Charles A. Whittemore of Stockton flercely attacked the bill, declaring it the work of the “‘wine trust,” and making some insinuations against members of the club.

Mr. Gruenagle was 79 years old and up to six years ago had been in the service of the Southern Pacific Com- pany. Since his dismissal at that time is assigned | he had been very despondent, and this, ;added to the sickness of his wife, 72 years old, made him an invalid also. He and his wife were living with their married daughter and her husband, H.AMA Owens. t 9:15 o'clock yesterday morning fast, but declined to go and said he would remain in bed and await the arrival of the doctor. A féw seconds later the report of a firearm was heard and Gruenagle was found dead in bed, with blood flowing from his | temple and a revolver at his side. —_————— MRS. RAYMOND BROWN ENDS SERIES OF WAGNER LECTURES Talk on “Parsifal” Closcs City En- gagement of Woman That Pleased Musical People Here. Mrs. Raymond Brown gave the last of a series of lecture recitals on “The Musical Dramas of Wagner” at Lyric Hall yesterday afternoon. For the last week Mrs. Brown has entertained the music-loving pepple of this city with most interesting interpretations of the famous composer’s works, using for her subjects “The Ring,” “Tristan and I?;)l;le." “The Meistersinger” and ‘‘Par- sifal.’ The lecture on “Parsifal” yesterday afternoon brought Mrs. Brown’s en- gagement here to a close. —_———— Libel for Wages.

Whittemore said in part: For the first time it has been proposed to put the wine producers under the heel of the tax gatherer, an? the proposal is made at the instance of the large manufacturers. ~The agents of the trust go to the small winery the proprietor: ‘“You are well es- with us in shutting out these Let us put a tax on all wines. This will cut off the men who make only a few thousand xallons of wine, thus restrict- etition and lowering the price h a scheme would be impoe- sible were it not for the Eastern wine makers, who must afd sugar in thelr manufacture, because their grapes are too low in percent- age of al eugar. They cannot do Wwith- out the sugar: so the trust hopes to ket thelr consent 1o the tax In exchange for permission to use sugar. The aim of the bill is not what appears on its face, but a compromise by which the trust will get a tax crushing the .small_wine fakers as a result of a deal with the Eastern makers on the sugar question.

The wine trust, represented here by Percy T. Morgan, president of 3 oclation; P. C. Rossi of the Swiss-Itallan Colony, and others of the big wine men, is making over 100 per cent profit at the present low price for grapes, but it is not eatisfied with that, and wants to cut of grapes still more.

He succeeded in smoothing down the fiery member from somewhat, saying among other things: Congressman Bell's bill means what it says. It was prepared at St. Helena In consulta- tion with all the larger grape Erowers there- abouts. 1 was one of those Bell took into his confidence and 1 can say positively that he consulted no one of the San Francisco wine men until long afterward. Neither Mg nmor I knew either Mr. Morzan or Mr. Rossi at that time. The bill was drawn, not in the interest of the California Wine Company, but of the California grape growers, to prevent the use hing but grape julce in the manufacture e.

Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that char- coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries tnem out of the systanu Charcoal sweetens the breath after smokirg, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion; it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently : 1fe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of cat.rrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another,” but probably the best- charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart’s Absorbent Loz- enges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal and other harmless antiszptics in tablet form or vather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condi- tion of the general health, better com- plexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: *I ad- vise Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat: I also believe the liver is greatly benefited 1= the daily use of them; they cost but 25 cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I Velieve 1 get more and better char- coal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.” “If we | Stockton | exclusive. tures, broadcloths, etc. French gray and royal blue.

He said: I was a_member of the committee of wine men to whom Congressman Bell came with the draft of his proposed bill. We went over every clause with care, and recognized that it was almost hopeless to expect its passake. But we agreed it was an excellent measure, if for nothing more than as a declaration of ifornia principies. Eastern trade interests doing their best to hurt our industry by dentifying California with adulterations. We thought it well to show that we do not fear the most stringent regulation against adul- terations. We can stand it If the East can. So we told Bell to feel his way and vee what Only a fortnight ago the lead- ing Eastern publication in the wine trade con- tained a elanderous article purporting to de- cribe how California wines are made. Let us stand by the bill and contradict such slan- ders. Our exhibit of pure wines at St. Louis will do much to show what California wines really are. (Applause.) Influenced by the speeches he had listened to, Whittemore wanted the whole matter left to Mr. Bundschu, but the latter declined to assume the responsibility. After Voyle’'s motion ‘to reconsider had prevailed, the club decided to refer the resolution to a committee of five with power to cor- respond v ith Congressman Belf on the subject and present the views of the grape growers. Chairman Swett ap- pointed as the committee Messrs. Bundschu, Bruck, G. H. Malter of Fresno, Frank Swett of Martinez and B. A. Towne of Lodi. 2 At the morning session the club lis- tened to interesting practical talks by Professors Twight and Husmann on phylloxera and the “Anahelm dis- ease” in grape vines, several of the members adding suggestions of value in the discussions that followed. Chair- man Swett was authorized to appoint at his leisure a standing committee of three to consult with the president and regents of the University of Cal- ifornia and co-operate in obtaining an increased legislative appropriation for the department of viticulture at | the university, where the work in be- half of the vast grape and wine indus- try of the State has been greatly ham- pered by the reduction in availablé funds. The chalrman announced the following nominations for the club’s executive committee, which were unanimously adopted: W. C. Chis- holm, Windsor, Sonoma County; G. Lawrence, chairman of the San Joaquin County Viticultural Associa- tion; John T. Dore, Fresno County; F. H. Duffy, Santa Clara County; Frank T. Swett, Contra Costa Coun- ty; Bismarck Bruck, Napa County; A. ‘W. Gibbs, Santa Cruz County.. PLAN A BROTHERHOOD CAMP-MEETING IN JUNE | NEW FREE RECEIPT .CURES WEAK MEN. |THE FULL RECEIPT, FULL DIRECTIONS and DESCRIPTIVE Young Men of Episcopal Church Are Preparing for Religious Study in Hills Near Gilroy. The various chapters of the Brother- hood of St. Andrews, an Episcopal or- ganization of young men connected ' with the parishes of cities and towns in immediate proximity to the bay, have under consideration the project of a joint meeting for conference and religious purposes in some retired spot, to be held during the latter part of June. The place under consideration and likely to be selected is near the city of Gilroy. A site has been offered the camp, on which suitable buildings for meetings and shelter are available. No more beautiful location could be chosen than in the retired groves and the hillsides which overlook the valley at this point. The general plan is something like the camp-meetings that were held in early Methodist days, but will take rather the character of a summer school of religious study and meditation. The programme is being prepared by Tracy R. Kelley, William Harrison, H. Robert Bradin, George S. Baker, Newton Barry, J. C. Ashedo and J. R. Pringle. The sanction of the Bishop of the diocese has been secured. The support and co-operation of the clergy is enthusiastic. B — Killed by a Fall John H. Coe, a solicitor, 30 years old, was found dead at 7 o’clock yes- terday morning at the bottom of a flight of stairs leading to 19 Sixth street. A. C. Diebner, a bartender in Sullivan’s saloon, informed Deputy Coroner Michael Brown that he had seen Coe fall upon the concrete side- walk at 6 o’clock in the morning and that he was very drunk. There was a large lump on Coe's head. —_———— Supreme Court Ends Disputes.

Ferdinand Haber, the State Viticul- tural Commissioner to the St. Louis Exposition, supplemented the resolu- tion with a. short exhortation to the grape growers to aid in_the creation of sentiment favoring the consump- tion of California wines.
