THE SAN FRANGISGO CALL Proprietor JOHN D. SI RECKELS. . sanagry GREAT DAYS FOR THE STATE. ALIFORNIA is doing well these days. The Texas committee, sent here sued a remarkable report. in which the methods of our farmers nded without stint. The Texans were struck the thor- Itivation here.

"he Texas report is one of the best advertisements this State has had, and it should be among the documents sent out by the various rganizations which are advertising the fame of the State. At the St. Louis Exposition California wears the garlands. 'he collective exhibit, which shows all together the resources of the State, exceeds and excels that of any other American State or any other country, and it has carried off all the medals and prizes which can express its primacy. Our wine makers at first met the old trou- ble ari in the adopted foreign names for their vintages. But this g was overcome. It is a matter inherent in the cultivation here of f eign wine grapes. All American grapes are of the slip skin variety. I'he European and Oriental grapes have the skin adhering to the pulp. These are the wine grapes and they are known here by the ames given them in the Old World and the names of our wines have llowed the nomenclature of the vineyard. - It is probable that from this time on a change will appear, and that wur wines will take on distinctive California names. This is very de- sirable, for our vintage is destined to be one of the greatest in the orld, and it should carry with it everywhere the name and fame of 5 At present our wines appear on the lists of Eastern hotels lining cars under the general head “Domestic Wines,” and are rated with the artificed wines made from the Eastern slip I hich have to be stretched with sugar or alcohol.

HEN Kuropatkin left St. Petersburg to take command in Manchuria he said he was going to Asia to dictate terms of peace at Tokio. Well, he went, and from his first encounter with the Japanese was outclassed and outfought. After Liaoyang he fell back on Mukden, and after getting his breath assumed the of- fensive and issued a proclamation in which he said, “We will now compel the Japanese to do our will.” The armies met and again Ku- ropatkin is in retreat. He has shown great ingenuity in inventing terms to conceal disaster. After Liaoyang he cloaked his retreat under the phrase in his report, “I changed position.” In the last fight calls his retreat “a sagacious change in position.” To the military critics of Europe and this country his efforts seem to be a useless sacrifice and a cause of unnecessary carnage. It is not plain that Russia can get another army into Manchuria. The Japanese will surely control the railroad to Harbin and perhaps be- yond. They change its gauge and have the rolling stock ready for service. This means that they have rail facilities for troops, arms and supplies, while the Russians have none. With Togo in control of the Yellow Sea the Russians cannot use transports for troops, and if they could it would be impossible by such means to land a suffi- cient force in Manchuria, Korea or at Vladivostok tc match the J panese armj At present the sole hope for an end of the gory tragedy lies the crushing blows delivered by the troops of Oyama and the fail of Port Arthur. Japan has yet in reserve a fighting force of 1,100,000 men, with Rer base close to the field of operations and the railroad for military use. These things seem to equaliZe the two nations if their soldiers were of equal fighting capacity. But it appears to be proved that the Japanese are the superior soldiers. Kuropatkin would better go home and open a small in UNNECESSARY PRECAUTION. Tjun t from Tahiti who desired to cross this country en route to his home in France.

These simian pets made “their debut at Sherry’s, where they were introduced to society at luncheon by the Countess Festetics and Mrs. Hugh Tevis. Unlike the kind that Harry Lehr enter »d at a Newport | dinner party last year they be carried anywhere and accompanied the Countess and Mrs. Tevis into the res- can taurant. ! They wriggled and squirmed like some giant insects, for they hung from elastic threads attached to the women's fingers. ery movement by these leaders of fashion made the monkeys dance and bob about, evidently to the women’s delight, for they seemed as much amused with their . as children might be with spiders sold by the fakers on Four- teenth street. In fact, the new bidders for fame, which are about four inches high, bore a close resemblance to th reet toys and danced with the agility of gra hoppers. When the Countess Festetics extended her hand to Mrs. Tevis in the OCILEE THE FASHIONABLE FICHU.

This is interstate travel, and it is as much under Federal control as immigration is. It is permitted, but a man is sent back to the South Pacific and forbidden transit across the country be- cause he has the same disease. He was not an immigrant in the legal sense at all. He was a traveler. To say that such precautions as were taken in his case make any one here safer from tubercular infection is nonsense. Had he been an immigrant, intending to remain in the country, no onc guestions the right to exclude him. But he is a foreigner, holding a dignified position in his Government, and asked only the privilege of crossing our country to his home in France. We are of opinion that if a citizen of the United States under similar circumstances were denied the right to cross French terri- tory on his way home our Government would make a row about it. means of a bouillonne of gathered net. The net for the edge is simply cut in rips and gathered each side so as to leave a double heading as a finish, then stitched to the edges of the| fichu. Smart bows of ribbon in front complete an inexpensive and stylish fichu. When fashioning fichus almost any little odds and ends can be used, but nevertheless it is well to be careful not to have too many kinds of mate- rial on cne article. Nothing looks so bad as an old piece of silk or ribbon on a practically new fichu or fancy cipe. The difference is apparent even to the most untrained eye, and general appearance of a toilet is spoiled rather than improved by the addition of a carelessly put together fichu, is THE PETTICOAT. A special walking skirt petticoat is a necessity in a complete feminine ward- robe. woman can hope to attain the really correct “hang” for her outer skirt without one. in a design that clears the ground by about four inches, and have one, two or three deep ruffles for a trimming.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES. COUNCIL OF FLORENCE-—A. G, San Colombano, Chiavari, Italy. The Council of Florence was a part of the Council of Basle, Switzerland, Decem- ber)” 1431, to May, 1443. The council commenced in the place named in 1431, but Eugemius IV exercised his pre- rogative of removing the assembly to Ferra and from thence to Florence. COUNCIL OF TRENT—A. G., San Colombano, Chiavari, Italy. What is known as the Council of Trent was held at Trent (the ancient Tridentum), in Tyrol. This council reckoned in the Roman Catholic church as the eigh- teenth general council, first opened De- cember 13, 1545, and continued (with in- terruption) under Popes Paul III, Ju- lus II and Pius IV to December 4, 1563. MOLLY MAGUIRES—J. G., Rich« mond, Cal. The Molly Maguires com- posed a secret organization compris- ing several thousand anthracite coal miners in the northeastern part of Pennsylvania. It is believed that the organization was founded in 1854, but little of it was known until 1875, when it became known by reason of deeds of violence. James McFarlan, a detective, gained admission into the order by initiation and upon his testi- mony the leaders were arrested. An exciting trial followed, a number of the prisoners were hanged by squads on separate days and but little has been heard of the organization since. ~ VOTING MACHINE—A. G., San Co- lombano, Chiavari, Italy. There are several styles of voting machines. The principle of all is that there is a frame in which appears the list of the nomi- nees of sach party, also a space for in- dependent candidates. There is a but- ton on the side of each name and when a voter desires to vote he presses the button and the vote, by internal ma- chinery, is recorded on a slip for the candidate. When voting for one candi- date all other names are locked. Every vote that is cast for a candidate is registered consecutively, so that at the close of the polls the number of votes cast for each candidate appears on the slip. —_——— Special information supplied daily te business houses and public men the Press Clipping Bureau (Allen's), 230 Cale ifornia street.
