10 WORLD'S LARGEST VINEYARD Visit to Senator Stanford's Great Farm in Northern Oalifornia. THROUGH THE WONDERFUL WINE VAULTS Government Warehouse and the Tax—Miles of Ditches ana Army of Employes — Something About Hoises, Hogs and Sheep, Brandy Visa, Cal, May 80.—[Special to Tux Beg.]—I write this letter on Senator Stan ford's famous North California ranch. I bave visited Palo Alto and the horse farm near San Fr but they are nothing as compared with this great estate. The Vina ranch lics in the heart of the Sacra- mento valley. It is about 200 miles north of San Francisco and it comprises miles of the finest soil in California. It contains more than 059,000 acres and it has upon it the biggest vineyard of the world, Its wine and brandy production is so ereat that Uncle Sam has had to put up a bonded warehouso upon it to collect his taxes, and this sware- house covers more than two acres of space. In it today there is stored more than $1,000, 000 worth of brandy, and before this is sold the United States government must receive from it tho enormous sum of $300,000 in reve- nuo taxes. Tho winery of this yast estato is more like a great factory than a collection of farm buildings. Its brick structures cover acres, and from where I write the great vines cover the earth almost as far as I can 8eo. You can ride for days over this ranch and not see the half of its wonders. On one part of it 80,000 sheep are nibbling at the sweet grass, and tho lambs among these, which were born this spring, number more than 7,000. In another place thero is a herd of nearly 2,000 hogs, and it has dairies which are supplicd by the finest of Holstein registered cattle, and the horse department tontains hundreds of valuable horses, some of whichuare worth fortun: In riding this moruing with Captain MeIntyro, the mana- ger of the ranch, 1 happened to say some- thing about fruit trees, and he told me there were thirty miles of such trees along the Irrigating ditches, and he said: ‘‘We have Just put out a little patch of 6,000 trees this spring,” “Six thousand trees?" said I. *Do you call that a little patch? Most men would consider it an immense orchara.” */Oh,"” said he, we have just planted 7,000 more in the other part of the ranch and our feuit crop is a very profitable one. We had last year over 11,000 tons of prapes, and it takes an army to pick the fruit. There are in round numbers about 3,000,000 grape vines on the ostate, and when they are in full bearing we ought to have a product of about 40,000,000 pounds per year." This estate is a part of the property which Benator Stanford has presented to the Le- land Stanford, Jr., university. It is worth millions and he is spending a greav deal of money from his private fortune upon it and thus increasing its value every year. Just below here is a ranch of 20,000 acres more, which is also given to the university, and his Palo Alto ranch, where the college is lo- cated, contains 8,000 acres of valuable land. Au Army of Workmer It takes an army of men to manage an es- Vate like this, and on the Vina ranch alone the employes range from 250 to 1,500 in num- ber. 1t cost last month more than $1,000 to board the hands upon it, and the board bill of the workmen often runs up to $4,000 a month. It is interesting to know how such a farm Is hanaled. Everything is systematic and businesslike. The ranch is divided up into departments, each of which has its head, and theso heads take care of the men und them, and report daily to Captain McIntyroe, The hands are parceled oui just like the soldiers of an army andthe forces are put where they will do the most good. There are about 150 farm horses and a ike number of mules almost constantly at k, and the Irrigation departments alone require the riding of its fc nan o distance of nearly twenty-five miles every day. than 800 mites of i place and there are fifty mi through the vineyards alon this number of work horse: saddle horses of the forem: tho carriage horses and the high-bred horses which are brought here in hundreds frc Palo Alto. There is a horse department he which has an establishment almost as wrge as that of the Pulo Alto ranch. It has its training school and its kindergarten for the colts, and 1t _takes a number of grooms und of skilled horsemen to mauage vhem. During my visit to it today I saw some of the most famwous of the senator's horses, and took pictures of two which are to be shipped to the czar of Rus: in exchange for some Orloft stallions which the czar is going to send to Senator Stanford. In the horse de. partment, as in every other, the work goe: on by the clock and ac ling to rule. The horses are fed at 4 o'clock in the morning and the colts are worked every d Six quarts of oats a day is considered cnoggh for a horse, though the feed is eraduated ne- cording to their work and strength. 'The colts are put into the kindergarten for fast training at six months, e 3 bworn at nor whipped, and they are as friendly as dogs and gentle as kittens, Boarding in Camps. Nearly all the employes on this estate are bachelors, They are divided up into camps and the buildings of one of the chiof camps cover about two acres and can aecommodate 500 men. Tho vineyard camp contans a col- ony of about seventy Frenchmen, who man- age their own board and who receive so much wages and an allowance for eating They do their own cooking and like win with their meals. They use about 600 gal- lons o month and y r red wine, wh they mix with water. Here and ther tered over tho estato are other camps, tho most of which are furnished with Chinese cooks by the manager, and where they and board at the expense of the furm. have comfortablo rooms and good food and their wages run from §1 o day and board up ward. Tho foremen ry from $35 to $40 a month. Tho superintendents got $t a month and some of the skilled men much larger salavies, The pay roll of this ranch runs from §10,000 to 20,000 a month, and the rulos are industry, obedience and tempor- ance. A fow Chinamen employed upon the place, but the wajority of the lands are Awmericans. Miilions in Brandy. I spent some time in going winery and the brandy vaults. thing is managed in the most economical and most scientific way, and the senator is trying to prove that California will produce the best bhrandy in the wor Hehasopened a war nouse in the east and he ships his wines and brandies away by the car loads, During the month prior o my visit he sent away 120 of brandy, and be belioves that port of California is better adapted to making of brandy than of wine. Cap. tain Melntyre tells me that the secret of making good brandy is to take out the fusel oils, but to leave the cssential oils and parts necessary to be oxidized to make it proverly, and the machivery heve is adapted to that purpose.- I wish I could describe it I walked inand out a great nogshes each of which would hold” us much 1 eallons, and I saw vats in which 10,000 and 12,000 were stored. In one 1 the brandy a8 Fun through coil after coil of pipes, and in anothor I found that it was vaporized again and again, each time losing some of its fusel oils. Seven great vats holding 8,000 gallons of brandy are used for this purpo and outside the winery 1 saw hundreds of great barcels connected with pipes iuto which the wineand b, part of the processes. In addition to and mules are the and the men, through th The cost of the build- g of this brandy factory is more than £150,000, aud they ave lighted by electricity The cooper shop of this establishment is worth notice. ‘I'he cooperage and the stor- age vaults alone will hold 1,500.000 of gallons, and the casks of these vaults are so tall that if Benjamin Harrison could stand on Grover Cleveland's head he could not more than reach to the top of them.

A government gauger is here most of the time, and there is a government officor always in charge of it When any of this brandy is taken out for sale the money for the tax has to be put down beforo it can be gotten, It is liko the buying of postage stamps. There is no credit to the United States, and you have to pay cash, During the last month 817,822 was given to the government for taxes, and some- thing like $100,000 worth of taxcs have, I am told, been paid for brandy which is still un- shipped, and_in_nddition to this, as I havo said beforo, Mr. Morse, the government store keeper, tells me there is due Unclo Sam_at least 50,000 worth of brandy tax. The owners of the brandy have a right to leave it in the warchouse from three to five yoars, but they are not allowed to move a barrel intil the tax is paid. This bonded warehouse is said to be the lar st in the world. It is lighted by electricity, and in walking through it between the thousands of barrels you secm to be in tho very catacombs of barrels How the Vineyard is Managed. woyard embraces about six squaroe miles of territory. The whole is laid off with perfect regularity into blocks of uniform size and streets of regular wiath. It fact a city of grapes. liach block con- 5 about 1,400 vines, and tho main streets which run through them from cast to west are forty-eight feet wide and they are cut up b sixteen feot in width. There are about 680 vines to the acre, and I was surprised to find that the vines were trimmea down almost close to the earth every yes Some of the vines are very old and others have just been planted. The grapes are ripe about the last of July and the picking of the grapes begins about the 18t of Augnst. They aro picked in boxes holding fifty pounds each, and there are 12,000 of these boxes ready for use, The picking is done by gangs of men and boys, and at its height about 1,000 men are employed. The vineyards ars plowed regularly and their cultivation is carefully watched with hoe and harrow. Captain’ MeIntyre has been for years en- wed in vine growing and everything is managed on_ a scientific basis, Iiven in the picking of the grapes the greatest care is used. The grapes arc sorted as they are picked. The men gather the grapes in pairs, each man carrying & box. As they go from vine to vine they put the bad grapes in one box and the best ones in the other, and these are used for different grades of wine o brandy. The picking always begins carly in , and if the weathe very hot it is suspended and resumed only late in the afternoon and ca d on into the night, so that the pickers work the usual number of hours, A good picker ought to average forty boxesor a ton of grapes a day, and some men can pick as much as a ton and a half. ¥eed on a California Farm. It may interest you to know what men eat inone of these big farm boarding houses. The cooks have to make out orders for just item has to be specified. From a monthly order before me 1 see that they consumed iast mouth three barrels of sugar, one barrel of rolled oats, and large quantities of cornstarch, maca roni, beans, peas, sausage. rice, Sago, tea and coffeo and meat. Nearly all ‘the meat and vegetables come from the farm, and all of the butter and milk. The men havo their breakfasts at a. m., and are allowed forty minutes to eat. At 6 they go out to work with their teams and at 11:80 they stop_for dinner and lay off until a quarter of 1. T stop worlcat 6 and have supper at7. As Icould sco they scemed to enjoy them- selves and to bo a sort of happy-go-lucky crowd. ‘They have a baso ball club of thei own, and there is a dancing club which the keep up. Some of them are good boxers but_ they ncarly all belong to that class of workmen which you find in Californ; drift along from place to place, wor along the coust from Los Angeles to Seattl and not secming to care for a home of their own. A Look at tho Horsos. Ispent some time in looking at the fine horses on this ranch. There are 383 which were brought here in s al cars from tho Palo Alto ranch, ard there is a race track hereof a mile in length for the training of them. The kindergarten is a little pen con- taining a circular track, perbaps a quarter of a mile in length, and the trainer stands in the center of this with a whip aund cracks t the colts as they run about it. Sena- his theory as d he: certain muscles which s going fast that are aking his is never 1y theso mus- the germ of them, but nd fiabl 1 velieve by the cult on of these mus by speeding the colts that they grow and become stronger from rto year and the colt thus acquires his perfection. The chief thing is to prevent them overdoing. You can ruin the training of ye: in an hour, and the greatest trouble is in getting good trainers. My idea is to excite the colts to do their best without over exertion, and this done from day to day y of the great horses of the day \ they were young would ha 1 believe, made them to do better now doing.” 1 am told h at Vina that the czar has offered to_send Senator Stanford any thi; he wants in his stables in return for a couple of good horses from Pulo Alto for breeding purpos Itis not kuown positively what horses will be seut to Russia, but the train- ers here think that among those picked out will be the stallion Good Gift.

'THE CHRISTIANA TRAGEDY Reoollections of Slave Trade Days Before the War, CASTNER HANWAY TRIED FOR TREASON Bloody Riot In Laneaster, County, Penn- sylvania, in 1851, Between Negroes and United States OMoers and Lts Sequol, Last week Tie Beg chronicled the death of Mr. Castner Hanway at Wilber, Neb., May 20, Brief reference was mado 0 & highly intoresting episode in Mr. Hanway's life. Ky year he had the distinction of being the only man living who had ever been ried for treason against the United States. © charge arose out of his connection with what is known as tho Christiana tragedy, which occurred in Lancaster county, Penn- sylvania, on September 11, 1851, The trial opened on November 30 of the same year in the United States circuit court at Philadel- phia, and, atter lasting for seventeen days, ended in a verdict of acquittal. Briefly stated the \‘m‘y is as follows: At that time, which wasfn the old slavery days ten years before the war, Mr. lanway was a miller in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and then about 80 years old. Ho had veen born and reared & Quaker. He was anup- right man of gonerous impulses whose foel- ings rebellod against the injustice of slavery, 50, like many others of his peculiar faith, ho was an ardent abolitionist. He used fre- quently to assist fugitive negroes in thoir perilous journeys toward the Canadian line, and it was often that he had from one to five of the hunted. creatures sceking refuge at his place. On one occasion he had as many aseleven, In fact he was the owner of one of the most celebrated *‘under- ground railroads” in that part of the coun- ry. . The Bloodhound Gang. There existed in that community a gangof heartless men who made it a business to kid- nap both fugitive and free negroes and spirit them over the Maryland line, when they were disposed of o regular slave dealers. This known as the “*Bloodhound Guang." This gang worked so industriously and made 50 muany raids that the negroes and their white sympathizers were in an almost con- stant state of alarm. The recognized leader of the ne- groes was a man of their own race named William Parker. himself a fugitive, He is described as having been a man of considerable intelligence and possessed of great physical courage. He was much re- spected by the whites ana bitterly hated by the gang, against whom he was fearless and outspoken in his defiauce. They determined to get himout of their way and not daring to try their usual method of kidnapping with him they concocted a scheme to com- pass lus overthrow through legal means. The Midnight Attack. In pursuance of their plan Parker’s former owner, whose name was Edward Gorsuch, his son and a neptew. one Dr. Price, went from Maryland to sPhiladelphia, where Gor- such obtayned the appointment of Henry H. Kline as deputy United States marshal for the special business they had in hand. Kline was described by Mr. Hanway as a worth- less character, and Price’s subsequent actions showed that he was something of a cowar . "T'he part, ly armed, then started for Lancaster county and arrived at Parker's houso at Christiana just before daybreak on the morning of September 11, 1851, Kline, the depu hal, pounded on the doorand demanded in the name of the United States the surrender of Parker and such other fugitives there might be in the place. There was no response to the summons, whereupon the door was again battered and a louder demand made for sur- render. Parker then told those on the in- side that he would never give himself up, and told his wife to blow the tin horn from the chamber window that had been agreed upon as a signal in time of trouble. In a very brief time nearly all the negroes in tho neighbor- hood were on the spot, a few of them armed with guns and pistols, but most of them car- rying corn knives and otner farm imple- ments that could be used as weapons. Hanway's Nerve, Mr. Hanway was quietly eating his break- fast at his home a mile away when 4 neigh- bor, named Lewis, hastily entered and told him that there was somé trouble down at Parker’s. Mr. Hanway at once mounted his hnrw and started for the place, Lewis fol- lowing on foot. On reaching the spot Mr. anway at once saw that the situation was critical, as the negroes were very much ex- ted and disposed to resent any assault upon leader. On the approach of Hanway and Lewis, Kline at once announced that he was a_deputy United States marshal, and ordered them to t in subduing the negroes, which hoth refused to do, and tried to persuade Kline to desist from interforing viith the blacks in their exeited condition, but Kline would listen to nothing and again ordered Hanway and Lewis to assist him, which they againrefused tado. A collision between the two parties av this time was ouly prevented by Mr. Hanway stepping be- tween them and quieting the now infurinted negroes, Hanway then started for home, taking along Dr. Price, against whom the negroes were particularly bitter, Mr. Hanway being de- termined, s he said, 1o have no hand in any- thing in opposition to United States au- thority, A Bloody Kiots They had not proceeded far, within hearing of the firing, when a riot occurred in which Gorsuch was killed and his son scriously wounded. On reaching home, after secing Price in a place of safety. Hunway sent his wifo with lint and linis to help in caring for the wounded. ng the next day that the authorities arresting all parties knotvu to have connection with the affaiv, Hanway t to Lancaster and gave himself up, offering to give bail, which was refused, and he and Lewis were sent to the county Jail, but as the sheriff was » personal friend their con- finement was merely nominal, About a couple of weeks afterwards they were in- dicted by thegrand jury on theeharge of high lwu‘lmuul taken to Mu\unu'nslug vrison, > they weve confined in company with .|.nn s Scarllet and thirty-five negre until the 30th. of November 1851, when the trial of Mr, Hahway opened in the United tates circuit court at Philadelphia, before Judges Grier and Kuane. The famous Thad. Stephens was the leading counsel for defense and was assisted by Thomas Keller and John Read, the latter afterwards chief justice of Pennsylvania. Judge Cooper and others conducted the pro: tion, Hanway Was Acquitted, The trial lasted for seventeel i was full of interest. The jury remained out but a tew minutes, and returned with a ver- diet of nov guilty. All the o parties were eventually discharged, Hanway was the last survivor sons connected with the ur wrial, all the others having | higher court before hiw. man’ of distinguished appearance, more than six feet tall, with snow white \d flowing beard.

He came to Wilber in 1578, for the benefit of his health, which wuch improved by the change of climate, and has been living here in quiet and comfort ever since. To many of his neighbors this story, which 1is com- piled principally from his “own statements made some years ago, will be the first inti- mation that the quict gentleman they so well knew ever tok part in such exciting sccnes over fomly years 8go as these here recorded Mr, Hanway was oune tinguished Masons in the United Stal he being .a member of the Pittsburg Valley, Penusylvania, consistory, thirty-second degree. He was alsoan honorary member of every Masonic lodge in Penusylvania. He was highly respected wherever known, It was only rarely that he could be induced to talk about the most interesting exper ences of his life, and when they were re- ferred to his manner, though extremely modest, gave the inférence that he was rather proud of them than otherwise. e — Fatigue and exhaustion overcome by Bromo Seltzer.
