known as the "isle of unrest" but now, as a result of the Balkan war, it's people may at last find peace. The agitation for a re-
 union with Greece, which has been carried on for four-score years, would have been crowned with success long ago, in all probability, except for the intercession of the protecting Pow CTS. It was forty-six years ago to- day, March 28, 1867, that western Flu rope put it's finger in the Cretan pic. On that date Austria, Prussia, Swift zerland and Italy joined in a polite request to the Sublime Porte to give up Crete. The Sultan as politely declined the proposition, and there the matter rested for a time. The Cretan insurrection famed forth with renewed vigor, and was marked by horrible atrocities on both sides.
 In recent years Russia, Great Brit ain, Italy and France have been the protectors of Crete. The ''isle of un- rest'' was the principal bone of con. tention in the Greco-Turk war of 1897, and in the following year the Powers demanded the withdrawal of the Turkish troops. Since then the Powers have kept warships constantly in Cretan waters, and the recent with drawaI of these vessels marked the final success of the Cretan patriotic cause.
 The demand of the Cretes has been, not for an independent government, but for reunion with Greece. The majority of the people are Hellenic in descent and language, and the major ity are Christians With the with drawa1 of the Turkish troops and the ships of the Powers the few Mos Iens have fared badly, according 10 reports of unprejudiced observers. An imated by revenge, the Cretan Chris tians are said to have persecuted the followers of the Prophet with all the ferocity of which they were them selves the victims
 For years the Cretes have attempted to send delegates to the Greek parlia- ment, and the Greeks have been anx- ious to receive them, but the objec- tions of the Powers have made it necessary to refuse. As for the pro- tecting Powers, their sympathies have been with the Cretes, but the neces- sity of maintaining the Turkish sta tus quo was against any manifesto tion of that sympathy. The Balkan war aided the Powers to escape from an unweIcome situation, and they hastened to do so. Before that the Powers in Crete were in the position of the man holding a bull by the horns, who could neither hang on nor let go with safety.
 The island, ancient1y called Idaea, and called Creta by the Greeks, Can dia by western Europeans and Kirid by the Turks, is 3,33O square miles in extent and has a present population of 34O,00O. The larger part is noun tainous and devoted to the grazing of sheep and goats. The growing of olives, grapes and oranges and the breeding of siIkworms constitute the principal industries.
 Venize1os, the great man of the Balkans" was born in Crete, and the island has supplied no small number of soldiers for the Greek army in the last war on the hated Turks. The Cretans have been the bravest of the warriors and many of them have been mentioned for conspicuous vaIor.

 The new concern is in the ice busi- ness to stay. it is given out. While families cannot be supplied this year they will be taken care of next season. as big crop will be harvested
 The coming of the new concern has dissuaded several parties from plans to build their own houses and store ice on their own account next winter. These large users were bound that they never again would pay the high prices. that have ruled so far this season.
 Men who are familiar with the ice business in Danielson say that ice can be cut and delivered here at a. profit on the schedule Of reasonable prices that prevailed last year, when no one made any objection to the charges. and claim that what has been done before can undoubtedly be done again, notwithstanding that it is now costing slightly more to do business.

TROLLEY EXTENSIONS.
HePed For Under New Management
 Big Business Assured.

Following the visit here of Manager Samuel Anderson of the Eastern Con- nect1cut lines of the Connecticut com- pany. President w. w. Perkins of the Shore Line company and Vice Presi- dent Storrs of the Connecticut con- pany, action is anticipated on several matters having to do with local trol- ley line facilities these matters having been hanging fire for long time. One thing Of particular interest heard Of Wednesday is the stated inclination Of the trolley road people to extend their line from DayVllle to Williamsville. for the business that can be given the road by the Killingly Manufacturing company. w. l. Bullard of the mill company says that at least 4,O00. 900 pounds of freight business a year can be turned over to the trolley people. and, of course, residents of Williams Vile are anxious to have the exten- sion of the road made a passenger carrying business. Another trolley line extension talked of is a short one rom the East killingly station or thereabouts to the mill of the Interna- uonal Cotton company. Just when these extensions will come and an other with them to Attawaugan and Ballouville is. and always has been, an uncertain matter, but the chances for getting the improvements seem bet ter than ever.

BARGAIN ICE,
To Be Furnished Local Consumers by New Company-PIenty Con1inq From Quinebaug Lake.

A new ice company enters the Dan telson field this (Thwsday) morning and marks its advent by a sharn cut from the prices that those whom it will serve have been paying for ice this season.
 At the very start they will have all the business they can handle as prac- tlcally all the big users in the business section have tumbled over themselves to get ice at the lower rates, and rela- tive to this one of them said Wednes- day: Can you blame us? We have been paying practically double the price we did last year. Look at this bill that 1 have just paid. No more of that for me; I'm going to buy my ice from the man that sells it the cheapest. There is just about as much sentiment in me on this propo Sif1on as there is in the fellow who soakS 1t to me on price when he gets a chance"
 = The ice that is to be delivered here rom the new concern is coming from the houses at Quinebaug lake, where the entire borough supply was cut for many years. This ice was not bar- vested last winter, but is some that has been stored there from the pre- vious winter, It is heavy ice of good quality, The first deliveries are to be the starting of the business having been in progress for several days.
 Only large users of ice are to he supplied by the new concern. fo. +he supply at the lake is not sufficient to meet a surprising demand from fa,o fly trade. Both hotels, the narl~a+v and saloons of Danielson. drug stores and ice cream parlors are to shift their ice patronage this morning and they will use about all of the ice that is a. the lake-enough to supply them until the first of the year price as low as 20 cestts a hundred is quoted by the new concern to the large users taken on by them,
