Manufacturers Offered Other Wine as Fa mous Laughing Water Small Vine Dressers Are the Chief Factors of the Up rising "ST NEWEST PRODUCTIONS STG IIS HI I tlffilt BR If 1 118 Ml THE world's detnnnd for more champagne than the cham pagne district can produce la nt the bottom of the serlouu rioting that Is now taking plnce lu Franco's most famous wine growing departments. The present ngltntlon Is a recrudescence of an ancient war between the departments of Ilarne and Aube as to which of them should be nlone entitled to label as champagne the wine they produce. To have the origin of the trouble understood It Is necessary to go back thirty years, when every vine dresser owned his own strip of land. In those days there were 200 vineyard owners In Vonteull alone against only forty today. Thirty years ago Uie big deal ers of Hheims and Kpernay paid high prices to the growers. In 18!)1 many of these large concerns commenced to buy up vineyards themselves, and, as many of the small holders refused to sell, a phylloxera scare was engineer ed which Induced some of them to yield. Two years later many new cham pagne houses started business. These firms imported wine from other parts of France, gave It the same treatment as the real article and sold It ns gen uine champagne. These houses were wise enough to buy up recognized vine yards. They produced on the spot only 00,000 gallons of wine, but sold 4,000, O00 gallons under the name of thu par ticular vineyard In which they made their headquarters. Germany Competes. Then Germany began to compete with fake champagne, and the lot of the old vino dresser became steadily worse aud worse. There was ulso a euccesslon of bad harvests, and the dis content increased. In January, 1000, a decree delimiting the wine country went into force, but did not prove ef fective. The Immediate cause of the blood shed and sacking that have been going on started with the act of the govern ment In excluding the sparkling wine of Aube from the champagne class, to which It had always been asslgnel heretofore. On March 19 last the Inhabitants ot the department of the Aube joined in a demonstration of protest nt Bar-sur Aube. Thousands of vineyard owners nnd workers went on a rampage. They made bonfires of tax demnud notes stuffed In grape baskets, flow the red flag over their municipal buildings and burned cfllgles of their so called ene mies. The municipal councils of more than sixty towns and villages resigned collectively, and a procession of over 12,000 workers marched through the streets of Uar-sur-Aube. The Aube wine growers before the eud'of March showed a determination to be stopped by nothing. They dl carded their moderate leaders und put themselves under the orders of the Unified Socialists and revolutionaries. On March 20 M. Leferre, n Itadtcti' Socialist deputy, introduced a bill In the chamber of deputies suppressing all wine delimitations, but incruasliiii the facilities of tho authorities for proceeding against those who handled or manufactured fraudulent wine. A fresh outbreak of rioting occurred on April 8, when the committee on ng rlculturo of the chamber of deputies, to which tho government had vcforrtd the champagne question, recommend cd that the delimitation le nrrangi'd ko as to include all the departments belonging to tho old province of Cham pngne. This proposal failed to satlsi" every party. The departments nlri'inlj Included In the champagne district re sented nn extension of the limits, I while those which were being brought I I In objected to a condition which was I attached to the reiort of the commit tee making It compulsory that the place of origin of the products he hi dlcated on the bottles. This, they said would mean the creation of five Ulntt" ' of champagne Marne. Also. Auin i Seine et Marne nnd Ilnute Mnrno. ! Recent Outbreaks. On April 11 there were fresh mani festations In the department of the Marne ngalnst tho restoration of the department of the Aube to the delim ited district. Tho rioting was due to the action of tho senate on the previ ous day In adopting a resolution ask ing tho cnblnet to restore Aube as part of tho champagne district. The other departments regard the action of the senate as a deadly blow to their Inter ests nnd as n concession to their dead ly rival. The majority In the chamber of de titles, as In the senate, probably op poses the system of delimitation. The chamber, however. Is proceeding cnu tiously, as It does not desire a minis terial crisis nt a time when tV budget, now four months belated, seems with in n few days of conclusion. The administration Is continuing to oppose tho suppression of tho delimi tation because It hopes to have the system recognized Internationally. The Madrid convention has already assur ed such recognition between France and Spain, Great Britain, Switzerland. Portugal nnd Brazil. An International conference on the subject will meet nt Washington on May 15, at which the French government hopes thnt nil countries will reach an understanding, even Germany, which Is tho most fear ed rival of France ns a champagne manufacturer. FORGIVES MURDERER. Widow of Former Govern3r Ca"s on His Slayer In Prison. Behind tho wnlls of the Idaho peni tentiary Harry Orchard, murderer of former Governor Frank Steunenberg and confessed slayer of fourteen other men, stood face to fneo with tho wo man he had widowed and was forgiven by her. The warden told her ho would not compel Orchard to see her. When her message reached Orchard his face turn ed pale. "Oh," ho exclaimed, with a look of horror, "I can't seo her!" Then ho relented, saying, "I would rather do almost anything else, but If Mrs. Steunenberg has asked to seo me tho lsast I can do Is to grant her re quest." It was n 4enso moment when the two were Introduced. Mrs. Steunenberg was first to speak, saying: "Mr. Or chard, I havo made this Journey to tell you thnt God has told me to forgive you. I havo forgiven you tho great wrong you did me, nnd I think that I could not have perfect peace until I tell you with my own Hps." HONEYMOON WITH GHOSTS.

South Sea Islanders Keep Young Wo men Secluded Until Marriage. In some parts of New Britain the uatives have a custom of placing young women In strict 'seclusion before mnrrlage by imprisoning them In cages for several years until they reach n marriageable ago. The Bov. George Brown, who has spent many years of his life In the south sen Islands endeavoring to stamp out polygamy and caunabullsm among the natives, describes how on one o casion ho inspected a number of these human cnges. Tho ntniosphere Inside them was lint and stilling. He says: "The cage was quite clean nnd con tained nothing but n few length of bauiboo for holding water. There was only room for a girl to sit or Ho down In a crouched position on tho bamboo platform, and when tho doors were shut It must have been nearly or qult dark Inside. "They nre never allowed to come out except once n day to bathe In u dish or wooden bowl placed close to each cage. They are placed In the cages when quite young and must remain there until their marriage." EARS TOO BIG FOR NAVY. Would Bo Recruit Barred Because Sailors Would Kid Him. Charles K.

Ills measure was taken, and ho was found to be in almost perfect condition, but the recruiting officer told him his ears would bar htm. "Why, your ears are so big and at tract so much attention that nil the sailors in tho navy would kid you so that you would find Ufo miserable," said tho officer. "Wo cannot accept you."

Black and white stripes will natural ly have first place in the early sea son's gowns, because, wo are under the seductive thrall of this combination Several of tho Important dressmakers have already turned out gowns ot black nnd white striped satin draped with black chiffon cloth or marquisette, with a touch of handsome heavy lace on the shoulders. With these gowns go turbans or large hats of black net, with white algrets and green scarfs or Alsatian bows of black nnd white striped rit bon. The whole Idea Is a good ono for spring, for attractive as black is Its universal usage the past whiter rather depressed one. If It had not been for the freedom of wearing vivid colors as a contrast wo would have been a som ber assemblage indeed. The Awakening. The hallway was dark. Ho softly camo behind her and kissed her light ly on tho cheek. Sho didn't scream She didn't even look around. And he darted away undiscovered. A little later ho met her In tho par lor. "Then you knew who it was?" ho said. . "Knew who It was?" she repeated. "Knew who It was that klesedyou?" Sho gave n sudden start. "Good land, was it you?" she cried. And there was something in her tone that sent him up to tho dressing room, where ho glared at himself in tho glass and kicked his own shins vigorously. Clevelnnd Plain Denier. An Authority. Peter McArthur was once talking with n friend when ho quoted another man as a financial authority, nis friend disputed the right of the per son quoted to be considered an expert. Mr. McArthur Insisted that tho man had a right to speak like nn oracle. "What is your definition of nn au thority?" asked his friend. "My idea of an authority," retorted Mr. McArthur, "Is a person who bluffs heyond my limit." Severe Critics.

TWO PLAYERS WnO HAVE OAtJQIIT HALL3 TIinOWN FJtOM MONUMENT AND ONE WHO WILIj ATTEMPT IT. compllshed tho feat with tho use of a catcher's glove. Elberfold plans to go them one better, as ho hopes to turn the trick wearing a regular lnfielder's glove, which Is as much protection as paper In comparison with tho big mitt worn by tho receivers. Hero is tho way Elberfold dopes It out: "The monument is 550 feet high, and the,, experts say .that the velocity qf tho ball when It reaches tho ground has a value of 000 pounds in weight. Maybe so, but I'll bet that lino drives straight from the bat to mo nt third base come just ns hard ns any bail tossed from the top of that monument. "At the base they come quicker, too, not giving a man much time to gauge their Htm or movement. To catch a ball thrown from tho famous monu- ! ment means nothing more to n good ball player than judging Its fall. I think I can do It." Elberfeld may have the painful ex perience of losing one or both hands by the attempt, but he wants to try It, and his team mates know him well enough not to offer nny advice.
