Pledge Themsalves to Sell to the Wine-Makers’ Corpor- ation Only. Declare That the San Francisco Dealers Are Threatening the Industry. HEALDSBURG, CAL., June 5.—Healds- burg’s business streets presented a busy appearance to-day, for vineyardists from all parts of Sonoma County were here to attend a meeting of grape-growers and winemakers, under the auspices of the Farmers’ Club. The meeting was called tooraer by W. N, Gladden, and standing- room was at a premium. P. C. Rossi, the first speaker, pointed out the great importance of viticulture to Sonoma County and California, and said the industry was threatened again by San Francisco dealers. “Three years sgo,” said he, “‘the Cali- fornia Winemukers’ Corporation was or ganized. At that time and for years previous grapes could be had for $6 to $8 a ton, and vineyardists were on the verge of bankruptcy. The corporation raised the price from that figure 1o $18 and $20 a ton. Now the dealers are afraid we are too strong for them, and are trying to break up the corporation. This can be accom- plished only by the fallure of the pro- ducer to properly support us. By this I mean if the dealers and their allies get what grapes they need, the dealers will be in a position to dictate terms. This meet- ing is the first of & series to be held throughout the vineyard districts of the State. We propose to start a big move- ment and pledge the producers to sell their crop to members of the corporation this season.” Rossi was followed by W J. Hotchkiss Andrew Sharboro, B. W. Paxton and who urgzed the growers to sell their grapes to no one not a member of the cor- poration.

She Had a Happy Hom: and No Cause Is Known for the Girl's Desperate Act. Emma Lemos, 18 years of age and the only danghter of L. Lemas, who resides at 25 Haight street, ended her life by her own hands at a very late hour last night. | No cause 1s known for the suicide, asthe young lady had a bappy home and was supplied with every necessity and many of the luxuries of life by her devoted parents. She retired last night about 11:30 o'clock, and a few hours later was discov- ered dead in her bed by her distracted parents. She had attached one end of a rubber bose to one of the gasjets in her room and bad then inhaled the deadly vapor through the other end, which she had inserted in | her mouth. Every effort was made to resuscitate the young lady, but without success. The Coroner was notified, and seeing that it was an unmisiakable case of suicide, per- | mitted the body to remain at the house. So far as could be learned this morn- ing there was absolutely no reason for Miss Lemos taking her life, as she had no trouble of any kind, at least so far as her parezts knew. Her parents attribute her desperate act 10 a fit of temporary insan ity. Monkey Bowed Out the Bow-Wow. A good story is told of a dog that one day discovered an organ-grinder’s monkey seated upon a bank within his master’s grounds and at once made a rush lor it The monkey, which was attired in jacket and hat, awaited the onset in tranquillity <0 undisturbed that the dog halted within a few feet of it to reconnoiter. The ani- mals took a long stare at each other, but the dog was evidently recovering from his surprise and was about to make a spring for the intruder, when the monkey raised his paw and saluted by liiting his hat, The effect was magical. The dog’s head and tail dropped and he sneaked off to the house, retusing to leave 1t until his polite but mysterious visitor had departed.— London Times.
