It should not be understood that the grape-sugar, of which Grape-Nuts Is made, has been,produced in the hu- man body. But this grape-sugar is made by much the same process as the body employs, and is produced by natural treatment of grains without any foreign substance whatever. It is made by the Postum Co. at Battle Creek, Mich. The result is perhaps the most highly nutritious food ever produced. Grocers keep ‘Grape-Nuts. 4 ing sunbaths, etc., daily in and about Cal- istoga.

It is to a friend and reads thusly: Well, yesterday morning a party of five left the hotel fully equipped and went hunting. 1 shot two deer and any quantity of doves and cottontalls with a Mauser rifie. 1 was the lucky one; pretty good for me, eh? But my luck did not stop there. On our way back I fell Into the creek. I had a pair of rubber boots on and when I pulled off my waders they were full of trout of the Mikiss variety.

RS —erEr DEMOLISHED A TROLLEY CAR. San Jose Express Train Crashed Into an Electric Car and Sent It Spinning Twenty-Five Feet Against a Telegraph Pole. HE 8Ban Jose express, southbound, crashed into electric car No. 1121 of the Solano and Sixteenth street line yesterday morning and was derailed. The car was demolished, and the escape of the motorman, J. L. Meeks, and Conductor Stanley was miraculous. The accident occurred at the crossing at Sixteenth and Harrison streets, and the electric car came dashing down the grade from Bryant street. Those who witnessed the collision—among them J. H. Terrill of the John Kelso Company—say that Signalman A. Blake had the guards down and was ringing his bell to warn everybody of the approaching train, which was a double header. The motorman was grappling with his brakes, which seemed to be unmanageable, and the car dashed through the guard and upon the track. The car was struck falrly in the center and thrown fullv twenty- five feet, hurled against a lamp post and telegraph pole, knocking these down and rebounding toward the train. The conductor jumped for his life, but Motorman Meeks stuck to his post and was found pinned beneath one of the seats. He was extricated and removed to St. Luke's Hospjtal, suffering from an ugly deep gash over his left eye, besides numerous superficlal scalp wounds. After the wounds were dressed by the hogpital physicians he was t ed over to the raflway physicians. Fortunately there were no passengers on the car. torman claims that the brakes failed to work.

DOCKED AMID DIFFICULTIES Transport Arizona Given a Berth. CENTENNIAL ALSO LAID UP ANOTHER INSPECTION OF THE LATTER BOAT. How Two Young Ladies Saw the Out- going Transport—The Rush Goes to Mare Island. After a great deal of maneuvering Chief Wharfinger Root succeeded in getting a berth for the big transport Arizona at Folsom-street wharf. Owing to her great length she required 475 feet of dock space | and also thirty feet of water in which to maneuver. The tugs Sea King and Reliance moved | | her in from the stream yesterday, but as | the barkentine S. G. Wilder was on ihe| same side of the wharf the Arizona will not be properly docked until to-day. The Wilder will be moved out into the stream and the Arizona will be moved | about twenty feet further up the dock. | As it is now her stern overhangs the | whart about twenty feet. The steamer Centennial also docked at | Folsom-street wharf yesterday. She came | | down from Hunters Point drydock, where | she had again been examined by the | United States authorities. On the sugges- | tion of the Inspector of Hulls and Bollers | | new plates are to be put in the Cen- | tennial’s boilers, and it is then thought | that the Government will accept her as a transport. The docking of the Arizona and the| Centennial at Folsom-street wharf will | | put the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company to a little trouble.

Among | the crowds at the end of Howard-street | | wharf was an old Frenchman, who got | very excited when he saw the transport | get under w. He waved his handker- | chlef and hurrahed frantically for a few mihutes and then he subsided and re- | turned the handkerchief to his pocket. | Now the Frenchman had’ two handker- chiefs. One of them was for general use ‘;und in the other he had 32 50 done up for safekeeping. Unfortunately for him when | his enthusfam again | he pulled out the andkerchier which | contained the money, and the $2 50 scat- | | tered among the crowd.

The tug went | out with Adjutant General Barrett and a | number of army officers to the Rio de| | Janeiro and ten minutes after she had disappeared under a full head of steam the young ladies put in an appearance on the wharf. The tug did not come back | to the landing again until the Rio de Jan- elro had put to sca. Nevertheless, when she came back to land her passengers the first to step off her were the two young ladies, who, according to Mrs. An- drews, had missed thefr boat. Mrs. An- drews Is still wondering how they got | on board, but the matter is easy of ex- planation. The young ladles are friends | of Assistant Chlef Wharfinger Scott, and the sight of their disappointed faces was too much for him, so he hired a. white- hall and rowed them out into the stream. There he was lucky enough to intercept | the Markham and put them aboard. It was awful hard work rowing, as Mr. | Scott’s hands will testify. There are three | big blisters on each palm and Harry will | carry this memento of his gallantry for | several days to come. The United States steamer Rush went to Mare Island yesterday afternoon. Or- ders came to her captain during the morning and as soon as steam was got up the vessel got under way and steamed up through Raccoon Straits. It is be- lieved that she has gone to the navy yard to have a battery of modern rapid fire guns put aboard. About three thousand women crossed the bay on the 11 o'clock trip of the Tiburon yesterday. They are the moth- ers, sisters, aunts and cousins of the League of the Cross Cadets now en- camped at Santa Rosa. They wiil spend the day with their relatives at Camp Montgomery and will return with them on a special train this afternoon. truce was declared yesterday by Quarantine Officer Craw of the State Board of Horticulture and the commis- sion merchants. In consequence none of the wormy fruit that came on the Sac- ramento ~ River steamers yesterday morning was thrown overboard. The commission merchants ask for a delay until to-morrow morning In order to no- tify their clients on the river, and they were given the time asked for.' Mr. Craw was very willing to grant thelr request when they explained that this practice of shipping wormy and inferfor fruit to San Francis¢o had been going on for years and that it was only fair that the farmers should be notified that the prac- tice should stop. Some of the commis- sfon merchants took a very high handed stand with the State quarantine man and | at one time threatened to throw him off | the wharf. Mr. Craw, however, pointed out to them that there was a fine of $5000 or imprisonment for five years at- tached to Interfering with a State of- ficer in the execution of his duty. So the commission merchants came to the con- clusion that Quarantine Officer Craw was a good man to leaye alone. W. Williams, note teller of the Hiber- nia Bank, denies the story of his rescue by E.

[ LOCAL DEALERS AROUSED DEATH BLOW TO CALIFDBNIA'S[ CHERISHED INDUSTRY. | | i ‘War Stamps Should not Be Put on | Bottles Until the Wines Are Ready to Go on the Market. Treasury Department, Office of Com- "missioner of Internal Revenue, Washing- ton, D. C., July 5, 1898.—Sir: Tysen & Tot- ten, 24 Dey street, New York City, have | written to this office under date of June 25, stating that they have large bins in | their cellars and it Is their custom to have on hand thousands of bottles of wine, which are kept to age. They also state these are not ready for sale, as they are simply corked and have no caps or labefis, which caps or labels are to be af- fixed when sold and ready to be delivered. They further state that they do not bot- tle these wines themselves. The wines are sent to a regular bottler, and he is paid for bottling. They ask when they bottle wines in this way, without caps and labels, to be placed in bins, if it is | necessary for them to stamp them at that | time, or if they can wait until capped and | labeled for sale. B They have been referred to you. You rules in such a case that when the wine has been bottled it be regarded as having | been bottled for sale, and the stamps must be affixed to such bottles at the! time of bottling, no matter how long aft- erward they may be kept for aging pur- poses. Respectfully yours, N. B. SCOTT, Commissioner. This ruling of Commissioner Scott has set all of the wine men of California intu a frame of mind anything but pleasant. Not that they wish in any man- ner to avold paying their portion | of the war tax, but the terms| and conditions imposed by the | ruling power at Washington are such | that, they contend, will deal a death | blow to the wine industry.of this and every State if not modified. All of the wine men and bottlers are charitable enough to belleve that the Commissioner | is wholly ignorant of the wine business, | or he would never have made such a | rule. Some idea of the terrible burden it | fastens upon this industry may be had | from the remarks of two of the leading dealers of this city—Arpad Hara ¢, 0 the sparkling wines, and Charles E. | Bowen, of the sweet and dry wines | Mr. Haraszthy does not ~believe | that this ruling should be taken seriously. He said: | There surely must have been some mistake in | this matter. Why, if that would follow every champagne house in the United States would | have to o out of business within twenty-four } hours. The putting of the wines in bottles in | the first e is not bottling in the sense | of the act, it is a portion of the making of the | champagne. We are obliged to keep the stuff in | bottles for two or three years before we know | what we have. In that length of time every Dottle has to be handled about 250 times a year. Down in the damp cellars where this work is | done the stamps would not stay on the corks | but a short time before rubbing off, and then | they would have to be replaced.

He said that the sweet and dry wines are kept in | bottles for three and four vears in order 1o determine what kind of ‘an article the grape juice makes, It is not infrequent that whole lots of hundreds of gallons have to be drawn off and clarified again. If this had to be done with a lot of 10,000 or 20,000 bottles, the bottler would have to pay a double tax, a thing that the act does not contempiate.
